At Spahn D By FRED DOWN L'PI Sporl Writer Can Warren Spahn surpass the National League record of 373 victories shared by Hall of Fam ers Christy Mathewson and Grov er Cleveland Alexander before he hangs up his glove? The first inclination is to say no but the idea isn't so far fetched after all when you con sider that the 42-ycar-old Milwau kee Brave left-hander reached the 331-mark and is off to his fastest start in five years. He could reach the 350-mark this year and then have another year and a hair or two years to shoot for a new record. . Spahn scored the 331st victory of his career Sunday when he pitched the Braves to a 3-1 deci sion over the San Francisco Giants. That gave him a 4-1 rec ord his best start since 1958 when he won his first five deci sions and he even Is ahead of that season's timetable because he did not chalk up his fourth win of 58 until May 4. Spahn was cither 3-2 or 2-3 aft cr five decisions in each of the last four years and the dates on which he won No. 4 in 1959 through 1962 were May 13, June 5, May 12 and May 18, respec tively. Tapped For 11 Hits Spahn was tapped for 11 hits Sunday but didn't walk a batter and was helped by two double plays. He had a shutout until the ninth when Felipe Alou tripled and scored on an error and his earned run average for this sea son Is 1.67. Spahn himself drove in the winning run with an eighth-inning single and Hank Aaron's seventh homer of the season added a run in the ninth. The St. Louis Cardinals downed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-5, the Houston Colts bent the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2, the Chicago Cubs de feated the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-1, and the Pittsburgh Pirates shaded the New York Mcts, 3-2, in other National League games. In the American League, the Kansas City Athletics beat the Washington Senators, 6-5, the New York Yankees shut out the Cleveland Indians, 5-0, the Los Angeles Angels edged out the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2, the De troit Tigers topped the Minneso ta Twins, 4-0, and the Boston Red Leaders Major League By United Press International American League Player ft Club O.

Bill Fischer, has the best pitch of all. It's called a strike. Actually, the 32-year-old Fisch er has a variety of pitches fast hall, curve and slider 1 to the bullpen it's also the sig nal for Kansas City road secre tary Jim Schaaf to line up the taxi cabs outside the dressing room because he knows every body's going home In a hurry. Fischer, who set a major league record by pitching 84 1-3 consecutive innings without issu ing a walk between Aug. 3 and Sept. 20, 1962, Is the chief reason the Athletics occupy first place in the American League today. He has relieved six times, pitched 15 innings and allowed only eight hits and two walks in compiling a 4-0 won-lost record and a 1.20 earned run average. Fischer made his sixth relief appearance of the season Sunday and went 2 2-3 Innings to receive credit for the Athletics' 6-3 vie tory over the Washington Sena tors. He's now been the winning pitcher in lour of the Athletics' last seven victories.

PETERSEN I PI Sports Editor SAO PAULO, Brazil (UPD Uncle Sam's athletes, who have turned the Pan-American Games into a red, white and blue show case, take a well-deserved day oil today following a fantastic weekend string of victories in swimming and track and field ine vann torces picked ud three gold medals in track and field and two in swimming Satur day and added 19 more in vari ous events Sunday to run their gold medal total to 62 with a week still remaining in the com petition. The United States completed a sweep of swimming honors Sun day by winning all 6ix gold med als at stake, four of them ir meet record time, and the track and field team, paced by ex-Ma rine Dave Tork, picked up four gold medals to muke it seven two days with the bulk of the track and field events yet to come. The Yanks also won four of seven rowing finals and added four gold medals in shooting and one m lencing. Not Best Team Before this year's competition started American officials ore dieted that this was not the best team the United States could have sent to the piwi, pnd as a result it would not win as many gold medals as the 1959 squad, which won an overall total of 120. However, the American sweep in tnese games is reaching such proportions that many observers are saying the United States will surpass the 1959 total, and well it might.

But in track and field and swimming, where the united States hopes to do equally as well in next years Olympic Games at Tokyo, it's been strict ly an American show. . Six Swimming Victories Sunday's six swimming victor ies gave the Yanks first place in 19 out of the 20 events, exactly the same number they won at Chicago four years- ago en route to that 120 gold medal grab. Sharop Finneran, a 17-year-old lass from Los Angeles, smashed the women's games record for the 400 meter freestyle with a clocking of 4:52.7.

In addition. Bob Webster, a 1900 Olympic champion from Santa Ana, Calif., and Linda Cooper, an 18-year-old from San Bernardino, Calif., swept the platform diving titles for the U.S. with Webster's victory ending Mexican domination in the event.
