Yanks Whip Chicago
In Pair To Up Lead;
Cincinnatians Climb
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The New York Yankees are
up to an old trick that pays off
in pennants they're knocking
off the key contenders them
selves. The Yankees, who claim they
started the "do it yourself" fad
20 years ago, showed the season's
largest crowd yesterday why
they're the perennial American
League champions by handing
the Chicago White Sox a pair of
4-0 setbacks.
In the process, the Yankees
extended their first-place lead
to 2Vi games and the White Sox'
string of scoreless innings to 20.
It was the first meeting of
the season between the flag riv
als and the 49,016 fans saw the
Yankees completely outclass the
White So Earlier in the season,
the Yankees took four of five
games from the pennant-minded
Boston Red Sox and now they're
pointing for the Cleveland In
dians. Ed (Whitey) Ford breezed to
his fourth straight victory in
the first game and then south
paw Rip Coleman and veteran
relief specialist Jim Konstanty
collaborated in another eight-hit
performance in the nightcap.
The shutouts were the first by
Yankee pitchers this year.
B.rra's 8th Homer
Yogi Berra hit his eighth hom
er and Hank Bauer his sixth to
spark the Yankees' 12-hit attack
in the first game while short
stop Gil McDougald walloped
a key second-inning triple in
the second game. Jack Harsh
man and Harry Byrd suffered
the defeats for the White Sox,
who have lost five of their last
six games to drop back to the
.500 mark.
The Kansas City Athletics
pounded out 29 hits to beat the
Washington Senators, 10-7 and
13-3, and the Baltimore Orioles
downed the Detroit Tigers, 6-2
and 4-3, in other AL games.
Cleveland at Boston was rained
out.
In the National league, those
hard-hitting Cincinnati Redlegs
climbed to within 20 points of
first place when they clubbed
the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2
and 11-9.
The Redlegs hit five round
trippers Sunday, Ted Kluszew
ski and Gus Bell homering in
each game and Frank Robinson
walloping a homer, triple and
double in the first game. The
hapless Phillies now have drop
ped five straight and nine of
their last 11.

Bailey Met
By Throng
At Eugene
j Eugene U.R) More than
j 2,000 persons braved a driving
ram last night to welcome Jim
Bailey, the University of Oregon
junior from Australia, who as
tonished the sports world Satur
day by beating John Landy in
the fastest mile ever run on U.S.
soil.
Bailey's time was 3:58.6. He
was just ahead of his fellow
countryman who finished in
3:58.7.
The 26-year-old Bailey wasted
little time in pomp and cere
mony. Both he and teammate
Bill Dellinger worked out in Los
Angeles yesterday in prepara
tion for the Northern division
meet next week in Eugene. Bai
ley will run the 880 and mile
and Dellinger the mile and two-
mile.
"I just ran the best I knew
how and it turned out that
way," Bailey said.
San Francisco U.R) John
Landy, who has cracked the mil
ers' four minute barrier five
times in his sparkling career,
expects to do it again this week
at the Fresno Relays and will be
"awfully surprised" if he
doesn't.
"If I could do it in Los Ange
les in 3:58.7 last Saturday why
shouldn't I do it again at Fres
no?" the candid schoolmaster
from Australia asked. "It's not
that I feel as if I were at a oeak
or anything like that. But when
you go under four minutes one
week it seems possible that you
can do it the next."
The Landy-Bailey duel over
shadowed other track events in
the Far West last week end, but
for the record, here are results
of some of the more important
meets:
USC downed UCLA 74-65 in
the meet highlighted by the
Landy-Bailey race.
Stanford ran off with the 61st
renewal of the Big Game track
meet, defeating California, 85 to
46.
Washington State college de
feated Washington, 71.6 to 59 4.
University of Oregon defeated
Idaho, 78 23 to 50 13.
At Salt Lake City, the Air
Force's Parry O'Brien broke the
world's outdoor record for the
shotput with a heave of 61 feet
1 inch in the annual intermoun-
tain AATT track ?nrl field mpt.
Leon Long of the San Fran
cisco Olympic club won the out
standing performance award at
an all-comers track meet at San
Jose State with a javelin throw
of 246 feet 2 inches.
