Braves Boost Lead To Four Over Cardinals By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sport* Writer From Milwaukee owner Lou Perinl right down to the Milwaukee bat boy there was a feeling today that the worst was over, and the rest of the National League took the Braves’ four » game lead to mean that the pennant race was over. The Braves could almost feel, the flag in their fingers after they beat the Giants, 8-2, Wednesday night for their third straight victory while the Dodgers defeated the faltering second - place Cardinals. 6-1. The overjoyed Perini had his eyes and ears on both games from a New York hotel room where he watched the BrooklynSt. Louis contest on TV while listening to the Milwaukee - New York tussle on the radio at the same time. “I feel 100 per cent better now." he said happily, after both games were over. “It looks as if we're over our hitting slump and the World Series doesn't seem so far away now." Burdette Wins 16th Obviously back in the groove at the plate, the Braves pounded southpaw Johnny Antonelli and four Giant relievers for 11 hits, including three by Johnny Logan and a homer by Andy Pafko. Lew Burdette, meanwhile, scored his 16th victory with a four-hitter, one of which was Willie Mays' 35th homer in the sixth inning. The victory reduced Milwaukee's “magic number” to six with nine games left to play Cincinnati edged Pittsburgh, 2-1, and the Cubs topped the Phillies, 6-4, in. the other National League games. The Yankees reduced their "magic number" to four and retained their 6%-game lead in the American League with a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. The White Sox stayed alive with a 7-5 win over Baltimore; Kansas City licked Boston, 2-1, and Cleveland whipped Washington, 8-3. Cards Err Thrice Young Don Drysdale was credited with his 16th victory for the Dodgers although Ed Roebuck bailed"hHWWrt in JheiUnthJJhanlie Neal rapped Lindy McDaniel for a twt>run homer in the third inning and the Dodgers added theta* final four runs with the aid of three Cardinal errors.

Pirates. Lawrence, who drove in Cincinnati's first run, hurled a seven-hitter for his 16th victory. The only run he allowed was an eighth-inning homer by Bob Skinner. Smith yielded seven hits, also. Home runs by Ernie Banks and Walt Moryn of the Cubs helped rookie Dick Drott record his 15th victory of the campaign. Banks drove in three runs with a double and his 42nd homer to send Robin Roberts of the Phils down to his 21st defeat. • 4 * Yogi Berra was pretty much * the whole show in the Yankees’ ) victory over the Tigers. He drove ' in all of New York’s runs with his ! 21st and 22nd homers of the year : off Duke Maas Sal Maglie was > the winner although Bob Turley ; turned in a brilliant two -inning relief job by striking out three of k the six Detroit batters he faced. ’ Rookie Hite First Homer ’ Lanky Ron Jackson, recalled by ■ the White Sox from Indianapolis, 1 smashed a three-run homer that ' climaxed a five - run fifth inning and powered- Chicago to its tri- ‘ umph over Baltimore.

Har--1 rell collected 3 of Cleveland’s 14 hits while Jim Lemon had 4 of Washington’s 10 hits. Magic Numbers Now Are .Four And Six By UNITED PRESS The “magic numbers" are ‘way down to four and six for a Yankees-Braves World Series. I That means any combination of Yankee victories of White Sox defeats adding to "four” will give . the Yankees the American League , pennant. The Yankees can clinch now by playing .500 ball, winning . .four of tear., eight remaining games, even if the Sox win all I theirs. I The Braves can clinch the NaI tional League flag by winning six of their remaining nine, even if > the Cards win’em all. Or any combination of Braves wins and Cards losses adding to six will do , the trick.

lowa's Grid Coach Charges He Misquoted IOWA CITY, lowa (UP) - Big Ten football Coach Forest Evashevski today said a national sports magazine “twisted my words" in writing that the aim of college football is “winning, not good sportsmanship.” The mentor of t«e Rose Bowl Champion University of lowa gridiron squad charged he was “misquoted and misinterpreted" in an article in Sports Illustrated. Portions of the article purporting to quote him on the suspension of Indiana football Coach Phil Dickens were not true, Evashevski said “I am amazed that a magazine such as Sports Illustrated will sacrifice truth and dignity in the interest of sensational journalism," he said. In an article entitled “A Heretic Speaks His Mind,” Evashevski was quoted as saying, "That situation at Indiana where Coach Phil Dickens last month was given a year's suspension for violation of the Big Ten recruitment rule just turned my stomach, the way that president turned on his coach. Wednesday the Hawkeye coach said if he had been asked about the Indiana situation, “I would have said that I thought President Herman B. Wells defended his coach to the fullest.” He also was extremely criitcal of a section of the article which quoted him as saying "the coach enters a tacit understanding with the president that he will recruit good football players by any means short of larceny.” Denying the statement, he said that he knew of "no college president who will tolerate a disregard of ethics and rules.” Portions of the article downgraded sportsmanship in college football, quoting Evashevski as asserting that college football does not teach good sportsmanship. “They have twisted my words,” Evashevski said. “When sportsmanship no longer has a place in college football, I will resign ” The coach said that in an interview of good sportsmanship, but the aptual builder of sportsmanship is the parent during his formative years.” Evashevski said writer Jack Olson interviewed him late in August at Spirit Lake, lowa, when he was a speaker at an lowa high school football clinic. “Three witnesses who sat in on the interview with Sports IllusTrdted writer Jack Olson were today amazed as I am when they saw the article."

