Braves Win Second Straight Game; Yankee Killer Lew Burdette Hurls

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2--Lou Burdette, still a hero, smashed a three-run homer to cap a seven-run first inning in the second game of the World Series here today. The home run led the Milwaukee Braves to a 13-5 victory and their second straight triumph over the New York Yankees.

Burdette's scoreless inning streak was snapped at 24, after the Yankees scored an unearned run in the first inning. Leading 13-2, he was rocked for three more runs in the ninth, when Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer hit back-to-back home runs.

In pitching his fourth straight complete game victory over the American League champions, Burdette allowed seven hits, struck out five, and walked one. He also retired 15 batters in order between the fourth and ninth innings.

When the final horrendous totals were calculated, it was discovered the Yanks had taken their worst beating in many years.

The Dodgers thumped them 13-8 in 1956 when the Yanks lost the first two and bounced back to win. The 1921 Giants also bombed them 13-5.

The seven-run clambake was the biggest first inning splurge in series history on a day that kept the writers thumbing through the record books.

Every one of the five Yankee pitchers took a heavy battering. Johnny Kucks and 42-year-old Murry Dickson escaped with the least damage, but they, too, were groggy.

At the start of this sunny afternoon the crowd of 46,367 got a real scare. Burdette, the invincible, had loaded the bases with nobody out in the first inning.

A single by Bauer, who now has hit safely in 16 series games, a wild throw by Eddie Mathews and an intentional pass to Mantle had loaded them up. When Elston Howard forced Mantle at second, Bauer came home to snap Burdette's streak.

Billy Bruton opened the Braves' half of the first with a 375-foot homer into the right field bleachers. Red Schoendienst then bounced a double past Bauer to the right field fence. After Turley managed to send a third strike past Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron worked him for a walk, and Wes Covington singled to center, scoring Schoendienst.

Duke Maas was called in to pitch and got Frank Torre on a fly to left. But he walked Del Crandall and Johnny Logan singled sharply to left, knocking in both Aaron and Covington for a 4-1 lead. Then came Burdette's home run.

Bucky Walters Also Hit One

Statisticians uncovered the news that it was the first homer by a pitcher since 1940, when hurler Bucky Walters hit one. It was the fifth such home run in world series history.

Another search of the record revealed the first inning had topped the old high of six runs, scored by the 1912 Giants against Boston. The high for any inning still is the ten scored by the Philadelphia A's against the Chicago Cubs in 1919.

The rest of the game was purely incidental. Mantle got his two homers, and Bauer got one.

Milwaukee kept pecking away whenever they saw anybody raise his arm and let loose a baseball. Kucks, who finally got them out in the first, yielded a run in the second on Matthew's double, his first series hit, and Covington's single
