mistier, Landy
ill Meet Again
In Switzerland
'VANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 9—UP
—Roger Bannister and John Lan-
'Jty, whose dramatic "mile of the
century" duel brought the British
Empire Games to a brilliant cli-
max Saturday, may meet in a re-
match in Switzerland later this
month
That possibility arose Monday
even as the track world was hail-
ing Saturday's race, won by the
loose-limbed, hard-finishing Ban-
nister in 3:58.8. as the greatest
mile race of all time.
The chance of a re-match came
In an announcement from the or-
ganizers of the European Games
at Berne, Switzerland, Aug. 25-29,
that they "will try to arrange an-
other 'mile of the century' in an
open post - championship meet
somewhere in Switzerland."
Bannister already is entered in
the European Games and is the fa-
vorite in the "metric mile," the
1,500 meter run. Landy, as an
Australian. isn't eligible to com-
pete bul plans to attend the games
as a spectator.
Their presence in Switzerland
and at the same time probably
would offer the last opportunity
for bringing the two stars together
igain — judging from statements
made by them Monday.
Bannister disclosed that, after
competing in the European
Games, he plans to do very little
competitive running at all. The
newly-graduated English doctor
said he is scheduled to start his
internship in a London hospital
soon and added, "There won't be
much time for running."
Landy. on the other hand, plans
to keep on running but doesn't
plan any more European or Amer-
ican trips.
"1 shall be doing most of my
running in the future in Austra-
lia," he said. He also plans to try
two miles and three miles bef'ausc
lie thinks he has "reached my
peak" as a milcr.
Bannister's 3:58.8 mile clocking
Saturday narrowly missed Landy's
world record of 3:58.0. But Landy.
running in front as they passed
the 1.500 meter mark, was timed
in 3:41.!) for that distance—more
than a second faster than the ex-
isting world record.

The Cleveland Indians' near-rec-
ord pace opened up a four-game
lead in the American League Mon- |
day and posed a startling new $64
question . Is it the New York j
Yankees who are folding this
time?
It's been the Indians who were
charged with sagging in the
stretch in the past, with the Yank-
ees coming on to win World Series
gold. But the Indians actually have
been stepping up their amazing
pace this year and they're travel-
ling faster than ever this month
With a .778 percentage.
The Indians made it seven vic-
tories in nine games this month
with 7 to 2 and 5 to 2 triumphs
over the Philadelphia Athletics
| Sunday, picking up a game and a
half when the Yankees bowed 1
to 8 for their second straight loss
to the Detroit Tigers. It was a bit-
j ter blow to the Yankees, who went
| West two weeks ago only a game
: and a half off the pace.
Across .700 Mark
Sunday's sweep also sent the In-
i dians back oyer the .700 mark in
won - and - lost percentage. Their
j current percentage of .704 is only
' 10 points behind the American
' League record of .714 set by the
1927 Yankees.
Bob Lemon hit a two-run homer
and pitched a seven-hitter to score
! his 15th victory for the Indians in
| the cpener while Art Houtteman
gained his 11th triumph with ;i six-
hitter in the nightcap. Larry
\ Dobv sent to a 3 to
j ... v.ie tirst inr.!.i:g of the
1 "•pent! g_me with his 26th homer
of the campaign — tops in the
i league.
The Tigers beat the Yankees for
! the second straight day when Jim
Delsing. a former New Yorker,
; hit a two-run pinch homer in the
10th inning. The blow handed John-
ny Sain his fourth loss and ended
a three-hour and 20-minute strug-
gle during which Mickey Mantle.
Gil McDougald and Ray Boone
also homered.
It was a day of heavy hitting
all over the majors and it reached
its peak when the Brooklyn Dodg-
; ers poured 13 runs over the plate
in the eighth inning to rout the
Cincinnati Redlegs 20 to 7 Nine
; teen batters went to the plate in
the big inning which gave Carl Kr-
skine his 14th win and enabled the
Dodgers to move within three
games of the first-place New York
Giants in the National League.
The Giants' losing streak mount-
j ed to four games when the red-hot
Milwaukee Braves swept the
three-game ^et with a 5 to 2 tri-
! umph behind the six-hit pitching
of Warren Spahn. The Braves ral-
| lied to win their 14th decision in
| 16 games.
White Sox Split Two
The White Sex. still hoping to
catch the Indians and Yankees, re-
bounded from a 7 to 6 loss to beat
the Washington Senators 3 to 0
and split their doubleheader Ro\
• Stevers hit his 20th and 21st hom-
ers for the Senators in the opener,
i the second one in the ninth inning
; to win the game.
The Boston Red Sox scored two
I runs with the aid of shortstop Bil-
ly Hunter's error to beat the Bal-
timore Orioles 4 to 2 in 11 innings
and then completed a sweep with
a 4 to 1 triumph as Frank Sulli-
van won his eighth game, in the
other American League contests.
Robin Roberts won his 17th
game and Herman Wehmeier his
fifth as the Philadelphia Phillies
downed the Chicago Cubs 8 to 4
and 8 to 3, and the last-place
Pittsburgh Pirates copped a dou-
bleheader from the St. Louis Car-
dinals for the second time in three
days with 12 to 4 and 5 to 3 tri-
umphs in the other National
League games.

