Milwaukee has nothing to fear but fear itself The Associated Press With 41 games to go and an Sy 2 game lead, Milwaukee's Braves have nothing to fear but fear Itself. And maybe, the Chicago Cubs. All the Braves have to worry about, now that they've won 10 in a row after Thursday night's 81 victory at Cincinnati, is the haunting 1956 season, when they won 11 straight, had a then blew it in the last week as Brookly won the pennant by one game. And they also must be rem- bering the 1951 season, when even Brooklyn's old pros couldn't hold a August lead and were beaten in a pennant playoff by the New York Giants. The Braves are back home tonight for the first of a four-game series with the St.

Louis Cardinals whose slump is every bit as surprising and sudden as Milwaukee's surge. The Red Birds lost their ninth in a longest skid since a 4-1 setback at Chicago. The seventh place Cubs now are 9-7 over the Cards and have beaten the Braves in 7 of 13. Brooklyn Htayed in third place, also 8 1 back and within one percentage pojnt of St. Louis, as the Dodgers twice blew leads and lost to the Giants 9-4 in the only other NL game scheduled.

In the American, the New York Yankees went ahead again, defeating Boston 6-3, although Ted Williams his average to .393, while the second-place Chicago White Sox gave up five unearned runs and lost to Cleveland 5-4. Kansas City whipped Detroit 7-2 in the only other game. Hank Aaron, the NL's bat leader, hammered across five runs with a pair of homers as the Braves swung for 12 hits. Eddie Mathews, and ex-Redleg Bob Hazle also homered for Milwaukee. Warren Spahn won his 13th with an eight-hitter, losing a shutout on an unearned run in the second.

Spahn got a four-run cushion in the first that chased Hal Jeffcoat. Bob Turley won his fifth in a row for a 10-3 record, but needed Bob Grim's relief when Frank Malzone's home run junked his shutout in the eighth. Loser Willard Nixon held the Yankees to three hits, one of them Elston Howard's home run, for six frames. Gil McDougald drove in three runs, and hit a two-run hom- er'in the eighth to clinch it. The Indians shook their six- game losing string in the sixth when southpaw Jack Harshman walked one run home, then gave up a grand-slammer to Chico Car- rasquel that wiped out a 3-0 White Sox lead.

Don Mossi went all the way to win his ninth. Dale Long's home run and Bob Speake's two-run single nailed the Cubs ninth victory in 12 games in the second as Sam Jones lost his seventh. Rookie Moe Drabowsky wan his ninth with a six-hitter. Rookie Valmy Thomas drove in four runs with a triple and homer for the Giants as Ramon Monzant, third of four pitchers, won his first. Three runs in the sixth, two unearned, did it.

Don Drysdale, Brooklyn's top winner with 10, lost his seventh. Woody Held, Billy Martin and Hec Lopez homered for the A's as Jack Urban won his second. Jirn Bunning, who has won 14, lost his fifth, second to Kansas City. Wichita boosts a big 7 Vi game lead Associiiti-d Press The Wichita Braves, after breaking even in 16 home games that left their American Assn. lead virtually unchanged, begin a 20-day road trip Friday night.

They test first Omaha, which split a doubleheader with Denver Thursday night, and then visit the Bears' lair. Still 7 games in front, Wichita gevp Carlton Willey his 18th m. 1 victory by nicking Charleston Thursday night 8-3. It was no trouble after Earl Hersh's 20th home run sparked a five-run second inning for the Braves. Second-place Minneapolis defeated St.

Paul, 8-6 on the strength of five runs in the sixth inning, and Indianapolis beat Louisville 83. It took three innings for Denver to race back from a 1-0 opening- game defeat to Omaha and drop the Cardinals in the second game 6-3, Norm Siebern's three-run homer opened the attack and he added a double that helped score two more runs in the third. The Cards' Tom Cheney set down Denver on one slow roller to shortstop which Britz Brickell beat the opener. Folley is promised crack at heavy title PHOENIX, Ariz. UB-A Phoenix promoter says No.

(Sun Photo) '1 man bench' cause Cards collapse? By JIM VAN VALKENBURG ST. LOUIS Did a "one-man bench" cause the sudden and almost total collapse of the St. Louis Cardinals? Stunned by nine-game losing streak, fans and newsmen looking for the reason have nominated Manager Fred Hutchinson's Joe Cunningham as the "one-man bench." Cunningham, a left-handed belt- er from New Jersey, has been just about the only man Hutch could rely on for help. Hutchinson has two catchers Hal Smith and Hobie Landrith, but otherwise it has been a case of Seven Iron Horses and Cunningham. The iron horses simply have run out of gas.

Ten days ago the Red Birds led both leagues in team hitting, and more runs than any club except Cincinnati, and led the National League. This same team has scored only 13 runs in nine games since then and only once did it come close to victory. That was in a 4-3 defeat to the seventh-place Chicago Cubs, who have taken six of the nine games in the St. Louis losing streak. On Aug.

6, Cardinal fans were trying to find ways of getting tickets to the first St. Louis World Series in 11 years. Now the club is games out as it opens a four-game series at Milwaukee and a lot of folks won't even talk about them. The collapse isn't as sudden as it sounds. The present hitting slump actually is 25 games old.

