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.
Al Hall o f Southington,

throw of 205 feet, 6 Inches,
while Ed Bagdonas of Tem

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

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.

soud hit homers for the
Giants.

Yankees Beat Senators 9-5;
White Sox Blank Athletics
By United Press International
Bill Skowron's 23rd homer
with Mickey Mantle aboard
highlighted a four-run rally in
the 11th inning and gave the
New York Yankees a 9-5 vic
tory over the Washington Sen
ators Saturday in a wild game
marked by dramatic ninth-inning
rallies by both sides.
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.
