m. imiiiuwuumuimiiwmjui HOME IIOII BY WOU IN 8TH GIVES VETERAN 2-1 TRIUMPH By- DAVID CONDON SOX WIH, 1-0, ON HOME RUN BY APARICIO THIRTEEN YEARS ago Arnie Winick was a professional dog handler and was dunning a lady for her pooch's board bill. She settled by giving Winick a thorobred filly named Miss Navanod, and the hero of the morning's opus he's now 33 was off to the races. "But it took a while," remembers Joins Immortals Winick, "because I had to walk and gallop and train that filly for two years before we made the winner's circle." Winick has been a regular tenant in the winner's circle since and. during frt the recent Arlington Park phase of the -rf oat 1 1 racing uuuer way at Aiuiigtuu rm topped all trainers with 25 winners.

This success, we report, did not endear him to our leathery old friend, W. H. Hal Bishop, who may rightfully consider the local, state, and world training championships to be his personal property. Our society editor says you do not invite Arnie Winick and Hal Arnie Winick J. Bishop to the same party.

Nonetheless, Winick's work has endeared him to many prominent developers of the breed. They include R. F. Ben-singer, of the Brunswick clan; Herbert Herff, and Maurice B. Frank, the mild-mannered Chicagoan who is happy to be back in racing after a few hectic weeks as proprietor of Ingemar Johansson's training camp in Palm Beach last spring.

Frank called from his automobile telephone to tout us on Winick's ability. OTHER OWNERS share Frank's confidence in Winick, whose public stable always numbers between 50 and 65 thorobreds. On Winick's advice, Herff paid $52,000 for" a Nashua-Obedient colt named Obey. The colt ran fourth to Ridan in the Arlington Futurity and Herff seems contented, tho this corner's personal opinion is that if we paid $52,000 for a nag that ran out of the money we'd be sorry we hadn't taken a second look before making the purchase. A few days ago, at the Keeneland yearling sales, Winick bid one hundred and twenty-six thousand of Mr.

Bensinger's dollars for a four-legged athlete of Swaps-Obedient breeding. The colt went to another bidder for $130,000 but Winick came home with four yearlings to train for Bensinger. Bensinger may have some great bargains if Winick is as shrewd in purchasing yearlings as he is at claiming other owner's discards for his stable. Arnie once stabbed a sore-legged 6 year old from Brookmeade and won 14 races with the horse, Going Away, in 14 months. He also speared Grand Canyon from Brookmeade for $9,000 and before we finished with him, we had won more than $100,000." WINICK'S SUCCESS formula: I place my horses properly.

I don't let them tackle opposition over their heads. Horses seem to know their class and always run best with their kind. vXlifrin!

Time 1:32. Attendance 20,941. BY EDWARD PRELL Well, it "was like old times, say 25 or 30 years ago, last evening in Comiskey park. The ladies' night crowd of 36,852 hardly was comfortably seated before the White Sox and the Kansas City Athletics had concluded their business in one hour and 32 minutes. The Score, 1 to 0, for the White Sox, had a nostalgic flavor, too.

The only modern touch was the way it was scored on a third inning homer by the suddenly mighty 155-pound Luis Aparicio. Fastest of the Season Billy Pierce, the grand little White Sox southpaw, who has not had too much to cheer about this year, held the 10th place A's to five singles and fanned six. Like his victim, 28-year -old Jim Archer, a rookie and also a southpaw, Pierce walked no one. It was the swiftest game in the majors this season. The previous fastest one was on May 14 when the Red Sox and Senators reeled off nine innings in 1:41.

The American league record time of 55 minutes was established in 1926 by the Yankees and the old St. Louis Browns. The New York Giants and Phillies of 1919 hold the major league record, 51 minutes. One Rough Inning The White Sox bullpen crew sat like statues and there was only one flurry among the A's relief pitchers, this when Nellie Continued on page 3, col. 3 TOTAL ITS W.

Marflsin, Cfciciga, 2, 10. i STATE. II "Horses give more consistent performances when not called upon to run in faster company. I also believe in resting a horse that begins to go stale in training." In claiming, Winick searches for gems that once raced in stakes or allowance events. This brings him older horses, but better ones.

And Winick has one pet rider for those better horses. He is Bill Hartack. Winick says: "I'll give Hartack a job any time I can get him. He makes a horse deliver every possible fraction of speed." T' Curtis Loses; Yields Only 6 Hits BY RICHARD DOZER 'Chicago Tribune Press Sen Ice Milwaukee, Aug. 11 Baseball had its 13th 300 game winner tonight Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves.

