By HERBERT W. BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer. The New York Yankees continue to coast far out in front of the rest of the American league pack but there are prospects of another bitter stretch duel in the National.

Where the Yankees lead by games with no signs of a slump, the National league race has tightened up to a point where only 5 games seperate the league-leading Pittsburgh Pirates and the fifth place Brooklyn Dodgers. Pirates in Slump. Pittsburgh, in the midst of its worst slump of the season, dropped a double bill to the Boston Bra'ves Sunday, 2-1 and 7-6. The Corsairs now have dropped 9 games in a row since opening their eastern invasion with 6 victories out of 7 games against the New York Giants. Ed Brandt outpitched Steve Swetonic and Larry French by a slight margin in the opener.

The second was decided in the ninth when the winning run came across on an error by young Floyd Vaughn. The Braves' triumph lifted them back into third place, a half game ahead of the idle Phillies. The Chicago Cubs, holding second place, picked up a full game on the leaders by dividing 2 games with the Giants, and now trail by only a game and a half. Lon Warneke, sensational Cub rookie, stopped the Giants with 5 hits in the opener and won, 8-2. Waite Hoyt scattered 8 hits as the Giants won the nightcap, 8- 1.

Dodgers, Reds Split. Brooklyn and Cincinnati also split 2 games, the Dodgers taking the first, 6-1 and the Reds the second, 9- 5. The Cleveland Indians, surprise contenders for the American league championship, whipped the Washington Senators twice and moved into second place, 2 percentage points ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics. The Indians received excellent pitching from Willis Hudlin and Jack Russell and timely batting from the cast to win 7-4 and 6-2 decisions. The Athletics got no better than an even break with the Chicago White Sox as Ted Lyons outpitched Lefty Grove in the opener, 3-1.

Tony Freitas, Athletic rookie, held the White Sox to 3 hits to win the second game, 1-0. Yanks Swing Big Bat. The Yankees, meanwhile, battered out 29 hits against assorted St. Louis Brown pitching and won 2 games, 11-5 and 9-4. Frank Crosetti, rookie Yankee shortstop, drove in 8 runs during the day with 2 homeruns and 2 triples.

One of Babe Ruth's 4 hits in the opener was his thirty-first homer of the season. Johnny Stone's homer with one on in the seventh gave Detroit a 3-1 verdict over the Boston Red Sox. WIN FIRST GAME 2-1 BUT LOSE IN SECOND TILT 9-2 Squeeze Play Nearly Breaks Up Game as Player is Ejected From Park. A squeeze play in which Isaiah Carpenter was injured internally and Dick Byas was ejected from the ball park nearly broke up Sunday's game between Corwith and the Mason Citv Bats at the fairgrounds. The action of Dan Shire, umpire, in calling Officer Buchanan into the park avoided a fight at the home Dlate and the game was resumed after the Bats refused to take a forfeit victory.

The game closed with Mason City the victor 2-1. The forfeit was offered by Umpire Shire when Cirwith was not ready to play within the 5 minute lime limit. Corwith protested the ejection of Byas from the park, which Umpire Shire said he did because of unsportsmanlike conduct, when the runner fouled Carpenter in running into him in attempting to steal home. Taken to Hospital. Carpenter finished the game at the catching post, while Johnson struck out.

Carpenter was then carried from the ball park. Internal pains developed and he was taken to the hospital and was unable to play in the evening game at Corwith. He was released from the hospital Monday. J. B.

Grifrm was again the master hurler on the mound Sunday against the Night Hawks and held Corwith to 4 hits while Freddie Sims gave up 7. Griffin struck out 14 men to Sims' 7 and each pitcher walked 2 men. Griffin held Corwith scoreless until the fourth when Sims sent one too hot to handle to Griffin for the first hit of the Night Hawks. The next time Griffin was at bat he clouted a triple, the only extra base hit of the game, for his revenge. Wins Own Game.

Griffin won his own game in the fifth with a neat single that scored Derrick and Mitchell. It was the third blow in a row the Bats had nicked off Sims that inning. Griffin hit 3 times in 4 times at bat. His pitching foe, Sims, hit twice in 3 times at bat. Corwith's lone run came in the fourth when Byas scored on Haley's Sims got the first hit of the game for Corwith immediately following this but Johnson was caught out by Carpenter on a foul ball and the side was retired.

