aves Rally for 3 Runs in 8th to Beat Cards 4- Burdette Goes Route ior 1st Win of Season Three Hits, Error by Red Schoendienst Produces Victory ST. LOUIS (AP)-The Milwaukee Braves came from behind with a three-nin rally in the eighth inning Tuesday night- aided by a crucial throwing error by Red beat tho St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 in a National League baseball game that saw veteran Lew Burdette win his first game of the year. Bu 11 yielded six hits, walked two and struck out three in going the distance to give him a 1-0 record for the young season. The victory gave the Braves a 4-4 record for the year and they now trail the leading San Francisco Giants by games.

Simmons Is Stingy Three hits and Schoendienst's error, gave Milwaukee the three runs that brought victory. The runs gave the Braves a 4 -2 lead that was whittled to 4-3 in the ninth inning when Stan Musial hit his second home run of the year. Curt Simmons, the Cardinal starter and loser, held the Braves to one run on six hits before he gave way to Lindy McDaniel with two men on base and none out in the eighth. Boiling, Mathews Single Frank Boiling and Eddie Mathews started off the inning with singles. Henry Aaron then prompt ly greeted McDaniel with a base hit that scored Boiling, Mathews stopping at second.

Mel Roach lifted a long fly to center that enabled Mathews and Aaron to advance a base each. Al Spangler was intentionally passed to load the basses. Lee Maye, batting for John De Merit, hit a high hopper toward right which the former Braves second baseman Schoendienst could just barely reach. After making a great stop Red threw the ball into left attempting to force Spangler. Mathews and Aaron both scored.

Fans Covington Simmons pitched his way out of a jam in the first inning by striking out Wes Covington with the bases loaded. Hits by Mathews Aaron and Roach brought in a run for the Braves in the sixth. St. Louis got to Burdette for their two runs in the fourth on a walks to Joe Cunningham and hits by Bill White and Ken Boyer and an infield out by Musial.

Giants Defeat Dodgers to Move Into 1st Place By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thtf San Francisco Giants no longer have the three Willies with the bat, but they've moved into first place in the National League race with three McCovey and Mays.

With Stu Miller's relief pitching breaking up a rally, Willie McCovey driving in two runs and Willie Mays cutting down a run at the plate with a double play peg, the Giants replaced Los Angeles in first by trimming the Dodgers 3-1 Tu'esday night. Milwaukee came from behind for a 4-3 victory over St. Louis in the only other game played in the NL. The Philadelphia at Pittsburgh and Cincinnati at Chicago games were rained out. McCovey Homers The Dodgers, after winning three in a row, ran into quick Lift Probation Against Auburn WASHINGTON (AP) The council of the National Collegiate Athletic Association today is expected to end probation and permit Auburn University once again to take part in NCAA-sponsored championships and bowl games.

A top NCAA source said the decision would come when the council acted on a report by the committee on infractions, which has been reviewing the athletic "policies and practices" of the Alabama school. The council ends a three-day meeting today. Auburn has been on probation for player recruiting rule violations since 1956, It is the longest penalty handed any NCAA member since 1952, when the NCAA began enforcement of its code on recruiting of athletes. The council Tuesday banned organized summer basketball competition. Players taking part in such summer basketball could not play college basketball under the proposal by the NCAA council.

Most organized summer basketball is played either in the Los Angeles area or in the Eastern United States. New York's Catskill Mountain resorts, the so- called "Borscht Circuit," is a hotbed of summer basketball. NCAA Executive Secretary Walter Byers said the council refused to delay by one year a new ban on participation of high school football players in all-star football games. The 1961 NCAA convention adapted the new rule. Some promoters of all-star games had asked that it be eased for some games this year.

trouble against the Giants, who hold a .012 percentage point edge after winning the opener of a two- gam? series at Los Angeles, Chuck Hiller opened with a single off Dodger ace Don Drysdale (2-2) and scored on a single by McCovey, The Giants' first baseman then tagged a fourth- inning solo homer for the decisive run. Right-hander Jack Sanford won his first and had the Dodgers on a string for six innings, allowing just two hits. In the seventh, Junior Gilliam drew one of Sanford's six walks and scored on singles by Maury Wills and Charlie Neal. That's when Miller hustled in for a perfect, three- inning relief job. Moon Is Hitless Miller first retired Tommy Davis on a foul pop and then got Wally Moon on a liner to Mays in center.

