Long-Frustrated Reds
Win National Pennant
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Reds si, Yankees no.”
That was the main theme as
the long-frustrated Cincinnati 'cit-
izenry celebrated the Reds’ first
National League pennant in 21
years with a rash of superlatives
for their heroes and ia deep bow
in the direction of Pittsburgh
pitcher Joe Gibbon.
The Reds beat the Chicago Cubs
6-3 in a day game Tuesday earn-
ing a tie for the NL flag, then
had to wait for Gibbon to get the
actual clinching job done by elim-
inating the second-place Los An-
geles Dodgers with a one-hitter.
That victory .an, 8-0 shutout aft-
er the Dodgers had remained in
contention with a 5-3 victory in
the first game of a twi-night dou-
bleheader, sent the Reds into the
World Series against the Ameri-
can League champion New York
Yankees.
The Yankees, who clinched their
5th pennant last week, had their
5wn reasons: to celebrate after a
3-2 victory over Baltimore in
which Roger Maris hit his 60th
home run and matched Babe
Ruth’s 1927 total.
To ace reliever Jim Brosnan
(10-3) went the honor of nailing
down Cincinnati’s long - awaited'
pennant. Brosnan set the Cubs

down on one hit over the linal
three innings. Jerry Lynch provid-
ed the winning runs with a two-
run homer in the eighth that
snapped a 3-3 tie.
The Reds’ long day started in
the first inning when Chicago
scored against starter Bob Pur-
key on Don Zimmer’s single, a
passed bail and George Altman’s
double. The Cubs added two in
the fifth when the Reds defense
collapsed following a two-out sin-
gle by Cub starter Bob Anderson.
Richie Ashburn’s roller went for
a hit when second' baseman Don
Blasingame failed to rush in, and
Don Zimmer was credited with a
hit when Gene Freese allowed his
tap down third to roll and the
ball stayed fair.
Ernie Banks then bounced to
shortstop Eddie Kasko but hs
throw to Blasngame for a force-
out was wide. Anderson scored
and the1 bases remained loaded.
Altman’s walk forced in the oth-
er run before Ithe side was re-
tired.
The Reds battled back. Field to
one hit over five innings, they
scored their first run in the fifth
on a leadoff homer by John Ed-
wards and put it a way when
Frank Robinson hit a twosrun
homer in the seventh off Ander-
son (7-10) and Lynch connected
in the eight.
At Pittsburgh, the Dodgers hung
on by winning the opener behind
Stan Williams (14-12) with a five-
run second inning outburst against
Bob Fried (14-19). Jim Gilliam’s
bases-loaded triple was the key
blow.
That was the Dodgers last
chance. Gibbon completely sub-
dued' them in the nightcap, allow-
ing only a leadoff sixth inning
pinch hit single by Bob Aspro-
monte.
The Pirates won it in trie third-,
chasing Don Drysdale (12-10) with
a five-run splurge after 'two were
out.
In the only .o‘her NL game,
Milwaukee beat St. Louis 9-2. Joe
Adcock’s three-run homer in the
first inning off Ray Sadecki (14-
10) gave Lew Burdette (18-10) a
cushion he never relinquished.
In other American League
games, Kansas City whipped De-
troit 8-5, Cleveland defeated Min-
nesota 7-3, Washington edged Los
Angeles 3-2, and Chicago and Bos-
ton split, the White Sox winning
the first 7-5 and the Red Sox tak-
ing the second by the same
score.

