Yankees Break Losing Streak By 10 Victory I By FRED DOWN United Press International z I An 0.83 earned run average and ; a string of- 31 1-3 consecutive i scoreless innings stamp Ryne Duren today as the fellow who may yet save the New York Yankees’ hide and pride. Casey Stengel called him “my guy” after Duren saved Tuesday night’s 1-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians and it’s obvious no Yankee manager ever has relied . so heavily on a relief pitcher since Buqy Harris toasted Joe Page in wine and song back in 1947. No American League relief pitcher ever has won a most valuable player award but Duren could be the first to do so. His 1-2 woo-lost record is completely deceptive, of course, because he is credited with eight “saves” , and the he is pitching he could wind up setting two new league records. With his string of consecutive scoreless innings, Duren is getting into position to threaten Walter 1 Johnson’s 46-year-old record of 56 1 straight. And Ryne’s current 0.83 1 e.r.a. is considerably lower than 1 the 45-year-old league -mark of 1 1.01 held by H. B. (Dutch) Leon- 1 ard of the Boston Red Sox. 1 ] Protects One-Run Lead Duren did it again Tuesday night when Stengel hustled him ] out of the bullpen to protect the ] one-run Yankee lead which exist- j ed since the second inning. Ryne , faced eight men, walked one, allowed one hit and struck out three to protect Whitey Ford’s first victory in three weeks and ninth of year. The victory braked the Yankees’ five-game losing streak and also enabled the Chicago White Sox to move with two percentage points of the Indians via their 7-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City Athletics, 3-1, after a , 1-0 defeat and the Washington Senators downed the Detroit Ti- j gers, 4-2, in the other A.L. games. ] First-place San Francisco was ; rained out in the National League but neither of the two principal contenders could take ; advantage of it. The Chicago Cubs ‘ whipped the Milwaukee Braves, ’ 10-5, and the Pirates < romped over the Low Angeles 1 Dodgers, 9-U,’The St, 1 flnuis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, * 6-5, in 11 innings and ended Don ’ Newcombe’s eight-game streak. Bobby Richardson, who had 1 driven in only seven runs all sea- ■ son, singled home the only run of the Yankee-Indian game off Herb 1 Score in the second inning. Score had walked Elston Howard to start the inning and the New York first-baseman went to second on an infield out. Pierce Squares Record Billy Pierce squared his record at 10-10 as the White Sox banged out 13 hits including a homer by John Romano and a two-run single by red-hot rookie Jim McAnany. Milt Pappas pitched a fivehitter and drove in a run with a single to win his 10th game for Baltimore after Ray Herbert’s

White Sox And Yanks Win In Little League 8 The White Sox came from be- £ hind to edge the Red Sox, 11-9, and the Yankees whipped the Indians. ( 11-2, in the Decatur Little League double header at Worthman field « Tuesday night. The Red Sox scored six runs in the first inning for an early 6-0 lead in the opener. The runs scored on only two hits, plus five bases on balls. The White Sox whittled away at their deficit, and came ’ up with three runs in the fourth to earn a 9-9 tie. The winning margin , came in the sixth when the White Sox scored twice on one hit, a fielder’s choice and two errors. . The Red Sox made a bid in the last of the sixth, but after filling the bases on two hits and a walk, the next two batters were retired on strikeouts to end the game. The Yankees scored in all but one inning in the nightcap for their easy win. The league leaders poupded out 12 hits, were given five walks, and were aided by four Indian errors. Bob Mies, Yankees hurler, had, a no-hitter for five innings, but Tommy Blythe opened the. final inning with a clean double. An error, another hit and a fielder’s choice were good for two I ’ runs. 1 Another double header is scheduled Friday night, with the Red Sox meeting the Tigers at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Indians and White Sox.

Russian, U.S. Track Squads In Dual Meel PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Russia’s track and field team, hampered by heavy rains and equipment difficulties, hoped today to ' get in its first full practice session since arriving in this country i for a dual meet with American athletes this week end. , The 69 men and women track stars, along with 15 Soviet officials and interpreters accompanying them, went sightseeing this morning before reporting to Franklin Field where the meet will be held Saturday and Sun- , day. The Russians have had less than five hours of practice since 1 leaving the Soviet Union last Saturday. They stopped off in Belgium Sunday for a sightseeing tour, arrived in New York Monday morning and came here by bus. They got in about 90 minutes of practice late Monday afternoon but the performers were forced to lounge around their hotel here most of the dpy Tuesday waiting for a steady downpour to stop. It wasn’t until late in the day that they were able to get to the field where they worked out for three hours despite occasional drizzling. But the question of whether the Russians would decide to use the usual runways or the new “grasstex” footpaths installed in the stadium this year still was up in the air. Officials of the meet left it up to Russian coach Gavriao Korobkov to decide which runways would be used, but Korobkov postponed a decision until his athletes could test the grasstex surface. The new runways, made of a macadam base with a seed fiber surface, require special shoes with "needle” spikes. But the spe-

Alex Webster Signs New Giants Contract NEW YORK (UPD — The New York Giants have signed right halfback Alex Webster to a 1959 contract Webster, starting his fifth season with the National football league’s eastern champions, gained 398 yards rushing and received passes for another 279 yards last year. cial shoes weren’t on hand for the Russians and fourteen pairs were ordered for Tuesday’s practice. However, some of the shoes turned out to be the wrong size. Two girl high jumpers and four male stars—two pole vaulters and two decathlon athletes — worked out with the new shoes on the macadam runways with Don Bragg, the American pole vaulter. They displayed little difficulty using the shoes and runways but refused to comment officially on them. Korbokov made a last minute switch in his lineup Tuesday, naming 21-year-old Igor Ter-Ova-nesyan, standout broad jumper, to the decathlon event in place of Kim Bukhantsev, veteran discus , thrower. Ter - Ovanesyan will team with world record holder Vasily Kuznetsov in the two-day, 10-event endurance test against . America's Dave and Mike Herman. R Korobkov said there was noth* ing unusual about the switch, only that he thought Ter-Ovanesyan was “better prepared right now.” STOP AT the VICTORY BAR And try one of Margaret's Home-Cooked Meals ALSO Short Orders A Sea Foods
