When the Dodgers clash with the Pittsburgh Pirates under the are-lights at Ebbets Field, they will be winding up their home season for 1957 — and with it a screwy saga that started back in 1900 and ran through every emotion in the book from high drama to low comedy. After tonight, the Dodgers will have only three games left, all in Philadelphia. And even New York Mayor Robert Wagner now admits that the team probably will play next season in Los Angeles "barring some unforseen development.” So tonight they'll close the back cover on a "book” that included such characters as the zany Babe Herman, one-hit hero Cookie Lavagetto, controversial Jackie Robinson, and stars like Zach Wheat, Nap Rucker, Dazzy Vance, Jake Daubert, Roy Campanella, Gil Hedges, and Duke Snider. It’s a story that prompted a million jokes, mostly bad, like “I would have gone to Brooklyn, but I lost my passport.” It made the very word "Brooklyn” a reason for gales of laughter on radio programs and television shows.

Milwaukee Celebrates First Baseball Flag

MILWAUKEE (UP) — “Bring On The Yankees!" clamored the triumphant Milwaukee Braves today—and they Insisted it wasn’t just the champagne talking. “What’s so special about the Yanks?" asked Milwaukee Man-, 1 ager Fred Haney. "They can be 5 beaten, too. You can certainly tell ■ ’em we’ll show up for the World 1 Series.” Haney, ordinarily baseball’s ' most cautious citizen this side of t Brooklyn’s Walt Alston, merely 8 was echoing the statements of his t defiant players, who brought Milwaukee its, first National League > pennant in' history Monday night s Champagne flowed like root . beer in the Braves’ clubhouse after they applied the pennant--1 clincher with an 11 inning 4-2 vic- . tory over the St. Louis Cardinals. But the “hero” of the victory, Hank Aaron, struck a sober note ; when he talked about the Yankees, j "They can be had,” said Aaron, I whose two-run homer in the 11th , touched off the biggest civic pennant celebration since 1926 when 1 St. Louis went wild over the Cardinals triumph. Count On Youth "He threw me a curve and I 1 hit it,” commented Aaron, refer--1 ring to the pitch he hit off Cardinal reliever Billy Muffett. “I hope to hit the same way against the Yanks”. Veteran Warren Spahn, more or ' less the spokesman for the Braves, ' agreed with Aaron that the Yankees were not invincible. 1 “The spirit on this club will 1 carry us through the series," said i Spahn. "These guys are hungry, i They’re young, they've never been i in a series before and they feel i .hey can beat anyone. If anything i >sses for us, it’ll be inexperi- . :nee.” Spahn, 36, is the only member of .ae Braves who played with the 1948 edition that won a pennant I in Boston- He insisted this club was better because “it’s younger •and it can do a lot more thiflgs than that '4B team.” Red Schoendienst, considered by many to nave been the most vital cog in the Braves' climb to the pennant since he joined them from the Giants last June, said he thought “our pitching will make the difference in the series” and his shortstop partner Johnny Logan added that the Braves’ -aggressiveness "will overcome anyhing the Yankees can throw at us.” While his jubilant players poured champagne over each jther and picked apart fried -hickens that were set for them in the clubhouse, the happy, but subdued, Haney preferred to dwell on the patience of the Milwaukee fans rather than his team's chances against the Yankees. 1 must have received 1,500 letters i-t he last 10 drs f - ■ n pie who told me how much they were -praying for us,” Haney said, obviously recalling how Milwaukee blew the pennant to Brooklyn a year ago this time. "We’ve repaid the fans for all the confidence they had in us. I’ll ever forget how they turned out and gave us a warm welcome after we lost the pennant and came home from St. Louis last yearAs Haney was making his comments, General Manager Frank Lane of the Cardinals came over, clamped a hand on Haney’s shoulder and said, “This is justifiable retribution.” “I’m proud of our gang and I know you are proud of yours,” Lane told Haney. "I wish the best in the series.” Hutch Praises Cards The Braves carried on their merrymaking well into the night, gleefully ripping each other’s sport shirts and crumpling one another’s hats long after the 40,929 saps had deserted a darkened I county stadium and headed for their own celebration in downtown Milwaukee. Over in the Cardinals clubhouse, St. Louis Manager Fred Hutchinson was lavish in praise for his scrappy Cardinals who had cut the Braves’ lead to 2% games as

