Braves Boost Winning Skein To 10 Games By FRED DOWN United Pkm Bperte Writer The National League's chances of heading off Milwaukee's pennant express rested today on the forlorn hope that one of the Braves’ bedraggled pursuers can match the 1951 Giants’ "miracle finish." The Braves just about completed "operation wrapup" Thursday night when they erushed the Cincinnati Redlegs, 8-1. to run their winning streak to 10 games and their first-place lead to 8%. Hank Aaron drove in five runs with his 33rd and 34th homers and Warren Spahn spun an eight-hitter as the Braves whipped the Redlegs for the 14th time in 16 meetings.. That 8%-game lead with only 41 games to play places the Braves in almost exactly the same position as were the 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers. The Dodgers led by nine games with 41 to play that year only to have the Giants win 30 of their last 36 -games and then win the resulting playoff on Bobby Thomson’s famous home run. Contenders Collapsing The major difference in the corresponding positions of the ’57 Braves and 'sl Dodgers is that the "miracle Giants" had already begun to make their move while all the current “contenders” are in a state of virtual collapse. The St. Louis Cardinals have lost 9 in a row, the Dodgers have dropped 7 of their last 10, the Redlegs have lost 8 of their last 12 and the ». , . —■» O !■ IMI " 1 —

’ Al Besselink ; Defends Golf : Sharing Plan iV ’ ' ST. PAUL, Minn. (UP)—AI Bes- [ selink, the bro goiter who created 1 a minbr storm when It was report- ! ed he received 85,000 from Tam " O’Shanter champ Dick Mayer, 1 would not comment today on the 1 report, but had plenty to say about ‘ the practice of sharing purses. "I have nothing to say on wheth- ’ er or not I received any money 1 from Mayer until I see him next ’ week at Milwaukee,” Besselink ; said. “And I don’t see why there r should be any fuss about the whole • deal." 1 Besselink went on to explain how the profit-sharing plan works. He said there are no bets, nor are any handicaps of any kind established. He said it is a straight business deal designed to protect j those who might have a bad ; streak while on tour. ; “It’s just like any other busiI ness," Besselink said. f "You find a man who you have confidence Jn—a man who you fig- ( ure will finish high in the money. > You then agree with him that if i either of you come in with top I money you will split with the other, f Sometime you may be a winner; sometime it may be the other i guy,” he said. , Besselink said he received 310,- ■ 000 from Bob Toski, when Toski won the Tam O’Shanter in 1955. , under such an arrangement. "There’s nothing dishonest about ■ making a deal of this sort; it’s • just good business” said Besselink. “We play golf for money. It’s our livelihood.” i Harvey Raynor, PGA tourney ■ supervisor, said the PGA has no > control over what players do with their prize money. He said the profit-sharing arrangement has “been going on as long as there has been professional golf.” Besselink said this has been the best year of his career for winning money. Although he ranks only 20th in total earnings, he is among the top five in the money department. He has played only a few tourneys this year, winning 310,972. That does not include his reported share with Mayer. 24-Hour Recall By Majors Is Doomed COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP) —The long-standing agreement whereby major league clubs have been able to farm players out to minor league teams and then recall them on 24 hours notice appeared headed for doom today. The elimination of this agreement will be made to major league club owners at their annual winter meeting later this year. The proposal was agreed to by farm directors of the 16 major league teams meeting'' here with presidents of the minor loop teams. The two-day Session ended Thursday with the adoption of t the recommendation. If the proposal is adopted b y the major league baseball executives it will stop big-league clubs from farming out players and then recalling them before the mi-nor-league season ends.

1,592 Golfers Are Entered In Amateur Meet NEW YORK (UP)—Six former champions and members of the United States and British Walker Cup teams are listed among the golfers who will attempt, t 6 succeed Harvie Ward Jr., as National Amateur champion next month. Ward lost his amateur standing two months ago after admitting he accepted expense money Illegally over a five-year period. That will prevent him from trying for his third straight title in the 57th annual championships Sept. 9-14 at the Brookline, Mass., Country Club. However, 1,592 other golfers, only eight Short of the record set last year, filed entry blanks for the match-play competition. All face 36 - hole qualifying rounds Aug. 27 at 32 sites except for 31 golfers who qualify automatically. That leaves 169 berths open, which means only one out of every nine hopefuls will make the grade. Heading the exempt group are former champions Charlie Coe (1949) of Oklahoma City, who also qualified as non - playing captain of thee U.S. Walker Cuppers; Willie Turnesa (1938, 1948) of Elmsford, N.Y.;'Ted Bishop (1946) of Cambridge, Mass., and Dick Chapman (1940) of Pinehurst, N.C. Two old- timers who won the Amateur way back when, Charles Chick) Evans Jr. (1916, 1920) of Chicago and Jesse Guilford (1921) of West Newton, Mass., will play for sentimental reasons. Best bets among the strong U.S. Walker Cup contingent are crowdpleasing Billy Joe Patton of Morganton, N.C.; 1956 runner - up Chuck Kocsis of oyal Oak, Mich.; 1956 semi - finalist Joe Campbell of Knoxville, Tenn., and Coe. Other Walker Cuppers who will play are ex Baxter Jr., of Amarillo, Tex.; Arnold Blum of Macon, Ga.; Bill Campbell of Huntington. W.Va.; Lt. Hillman obbins Jr., of Memphis; Bill Hyndman 111 of Philadelphia; E. Mason udolph of Clarksville, Tenn., and Dr. Frank (Bud) Taylor Jr., of Pomona, Calif. Annual K. C.

Willie Mays To Miss Polo Grounds Home NEW YORK (UP)—Willie Mays says he'll "follow the crowd" to San Francisco but it’s obvious his heart still lies in the Polo Grounds, where he is the only attraction pulling in the last remaining diehards today. 'TH miss this place," said the Giant center fielder, gesturing toward the familiar Polo Grounds’ landscape. "I’ll miss it more’n anybody knows. The fans have been great to me here ... I feel like this is my home and these are all my friends. “But I go where the team goes. If it's San Francisco, that's it. I've been there a coupla* times. Exhibition games, you know. It seemed okay to me. Struck me as a real big city, with a lot of people, just like this one." Like most of the other Giant players, Willip frequently .inquires >f baseball writers, “Hear anything new about us moving?” He hasn't allowed his curiosity to bother his playing performance, however. Mays' .329 batting average is topped only by Hank Aaron of- the Braves and Stan Musial of the Cardinals, and he is flashier than ever in the outfield. Only 7,587 fans turned out to watch the Giants beat the Dodgers. 9-4, Thursday, and there was little doubt from their pre-game
