Chicago Cubs Knock Braves Out Os Lead By FRED DOWN (United Press Sport* Writer) Stan Hack’s Chicago Cubs wim’t win the National League pennant this year but it look* like they'll have a lot to say about who does come out on top in the crazy, mixed-up scramble. The circuit’* “sad sack” team until the Memorial Day milestone, the Cubs have developed into official “spoilers” with a 20-14 pace since June 1 that’s topped only by the Brooklyn Dodgers’ 21-14 rate Aince that date. And, in the last wee£ they’ve taken five of eight games from the Milwaukee Braves, St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Redlegs. The Cub* made it threSL.QUt of .their lest five With the Brayes night when' Ww VsJehUoetG and’Jim- Brosnan collaborated in a four-hit, 7-1’ triumph. The loss knocked the Brave* out of first place and enabled the idle Redlegs to ’take over the top rung by three percentage points, -i Valentinetti limited the Braves to three in. < 1-3 innings bui had to retire with a strained ligament in his left knee when he collided with Wes Covington in a play at the plate in the fifth inning. Jim Brosnan, whose only other victory was over the Braves on May 30, held them to one hit the rest of the way to receive credit for the win. Eddie Miksis homered to snap a 1-1 tie with two out in the seventh inning and the Cubs went on to tally four more runs to sew up the game. Hobie Landrith and Brosnan singled in the wake of Miksis’ homer arid Don Hoak followed with a double. Gene Baker singled home two runs and another tallied on Dee Fondy’s double. The loss left little doubt in Fred Haney's mind that his “honeymoon” as manager of the Braves is over. The Braves reeled off 11 straight victories when Haney took over but have lost seven of their last 11 games during which they have scored a total of 36 runs. In the American League’, < the