Some observers, 'aware the iron horses were wearing thin, saw it coming. While winning 12 of 16 prior to the nosedive, the Red- Birds were scoring barely four runs a game and winning on great pitching. How did the bench get that way? Some fans blame General Manager Frank Lane's dealings. Others criticize club owner August A. Busch Jr.

for holding onto first baseman Tom Alston because he cost $100,000. Others, including Ls" himself, blast Hutchinson for using aging Walker Cooper. Somewhat overlooked as a reason is the Milwaukee team's great pressure on the Cards. St. Louis won eight straight in its recent home stand, yet gained only a half-game on the Braves in that span.

Olympic planners worrying out loud SAN FRANCISCO Caliior- nia's planners for the 1960 Winter Olympic games are worrying out loud about delays that already have thrown the Squaw Valley construction timetable out of kilter. The 1960 date may sound comfortably far off, but the short summer seasons in the high Sierras impart a note of immediate urgency to the schedule. By this time, the building program was expected to be well under way, well ahead of the snow and freezing weather that soon will force a halt until 1958. Instead, little has been done because the land acquisition effort still is unsettled. H.D.

Thoreau, executive secretary of the" Olympic commission, said Thursday that a "crash program" will 'be necessary.

Expect Giants franchise in Frisco soon NEW YORK The West Coast very likely finally will have a major league baseball franchise within the next 72 hours, with San Francisco claiming the New York Giants. The question of whether the Giants should flee New York anc shift to California will be put before the club's board of directors Monday by President Horace Stoneham, who wilf recommend acceptance.

The board appears to be the last hurdle in San Francisco's bid to win the Giants. Stoneham already is sold. So is the National League, which approved such a switch May 28. One or two members of the board reportedly are against a shift to San Francisco, but there apparently is little doubt that Stoneham can win them ove.r. San Francisco's offer was received in official form by Stoneham last week, and starting with a city-built stadium, meets Stoneham's earlier demand for a "satisfactory proposition." Stoneham probably will place a contract proposition for closed-circuit televising of Giant games in San Francisco before the board Monday.

The contract reportedly carries a minimum guarantee of a million dollars annually and Stoneham already has advised his stock-holders, "I can sign the contract the minute we're ready to move." Such a deal would double the club's present radio-television income, Stoneham said. It's this prospective wealth from TV, plus an indicated golden gate at the Golden Gate, which has made Stoneham, despite family ties with New York, a believer in San Francisco. He plans a trip to San Francisco soon after Monday's meeting to check further details in the franchise transfer and inspect Seals Stadium, where the Giants are expected to play until the new stadium is finished in 1959. While no Giant official has confirmed reported details of the San Francisco offer, none has denied that the bid, in addition to the eight million dollar stadium, includes: 1. A rental fee figured at 7 per cent of gross attendance each year.

2. Club control of concessions. 3. City control of parking facilities. Benjamin Franklin held honorary degrees of doctor from both Oxford and St.

McCook outslugged Holdrege, fourth place holder, and won 12 to 8 in a game featuring late inning hitting. The Braves sent six runs home in the seventh and eithth and Holdrege made a game try to get home a winner wjth five runs in the eighth and top of the ninth. Doug Clayton and Merritt Ranew hit home runs in succession for McCook and Don Bonomini, Tony Christopher and pinch hitter Lou Lukaszewski banged round trippers for Holdrege.

Lexington and North Platte got in four and a half innings of play and wound up in a 6 to 6 tie before rain put an end to the slugging. Alston lectures his boys after 9-4 loss BROOKLYN MV-Brooklyn Manager Walt Alston held a closed- door, clubhouse meeting with his Dodgers Thursday after they twice had blown leads in a 9-4 loss to the New York Giants, their seventh in 10 games. Few of the Dodgers made men' tion of the meeting when questioned by reporters, but one, choosing to be unidentified, said "It was a little rough." Alston, with his third place Dodgers now 8 2 games behind Milwaukee, admitted he had held the meeting, but explained it by saying "A lot of guys were late for infield practice and I wanted to make damn sure it didn't happen again." 01 man football refuses to quit By DICK MEISTER STOCKTON, Calif, (m- Looking as if he'll live as long as the game he's grown up with, football's Amos Alonzo Stagg celebrated his 95th birthday today. Stagg, hale and hearty after 65 years of coaching, has no plans for retirement. He has served as an advisory coach at Stockton College the past two seasons and hopes to be invited back this fall.

Even at home Stagg has refused to slow down. Recently a group of friends, fearing that his lawn mowing work was too difficult with the old-fashioned cutter he was using, sent him a power na- chine. He sent it back, saying simply, "I need the exercise." Stagg does all the yard work in his moderate-sized Stockton home but still craves more exercise. So twice a day he swings a golf club on the hundred healthy swings at a time. It was way back in 1887 that Stagg first swung a baseball bat for Yale.

In 1889 he was named an end of Walter Camp's first All-America team, then went on to coach the game at his alma mater. In 1892 he joined the newly- opened University of Chicago and stayed on there as director of athletics, football coach and sometimes track, baseball and basket- 1 all mentor until university regulations forced his retirement at 70.
