Milwaukee Sneers At Bushville Tag
Page 5
By United Press International
The two best left handed pitchers in baseball were matched for a World Series renewal tomorrow, with the "Country Hick" Milwaukee Braves out to prove that their victory over the "City Slicker" New York Yankees last year was no one-shot wonder.
There was plenty of joy in Milwaukee when the word came from Fred Haney of the Braves that he would lead off with his 22-game winner, Warren Spahn, the only southpaw who has won 20 games in nine seasons.
He'll face the iceman of the Yankees, Whitey Ford, when the two major league pennant winners square up at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Milwaukee.
That's the way it was last year too, and although Ford won, 3-1 the Braves came back to win the series in seven games.
This time the Braves and their fans, who don't regard the Yankees as highly as they did last year, figure that Spahn will do the trick. If he doesn't there's always Lew Burdette, who beat the Yankees three times in 1957, and who was chosen by Haney to start the second game on Thursday.
There was ample evidence that the Braves no longer feared the proud and mighty Yankees. The Braves and their followers laughed at the odds which made the New Yorkers 13-10 favorites to win the series.
Braves Laugh at Odds
But they weren't laughing at that "Bushville" label any more. They were sneering at it.
"We're on top now, let them knock us down, if they can," was the way shortstop Johnny Logan summed up the sentiment.
It was evidence of a different Milwaukee from the one which went into a fast burn a year ago when Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees allegedly termed them "Bush."
Then they were tight and jittery and Spahn, himself, admits it freely.
Yankees Second Best
But today the city—and the ball club—isn't afraid of those Yankees. For a change, they have the superior air. For now the Braves are world champions and the Yankees are interlopers who bear the onus of proving themselves.
A quiet crowd of about 150 gathered yesterday at the airport to watch the Yankees arrive.
"Do you still think this is Bushville?" Stengel was asked.
Casey walked away from the questioner, running his eyes over the small crowd—a far cry from the throng which crowded the railroad

Casev won't talk
Casey wouldn't say either who he would pitch in the second game. The betting was it it would be Bullet Bob Turley, or perhaps Don Larsen.
Hancy made it definite about Burdette, howeve, explaining that his decision to start Spahn over Lew was not influenced by Stengel's earlier decision that he would go with Ford.

"We did all right last year when Spahn started out for us, didn't we?" he asked.
He said he would wait until after today's workout before announcing his starting lineup. He wants to take another look at three of his cripples—outfielders Wes Covington and Billy Bruton and first baseman Frank Torre. All have assorted injuries, but are expected to be able to play.

Theta Chi Tops Lambda Chi 6-0
Theta Chi squeezed past Lambda Chi Alpha 6-0 in the only Fraternity A intramural football game yesterday. A 15-yard pass from Mike Hyland to Jim Coy was good for the only score.
In Independent A action, Battenfeld defeated Rochdale 13-7, in an overtime period. In case of a tie after regulation play is over, the two teams each get four downs to move the ball. The team making the most yardage in the four plays, wins the game. In the overtime, Battenfield moved the ball 40 yards while Rochdale could move the ball only 14 yards.
Two fraternity B games were won by forfeit to round out the intramural action. Triangle forfeited to Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Sigma forfeited to Acacia.
Floyd Eyes Big Record
Every time Homer Floyd returns a kickoff this season he'll be adding to his own school record. The Massillon, Ohio, co-captain reached 521 yards in 23 returns last year to displace Forrest Griffith.

Bowling Gains Popularity
A program of inter-collegiate bowling on a national scale might be a reality by 1959, Bascom Fearing, manager of the Jayhawk Bowl said recently.
It would be a face-to-face rolloff to determine the national champion in bowling. The suggested program calls for the Association of College Unions to sponsor regional tournaments in face-to-face competition. the winners would go to a college site or to the American Bowling Congress meet to roll for the national collegiate bowling championship.
Must Have Support
Fearing said the support would have to come from the unions and the recreational departments on the campuses and not from intercollegiate athletic departments.
At present the KU bowling team has air mail tournaments with distant schools. This year Fearing hopes to have face-to-face competition with Kansas State College and Oklahoma State University.
