Milwaukee Fans Wild With Joy Over Victory

MILWAUKEE (UP) - Thia new baseball capital of the world has gone wild with joy. Nearly half a million wildlycheering fans roared "Welcome Home" Thursday night when manager Fred Haney, pitching hero Lew Burdette and the other Yankee killers brought back Milwaukee's first World Series championship. It was the city's biggest celebration since V-J Day. Police Chief Howard Johnson estimated "conservatively” that 400,000 fans whooped it up at the airport, along the Braves’ motorcade route and downtown. The celebration began with cheering, sirens, horn - blasting, bells, snake dances and confetti the minute the Braves beat the New York Yankees 5-0 to clinch the Series. Plane Brings Players It swelled to a tremendous climax when the Braves’ plane landed from New York. About 100,000 to 200,000 fans downtown blew horns, screamed, chanted, danced, shot off fireworks, drank beer in the streets and threw bushels of paper and confetti. Crowds were so great that more than 50 motorcycle escorts couldn’t get the motorcade through for a planned parade on Wisconsin Ave. aad had to take a short-cut to County Stadium for the players to get their belongings. When the Braves plane landed at Mitchell Field about 7:30 p.m. c.s.t. the roar of 12.000 persons on the observation deck was almost deafening. Haney and his wife were first off the plane, followed by Burdette who won three games in the Series. Haney waved his hat and Mayor Frank Zeidler rushed up and shook his hand. The welcoming committee couldn't find a microphone in the confusion for Haney to thank the crowd. He and the players shoved through the crowd to waiting convertibles for the trip downtown. Haney Rides Convertible As the motorcade began moving, crowds lined both sides of the street. Haney sat atop the back seat of a convertible. Fans tried to get close enough to shake hands but police pushed them back. Meantime, downtown Milwaukee was a madhouse. Paper and confetti were ankle deep in the gutters. About a thousand teen-agers did war dances, ch ant e d and shouted football yells. Young men jogged along the street carrying their girl friends piggy-back. A policeman tried to direct stalled traffic with -a tomahawk, Faae tore up sighs along Wisconsin

Lew Burdette Keeps Mastery Over Yankees NEW YORK (UP)—New York City mourned the blackest year in its sports history today while the rest of the nation hailed it as a year in which the National League went West and took the New York Yankees' scalps with It. "A great thing tor baseball,” said Commissioner Ford Frick after the Milwaukee Braves’ dream came true with Thursday’s 5-0 Series clincher and National League President Warren Giles echoed the thought with his comment, **A tremendous thing for the league and baseball as a whole.” But to New York, the Yankees’ defeat was the final blow — the third strike—in a year when the Giants elected to go to San Francisco and the Dodgers quit Brooklyn for Lbs Angeles. The "Big City” was confident the Yankees could preserve a measure of its pride but even that was stripped away Thursday in the face of Lew Burdette’s amazing mastery over the club that dealt him off as an expendable farmhand in 1951. End Os An Era? The Braves’ World Series victory means that baseball’s story has gone West. The two franchise shifts started the trend and the Yankees’ defeat was the clincher as the eastern monopoly on World Series triumphs finally was broken. Burdette, of course, emerged as one of the greatest heroes in World Series history. No pitcher since Stan Coveleski in 1920 had started and won three games in the same Series and the 30-year-old Burdette’s 2-runs-ln-27 innings, capped by 24 1-3 'consecutive scoreless frames, rivaled anything in Series competition since Christy Mathewson pitched three shutouts against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1905. The players who never are supposed to tighten up committed three official errors and three others of omission in the decisive seventh game. Mathews Kayos Larsen Eddie Mathews won the fourth game with his 2-run, lOth-inning homer and it was Mathews who struck the 2-run double Thursday that put the Braves on “the glory road,.to Stay-.lt kayoed Don (Perfect Game) Larsen and gave manager Fred Haney the lead. Mathews’ double caused Yankee manager Casey Stengel to remove Larsen and hits by Hank Aaron and Wes Covington plus an infield out enabled the Braves to lead by 4-0 in the third inning. Burdette protected it the rest of the way with Del Crandall’s eighth - inning homer simply putting Stengel ..eeper into a strategical hole than he already was. . It was an irony of the Yankee defeat that Casey’s second-guess of himself contributed to the key play that opened the way for the Braves’ winning rally. Casey Changes Strategy Originally, Stengel had decided to play this decisive game with defense paramount, 'fhe first lineup he posted in the Yankee dugout had Andy Carey, No. 1 defensively on his club, playing third and Joe CoHins, his best defensive player at first, playing that position. Tony Kubek was the center fielder in place of ailing Mickey Mantle. . „ When Mantle told Casey he could play, the old man shifted to offense and sent Tony Kubek to third. . Whether Carey would have played Johnny Logan’s grounder perfectly into a double play will never be known. But the fact is that Kubek threw wide to second base and the Braves had runners on first and second with one out instead of the Yankees being out of the inning. ' Mathews’ double followed ana the Yankees were on their way to defeat. To New York it was the final bitter blow — to Milwaukee the dream of dreams come true—ana to the rest of the country the official signal that the Golden West is the new capital of the baseball world. _____ Suspends Sentences Os Still Operators INDIANAPOLIS — (W — Federal Judge' Cale J.