Willie's rifle shot to catcher Tom Haller nailed Wills trying to score. Moon, the Dodgers' hero with a NL record-tying total of eight home runs for April, was hitless for the first time in 14 games this season. Rain and Cold Stop Cubs, Sox CHICAGO (AP)-Rain and cold weather slopped both the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox Tuesday when both teams happened to be home at the same time. The Cubs and Cincinnati game was called off as was the contest between the White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels. The White Sox are idle today and open a three-game series at Kansas City Thursday night.

The Cubs will fry, weather permitting, to engage the Cincinnati Redlegs today. Cincinnati will send Jim O'Toole (1-2) against Cub Glen Hobbie (1 1) today. Both Chicago teams are struggling to reach the .500 mark in their respective leagues. The Cubs are much better shape than expected while the Sox have a 4-5 mark and remain four games behind the league leading Detroit Tigers. Main worry, however, for the Sox are the New York Yankees who are three games off the pace and one game ahead of the White Sox.

Baltimore, Off to Poor Start, Begins to Move TIME OUTI "Third homer today for the kid Them big league scouts sure want to sign him up!" By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It begins to look as though the stumbling Baltimore Orioles finally may be on the move in the American League race. They now have won three of their last four decisions, after losing five of the first six. A year ago, the baby Birds also blew five of their first six games, then clicked off five straight and began to roil toward their near- miss, second-place finish. Steve Barber, who contributed 10 victories to the Birds' surge last season as a rookie, put away his second victory in a 5-2 decision over the Cleveland Indians Tuesday night. A's Thump Twins The Kansas City A's rolled up their third highest run total ever in a 20-2 romp over the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox whipped the Washington Senators 6-1 in the only other games played in the AL.

New York at Detroit and Los Angeles at Chicago were rained out. Barber, 22, left-hander, blanked the Indians without a hit until the sixth inning when Johnny Temple extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a one-out then needed ninth-inning relief help from Hoyt Wilhelm. The Tribe, winding up with five hits off Barber, had two men on base when Wilhelm struck out Jimmy Piersall on three pitches for the final out. Jim Gentile drove in three Baltimore runs, two with a first-in ning homer, and Jerry Adair got the other two with a double and a single. Gary Bell, the young Cleveland right-hander who had arm trouble last season, lost his third of the year and sixth in a row since last July.

The A's rapped seven Minnesota pitchers for 16 of them for extra also collected 10 walks. They scored six runs in the third off loser Ted Sadowski, then ran off with eight runs in the sixth, all charged to Paul Giel in one-third of an inning. Sullivan Drives in 5 Haywood Sullivan hit 2 triples, a double and a single and drove in five runs for the A's. Norm Bass, 22, was the winner in his first major league start. The right-hander gave up seven hits and walked nine.

Right-hander Gene Conley, making a belated start after helping the Boston Celtics win the pro basketball title, was a winner in his first AL game with the Red Sox. The tall right-hander, acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, shut out the Senators on five hits for eight frames, then needed relief by Mike Fornieles. Pete Burnside was the loser. 3 State Golfers Lose in Tourney PINEHURST, N.C. (AP)-Three Wisconsin golfers who had qualified for match play in the 61st North and South amateur golf tournament were eliminated in the first round Tuesday.

Tracy Allen of Madison was ousted by Dr. Ed Updegraff of Tucson, 2 down. Col. John Kline, Westover Air Force Base, defeated Richard Sucher, Milwaukee, 2 and and Glenn Johnson, Grosseville, beat John Jennings, Milwaukee, 4 and 3. Detroit Tigers Have Gained Most in Pre-Season Player Swapping NEW YORK (AP)-On the basis of early returns, the Detroit Tigers appear to have been the most successful in their various off-season player maneuvers.

The Tigers, off to a blazing start with eight in a row after dropping their first game, came out of winter deals with Milwaukee and others with a first-string catcher in Dick Brown, a regular center fielder in Billy Bruton and two capable relief pitchers in Terry Fox and Jim Donohue. To fill the gap left by the departure of Frank Boiling, the Tigers moved up Jake Wood, 23, a widely heralded rookie from their Denver farm. Wood is hitting .286 and has turned out to be a good leadoff man. Boros Hitting .333 With Bruton hitting in the No. 2 hole and Steve Boros, another rookie, playing third base and hitting .333, the new faces are paying off in Tiger Stadium.