Sims threatened to score in the second by reaching third on an error and 2 steals with only one down but Griffin struckout the next 2 men. Byas threatened to score in the ninth with 2 men down and 2 strikes on Johnson when the squeeze play occurred that nearly ended the game. RESULTS WESTERN I.F.AGIE Den Moines S-S; Oklahoma 1ty 7-3.

Doesn't Mind Running But Inferiority Complex Cuts. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8. Not that an Olympic games champion needs to worry about criticism of form, but Juan Carlos Zabala, new helder of the marathon record, hopes there will be no more talk about his style being inadequate for the distance grind. This thot was more of a worry to the Argentine Monday than the blistered feet and weary legs which carried him to a rousing victory in the final track event of the tenth Olympiad Sunday in 2 hours, 31 minutes, 36 seconds.

Reruns Race. The nigged 20 year old- South American reclined on his welcomed bed late last night and ran again the classic race, which saw Samuel Ferris, Great Britain, finishing second, only 200 yards behind, in 2 hours, 31 minutes, 55 seconds, which also was faster than the old record of 2 hours, 32 minutes, 35.8 seconds, set by Hans Kolehmainen of Finland, eight years ago. Finland's chief threat in the absence of Paavo Nur-aii, Armas Toivonen, came up for a close third, in 2:32:12, likewise beating the old record. But it took Zabala longer in the telling than in the running, with frequent and prolonged interruptions from his fellow countrymen, each of whom had a different version. Maybe ihey're Wrong, les? "I hope they will not say any more," spoke Zabala, "that my form is no good for the marathon.

I think maybe I proved they were wrong, yes He referred to pre-Olympic crit-icsm that he lifted his knees too high as compared with other 'miners of the 26 miles 285 yards course, "When did I know I would yin?" asked Zabala, with a broad grin on his face. "Before I started." The murmur of 'Si, si, senor," ran thru the little cottage. "Did I not say when I first came here that I would win the marathon?" Surprised at Start. The Argentine said he was surprised the rest of the runners started so slow. He had expected they would set a burning early pace, and when there was no apparent hurry, Zabala took the lead.

"When Lauri Virtenen of Finland passed me," he explained, "I knew it was team play, so I did not follow him. He was running too fast then. He did not finish." Zabala said his right knee hurt slightly at about the 18 mile mark, so he slowed down until he was on the stadium track, taking no chanca of a possible accident. He put on speed at the end breaking the tape with a good sprint. KEOKUK BEATS RED OAK 5 TO To Represent Iowa at Salina in American Legion Junior Meet.

0i 1 I I II Er WINS MARATHON JUAN C. ZABALA man before him, Jim Bausch to roll up the staggering total of 8,462 points in the decathlon and Zabala to run the fastest of all Olympic marathons. These athletes simply "had it." Stars Claim Own. Eddie Tolan, the dusky little double sprint king and Bill Carr, world's greatest quarter-miler, led the United States swiftly back to an enjoyment of running prestige not experienced since the 1912 Olympics while George Saling of Iowa brot high hurdling supremacy back home again in a series of fweeping victories. America was at least 1-2 in the 200, 400 runs and 110 meters, as well as the shotput and discus.

Carr, whose 400 meter triumphs over Ben Eastman in the world record time of 46.2 seconds was one of the great achievements of the week, contributed to the final whirl Sunday. With a running start, on the anchor leg of the 1600 meter relay, he duplicated his record time to help the Americans beat Great Britain, best of five rivals, and lower their own world record to 3 minutes, 8.2 seconds. Twin in Good Time. Carr's mates in this record four-lap journey were Ivan Fuqua, of Indiana, Ed Ablowich of southern California and Karl Wagner of Yale, who ran their 400 meter tricks, respectively, in 47.1, 47.6 and 47.3 seconds. The American 400 meter quartet, consisting of Bob Kiesel, Emmett Toppino, Hector Dyer and Frank Wykoff, all 4 of whom were shut out of the individual sprint forces, redeemed themselves by winning their relav event in 40 seconds flat, likewise knocking their own best time, as well as all other records, into the discard.

These flyers beat Germany's highly rated quartet by 10 yards. Fails in Third. Babe Didrikson, the remarkable Texas girl athlete, failed to achieve her goal of three individual championships and as many world records, when she was defeated in the high jump finals by her teammate, Jean Shirley of Philadelphia. Nevertheless Miss Didrikson was the sensation of the women's athletics, triumphing in the javelin and 80-meter hurdles and finishing second in the high jump. Miss Shirley cleared the new world record height of 5 feet, 5'4 inches Sunday to win.

