Coleman Surprise Slar Os First Game NEW YORK ffi — Two- -time Marine Corps hero Jerry Coleman is the New York Yankees’ surprise hitting star so far in this World Series because he "is very careful about how he plays this game.” That’s the explanation offered by Yankees’ manager Casey Stengel. who picked the 33-year-old Coleman to start Wednesday’s opening game*almost at the last minute and was richly rewarded. Coleman's big day included: A double that was wasted, a single that enabled him to score toe game’s first run, a perfect squeeze bunt that scored Yogi Berra with toe clincher,_and a perfect “middle man** play on the double play that crushed toe Braves’ best threat. “I picked Coleman to start that game because of his experience,” said Stengel. “His experience has taught him to make every play in the book and he is very careful about bow he plays this game. "He knows what to do and then he executes it very careful.” Colemen, who served in both World War II and toe Korean War as a Marine fighter pilot, got toe nod over young fielding whiz

Milwaukee Is Disappointed At Spahn Loss NEW YORK (UP)— The oddsmakers hung toe spectre of a fourgame sweep over the Milwaukee Braves today when Casey Stengel sent Bobby Shantz, a carbon-copy of first-game victor Whitey Ford, out in an attempt to make it two straight for the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series. Broadway odds-makers quoted the defending world champions, 3-1 victors in Wednesday’s opener, as 6-5 to win the second game, 13-5 ta take the Series and only 5-1 to wrap it up in four games. These odds reflected the general feeling that toe Yankees cleared the way to their seventh world championship in nine years under Stengel when they made 36-year-old star Warren Spahn a loser in the opener. Milwaukee manager Fred Haney, disappointed but far from discouraged by toe first-game defeat, named ex-Yankee farmhand Lew Burdette to hurl the second game and “get the Braves even.” Burdette posted a 17-9 relord during the regular National League season and will be making his first World Series appearance. Haney is expected to stand pat with the solid right-handed hitting order that managed only five hits off Ford but Stengel was prepared to hit the Braves with his left-handed-hitting platoon. This probably means Harry Simpson at first base in place of the Injured Bill Skowron and Jerry Lumpe at third in place of Andy Carey, with Tony Kubek remaining in left field. Expect Pleasant Weather Another crowd of about 69,000 was expected- to be blessed with the "Indian summer” temperatures that marked the opener before toe teams take America’s greatest sports show on the road. Tomorrow is an off-day of travel with toe third, fourth and fifth games scheduled for County Sta-i dium, Milwaukee, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The sixth and seventh, if necessary, will be played at Yankee Stadium. In Shantz, Stengel is sending toe Yankees’ Cinderella Kid of 1957 out on his first World Series assignment in a career that reached a peak when he had a 24-7 record and was named the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1952. Burdette, 30, is toe most controversial pitcher in baseball because nobody seems to be sure whether or not he actually employs the outlawed spitball. Known as a “cute workman,” Burdette keeps all his stuff low. A native of Nitro, W. Va., Burdette was a highly-respected Yankee farmhand when toe world champions decided they needed late-season veteran pitching to wrap up toe 1951 American League pennant. For this reason alone, they were persuaded to include Lew in a deal for Johnny Sain—a transaction that paid off for the Yankees inasmuch as Sain helped them to toe pennant but that hurt them inasmuch as they tost a first class young pitcher. Dope Stood Up Advance dope on a World Series probably never stood up better than in Wednesday’s opener when the Yankees displayed their allaround resourcefulness and had a pitcher to control toe Braves’ power. Ford and Spahn matched zeroes until toe last of toe fifth when Gerry Coleman, one of Stengel’s platooners, led off with a single, advanced to third on two infield outs and scored toe first run of the game when Hank Batier pickled Spahn’s first pitch up toe right center field alley for a double. Ford started and finished strong but he seemed to be laboring in the middle innings when he gave toe Braves three chances to score. But he threw a double play ball to Joe Adcock to choke off the first threat in the fourth, retired Red Schoendienst with two on and two out in the fifth and stopped Hank Aaron, Adcock and Andy Pafko in the sixth after walking Johnny Logan and Ed Mathews. The Braves finally nudged Ford for their run in the seventh when Schoendienst singled home Wes Covington, who had doubled, with two out. But by then, toe Yankees had added two more runs on sixth-inning singles by Elston Howard and Andy Carey, a walk and COleman’s suicide-squeeze sacrifice bunt. The victory was toe fifth of Ford’s World Series career and made him an obvious choice to pitch either the fifth or sixth games. Spahn can be expected to come back in toe fourth game. If the Bravek are trailing, and un-

Cards Interested In Robin Roberts NEW YORK W) — Frank Lane said today toe Cardinals are “definitely interested” in obtaining Robin Roberts but there were indications St. Louis might have to outbid the National League champion Milwaukee Braves. Lane refused to commit himself ] on which players he might offer 1 toe Phillies, but the Braves appar- 1 ently are ready to give up a 1 pitcher plus infielder Felix Mantilla and catcher Carl Sawatski if < they can awing toe deal. ( "I still consider Roberts a 1 mighty fine pitcher even though* 1 he lost 22 games this year,” Lane - said. "He's the kind of competitor who could come right beck 1 and win 15 or 18 next season.” 1 Roy Harney, general manager of 1 toe Phillies, also thinks along Lane’s lines in that respect and 1 thus far has shown no indication 1 he is ready to peddle the 31-year- 1 old right hander, who won 29 or more games every season from 1 1950 thoough 1956. The Phillies, however, are : known to be in the market for ‘ right-handed power hitters and the Cards might be induced to part ' wto Ken Boyer. “I don’t want to say who I’d give up for Roberts,’* Lane ex- ( plained, “because no matter who( I named, Harney would come back and say, “1 wouldn't give up Roberts for three of whomever Lane offered.’ "If Roberts is available, the St. Louis club is definitely intertoe Phillies a good deal. Now it’s up to them, though.” As far as any “untouchables” with the Cardinals are concerned. Lane said owner Gussie Busch told him when he first came to St. Louis that he could trade anyone he wished with the exception of Stan Musial. "I like my job” the Cardinal general manager said, "so when my boss tells me something. I don’t go contrary to his wishes.” World Series Cities Have Flu Outbreaks Outbreaks Coincide With Baseball Fever — .. By UNITED PRESS ...

Krumbiegel said the baseball happy city is in the ’throes of an Asian flu epidemic.” Krumbiegel said school absenteeism ranged from 60 to 157 per cent above normal because of the flu. He said toe incidence of the disease among the adult population was more difficult to ascertain.
