Tension Mounts As Braves, Bums Rest
By UNITED PRESS
Fred Haney says the Braves will clinch by Sunday, Walt Alston says the Dodgers will battle their way into a playoff and Casey Stengel say "c'mon anybody," because his Yankees are restless and eager to get the World Series started.
All clubs in the majors had an off-day today and no one was enjoying it more than Haney, whose Braves boast a full game lead with only three left to play.
Dodgers See Playoff
"We're going to win it by Sunday," beamed the little Milwaukee skipper. "We're not going to need any playoff."
Reckoning Milwaukee's final three games with St. Louis and his own club's last three games with Pittsburgh, the Dodger pilot declared:
"We'll win three from the Pirates, the Braves will lose one to the Cards and the season will open here all over again next Monday."
Robin Roberts, who racked up his 19th victory, was the one who did the Dodgers dirt yesterday even though he was tagged for a pair of homers by Duke Snider. Roberts limited Brooklyn to five hits in winning 7-3.
While Haney and Alston were laying last-ditch pennant plans, Stengel and his Yankees were hoping they would hurry and get it over with that they, themselves, don't lose their edge standing around during a possible National League pennant playoff.
Nieder Rounding Into Shot Put Form
Bill Nieder, former KU track and field great, is rapidly regaining his shot put form since his knee injury last summer.

A SLIPPERY BASS — Leading COP's ground attack Saturday will be Dick Bass, who averaged over 12 yards a carry in high school, in freshman ball, and against Colorado A&M. Besides being a top notch runner, Bass is also rated as an outstanding pass receiver.
