The champagne is cold. The magic number is one. One win by the could happen tonight at the New York Mets' one los by the St.

Louis the enrichment of the Chicago Cubs- was all that the Dodgers needed for the National League pennant A Los Angeles radio station an nounced plans to broadcast prog ress of this afternoon's Cards Cubs game every half inning, and the listeners are sure to include a bunch of guys who would like to drive to the Dodger Stadium as champions. "I don't care how we win it, or by what device," said Don Drys dale, the big, side-arming pitcher who is pitching tonight against th Mets. "They can't say we backed into it, no matter what happens," sait Drysdale. "We won five of six to get where we are, and three those wins were head and heac against the Cards." The champagne is on ice in the Stadium Club at Dodger Stadium, and it's mighty cold. Some say it has been there since last year about this time, when an end-of season plunge brought disaster to Dodger pennant hopes in a play off loss to San Francisco.

On July 2 it was Drysdale who defeated Curt Simmons and the Cardinals, 1-0, in the same stadi urn, to put the Dodgers ahead. They've been there ever since. He opposes Tracy tallard tonight. Drysdale is 18-17, Stallard 6-16. In 15 games against the Mets this season the Dodgers have only lost Stallard pitched one of them, a four-hitter July 30.

There was only one game scheduled in the majors Monday. Detroit whipped Washington 4-1. Norm Cash got the Tigers started with a first-inning homer and Rocky Colavito connected in the fifth with a man on. Phil Regan, touched for Don Blasingame's first-inning homer, won his 15th with one-out relief help from Willie Smith. Regan struck out 10 in 8 2-3 innings.

Footbal League Loses on Appeal BALTIMORE (AP)-The American Football League has lost its appeal of a $10-millior. damage suit against the National Football League. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a federal district court was correct in holding that the older NFL neither had a monopoly on professional football nor used its pr tige to impede formation of the rival loop in 1960. "The district court's finding that National did not have the power to monopolize the relevant market appears plainly correct," the appellate judges said in their opin ion.

The AFL had argued that the NFL deliberately expanded to Dallas and Minneapolis-St. Paul to head off the new league. The AFL was founded by Lamar Hunt in Dallas and had been bargaining for a franchise in Minnesota. Day Race Card Attracts 2,524 The first weekday of day racing at Green Mountain Park yesterday drew 2524 fans who bet $116, 594 for the nine race card.

"But when our group bought the team," McHale said, "We bought it as the Milwaukee baseball club. We intend to keep it that way." The announcement came during a continuing swirl of reports that Atlanta, and San Diego, had made tempting offers for the Braves, whose move from Boston 11 years ago touched off the major leagues' dazzling gold rush.

The lures reportedly included lucrative radio-television offers. McHale said that feelers also were received from Toronto and the Texas cities of Dallas-Fort Worth. When the rumors the Braves might leave began to pop up, the management said a decision would be made after the close of the season at a meeting of directors. McHale explained no formal meeting was held. "Bill Bartholomay (chairman of the board) got in touch with all of them over the weekend.

The decision was to do what was right, not only to Milwaukee but to the stability of baseball itself." In his formal statement, McHale said, "in order to dispel confusion, my associates join me in making this statement: "The Braves will be in Milwaukee, today, tomorrow, next year and as long as we are welcome. Normally, the results of a baseball operation and plans for the future are discussed at the end of the season. However, in this case, the Braves management feels that the air should be cleared." McHale also said there had been no contact with the league office about moving the club.

Moore New England Sports Briefs BOSTON (AP) Boeton Unl versity Field, formerly Braves Field, formerly National League Park, formerly Braves Field, will be renamed Nickerson Field Saturday between the halves of the BU-West Virginia football game. The field will be named in honor of William E. Nickerson, who donated, funds for BU athletic facilities in Weston in 1926. Nickerson Field originally was located on the Weston-Newton line, but the college had to give up the facility in 1952 for the Massachusetts Toll Road. Before BU Field was so named, it was used by the baseball Bos- Ion Braves of the National League.

It was re-christened National League Park when the Braves were known as the Bees during the late 1930s then renamed Braves Field when the team, reverted to its old name. Boston University purchased the field from the Braves in 1952 after the team went to Milwaukee. FOWNAI, Vt.

The 185-pound yearling from Brookline, gained 97 yards in 18 carries as the Huskies beat Rhode Island 28-13 in their open- or Saturday. New England college players named to the first weekly ECAC team were halfbacks Tony Campano of Norwich and Richie Reynolds of Vermont, tackle Wayne Snowman of American International and guard Bob! Cobb of Springfield. WELLESLEY, Mass. (AP) Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach says John Havlicek doesn't have to worry about the "sophomore jinx" in the coming National Basketball League season.

"He was a pro from the minute he stepped out there as a rookie and I gave him the alternating double defensive job of covering forward Willie Naulls and Richie Guerin," says Auerbach. Havlicek says playing both the front court and the back court helped his versatility as a rookie. "It also afforded me more playing time than I had imagined," he said. "I still have far to go as a real sound guard, I know, but I learned a great deal at that spot last year." BOSTON opening day crowd of 13,414 wagered $876,670 yesterday as a 24-day fall meeting opened at Suffolk Downs. Sailing Chance won the feature, paying $7.40, $4.80 and $2.20 after covering the mile test in 1:42 3-5.
