Reds Big Help In Braves Drive For Top Place By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer It ain't exactly cricket, but the pennant - bound Milwaukee Braves may be strongly temped to vote their Cincinnati "cousins” a sizeable World Series slice when they sit down to cut the melon about a month from now. No club in the National League has contributed more to the Braves present seven - game lead than the Redlegs, who have lost 15 out of IT to Milwaukee so far this season • Every pennant-winner generally has its favorite "patsy." Last year, for example, the Dodgers made the Cubs and Cardinals their No 1 "whipping boys” by taking 16 out of 22 games from each. And over in the American League, the Yankees licked Kansas'City 18 out of 22 and have beaten the A’s 17 times out of 20 this year. Four-Homer Barrage The Braves used a barrage of four home runs Friday night in defeating the Redl eg s for the eighth straight time. 9-5. Eddie Mathews, Carl Sawatski, Frank Torre and Wes Covington each homered for Milwaukee as southpaw Warren Spahn notched his 17th victory. The Brooklyn Dodgers, still nursing an outside chance, humbled the Giants, 10-0. while the Cardinals defeated the Cubs, 2-1. and rookie Jack Sanford of the Phillies beat the Pirates, 4-3, for his 17th triumph. Kansas City dimmed the White Sox flickering pennant hopes a bit more over in the American League when Alex Kellner stopped Chicago 3-1. Boston rolled over Baltimore. 8-1, Cleveland scored a 10inning, 6-5 victory over Detroit, and Washington stopped the Yankees, 4-2. Drysdale Defeats Giants 'Don Drysdale of the Dodgers

Eight Fast Horses /. In American Derby CHICAGO (UP)—A field of eight 3-year-olds, headlined by Kentucky Derby winner Iron Liege and West Coast sensation Round Table, goes on the turf today in quest of $100,350 at Washington Park's American Derby. The Derby, a mile and 3-16 event, had a gross value of $145,900, the third richest pot in its history. Only Mark-Ye-Well, which won $103,325 in 1952, and Swoon's Son, which won $102,600 last year, have topped the current Derby prize. Competition for Iron Liege and Round Table was expected to come primarily from Bureaucracy, owned by Ogden Phipps, and Ekaba, owned by Agoura Stock Farm. Hiere still was a splinter of doubt, however, as to whether Iron Liege would actually run. “We’ll wait to see how the track looks,” Calumet Farm’s trainer, 'Jimmy Jones, said. "We’U probably run if the grass course is soft, which means that it would have fo'took like rain. Otherwise, I don’t know.” Hie Derby would mark Iron Liege’s first run on the grass. Iron Liege attempted a first workout on the grass Friday and was clocked at a :50 3-5 half mile on a soft strip. Bill Hartack is slated~to ride Iron Liege. Kerr Stable’s Round Table will be ridden by Wille Shoemaker Round Table and Iron Liege have met but once before, in the Kentucky Derby, where Round Table finished third. Round Table and Iron Liege were assigned top American Derby weight of 126 pounds. Given 123 pounds wpje William S. Miller's Better Bee and Bureaucracy. At 120 were T. I. Harkins’ Golden One, Hasty House Farm’s Martini 11, Frederick Nally’s Melson and Ekaba.
