Score Memorable Triumphs The three U.S. entries are at their best in the cross coun try and some experts are pre dicting a 1-2-3 U.S. finish in today's race. The U.S. scorad two of Its most memorable triumphs of these fourth annual Pan American Games Wednesday when Pete McArdle of New York won the 10,000-meter run and John D. Martin of Norman, Ok la., rallied despite a painful groin injury to win the decathlon. The U.S. also scored victo ries Wednesday in the wom en's 200-meter dash, fencing, yachting and gymnastics, making a total of eight gold medals for the day. McXrdle, a 34-year-old, 125- pound bus mechanic who looks like he couldn't run 10 feet without gasping for breath, had a crowd of 9,000 roaring fop him as he won the 10,000-meter with a time of 29:52.1 that wiped out the Pan Am mark of 30:17.2 set by Argentina's Oswaldo Suar ez in 1959. Suarez, quite naturally, was the favorite to win Wednes day's race but ihe balding, spindly-legged McArdle mov ed off the mark at a steady pace and just kept right on going. The fans, who had come to cheer Suarez, wound up yelling for "old lady" as he swept across the finish line 250 yards ahead of the Argen tine ace. Reii Two Days . T-To'll rest fnr 48 hours and then compete in another event Saturday - the maratnon. Martin, a 6-foot, 4-Inch, 200-pound teacher and former holder of the world pole vault record, won three of Wednes day's final five events In the decathlon to take the gold medal that earns him recog nition ss the best all-around athlete of the games. Martin, in last place after Tuesdays first two events, won the 110-meter hurdles, the discuss throw and the. pole vault in succession and then finished third in the javelin and the 1500-meter run to fin- tsh with a Pan Am record of 7.335 points. The crucial event was the pole vault in which Martin soared 14 feet, li incnes 10 collect 1,122 points in. one package. His 10-evcnt point total broke the mark ol 7,234 set by Dave Edstrom of the U.S. in 1959. Bill Gairdner of Canada was second with 6,812 points, Hector Martinez of Venezuela was third with 6,751 and Russ Hodge of Roscoe, N.Y., was fourth with 6,333. Jerry Lvnch Blast Provides Gincinatti With 4-3 Edge By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Jerry Lynch, b a s e b a ll's highest-priced pinch hitter, operates on the theory of all or nothing at all. That's the way he dickers at contract time and that's the manner he goes up to hit when Man ager Fred Hutchinson tells him to grab a bat. Always looking to "rip one d o w n t o w n," Lynch did Wednesday night when he blasted the 13th pinch homer of his career to power the Cincinnati Reds to a come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The greying 32 year old Lynch, who draws an esti mated salary of $25,000 a year,, now needs only one more pinch homer to tie the major league record ol 14 held by George Crowe, Has Two Hits, . Lynch's homer off loser Lew Burdette with rookie Tom Harper on base in the seventh inning was only his second hit of the season in 10 limes up. His only other hit also was a pinch homer that helped the Reds bear, the San Francisco Giants, 7-4, on April 22. Southpaw Jim O'Toole was the beneficiary of both blows, being the winner in the game against the Gianis and again in Wednesday night s contest. O'Toole, now 5-1, gave up nine hits to the Braves before Lynch hit for him in the seventh. Al Worthlngton then wrapped it up by retiring the last six batters in order. San Francisco snapped Pittsburgh's four-game win ning streak, 5-1, and the Chi cago Cubs came out of their batting slump with a 17-hit 13-8 victory over the St. Louis cardinals. Rain washed out the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies and also postponed the Houston Colts-New York Mets game with the Colts lead ing, 1-0, after three innings. Jack Sanford posted his fourth victory of the seasou for the Giants with a seven hitter over the Pirates. Bob Friend, victim of a ihree-run rally in the fourth, suffered his first loss after three vic tories. Wi'lie McCovey drove in two runs with three of the Giants' 12 hits. Ernie Banks blasted two three-run homers and drove in seven runs in all as the Cubs ended the Cardinals' four-game winning streak with a 17-hit barrage. Hom ers accounted fort 11 of the Cubs' 13 runs, with Nellie Mathews, - Dick Bertell and Kenny Hubbs reaching the seats as well as Banks. Jim Brewer, fifth of six Cub pitchers, was credited with the victory while Harry Fa nok was the loser.
