Page Waco, Texas Saturday, May 8, 1954 ON SECOND THOUGHT By DAVE CAMPBELL News-Trihiine Sports Editor A young English medical student named Roger Bannister today should have the clearest conscience in all the British Empire For Roger, you see, is a miler, and a good one. He was good enough in 1952 to be rated a top threat in the 1,500 meters race at the Helsinki Olympics, and all England counted on Roger to bring home the prize. Jostled a bit at the start, he was never in contention and finished a well-beaten fourth. Since then young Bannister has been seeking a way to cleanse his conscience. Thursday he found a unique but sure-to-please method.

He went out and ran the mile in 3:59.4, the first time in all history that a miler has look off trying to escape her wrath. So on the ages the challenge came, with runners getting a been able to break through the httle closer all the time, but still four-minute barrier. failing by that little bit that the good from the miracu- since time began, it seems, lous. somebody has been trying to achieve that feat Ever since man By 1913 Jon P.

By 1923 the fabulous been the first to set his eye on the I Paavo Nurmi of Finland had low- magic mile mark, first of all when ered the time to 4:10.4 and by 1933 he set off in quest of some Jack Lovelock of New Zealand had cious blonde and second when he streaked a 4:07.6. Times Mediocre in 20 Years WAGO TO GET NEW GATGHER Pittsburgh wasted no time sending a replacement for the injured Jack Paepke.

Bill Phillips, who was in military last year and who has been with New Orleans this sea.son, is expected to arrive in time to catch game against Galveston. Phillips has played one game this year in Katy Park, and if he can continue the pace set in that game, he will become a solid favorite. Pinch hitting against the New Orleans Pelicans, he rapped a long homer. Doctors report Paepke should be ready to resume active duty in about a month. They say the Waco pilot was a little lucky anyway, because the bone was easily fixed back into place and with time the thumb should be as good as new.

In the meantime big Jack will direct the team from the coaching box.

The Pirates broke even with GB and Jim Newberry and Roland Jones combined to leave 13 Bucs stranded. Roger Sawyer, the highly regarded young lefty, lasted six innings but was far off form.

It was 1.2 seconds slower than showing last week in a meet at San Antonio. It was the second record of opening day in the ponderous three-way instant the ball reached Bush, until it reached second baseman Danny Brown, a second and a half was consumed.

In other words, lasting glory was achieved by a margin of about half the time it takes to throw out a tion focused on the feats of the more-publicized Santee and the Bannister went out and cleared his conscience for all time. Have you realized by what margin he achieved the impossible. Bannister ran a 3:59.4 mile.

Track Half Inch Over Mile After he had achieved his feat, to the surprise and delight of the sparse crowd of 1,000 fans, the track was measured to be sure everything was on the up and up.

Tom Five-Hitter Beats for Yanks, 2-0 By MILTOX RICHMAN NEW YORK, May Morgan's smooth five-hit pitching, coupled with back-to-back homers by Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra in the seventh inning, gave the Yankees a 2-to-O victory over the Athletics Friday before 5.805 fans. Morris Martin of the Athletics yielded only three hits. Red Sox Edge Senators, 7-6 BOSTON, May Boston Red Sox a homer barrage by the Wa.shington Nationals Friday night to take a victory that ended a four game losing streak and a 21-inning scoring drouth.

'The youthful righthander had pitched one-hit shutout ball until the sixth inning when he gave up four runs on four hits, including homers by Jim Busby and Qyde It was first and second.

Veteran reliefer Ellis Kinder five-hit ball the rest of the way to preserve the win for Qe- venger. However, Kinder yielded another two-run homer to left fielder Roy Sievers in the seventh inning. That was his fifth of the year and it gave him the American League lead in that department. but was charged with his second defeat against a lone win when he ran afoul of the successive homers in the seventh. Until that frame, Martin had given up but one hit, a double by Hank Bauer in the first inning.

Mantle led off the seventh with his third homer of the year, a 415- foot blast which landed in the lower left field stands adjacent to the bullpen. Berra then clouted his fourth homer of the season, a drive to right center which landed in the Yankee bullpen. Morgan, who struck out only one batter and walked four in registering his second victory of the season got into his only difficulty in the ninth when Bill Renna and Pete Suder singled with one out.
