Burdette Wins Second Os Year For Milwaukee By MILTON RICHMAN United ' Press International Lew Burdette says he’s shooting for the moon,.and don’t laugh, he’s liable to reach it quicker than all those guys monkeying aroynd at Cape Canaveral. Burdette, a sort of home-spun philosopher, launched what sounded like “moon talk” while sitting around the Milwaukee clubhouse during spring training a few weeks ago. “Me and my roomie, Warren Spahn, are aiming for a total of 50 victories between us this year.” he blandly announced without batting an eye. 7 At the time, Burdette’s statement smacked a lot like’ that of Dizzy Dean's, who proclaimed rather loudly in 1934 that “me and brother Paul will win 50 for the Cardinals this year.” Diz, with 30 victories that season, and Paul, with 19. wound up one game shy of the goal, but Burdette and Spahn could do it this year. Between them, they won 42 games last season and they already show a total of three this year. Yanks Lose First Burdette clicked for his second straight triumph Thursday when he pitched the unbeaten firstplace Braves to a 7-3 decision oyer the Phillies. He limited Philadelphia to six hits while collecting two of Milwaukee's 11 hits himself. Robin Roberts started for the Phils but the Braves clinched their fourth straight win with a four-run rally off loser Jack Meyer in the eighth. Eddie Mathews and Ed Bouchee hit homers. The Dodgers dealt the nose-diy-ing -Cardinals their fifth loss in six starts, 7-6, and the Cubs crushed the Giants. 11-3, in the only other National League games scheduled. In the American League, the Orioles handed the Yankees their first defeat of the campaign. 7-4; the Athletics defeated the White Sox, 6-0. and the Senators topped the Red Sox, 7-5. The first-place Indians were idle as were the ... last-place Tigers. - That trick left-field screen at Los Angeles CcAiseum got quite a workdtff’ J as-«rookie. Hem Fairto

: Canadiens In i 31 Lead For > Stanley Cup ’ TORONTO, Ont. (UPD—It looks like the Montreal Canadiens have ■ a record fourth straight ‘ Stanley I Cup “in the bag” as the result i of one of their typical scoring i bursts, but you couldn’t prove it • by the rival coaches today. The Canadiens virtually assured : themselves of Lord Stanley’s award Thursday night when they [, rallied for three goals within *six i minutes and two seconds during , the third period to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2. Montreal now leads the final best-of-seven round 3-1, in games. And the Canadiens have a chance to clinch it all in the fifth game of the series on their home ice Saturday night. If they flub that chance, they have two more—one at Toronto and another at Montreal. But Toe Blake, coach of the’ Canadiens, was playing it close to the vest today, saying only, “Os course, I’d like to win in Montreal—but this boy never makes predictions.” A better tipoff was the fact that George (Punch) Imlach, coach of the Leafs, was admitting for the •first time that Montreal might win—even though he still is predicting a Leafs’ victory. “Os course. 1 think we’ll win, or why would I be here?” he asked. “And if we win in Montreal Saturday, watch out.” That was the first time Imlach let that little word “if” sneak into his cocky predictions. Toronto didn’t go down Thursday night without a typical dramatic battle. After a scoreless deadlock in the first two periods, Billy Harris put the Leafs ahead 1-0 early in the third, and it looked as though they might hold it. But the habitants staged their bug splurge o go ahead, 3-1. The scorers were Ab McDonald, rookie Ralph Backstrom and Bernie Geoffrion, who finally found the rane after being shutout in the first three games. Frank Mahovtich.. revived the Leafs’ hopes with a goal at 18:36 as Imlach pulled goalie Johnny Bower in favor of six attackers. The rally came too late and the Canadiens, led by goalie Jacques . Plante; and defensemates Doug ► .Harvey--and Tom Johnson, protect- .; ecl the one-goal lead until the final buzzes. Palmer Is Leading Rich Houston Open HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD—Longhitting expert Arnold Palmer, whose power drives won him over $45,000 last year, led the field today into the second round of the rich Houston Classic invitational golf tournament. The rugged Ligonier, Pa., pro missed only two greens With his strong drives Thursday to card a six-under-par 66 to xop the 126 contestants in the $30,000 Classic. Palmer, who has a penchant for tinkering around with and changing his putters, only used one stroke to hole out seven of the first 18 holes, including a beautiful 18-footer on the 17th. “I was really putting better than I thought I would,” the 29-year-old Palmer said after the first round. The 7,200-yard Memorial Park course is ideally suited for his style of long, hard drives. Seven others, including Peter Thomson of Melbourne, Australia, who shot back to back eagles, and J.C. Goosie of Knoxville. J'enn., who carded the 13th hole-■i-tone of the 1959 tour, were Wujhched behind Palmer with 675. • Others in the group were Bob • Goetz, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Jay • Hebert, Sanford, Fla.; Cary Midd’lecoff, Memphis. Tenn.; Bill Casper Jr., Apple Valley, Calif., and Jim Turnesa of Emsford, N.Y.

