Braves Defeat Phils To Halt Losing Streak By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Those "pallbearers" had better find themselves another funeral somewhere because the suddenly come - alive Milwaukee Braves don’t look as if they’re going to play the fall guys for a National League burial party. Just when everyone was despairing of his chances, that Milwaukee “patient'’ showed a decided turn for the better today and it could be the crisis is past, what with the end of a three-game losing streak and a more comforting three-game lead in the race. The Braves brought the big change about when they snapped out of their slump with a 14-hit attack that overcame the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1. Monday night. A Brighter Air Gone was the morgue-like atmosphere which had pervaded the Braves’ clubhouse following Sunday’s loss to the Phils. Absent also was Fred Haney's biting reference of “Here come the pallbearers’’ as writers entered the Milwaukee dressing room after the Cardinals had cut the lead to 2% games on Sunday. The chief three Milwaukee players who helped dispel the glqom were Bob Buhl, Del Rice and Johnny Logan. Buhl, pitching his first complete game since he was sidelined with arm trouble Aug. 18. held the Phillies to eight hits and the only run he yielded was unearned in the eighth inning- The victory was Buhl's seventh in a row and 17th of the season against six losses. He is 5-0 against Philadelphia this year. Rice, never much of a slugger, poled a homer off loser Harvey Haddix in the third inning and the Braves were never headed Logan headed the Braves’ attack with three hits. The victory reduced the Braves' pennant - clinching “magic number” to nine. They have 11 games left to play as dp the second-place Cardirials. Redlegs Eliminated In the only other game played Monday night, the. Cincinnati Red*, legs defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers. 3-2, in 10 innings but were mathematically eliminated from pennant contention due to the Braves' triumph. Rookie outfielder Joe Taylor drove in all three of Cincinnati’s runs. He hit solo homers in the first and sixth innings and then walked with the bases' full in the 10th to force in the winning run. Johnny Klippstein of the Redlegs pitched a six - hitter while southpaw Johnny Podres was the loser. Podres gave way to Ed Roebuck after Ed Bailey opened the 10th with a single and Roebuck issued the game - deciding walk to Taylor. Rain cancelled a scheduled game between the Orioles and Indians and also washed out a gams

Los Angeles Makes Final Offer To Bums LOS ANGELES (UP) - The somewhat reluctant Los Angeles City Council placed a “fan and final” offer on the desk of the Brooklyn Dodgers today — but Dodger executives said they would await official reports on the proposal before making any decision on joining the "Westhard ho!” movement in the National League. Warned by Mayor Norris Poulson that they had “reached the crossroads" in their negotiations with O'Malley, the City Council Monday voted 11-3 to approve a plan mapped by official negotiator Harold McClellan. But the successful ballot came only after a stormy three-hour session in which the mayor clashed with several councilmen and after one man said he would ask the council to reconsider the move today. McClellan maintained that his plan was somewhat “short” of what O’Malley originally had requested. He was confident that the Brooklyn boss would accept the offef. In a nutshell, here is what Los Angeles offered the Dodgers if they will come West: —To trade 300 acres of land in Chavez Ravine in downtown Los Angeles, with two million dollars in improvements on it, to the Dodgers in exchange for the Dodgers’ Wrigley Field. Estimates on the value of the property owned by the Dodgers here have ranged from two to six million dollars—The city would retain half the oil and mineral rights to the acreage. (This is an important factor in the trade of any land in this area as oil wells can be spotted from any upstairs window in the city. It brought the query from Councilman ansom Callicott: “Why do the Dodgers need oil and mineral rights to operate a ball club?”) —The city would retain title to 40 acres of the land to be leased to the Dodgers- On this land, the Dodgers would spend $500,000 in construction of recreational facilities and spend at least $60,000 each year for maintenance. O’Malley already has announced that if he moves west, his organization will furnish the capital to onstruct a 50,000-seat stadium. Army-Tulane Game Moved To Academy * ’ 'UP' — Louis’- ■« S c-n,an F. Edward He‘’da-’ criticized a state segntion law and several organ!Hons which forced transfer of : Nov. 16 Army-Tulane footbaU from New Orleans to West Point. The U. S. Military Academy and Tulane in a joint statement Monday announced the game will be clayed at West Point instead of in the Sugar Bowl here because of a Louisiana segregation law. The 1956 law bans interracial athletic events and forbids integrated seating. Lt. Gen. Garrison H. Davidson, academy superintendent, and Dr. Fred Cole, acting president of Tulane agreed on the change in site. Hebert accused the Department of the Army of giving in to “vicious propaganda of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." Tulane was blamed, too. The university “compromised the is»ie” by .agreeing to transfer ‘lie game to West'Point, the New Orleans Democrat said. "Tulane should have stood firm on the principle and •fulfillment of the contract signed by the Army,” he said. The defense put up by Tulane and West Point was that a fresh study of Louisiana’s segregation -laws revealed that the segregated seating arrangement in the Sugar Bowl would prevail in the section of seats sold by West Point. Tulane announced it will refund money for individual tickets and season tickets after Oct. 1. Rep. James Fulton (R - Pa.) on Sept. 4 made the first public outcry against Army playing in New Orleans. He asked President Eisenhower to forbid the game to be played in New Orleans because Louisiana segregates whites and Negroes. - -- .... a,. ~ ■ l 1118 .--,yw- l r-c-.
