Braves Defeat Giants, Game Out Os Lead By FRED DOWN United Pres* International Lew Burdette and Warren Spahn can’t reach their go 1 of 50 victories but they'll settle for the Milwaukee Braves’ third straight pennant. The “hot team” in the furious National League scramble, the Braves moved to within one game of first place Wednesday when Burdette beat the fading San Francisco Giants, 2-0, for his 21st victory. And today, it’ll be Spahn gunning for his 20th victory and a triumph that would tie the Braves for first place with a mere eight games left to play. The Braves then would have the tactical advantage over both other contenders because five of their last eight games are against the last-place Philadelphia Phillies and the other three are against the light-hitting Pittsburgh Pirates. Dodgers Blew Chance The Los Angeles Dodgers blew an opportunity to close in on the Giants, too, when they dropped a 7-4 decision to the Cincinnati Reds and remained two games out of first, place. The American League race enjoys a complete day off today but that one is all but mathematically over. The first-place Chicago White Soot lost to the New York Yankees, 3-1, Wednesday but the second - place Cleveland Indians also lost, 6-5, to the Boston Red Sox. And so, the White Sox’ magic pennant-clinching number was reduced to a mere three. Burdette limited the Giants to four singles and a double, struck out seven batters and walked only one in raising his record to 21-14. Frank Thomas and Willie Jones hit homers to lead a 13-hit Cincinnati attack that handed strikeout sensation Sandy Koufax his sixth defeat. The Dodgers collect-

ed 10 hits, including two homers by Charlie Neal andone by Wally Moon, but couldn’t bunch their hits effectively. Yank* Plan “Spoiler” The Yankees, playing their ’’spoiler’’ role to the hilt, dealt 20-game winner Early Wynn his 10th defeat when they scored three runs in the sixth inning to overcome an early 1-0 deficit. Gary Geiger’s bases-filled sacrifice fly in the ninth sent in Jim Mahoney with the winning run as the Red Sox dealt the Indians their second-straight one-run loss. The Chicago Cubs and Pirates split a doubleheader in the other National League action and the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-1, in the other American League game. Vernon Law scattered nine hits to beat the Cubs, 3-2, and win his 17th game for the Pirates in their opener but the Cubs took the nightcap, 4-2, on Sammy Taylor’s two-run ninth-inning homer. Don Mossi yielded seven hits in eight innings and got escellent relief aid from Tbm Morga in the ninth to post his 15th win.