r >■ i ! recently as eight days ago- ’ "Our boys did one helluva job," 1 be said. "They hung to there all b the way. Sure, We’ll be contenders ■ again next year. We're bound to g.et better. We’ve got a young club j;to work with.” ‘ Stan Musial, who contributed ‘ (wo donblcs and a single to boost ;hls batting average to .349 in a ’i losing cause, said "we battled all ' the way, and did better than most ’ Mybody expected ” 5 Larry Jackson, second of three ” Carci als’ hurlers in Monday ! night’s game, was stopped toy a ' delghted Milwaukee fan as he left > the Cardinals' quarters. "Great race, wasn’t it?” “Depends on how you look at it,” Jackson said solemnly. ’ 1 „ : Braves, Yanks I : Clinch Flags Monday Night By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The, Milwaukee Braves took the National League pennantt west for ■ the first time in a decade today ! while the New York Yankees added an eighth American League 1 flag to Casey Stengel’s golden 1 nine-year regime. The races ended but 10 min--1 utes apart Monday night when a 1 two-run homer by Hank Aaron • gave the Braves a 4-2, 11 - inning ■ clincher over the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Athletics dealt the Chicago White Sox their s knockout blow with a 6-5 triumph. The long-frustrated Braves thus 1 enjoyed the thrill of clinching ■ their flag themselves while the ' blase Yankees, who spent the night at the Basilio - Robinson ’ fight, clinched by proxy- The Athi letics have so many ex - Yankees i that they often are referred to as i the world champions’ “second- ■ stringers.” : The Brave* became the first I western team to win a National ’ League flag since the Cardinals won in 1946 when Aaron’s' 43rd ■ homer of the year, a 405-foot shot '■ over the center field fence, followed a single by Johnny Logan. > A crowd of 40,926 at County Stai Jium saw the Milwaukee dream I come true after a tense 3-hour and i 33-minute struggle in which Stan : Musial staged a one - man war I against the Braves. » f 1 < Now Hitting .349 Battling to keep the Cardinals •alive,” the 36 - year -old Musial 1 s and a single in u h.es to raise his average to j 0, One of the doubles followed a single by Wally Moon and two runs scored to put St. Louis ahead, 2-1, when Al Dark singled with two out Larry Jackson, who relieved Vinegar Bend Mizell in the second inning, protected the -»lead until the seventh when Red.

10th, retired the only three batters he faced to gain credit for his ninth victory. Billy Muffett, who hurled the final 2 2-3 innings for St. Louis, suffered his second loss The Athletics ended the White Sox’ last hopes for a miracle when'pihch - hitter Bob Cerv, an ex-Yankee, delivered a 410 - foot Sacrifice fly that brought in the 1 winning run in the eighth Inning. ' The bases had been filled on a ’ double by Hector Lopes, Hal Smith's infield hit and a walk to 1 Billy Hunter after the White Sox • rallied for two runs in both the ! sixth and seventh innings to gain 1 a M tie. i Homers Prove Margin Homers by Woody Held, pitcher ! Alex Kellner and Gus Zernial had lifted the Athletics to an early 5-1 lead but Minnie Minoso drove in three runs and Jim Landis hit a key triple as the White Sox fought back. — The 66-year-old Stengel's eighth pennant enabled him to tie Hall of Famer Joe McCarthy's Yankee record and left him one flag behind the American League mark set by Connie Mack. The major league record of 10 pennants is held by John McGraw. The pennant was the 23rd in the Yankees’ fabulous success story which began in 1921. The Boston Red Sox defeated the Washington Senators, 9-4, before a crowd that included Vice President Richard Nixon and the Cleveland Indians scored an 11inning, 5-4 victory Over the Detroit Tigers in the only other games of the day or night. Frank Malzone drove in four runs, Jackie Jensen knocked in three and Ted Williams went 1-for-1 to raise his average to -385 as Mike Fornieles won his 10th game for the ed Sox. Williams walked three times and was hit by a pitched ball so now has had four homers, two sipgles, nine walks and been hit by a pitch in 16 consecutive tries. Dick Brown singled home his winning run for the Indians as Cal McLish won his ninth game and Jim Bunning failed in his bid for his 20th win. Bowline Scores Merchant League W L Pets.