Brian London f In Indianapolis For Title Bout INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPDFormer British Empire champ Brian London, holding the greatest chance of his life in his fists, today embarked on the concentrated training schedule he hopes will carry him to the heavyweight championship of the world in a title bout with champion Floyd Patterson. London planned to do seven or eight miles of roadwork and some light boxing with his younger brother, Jack, who will fight on the supporting card at the Coliseum. London, 24, announced shortly after his arrival Thursday from New York that he would work out even his first night in his training quarters at Muncipal Gardens, a city-owned recreation center. “This is the greatest chance of . my life,” he said. He said Patterson “must be” the best fighter he has met thus far, but said he believes he has a good chance to take the title from the champion. “I got my own ideas for the fight,” he said. “If I beat him, J upset the lot of them. He is tough, but I don’t think he is a Joe Louis or a Rocky Marciano. He is very fast, though.” London said he hopes to scale 205 for the fight* five pounds less than he now weighs. And regardless of the outcome, he said he planned several other fights in the United States. Should he beat Patterson, a return bout would take place. Officials said final contract papers will be signed within a few days, after Patterson arrives for the May 1 bout. “Patterson thinks this is a tuneup fight, but he may be surprised,” said London. Patterson also is scheduled to defend his title against Ingemar Johansson in New York July 25. Meanwhile, Patterson’s manager Cus D’Amato announced in New York that Bill Rosensohn, who will promote the Patterson-Johansson scrap, will help put on the fight here because Cecil Rhodes withdrew.

Today's Sport Parade (Keg. U.S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD—There was | a time, five years ago, when Bob Purkey of the Cincinnati Reds was a favorite subject for .the baseball limerick writers. It was about the extent of his usefulness. For as a pitcher he left much to be desired. There is one insane jingle about him which sticks in memory which went: “There was a young pitcher named Purkey, “Whose major league future was murky. “He was quick to admit, “I’m not worth two bits. “But I’m a heckuva lot better than Hetki.” Johnny Hetki was another pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in those days when the Bucs expected both of them to become some pumpkins. But after another year, the Pirates gaA? up, on Hetki and he since has drifted from the big league scene. Branch Rickey, one of baseball’s keener minds, would not give up on Purkey, however, and the Pirates waited, and waited, and then waited some more for him to mature. Homegrown Product But Purkey, a Pittsburgh boy, never could make it big somehow before the h me folks. He served his apprenticeship at Greenville, where he won 19, including a nohitter; at Davenport, where he captured 17, and then did three tricks at New Orleans which were interspersed by two years in the Army. In 1956 the Pirates counted heavily on him, but the handsome young man wrenched a knee and wound up optioned to Hollywood. He came back to the Pirates a third time in 1957 and, while he could beat Rickey’s old love, the Dodgers, he was strictly mediocre. When he finished the year with an unimpressive 11-14 mark they finally threw in the sponge and traded him to the Cincinnati Reds.

They say that Rickey is one of

the greatest all-time assessors of baseball talent. And the fact that he wasn’t dead wrong was proved at Cincinnati last year. The roundfaced Put-key finally hit his stride with a IT-11 mark which won him a berth on the All-Star team and caused him to emerge as one of the better pitchers of a rather ihadequate Cincinnati staff. This season he has taken overt as the Nd! 1 pitcher on the Reds’ staff. This may not be exactly a ticket to the Hall of Fame but at least has to be some belated satisfaction to the 28-y ear-old Pennsylvanian.
