Braves Tighten National Race With Brooklyn NEW YORK (INS) —There's no pan|c in Brooklyn bedausfe it couldn't happen in a million years like it happened in 1951. Or could The 1955 Dodgers Just don't blow pennants like they used to .If they do, the Bums better find d new home. After all, Brooklyn cun take so much. While the American Eegaue thipg remains on its "normal" path with the, Yankees .615, White Sox .613, Indians and Red Sox engaged tn an adrenalin fling at the flag, the Babbling Brooks find themselves in a race of their’ Own. The Milwaukee Braves apparently are still in business and still hoping for that “miracle.” It may take just one of those miracles to do it, but the Braves are now ll games oft the pace, closest they've been since July 14. It’s still a tremendous lead and time is an added Brooklyn weapon but that the Bums are wobbling a great deal and the Braves are getting on the ball was demonstrated again Sunday. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Dodgers, 6 to 4, to sweep a three game series. It was the ninth loss for the Dodgers in their last 13 games. The Braves made it five straight wins by blasting the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 1. The Dodgers have 34 more games to play and Milwaukee, trailing by 13 in the "lost” column, has only 30, so who's afraid in Brooklyn? Bob Buhl won his 13th game for the Braves and seventh in his last eight games. The righthander gave up seven hRs. He earned run average is a nifty 2.85, second only to Robin Roberts in the league. Andy Pafko and Bobby Thomson each contributed three hits to Milwaukee’s 13 hft attack on five Chicago hurlers. Thomson drove in three runs with a double in the third inning and Pafko collected a triple and two<singles. The Cubs have lost seven of their last eight starts. Cincinnati rookie Lefty Don Gross tossed a four hitter against the Cardinals. Wally Post drove in three runs with bis 31st homer and a single. The victory gave the Redlegs a three game sweep over the Redbirds. Orioles continued to be pigeons for the Yankees. The Bombers used homers by Bill Skowron. Hank Bauer and Mickey Mantle No. 32 to belt the last place Birds, 6 to 1. This gave the Stengelmen the three game set and made it 18 wins in 20 tries against Paul Richard< hapless team. Ex Yank Ed Lopat was the victim and ex Oriole Don Larsen the star. Larsen, recalled from the Yankee Denver farm on July 31, won his fifth straight game and bis fourth complete contest with a six hitter. The Chisox moved within a half game-and two percentage points •of the Yankees by sweeping the Tigers, 2 to 0 and 8 to 2. Chicago now has won nine out of 11. Connie Johnson rationed the Bengals to four singles in the opener i and Minnie Minoso homered off loser Billy Hoeft. Minoso also got three singles and a triple in the > nightcap and had a total of six i hits in nine trips for the day. White Sox pennant hopes zoom- • ed when Dick Donovan, sidelined since he had his appendix removed on July 31, returned to win his ■ 14th game in the afterpiece. Walt ; Dropo contributed his 17th homer I and a double to the 15 hit attack I in support of the 27 year old right hander. i The Cleveland Indians downed the Kansas City Athletics, 9 to 4, ' and the Tribe bullpen stole the i spotlight again.

winner and Sal Majlle stopped the A's after they had scored four runs off Bob in thb second. Lttry Doby and Gene Woodling homered for the third place Indians, who remained a game off the pace. Tire Boston Red Sox kept wltflln 4% games of the top by downing (he Washington Senators, 4 to 1. The Sox scored three in the eighth to win. Sammy White homered in the sixth and drove in another run with a double in the eighth. George Susce Jr., was the winner, with a relief assist from Ivan Delock in the eighth.
