Banks Stays In Lineup Chicago -flirt)- The Chicago Cubs will have Ernie Banks back In the lineup today for his 580th consecutive game at shortstop. Banks was carried off the field on a stretcher In the second inning of Monday's game with the Cincinnati Reds after Don Ncwcombe hit him in the left knee with a fast ball. The slender shortstop, who has captured the National league's Most Valuable Player award for the past two sea sons, spent two hours at a hospltnl undergoing X-rays ice-pack treatment. Doctors said the ball hit him on the side of the leg, just missing the kneecap and there was no evidence of a fracture. Griffith is Victor Over Fernandez New York - (UPD - Welter weight contender Emile Grif fith of New York, bubbling with title ambitions because of his second straight victory over Argentine Jorge Fer nundoz, announced today he was ready to fight any 147 poundcr in the world who stood between him and the championship. Griffith, 22, won a unani mous decision over slugger Fernandez, 24, Monday night at Madison Square Garden in their non-television return 10 roundcr after taking the aourin rouna on a ioui. Emile weighted 150 pounds; Fernandez, M8',i. Betting was at "even money." On June 3, speedy Griffith received a split verdict over the stocky black-haired South American at St. Nicholas Arena; but the decision was so unpopular it caused a near riot In which chairs and refuse were hurled into the ring. Monday night at the Garden the 3,500 spectators caused no disturbance when the deci sion was announced.

Ss SP 3-6247 'Glamor Race1 Hopes By HOWARD APPLEGATE Unitad Praia International Eugene, Ore. - IUPD - When It comes to the toy "glamor race" of the Olympic games, the 1,500 meter run, the United States has been a com plete Clop for 52 years. Not since "peerless" Mel Shcppard captured the so called metric mile in 1908 has an American finished first in this most coveted of -II races, even though the United States has dominated almost every other event In Olympic track and field. Glenn Cunningham was figured as a probable victor for the United States when the 1036 Olympics was held under Adolf Hitler's scowling gaze in Berlin, but Cunning ham - holder of the world mile record - was whipped by Jack Lovelock of New Zea land. Unheralded Bob McMillln came close at Helsinki in 1952, but lost by an eyelash to Josy Barthel of Luxem burg. Delaney Was Irish American fans got some thing of a thrill In 1058 when Ron Delany, a student at Philadelphia's Villanova uni versity, won the glamor gal lop at Melbourne, but Delany was running for his homeland - Ireland. And so, 52 years after Shcp pard and 24 years after Cun ningham, the United States comes to another Olympic games and puts its hopes for an Olympic 1,500 meter tri umph on a 20-year-old boy. Thin, quiet Dyrol Burleson, who will be a junior at the University of Oregon when he returns from the games in Rome this fall, qualifies for all the hope being placed in him because he is the only American who has broken four minutes for the mile twice. Also on the U.S. team for this evening is Jim Grelle, Burleson's brilliant teammate at Oreiton, and Marine Lieut. Pete Close from St. John's, N.Y. But track experts are agreed that any hopes the United States may have of upsetting defending champion Delany, world mile record holder Herb Elliott of Australia, and a number of European stars must rest on the shoulders of Burleso. . Can Burley do it? Will Grow Stronger He's not a bragger, but he thinks he can. So does his coach, Bill Bowerman of Ore gon, although actually both think he still may be a year away from an all-out assault on Elliott's 3:54,5 world rec ord for the mile. "I'll be a year older next year, and should be a lot stronger," Burleson points out. But Burleson also indicates in his quiet way that he Is sure he can do better than he already has done. When he broke the American record for the mile with a 3:58.6 clocking, 1 c commented, "I can run faster." When little Jim Beatty of the Santa Clara Youth Village who will run in the 5,000 meters in the Olympics beat him and ran 3:58.0 to break Burleson's record, Burley said dryly, "I made some mis takes." Burleson was timed in 3:59.2 in that race. For all the talk about El liott and all the respect that Burleson has for the Aussie star, Burleson figures that Delany will be the man to beat in Rome, simply because the Irish bog-Jumper Is the defending champion and a U.S. Davis Cup Team Selected San Francisco CtTPD T h e U.S. Davis Cup Selection com mittee has picked Barry Mac- Kay, Bernard Barizen, Earl Bucholz Jr. and Charles Mo Kinley for a match with Mexico Aug. 6-8. Chairman James B. Moffett said Monday that the Mexican match, which will be played at an altitude of almost 8,000 feet, is one of the toughest as signments in tennis. This is especially true, he said, because the current Mexican team is the strongest ever to represent that coun try. The U.S. team left Sun day so it will have 11 days to get acclimated.