Basilio Wins Championsip From Robinson l NEW YOK (UP)—Carmen Bai silio, who won the world middle- : weight championship from Sugar > Ray Robinson in 15 violent rounds 1 Monday night, will meet ex-cham-pion Ray in a return title fight within six months, it seemed near- ■ ly certain today. I <Basilio, the ex-onion farmer of . Chittenango, N Y., who pounded i out a split decision over the anl cient but amazing Robinson said, ; “I'll be ready to honor my return - bout contract within six l months.” And Robinson's most trusted ad- ■ visor, George Gainford, declared today "Yes, I'd like to see Ray ; fight Basilio for the title again, if we can get assurances from the boxing commission that the New York state law against the use of collodoin - iodoform ointment will be carried out." Gainford, principal handler in i Robinson's' corner during the electrifying battle before 38,000 in Yankee Stadium, complained to • referee Al Berl five times against uk of the ointment on Basilio’s . bleeding left brow, because it was getting into Robinson’s eyes and paining him. Considered Tip-Off Although Robinson told reporters he would require four or five days to decide whether to fight . Basilio again jar to retire, Gainford’s statement was interpreted by Sugar Ray’s friends as the tipoff to a return brawl. Thirty - seven -year -old Robinson has a pre-fight contract with Basilio, calling for a return shot at the title within 90 days or at * mutually agreeable time thereafter. Carmen's own welterweight crown was not at stake Monday night; but the title was vacated automatically the instant his hand was raised in victory as new middleweight champion, by state law. Whether the NY. State Athletic Commission Could make some exception, should Robinson unexpectedly retire and should Basilio prefer to keep the welter title—is a matter of conjecture. Basilio, who almost retired in despair six years ago because of ring reverses, triumphed heroically Monday night in the greatest fight of his life—and one of the most thrilling ever staged in any ring. The betting was at "even money” when they squared off, and it was a “zigzag” conflict in which

Knickerbockers Trade McGuire To Pistons NEW YORK (UP) — Dick McGuire, one of pro basketball’s greatest playmakers, has been traded by the New York Knickerbockers to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Detroit's No. 1 draft choice next year. The 31-year-old McGuire played eight seasons with the Knicks and led the club in assists seven times. each was staggered several times and each appeared on the verge of a knockout at least once. In the bloody eleventh session, Robinson — bleeding from the nose—was stunned by a right to the head and then battered nearly a minute on the ropes. In the 13th, Basilio may have been saved by the bell, after a left hook buckled his knees and a barrage to the head left him lurching about crazily and ready to fall But neither of the rugged champions went to the canvas once. 6%-Pound Edge Basilio, weighing 153 >4 pounds to obinson’s 160, forced the fighting in every round against his heavier and rangier opponent. Before the struggle was finished, .a.men was bleeding from two gashes over his left eye and from .ae nose and there was a large mouse under his right eye. But he was still forcing the fight and be won the last round on the cards of ■ ill three ring officials. t Meanwhile, Sugar Ray—fighting defensively and trying to catch his shorter opponent with uppercuts and left hooks as he came in — made such a gallant stand that referee Al Berl voted him the fight on a rounds basis, 9-6. Hut judgds Artie Aidala and Bill echt favored Basilio respectively, >5-1 and 8-6-1. The United Press agreed, 9-6 A poll of 47 sports writers at the ringside showed 26 for Basilio, 17 for ob- ■ inson and four “even.” Wilman i Say. * “Boost Your Average 10 pins with correctly . fitted equipment by I Brunswick!” — Also — NAT-NAST Bowling Shirts MIES RECREATION Open Bowling Every Afternoon. ■ '
