Warren Spahn's illness probably will force Manager Fred Haney to call on Lew Burdette, already a two-time winner, to pitch for the Braves. The fidgety right-hander who shut out the Yankees 1-0 Monday at Milwaukee will be working with only two days rest...
...always a chance that Aaron's bat (TIME, July 29) might fail to work its familiar miracles. Second Baseman Red Schoendienst, the old pro who had carried them through the stretch (TIME, Sept. 2), could be counted on for a steady series, and most of Manager Fred Haney's other regulars were providentially free of injuries. But the bulk of the Braves' pitching staff are fireballers, and the Yankees eat such operators alive. There is one Brave, though, whose talent could make the difference. If the Braves were to upset the Yankees, they would need the best...
Freckle-Fisted Winner. So the Braves won. They hung on in the National League pennant scramble even after First Baseman Joe Adcock broke his leg, and Outfielder Bill Bruton and Shortstop Johnny Logan limped over to join him on the sidelines. Somehow Manager Fred Haney kept on fielding a team. (At one time his outfield consisted of Catcher Del Crandall, Utility First Baseman Nippy Jones and Bonus Baby John DeMerit.) And somehow the Braves kept winning, put together a ten-game winning streak that knocked the St. Louis Cardinals out of the lead and broke up the fight...
Veteran Braves like Hank Aaron (now leading the league with 37 home runs and 102 runs batted in) and Pitcher Warren Spahn have found their old winning form.

At week's end the fast-finishing schedule left the Braves a comfortable 7½ games ahead of their only competitors, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers...
...three teammates have only two minutes to supply the words. Stokey has speeded up the game with the invention of 32 timesaving hand signals (for the six "basic" signals, see panel), and years of competition have given to some of his players-Jackie Coogan, Hans Conried, Dorothy Hart, Carol Haney, the late Judy Tyler-an almost telepathic quickness. Sponsors (currently: LIFE, Amoco and Hamm's Beer) like the show because it is economical ($10,000 a week) and usually bags a respectable rating. Actors like the show, despite a meager $250 stipend, because it requires no preparation...
