It is the story of a town that took a baseball team to its heart and gave it such unwavering, al most overwhelming, affection that the ball club had to win a pennant or bust.

That's what the Milwaukee Braves have done today. They are the champions of the National League. And if ever a city de served a winner, it is 'Milwaukee. It took them four years to do it. But what a four years it was! DWrHmUi tmg fnturu 0ycMf Today's Sports Parade It was a cold, rainy March dayiSas City.

It dropped back to third in 1954, came in second in 1955 and 1956 and finally made it this year.

Shifts Set Off The Milwaukee story has changed the whole baseball picture. It was the first time a major league franchise had been switched since 1898, but it was followed uickly by the transfer of the St. Louis Browns to Baltimore and the Philadelphia Athletics to Kan- York's Giants moving to San Francisco and the Brooklyn Dodgers probably to Los Angeles. But none of them has, nor probably ever will, match this love affair between a town and a baseball team. Milwaukee was ripe for major league baseball.

The state has long been fine baseball territory with teams in every village and hamlet. Milwaukee had long been the home of the Brewers. There is little competition to baseball. There is no horse racing and few other major sports prosper. The city has few nightclubs and, until the advent of the Braves, most Milwaukceans were content to drink beer at home while they watched television.

Television? Well, it may be significant that not a single Braves game has cvern been televised in Milwaukee. The World Scries? That's diCfcrent. A city goes generosity wild, over Baseball.)

That was six years after Lincoln was shot. It was 82 years of playing in Boston. Omens Not Auspicious The railroad cars dripped as the train rolled into the station. Puddles soaked the red carpet and the omens were not auspicious for a team that had finished seventh the year before. The Braves expected a welcome in Milwaukee, but no one anticipated what was to come.

Fifteen thousand people jammed the dingy station. Other thousands lined the streets for blocks to cheer as the players rode toy in convertibles. In the next few days, the Braves found they couldn't get a taxi driver or a bellhop to take a tip. Haircuts were on the house. Fans accosted them on the streets and pounded their backs.

Beer flowed like well, in Milwaukee, like beer. When the season began it was every man for himself trying to get into the stands. So partisan was the home crowd that a Milwaukee player got an ovation for catching a pod fly. An opwsing olaycr met cold silence when he hit a home run. Biggest Money Loser Owner Lou Perini had established in Boston the year before the distinction of losing more money than any team had in the history of baseball around $600,000.

In the final year there his team had drawn 281,278 fans. In the first year in Milwaukee, the attendance was 1,826,397. And then the unbelievable happened. Without any material strengthening of the Boston club, the Milwaukee Braves won game after game. Weak hitters began shattering the fences, sore arm pitchers went for extra innings, strategy that had fizzled suddenly became brilliantly successful.

Perini and manager Fred Haney By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) This was 13 years ago when Buff Donelli was a hard-muscled, black-haired man coaching football at Duquesne. He walked into the elevator in a Pittsburgh hotel during the baseball All-Star game and, after exchanging greetings, said: "Come on out to the house and we'll talk football," We sat around his comfortable living room and finally Buff, in experation, said to his seven-year- old, Dick: "For the last time, pick up your toys and get ready for bed." Buff went into the kitchen and little Dick and the visitor scrambled around the living room floor picking up the toys. So it came as something of a surprise, and a sad commentary the passage of the years, when I visited a Columbia scrimmage today. Still Muscled Buff Donelli is still hard-mus-clcd as he coaches the Coumbia football team. Now, however, the hair is shot with gray and the man who was an All-America soccer and football player is wearing But he's still talking in exasperation to his son, Dick.

Only Dick, quite naturally, isn't seven years old any more. He's 20 now, a solid 18pounder who stands five feet. 11 inches. And he's Ruffa's number one quarter back this year. Buff didn't plan it so.

Nor would most coaches. It is a rarity when a coach handles his own son on the gridiron for many obvious reasons. Most of them like to see their sons play elsewhere and Buff, who was at Boston Univer sity when his son entered college. sent the boy to play under his old pal, Lou Little, at Columbia. Lou stepped down this year, however, and Buff was tapped for the job, one of the most demanding in football because Columbia gridiron fortunes in the last few vcars have plunged to great LOCAL GRID SCHEDULE SCHOLASTIC Thursday Night California at Rostra vcr Chartiers at Darlington Claysville at Hickory Friday Afternoon Bentleyville at West Beth Trinity at East Washington West Greene at South SiJe Beaver Friday Night Canonsburg at Munhall Avella at South Fayette Bridgeville at Cecil, Can.

Tickets cost $6 and are available at the Chamber of Commerce office, George Washington Hotel. McGraw began his long career as a driver, breeder and official at Mcadowlands Farm in 18.

In his more than 60 years in racing, he has earned a reputation for integrity, trouble shooting, innovations and improvements probably unequalled by any other man. He introduced mechanical starting 10 years before the invention of the mobile starting-gate, was the first to use the loudspeaker in following races, and introduced dashes and parading to the post.

Hank Aaron, the Braves' No. 1 candidate for most valuable player honors, again swung the big bat for the new NL champions. Aaron, whose two run llth-inning homer wrapped up the flag Monday night, hammered a grand-slam homer off Sam Jones in the first inning and from then on it was all downhill for Spahn. Williams Hits 38th Ted Williams hammered out his 3Sth homer of the year to give the Boston Red Sox a 2-1 victory over the Washington Senators. Williams grounded out in the first inning, however, and ended a string of 16 consecutive appearances at the plate in which he reached base safely.

He struck out and walked in his other two appearances to dip one point to .384.
