OREGON PAGSTJN Retriever Trial Winners Chosen tows Face F5ra Test By BEN PULEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer The Milwaukee Braves have eight days left to get back into the National League pennant light. Alter that it will be too late. The big tests start tonight when Philadelphia moves into County Stadium in Milwaukee for the first of three games. Then comes New York for two gomes and Brooklyn for four. A sweep would make the Braves dangerous contenders. A misstep anywhere along the path could be the end. Last week should be edged in black on Milwaukee calendars. Only seven days ago the Braves were a mere 3'2 games out of the lead and owned a nine-game win ning streak. Then came lour losses In six games and now they're Tj behind. Although faced with a real battle to stay in first division, the Phillies have had a lot to say already about the positions of the first two teams in the pennant race. In the last week, for example, they personally added three games to the Giants' edne over Brooklyn by beating the Dodgers three games and losing three to the Giants. Milwaukee holds a 9-8 edge over New York and a 10-6 bulge over the Dodgers so far. But against the Phillies the Braves only have been able to break even at 8-8.

Muslal, setting his sights on his seventh National League batting title, boosted his average to .348 and now trails Brooklyn's Duke Snider by one point. Snider, who hnd a 27-polnt bulge July 5, Is hitting .340. Minoso, swinging in at a. 334 clip, also moved to within one point of Ihc American League leader, Irv Noren of the Yankees, Noren, cur rently batting .335, enjoyed a 40- polnt advantage July 27. While Snider lost four points, Muslal was gaining nine last week. The Dodger outfielder went 7-for- 21 and Muslal 12-for-23. Figures In clude Monday s games. Don Mueller of the Giants re. mains In contention at .335, third best in the senior circuit, Muel ler's average failed to change as he had nine hits in 26 at bats. Noren, with 6-for-27 saw his average dwindle 10 points. Mean while, Minoso collected 12 hits in 20 trips for an eight-point in crease. Cleveland's Bobby Avila, the early season pace-setter, is back in a challenging position with a .327 mark. The third-ranking Avila going 10-for-27, picked up three points.

Although disappointed over his team's showing against the red-hot Red Sox, Stengel said It wasn't the lack of hustle that caused the Yan kees' demise. "I never saw a team try so hard as this one did in Boston. These guys have been putting out all sea son. When you lose two men like Slaughter and Woodling because they ran Into walls chasing flies, you know the effort Is there." Stengel's morale received a much needed boost late yesterday when he learned that Woodling probably would return to action in two weeks. When he hurt his wrist. at Fenway Park on Saturday, it was feared Gene would be lost for the rest of the campaign. . Three more of Casey's Invalids will be available for tonight's game against Baltimore. Jim McDonald has recovered from a groin injury, Hank Bauer from a pelvis ailment and Allie Reynolds' right knee Is sound again.

Relaxing In the quiet of his hotel room, the ex-major league catcher says quietly of the Indians' S'r game league lead: "We're still playing each game as it comes along. We're letting tomorrow take care of Itself while we concentrate on today." That's been the philosophy of the soft-spoken Lopez ever since the Indians went into first place early in the summer and clung there tenaciously despite a dogged drive by the five-time world champion New York Yankees. Lopez thought awhile when ask ed about the physical condition of the club and then replied: "We're In fine shape except for George Slrirkland. who still has his Jaw wired up. He's been throw ing a little and jogging and taking some batting practice and It won't be too long before he 11 be ready to play a few innings."
