MILWAUKEE UNDER CHARlie Diesen, has been resting in thrd, second and so forth, staying about 5 to 7 games out until a couple of weeks ago when they moved closer to the top. DrcsSt Il's team has been playing it petty cagey, first of all. having an advantage in one way beeaus* of a flock of postponements in the eai ly part of the season. They also have been under a little diffcrent set-up pitching-wise as since the pennant year in Boston when their motto was Spahn and Sain and pray for rain, the Biaveg have depended on Spahn and one or twe other pitchers to (any the load. Well, this year. brCssm ha.s changed this pattern. SPAHN AND BURDETTE are Ihe big guns on the Braves mound staff and this year, the\ have had t lot more rest early in the season. Os course. Spahn is touching 40 years of age, but in the past couple of years, he and Burdette were almost pitched out by the end of the season Between the two cf them in the first half of the season, they hav e started about 10 less games and pitched something like 80 less innings than their pace of last year. Saving this heavy work early has paid ofi' as now these two are engineering the pennant express of Milwaukee with soi.m mighty fine and timely wins. ALSO A SPURT AT THE plate from Hank Aaron and Eddie Alathews, the tw u real slugs on that team, have spun ?d the team on offensively. Aaron s’dl is below hi s usual batting average, but has smashed out 28 home runs and pounded in some mighty big runs for the Braves. Mathews shook a slump aftei the All-Star game that had been slowing his pace, but has pulled hiu total of honters over 2o now and is hitting the big clubh blows. Combine this with some timely hitting from big Joe Adc< k and Del Crandall and nai RIALTO Walkerton, Ind. riiurMlav, Iridal A Nat.

Tiani strong fort in tins' sti eak has been complex game pitching and some real fancy hitting by Roy Seivers, Al Smith and Minnie Mmoso The big Selvers bat was the rial clincher and moral builder needed to get them going. His big ba* has been pounding hits .the 1< ng ball and knocking in runs at a very fast clip forth? rapidly ( limbing Sox. With this punch and Wynn. Shaw ami Pierce pacing the hurlers. they have looked like a team that wants to repeat. j THE RACES ARE FAR FROM over with both leagues still tight and more than two teams have a shot at it in both leagm s. The Sox. on this Tuesday, sti have one more loss than the Y inks, despite the fact that they ue a game ahead. They are st 11 only six losses ahead of th si.'th place Tigers who arc bold ng just under the -500 mark with Washington. Baltimore and Cleveland are onlj’ 3 nd 3’ 2 games out. IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, Milwaukee no'w trails Pittsbuigh by a half game, following Pittsburgh’s win Monday. But the Kai nois e has been the play of the Ekxlgers and Cardinals who have moved up within 4C< games of the leaders, whoever it may be at any given time. With pitching likg the Dodgers are getting, no one can count th< n out, and the Cards have taken . new lease on life paced by a few hot pitchers and an old ir.an named Musial.