Chuck Cottier, also acquired from the Braves, is a capable infield reserve behind Cliico Fernandez. Perhaps the most important of all was ihe acquisition of Brown, former Chicago White Sox and Cleveland catcher who went to Milwaukee in December and then wac thrown into the Belling deal in Chicago last year but is hitting .321 at Detroit. Strengthens Bullpen Bullpen pitching was a real problem for Detroit before they picked up Fox and Donohue. Fox, a 12-game winner at Vancouver, has a record and has appeared in three Tiger games. Donohue also has a 1-0 record after three appearances.

The Tigers grabbed Donohue from the Los Angeles Dodger organization in the regular minor league draft for $25,000. He had a 5-5 record in St. Paul last year. The San Francisco-Cleveland deal has not paid any spectacular dividends for either side yet. Johnny Antonelli has an O-I rec- Freese isn't hitting.

He has no homers is under .200 at third base for the Reds. Jay is 0-2 but it isn't all his fault. He lost 4-0 and 1-0. McMillan is batting .259 for the Braves and playing short. Pizarro has been no more than a seldom-used man for the White Sox but McLish, trying to come back after a bad year at Cincinnati, is l-I with a complete game victory over Washington.

Louis Cardinal game Tuesday night: The Cardinals continued to complain that Lew Burdette was throwing a spitball at them al! night. "He was throwing 'em (the spit- tcrs from the first inning on," Cardinal Manager Solly Hemus complained after the game.

Elm Grove Man Wins Abbreviated Bowling Tourney CHICAGO (AP)-Gilbert Fangman of Elm Grove, has been declared the winner of the Hochstadter Bowling Tournament, cut short when a fire damaged the Cascade Bowling Center last Sunday, Fangman had a score of 1,689. The original first prize was listed as $5,000, but the tournament sponsor, Mrs. Bee Hochstadter, said Tuesday it would be proportioned. Fangman estimated he would receive about $4,500. The tournament opened Feb.

4 with an official field of 3,936. Of that number only 1,152 bowlers participated. Mrs. Hochstadter said the $25 entry fees would be returned to those who didn't get a chance to roll. The tournament was to have run through June 4.

The fire caused damage of $80,000. Pacje 18 DAILY GAZETTB WEDNESDAY. APRIL INl LAND OF BLACKHAWK The woods are turning green. Leaves of gooseberry almost hide the gray bark of twigs. Grass is poking up between the dry leaves, dandelions are in bloom, and fronds of fern are unfolding from a bud resembling a green mushroom.

On some wooded hillsides, the dainty blue blossoms of hepatica cover patches like a soft carpet. In the fields farmers are sowing oats, and the annual planting season is under way. While driving along a country lane in a wooded area our daughter, Kathleen, told us to stop. "There's a woodcock right beside the road," she pointed. "Back up a little-see it?" We backed up slowly to the but couldn't see the bird at first because its plumage blended so perfectly with the brownish leaves on the woods' floor.

The bird has so much confidence in its camouflaged plumage, it never moved, even after we approached within arm's length with a camera. She was incubating four brown speckled eggs. This woodcock was incubating her eggs on April 19, which means that she had at least one egg in her nest on April 16 and two eggs on April 17 when there was several inches of snow on the ground. About five years ago we found a woodcock covered with snow while she was incubating a clutch of eggs. Only her tail feathers, head and big black eyes were visible.

The other day. Prof. Herbert Hadow, Milton, joined us to take some close-up color pistures of the nesting woodcock. Hadow started photographing with telephoto lens, and gradually stalked closer and closer. We talked freely to put the Woodcock Nesting bird at ease while she crouched almost frozen, depending on her camouflage for protection.

Moving slowly on hands and knees, we talked so she became familiar with our presence, and eventually she permitted us to approach close enough to touch her. After she left the nest, we also photographed the eggs. Even the eggs blended so perfectly with the leaves, it was almost impossible to locate them after we left the spot for a few minutes and returned. Said Hadow, "It gives one sort of a spiritual lift when a wild bird has trust in you even if only for a brief association." If you have never seen the courtship flight of the male woodcock you have missed one of nature's spectacular shows. The spring mating "dance" is a series of aerial acrobatics, climated by a power dive to the same spot of ground from which he started.

Woodcock are devoted parents. Even the male helps to incubate the eggs during the 21-day incubation period. After the downy young hatch they leave the nest as soon as they are dry, and the parents care for them until full grown. They eat earthworms, grubs, beetles and other insects.