PRAYING MANTIS
HUNGRY INSECT
By AUBREY SHAW
Williamson County Game Warden__
Maris Hits
60th Homer;
Out lor 61st
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUGABOO . . , This time of
the year as in the past, we are
seeing many members of the in-
sect world making their way to
the bright lights of the cities and
to our homes.
Among them, and they seem to
be more plentiful, are Ithe
“praying” mantis. More common-
ly called devils stick horse or
walking cane, but they are ac-
tually the mantis.
Ask any insect, it would scoff
at man’s calling the dinosaur of
the insect world the praying man-
tis. In fact, it would probably in-
sist that the name be changed to
preying mantis. Such is the repu-
tation of the mantis in its own
environment.
The aweso'me little creature is
more popular with naturalists who
know it best. The naturalists say
it makes a most interesting pet
for anyone who mil keep it well
fed, no small task in itself.
The mantis, which belongs to
the same order (Orthoptera) as
grasshoppers, crickets, and cock-
roaches, has a rapacious ap-
petite. Moths, crickets, beetles,
flies, aphids, butterflies, bees, and
hornets all fall into the list of
delectable dishes for the pray-
ing mantis. Some have reported-
ly eaten small lizards and' frogs
as well. Hamburger and corned
beef can be used, to supplement
a pet mantis’ diet, but it will
grow better if it is provided with
live insects and spiders.
But life isn’t just a bowl of
insects for the tiny dinosaur. His
natural enemies are of formid-
able variety, including ants, birds,
small mammals, spiders and
man. To this list for the male
mantis, his mate’s name should
be added, for as in the case otf
the famed black widow, the fe-
male mantis usually turn's 'canni-
bal at the end of the mating sea-
son and eats her mate.
Although the mantis attacks on-
ly insects and spiders, it shows
remarkable courage when con-
fronted by man or small mam-
mals. The prehistoric-looking in-
sect refuses to back down against
such overwhelming odds, yet will
flee at the sight of an, ant. This
can be explained by 'the earliest
meeting between mantises and
and ants; the ants await the
hatching of the mantises with
eagerness and devour the mos
quite-sized insects the instant
they emerge from the egg case.
After the mantises bodies have
hardened, this danger is passed,
but the initial massaore often
takes the majority of the newly-
hatched'.
The egg case secreted by the
female in September or October
is really a curious engineering
feat. A sticky liquid comes from
the end of her abdomen and is
beat into a frothy meringue by
two appendages form her abdo-
men. This froth is attached to a
twig, weed or other object two
or three feet from the ground,
end the eggs are laid in the
loamy substance which hardens
to a protective covering about the
size of a walnut.
The female bangs upside-dwn
while producing the eggs case,
never watching what ishe is mak-
ing. yet shaping it with circular
and planting eggs within a cen-
tral chamber with care. The pro-
cess takes about two or three
hours.
When the eggs hatch in the
spring, each mantis looks like a
miniature adult without wings as
it struggles along a narrow corri-
dor from the inner chamber of the
egg sack to freedom. Males grow
long wings when mature; females
have short ones.
Its natural camouflage and its
ability to 'turn its head from side
to side and up and down, a char-
acteristic uncommon in, the insect
world, enables the praying man-
tis to trap enough prey to meet
its tremendous needs. The Indian
mantis has an added advantage
in 'stalking its food. Its under-
side is brilliantly colored to
match flowers on which it sits
waiting for its prey to come to
the flowers.
The word “mantis” means pro-
phet; “praying” was added be-
cause of the beseeching posi-
tion its forelegs and body as-
sume while it is waiting for food
to come within reach of its light-
ning-fast forelegs.

ly Press and save money.
Just another member of na-
tures wildlife, the mantis always
attacks the nerve center first to
still its victim’s struggle, after
each meal, the giant insect wash-
es its legs and face like a kitten.
He lives in a silent world of his
own.

Three Games
To be Staffed
Taylor Press staffers will cover
three local football games this
weekend.
Kenneth Bennighit will be in
Thrall to cover the Thrall-Hol-
land battle which will probably
be one of the best games of the
week.
Shorty Dobias will take a
short journey to Hutto to write-
up ithe Hutto-Kyle battle.
And Lin Mills will travel to
Rockdale to cover the Taylor-
Rcckdale game.
Roger Maris, who hit has 60th
homer Tuesday night as the New
York Yankees beat Baltimore 3-
2, has four games remaining in,
which to get the home run that
will make the most productive
one-season homer hammerer in
major league baseball history.
He’ll get his first shot at No.
61 today against the Orioles’ Steve
Barber (1-12). Then he fakes a
day off Thursday before resum-
ing his efforts to surpass Babe
Ruth’s 60-homer total of 1927 with
a three-game set against Boston
that closes out the 162-game sche-
dule.
The Cincinnati Reds became
the Yanks World Series opponents
clinching the National League pen-
nant by beating Chicago 6-3 while
Los Angeles was eliminated in the
second game of a twi-night dou-
bleheader against Pittsburgh.
No. 60 for Maris was a high
arching shot off a 2-2 pitch by
Baltimore right-hander Jack Fish-
er in the third inning. It came
four games too late to qualify for
an official tie with Ruth’s 34-year-
old record under the 154-decision
limit set by Commissioner Ford
Frick. The game was the Yanks
159th, including one tie.
After grounding a single to cen-
ter in the first inning, Maris
fouled off the first two pitches
by Fisher in the third, took two
balls, then fouled one into the
dirt before connecting with a
drive that shot into the upper
right field stands,, about three
feet fair.
“It’s the greatest thing that
has happened to me,” said Maris
after the game, “probably the
greatest thing that ever will
happen to me. Now that I’ve
got it, I’d like to get one more,
just one more.”
Maris’ homer was the Yanks
first run off Fisher (10-13), who
led 20 going into the third, but
lost the game on Johnny Blanch-
ard’s run-producing single in the
sixth and an error by outfielder
Jackie Brandt in the seventh that
let in the clincher following sin-
gles by Billy Gardner and Tom
Tresh. Reliever Rollie Sheldon
(10-5) was the winner.
In other AL games, Kansas Ci-
ty beat Detroit 8-5, Cleveland de-
feated Minnesota 7-3, Washington
nipped Los Angeles 3-2 and' Chi-
cago and Boston split. The White
Sox won the first 7-5.

ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Kaspar, Rt. 3, Taylor, will
