Braves’ left-fielder, becomes Milwaukee's favorite bandit as he robs Gil McDougald of the Yanks of a sure homer in the fourth inning of Monday’s game. His second great catch of the series helped Lew Burdette fashion his 1-0 victory over the Yanks and send the series back to New York with the Braves ahead in games. 3-2.

Jerry Coleman Shoulders Blame For Yanks' Loss MILWAUKEE W — The big hop confused Gerry Coleman and he took the blame today for the run which put the world champion New York Yankees in desperate straits against the challenging Milwaukee Braves. Coleman referred to Eddie MatWews’ bopping ground ball in the sixth inning of the fifth game of the 1957 World Series. Mathews scored the only run of the game two plays later. “It was my boot?’ Coleman said. “I saw the ball all the way and misjudged it. It took a high hop at first, but it wasn’t a hard ball to handle. I wgs about 15 feet out on the grass and I came in. but not far enough. “I should have come one more step and I would have had him. I misjudged the runner’s speed and then I took the ball against my chest instead of in front of me. The throw was on the line and accurate, but when I got the ball I might as well have eaten it.” Coleman drew no criticism from manager Casey Stengel, although Stengel said flatly that “that ball should have been out.” But there were perhaps two reasons why the aging sage of the Yanks made no issue out of the play. First, Casey’s strategy backfired

in the eighth when the Yanks appeared to have a chance to tie the game and maybe win, arid second. Coleman was one at, the two playera whom he believed hit Lew' Burdette. ■. ..., ;. Coleman singled with one out in the eighth and Stengel put in Brickey Mantle, who couldn’t bat,or field due to a sore shoulder, as a 'pinchrunner. Then he pulled his pitcher, Whitey Ford, in favor of Elston Howard, whose homer Sunday tied the game in the ninth inning. “I was going to let Ford bat and sacrifice," he said, “but I could see I wasn’t going to use Howard later in the game, so I changed my mind and went for two runs instead of one.” Howard was called out on a sweeping sidearm third strike and Mantle was caught stealing on the first pitch to the next Yankee batter, Hank Bauer. The only other hitter worthy of Stengel’s praise was Gil McDougald, who drove a pitch by Lew Burdette against the left field fence in the fourth inning. But Wes Covington dove against the mesh to snare the drive and somersaulted into the cinders for the pytout “We didn’t do any hitting," Stengel said. “Their pitcher held us in when we had men on base. Our pitcher gave us a good-pitched game without much help from us. I can’t find fault with the way he pitched.” National Hockey Loop Opens Play By UNITED PRESS The Chicago Black Hawks and the Toronto Maple Leafs—the two “have nots” in the National Hockey League last season—have the honor of opening the 1957-58 campaign tonight at Chicago. Both teams missed last spring’s Stanley Cup playoffs, the Maple Leafs finishing fifth and the Black Hawks last in the six-team league. The Canadiens, defending Stanley Cup champions, don’t swing into action until Thursday night when they entertain the Black Hawks. That same night the Red Wings play host to the New York Rangers. The Boston Bruins must mark time until Saturday night when they open their 70-game schedule against Black Hawks at Boston. Other Saturday night games will find the Rangers at Montreal and the Red Wings at Toronto.