Dodgers May Accept Rockefeller's Offer NEW YORK (UP)—The Dodgers were inclined to accept Nelson Rockefeller’s offer and stay in Brooklyn, but the city of New York may reject the plan and send the Dodgers scurrying to Los Angeles. That was the situation as outlined to the United Press by a high source today while the Board of Estimate, top ruling body of this city, met for the second time to discuss the Rockefeller “lastditch” offer to help the Dodgers get a stadium in Brooklyn. Os the 16 votes in the board, only five were known to be in favor of the Rockefeller plan and seven against. The four remaining votes were, seen as likely to be in favor, but a switch of even one would result in an 8-8 tie that probably would end the saga of the Brooklyn Dodgers Millionaire Rockefeller made his offer t 6 Dodger President Walter O’Malley and Mayor Robert Wag- 1 ner Wednesday morning; in the afternoon, the Board of Estimate discussed the offer for two hours in closed session. The high source told the United Press that O’Malley “probably -would accept the offer, with only some small amendments, but there’s grave doubt the city will go for it.”

Illinois Vef Out For Year With Injury By UNITED PRESS Illinois’ Big Ten football hopes suffered a setback today with the loss of veteran center Ken Sutter for the season Sutter, who suffered a knee injury last week, will undergo surgery and will not rejoin the squad this fall. However, three other lllini cripples were back in action for Wednesday’s workout. They were halfbacks L.T. Bonner and Jim Digirolamo and end Dave Rewerts.

Injuries also plagued the Minnesota squad, forcing Coach Murray Warmath to make several changes in his second string line. Dave Herbold was switched from right tackle to right guard, Jerry Wallin was moved from left to right tackle, Bob Schmidt moved from left end to left tackle and Tom Moe switched to left end. Purdue welcomed the return of tackle Wayne Farmer as the Boilermakers closed out double practice drills. Farmer, veteran right tackle, made his first appearance of the season in full uniform after recuperating from a mid-summer operation lowa Coach Forest Evashevski eased off practice sessions after an almost steady diet of rough workouts during the past three weeks. Evashevski indicated he may cut back on the two-a-day practice drills during the two weeks remaining before the Hawkeye opener against Utah State. At Michigan State, Coach Duffy Daugherty said he planned drills on assignments and some punting today and Friday to improve the Spartans’ “sharpness.” Daugherty said he still was dissatisfied with the squad’s performance after offenive and defensive scrimmages Michigan closed out its two-a-day drills with the emphasis on the aerial game. Quarterbacks Jim Van Pelt and Stan Noskin did most of the passing. The Wolverines also welcomed back left halfback Jim Pace who missed two sessions due to bruised rite. Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes said he was “reaHpleased” with the Buckeyes’ offense after a tough half-hour scfignmage. However, he said theWefense could be a bit better. Both the first and second teams scored six points in the workout. He s'aid Frank Kremblas will be the Bucks’ starting quarterback. Wisconsin's varsity sqyad looked., good in a practice scrimmage against third and fourth Stringers, but when the first two teams were paired, the offensive units had a field day. Sophomore halfback Bill Hobbs, brother of Badger fullback Jon Hobbs* sat out with a bruised shoulder Northwestern held its last two-a-day practice session in secret, after which Coach Ara Parseghian said the first team was successful in preventing the second and third squads from moving the ball. Center Fred Bennett was the only regular to miss the session. Indiana pointed for its opener against Michigan State by sending the freshman team using Spartan plays against the varsity. Acting Coach Bob Hicks announced that Don Howell, senior guard from Gary, Ind, was elected 1957 team captain. Non-conference Notre Dame went through a spirited line scrimmage and a battle appeared to be shaping up for the No. 1 berth at fullback. Junior Nick Pietrosante appeared to have the edge, out ha was being pressred by

senior Chuck Lima and junior Ron Toth. Coach Terry Brennan said all practices will be closed until after the Sept. 28 game against Purdue. Light Heavyweight Title Bout Friday V ' LOS ANGELES (UP)—Mysterious Archie Moore, the world’s oldest boxing champion, is only an even-money favorite to retain the light - heavyweight crown that he risks here Friday against 22-year-old Tony AnthonyDespite the fact that he hasn’t lost to a light-heavyweight since he dropped a 10-round decision to Harold Johnson ’way back in 1951 before he won the title, the oddsmakers figure that age must eventually catch up with the champ—and this may be the time. Archie, at least 40 and possibly as old as 44, has been keeping the experts guessing all through his training period here. He has kept his telephone number a secret and he has talked to very few newsmen. But there Is no doubt about the fact that he’s in condition. “He’s at the 175 - pound mark right now and will have no trouble making that figure at the weigh -in tomorrow,’’ said Jake Shugru from the Moore training camp. But if -Archie has been hiding out, there is nothing but frankness and optimism in the Anthony camp. While young Tony relaxed in preparation for the biggest night of his young life, manager Ernie Braca did the talking. “We’re as ready as it is possible to be,’’ said Braca. “Physically and mentall Tony is in perfect condition-’’
