Only Two Major Batting Titles Up For Grabs By JOB SARGIS United Press Sports Writer Hank Aaron, tuning up for the • World Series, and Roy Sievers, • tuning up for a big pay raise, shoot the works tonight to try to i nail down the only two major bat--1 ting titles still up for grabs on the final week end of the major • Uf.rue baseball season. Aaron, the star Milwaukee • Braves outfielder, already has • clirtched the National League runs- , batted-in title with 132 and leads i Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs , in the home run derby, 44 to 43. The Braves have three games left to play as do the Cubs. Sievers, the “poor man’s Mick- ’ ;y Mantle,’’ has all but clinched the home run and runs batted in itles in the American LeagueWiUiams, Mustal Top Batten The big Washington has 41 homers, three more than Ted Williams cf the Boston Red Sox, and 112 RBIs, eight more than runner-up Vic Wertz of the Cleveland Indians. Williams and Stan Musial already have locked down the batting titles in their respective leagues. Williams, bitting .386, has a 21-point lead over Mantie, who will be rested until the opening of the World Series next Wednesday. Musial, given the final three days of the season Off, is batting .351 and for all practical purposes has won the NL title. Willie Mays of the New York Giants is his closest opponent with a .333 mark; The winner’s circle figures to be a particularly exclusive club this year with only two already in and another with a chance to make it. Warren Spahn of the Braves has won 21 for the only NL pitcher to reach that magic figure, while Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox, also a lefty, is the only AL pitcher. Banning Has Chance Right-hander Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers, who is scheduled Ito start against the Kansas City Athletics tonight, can join the circle with a win. His mark is 19-8-Tonight's other AL action finds Cleveland at Chicago and Baltimore at Washington and the Yanks In Boston for a day game.

Yank Stadium May Be Bother To Milwaukee By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) — Defense is probably the New York Yankees’ outstanding feature but it could present some problems for the Milwaukee Braves in the World Series. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the series is the fact that so few players have ever played in their rivals’ home park. This is bound to cause bpth teams some trouble and it could cause the Braves a lot because their stadium is more conventional than Yankee Stadium. The trouble spots in the vast three-tiered Yankee Stadium are left and center fields and it so happens that the Braves aren’t specially strong defensively in either spot. Can Wes Covington or Andy Pafko roam deep enough to left center? And can Hank Aaron handle both the vast center field territory and the tricky afternoon shadows? If it turns out they can’t, the Braves are going to be giving away some runs—usually a fatal pastime when playing the Yankees. If they can, the Braves ’ shouldn't lose the series on defense because they are reasonably solid I in the other important places. Both teams have good double play combinations. Gil McDougald, a star at three positions, is likely to play all or most of the series at shortstop and he’ll make the D-P. whether he’s paired with Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek or Gerry Coleman. Red Schoendienst, key man of the Milwaukee infield, and shortstop Johnny Logan shape up on a par. The Yankees are probably stronger with their platoons of third and first basemen although Fred Haney can always sub Frank Torre for Joe Adcock to get out-i standing defense at first. The! catchers —Yogi Berra, Del Rice and Del Crandall — are close j enough to be rated even. An edge must be conceded to '

the Yankees in general outlook because of their previous experience ip seriea competition and that “Yankee mind’’ which Is conditioned to think that all the breaks will go their way.
