Saari bettered his own world mark of 17:05.5 established at Tokyo a year ago and also cracked Murray Rose’s pending mark of 17:01.8, set in the 1964 national AAU championships. Saari beat his closest rival by over 30 meters while completing his third team-making performance of the current trials.

Hurlers Hold Spotlight In A.L.; Chris Short Latest Phillie Hero

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer It’s no coincidence that Hank Bauer arrived in Baltimore and Milt Pappas arrived as a mature pitcher in the same season. It would be difficult to find two men in baseball whose personalities • clash more violently than the tough, dedicated manager who made it the hard way and the kooky kid who made it the easy way. And yet their ability to get' along is . proving to be a vital factor in the Baltimore Orioles’ drive to win their first American League pennant in history. Under Bauer’s realistic, nononsense leadership, the former Baltimore problem child has compiled a 13 - 5 record and in these dutch days of the AL race has turned in two consecutive shutouts and four shutouts in his last five starts. Pappas achieved his 13th win — and missed a no - hitter by the margin of Zoilo Versalles’ single with two out in the eighth inning — when he pitched the Orioles to a 2-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins Wednesday night and preserved their half - game lead over the Chicago White Sqk. It was a night of great pitching in the AL—the White Sox blanked the Detroit Tigers 7-0, the Los Angeles Angels shut Stan The Man Is Now Reported Improving ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Stan Musial, resting comfortably in a St. Louis hospital, today showed marked improvement and expected to be with his family for the weekend. “Tests will be taken during next several days,” Dr. I. C. Middleman said. Stan “is going to be fine.” The 43-year-old Musial, who retired last year after playing with the St. Louis Cardinals for 22 seasons, was stricken with viral enteritis, Dr. Middleman said. He said the condition accompanied physical exhaustion ■and i .prescribed complete rest. -r Cardinal ...publicist. James. Toomey said Musial “has been going at a pretty good pace and has been running around for the government in connection with the physical fitness program.”.. August A. Busch Jr., Cardinal president, who named Musial a vice president when Musial retired as an active player at the end of the 1963 season, said, “It certainly was a shock to us, but I guess inview of his schedule and activities it’s something that could happen.’ In addition to Musial’s duties as director of the national physical fitness program and vice president of the Cardinals-; he is director of a St. Louis bank and co-ewner of a restaurant and a bowling alley. Musial was attending a baseball game at Busch Stadium when he became ill.

out the New York Yankees 4-0, the Cleveland Indians routed the Washington Senators 9-0 and the Kansas City Athletics topped the Boston Red Sox 94 — but Pappas' performance was by far the best. Strikes Ont N Pappas struck out 10 batters and walked only one in raising his lifetime mark to 94-63. Except for Versalles, the only Twins to reach base was Early' Battey who walked in the third inning and Pappas got all the help he needed on a homer by Sam Bowens in the second inning and a round tripper by Luis Aparioio in the ninth. Until Bauer’s arrival this season, Pappas always had been regarded as one of the most precocious young pitchers in baseball but he was as famous for his fun - loving personality as he was for his fast ball. The White Sox kept pace with the Orioles as Gary Peters pitched a five -hitter for his 16th win behind a nine-hit BOWLING K. OF C.

