Reds Boast 4-Game Edge FRED HUTCHINSON . . . foot in door Preseason. Slate Over For NFL By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The next time the National Foot ball League teams go on the field it will be for keeps. The 37-game exhibition sched ule was completed over the week end, with Detroit, Philadelphia Green Bay, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore and Chicago winning their final tuneup games And it may be sheer coincidence that six of these victors were in the Western Conference last sea son. Only two teams escaped un scathed during the long pre-sca-son schedule The league cham pion Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay, the 1960 western divi sion champions. Green Bay won its fourth in a row Saturday night, exploding for 17 points in the third quarter to defeat the Washington Redskins 31-24. The Eagles romped over the St. Louis Cardinals the same night 27-0. It was the Redskins' fifth straight loss, matching the pre season record of the new Minneso ta Vikings. The Minnesota entry was a victim of its own mistakes in dropping a 21-17 verdict to the Los Angeles Rams Sunday. The most impressive individual showing in the final games was that of Johnny Unitas of Balti more, who fired five touchdown passes as the Colts overwhelmed the New York Giants 49-20 Sunday at New Haven, Conn. Adding to the Giants' woes was the possibil ity their veteran quarterback, ; Charlie Connerly, may. have suf fered a Fractured nose early in ihe' game. The Cleveland Browns, runner up in the Eastern Conference last season, bowed to the Detroit Lions Saturday for the second time, 35-17. The Detroit defense held the Browns' running attack to zero net yards in the first half. The Lions beat the Browns a month ago 35-7. Quarterback Sonny Jurgensen continued to shine for the cham pion Eagles as he passed for two touchdowns to veteran Tommy McDonald. The Eagles s h p w e d their usual rugged defense, con taining the Cardinal ground game and bottling up passers Charlie Johnson and Sam Etcheverry. Quarterback Bill Kilmer ran and passed like a veteran as the San Francisco 49ers romped over the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night 24-7. The Cowboys were out played throughout. The Chicago Bears eked out a 24-21 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday night to bring their pre-season record to 3-2. It was Pittsburgh's third loss in five starts. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sprinkle a little pitching they can't hit at 'em and win more than your share of the close ones. This has been philosophy of base ball experts for carving penna.it winners for many vears. It's true the Cincinnati Reds haven't yet nailed down the Na tional League flag, but today they've got a big foot in the door, boasting a four-game lead. There's every indication that somewhere along the line Manager Fred Hutchinson has convinced his troops of this age-old philosophy. Take Sunday, for example. The Reds completed the sweep of a three-game set with the St. Louis Cardinals. They threw a little pitching at 'em. Bob Purkey held the Redbirds to two singles, and Wally Post contributed a three- un homer, his 18th, and the Reds had a 5-2 victory. During the Reds first two tills with the Cards. Cincinnati won extra-inning thrillers, the 30th and 31th one-run triumphs scored by the Reds. The Reds' weekend mastery over St. Louis, coupled with San rranciscos three-game sweep Heat's On Yank Sluggers over second-place Los Angeles, had the rest of the league mum bling "it's all over but the shout ing." For Sa:OFrancisco, the weekend topped oft by Sunday's 7-1 victory, brought sweet revenge. Two years ago. the Giants appeared headed foitthe NL pennant. The Dodgers struck them down in the season's dying days and went on to wi,i the title and the World Series. Elsewhere in the NL, third place Milwaukee kept its faint pennant hopes alive by edging the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Warren Spahn s pitching, and the Phila delphia Phillies exploded for 13 runs in two innings to conquer the unicago ugos Reds 5, Cards 2 Purkey won his lfith game against 10 defeats jn conquering the Cardinals. He didn't allow a hit until the sixth when Julian Javier and Bill White singled. The Cards tied the count at 2-2 that inning but the Reds came right back with three tallies. Vada Pinson doubled and Frank Robin son singled and Post drove them in with his big blast. SI. Louis 000 002 Olio 2 2 0 Cmcinnaii 10O 013 OOx 5 9 1 Sadecki. Anderson (7. Mil ler i8i and Sawatski.

If you're going to break Babe Ruth's 1927 home run record, you'll have to increase the fre quency of your over-the-fence blasts. The pace you've set so far won't get the job done not quite. The cold figures are these, Rog: So far, you've played in 144 New York Yankee team decisions, 10 fewer than the Bambino need ed to set his record of 60. You ve been at bat officially 527 times with 56 homers, this means you've hit on the average of one every 9.41 times at bats. Commissioner Ford Frick has ruled that he'll consider the rec ord Broken otticiallv only H vou come up wih 61 in 154 team de- cisons, the same that Ruth re quired for his 60 homers. You've got 10 games to go and approx innately 40 times at bats. It's fairly safe to say they'll walk you at least once every four times, leaving only 30 times you'll get to aim for the fence. Needing five more homers, you've thus got to come up with one on an aver age of every six official appearances. It was downright rude of those Cleveland Indians Sunday not to give up at least one more homer toward your goal especially since it was your 27th birthday and es pecially since you and vour Yan kee teammates swept both ends of a doublcheader from the Tribe 7-6 and 9-3.

That was four better than the total for defending chamnion Smiley Quick of Los Angeles, who was second. day, hasn't even been able to scratch out a singles assignment the Down Under Davis Cup team. He has been used strictly as a doubles player. Darlene Hard did gain back a measure ol America s deteriorat ing international reputation by winning the women's title for the second straight year. She beat Ann Haydon of Britain, 6-3, 6-4, in just 47 minutes. . But as Darlene pointed out with a big grin: "I don't think I could pass the physical to play on the Davis Cup team." Emerson, for his part, said he hoped the title would give the Aus sie moguls some cause to consider him as a singles player. From the United States stand point, the Aussie lineup for the challenge round is purely academ For one thing, there is no as surance America will reach the challenge round. The chances arc it won't get by Italy in the semi final. Chuck McKinlcy, the big U.S hope, was knocked out early in the tournament. Dennis Ralston No. 2 on the list, is in the United States Lawn Tennis Association's doghouse and has been barred from playing until Jan. 1. One way or another, neither I Emerson nor Laver probably will be back next year. Emerson, with both the United Stales and Au stralian titles in his hip pocket, is in a position to start dickering with pro czar Jack Kramer.

Von Trips, a handsome German and leading contender for the 1961 world drivers' championships, was mashed to death beneath his red Ferrari on the second lap of the Grand Prix of Italy race. , The veering car rocketed through a guardrail at over 100 miles an hour and plowed into spectators jammed elbow to elbow. Other racers continued to roar around the super-speed track for two hours past the crumpled dead, sprawled at the trackside and cov ered with newspapers. Ambulanc es rushed 25 other victims to hospitals. The toll was greater than the accident in 1957 which doomed the Mille Miglia, long Italy's great and often blood-stained open road race.
