Don (Perfect Game) Larsen vs Lew Burdette; Casey Stengel trying for a record - tieing seventh world championship and Fred Haney trying for his first; the Yankees trying to save a measure of New York’s baseball honor and the Braves trying to make the Milwaukee dream come true, that is the drama that'll be unfolding before some 68,000 fans at Yankee Stadium. At game time, the Yankees were to be favored at 7-5. whether it is Larsen vs Burdette or Whitey Ford for the Yankees. All square at three games each after the Yankees won Wednesday’s 3-2 squeaker, both teams come down to the “big one" with key men suffering from physical ailments. The Yankees are unlikely to get anything but spot duty from sluggers Mickey Mantle and Bill Skowron and the Braves prob--1 ably won’t have the services of sparkplug Red Schoendienst and might be without those of pitcher Warren Spahn, a 21-game winner. Another Redeeming Feat? In Larsen, the Yankees are going with an erratic, hard-throwing right hander who reached the pinnacle of World Series fame last Oct. 8 when he pitched his perbibs*® 2 ** - HYBRID corn AND HYBRID SORGHUM souirr i Edmund Thieme R.

feet game against the Brooklyn ’ Dodgers. It was the only such I performance in World Series hisjtory and the first perfect game in the majors since 1922. But, despite that epic performance, Larsen proved to be s disappointment in the American League this season and wound up with a 10-4 record. In a very real sense, he’s out to redeem another lack-lustre year with another tremendous singlegame performance. Burdette, the 30-year-old onetime Yankee farmhand who went to the Braves in the 1951 deal for Johnny Sain, never has come close to a perfect game—but he’s got his own “perfect pitch.” It's undoubtedly nothing more than an exceptionally good sinker but his rivals insist it could be a spitter — and Burdette’s made it his • pitch" to keep ’em guessing. In an equally real sense, he too can "redeem" himself in the eyes of the baseball world by proving he’s. 100 per cent pitcher and not a single bit “cheater.” Bullpens Will Be Full Both managers will have everything they’ve got waiting in the bullpen. Stengel will have Ford, his ace and the Yankees’ openinggame victor as his No. 1 reliever, and all the others will be on call, too, because it’s a long rest coming up until next April 16. Haney s No. 1 reliever will be Spahn, unless the 36-year-old southpaw turns up sick again, and the others will be warming up at the slightest crisis too. Stengel, who’s really only a little city boy who made it in the big city, can tie the all-time record of seven world titles held by Joe McCarthy by winning today. He has won eight pennants in nine years in an unparalleled success story beginning in 1949. For Haney, the experience would ,be completely new. It was only in mid-season that Milwaukee fans were burning him in effigy. The Yankees demonstrated Wednesday their fabled ability to win the "big one” when they stayed alive in a game they had to win. Bob Turley, the 220-pound lireballer of the staff, yielded homers to Frank Torre and Hank Aaron but got two runs on a homer by Yogi Berra and the winner on Hank Bauer’s shot off the left field foul pole in the seventh inning. Bob Buhl yielded the homer to Berra but it was Ernie Johnson who suffered the loss for throwing the gopher ball to Bauer. “

Spieser And Moore Fight In December DETROIT (W — Chuck Spieser and his brother - manager, Joe Spieser rejoiced today at getting Archie Moore to accept their challenge to defend his light - heavyweight title against the Detroit fighter—even though they had to “sweeten the pot” with a SIOO,OOO guarantee. A group of Detroit businessmen, including the co-owner of the auto agency where Spieser works, put up the guarantee for the title bout in Detroit. The fight probably will be early in December and promoted by the International Boxing Club. .

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIAHA.:

Illinois May Take To Air At Ohio State By united press Illinois indicated it might take to the air rather than buck Ohio State s big line in their Big Ten clash this Saturday. The Illini worked on polishing their passing game in a rugged practice session Wednesday. Coach Ray Eliot also sent his squad through a hard scrimmage and sent the varsity through defensive drills against freshmen using Ohio State plays. Coach Woody Hayes also sent the Ohio State squad through a rough defensive scrimmage, saying he was dissatisfied with the Buckeyes’ progress against Illinois plays. Hayes scheduled only light drills today. Sidelined with knee injuries were first string deft tackle John Martin and reserve center Jerry Fields. Northwestern, which hopes to derail Minnesota Saturday devoted its workout to defensive drills. The Wildcats learned three previously doubtful starters will be ready for action. They are fullback Ed Quinn, guard Al Viola and halfback Bob McKiever. Minnesota, meanwhile, took it easy on contact work as a result of injuries. Expected to miss Saturday’s game are first string fullback Bob Schultz, halfback Dave Lindblom and ends Perry Gehring and Tom Moe. lowa’s HawkeyAs appear to have finally licked the flu bug that has plagued the team for more than a week. The squad, at nearly full strength, worked on polishing both its offensive and defensive patterns for the Indiana game. Passing featured Indiana’s rough workout in preparation for its homecoming game with the Hawks. The Hoosiers also stressed defense and ran through an offensive scrimmage. Punters worked overtime in an effort to correct mistakes. Purdue, with regular end Erich Barnes still on the sidelines, worked on ironing out defensive alignments. The Boilermakers got good news in that tackle Wayne Farmer probably wilt be ready for Saturday s game. Michigan State Coach Duffy Daugherty gave his first three teams a breather and sent his fourth string against the scrubs in an effort to pick the final five to make up his 38-man traveling squad for the invasion of arch-rival Michigan this weekend. Michigan Coach Bennie Oosterban ran hfc, Wolverines through a drill on ftinda mentals on the theory that the outcome of Saturday’s game will be decided on "blocking and tackling.” The Wolverines worked on defense against reserves running Spartan plays. He also moved right guard Gerald Marciniak from the second string to the first to replace Marvin Nyren. A mild flu wave slowed Notre Dame’s preparations for its game against Army Saturday. The ailment sidelined four players and restricted four others to light workouts. However, all were expected to be ready for Saturday’s battle. Hit hardest were halfback Dick Lynch, guard Jim Schaaf and right end Gary Myers, all first stringers, and center Dave Hurd, a second squad player. Restricted to light workouts were center Bob Scholtz, fullback Nick Pietrosante and co-captin Ed Sullivan, all on the first team, and second string guard Bob Gaydos.

