Over Milwaukee Official Tilt
By JOE REIcHlRR

BROOKLYN M - The Brooklyn
Dodgers snapped Milwaukee's 10.
game winning streak with 4 n
rain-soaked victory last night. but
!. was not until today that q ruling
by League President Warren Giles
made 1t official.
Sound confusing? Well, that's the
way things happen at Ebbets Field.
Here are the weird details:
The game started Is minutes
late because Of rain. The Braves
scored q quick run off Billy Loes
on Joe Adcock's first-inning home
run, his 23rd Of the season and his
ninth at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers
roared back with two runs in their
half Of the first to drive Lew Bur-
dette OFF the mound. Pee Wee
Reese's double, Gil Hodges triple
and Sandy Amoros' single produced
the runs.
Rain called q 6s-minute halt with
the Dodgers at bat in the fourth.
With the Dodgers ut bat in the
9Th and with two on and none out,
the rain came down harder than
ever and again the game had to be
halted. The time was now 1o:S3
pm. (EDT).
An hour and II minutes later, At
1850 am. with the rain showing
no signs Of letting up, Umpire-in-
Chief Larry Goetz announced the
game was of.
He declined 10 call it an official
game because by now the clubs
had run into the curfew law which
states that no inning Of any game
can start after 1880 4. m.
That's when the confusion start

IA innings are played with the
home team ahead. A game halted
by curfew, however, under Nation

at q later date.
Asked whether this was IN OH
cial game, Goetz said:
"I don't know. III have 10 tall
to the boss (Giles)."
e. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi, vice
president Of the Dodgers, immedi-
ately announced he would lodge IN
official protest il Giles decision
was anything but Dodger victory.
Reached at his home in Cincin,
natl Giles first said he would pci
make his decision until Saturday
morning. Pressed for an immedi-
ate decision by Bavasi, Giles con,

his decision shortly after 2 s.m.

but II cannot and should not be

Giles based his ruling on the fact
that it was rain, rather than the
curfew, that caused the hating Of
the game.

BraUes' String
Is Snapped At
10 Games By
The Dodgers
BY BEN PHLEcAR
Associated Press Sports Writer


Hurricane Edna is one big wind
that should fan a lot of fires around
the Hot Stove League this winter.
This freak of nature, roaring UP
the Atlantic Coast, has thrown the
National League pennant race into
a turmoil. Nobody will be able 20
tell until after the season ends Just
how the storm affected the out
come. But right now it looks def
nitely as if Edna's gales will help
decide which way the pennant will
blow.
The deciding point in the race
may well turn out to be last night
rain and mud-soaked contest in
Brooklyn. The Dodgers beat Mil
waukee FL during an evening in
which the players spent hour and
n minutes on the field and hours
and n minutes waiting in the dug
out for the rain to quit.
For the records the teams PLAYED
IA innings and Brooklyn had two
men on base in the last of the fifth
with none out when 4 halt was
called for the second time. A pre-
vious delay in the fourth lasted
more than an hour.
The players fumed and fretted
and the umpires waited. The 1880
am. curfew came. No further play
would have been possible even if
the weather had been perfect.
But Umpire-in-C Chief Larry Goetz
put the decision up to League
President Warren Giles in Cincin-
natl. Should it be a legal game.
ended by rain, or a suspended
game to be finished today?
Giles pondered well into the
early hours. 1t was 2:07 am. in
Brooklyn before the Dodgers
learned officially that they had
snapped the Braves 10-game win
ming streak.
The decision meant a lot to both
clubs since the first-place New
York Giants had lost, 81, to Gin
cinnati in day game. The loss
left Milwaukee four behind, the
Dodgers 415 back.
Chicago lost its last mathemati-
cal chance in the American League
by bowling to New York So. Cleve-
land won No. 1O1, a "a triumph
over Boston and held its Stk game
margin over the Yankees.
In other action Baltimore edged
Washington 4-3, Philadelphia beat
Detroit 6-5 and Pittsburgh shaded
St. Louis 81, all three games being
decided in the ninth inning.
The rains that preceded Edna up
the coast washed out Chicago at
Philadelphia in the National
League.
Billy Loes held the Braves to one
hit-Joe Adcock's home run-in
five innings at Brooklyn. Inc .mo
Dodger runs came in the first on a
double by Pee Wee Reese, a triple
by Gil Hodges and Sandy Amoros'
single.
The Redlegs won their first game
in the Polo Grounds this season
with the help of four passed balls
in one inning by New York catcher
Ray Kat, a National League rec
ord. They also combed six Giant
pitchers for nine timely hits while
Art Fowler scattered a like num-

Thousands See
Football Clinic
At NesU Stadium,
BY JIM COBB
Citizen Sports Editer

~ may nave Decn the new
ness Of their surroundings
or the fact that they were
appearing before a crowd
for the first time this sea-
son, but the Key West high
school football team didn't
show much in q 20 minute
game scrimmage last night.
The head knocking was q fea-
ture Of the Miami Herald's football
clinic held In the new stadium on
18th Street. Thousands Of Key West
grid fans turned out and were
treated to an entertaining and hign-
" Informative rundown on the lat
est developments in gridiron stra-
tegy as well a. brush-up on fun
damentals.
But the scrimmage was the real
reason fans showed up at the ball
park. And at It's conclusion, II was
readily apparent that the Conchs
win have to squeeze q lot Of work
into the three drill sessions re-
naming before they make their
first start against st. Teresa next
Friday evening.
Coach Ed Beckman divided his
squad into the Reds and the Whites.
NORMALLY, the Reds won the alb
breviated ballgame, so, but they
were aided considerably by a rash
Of offside penalties that set up their
score.
Most apparent point brought out
In last nights tussle, was the
Conch's very apparent lack Of re-
serve strength - q factor which
may have great bearing on whe-
Their or not the Red and White has
Z winning season this year.
Coach Ed Beckman, II appears,
has from between Is to Is ball
players with enough game expert
ence to be Of value In early sea-
son clashes. He had considerable
difficulty mastering enough talent
to put together two evenly match
ed squads last night.
It wasn't all darkness, mind you,
there were . few bright spots -
like the performances of the Conch's
well-drilled and capable line and
the risky running Of Red Stickney
and Bill Haney.
Haney also showed that he can
nip those passes with accuracy.
Last nights tilt was fought al
most entirely In White territory.
They lost the ballgame after they
had punted out Of trouble to the
- yard line and q series of penal
ties set them back. to their 30.
Paul Riggs, youngster up from
the Barefoot League who shows
plenty Of promise, scooted around
end for n yards and Stickney went
over standing up three plays later
for the only score Of the evening.
White guard Ray Bazo broke
through to block the kick for the
extra point.
Another bright spot in last nights
tilt was the running Of Julio San
tana, 4 lad heretofore known for
his baseball shortstopping. Out for
the team for the first time, San
tana Ii q natural runner. He pick
cd up seven yards against the
beefy Red line on as neat a re-
verse Is the Conchs have ever ex-
ecuted.
Joe Russo, always q thorn in the
side Of the offense, was in on more
than his share Of tackles - q sit
uation which characterized his
playing In the IS season.
Coach Ed Beckman summed the
scrimmage up this way: Better
we make our mistakes now than in
. game"
