Veterans Star In Major Loop Games Tuesday By FRED DOWN United Press International They say there’s no sentiment in baseball but who can deny a tip of the old chapeau today to vets like Ted Williams, Stan MusiaL Curt Simmons and Luis Arroyo? All four were considered just about washed up when the season started but now Williams has reached another home run milestone, Musial and Simmons are playing major roles in the St. Louis Cardinals* astonishing rise to pennant contention, and Arroyo is the lifesaver of the New-York Yankee bullpen. Here’s how the four old pros showed the young ’uns how to do it in Tuesday night’s major league action: '-Williams, 41, tied Mel Ott for third place in the ail-time home run race when he hit the 5111th of his brilliant career in the Boston Red Sox’ 6-3 toss to the Cleveland Indians. t-Musial, 39, figured in three rubs with two doubles and a sacrifice fly in the first game and Simmons, 31, pitched a five-hitter as the Cardinals whipped the Phillies, 5-4 and 6-0, to move into second place in the National League. -Arroyo, 33, turned in his sixth straight fine relief job to gain credit for the Yankees’ 7-4, eightinning triumph over the Chicago White Sox. The win boosted the Yankees’ American League lead to 1% games. Pirates Beat Cubs The Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-0, and the Kan-

I Today's Sport Parade \ ittet. pm. on.) - By OSCAR FRALEY United Press foternattonal NEW YORK (UPI) — The cold war is getting hotter today which is no more than might be expected just before the Olympic Games. The international muscle contests were devised, in their modern inception, to promote peace and international amity. This is as against the ancient precept when they were held to celebrate victory in war. Sometimes the ideas and ideals get kind of mixea up — Particularly since the cubs of the Russian bear entered the competition. Year in an year out, something always seems to happen to promote discord instead of harmony. A case in point was the last. Olympic Games at Melbourne where you might say, it was more than usual. As example, the games were preceded by the Hungarian uprising and when the lads got down under you couldn’t hardly expect them to embrace each other. They didn't — except when they figuratively had knives in their hands. The Blood Flows The classic illustration was when the Hungarians and Russians met in the water polo finals. More time was spent under water than on top of same. Blood ran like the proverbial wine. The Aussies stood on their chairs screaming at the Russians. Police had to be called to escort the beaten Russians from the pool. Then there was the case of Ireland against the world. The Irish brought their own flag to the Olympic Village. It was much larger than the regulation banners supposed to be hoisted atop the flagpoles in front at each team’s quarters. “Down it must come,” insisted the Australian officials. “Try and take it down,” shouted the entire Irish boxing team as it lined up, fists poised, in front of the jackstaff. So this one in Rome should be no exception and the first shots already have been fired with, once again, our Siberian cousirs at the lanyard. Ridicule The Church Rome being the seat of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, you could bet in advance that the doubting Dmitrt from behind the Kremlin walls would take a pot shot at the holy cloth. They have, and are. For days the Communist and leftwing press in Italy has been conducting a campaign of ridicule against the church mixing in with

They have shown priests In the boxing ring telling fighters to “turn the other cheek”; priests diving into a pool to shield the figures of female divers behind veils, and a priest pacing • runner to tell him that "the first shall be last, and the last first.” Sportsmen's League Meets Friday Night The Sportsmen's league win hold its organization meeting Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Mies Recreation.