!n Longhorn Loop
By UNITED PRESS
A pair of unearned runs in the
1 first inning gave Artesia the mar-
gin it needed to beat Carlsbad 3
to 1 in Longhorn League action
Sunday.
Roswell nipped Big Spring 5 to
1 and Midland blanked Odessa 6 to
0 in the only other games sched-
uled.
Wayne Goodall recorded his 15th

second. He took third on a wild
throw to center by Carlsbad's
catcher. Goodall then doubled te
score Smartt. Artesia got its fine
run in the fifth.
Key relief pitching by Evelio Her-
nandez enabled Roswell to go past
Big Spring. Hernandez, who pitch-
ed 12 innings against Artesia Fri-
day night, came on in the eighth to
quell a Roswell rally that had tied
the game at 4-all. Roswell scored
the winning run in the bottom of
the eighth when Weldcn Day tri-
pled to center, then scored on a
grounder by Dixon Bell.
Julio Ramos hurled a three-hit-
ter to give Midland the shutout vic-
tory over Odessa. The Indians'

CHICAGO, Aug. " —UP— The
field was half-way home in Tam
O'Shanter's double barreled golf
tournaments Monday, with veteran
Jerry Barber of La Canada, Calif.,
richer by S3,420, but the big pay-
off was still to come.
Barber, a 38-year-old who hadn't
won a tournament since the Wil-
mington open last year, engineer-
ed a three under par 69 on his fi-
nal round Sunday to come home
with 277, 11 under par, ir. ihe final
round of the "All American" Open
and pick up the top tab.
But Barber, and all the rest of
the field, would have been more
willing to settle for the top award,
which could reach $150,000, in the
"World" event which will open
Thursday with virtually the same
field.
i The victor in that 72-hole tangle
will get S50.000 cash, and a con-
tract for 100 exhibitions at $1,000
i per show.
Barber triumphed for the pre-
liminary award with a comc-from-
behind round. He started the day
two strokes behind the leader, Pe-
ter Thomson, the British Open
champion from Australia.
But after nine holes had been
completed it was Gene Littler, a
rookie from Palm Springs, Calif.,
in front, and Barber on his trail.
Barber moved ahead on the 15th.
Littler took second money of
$2,360 with a 72 for 278, while
Thomson gained third with a 73
for 279.
.359 The win gave Barber earnings
.307 of $14,867 for the year, among the
.3011 top five on the tourney tour.
.284 ! Babe Zaharias, Chicago, won
.284 her fifth women's pro title.
.280 She had a one under par 75 on
.268 the final day for a 294 total, the
.227 j record for the "All American,"
.079 but one stroke higher than the 293
she registered in winning the
Pet. | "World" event in 1951. Her prize
.417 | was $1,000.

Set In National
AAU Swim Meet
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 9—'
UP—The record books took a beat-
ing Monday after a four-day on-
slaught in the National AAU men s
and women's swimming and div-
ing championships which brought
one new world mark and nine
American records.
North Carolina state dethroned
the New Haven, Conn., Swim Club
with 54 points for the men's title,
and a powerful Walter Heed Hos-
pital team from Washington, D C.,
far outdistances the women's field
with 89 points.
Two triple-winners and four dou-
ble-winners were crowned in Sat-
urday's and Sunday's sessions.
Carolyn Green of ti'ie Fort Lauder-
dale, Fla., Swim Association,
splashed to her third victory in the
all-girl Sunday session by cracking
her own American and AAU rec-
ords in the 800-meter freestyle in
10:49.9.
Her clocking bettered by nearly
seven seconds the record she set
a few hours earlier in qualifica-
tions. Before that, she copped the
1,500-meter and 400-meter free-
| style events.
| Pat McCormick of the Los An-
j geles Athletic Club became the
{ other triple winner when she took
! the three-meter diving crown with
j 563.9 points, the one-meter and
platform diving crowns.
The double winners included 16-
| year-old Shelley Mann of Walter
I Reed who eclipsed American and
j meet records with a 1:17.5 clock-
j ing in the 100-meter backstroke
j and set automatic American and
| meet records in the 100-meter but-
terfly with 1:17.
In the men's events, double-win-
ner Ford Konno lost in his bid for
a third crown Saturday when fel-
low Hawaiian Bill Woolsey upset
him in the 400-meter Ireestyle
race. Woolsey, an Indiana Univer-
sity sophomore, was four-tenths of
j a second ahead of "The Fish" with
I a 4:42.1 clocking.
