IN NAIA TRACK CARNIVAL
By BEN PHLEGAR
AP Sports Writer
The next 30 days should decide
the fate ol Boston in the 1*54
American League race. Will the
Red Sox bloom 10 June or ore
they doomed to second division?
. After a horrible spring of in-
juries and bad weather forced Lou
Boudreau to go with a make-do
lineup that didn’t, the new month
finds the Red Sox settling in for
an 18-game home stand in friendly
Fenway Park.
----They own a three game winning
streak for the first time this sea-
son They’ve gotten route-going
performances from their pitcher*
in two of their last three contests.
And Ted Williams is due to start
bustin’ out all ever after being
back in action for two weeks.
If the Rad Sox can't move now
there tout much hope they will
after the midway point since the
first division teams already have
a good jump. Boston is 11% games
out of first place.
Boston was the only club to
either league to sweep a Memorial
Day double-header yesterday.
They buried Philadelphia 30-10 to
league season, then mopped up 9 0
to the nightcap.
The Cleveland Indians stayed a
game ahead of the Chicago White
Sox to first piece by whipping ths
White Sox 63 on Jim Hegan’s
eighth-inning home run after los-
ing 6-4 as Bob Keegan posted his
seventh victory in eight decisions.
I Washington's senators, who
i cause the New York Yankees more
trouble than an investigating com-
mittee, beat the world champions
1-0 on Johnny Schmitz' three-hit-
tor. Then they pushed the second
game into extra innings before
bowing 76 in 10. Spec Shea forced
home the winning run with a bases,
loaded walk.

7-5 victory at Baltimore, than last

ACC will pin its title hopes on
exceptional strength in the 440
yard dash with both George
Adrian and Leon Lepard entered;
in the 220 with Adrian and Don
Gonder; in the 880 with Lepard
heading the field; and in the hur-
dles with • Mack Clark, Weldon
Hays and Burl McCoy all ia fine
fiddle. •
South Dakota State has three en-
tries in the 440, although none is
expected to beat out Adrian or
Lepard. The Jackrabbits also have
possible points in the low hurdles
and in the 400-meter hurdles, dis-
cus throw and shot put.
Brightest events for the invad-
ers are in the distance races. Nash
could give Lepard and North Tex-
as State's Paul Patterson a run
for their money in the 880, al-
though it will probably be that the
South Dakota entry will wind up
in a battle with Ben Moving of
Eastern Washington State for
third.
And, in the open mile, although
Nash and Jack Pearson aren't ex-
pected to beat Whittier’s mighty
Russ Bonham for the blue ribbon,
they stack up strong for second
and third. Bonham has a 4:12.1
blocking for his best time this
year while both Nash and Pearson
have 4:18.8‛s the second best
among the entries.
The two-mile event rounds out
the South Dakota strength with
five boys entered from the
school. Hans Schink of tiny Luth-
er College looms as the favorite
with a best time of 9:35.0 but with
this many mm entered some
strange things could happen down
ths line. Nash has the best time
of the quintet of Rabbits with
a 9:47.6 clocking. Pearson and Bill
Fairley, his teammate, have iden-
tical 9:47.7‛s which would make
for possible seconds and thirds in
the event.

To5th After Win
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It took Albuquerque 11 innings
to do it but Monday night they
knocked over the league-leading
Clovis Pioneers 8-7 as relief pitcher
Ernie Sadler walked in the tie-
breaking run and left the losers
with a slim one-game lead on the
pack.
Meanwhile, Abilene moved to
fifth place in the league by defeat-
ing Plainview 76. Amarillo whip-
ped Borger 4-1 and Pampa took
an 8-6 win over cellar-dwelling
Lubbock in the other two games.
The Albuquerque win on a walk
came when Sadler lost control and
walked two men after yielding a
single to John Walker. Duke cen-
terfielder Pedro -Santiago waited
out the righthander for the walk
and the winning run in the person
of Walker.-
At Plainview, Abilene squeezed
in two runs in the top of the eighth
to cinch the game after trailing 6-5
going into the inning. Plainview,
who held the fifth spot in the
standings before the game, led,
most of the way. But Abilene
scored two runs in the sixth to -
tie up the game 5-5 Plainview
tallied another in the sixth.
The Amarillo Gold Sox, playing
at home, had little trouble with
the hapless Borger Gassers. Taylor
Smith pitched a four-hitter in gain-
ing his second win of the season.
Amarillo earned their four runs
in the first, and third innings and
Smith held Borger to a single tally
in the seventh.
At Pampa, the Oilers were be-
hind only once in taking their vic-
tory over last place Lubbock. A
four-run Lubbock second inning put
the Rubbers in front 4-3 after Pam- _
pa scored two in the first and one
in the second.
The Oilers came right back to
the third with two runs and added
two more in the fifth and another
in the sixth. Lubbock was held to
one tally each in the fifth and sev-
enth.
The win went to Jonas Gaines,
his fifth of the season against no
defeats.
Landy Runs
4:01.6 Mile
TURKU, Finland, June 1 un —
Australia’s John Landy, who has
been flirting with the four-minute
mile for the last two years, ran
the distance without pressure to-
day in 4:01.6, equalling the fourth
fastest performance ever recorded.
His time for the 1,500 meters,
the metric mile which is 130 yards
short of a mile, was 3:43.4, just
four-tenths of a second off the
world record shared by a quartet
of runners.
This was the second tremendous
mile effort in three days and came
less than a month after England's
Roger Bannister stunned the track
world by crashing the four-minute
barrier with a mark of 3.59.4 at
Oxford, 1
Last Saturday night the Univer-
sity of Kansas' Wes Santee, Amer-
ica's hope for the mile record,
turned in the second fastest mile
in history when he unleashed a
4 01.3 performance at Mission.
