A selection of simple kinematic variables chosen to be sensitive to different aspects of {ital t{anti t}} production in W + {>=} 3 jets events are studied. Monte Carlo comparisons are made between different top generators (Herwig, Pythia, and Isajet) and a QCD background generator (VECBOS). Finally, Monte Carlo predictions with the {ital t{anti t}} fraction constrained by the SVX {ital b}-tagging rate and measured top mass are compared with 110 pb{sup -1} of CDF data. We conclude that the CDF data is consistent with standard predictions using the studied generators
