O O TEN MEDFORD (OREGOg) Mft.IL TRIBUNE .500 Pace Appears Formula for Yanks, By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer A mere 22 victories in 44 garr.& a .500-yice shapes up today as the magic pennant clinching numbc? for both the Milwaukee Braves and the New ork Yankees. Tne one e-close National league scramble crked wide open Sunday when the Braves whipped the St. Louis Cardi nals, 5-1, for their seventh straight victory, their 12th in 13 games and the 21st in 26 games since July 15. The Yan kees, meavhile, downed trS Baltimore Oriales, 7-2, and .pick ed up a half-game when the Chi- cage White Sox split with the Detroit Tigers. Those successes enabled both front-runners to open up Wi game lea with each having 44 games remaining. A .500 pace would enable the Braves to finish with 90 victories and the Yankees with 94. To overtake the Braves the Cardinals would have to play .644 ball, the Brooklyn Dodgers .674, the Cin cinnati Kedleg3 .682 and the Philadelphia Phillies .727. The . White Sox would have to close at a .644 pace to wipe out a .500 Yankee closing pace. Conley Twirls Seven-Hitter Gene Conley, 6-1 since that key July 15 date, pitched a seven-hitter for his eighth win as the Braves gained the biggest NL lead of the season and the longest since they enjoyed the same margin on July 26, 1956 Almost every statistic imaginable now supports the theory that the Braves will go' on to their first flag since the shift to Milwaukee. Since July 15, they've played at an .808 clip compared to the Redlegs' .577. the Dodgers' .567, the Car dinals' .556 and the collapsing Philliyes' .407. In addition, they now hold a season's edge over each of their rivals 7-5 over the Cardinals, 9-7 over the Dod gers, 11-2 over the Redlegs and 10- 8 over the Phillies. The Yankees, pulling out of a momentary slump, slammed out 14 hits behind the six-hit pitching of Johnny Kucks and Bob Grim and now show a steady 7-4 pace for August. The White Sox, who suffered an 8-5 loss before beating the Tigers, 11- 2, show no signs of mounting a late drive off their 5-6 pace for this month.
