.. . I II I Otis Davis Barely Misses World Record at SwissTrackWarm-Up Slow Track Makes Most Runs Poor Bern, Swltzerland-OIPD-Otis Davis of Los Angeles missed the world record for the 400- meter run by just four-tenths of a second last night as the U. S. Olympic track and field team warmed up for the be ginning of the Rome games next week in an International two-day meet here. ' Davis brought a crowd of more than 15,000 fans in Neu- feld stadium to its feet when he covered the distance in 45.6 seconds, the year's sec ond best time for the 400- meter run. Lou Jones holds the mark for the event. ; Jack Yerman of Woodland, Calif., won the other 400- meter event with a clocking of 46.5. Glenn Davis of Columbus, Ohio, won the 200-meter hur dles in a sparkling 22.5 sec onds, missing the world record in the event by only six-tenths of a second. Teammate Dick Howard of Albuquerque, N.M., was second in 22.8. Ed- mond Roudniska of France was third and Italy's Sar Franco was fourth. Athletes from nine nations competed in the meet which got underway under cloudy skies and a temperature of 55. The running track was slow as a result of recent rain, so both Davis' times were considered rather extra ordinary in view of the fact that other members of the team fared rather poorly. Ray Norton of the Santa Clara club, won his series in the 100-meter event, as ex pected, but he was timed in a slow 10.4 seconds, well off his own best time of 10.1. Dave Sime of Durham, N.C-, who had done so well during the American Olympic team's training period, took the sec ond series In 1.5. Paul Wind er of Pleasantvllle, N.J., was second, also in 10.5, while Polish sprint ace Marian Foik was third in 10.6. World record holder Har old Connolly of Santa Monica, Calif., who was the most critical of a number of American athletes of the de cision to come here-branding the trip a "silly sightseeing tour"-beat Poland's Tadeusz Rut by a little under 10 inches in the hammer throw. The American Olympic favor ite, who set a world record of 230 feet, 9 inches two weeks ago at Walnut, Calif., was first tonight with- a throw of 215, 10 Vb inches.

SPORTS J Oakland Is 3rd Victim Of Chargers San Francisco - (UPD - The Los Angeles Chargers today looked like the team to beat in the new American Football league. They overcame fog, bad breaks and a stubborn Oak land Raider outfit Friday night to win a see-saw 24-17 exhibition contest. It was their third pre-season win without a setback. A crowd of 6,521 sat in on the contest. The low total was understandable since the weather was cold and windy and the fog so thick that it was impossible to see across the field. The Charger offense was carried by Paul Lowe, pencil slim back from Oregon State, and Howie Ferguson, who starred for many years for Green Bay in the National Football league. Lowe took a 43-yard pass from quarterback Jack Kemp to score the Chargers' first touchdown. Ferguson bulled over for two touchdowns in the third quarter to overcome a 17-10 Oakland halftime lead. Lowe picked up 77 years on 13 tries, while-Kemp was again effective as he clicked on 15 of 25 fog-shrouded pass es for 233 yards. Oakland relied mostly on the passing arm of Tommy Flores, who is expected to wage a battle with veteran Babe Parilli for the first string quarterback berth. Flores hit on 16 of 39 tosses for 188 yards. He passed 4 yards to Brad Myers for one score and 6 yards to Billy Lott for another. Each team also had a field goal as Henry Wallace booted one from the 15 for Los An geles and Oakland's Larry Barnes scored one from the 29. . Big Inning Gives Pirates 10-7 Win By United Press International The league - leading Pitts burgh Pirates scored six runs in the second inning Saturday and then staved off the rally ing Cincinnati Reds to gain a 10-7 victory. Roy Face, last of the three Pirate hurlers, picked up the victory after starter Tom Cheney failed to go the neces sary five innings. Terr batters went to the plate in the second inning as the Pirates picked up six runs while sending 20-year-old Jim Maloney to the showers. Ail but one of the six runs came after two were out. Bob Skin ner's double, which drove home the final two, was the only extra base hit of the inn ing. Don Hoak's 11th homer of the season accounted for one of two Pirate runs in the fifth inning during which Joe Nux hall was replaced by Claude Osteen. Coleman Homers Cheney held the Reds scoreless until rookie Gordon Coleman unloaded a three-run homer ,in the fourth inning. He departed in the fifth as the Reds added three more runs, two of them coming on a homer by Gus Bell. The Reds bunched three singles for their final run in the seventh. Face replaced Clem Labine and shut out the Reds the remainder of the game while yielding only one hit. George Altman drove in five runs with a double and a homer to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 9-5 victory over the Sah Francisco Giants. The loss ended a four-game Giant winning streak. Altman doubled in two runs off loser Sam Jones in the third inning and belted a three-run homer off reliever Stu Miller to climax a five-run rally in the fourth inning. Seth Morehead, working in relief of Moe Drabowsky, rfr ceived credit for the victory. Orlando Cepcda and Ed Bres soud hit homers for the Giants. Gil Hodtcs doubled home two runs in the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Dodg ers a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Pedro Ramos had a 2-0 vic tory in his grasp when he re tired the first two men in the ninth. The Yanks went on to score five unearned runs, thanks to two errors by Jose Valdivielso, Washington short stop. Cletis Boyer put the fin ishing touches on the rally with a two-run homer, his 10th. The Senators, in their turn, rallied for three runs, climax ed by Pete Whiesenant's two run pinch homer off Bobby Shantz which tied the score. Mantle Doubles Mantle doubled off Chuck Stobbs to open the 11th. Skowron, hitless all day, hom ered into the left-field seats. The Yankees then went on to score two more insurance runs. It was Skowron's grounder in the ninth which was booted by Vadivielso for the latter's first error and which cost Washington the game. Bob Turley pitched the first seven innings for the Yanks and struck out 11, a season's high for a Yankee pitcher this year. However, Turley gave up homers to Earl Bat- tey, his 11th, and Bill Gard ner, his eighth. ' Ell Grba, who took over after Shantz yielded Whies ant's homer in the ninth, got the victory. Stobbs was the loser. Southpaw Herb Score hand ed the Kansas City Athletics their 10th straight defeat when he pitched the Chicago White Sox to a two-hit 3-0 victory. Larsen Retires 14 Loser Don Larsen, who re tired the first 14 batters to face him, held the White Sox scoreless until the eighth rookie Charlie James homer ed in the first inning.
