PHILADELPHIA. May g.
Peewee Reese banged a fifth
inning homer into the leftf1eld
stands with one man aboard
tonight as the Dodgers shut out
the Phillies, 80, in a game
called after six innings because
of rain.
Johnny Podres limited the
Phillies to three hits for his
third victory, which put Brook
lyn in a hairbreadth lead in the
National League. Murry Dick
son was the loser.
Reese's homer. his fifth of the
season, came after two outs in
the fifth with Johnny Podres on
base. Willie Jones had booted
Podres' easy grounder, setting
the stage for Peewee's two-run
blow.
Brooklyn's final run came in
the sixth. Duke Snider tripled
and came home on a passed ball
charged to Smokey Burgess, who
had replaced injured Stan Lo-

CHICAGO, May 8. - Sharp
pitching Ned Carver, who now
has yielded only three runs in
81 innings, hurled the Tigers
into the league lead behind a
18-hit assault which blasted the
White Sox, 12-1, today. Chicago's

The Tigers clawed five Chicago

ploding for Six-run sixth after

Carver, 28-year-old right

used 10 players.

BALTIMORE, May 8.-The
weak-hitting Orioles outslugged
the pennant-hopeful Cleveland
Indians here tonight, but Cleve-
land won the game. 5-3, before
20,431 top-coated fans.
One big inning was all the
third-place Indians needed to
win. They pounded Duane Pill
lette for all their runs in the
fourth inning. The Orioles got
their runs in the sixth, two on
homer by Sam Mele, formerly
with Washington.
In losing their fifth straight
game and their eighth in the last
nine, the Orioles gave the chilled
crowd a couple of thrills, includ-
ing a ninth-inning rally that
died aborning.
Double Play Ends Hopes.
With one out in the ninth and
Hal Newhouser, Cleveland's third
pitcher. on the mound, Chuck
Diering raped a single to center
and Dick Kryhoski, who got two
of the Orioles hits, drew a walk.
But Pinch-hitter Bob Kennedy

the game.

hitter, failed in the eighth with
two men on base and two out.

Enthusiasm Not Dimmed.
Baltimore's failure to hit in
the clutches and the lengthening
losing streak didn't dim the
enthusiasm of tonight's crowd.
It was breezy, cool. and a brief,
light drizzle fell midway in the
game. but the fans didn't seem
to mind. They cheered at every
opportunity and seemed salts
fed that the Orioles did their
best.

Indians, but Bobby Avila

Olympic Champ
Exceeds Record
By Big Margin
Ft.-5M-Inch Toss
Comes on Second Try;
81 Feet Now Goal
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, May g.
Parry O'Brien of Los Angeles
today made a shambles of the
previously impenetrable 60-foot
mark in the shotput when he
officially surpassed the distance
twice and wound up a record
shattering day with an amazing
toss of go feet 5H inches.
Just as England's Roger Ban.
mister broke the four-minute
mile barrier three days ago. the
former University of Southern
California giant pushed the To-
pound shot past the much
sought 60-foot mark.
The 22-year-old holder Of the
world record, with perform
ance that astounded several
thousand track and field fans
gathered for the UCLA-USC dual
Pacific Coast Conference meet,
actually broke his own world
record three times before con-
cluding the series.
Another highlight of the day
was high jump of 6 feet ga
inches by Ernie Shelton of
Southern California which
helped the Trojans defeat UCLA,
9512 to 351a. He barely missed
at 6 feet 1924.
Amazing Warmup Toss.
O'Brien, 1852 Olympic cham
pion, signaled what was to come
when he tossed the 16-pound
iron ball unofficially 60 feet, 4
inches in his first warmup while
he was still wearing his sweat
suit, complete with pants and
jacket.
O'Brien last year set the off,
cial world record of So feet, 2H
inches. Two weeks ago he bet
tered the mark in an exhibition
at the Drake Relays, registering
SO feet, ga inches. Application
for acceptance of the mark was
in the works until he went on
his rampage today.
The tremendous 60-foot, 5H-
inch throw came on his second
official try. 1t brought an i'm
mediate roar from the crowd.
If the practice performance had
not been convincing enough, this
was the official clincher.
The 220-pound athlete, now
competing for the Los Angeles
Athletic Club, on his next ap-
pearance in the ring let go for
60 feet "a inch.
Tailed OFF at End.
After these brilliant efforts he
tailed off bit, but still bettered
his own world mark once more
with a put of SO feet 10H inches.
Here is the order of his off,
cial tosseS:
1.-Fouled. (The ball also
slipped and hardly reached the
measuring area).
$50 feet, 514 inches.
SO feet, "a inch.
4.-59 feet, 10H inches.
5.-Fouled. (Unofficially So
feet, 10l4 inches)
6.-58 feet, 1924 inches.
O'Brien competed in an event
listed formally on the program
as a special open shotput. OFF,
cials of the meet said all speci-
f1cations had been met and ap-
plication would be made for &C
ceptance of the mark as a new
world standard.
