Worst Series Defeat In 37 Years On Yanks MILWAUKEE (UPD— The Milwaukee Braves battered five New York pitchers for 15 hits, including home runs by Billy Bruton and Lew Burdette, to bury the Yankees, 13-5, in the worst World Series defeat in 37 years for the American League champions. The Braves bombed Bullet Bob Turley off the mound in the very first inning when they scored seven times, sending 10 men to the plate It took two other pitchers, Duke Maas and Johnny Kucks, to finally subdue the warpathing Braves in that inning. The rest of the game was for fun, with Burdette, the tWee-firne Yankee kisser of 1957, putting down the Yankees in order in six of the nine innings. Opens With Homer Billy Bruton, who won Wednesday's first’ game with a 10th inning single, opened the first with a homer over the right field screen. Red Schoendienst followed with a double and the carnage was started.

Braves Batter Yanks For Big Two-Game Lead BULLETIN NEW YORK (UPI) — Bob Rush, a 32-year-old right-hand-er who never before has played to the World Series, today was named to start Saturday’s third game of the classic for the Milwaukee Braves against Don Larsen of the New York Yankees. NEW YORK (UPD-The once proud and mighty New York Yankees came back home today, wondering what had hit them in the World Series. They were two games down th the Milwaukee Braves in the darkest hours they have known in their tenure as baseball's greatest dynasty. They have been down that far before—but never under such humiliating circumstances. Manager Casey Stengel, who has become synonymous with success since he took over the helm of the Yankees — winning nine pennants in 10 years and seven World Series in eight tries—-had a offday to ponder about things today. ’’We ain’t hitting, we ain’t pitching, we ain’t playing ball,” he mused. “But let me tell you something else, we ain’t desperate.” Recalls '56 Series He recalled his club lost the first two games to the then Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 but went on to win the Series. “We still got some pitchers who ought to get them out,” he added, declaring that Don Larsen, the big right-hander who pitched the first perfect game in Series history against those Dodgers in 1956. would try to untrack his Yankees when the Series resumes in Yankee Stadium on Saturday — today being set aside for travel. Manager Fred Haney, feeling chipper with his 2-0 lead, wouldn’t say who he was going to start in the third game. “We play ’em one at a time,” he added, something he has been saying ever since he started managing in the major leagued. He wouldn’t even admit he had the Yankees on the run. but Stengel knew it after the 13-5 shellacking the Yankees took in The second game before a chterfig crowd of 46,367 in Milwaukee’s County Stadium Thursday. Leans Toward Rush Haney said he was toying with four possibilities as his third game starter —Bob Rush, Carlton Willey, Juan Pizarro and Ernie Johnson. “I won't know until we get through our w'orkout today,” he said. But he was reported leaning toward Rush, who won 10 and lost six, or Willey, a nine-game winner. Stengel ordered his Yankees —- who flew 'in from Milwaukee Thursday night as did the Braves —to work out at 11:30 a. in., e.d.t. at spacious Yankee Stadium. The Braves were scheduled to follow at 1 p. m. The third, fourth and fifth games—shqyld a fifth be necessary—are scheduled tor Yankee Stadium. If the Yankees stay alive, the sixth and seventh games arj> scheduled for Milwaukee on next Wednesday and Thursday, with Tuesday off tor travel. High School Football Hammond 56, Gary Tolleston 0. East Chicago Washington 33, Gary Froebel 19. Terre Haute Gerstmeyer 38, Linton 0, were impotent before Burdette except for Mantle's homer in the fourth. When it was over, Burdette had become the first pitcher ever to beat the Yankees four games in a row in Series play.

(UPD — Rearing flafmes of a brush fire burned through dust-dry coyer in the foothills above this city today, threatening scores of homes and forcing evacuation of hundreds of residents. Reports from fire officials of a half dozen communities massed .with their equipment in the area were conflicting, but it was reported at least five homes had been destroyed and possibly as many as 20.' Still unconfirmed was a report that “one firefighter and possibly four civilians” had died in the blaze. A small army of 1,000 firefighters fought the blaze through the night with 400 to 500 pieces of equipment massed on the fronts of the fire. Early today, the licking flames w’ere reported to have scorched I, acres over seven miles of foothills, ordinarily covered with dens#, dr* underbrush. Fire officials estimated 200 families were evacuated from their threatened homes in the northern section of the Monrovia - Duarte area about 20 miles east of Los Angeles. The flames broke out Thursday in a scorching hot southern California day which sent temperatures above 100 degrees in many areas and dropped the humidity level to the point of extreme danger. The fire was believed to have been started by two small boys playing with matches near the Mountain Air Sanitarium on Noruinbega Drive. A helicopter pilot who flew low over advancing flames was credited with blowing the fire away from a 25-men crew permitting them to escape from a pocket where they were momentarily trapped. Operators of two sanitariums in the area evacuated 120 patients as hot winds sweeping from California's great inland desert fanned the flames and made the firefighter's job even more rugged. Fence Damaged In One-Auto Accident Rawley D. Jones, 44, of rputc 2. Berne, escaped with minor bruises about noon today when he lost control of his car, which then ran into a ditch and through a fence three miles south and three and twothirds miles west of Berne. Eight to ten rods of fence and nosts on the Clarence Amstutz farm were damaged at an estimated cost if S6O. The farm is tenanted by the Tames ,E. Moser family. Damage to the Jones auto was estimated at 3150 by deputy sheriff Charles Arnold and state trooper Walter Schindler, who investigated.

Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International ' NEW YORK (UPl>— Two guys who never thought they’d make the World Series this year were praying today for a chance to start the third game on the hill for the front-running Milwaukee Braves. Manager Fred Haney refused to disclose his pitching choice as the Braves finished up a sweep of the two opening games in Milwaukee: He didn't want to “shake up" his choice for duty when the classic resumes at Yankee Stadium Saturday. But the two most logical candidates — Bob Rush and Carlton Willey—were more agitated merely waiting for Haney’s decision as to which of them it might be. Both Hopeful Each of them, the tall, scholarly Rush and the slightly built Willey, hoped fervently he would get the assignment. Their thoughts of Saturday overrode even their joy in victory during the celebration of the two wins over the Yankees. “It would be the top thrill of my career,” admitted the 32-year-old Rush, who talks as well as looks like a college professor. “A year ago I never dreamed I’d be in a spot where I might get a starting Series assignment.” That was because, just a year ago, Rush was with the lowly Chicago Cubs. But then the man from Battle Creek, Mich., “became extremely fortunate ’ and last winter was traded to the Braves. ■ Rush started the season in the regular rotation. Then he fell off and admits “I was disappointed in myself" as he compiled a 10-6 record the past season. Also Had Troubles The 27-year-old Willey, who looks like a farm boy and hails from Cherry field, Me., also looked forward to “my biggest thrill if he gets the starting nod. But, like Rush, he has his misgivings. “I was back at Wichita for a while and I thought my chances of being in the Series were a l *one,” he said. “Then, too. although I made it back to the Braves.-!- had-n lot of -trouble w my last couple of games. I was getting my curve ball too high and they were hitting it. but I worked hard in the bullpen and I feel I’m ready/’ So these tWO right-handers, friendly rivals at the moment, were waiting breathlessly today for Haney to make up his mind. Redlegs, Cardinals Make Player Trade NEW- YORK «UPD - The Cin■innati Redlegs traded first baseman George Crowe, forrher frank•Un Ind., high school basketball star, to the St. Louis Cardinals in j straight player deal involving six men. Crowe, Redleg first baseman, and infielder Alex Grammas and pitcher Alex Kellner were traded for outfielder Del Ennis, infielder Eddie Kasko and pitcher Bob Mabe.

Michigan State Plays Michigan In Top Battle United Press International The eyes of the Big Ten turned toward East L ansi ng, Mich., where highly-rated, Michigan State warmed up for its annual intrastate clash with arch-rival Michigan. Michigan State defensive coach Lou Agase admitted that his Spartans arc perfecting a special defense aimed at stopping the Wolverines’ charging 215-pound fullback John Herrnstein when the old foes meet Saturday at East Lansing. At Ann Arbor* Michigan Coach Bennie Oosterbaan said he would start the same lineup that nicked the University of Southern California, 20-19, last Saturday. Cats Seek 2 in Row At Lafayette, Ind., Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf named a 38-man travelling squad for Saturday night’s game with Rice Institute at Houston, Tex. Quarterback Ross Fichtner led the Boilermakers through an afternoon of offensive practice, with halfbacks Joe Kubaki and Clyde Washington and fullback Bob Jarus rounding out the Purdue backfield. At Evanston, 111., upstart Northwestern concentrated on pass defense as they awaited the arrival of the Stanford football squad. The Wildcats utilized a tight aerial defense last Saturday in upsetting another West Coast team, Washington State. 29-28, and hope the same tactics work Saturday against Stanford quarterback Dick Norman. Coach Ara Parseghian said Northwestern may be without the services of Co-Capt. W i Imer Fowler, the speedy halfback who suffered a leg injury last week. At Champaign, Illinois Coach Ray Eliot made several lastminute switches in his starting eleven before his Illini left for Durham, N.C., and Saturday's game with Duke. Eliot said Carl Johnson, Lockport, 111., and Gerry Patrick, Canton. Ohio, would start at right tackle and right guard, respectively, with Bruce Beckmann at right end *and sophomore Bill Brown at fullback. Hoosiers Drill Heavy At Madison, Wis., Coach Milt Bruhn gave his first three teams a heavy workout in preparation for Saturday’s game with Marquette at' Madison. The powerful Badgers are favored to whip Marquette in the annual intra - state game, with guard George Chryst the only Wisconsin injury. At Bloomington, Indiana Coach Phil Dickens shot the works as he drilled his charges on offense, defense and punt returns in rehearsal for the Hoosiers’ home opener Saturday against West Virginia. The only lineup change moved second-stringer Tom McDonald to the starting tailback position. At South Bend, Ind.. Notre
