SPORTS FRONT

By PIUS CALLAGHAN

MILWAUKEE BRAVES' supporters are still shaking their heads and trying to figure out how their boys lost the 1958 world series after holding a 3:1 edge in games. A lot of these same supporters figure it just shouldn't have happened and they WLII give you some really good arguments to support their statement. We must say we haven't chatted with any Brave fan who passed off the series as pure Yankee luck. No sir. practically everyone we spoke to. thinks that the Braves beat themselves right out of the world championship.

THERE'S N0 DOUBT about It. these Milwaukee Braves surely froze up in the last three games. Their fielding .fell apart In games six a'nd seven and their hitting stopped right after game five (some say after game two). Of course, Yankee pit- ching was not supposed to be as good as it was. and the sur- prise of Larsen. Duren. Ditmar and Turley probably over- whelmed the. defending champs.

This fellow, Turley, has certainly proved he is made of real world series material. In 1956 he lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decis- lon to Brooklyn and Clem Labine 1n the sixth' game. Last year 'he got Yankees even with a brilliant performance in. the Sixth 'game. This October he blanked the Braves in. the fifth game. put out what might have been a real 'blaze' in the sixth and came on in relief in the seventh to hurl two-hit ball for 6 2-3 Innings. That kind of performance should prove Bullet Bob has what it takes to pitch in a world serim.

I

IT WOULD APPEAR to us. at least. that Casey Stcngel out- manged Fred Haney. The Milwaukee skipper has some pretty fair Iiuriers on his ball club but he seemed to want no make it a two-man show. Spahn and Burdette. Lets start right. here and acknowledge that both these gentlemen are terrific hurlers. :There's no argument on that score. But Haney expected them to win the world crown twice in a row without any help. That’s asking a bit too much we ' k. Braves went back home leading

3-2. All remaining games were right in their yard, before their own loyal fans. Willey, Pizzaro and Rush were ready to false on the Yankees in «that sixth game but Haney elected to go With 'his 37-year»old Iefthander, Spahn. who had only two days of rest. .Spalm was again brilliant 'but he ran up against Dtunar and Durcn in relid who were equally brilliant. The game went into extra innings and Spahn lou it.

MACDOUGALD OPENED the tenth with a homer. but Spahn

-managed to retire the next two batters. Howardstngled sharply and Berra did likewise. It was apparent Warren was losing his usual stuff. Moose Skowron strode to the plate and everybody -waited for Haney to make his move. It nevercame but a ring- 'lng single came from Skowron's bat and the Yankees led 4-2. The Braves got one back but they couldn‘t get another to match the one the Moose drove home. a It was pretty much the same story In the seventh game. ‘Burdette was breezing along in the eighth with the score at 2-2. fiOnly for Brave errors Iew would have been In front 24). He got .MacDougald and Mantle in quick order and seemed all but out ;.0f the inning. And then it happened.

_ BERRA DOUBLED and Elston Howard lost no time in sing- -Iing him home. Andy Carey then came throu with his first "world series hit for 1958 and Howard stopped at; second. Three

solid base hits in a row but not a move from Haney. Standim .It the plate. determined to put the game on ice was Skowron. ~ He caught hold of one and put it out of the park for a home run ; and Yankees led 6-2. Burdette then struck out Kubek to end the

‘ Inning. Burdcttc didn't appear for the ninth but the damage had

_ already been done.

\ SOME WILL ARGUE that Skowron‘s home run was nothing ‘mm‘e than icing on the cake. The Braves never ditd get a. third run. so Howard's single was all that was necessary to Win the world series. But they forgot that a pitcher working on a four run lead is not under anything like the same pressure as one that has only a one run margin. The Braves got two on m the last of the ninth and if Turley was only in from by a 3-2 score. then things might. have turned out just a bit differently.

