Dodgers Edge Braves In Playoff Opener; Series Shifts To Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The Dodgers, trying to make their third try a charm, called on sidewheeling Don Drysdale today in an effort to win the National League pennant and the right to meet the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. Now based here, after a lot of golden years at Brooklyn, the Dodgers were favored to break the jinx which has seen them lose two previous playoffs. They got off on the right foot Monday when they beat the Milwaukee Braves, 5-2. in the first game at Milwaukee. Drysdale, a strong-armed righthander, usually is more effective against the Braves than any other club, although his season’s record this year against Milwaukee is an even 3-3. So the Dodgers hope to close it out today,- and then fly to Chicago for the opening of the World Series Thursday. If a third game is necessary, in this best two out-of-three series, it will be played here Wednesday, delaying the start of the series until Friday. Hopes Were on Lew The Braves, who have been short-enders on the odds before this season, rested their hopes on Lew Burdette, their World Series hero of two years ago. They pointed out, too, hopefully, that they bad beaten the Dodgers six of the 11 games played this season in this vast football stadium. “We've been coming from behind all year long,” said Braves manager Fred Haney. “We might as well keep on doing it.”* The Dodgers had different ideas. "We’re on top,” Peewee Reese, one of the former Dodger greats and now one of their coaches, explained. “I have a hunch we’re going to stay there.” The Dodgers still were hailing catcher John Roseboro, whose sixth inning home run in the dusk at County Stadium in Milwaukee Monday, turned put to be the deciding run, and pitcher Larry Sherry. Sherry came on in relief of starter Danny McDevitt in the second toning when the Braves scored both their runs, and turned back the Braves on four hits from that point. He made Roseboro’s home run stand up. os Sac Through Rain There was only a small crowd of 18,297 and they sat through a steady rain and mist, that delayed the start for almost an hour. The Dodgers got the jump to the first inning when Charlie Neal singled, advanced to second and scored on Norm Larker’s stogie. But the Braves roared back in the second with an assault to route McDevitt. Johnny Logan walked, moved to second on Del Crandall’s stogie, and scored on Bruton’s stogie over second base. Sherry replaced McDevitt on the mound, but a bobble on Carleton Willey’s hot grounder loaded the bases. Bobby Avila slammed a grounder up the hole to Maury Wills, who forced Willey at second while Crandall scored to put the Braves to front, 2-1. . Los Angeles, however, squared the account in the third when

DODGERS DANCE FOR JOY—Los Angeles Dodger third baseman Jim Gilliam (left) and catcher John Roseboro appear to be prematurely dancing for joy as they collide in foul territory to an attempt to make a play on a pop foul off of the bat of Andy Pafko of the Milwaukee Braves in the third toning of their National League playoff game at Milwaukee. Both the play and the bailgame had a happy ending as Roseboro held on to the ball despite the collision and Los Angeles defeated the Braves, 3-to-2 on Roseboro's sixth toning home run to take the first of the three game series.

Wally Moon was safe on a fielder’s choice, advanced to second on Larker’s stogie and scored to tie it at 2-all on Gil Hodges hit to left field. That set the stage for Sherry, and Roseboro's game-w inning blast Minneapolis Evens Junior World Series MINNEAPOLIS (UPD — The Minneapolis Millers will send southpaw Tom Borland to the mound tonight to hopes of gaining a one-game edge in the Little.

Catcher Eddie Sadowski won the game with a ninth-inning bases-empty roundtripper. Roy Samlly led off, the homer barrage ,for Minneapolis with a two-run second-inning blast off Havana starter Miguel Cuellar.

More Work Is Done On Field Dugouts The Decatur high school baseball dugouts at Worthman field received a welcome boost Saturday when members of the Bricklayers Union, local 16, donated their time and skill, erecting the cement blocks for the shell of the pits.

Kansas City Drops Craft As Manager KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — The Kansas City Athletics today were looking for a new manager and the big question was; who is it going to be? The A’s Monday night announced that the contract of manager Harry Craft would not be renewed next year, but instead offered the 44-year-old ex-Ctncinnati outfielder a responsible position in their player development program. “I hope he decides to remain with the A’s,” General Manager Parke Carroll said. Carroll added that the club would not name a new manager until owner Arnold Johnson returns to Kansas City next month from Europe. Craft’s managerial future with the A’s had been up in the air since the club nose-dived in midseason and finished seventh for the second year in a row. "We decided we needed a change in managers,” Carroll said. "It would be unfair to blame one man for the slump this year. Actually it wasn’t a slump. It was a collapse.” Craft was severely criticized by fans here after the A’s lost 13 straight games late in the season.
