Phils Lose Ground in National Race
Phils Los Reds, Cards Push Leader As Bucs Win
(By United Press International)
The Philadelphia Phillies may not be lost because they hesitated but they sure have created a free-for-all.
First it was the Cincinnati Reds who barged back into the National League pennant race and now it's the St. Louis Cardinals who have moved back into a position which must be reckoned with.
Things were getting pretty sticky for the Phillies 24 hours ago but today they know the meaning of the old refrain that "three's a crowd."
THAT'S BECAUSE it's getting mighty crowded up around first place in the N.L. with both the Reds and the Cardinals pressing in behind the Phillies and creating all sorts of mathematical combinations that could "rob" the Phillies of their first flag since 1950.
The Phillies had an opportunity to restore their lead to four games when they played the Milwaukee Braves last night while the Reds were idle. It was the kind of opportunity to which the New York Yankees would have responded by slaughtering somebody 18-0, but, alas, the Phillies blew a 5-3 decision to the Milwaukee Braves.
That enabled the Reds to move up within three games of the Phillies while they sat around their hotel rooms and also provided the Cardinals with the chance to cut their first-place deficit to only $3 \frac{1}{2}$ games by sweeping a doubleheader from the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 and 4-0.
And now all at once the two fast-flying pursuers are counting their blessings—the chance to get at the front-runners face to face before the season is over. The Reds have two games left to play with the Phillies and the Cardinals have three. If nothing else, this means the Phillies can't back in. They've got to beat their closest pursuers or blow the flag.
THE PHILLIES dropped their fourth straight game and sixth in their last seven outings in a fashion that has become typical in recent days—they hit too little and too late.
Two triples by Joe Torre — the first in the second inning and the second in the eighth — drove in three of the runs that created a 5-0 Milwaukee lead and negated a desperation three-run Philadelphia rally in the last of the eighth. The losing pitcher was Jim Bunning, the veteran who so often had been the Phillies' "stopper" this season. Wade Blasingame went 7 1/3 innings to pick up his seventh win of the season.
BOB GIBSON scattered nine hits and struck out 11 to raise his season total to a club record of 232 for the Cardinals in the first game and Ray Sadecki came back in the nightcap with a five-hitter and 10 strikeouts to raise his record to 19-10. Curt Flood had five hits and Lou Brock and Mike Shannon homered to lead the Cardinals' offense during the doubleheader.
Ron Santo's ninth-inning sacrifice fly climaxed a two-run rally and gave the Chicago Cubs a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles.

Big Eight Roundup
I-State Boss Worried
(By United Press International)
The Kansas State Wildcats held their first contact yesterday since the Wisconsin game Saturday and other Big Eight teams worked a polishing techniques while Iowa State Coach Clay Stapleton complained of "very poor practices back to back."
At Manhattan, the Wildcats scrimmaged with equal time given to offense and defense.
At Ames, Coach Stapleton said his team would have to be in a better frame of mind if it hopes to stay in the game with Oklahoma State tomorrow.
OKLAHOMA STATE worked out in sweatclothes at Stillwater yesterday, rehearsing all phases of the game, particularly offense. Coach Phil Cutchin said Cyclone linebackers John Berrington and Mike Cox are "two of the best . . . we'll face."
At Lincoln, Coach Bob Devaney and his staff refined plans for platoon football because "we were afraid other teams would be able to take advantage of us if we didn't go to the two platoons."
The Missouri Tigers rambled through plays and practice kickoffs at Columbia, but there was no scrimmage, and the top three passers had trouble hitting receivers.
AT NORMAN, the Oklahoma team polished its offense for an hour in a final workout in preparation for the Southern California game.
faloes' lineup for the home opener against Oregon State. He said Bill Sabatino was moved into the No. 1 defensive tackle slot in place of two-year-letterman Tom Lund, who injured his ankle in Colorado's 21-0 loss last week to Southern California.
Expressing concern over the growing list of key injuries, KU Coach Jack Mitchell said, "Mike Shinn, Ron Oelschlager and now Bill Gerhards are out with injuries. When we meet Syracuse we're going to need every good player we have, and those three are fine football players."
Colorado Coach Eddie Crowder announced one change in the Buf-
Gerhards, the No. 1 fullback, was still listed in questionable condition and will not start at Syvacuse.
The burden of the fullback duties fell on sophomore Dick Bacon and senior John Garber, whose real position is guard.