And so it was that Haney's disregard for his other mounds- men exploded right in his face. The room mates Warren and Lew were going to win it all by themselves. just as they did in 1957. The Braves led 3-1 in games and who lost those final three-

You guessed it. Burdettc. Spahn and Burdette.

NEW YORK (APi—The Casey Stengel guessing game is on again. Will he quit as New York Yankee manager? Will he sign a new contract?

The New York Post's sport col- umnist Jimmy Cannon introduced a new element Friday when he said disscnsion has split the high command with Stengel on one (side and general manager George Weiss and co-owner Del Webb on the other.

"The chances are 5050 Casey Stengel will never put on a Yan- kee uniform again," wrote Can- non.

The print was hardly dry when the Yanks denied the story.

"The story is utterly ridiculous and not worthy of comment," said Bob Fishel. the Yanks' pub- licity director, who said he was speaking for both Stengel and Weiss.

“I doubt if there are two closer friends in baseball than Weiss and Stengel."

PRESS MEETING SET

“That's plain rubbish." said

Casey. “There‘s too much work

The Yanks will have a press conference with Stengctl on hand early next week.

The grizzled Yankee skitptper scored his finest trium 'Ilhurs- day when he led the club to the greatest baseball combeack in 33 years. Even Stengel called it a "truly amazing comeback" to up- end Milwaukee after trailing 3-1 in games at one stage in the 1958 world series.

Stengel is finishing out a twa- year c o n t r a c t. He reportedly draws about $75000 a year. He is independently w e a I t h y. own- ing several oil wells and is a di- rector of a Glendale Calif. bank.

According to Cannon's story, Stengel was reprimandbd by the front office when the Yanks slumped in the final months of the season after piling up a wide early lead. He said there has been disagreement because of Stengel's system of platooning players. This breach. Cannon said. was widened because Sten- gel got too much personal puo- licity that the front office thought should have gone to the organiza-

Mickey Maintle's grand - slam homer was the big blow as New York Yankees beat Brooklyn Dodgers 11 - 7 in the fifth game of the world series five years ago today. That gave the Yankees 8 lead of three games to two. and they wrapped it up the next day to become the first major league club in history to win five con- secutive world series.

Doubts II Further Action Necessary Against Horvctih

MONTREAL (OP) «— President Clarence Campbell of the Na- tional Hockey League said Fri- day he doubts if further action will be necessary against Bronco Horvath, who Went into a whirl- ing rampage in Thursday night‘s Bruins-Montreal Canadians game and got himself tossed out.

Referee Red Storey tagged the raging Bronco with a misconduct penalty in the first period and then added a game misconduct. That added up to $75 In automatic fines.

“I saw'thc game and had a verbal report from Storey after- ward." said Campbell. “I think a $75, fineis all I would do in any event and unless Storcy's official report shows something else I think no further action will be necessary.”

DOWN THE

BACK STRETCH

We are indebted to our friend. William A. Arnett of Summerside. hr dramdng our attention to a real penformauce by Bay State Pat, formerly owned by Andrew Perry of Summersidc. It will be remembered that Andrew bought him for the provenbial “song” and placed in the hands of James MacGregor. He won his local starts and cleaned the platter at Quebec City. then was sold for a long price by the popular Sum- merside restaurateur.

Well, Pat has been carrying his victory career along quite nicely since then, and at the end of 1957 was credited with $78,404 in win- ningsrlast year he won $38311. He is owned by Jacques Beau- dtoin, Montreal.

Now. getting back to his per- formance last Monday night at Richelieu Park. we quote from the Montreal Star: “Bay State Pat. a nine - year - old gelding. Montreal owned, swung through the mile in 2.02 1-6 at Richelieu Park last! night to win the first 316.0(1) leg of the featured Canada Pace. which has a total value of $48.11».

Tim- es for the quarters were: 29 1-5. 1.00 1-5. 1.32 1-6 and the mile in 2.02 16. The winner's share at the $16,000 purse was $8,000.”
