British Jockey Suspended
On Eve of EPSON Derby

LONDON, June 5 (AP).-
Lester Piggott. one Of Britain's
top jockeys, has been barred
from riding in the EPSON
Derby tomorrow. a senior
Jockey Club official said last
night.
Lord Crathorne, senior stew
ard Of the English Jockey Club,
announced this after an inquiry
into Piggott's riding in a race
at Lincoln last week.
Piggott had come in second
on lone, an 11-to-8 chance,
two lengths behind Polly Ma
cav, backed down from 81 to
even-money favorite.
Piggott, who has won the
Derby three times, was barred
for the remainder Of the Lin
coin meeting and the matter
was referred to the Jockey Club
stewards.

said Piggott as he left the
Jockey Club offices after last

nearly two hours,

Series" volunteered Mickey Vernon, who
was Pirates coach at the time.
1--WE got beat 1873 in the second game,
and then 100 and 1910 in the sixth
game. But it's easier to shake off losses
like that, and we did. Many people over
looked that, figured we were dead Just
because we lost by big score.
"You figure that when a ball club
beats you 100 you're going to want to go
out the next day and beat their brains
out. Over a long season, or even in a
World Series, think the guys realize there
are going to be games like that. But you
bounce right back"
But Mickey said nobody ever has found
the solution to bouncing back from the
type of games the Senators have been losing
It's the Illustration of consistently losing
by the misplay, the error or omission, or
the lack of timely hit that gets a ball
club down.

the Twins could win the pennant and
apparently misunderstood the question. II
think they'll finish in the first division"
Mickey replied. When it was repeated,
Mickey responded quickly, ooh, you mean
finish first? Oh, that's different"
The Senators manager shook his head
slowly. "You don't know what those kids,
Allen and Rollins, are going to do in July
and August. I'd say they're holding up
nicely and are playing as well now as in
our last series, but it might be different
in the pressure stages of the pennant race
"And they've got to have Battey catch
ing and Killebrew has to start hitting He
looks bad now. He is swinging at low
pitches and swinging over them. He didn't
get hit against us in the three games
and we threw him nothing but low stuff.
"And Pascual is going to have to get
some help from the other pitchers in fin
ishing games don't believe their bullpen
can keep it up"
Somebody pointed out that when the
Twins beat the Yankees in extra innings
the other night they had three players in
the lineup who were in Class ball last
year, Rollins, Allen and Banks, plus Mar
tinez who was in Class B.
That's what meant about the kids, %
Vernon said. Nobody figures to beat out
the Yankees down the stretch with three
players from Class A and one from B."

Discus Over
2O2 Feet

MOSCOW, June B (APD -
Vladimir TruSenev. who has
done most Of his throwing in
the shadow Of the Soviet's top
musclemen, today held the
world discus record-a mighty
202 feet pa inches.
Until a month ago, Trusenev,
a 31-year-old Leningrad vet
eran, never even had reached
the 190-foot mark. Kim Buk-
hantsev and Algis BaltusnikaS
were winning most of the Soviet
titles.
But yesterday in a city meet
in his home town, according to
I Tass, the official Soviet news
agency, Trusenev got off his
ecord-breaking heave, erasing
AL Oerter's 23-day old pending
record of 200-5l2. The listed
record is 1921, held by Jay
Silveter of Trementon, Utah.
Even the Russians were sur
/ priSed at Trusenev's effort.
They expected Bukhantsev or
BaltuSnikas to make most of
the threatening gestures at the
record. Truserev could do no
better than 18th at the 1860
OlympicS.
At his home in Babylon,
N. Y, Oerter, the 25-year-old,
two-time Olympic gold medal
winner, said he was surprised
that Trusenev broke the record.
1--WE heard of him, but I
didn't think he'd be the guy
to break it." Oerter said. II
can't wait to meet him. Gosh,
you can't throw them far
enough these days"
Oerter and 'Trusenev prob
ably will meet during the
United States Soviet Union
track meet at Stanford Uni
versity July 1928. Last year,
Oerter couldn't get away from
his job long enough to make
the trip to Moscow for the dual
meet.
1t was at the Coliseum Re-
lays in Los Angeles that Oerter
became the first discus thrower
in history to break the magic
200-foot barrier.
The Soviets never really have
been top discus throwers. This
is the first time a Russian ever
has held the world record.
Further, the Soviets didn't get
to the 190-mark until last
year when BaltuSnikas set a
national record of 1907.
Oerter, Sylvester and Edmund
Piatkowski of Poland had been
throwing over 100 feet for
years.
Just a month ago. Bukhant-
sew broke Baltusnikas' mark
with a heave of 1876 IL at Les
elidze. TruSenev was second in
that meet with a 1903 flip.

Schoive Knows EN- All
From Tours in Minors

BALTIMORE, JUNE 5.-John Schaive,
the Senators utility infielder, is ball
player who would be in the upper brackets
if he was just step faster, or a flick
quicker with the wrists. Shive, as his
buddieS call him, is highly entertaining
fellow. He has quick wit and is sharper
with the ad lib than anybody on the team.
John was born in Springfield, ILL.,, and
lives in Columbus, Ohio, but somewhere
along the line he has picked up a drawl
that bellies his Midwestern upbringing. He
claims it is from playing with so many
Southern ballplayerS in his tours of the
minors
Schaive gives his all when he gets
chance. He's a sucker for the first pitch
whether it's good or bad, and when he
swings he doesn't have singles in mind
When he connects he gets down the first
base line reasonably fast for 28-year-old
with fire-plug build.
John doesn't command the attention
the fans give Piersan or Woodling, but
when the players are milling around dur
ing batting practice and warmupS, every
body knows Ole Shive.
IN MINNEAPOLIS THE bullpens are
beyond the fence in deepest right-center-
field and behind screens The only way
relief pitcher who is warming up can be
identified from the bench is by his motion.
It's impossible to recognize him otherwise,
by looks or number.
When the Twins had BELIEVERS warm
ing up in the Senators series, Schaive was
identifying them from the bench. That's

man or Donohue or Moore"

Martinez, that new kid at shortstop, and
I'll probably catch him on the way down"

BALTIMORE, June 5. - The
Senators open a four-game
series with the Orioles with a
twi-night double-header here
tonight, and it would be just
as well if Manager Mickey Ver-
non left his hard-luck stories
at home.
Billy Hitchcock, the Orioles

His club has lost seven of its
last nine games and IL of its
last II.
Jim Gentle, leading the
American League in home runs
will be playing four more games
in the stadium where he has
hit only two of his Is.
Gus Triandos has 20 more
days on the disabled list and
Charley Lau, his replacement
has thrown out only three OF
the 20 who have attempted to
steal against him.
Attendance SIumps
Steve Barber, who will moi
pitch in this series, has beer
routed in his last three starts
He says it is becoming increas.
ingly difficult to pitch on his
once-a-week schedule.
Boog Powell is out with 8
deep bruise on his left thigh
and Jimmy Adair is sidelinec
with a dislocated left shoulder
They may be available later
this week.
And to top off the Orioles
troubles, their attendance ha.
taken a tremendous drop. Al
first it was blamed on the
weather, but now it is obvious
that the Baltimoreans have
given up on the club for the
time being.
Despite their setbacks, the
Orioles are only 51a games from
the top, even though they're
in eighth place, two percentage
points back of the Athletics.

nothing wrong with this team
that a five or six-game win
ming streak wouldn't cure"