Lew Burdette Hurls 1-0 Win, Braves Favored NEW YORK (UP) - Manager Fred Haney today named fastballing right-hander Bob Buhl to pitch Wednesday’s sixth game of the World Series for his nowfavored and red - hot Milwaukee Braves against the New York Yankees. Haney made the aqpouncement while his Braves, who need only one more victory to clinch baseball’s world championship, went through a late-morning workout at Yankee Stadium. Manager Casey Stengel already had disclosed he will start righthander Bob Turley, another fast- i ball huyler, for the Yankees in their backs-to - the • wall effort to “stay alive” in the series. Haney's selection gives Buhl, a second chance at series glory. He was the starting pitcher for the Braves in the third game of the series Saturday in Milwaukee but was hammered out of the box in the first inning as the Yankees started toward an eventual 12-3 victory. The pepped - up Braves found themselves today 2-1 favorites to win the series and thus make Milwaukee the baseball capital of the world. With Mickey Mantie still a huge question-mark and Casey Stengel ■ in desperate pitching straits, thd National League champions take ! the Series back to Yankee Stadiuri) Wednesday riding a wave of enthusiasm that hasn't been matched in recent Series history. Stengel's worst fears have materialized with Bill Skowron almost certainly out of the Series and Mantle probably due only for , spot duty. This is what Stengel worried might happen in his pre- ' Series analyses because without those two sluggers, it doesn’t seem possible he can match the Braves’ hitters. Stengel’s Back To Wall Stengel, backed to the wall strategically, has to play "scared baseball.” He’s announced he’ll come back with firebailer Bob Turley in the sixth game but he : knows he must use every available pitcher for relief—and that includes Whitey Ford. So far. Ford is the only Yankee pitcher who really has looked good against the Braves and he was beaten, 1-0, Monday when exYankee farmhand Burdette out- ■ pitched him in a brilliant duel. ; Burdette, whom the Yankees ! traded in the 1951 deal tor Johnny : Sain, came back to haunt his old ! bosses with a sparkling seven-hit- ; ter that topped his effort in the 4-2, second - game Milwaukee tri- : umph. Lew didn’t let a Yankee ( reach third base and closed bril- , liantly by striking out two batters ' in tiie ninth and getting Yogi Ber- . ra on a 15-foot pop fly for the final out after Gil McDougald singled to keep New York alive. Ford appeared every bit as good as Burdette, especially in the early going, but the breaks went against him—as they so rarely do ’ for the Yankees. The first, of course, was Eddie Mathews' infield hit — which second-baseman Jerry Coleman admitted he “mis- . judged.’’ Then came a bloop sin- : gte by Hank Aaron .that sent ’ Mathews to third and a clean sharp single to right field by Joe AdcockStrategy Controversial It remained for the Yankees, especially Stengel, to come up . with the most controversial strat- i egy the Series has seen so far. With one out, Coleman singled 1 in the bottom of the eighth and the wheels started turning in Stengel’s head. Moments later, Mantle appeared out of the Yankee dugout and it seemed certain ( that he was going to bat for ■ Ford. j But the crowd of 45,811 was as- ■ tonished when Mantle went in to ’ run for Coleman and Elston How- ; ard, who tied Sunday’s game with a three-run ninth - inning homer, ( was the pinch-hitter for Ford. ' Howard was called out on strikes ana then Mantle was out stealing 1 when Hank Bauer missed Burdette’s first pitch to him. The only other anxious moment ’ for Burdette, the controversial 1 right hander who had a 17-9 rec- i ord during the N.L. season, came ; when McDougald singled and < brought up Berra with a chance to win it with a homer. But Yogi’s < effort was a feeble pop that Mathews squeezed to a pulp only a few feet from the plate. The teams flew out of Milwau- ( kee Monday night and probably , will have light workouts today. , No western National League team . has won a world championship since the St. Louis Cardinals won in 1946—but a new dynasty ap- ' pears to be growing in Milwaukee 1 arid it may be official by late 1 Wednesday afternoon.

Los Angeles Clears Way For Brooklyn LOS ANGELES - Cffl - The City Council today awaited word from Brooklyn Dodger President Walter O’Malley on his plans to move the ball club to Los Angeles following passage of an ordinance which officially offers them a site tor a stadium. O’Malley said Monday night in New York that he would not have any comment on the council action until this afternoon. He learned of the council approval after arriving in New York from Milwaukee where he attended the World Series game. The ordinance was approved Monday after a dramatic day-long debate in council chambers. If accepted it would provide the Brooklyn club with 300 acres of land in Chavez Ravine for a 50,000 - seat Stadium which O'Malley said the club would build if it decided to move west, O’Malley decision on whether or not to accept the Los Angeles offer must come before Oct. 15. The deadline was set by the National League last Tuesday after the Brooklyn president had requested a two-week extension on a previous deadline of Sept. 30. High School Game Is Again Postponed HARTFORD CITY — A postponed football game between Alexandria and Hartford City high school teams will not be played tonight, after all.

Oklahoma And Sparfans Are Top Elevens NEW YORK (UP) — A formful yeek end kept Oklahoma and Michigan State in the 1-2 positions atop the United Press college football ratings tpday. Army was this week's only newcomer among the top 10 teams. Army’s leap from 12th to Bth olace and Michigan’s promotion from Bth tc sth represented the biggest advances of the week. Throughout the top 10 groups, there were only a few minor changes in the ratings. Oklahoma, which resumed play after an extra week's layoff and —ushed lowa State, 40-14, for its 2d ro-ise utive victory, lost some f its lead over Michigan State once again. The Sooners’ firstplace margin was cut to 38 points from last week’s 62. Twenty-six of the outstanding coaches who comprise the United Press rating board picked Oklahoma No. 1 in the nation; five voted for Michigan State. Coach Bud Wilkinson’s team attracted 327 out of a possible 350 points, compared to 291 for Michigan State. Texas A&M moved up one notch to third, exchanging last week’s ranking with Minnesota. After fifth - ranked Michigan came Oregon State, Duke, Army, lowa and Auburn in that order. The Texas Aggies, Michigan, Duke and lowa each received one first-place vote. Navy, upset by North Carolina, dropped out of the top 10 group. The two top games of next week end thus shaped up as sec-ond-ranked Michigan State vs fifthranked Michigan, and eighthranked Army vs Notre Dame, which moved up to a tie for thtf No. 11 rating this week. Trailing Notre Dame and Rice in the second 10 group were Arkansas, North Carolina State, Georgia Tech and North Carolina, with Navy and Mississippi tied for 17th, Pittsburgh 19th and Texas Christian 2uth.
