Braves Hold Narrow NL Lead as Cubs Rally Tightens Race
Milwaukee manager Fred Haney vented frustration after a 5-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs, arguing the Braves must wake up at the plate. Cincinnati and Brooklyn both won or split, but Milwaukee still leads the three-team race by a slim margin as the streaky offense keeps stalling. Haney noted the club has failed to score six runs since August 23 and stressed the need for runs and hits to avert a closing gap.

Kansas football backs show speed but lack power for Big Seven schedule
Kansas coach Chuck Mather works with a lean backfield led by Homer Floyd 170 plus, John Francisco 178, Ernie Runnell 174, and Bobby Marshall 190 while Jerry Baker 195 pounds is sidelined by a leg injury. Floyd excels in speed but lacks power, and depth behind him shows promise with Ray Lane and other players. The line defense is solid with a big, fast front, yet backfield size remains a concern as two weeks remain before the Sept. 22 opener against Texas Christian.
