Braves, Spahn Win; Aaron Drives in Four
Milwaukee had a two-game lead today and heroes by the handful but all of them were overshadowed by Hammerin, Hank Aaron, who all but nailed down the flag himself single-handedly last night.
The 22-year-old Aaron, making a spectacular bid for the most valuable player award, was little short of magnificent in leading the Braves to a twi-light doubleheader sweep over the batting Philies last night.
Aaron drove in four runs and was such a standout that he easily eclipsed such other developments as Warren Spahn registering the 200th victory of his career.
Robin Roberts started the night-cap for the Phils but gave way after 11 innings and Ben Flowers was charged with the loss.
Redlegs Win
The third-place Cincinnati Redlegs gained a half game on the idle second-place Brooklyn Dodgers with a 5-4 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Joe Nuxhall gained his 12th win in relief while Roy Face was the loser.
In the only other National League game, Vinegar Bend Mizell of the Cardinals pitched his second straight shutout to defeat the Giants, 5-0. Rip Repulski and Ken Boyer each homered while a pair of ex-Giants, Whitey Lockman and Ray Katt, drove in the other three runs between them.
Yanks Whip A's
The Yankees, continuing their cawkwalk to the American League flag, defeated the Athletics, 3-2, to move 11 games in front again. Mickey Mantle's 48th homer in the third inning, his first circuit this month, turned out to be the winning run.
Left-hander Billy Pierce of the White Sox became the American League's first 20-game winner with a 10-inning 4-3 victory over the Red Sox.
Two homers by Gus Triandos, his 17th and 18th of the campaign, paced the Orioles to a 4-1 decision over the second-place Indians.
Ray Boone hammered out four hits and Paul Foytack hurled five-hit ball in leading the Tigers to their seventh straight victory, a 7-2 win over the Senators.
Musial Won't Stop Without 3,000 Hits
"Getting 3,000 hits is the one big aim I have left," he said. "When I finally get that one I will have had enough. But that should take me until somewhere around 1958.
NEW YORK, (UP)—Stan Musial of the Cardinals said today he plans to retire in 1958 after he achieves his goal of becoming the seventh player in modern baseball history to collect 3,000 hits.
Strauch Tops Pass Threats
Kansas quarterback Wally Strauch is one of eight returning passers from last year's Big Seven Top Ten. He finished second to Missouri quarterback Gene Doane, at 488. Doane's winning total was 774. Behind them were Jim Hunter, Missouri, third, 397; Dick Hyson, Colorado, fourth, 358; Don Erway, Nebraska, sixth, 312; Tommy McDonald, Oklahoma, seventh, 265; Bob Stranski, Colorado, ninth, 163, and Willie Greenlaw, Nebraska, at 163.
Coach Chuck Mather alternated his top four teams Thursday in a rugged scrimmage session, giving each unit equal time on offense and defense, as he attempted to smooth out the Jayhawk's attack for the season opener against Texas Christian Sept. 22.
Hawks Polish TCU Attack
Marvin Moles, a reserve who has been hampered by injuries during most of the fall, was given a shot at the first string full-back spot as the KU coach continued to experiment in an attempt to find a capable player for the spot.
Mather showed indications of starting to focus a defense for TCU, but plans to taper off heavy contact work today as the players ready for the full scale scrimmage scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
A squad of 72 freshmen reported to the first workout yesterday, showing both size and speed. For the first time since Mather took over the reins at Kansas three years ago, Massillon failed to have a representative on the squad.
Injured Cats Back In Action
MANHATTAN' Kan.—(UP)— Kansas State College gridders stayed away from heavy scrimmage yesterday in coach Bus Mertes' attempt to avoid injuries.
Mertes switched his forces to kicking drills and dummy patterns.
Back for action yesterday was sophomore center Chuck Sprinkle, who was severely bruised early this week, and Jim Luzinski, sophomore end.
Luzinski, who ran through plays, is still favoring an injured ankle. Also back in the fold was sophomore tackle Gene Meier.
Tiger Fullback Returns
COLUMBIA, Mo., (UP)—A 196-pound Raytown, Mo., backfall returned to action yesterday to give Missouri football coach Don Faurot more depth at the backfill slot.
Joe Wynn re-injured a weak ankle before practice started and for a time it was thought he might be out for the season.
Sophomore guard Charlie Rash, on whom Faurot is counting for most of the season's placement kicking, worked out without pads.
Deadline Near For Intramurals
The Tigers spent most of their sesion yesterday running plays against a six-man line and goal line charges against a five-man line forward wall.
Organizations that plan to participate in intramural sports and haven't taken the necessary first steps had better act soon. Time is running out.
A team manager must be selected and he in turn should go to the intramural office in room 107, Robinson Gym and leave his name so that his team will receive all intramural information. The intramural office will assist him in organization, working out practice sessions, and help him with any problems he may have. Entry blanks for all sports may be picked up at the office.
The deadline for all entries is Thursday, Sept. 20. On the same date a meeting of all managers and team captains will be held is 4 p.m. in room 204, Robinson Gym. The schedule will be drawn up following the meeting and competition will start Monday, Sept. 24 or Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Athletic events included on the fall intramural program are touch football, singles and doubles in tennis, handball, horseshoes, golf, and badminton.
The touch football teams will play a round robin schedule. Champions in the other sports will be decided by a single elimination tournament.
Trophies are awarded to winners of each division of each sport and one trophy is awarded to the Hill champion. Championships in each sport will be decided by November 15.
Kansas' annual first-game opponent, Texas Christian, ran up three straight victories three times before the 1956 game.
