The worlds greatest mile

Coach Percy Cerutty. is his
Aussie protege, Herb Elliott.
Elliott is here for Friday

Herb is ready TO, run his best

Elliott is a 20-year-old, long

discovered three years ago.

the youth had a tremendous
potential and set about to ex-
plot it. He has lived with

supplanted Hal Griggs with the

to force across a run and the
Red Sox led, 80.
Thereafter the man was hard
to get along with. The Red
Sox didn't nick him for a run
until the ninth, when Ted Will
liams doubled and Frank NAL

Brewer, running for williams.
Hyde has permitted only two
runs in his last 81 innings.
The addition of a screwball to
his repertoire has made him a
formidable pitcher. Evidence
that he's fooling people is pre-
sented in the five strikeouts he
notched.
The Senators, 6-l against
Boston in an astonishing start,
have stamped themselves as
comebackers. They've come
from behind in eight of their
l3 victories. They've figured in
seven games decided by one run

Weep no more for Willie

those Los Angeles Dodgers and
discovered they're his old
Brooklyn buddies.
After % games with San
Francisco this season. Willie
was batting a dandy .372, but
folks we're concerned. The kid
who had led the Giants in
home runs and runs-batted-in
for the last four years had only
nine extra-base hits, and only
one of those a homer. while
knocking in just nine runs.
Then he recognized those
Dodgers, the guys he's always
killed, and started betting. In
three games against Los An
geles, he's raped five home
runs and driven in II runs.
Mays hit a pair of homers,
including the second grand
slam of his career, and drove
in five runs last night as the
Giants ripped the Dodgers,
1873, before 29,77O fans at Los
Angeles and moved within a
half-game Of the National
League lead with their fifth
straight victory.
Dodgers in Cellar
1t was the fourth consecu-
