Records and Help Keep Spahn and Wynn Going Warren Spahn Hy OSCAIl I IIAI.EV New York (UPI) The majority of your successtul athletes have a certain respect for the record books, but for downright appreciation of what they aocomplish you have to put Warren wSpahn and Karly Wynn almost in a class by themselves. Most of them shrug off the little black type which will record for posterity what they have been able to do. The general attitude is that this, plus 15 cents, will get you a ride on the subway. Hut the seemingly Spahn and the husky Wvnn, bothered as he is by various ailments, still are putting out with the record book primarily in mind. There was a pitcher a few seasons back who was asked how lie felt when he won his 20th game, one of the higher criterions for gentlemen of the mound.

His disdainful observation was that on the previous day he had already won 19 and nobody broke down the doors. difference does one more he demanded. To Spahn, the hawk-faced wonder of the Biaves, and the grim, determined Wynn, who is prying out those victories with great effort, it makes a tremendous difference. Each one improves the footnotes which will follow their names long after they have left the baseball scene and thi.s is why both of them are pitching with such dedication. Each of them has a target to which he is diwotcil this year.

Spahn, beating the Mets Thursday night, ran his victory total to 319 and now needs only 7 to become tlie winiiingest left hander in baseball history. lacks only 3 games of winning his deci- LINCOLN 1, NKEh, FRIDAY, JULY 27. sion, and theieby becoming the 14th man to accomplish this feat. There was a fleeting thought some quarteis this season that possibly time was finally catching up tolhe 41-year-okl Spahn. Hut he scored his 10th victory Thursday night against 11 losses and apparently is set to start his usual late season drive.

It means much to him il he can chalk up a record 13th season as a 20-game winner from the southpaw side. The record already is his. But e.xiending it and getting those 7 more he needs to shade Eddie Plank ar(' goals which probably will carry him through. the oldest active player in the majors. i.s in the same situation.

His pride and his driving desire for those 300 victories make him toil at an age and in a condition where others might have called it a career. The fact that he needs only 3 more to reach 3(M), and become the first American Leaguer to perform this feat since Lefty Grove in 1931, sounds easy. But his record of 5 wins against 7 losses this season indicates the bitterness of his struggle.
