Phil Rizzuto leads YanksJo H i \i \ p twin Triumphs j'New York, May 5 — (UP) Joc key-steed ; Phil Rizzuto, who , Ibofcs like he could sit in for EdJiie Arcaro any time his pal is , (oo busy to ride the Kentucky peVhy winner, ; was making the . Yafkees look Tike world champs Jgalh today. L The 33-year-old shbrtstQp, who was supposed.tq be slowing up, is ">;qyntezlng along like the yeastlest youngster in thef, majors. With Flippin’ PhiL as the mainspring in imosit of them, the Yankeeh are making double plays at a fantah[clip — 30 so far or twjce as ay, as any other team ip the The Red Sox are next with <f the Yankees keep going at L pace they’lll break every douplay record’ln the books, long )re the season ends, lit that’s only part of the story, terday, as the Yankees clipped IWhite Sox, 8 to O and 3 to 1, siito got a triple and single in firkt game, a triple* and double - in the second game, boosting his 9yer(ige to .342; ! • ’ IThie Yankees made five double lays} for the day pniLßizzuto figred in four. In the first inning qf the ppenerl after being- trapped , o£f third base, he lured catcher I Phil Maki into a foot-rartv. The Cb>|c4go catcher tried to beat Ph|l bsiek to third and looked foolish « as he finished a poor second. While that vjfs going on, Irv Noren. who could have been thrdwn odt at first on a ground ball, had hotfooted it all the way to second. It was (he start of a fopr-run rally which blew the game wide open. Youngsters Tom Morgan anti Tsjll pitched strong-armed gainejs to igive- the Yankees the tWifi wini Morgan yielded six hitfs before-. going put in |the opener with a' torn finger-nail in the seventh.

*'■■;’■ I - ■ ■. • — Today's Sport Parade ( ° (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) | By Oscar Fraley • New York. May 5—(UP) — Tpe plane seemed to hang motionless in the silvery velvet of the night and the moon peeped softly through the oblong window as the little man sank back into his seat with a weayy sigh. "I'm tired and I still feel a little sick," Eddie Arcaro said. Growing miles behind.) merry and disconsolate thousands were celebrating or bemoaning the Kentucky derby triumph of a horse called Hill Gail. And winging toward New \ ork in the hushed semi-darkness of this cabin in the sky. the little who liiode him into a hat full of was glad td be flying home. i Only a/ few hours earlier, tiny Eddie ha(l crouched "high up on the, i neck of a wing-footed eolt and\ flown down 1 a tunnel of cheers to his fifth derby victory. But this wasn’t the cockily confident figure in flashing devil’s red silks who so recently had been the target?-.of thousands of eager eyes. They all 1 knew him then. But now he was just another obscure passenger, his identity hidden by a plain brown business suit and the gloom. It was a delightful solitude. “I was sick all night before the race," he Revealed softly without opening his eyes' "I guess it was something I ate. Anyhow, I dfib»t sleep a prink.” "Well, it was a' good day’s work for a guy who wasnt£ feeling well,” the fellow with him said. “As far as money goes, yes.” Eddie replied, sitting up and snapping open his eyes. “But money isn’t everything. It seems that' going home like, this you, should Jiavej a cup or a trophy or something with you." The derby powers this year began an annual custom of presenting the winning jockey Avith a replica of. the big derby cup. But it goes to the previous year’s victor. “I saw the one they gave McCreary today,” Arcaro said vtiih Apparent envy of tiny pome-fronvbe-hind Conn, who won the race last year. “It was a real beauty and I wish they’d start giving t|en) for stakes like the Preakness and Belmont. \ “Os all the derbies I*vle won and the records I|ve set) I haven’t got a thing to show for it,’* he added regretfully. “I don’t keep a scrapbook, but I’d sure like to have something i for the mantle-piece. Well, next year I’ll get the derby cup anyhpvf—if I’m alive.” Across the aisle a form reared up put of the sem|-darkness|. This was a tiny: figure, teo. another of the little men in', silks named Ted Atkinson? ! “I’d just like to win it once, cup or no eupi” he interrupted in a voice tinged with the bitterness of another derby defeat. - ' They all leaned back then, closing their eyes and riding the of the F»y in the privacy of their thoughts. Then, as the plane glided in Io LaGuardia field, alighted quickly to see Arcaro’s wife with a few friends; and a little thrbepiece band which discordantly ground out the strains of “My Old Kentucky Home.” Atkinson stepped swiftly into the night. Arcaro kissed* his wife and told her: “I’m glad they played that. Now let's us go home.” They did, which is how Eddie Arcaro celebrated riding a fifth derby winner for a record that probably will never be touched. 'i i ■ r | . ) - : , '-U
