All Of the teams appeared
much smaller than expected.

The Germans included athletes
from both the Communist East

They marched in drab gray suits
behind a tri-color bearing the
five Olympic rings.
The mammoth Japanese team
was one of the most striking of
the parade, dressed in white
from head to foot. Only one

Don Larsen, who has been on
a long toboggan ride since his
perfect-game no-hitter against
the Dodgers in the 1856 World
Series, will be striving for his
major league life with Kansas
City when he tangles with the
Senators tonight at Griffith
Stadium.
The Athletics also will be
trying for the rubber game of
the series, having squared it
last night with a GA victory
over the Senators.
Larsen's only victory in nine
decisions this season has been
at Washington's expense and
he's needing some steady per-
formances to convince his
bosses he should linger on the
scene. An unhealthy earned
run average of SIT indicates
the road has been rough, but
Don recently has displayed vast
improvement.
In his last start, Larsen
pitched eight innings against
the White Sox. yielding only six
hits and one run in a game won
by Chicago, 80. Prior to that.

Has Been Skidding
Larsen. who won II games
before he retired 81 Dodgers
in order to become the only
pitcher in World Series history
to work a perfect game, dipped
to 10 triumphs in 1857. 9 in
1858 and 6 in 1859 before the
Yankees shipped him to Kansas
City.
Denoted earlier this season
to Dallas. Don now is cunning
for his second win. He'll be op-
posed by Chuck Stobbs, who
knows what sort of agony Lar
sen is experiencing. 1t was
Stobbs who had a l-8 record
last year, but this season he's
8-5 and evidence for Larsen
that luck can turn.
Tonight will be Ladies Night

men will be enlisted in the Air
Force at home plate. After the
game they'll take off for basic
training in Texas.

The Yankees, out in front
in the American League by IA
games-no thanks to Roy Sic

rest today before starting a
rugged week end of action, six
games in three days.
The Indians play a twi-night
double-header at Yankee Sta

other double Saturday, while
the Tigers follow the Indians
into the Bronx for a Sunday
le-header.
The Yankees kept their top
spot with a 80 victory over
the White Sox yesterday, de-
spite two home runs and q
double by Sievers. The Orioles
moved back into a second-place
tie with Chicago by betting De-
troit, 90. last night, while the
Indians moved into a fourth
place tie with the Senators by

Yankees were a game under

is New York's reversal of form

Pirates Ready
Now for Talk
OF nj Pennant
BY the Associated Press

The Pittsburgh Pirates, 30
games over 500 and ia games
in front, now can start think
ing about the National League
pennant on an official basis, if
you follow the formula set up
by Billy Southworth.
When he was managing the
st. Louis Cardinals tc three
pennantS in the early 1905,
and again when he won with
the old Boston Braves in 1948,
Southworth told his clubs. You
don't have any right even to
think pennant until you get
80 games over 500"
Every game over 80 entities
you to think more and more
about the pennant," he used to
say. Then one day you either
run out of games to play, or
get so far ahead that they tell
you the magic number is zero.
Then" Southworth would
add, you can start talking
about a pennant, too"
Another Late Victory
The Pirates put themselves
80 games above the break-even
point, at 75-45, with another
last-inning victory, 1915. over
the Chicago Cubs yesterday.
And they moved 7la games
ahead once more when the Los
Angeles Dodgers. led by Frank
Howard slugged second place
Milwaukee, So. in a night
game.
Third-place st. Louis slipped
nine games behind with a 5-3
loss to Philadelphia. Cincin-
natl beat San Francisco. 3-2,
in l3 innings.
The Pirates, rolling up %
victories in 80 games since they
slipped out of first place for one
day just a month ago, blew a
I6-3 lead behind Vern Law, 49,
game winner, before mailing the
Cubs in the ninth. A double
by Bob Skinner, who hurt his
leg sliding into second, and
consecutive home runs by Dick
Stuart and Roberto Clemente
broke it up in a four-run rally
that beat Reliever Don Elston,
Roy Face was the winner with
two innings of hitless relief.
2 Homers for Howard
The Dodgers, beaten by five
Milwaukee home runs Tuesday
night, came from behind with
four homers for all their runs
against the Braves and de-
feated Bob Buhl, one-time
nemesis, for the fourth time in
seven decisions. Howard Socked
two of the home runs, giving
him 20 for the season. He's
hit nine of them, and driven in
II runs, against the Braves in
13 games.
Tommy Davis and Wally
Moon, whose two-run clout of
Reliever Carl Wiley clinched it
in the fifth inning, hit the other
two home runs in support OF
Johnny Podres. The Dodgers
southpaw gave up eight hits
one a two-run homer by Ed
Mathews in the first inning
mat made Mathews the first
ever to hit 80 home runs in
eight consecutive seasons in the
MI. He also tied Mel Otis
league record for most 3O-home
run seasons.
Art Mahaffey, the Phillies
unbeaten rookie whose other
two victories were over Pitts
burgh and Milwaukee, beat the
third-place Cards with a five
hit job. He needed relief help
from Chris Short, however,
after Ken Boyer's 26th homer
in the eighth, the Cards only
earned run. Lee Walls and
Tony Taylor homered for the
Phils, who beat Larry Jackson
