SPORTS FRONT
CHICAGO CUBS or Philadelphia Phillies are going to win the National League pennant—for either the Milwaukee Braves er the Los Angeles’ Dodgers. .
With three days left in regular season play, that's exastly the way things shape up. Bob Scheffing’s Cubs entertain the ambitious Dodgers in single contests Friday, Saturday _and Sunday afternoons and on the same dates the 1958 champions, the Milwaukee Braves, are host to the lowly Philadelphia Phillies. : :
THE MILWAUKEE CLUB appears to have much the rosier ‘situation. The Phillies are mired deep in the league basement and actually have no license to cause the men of Fred Haney any grief. They should. prove easy opposition for Matthews, Aaron and company who are determined to repeat as bosses of the senior circuit. Dodgers’ fans are thinking along these lines and they believe the best the Los Angeles team, can hope for is that Chicago drops all three games to the Dodgers. Even at that, the experts claim the Dodgers will do no better than tie the Braves. If that happens, the two teams play a best of three series with the first game at Milwaukee on Monday and remaining ga . at the big Los Angeles Coliseum on Tues- day and Wednesday. "If this came about the world series opener would be pushed back to October 3.
HOWEVER, this columnist doesn’t .expect the Braves to sweep the three-game set from the Phillies. The boys from the city of brotherlyzlove are under no tension whatsoever and they could come i their best ball of the entire season. If the Dodgers and their supoorters think the Phillies will be a pushover for the Haneymen, that belief is not shared by the
4Milwaukee crew who expect the sternest kind of arguments in
all three battles. The San Francisco Giants, all but out of the league race, can tell you a few facts about the Philadelphia club. The Rigney outfit lost a twin bill to the Phillies not too long ago and then right in Seals Stadium, San Francisco, Robin Roberts bested young Mike McCormick 1-0 in a great pitching duel. These three losses look huge right now to the Giants who a week ago appeared almost certain world series competitors.
Sure the Giants have lost’ five straight games. The trouble all started last Saturday afternoon with the Dodgers. Los An geles swept the three-game series and then the Giants pro ceeded to lose one-run decisions to the Chicago Cubs. _
Despite these five reverses, the Giants would be right in the thick of the race had not the Phillies decided to take those three games from them a short time ago.
AND SO these are the same Phillies that invade County Stadium for the final three games the regular season; It will be a battle of a cellar team agains? a front runner. The front runner has every license to escape unhurt but very often these
-——~eellaraiwellers rise-up-and-knoek your brains out. Dodgers are
hoping that the Phillies will give the Braves a first-class maul- ing, thereby increasing Los Angeles hopes of meeting Chicago White Sox in the great fall classic.
BUT THE DODGERS must worry about themselves as well
| @ the. Braves. The Alstonites are at Wrigley Field for three
games and that Windy City ball park can indeed be a most um friendly place. Again we refer you to those San Francisco Giants who have just experienced two heart-breaking defeats at the hands of the hard-hitting Cubs.
Bob Scheffing certainly isn’t pulling any punches with his outfit in this pennant fight. He used every trick at his command to beat those Giants and he had enough of them to do the job twice. The honesty of baseball is proved every time there is a pennant race. Scheffing Played that series with the Giants though his Cubs had a chance for the flag. He spared noth- in his attempt to check the San Francisco boys and he was ccessful.
t’s the Dodgers turn to taste of Chicago's ‘hospitality’. Alston managed gang is hoping that the Cubs got ball out of their system when the Giants were in Dodgers figure after a two-game win streak by the ere would be nothing disgraceful about Bob Scheffing’s ing tree in a row. Alston and his followers are hoping lines but they realize they have a terrific job on
winning three in a row at Wrigley Field.
VER, the Dodgers’ pitching corps enters this crucial in good shape. It’s likely that Drysdale, Podres and Craig be the three starters with Craig who blanked the Cardinals nesday night the man to hurl that final game Sunday after-

Once again the Cubs will reply with the best availabie and Dodgers will have their work cut out for them in each of three battles. The pressure will be terrific and a world berth will be riding on every pitch of those three games. will be exactly the same situation in Milwaukee where the Braves and Phillies will be going at each other.
OF COURSE, the Giants still have a gasp left in them but their chances no longer depend on their own abilities. Now the Braves and Dodgers must go into a complete collapse if the Gianst are to get home in front. The chance of one of the top ames cooling off is not unlikely but to expect both to crumble these final three davs in asking a bit too much.
And so it looks like the great bid of the Giants to bring a to San Francisco has failed. A week ago the pitcure as excellent but Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs spoil- ed exerything for Seals’ Stadium patrons.
The new stadium that was to be used for world series wil? have to wait until next April to welcome the baseball fans. Everything seemed ready for\ the: biz opening at world series time but five baseball games and the joy had tu to sorrow.
THE BRAVES and Dodgers played 151 ball games to date but all that matters now is two best-of-three series with the Phillies and Cubs as opponents. Which team can come out of these battles with the, best percentage? Will the Braves make ft three pennants in a row or will the Dodgers bring the flag to Las Anzeles? :
We will soon know the answer.

CHICAGO (AP)—Will the pen nant-panting Los Angeles Dodg- ers prove another fly walking into the spider's parlor which is Wrigley Field?
The host Chicago Cubs; fresh from wrecking the flag chances of the San Francisco Giants, can make or break Los Angeles’ championship bid in a _ three game set beginning today.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Braves—now @ied with the Dodg- ers for first ‘in the hectic chase which ends Sunday—entertain the lowly Philadelphia Phils.
Manager Walt Alston will send his 17-game winner, Don Drys- dale, against the Cubs’ Glen Hob- bie (16-13) in the opener. Hobbie has never beaten the Dodgers, having an 04 lifetime mark against them and 0-2 this season.

In one respect, the Dodgers,
whe wind up their thrilling come- |
back with three games against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, have one advantage. They take on the Cubs in the afternoon today while the Braves face the Phils at night.
If the Dodgers and Don, Drys- dale (17-13) can beat the Cubs
; and Glen Hobbie (16-13), the heat
will be blazing on the Braves in the evening. It will be fidgety Lew Burdette (21-14) vs young Don Cardwell (9-10) at County Stadium.

The Giants close out their final | around (put up $5 to win $8) if|three contests against the Cards went
