Milwaukee has too much pitching depth for the rest of the league, with Warren Spahn, Lew Burdette, Ray Crone, and Bob Buhl as starters. Ernie Johnson, Gene Conley, Taylor Phillips, et. al. give the Braves strong second-line pitching as well. With Joe Adcock, Henry Aaron and Eddie Matthews to carry the offensive burden, in addition to about the best defense in the league, the Braves bear a "Can't Miss" label...
While the authorities were busy hopping on Hoak, the Braves and Redlegs were chewing up another old rhubarb: Does Milwaukee Pitcher Lew Burdette throw a spitball? Even Burdette does not deny that he wets his fingers while he fidgets on the mound. But when Cincinnati's Manager Birdie Tebbetts accused him of serving up a spitball, Burdette put on a look of innocence. A spitter? Not he.

They breezed by the worst U.S. team in years, got no real opposition from Pennsylvania's Vic Seixas or California's Herb Flam, had only momentary trouble with an up-and-coming Texan named Sam Giammalva. With the big silver punch bowl lost to the Aussies for the second successive year, wishful-thinking U.S. fans salvaged some consolation from Giammalva's performance and the fact that Ken Rosewall decided right...
