MiHwaukee freezing Along; Yanks Feel! Like Sad Sacks By MILTON RICHMAM United Press International Funny game, this baseball. The Braves are leading by eight games and feel like shooins; the Yankees lead by and feel like sad-sacks but they'll have to go out and practice today whether they like it or not. Everything is hunky-dory with the breezing Braves, who ran their winning streak to seven games Sunday by sweeping a pair from the Phillies, 5-1 and 4-1. On the other hand, every thing is all fouled up with the Yankees, who dropped a 6-5 decision to the Red Sox and now have lost eight of San Francisco took over their last 11 starts. Since Aug. 2, their lead has shrunk from 17 games. The schedule says the Yanks have today off. Casey Sten gel says differently He called a practice session for 10 o'clock in the morning. "I don't know whats-a-mat-ter," he grumbled, "But I'm gonna find out in a hurry." Sox Continue Streak Anyway, the second-place White Sox, still entertaining notions of catching the Yan kees, won their fifth straight by beating the Indians, 3-2. Baltimore nipped Washing ton 2-1. and Kansas City de feated Detroit, 4-1. second place in the National league with an 8-6 triumph PCL Leaders Beaten In Sunday Twinbills Daniel's 26th homer and R. C.

By GENE BRYANT United Press' International The Pacific Coast league, embroiled in one of the tight est pennant races in its his tory, headed into the last three week of play today with little likelihood that any of the three clubs still in title contention will break away from the pack before the sea son ends. Both Phoenix and San Diego, the loop's first two clubs, blew their chance to gain on one another Sunday by dropping double-headers to a pair of second division teams. Cellar-dwelling Seattle, which had lost 14 straight through Friday, rose up to whack the Giants twice, 4-2 and 7-6, marking the Rainiers' third straight win over the league - leaders. San Diego's Padres stumbled in their ef fort to overtake the Giants by dropping 5-3 and 3-1 de cisions to sixth-place Spokane as the California club remain ed two games out of first.

The split moved Van couver to within a game of the Padres and three of the Giants. In other games, Salt Lake and Sacramento split a pair, the Bees winning the seven inning opener, 2-1, and the So lons taking the nightcap, 13-4. . Eddie Basinski singled home the winning run with two out in the eighth inning of the second game at Seattle to give the Rainiers a sweep for the day. The home club had knotted the score at 6-6 with a two-run burst in the seventh to send the contest into overtime. Zanni Defeated The Rainiers won the open er behind the six-hit pitching of Rookie Claude Osteen, who had a shutout going for 8 2-3 innings. The win gave Osteen a 2-3 record, while saddling Phoenix starter Dom Zanni with his ninth setback against 13 victories. Seattle won the series, three games to one. Spokane led all the way in the first game against San Diego to give Art Fowler, the first of three Indian pitchers, his 13th win of the season. Hisel Patrick, who retired the 11 batters he faced, came on in the sixth to put down a Padre rally and preserve the win for Fowler. Connie Grob smashed a two-run homer in the second inning of the abbreviated nightcap to win his own game. Grob allowed the Padres only three hits. The clubs split the series, two games each. At Portland, the Mounties scored single runs ' in the sixth and seventh innings of the finale to win their only tilt of the four-game set with the Beavers, who now have taken nine of the last 11 games. The Canadians collect ed 14 safeties to Portland's 10. Bob Di Pietro, George Freese and Frank Kellert all homered for the losers. The Beavers scored eight runs in the first three innings of the opener, then coasted to an easy victory as John Buz- hardt scattered 10 hits to pick up his sixth win. Di Pietro smashed a pair of four-bag gers, while Kellert, Alex Co midas and Jack Littrell hit one apiece. George Perez turned in a three-hitter in the first game at Salt Lake to give the Bees their second win the last 10 starts. Jim McDaniel homered for the winners. Sacramento retaliated with a 17-hit attack in the nightcap to take the series, three games to one. Pete Mesa went the route for the Solons, scatter Covington.