He beat the Chicago Cubs, 2 to 1, on six hits in this Wisconsin city where big things on the baseball field have been infrequent in the days of the Braves' disintegration since the 1957 world's championship. A home run in the eighth inning by Gino Cimoli, a member of the Milwaukee outfield cast for only 58 days, was the instrument of victory for the 40 year Spahn, who first put on a Braves uniform 20 seasons ago. Breaks Deadlock Rocketed deep into the left field seats on the first pitch to him by Jackie Curtis, Cimoli's home run" sent a crowd of 40,775 into wild ecstacy, broke a 1 to 1 deadlock, and left Spahn with only the task of retiring the Cubs in. the ninJi. But like the rest of the game, the verdict was not sealed without a spirited battle from the Cubs.

Andre Rodgers, who drove across the only Cub run earlier in the game, struck out to open the ninth. Jerry Kindall n't a line drive nara into center field, but Cimoli, dashing toward the infield, slid on his knees to make a spectacular catch and add another heroic deed to his game winning homer. Now Spahn was confronted by S. Swim Queen Smashes Tonight, under perfect weather conditions, he reached 193-6 with his first throw, then beat the record with this second. It was a warm summer night and there was no wind to affect the chances of Silvester's record being accepted by the International Amateur Athletic federation.

Wins Shot Put, Too Silvester, 23 years old and weighing 230 pounds ten more than when he was in college has shown remarkable improve ment in the discus over the past two years. In college his Skyline conference record was 179-6. In the trials for the 1960 Olympics he could reach only 181-2, placing fourth and failing to make the team. He reached 190 feet for the first time last August. Silvester later won the shot put with a toss of 58 feet, 9 inches.

American pole vaulters finished 1-2-3 in their specialty. John Uelze took first place with a vault of 14 feet, 9 inches; Mai Schwartz cleared 14 feet, 5Vs inches, and Jjm Johnston did 13 feet, 9Vi inches. i CIBS AB RBI A'E Heist, ef 4000400 2h 40304ZO Santo. 3b 3 1 0 0 0 0.0 Altman. rf 4 1 1 0 Williams, If 4 0 1 2 11 Rodcers, lb 4 0 1 1 A 1 Kindall, ss 4 0 1 1 4 Bertell.

Time 2:25. Attendance 40,793. Total home runs to date. Ernie Banks, reduced to a pinth hitter's role at the suggestion of his eye specialist. Banks drove a pitch a few feet foul far down the left field line, then hit- a routine hopper to Eddie Mathews to third base.

Throws High But Mathews, taking Joo much time to aim the ball, threw high for the Braves' second error of the warm night With Banks safe at first, another pinch hitter, Jim Mo Anany, was called forth. Spahn had never faced the bespectacled utility hitter in a major league game. The tension mounted and Ihe throng was hushed to the extent that Mathews could be heard pounding his glove in disgust. McAnany connected with a pitch on the outer portion of the plate and sent it Hank Aaron in right field to rtid the game. 'J.

It was Spahn's 12th victorylof an arduous campaign for him. He has lost the same numberof decisions, but except for three Cub singles in the sixth inning, he seldom has been better. "He struck out five, walked only and earlier drove in the game's first run with a sacrifice fly.

Eddie Plank won 325, concluding his career in 1917t Cy Young, who won 5J1 games, was the biggest winner of all-time.

And while anything approaching this figure is on-heard of in modern baseball, Spahn undoubtedly would be beyond 300 by now, had it flot been for three full seasons in service. v.

11 (LTD Warren Spahn. a grinning picture of triumph in his sweat-stained uniform, said tonight his 300th victory was the toughest of my career, but 1 deserved it. 1 Spahn toasted his teammates in tho invful Rravet' dressing room after defeating the Chicago Cubs, 2 to 1, to become only the 13th pitcher ever to win 300 games or more. Clasping his hero-worshipping 12 year old son, Gregory, the great southpaw said, I wanted this one real bad and I de-1 served to win." Was Toughest Game This was the toughest game of my career," said Spahn, who picked up his first victory back in the summer of 1946 when he was a 25 year old thrower fresh from three years of army service. Spahn said the pressure of the game "was terrific and every inning got tougher." He said it built up because of "so much ballyhoo about this one." The strain got worse after the Cubs tied it in the sixth, Spahn said I sure was glad to see that ball go out of the park," said Spahn about Gino Cimoli's game winning homer in the eighth.

Nice Pitching "Nice pitching dad," said little Greg who pushed up his face to get a kiss on the cheek from his father. "You should have seen mother," the excited boy said. She hollored more than I've ever heard before when you got that last out." The whole Braves' team felt relieved at Spahn getting the triumph that put him even higher into the standings of baseball's all-time greats. He pitched a real good game," said Manager Charlie Dressen, who wouldn't have dared to pull Spahn out of this contest no matter how it went. More than 40,000, the largest crowd was behind Spahn all the way.

at County stadium since 1959, Even a big contingent of Chicago rooters whooped it up for him when it was all over. Spahn repeated what he had said a couple of nights ago that winning his 300th was "my greatest thrill in baseball."
