With every major track meet,
with the approach of each Olym-
pic year, the name of Paavo MUIR
mi is revived for purposes of dis
cussion and comparison. That's
because, in the opinion of many
critics, Nurmi was the greatest
distance runner in the history of
track.
Young people may be excused
if they never have heard of MUIR
mi. He was in his prime about 80
years ago. Yet aspiring runners
and track fans in general might
do we'll to review Paavo's career,
for the Flying Finn took his sport
seriously.
Distance running is a phase of
track in which Americans have
failed to take over. Foreigners
from Scandinavians to Koreans
have come to this country and
beaten our best in various events
ranging from the two-mile to the
marathon. The reason may be
partly that Americans are chiefly
interested in the mile and h e

That's all coach Jim Turner had
to say as he escorted a reporter

earlier. Turner had been acting
manager for the ailing Stengel dur

|Durocher Ban
Starts Today

NEW YORK R-Leo Durocher
started serving his third suspen-
sion of the season today as his
New York Giants prepared to face
the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Sec
ond of their three-game series.
The latest suspension is a two
day vacation handed to the fiery
manager by National League Pres
ident Warren Giles for the beam
balling incident in the New York
Brooklyn game of Monday after
noon.
Durocher was held responsible
for Monte Kennedy throwing at
Joe Black but the suspension was
held to a minimum because the
Giant pilot removed his pitcher
after a warning by the umpires.
Leo also was fined 500.
Other Giants fined were Kennedy
and Larry Jansen, who hit Billy
Cox with pitch in the ninth inning
and was ordered from the game
by plate umpire Lee Ballanfant.
Kennedy was fined $50 and Jansen
$25. Because of Jansen's excellent
record, his fine was RENTED.
Durocher was forbidden to direct
his club in today'S and tomorrow'S
| games. Each time the Pirates are
the opposition. Leo has been sus-
pended twice before by Giles. once
for the shin-kicking episode with
umpire Bill Stewart in Philadel-
phia June 20 and the other time
for his near fist fight with umpire
Augie Donatelli Aug. II at the Polo
Grounds.
In a lengthy telegram to Giant
officials, Giles said Kennedy was
fined because it was believed that
he threw deliberately at Brooklyn
batterS.
"Under the provision of a bulle-
tin sent to all clubs dated Aug. S,
Manager Durocher must be held
accountable but this is not intended
to imply that he gave any instruc-
! ton to Kennedy to deliberately
throw at any batter. On the con-
trary, it appears that Durocher
did exercise some control of the
situation by voluntarily removing
Kennedy from the game after Ken
nedy was warned by the umpires. !"
Kennedy did not bit anybody but
drew a warning for two inside
pitches to pitcher Black. Another
Kennedy pitch sent Gil Hodges to
the dirt in the seventh. Jansen hit
Andy Pafko and Cox. and Hoyt
Wilhelm hit Hodges. The latter in
cidently spiked Giant second base
man Billy Rigney, inflicting a
wound in the calf of the right leg
that required five stitches.

Yank Loss To Browns Tues.
Cuts Lead To Single Game
By JOE RElcHLER
APP Sports Writer

The weary New York Yankees
and Brooklyn Dodgers, stumbling
along the rock road to Pennant-
vile, are finding their paths
blocked by revenge-minded former
teammates.
The Yankees lead over Cleve-
land was a skinny one game today
following last nights ga loss to
the Browns in st. Louis and the
Indians 81 triumph over Bobby
Shantz and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics.
Brooklyn's once seemingly safe
10 game bulge over New York
dwindled to four as result of
Yesterdays y. loss to the Chicago
Cubs, several hours after the
Giants had thrashed the Pittsburgh
Pirates, III.
Brooklyn's woes we're further in
creased by the rapid climb of st.
Louis "longshot'' Cardinals, who
pushed back into the pennant pic
ture with a rs victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies that left them
s games off the pace.
Two former Yankees-Dick Kry-
hoski and Clint Courtney-teamed
up last night to bring victory to
the Browns. KryhoSki, pinch hit
ting for winning pitcher Dick Little
Sid, doubled off Ray Scarborough
to open the last of the ninth. An
infield hit and an intentional pass,
sandwiched around an out, loaded
the bases.
scarborough's third pitch to
Courtney hit the catcher to force
home Ray Coleman, running for
Kryhoski, with the winning run.
II was four-time loser Littlefield'S
first win of the season.
At Ebbet'S Field former Dodgers
Dee Fondy. and Toby Atwell proved
The big hatchetmen as knuckle-
baller Warren Hacker stifled the
Brooklyn hitters with seven safe
ties. Fondy smashed a run-scoring
triple and Atwell Clipped in with
a single that drove in one of the
tallies in Chicago's big five-run,
fourth-inning rally against loser
Ray Moore and Joe Landrum.
Early Wynn reached his 2O-vic-
tory goal for the second straight
season as he pitched the Indians
to their sixth straight triumph.
Held scoreless through five innings
by Shantz, the Indians rallied for
two runs in the sixth and added
six more in the eighth to hand
the little lefthander his seventh
setback.
A dozen Giant hits, including
homerS by Monte Irwin, Don Muel-
Ter and Alvin Dark, helped rookie
Bill Connolly rack up his fifth
straight success since joining the
club in mid-August. Five Pitts
burgh errors helped considerably,
presenting the Giants with six un-
earned runs. r..-.
Solly Hemus' bases-loaded single
and Red Schoendienst's two-run
double featured a five.run, ninth
inning uprising that gave the Car
dinals their uphill triumph over
the Phillies. Stan Musial got one
hit-his 2,o0oth major league hit
for st. Louis.