Cincinnati swept a doubleheader from Pittsburgh, 4-3 and 7-5, while Los Angeles earned a split by taking the nightcap, 9-3, after St. Louis won the open er, 12-7. Juan Pizarro's four -hit pitching and Frank Torre's grand-slam homer off Don Cardwell gave the Braves their opening-game victory, and in the nightcap, Lew Bur dette hurled a five-hitter for his 13th triumph. Wes Cov ington hit his 22nd homer and also scored the decisive run on Johnny Logan's perfect squeeze bunt in the fourth in ning. r Six home runs were hit in the Red Sox-Yankee game but perhaps even more significant were the three singles and a double by Ted Williams that sent his average up to .316. Homer Wins Game Earl Battey's eighth-inning homer off Jim Grant broke a 2-2 tie between the White Sox and Indians. Lefty Billy Pierce gave up nine hits in posting his 13th victory. Connie Johnson of the Orioles hurled a three-hitter and produced a sacrifice fly that brought in the winning run in the fifth inning. Brooks Robinson slid home with the deciding run after second baseman Herb Plews of the Senators caught Johnson's pop-up in short right field. The four-hitter pitching of ex-reliefer Bob Grim and a three-run homer "by Harry Chiti helped the A's sweep their three-game series from the Tigers. A total of seven home runs were hit in the Giants-Cubs game but it was Willie Mays 21st homer with two on in the fourth that proved the pay off blow. The wallop gave San Francisco an 8-4 lead after which Ernie Banks clout ed his 38th homer with one on in the sixth. Bobby Thom son hit two homers. Pirate Hopes Drop The two victories by the Redlegs dropped the Pirates into third place, nine games off the pace, and just about made them forget any pos sible pennant notions they may have entertained. Jerry Lynch of the Redlegs, a one-time Pirates, was the man who hurt Pittsburgh most. His third hit in the opener was a ninth-inning single that drove in the win ning run and he collected two more hits in the finale, in cluding a two-run homer. Stan Musial had four hits while Ken Boyer and Del Ennis each drove in three runs to help the Cards beat the Dodgers in the opener. Danny McDevitt, recently re called from the minors, held the Cards to six hits, in the second game. Roy To Be Riled Texan In Tussle BY ROY HARRIS (Written For UPI) Arrowhead Springs, Calif., (ITD Some folks have been saying I'm not "mean" enough, but I promise you'll see a riled up Texan in the fight with Floyd Patterson! Floyd Patterson. I want the heavyweight ti tle, want it bad. And more than that I guess I've got to prove some things to the so called "experts" who have made me such an underdog. I am certain that I can lick Patterson and take the cham pionship back to Cut'n Shoot. Ready For 15 Rouads ' I've trained for the full dis tance, but I certainly can win it sooner. I know I have the punch to knock out Patterson or any other man alive if I land it right. I think my right hand will give Patterson a lot of trouble. It is what's called in the box ing trade "sneaky" fast. I think Patterson is open for body punches from what I've seen of him on television, and I'm sure I can beat him to the punch if he tries that "ga zelle" business leaping off his feet to throw long ones. Take What Comes Actually, though, I'm not going into this fight with any, hard and fast strategy. He's been a long time between bouts, and he may have a tered his style, although it is pretty hard to make any real big change in the way you've learned to fight. But it is better to adjust .to the way your opponent fights. Then you can't get into at trap when he doesn't do what you expect. People ask if I'm losing any sleep thinking about the fight. I can honestly say I've never slept so much or so well in my life as I have in the training camp. Oh, I think and plan a little bit when I first lie down, but then I just "knock him out" and concentrate on getting to sleep. It seems I never have much trouble. Of course, you can win 'em all when you're only mind fighting. But I think I can make it come out the same way when I get Patterson into that ring for real.

How ever, none of these have been league workhorses and have pitched far fewer innings than the heavy duty twirlers.
