Manager Bobby Bragan must
have thought he was back in
their home games here but a
Milwaukee court ordered the
Braves to play there.
Bob Richardson, attorney for
the Stadium Atuhority, said that
every team in the National
League is party to the case and
it is up to the authority to let
all teams know what i3 in the
court order.
McKenzie’s order compels the
other teams to come to Atlanta
for their scheduled games with
the Braves. Pittsburgh, Cincin
nati, Philadelphia, Houston and
New York have already been
served with the papers. Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago
and St. Louis will receive theirs
when they make their initial
season appearances here.
Steve Barber to the doctor
today and faces the possibility
of losing his ace southpaw for
at least 15 days.
Bauer revealed the necessity
of the trip Tuesday night after
the Orioles bad moved into sole
possession of first place in the
American League by shading
Chicago 3-2 in 12 Innings.
Baltimore bad been tied with
Cleveland for the lead, but
Detroit nipped the Indians 3-2.
Barber strained the tendon in
his left shoulder in a game
against the Indians last Satur
day. The 27-year-old fireballer,
who boasts a 2-0 record and a
1.99 earned run average, is
expected to be placed on the
disabled list for the 15-day
minimum.
Bauer is more concerned
about Barber’s pitching arm in
August and September than
about his availability now.
Bauer doe3 not want to risk a
more serious Injury for the
sake of winning a few more
games early in the campaign.
“We’re in first place by a
game now but there’s still a
long way to go," he said after
the victory. “I’m much more
worried about the long-range
pitching than one or two games
at this stage.”
Elsewhere in the junior
circuit, Washington stopped
California 4-1 on the three-hit
pitching of Pete Richert,
Kansas City edged Boston 3-2 in
10 innings and the New York at
Minnesota game was postponed
because of rain.
In file National League,
Cincinnati swept a pair from
Atlanta, 8-2 in the opener and 8

Angeles decisloned Philadelphia
6-1 and San Francisco nipped
Pittsburgh 2-1 in 15 innings.
Milwaukee Tuesday night when
greeted by boos on his fre
quent trips to the pitcher’s
mound during a doubleheader
with Cincinnati.
It wasn’t so much that the
Braves lost both games that
bothered the fane as the way
they lost them. The Reds took
the first game 8-2 behind the
combined three-hit pitching of
Jim Maloney and Dan Notte
bart and th e second 8-0 on
four-hitter by Milt Pappas.
The Braves used nine pitch
ers — well, really three twice
and three others. These gave
up 28 base hits and 10 walks,
hit a batter and had a wild
pitch.
Bragan didn’t want to add
fuel to the fire by commenting
on his reception.
Fans Disappointed
“They’re disappointed and so
am I,” he said. “But, believe
me, we’ll work this thing out.”
There are reports that some
of the bullpen crew is unhappy
about Bragan pulling his start
ers earlier than some felt he
should.
The Braves, who meet Cincin
nati here again tonight, were
In a dour mood after dropping
the doubleheader. It stretched
their losing streak to five
games and dropped them into
seventh place — seven games
behind the streaking San Fran
ciso Giants.
It was a different story in
the Reds' dressing room.
“After that terrible start
(4-13), suddenly, everything is
falling into place for us,” said
Reds manager Don Heffner.
"We couldn’t get our hitting
and pitching at th e same time.
Now, we’re getting both and
we’ve won six out of seven.’’
Delighted About Pitching
Heffner was still being a bit
cautious but he couldn’t conceal
his delight about the pitching
performances of Maloney and
Pappas.
Maloney, out two weeks with
a sore elbow, gave up two runs
on two hits in the first inning,
then allowed only one single
over the next six frames be
fore coming out.
“Jim was getting a bit tired,”
Heffner explained. “We didn’t
want to over-extend him his
first time back after that lay
off. I let him bat In the eighth
(he got his second hit) and then
sent in Nottebart.”
Pappas, Heffner pointed out,
was a different story. “He was
as strong in the ninth as he had
been in the first,” the Reds
manager said delightedly.

NEW YORK—(NEA)—On a playground in the Bronx; 10
kids are running up and down a concrete court, shooting at
baskets that don’t have nets.
The crowd outside the wire fences seldom changes. It’s a
mixture of young, admiring kids, chattering girl friends, hot
tired dog vendors; and a handful of older neighborhood people, re
or out of work.
But there are also the outsiders—the underground scouts
of basketball.
The kids on the court know they’re watching. The kids
have seen the same faces in high school gyms all over the city.
New York City is the easiest place in the United States for
a high school basketball player to obtain a college scholarship
—even if the player doesn’t have the grades for one of the
better academic institutions.
The kids know this to be fact. Their friends, relatives