Miss Didrikson. in second place at 5-5, also was well over the former world mark, but lost her chance to win when her final jump to stay on equal terms with the Philadelphia girl was ruled out as a technical "dive" in violation of the rules. Meanwhile the American girl sprinters wound up the program by gaining a close victory over Canada in the world record time of 47 seconds flat for their 400 meter relay. Wilhclmina von Bremen, San Francisco girl, won bv a yard from Hilda Strike of Canada in the final dash down the stretch. The other members of the V.

S. team were Mary Carew, Evelyn Furtsch and Annctt Rogers, running in that order. SCHUKEIS WIN 3 WEEKEND GAMES Bsat Nora Sorings 27-9 and Win 5-3 and 18-6 From Osaje Club. The Schukei V-8 ball club of Mason City won from the Cedar All Stars of Osage 27-9 in a game played under the lights at Nora Springs Saturday night. The game V'U' 1 chief honors of the Olympic track and field championships Monday.

While the forces of the United States were crowning their team triumph Sunday with amazing flashes of relay speed, adding 4 new world records to the dizzy whirl in the Olympic stadium, Zabala was plodding the city streets, wearing down his rivals with machine-like strides that carried him strongly to the finish in the new Olympic record time of 2 hours, 31 minutes, 3G seconds for the route of 26 miles, 385 yards. Leads by 200 Yards. The victory of the 20 year old Argentine, whose swift pace broke the hearts of a half dozen favorites, carried him home 200 yards ahead of Sam Ferris, British veteran. A Finlander, another Briton, 2 Japanese and an American were next at the line of finish. This race capped the climax of 8 days of athletic competition unparalleled in world history.

There is many an Olympic battle still to be fought along a rapidly-widening front, with California's crew engaged in the defense of American 8-oared honors, the Yankee boxers facing brisk skirmishes and U. S. swimmers challenged already by Japan's sensational young aquatic stars, but it will be a long time before the thrills, the astonishing records, the arguments and the official "boners'" of the track and field championships are forgotten. Runs Great Rare. Performances from the outset not only were so startling as to make about 400,000 spectators forget all about absence from competition of the great Finn, Paavo Nurmi, but sufficiently good as well to knock the last of Nurmi's Olympic marks in the marathon from the record lists.

What Paavo might have done Sunday in the marathon is something else, a subject that may be used for further debate, but Nurmi at his very best would have had his hands full trying to head off Zabala. Nurmi thruout the week sat in the stands while his native Finland's stars were being handed their biggest setbacks in Olympic competition since the war, watching a Polander, Kusocinski, take away the 10,000 meter honors, seeing "Jarring Jim" Bausch, an American, surpass Finland's favored all-around stars in a world record decathlon performance, and an Italian. Becalli, put Finland's champion and the rest of the world's milers to rout in the classic 1.500. Wins Share of Honors. Finland won only three individual championships while the United States celebrated its comeback on home soil and the fastest of all Olvmpic tracks by romping off with ll'of the 23 men's championships in addition to 5 of the 6 women title events, for the best all-around showing the V.

S. A. has known in 20 years. The Americans won the men's team championship with the aggregate of 218 points, to Fin land's second-place 72. The margin was even wider in the feminine division, where the American girls lolled up 78 'i points to 16'2 for Germany, in second place.

The United States got off to such a flying start there was never any question of where the team supremacy rested but the battle for individual honors packed a succession of thrills and performances that, in retrospect, make the truth seem stranger thnn fiction. Wipe Out ltecords. All told, Olympic records were wiped out completely in 25 of the 29 events for men and women. The only events that escaped the record-smashing process were the hammer throw, broad jump and high jump, besides the 50,000 meter walk, a new event, for which the time must stand at least as a new Olympic standard. World records were surpassed in 13 events, including all 6 of the women's contests, and equalled in 3 others.

They can blame the big comeback of Amrriea's speei kings in world competition and the stadium's lirhtiiinsr track for most of the stuff but that Uorsn the competitive inspiration that enabled American giants like Leo Soxton and John Anderson to heave the weights to record dis-I tances, that led N'ambu of Japan I to triple jump urther than any MILWAUKEE CLUB BEATS ROGKFORD Numelin Hit Freely for 11-3 Victory; Grelk Is Touched for 7 Hits.
