Yanks Becoming Seriously Worried By GAYLK TALBOT NEW YORK UV-There sre not likely to be any general expres sions ol regret from the rest ol the American League at news that the Yankees aro becoming serious' ly worried. A more popular re action probably would bo Ilia I It's about time. The live-lime world champions are not universally loved and admired A spy close to the scene reports that there are unmistakable traces ol gloom among the athletes at they head toward atlll another cru clal aeries with the leading Cleve land Indians out West this com ing weekend, tie sdda that, lor the first time, Caacy Stengel's high rollers are beginning to look over tired and a little elderly under the burning sun. It seems to hsve dawned sud denly upon the champs thst Uie race Is drswing toward the hall way mark and they are live games out of lirst place with no help in sight from any source, Including their Isrm system. They never be fore have been In anything resem bling; their present plight since Stengel began his record mana- geilal run. It la not so much that the Yanks are falling to win their share. They have, as a matter ol fact, won 14 ol the 30 games they have played since June 3. Bui, during the same period, ihe torrid Indians have set a 15-6 pace, thus adding, a full game to their advantage, and the Chicago White Box nave shown no signs whatever of loitering. This is an unusual experience lor the champions, and It appears to have been a disconcerting one. Our personal prophet of doom for the Yankeea places much sig nificance In the fsct that they no longer seem able to win double heiulers. They have spill nine In succession, and that, he says, Is an accepted symptom of lack of pitching depth. A close Inspection of the record of Allle Reynolds, the veteran ace who must produce brilliantly If the Yanks are to pull out their sixth flag, does not hold forth any great promise. Though the Superchlef holds a fine 8-1 victory record at this point, lie Is having his trou bles. He has finished only 3 of 10 games ho has started, and he has needed help in winning each of his last five decisions. JBul for the comforting presence or Johnny sain In hia bullpen, Sten gel plainly would be In poor ahape. TONIGHT'S BALLFARE t i n nASEBM.1.

Both clubs dropped out Monday irom ivhai nau be-cn the country's only 10-tcum circuit Ihe announcement by league prc.ildenl Robert B. Abel at WIL headquarters here that the Spo kane lranchli:c had been cancelled and the Calgary l?um disbanded evoked little surprise. Both teams were floundering in a sea of red ink caused by apathy of the lans, cold and rainy weather una in Spokane uie countcr-al- tracliun ol television. Unitiii the Spcxanc players, moat l them owned by the parent Philadelphia Philllc . heard the news aboard train Uicy still were unaware early Tuesday ol their PllKM. Al the time the Spokane civic committee "Save Spokane Indian.-., Inc." threw In the towel on a tund-ralsing drive the team was en route from Edmonton to Van couver, B.C., and due some time Tuesday. The committee gave up in Its campaign lor $404,000 to insure co tinued operation of the club after less Ulan 13,000 was pledged dur ing Uie week of solicitation. The league had taken over the Spokane franchise a week earlier when owner Roy Hotchkiss said he could not continue a losing operation. Calgary's president Bus Lacey told his players the same story Monday, and split up Uie ciuo s bank account of 8jo among the IS man squad. A S3. 150 deposit with Uie minor league president, George Trautman, also will go to ward player salaries. Reaction of other owners was a mixture of relief and determina tion. Most seemed glad the Inde cision over Uie two ailing ex-mem bers was over, and conltdent the league could finish out Uie season intact. . ,' Tne loss of Calgary 'left Uie Ed monton Eskimos at the "end of the line" In Alberta nearly 800 miles from Uie nearest other WIL club, but manager John Ducev said "H won't allect us a bit." Ducey described Uie Eskimos' as "in a very solid position," and said other teams would continue to gel a 6600 guarantee to helo meet-travel costs on Uie long road trips to the Canadian prairie. This is Uie only exception made to Uie league's rule ol Uie home team keeping all gate receipts. Snokane's departure from organ ized baseball came Just a half dozen or so years after Uie In land Empire city set a minor league attendance record. Civic interests there say they will do the spade work this year to Insure the re-entry of Spokane into the WIL next season. Several oiher teams, notably Lewlston and Salem, have been hard-pressed financially this sea- sor but Improving weather and promises of community support have helped them over the hump. So serious was Uie overall prob lem ol pour attendance and ane mia at the boxolfice that directors met about 10 days ago in Spokane to decide whether the entire league would have to disband. The decision was to continue, with Uie hope Spokane and Calgary would revive. They didn't. SPORTS IN BRIEF By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TENNIS WIMBLEDON.

Ml Frankie Ryff. a shiny new face in Uie lightweight division. Is ready to step up in class alter his impressive victory over urian Kelly. The 22-year-old New York lad unbeaten In 12 pro fights, won a lopsided fight from Kelly last night at Brooklyn Eastern Parkway. He had Uie Niagara Falls. Ont.. boxer on Uie floor in Uie eighth round. Teddy Brenner, Eastern Park. wav matchmaker, hopes to pair Ryff with Orlando Zulueta, the clever, high-ranked Cuban, or Ralph Dupas. the New Orleans schoolboy flash, in an Aug. 9 bout. He must wait that long because a six-week layoff as Uie result of an inch cut over his left eye. Ryff is handled by Cus D'Amato, the manager of Floyd Patterson, unbeaten Olympic champ. "The ia is ready." said D'Amato. "He did a fine Job on Kelly." Referee Mark Conn and Judee Americo Schiavone each scored it -I and Judge Joe Eppy 8-2. A crowd of 1,060 paid (2.430 to see the 3-1 favorite come through as expected with left hooks and left right combinations.

By STIC HAEOGHLOM TURKU, Finland urWohn tan. dy, the second man la history to crash Uie four-minute mile bar rier, rested today after hia record shattering 3:68 performance and announced that he probably would do no belter at least lor this year. "I have kept my present to? shape for more than nine months," said the 24-year-old Australian, "Now I believe some sort of re action will set in. I think I have done what I can do for this year." But he lelt no doubt that he was looking forward to his duel In the British Empire Games next month with Roger Bannister ol England, whose 3:59.4 performance he broke in the blazing sun of Turku Stad ium yesterday. Bannister crashed the barrier less than two months ago. "I'm almost too happy to be able to apeak,", said Landy, whose breathtaking career has Included nine mile races of under 4:03. vif it hadn't been for Chris Chataway chasing me around the track I never would have made it. "I knew he was Immediately be hind m; and that he woula nut hesitate to pass me If I slowed up the very least." Ironically, Chataway, an English man, was the runner who pushed Bannister to his 3:59.5 effort. In Ihe process ol breaking the mile record, Landy also lowered the world 1,500-meter mark to 3:41.8. Both records must be. rec ognized by the International Ama teur Athletic Federation, but there was no doubt that the recognition would be a mere formality. In London, Bannister comment ed: "It Is a wonderful achievement. Landy has tried as hard aa anyone to run the mile under four min utes and I am glad he has suc ceeded." Landy changed hia tactics slight ly yesterday. Instead of setting th pace all the way as be usually does, he hung; back In second place until Just before the half .mile mark and finished In a blaze ol speed He showed no signs of exhausUon as spectators carried him from the stadium on their shoulders.
