U.S. NotAf Full Strength For Pan Am CHICAGO (UPI) — The United States was hurting in more ways than one today, on the eve of the opening of the third Pan American games. They were hurting prestige-wise and also athletic-wise, the latter being the reason these games were inaugurated back in 1951. In the prestige league, the U.S. way of doing things wasn’t exactly what the doctor ordered so far as most of the other 23 North and South American nations edmpeting in the games were concerned. The grumblings, which first started when the vanguard of almost 1,700 athletes from the competing countries outside the United States arrived last week, were increasing. Chances Decreasing Meanwhile, the U. S. chances of spread-eagling the field athletically were decreasing. Injuries and late, arrivals figured to keep the Al. S. team from full strength. Iff the decathlon, in which the U. & wag counting on sweeping the gold, silver and bronze medals, it looked like Mike Herman of New York University would be lost to tpe host forces. He suffered ah hnkle injury in practice and the U. S. team trainers said there was little chance he would be able to compete. In the pole vault, Don Bragg of Villanova had an infected heel and there was doubt whether he would be in the best of condition when the athletic competition of these games opens on Friday—a day after the formal official opening ceremonies. U.S. Members Absent Added to that was the fact that at least 20 of the 404 members of the U.S. team still were absent and were not scheduled to appear lentil Friday because of summer school examinations or other commitments. So lacking the practice usually mapped out for the athletes, there was .a question of whether they would be in top shape. Despite it all. however, the U.S. still was heavily favored to win the unofficial team title of the games, expected to' serve as a i prelude to the U.S. chances in. the 1960 Olympics at Rome. In the grumbling department, the U.S. itself was involved. It seems that officials of the gamees forgot to notify all of the U.S. delegation that the official flag raising ceremony for the U.S. quarters at the housing village on the University of Chicago cam-, pus was scheduled to be held I Tuesday afternoon- Several of the tI.S executives showed up; were, 'left standing in the hot sun until it was decided to re-schedule the flag raising ceremony for 11 a .m. today so all U.S offcials could be present. Hold World Series Meeting September 3 NEW YORK (UPl'—Representatives of six National League teams and five American League clubs will discuss World Series plans at a .meeting in Chicago Sept. 3. Summoned to the conference by Commissioner Ford Frick were officials of the Giants Dodgers, Braves, Pirate* Reds and Cubs in the National League and the White Sox, Indians, Yankees, Orioles and Tigers in the American.

White Sox Rally In Late Innings To Down Boston By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International The Giants and White Sox may well wind up as rivals in the World Series, but they sure are traveling different roads toward the promised land. The Giants like to slug it out in a “big inning,”, as they did in a 12-5 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night to preserve their 3% game National League lead; Even 18-game winner Johnny Antonelli got .into the act with a two-run homer. But how about those White Sox, who think a "big inning” means a walk, a stolen base, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice fly? The Go-Go-Soxers gave a typical performance as they came' from behind to beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, in 10 innings and maintain their two-game lead in the Americah League chase. That was merely their 30th one-run .victory so far this season. . Cash Gets Homer This time they were “treated” to an early homer by rookie Norm Cash. But they had only four hits off Frank Spllivan and trailed, 4-2, going into the ninth. Singles by Al Smith and Cash chased Sullivan and then Jim Rivera and John Romano continued the “bombardment” with singles off reliever Mike Fornieles to tie the score. Chicago won in the 10th when Sherm Lolar walked with two out and Billy Goodman drove him home with a double. The Giants, on toe other hand, missed scoring in only two innings as they trampled the Pirates for Antonelli’s 18th victorytops in the majors. Dodgers Whip Phils In the National League, toe sec-ond-place Los Angeles Dodgers whipped Philadelphia, 5-2, to stay a half-game ahead of toe thirdplace Milwaukee Braves, who downed St. Louis, 3-1, in 10 innings. Also, toe Chicago Cubs downed Cincinnati, 8-6. In the American League, second-place Cleveland ripped New York, 6-3; Washington downed Detroit, 3-1; and Kansas City shaded Baltimore, 6-5. Duke Snider and Gil Hodges, the two “old pros” who are pacing the Los Angeles attack, each whacked his 21st homer of the year to beat the Phils. Snider’s was toe 352nd of his career,

Jackets Scrimmage Scheduled Tonight The Decatur Yellow Jackets will take to Worthman field under the lights tonight in their first full scrimmage of the early season, orientating the team to playing conditions under the arcs. Bob Worthman voiced a little pleasure at Tuesday’s one practice, commenting on a good showing on the defensive patterns. No offensive workouts were conducted, but the entire morning session was concentrated on defensive maneuverings. The team showed plenty of hustle and alert field day as the assignments were carried out with a modicum of success. Coach Worthman termed the entire practice as “fair” after a miserable showing on Monday. The improvement, however, can be noted as considerable. The junior high teams, the Colts and the Rams, will also take to the arc lights at 7:30 p.m., for the first extensive contact drills. To date, only the Rams have had any contact work, and that was yesterday when about 20 minutes were spent on a one-on-one blocking demonstration. The Celts concentrated on physical conditioning with a smattering of basic fundamentals. The drills ended with the eight Colt backs learning six variations of one basic play.
