BERN, Switzerland. Aug. 3d.
The greatest of all five European
track and field championships
showed today the emergence Of
Russia as a steadily increasing
power and marked the defeat of
one of the worlds greatest run
nerS.
There was something sad in
seeing Emil Zatopek of Czecho-
slovakia surrender his crown
yesterday in the 5.000-meter
run.
Zatopek recognized he was
outclassed by a sturdy Russian
sailor. Vladimir Kuc, and he
appeared listless and didn't even
try for second place against
Britain's Chris Chataway.
This was no fiuke defeat for
the man who won three gold
medals in the 1852 Olympics at
Helsinki. and who held every
world mark from 3 miles and up.
Kuc broke Zatopek's world
record with a masterful Is

bettered the Chataway : Fred

Orioles Set 10 Hand
Supreme Indignity
To Senators Today
By Burton Hawkins

The Senators are in q position
to have the supreme indignity
of the season inflicted on them.
BY losing to the inept Orioles
today at Griffith Stadium, they
could achieve three straight de-
feats by Baltimore. a feat which
requires considerable teamwork
of a negative nature.
Losing three in row to the
Orioles Is something that has
been accomplished previously
only by the Athletics and Tigers.
The AS dropped four successive
games to Baltimore earlier in the
season when q display Of en-
thusiasm for the leagues newest
club didn't necessarily denote
rocks in the head.
Sleeper Than Customers.
The Senators placed them
selves in their rare predicament
by dropping a double-header to
the Orioles yesterday. 8-4 and
SO, before a crowd Of 5,691.
Most of those fans were lulled
into drowsiness by the uninspir-
ing performance of the Sen
ators, but they never became
quite as sleepy as the players
themselves.
This was proved in the sew
enth inning Of the second game,
when the Senators came up with
a nifty double-play attempt with
two out. This has been tried be-
fore, Of course. but it isn't q rec
commended method of convincing
customers everybody's on his
toes.
With Joe Coleman on first
base and two down, Cal Abrams
slapped a grounder to Mickey
Vernon, who promptly fred the
ball to Shortstop Jerry Snyder
at second base for the third out.
Snyder, not to be outsnoozed by
Vernon, slammed the ball back
at Mickey, who leaped high,
came down and tagged Abrams,
jogging down the line and Won
dering what was going on.
Turley Faces Stone.
Bob Turley, bidding for his
18th win, is hopeful the Sena-
tors will continue their lack
luster play today. Dean Stone,

handed slugger.
Rhodes smacked two triples in
the opener to tie the game and
put the New Workers into a brief
extra inning lead, but st. Louis
took it away in the 18th, 5-4.
His two home runs and two
doubles in the nightcap played a
big part in New York's IA win.
Dusty, who was retired only
once in seven times at bat yes
terday, has raised his batting
average now to q hefty 1886,
but against the Redbirds he has
q fantastic .625.
He's hit IA homers this sea-
son and half of those came
of Cardinal pitching.
With his six blows Rhodes
tied a mark for extra-base hits
in a double-header, including
one extra inning game, held by
Chick Hafey of the Cardinals
in 1928: Mel OFT of the Giants in
1929, and Jimmy Foxx of the
Athletics in 1888. Three play
ers, Joe Medwick and Red
Schoendienst of the Cards and
John Stone Of the Tigers, hold
the same record Of six extra
base hits in a regular. 18-in-

Rhodes, who doesn't think
much of the idea he can't hit
southpaws, said: when I'm
hitting I don't even know who

Dodgers Wary of Celebrating;
Rhodes Captures Regular Job

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 30.-The
Dodgers, who clinched their sec
ond straight National League
pennant here last September IL,
took a long stride toward their
third yesterday-but there wasn't
a man in the clubhouse who'd
admit it.
The Dodgers, who had just fin
ished whipping the Braves, 1874
and liza, the first one a record
setting eight-run explosion in
the 18th inning, were surprising
ly subdued in the clubhouse. The
twin win. coupled with New
York's split at st. Louis, pulled
Brooklyn within 11z games of
the league-leading Giants.

we've stubbed our toes, too" said
Peewee Reese, cautious Brooklyn
captain.

work." Manager Walter Aston
said, "but we've still got a long

The double victory extended
the Dodgers winning streak to
six straight. During that span
they have raped out 76 hits,
including Is home runs, good for
So runs. They laced II Milwau-
kee pitchers for 20 hits, four Of
them home runs-a pair by Duke
Snider, raising his total to 80.
Gil Hodges 35th and RUDE Wal
ker's fifth.
The eight-run foray in the 18th

against the old Boston Braves