| Yogi Berra Payoff Man For Yankees NEW YORK — IW — Once again, Yogi Berra is proving to be the “man what am” when the New York Yankee get down to the big payoff, • A mere .251-hitter during the ; American League season, the > squat 32 - year old catcher is i walloping at a ,364-clip in the series and Wednesday carried the : Yankees on his back in the “myst” 1 3-2 victory over the Braves. Yogi ' weighed in three hits—a single, homer and double. The homer, a two-run shot off ( Bob Buhl which sent the Yankees into a 2-0 third-inning lead, was the 10th of Berra’s World Series career. That total ties him with Brooklyn's Duke Snider for total series homers by active players, and leaves him five behind Babe Ruth’s all-time series record. It was a fitting “blowoff” for Yogi, who set a series mark by playing in his 53rd series game. "I’m hoping to make up for a punk year by having a good series,” said Yogi before the series. “I felt stale during the season but Pm in good shape now and I think I'll be all right.” - Berra’s averages, over the last four series speak eloquently of his value to a team which twice jn span has been deprived of the services of key-slugger Mickey Mantle. He hit .429 in the 1953 series, .417 in the 1955 classic and .360 last year. Yogi “broke up" the '56 series when he smashed two Romers off Don Newcombe to pave the way for the Yankees’ 9-0 seventh- game victory and it was like old times Wednesday when he tagged Buhl for his two-run shot. | Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) ... . By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)—Hank Bauer rolled into the record books today on "the biggest hit of my life”— and was looking for an even bigger one as the all - even Yankees and Braves squared off in the final game of the World Series. The ex-Marine who is known to his mates as “Scrap Iron” pulled the Yankees off .the floor in the seventh inning Wednesday with a home run which was fair by a matter of inches. It struck on the left field foul pole and gave Bob Turley a 3-2 leadj with which he ' won Jhe ball game. JX It marked the 13th consecutive World Series game in which the one-time machine-gunner had hit safely, tieing a record held by Frank Schulte of the Cubs and Harry Hooper of the Red Sox. Disproves Sidearm Jinx And when he teed oil on Ernie Johnson, it also put a big dent in I the long-held theory that Hank can’t hit side-arm pitching. Because it was one of those freewheeling side-arm deliveriea which Bauer pulled down the left field line. “The biggest hit of my life,” he chuckled gleefully. “But I thought for a while it was going to be foul. Even when I saw it hit the screen I wasn’t sure it was a 1 home run but figured maybe it was just a double. I was surprised when the umpire waved me on around. “But I’ll sure take it,” he added as an after-thought. Bauer, who looks a lot like golfer Tommy Bolt, thus teamed with another of the Yankees’ old pros—Yogi Berra—to pull it out of the fire for Turley. Because it was Yogi’s two-run blast in the third inning* that put the Yankees into a two-run lead which Turley dissipated with home run balls to Frank Torre and Hank Aaron. A Try Guy But the laurels, along with kudos for Turley, had to go to Hank and the hit that wrapped it up. And the Yankees were particularly happy that it happened to a guy who gives everything he has every moment he's on the ball field. < Hank is the guy who runs everything out and charges from start to finish. He doesn’t know how to ease up and it was this determination, almost as much as his ability, which finally took him out of the minors. It was a long pull for the 195pound Six-footer from East St. Ldbis, 11.1, who now lives in Overland Park, a Kansas City suburb. Because after one year at Oshkosh, Hank spent the next four years in the Mari n es. Coming back, he picked up at Quincy and then spent two hopeful years at Kansas City before finally making the grade with the Yanks. An Old Pro Since then he has been one pf the solid men of the team, one of the nucleus of old pros around whom the Yankees juggle their constant stream of fresh talent. This is his eighth World Series, which makes him something of an expert at this post-season business, and he tied the steady-hit-ting record by hitting safely in all seven games against the Dodgers last year and in all six so far this time around. “Now for the seventh.” he says. “It would be nice to get a hit today and hold the record. But I’d go hitless if it would mean we would win.” Which, it might be added, is the only way “Scrap Iron” knows how to play.
