(UP)--Lean Lew Burdette, coming out of the past to haunt the New York Yankees, hurled the Milwaukee Braves to a 4 to 2 triumph today which squared the World Series at one game each in a comedy of errors and insinuations. Burdette whipped his curve, his slider and his screwball past the Yankees for a seven hitter which sent little Bobbj Shantz down to a bitter defeat in a game marked by brush-back pitches and spitball charges-and made the Yankees sorry that they let Burdette go in a' dea which won one world championship and now could cost them another.