attack that included two hits each far Bill Steowron and Pete Wand. Hank Aguirre, fcayoed in 4 1-3 innings, sutfered his eighth loss against four wins. Dean Chance pitched his ninth shutout erf the season for the Angels and reduced his league - leading earned run average to 1.61 with a four-hit-ter that snapped the Yankees* four - game winning streak. Joe Adcock’s three - run homer was the big blow behind Chance, who has allowed the Yankees just one run in his last 49 innings against them. Lee Stange and Gary ’ Bell combined in a two- hitter for the Indians, whose 12 - hit attack was led by homers by Max Alvis, Bob Chance and Leon Wagner. It was the Indians’ 11th victory in their last 12 games. Jim, Gentile drove in three runs with a homer and a single to pace the Athletics’ Orlando Pena to his 12th win despite two homers by Lee Thomas and one by Felix Mantilla. Bill Monbouquettt suffered his 12th defeat against nine wins for the Red Sox. National League A hero a day to keep the contenders at bay. That’s the formula the Philadelphia Phillies are using as they move down the stretch of the National League pennant race with the Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants panting in their wake. With no super star to lead them, the Phillies are keeping the pressure on their pursuers by producing the right man at the right time. One day it’s Johnny Callison in the hero’s role . . . another day it’s Rich Allen ... and still another day it’s Jim Bunning or Tony Gonzalez. It was Chris Short’s turn Wednesday night and the 26-year-old left-hander responded with a four-hit, 10-strikeout performance that enabled the Phillies to beat the Houston Colts 2-1 and retain their 5%-game grip on first place. It was a key victory inasmuch as all three contenders — the Reds, Cardinals and Giants—won and would have made up a full game each had the Phillies lost. Kayoed in the second inning on Sunday, Short bounced back Wednesday night with his fourth complete game in his last five starts to raise his record to 15-7. The Phillies scored both their runs in the fourth inning when Wes Covington and Clay Dalrymple singled, were sacrificed along by Frank Thomas and tallied on a single by Tony Taylor. Finishes Strong ... Short faltered in the sixth inning when a walk and singles by Mike White and Bob Aspromonte produced Houston’s run but he settled down and finished strong. Allen’s throwing error put the tying run in scoring position with one out in the ninth but Short retired Joe Gaines and Carroll Hardy to end the game. The Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 1-0, the Cardinals topped the Milwaukee Braves 6-2, the Giants blanked the New York Mets 4-0 and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5 in other NL games. Jim O’Toole pitched a brijli- . ant seven-hitter over 12 inningst and the Reds finally edged out the Cubs on consecutive singles by pinch-hitter Marty Keough, Chicago Ruiz and - Mel Queen. O’Toole struck out seven and walked only three in scoring his 14th win against six losses. Cards Hold Pace Bob Gibson’s seven-hit pitching and a nine-hit attack enabled the Cardinals to keep pace with the front-runners. Ken Boyer drove in one Cardinal run with a sacrifice fly and scored after tripling home a run in a two-run third inning to lead the St. Louis attack that brought Gibson his 13th win. Hank Fischer suffered his ninth setback. Juan Marichal, back in form after being hobbled with a lame back for a month, pitched a four-hitter to win his 16th game for the Giants. Marichal also contributed a hit that led to a 1 run and Tom Haller’s homer and a two-run single by Hal Lanier accounted for the other San Francisco runs. Derrell Griffith’s two-run double snapped a 5-5 tie in the 12th inning and brought the Dodgers’ Larry Miller his third win while tagging the Pirates' Vern Law with his 12th loss. Willie Davis had three hits and Dick Tracewski and Maury Wills two each for the Dodgers while Jim Pggliaroni had three for the Pirates.

12-6 victory the previous year. Hie Decaturites won the two contests preceding 1958, racking up a 21-0 win in 1956 and a 14-13 decision in 1957. As evidenced by the above scores, the two teams have battled on even terms in those last eight games. Two of the games were decided by a single point, one was decided by three points and another by just six points. Auburn has not scored more than 14 points against a Decatur team since a 41-0 victory in the 1954 season. Strong Line Hie latest edition of the Red Devils will throw up a rugged and big line against the Yellow Jackets. Mosd. of their line from last seasofr returns for 1964, and althrough several good backs arc missing from last year’s squad, including the talented Gary Cochard, the Devils will have better over-all balance in their backfield this season. Auburn can be expected to go to the passing game quite often as all-NEIC end Terry Habig, a lanky 6-5 lad, returns for his senior season. Habig consistently hurt the Yellow Jackets in the first half of last season's game, until Decatur finally put a heavy rush on quarterback Jack Quance, slowing Habig in the second half. Decatur is expected to remain with the same lineup head coach Wally Yeoman used to open Tuesday night’s jamboree. That would include Dave Anderson and Dave Smith at ends, John Eichenauer, and Darryl Grote at tackle, Tim Magley and Jerry Egly at guard, Terry Smitley at center, Dave Anspaugh at quarterback, Sam Blythe at fullback and Max Elliott .and Bill Blythe at halfbacks. The defensive unit. will r-mam virtually the same, and will again include junior Alan ’Bugs” Sprunger who-made such a fine showing in the jamboree.
