Game | U.S. Cagers Triumph In Olympic Tilt HELSINKI # — The tall United States basketball team and Bob Mathias took the center of the Olympic spotlight today, temporar- ily shoving aside the record-break- ers of the regular track and field program. | America’s 2-platoon basketball | squad, opened its defense of the | title the United States has always | won since the sport was added to the Olympic program, by whipping Hungary, 66 to 48, with an unim pressive performance. Mathias, defending champion in the decathlon who set a new world record for the 10 events in winning the American tryouts, scored 1,725 points in the first two events, That left Mathias, at that stage, 10 points behind Milton Campbell, the Plainfield, N. J., schoolboy, but the handsome Tulare, Calif., athlete held the favorite’s role. Campbell scored 1,028 points in the 100-meter dash, in which he turned in the fastest time, 10.7 seconds. He added 707 more in | the broad jump with a leap of 22. | feet 1.35 inches. Mathias ran the 100 in 10.9 for | 946 points and broad-jumped 22 | feet 10.80 inches to score 779 more. This left him weil behind the pace {he set in the tryouts, where he | rolled up the record total of 7,825 | points, At the same stage in the trials, Mathias had 1,821 points. Carlos Vera of Chile held third place with 1,644 points. Basketball Coach Warren Wom- | ble characterized his team as “awfully rusty” in its first ap- pearance but big Clyde Lovellette, who was held to nine points, called it “lousy.” Argentina’s speedy team looked very good in the opening game as it whipped the Philippines, 85 to 59. The United States advanced to the second round in the fenc- ing team competition, winning eight bouts in the first round and edging out Russia, 29-31 on hits, in its pool. Russia also qualified for the next round. The main events in track and field were scheduled to resume this afternoon and there was every in- dication that the record-breaking | pace of the first five days would be continued. In 20 events so far, 18 world or Olympic records have *been broken or equalled. Twelve events remain to be de- cided before the track and field division of this gigantic sports car- nival closes Sunday. Records can be expected in almost all of them. Going into today’s sixth day of competition, Russia had piled up 323% points to 221 by the United States. Russia’s big point getters have been its men and women | gymnasts.

Two straight over the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals while the Brooklyn ice with no sign of help m the Reds, Braves and Pirates was enough to discourage the struggling Giants. Still 6% games behind the Brooks the Giants can draw new hope from the performance of Max Lanier, the ex-Cardinai. A sad dis- appointment in early spring, Lani- er appears to be rounding into his old hot weather form. At least he has the weather running his way. Lanier’s 6-hitter against his old St, Louis mates Thursday for a 95 decision was his fourth win in his last five games. The 36-year- old lefty had been beaten the last three times he faced the Cards. Bobby Thomson, Dave Williams, Sal Yvars and Jim Rhodes hit home runs in the Giants’ 11-hit attack on Loser Harry Brecheen and three others. The Giants almost made up more ground but Brooklyn came back to shade Cincinnati, 2-1, on Duke Snider’s 1lth-inning homer after the Reds had won the first half of a doubleheader, 3-2. As a result the Dodgers now have a 14-3 edge in season play over the Reds. Ed Mathews, a top candidate for National League ‘Rookie of the year,” hit his 16th homer and later scored on Walker Cooper's double in Boston’s 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. ‘The Phillies and Pittsburgh were not scheduled. ‘Talk of a New York Yankee run- away in the American faded as Cleveland handed Tom Morgan a 42 loss in his last ball game be- fore joining the Army. The win squared the series between the two contenders, leaving the fourth- place Tribe 542 games back of the Yanks and only one percentage point behind third-place Washing- ton. Mike Garcia registered his 14th win and third over the Yanks with a T-hitter. He had a shutout until the sixth when Yogi Berra’s 2ist homer tied the score. With a chance to gain on the Yanks, both the runnerup Boston Red Sox and Washington fell down. Boston was shut out by Chicago’s Lou Kretlow, 3-0, winning his first game of the season.

The appeal, sent also to the In- ternational Red Cross, was an- nounced by the State Department Thursday in advance of the open- ing at Toronto Monday of a world- wide Red Cross conference at which the various Communist re- gimes will be represented. The timing was regarded here as significant: First, if there is any real hope of success in this field, now may be the best time for trying. Second, the appeal is a good Propagand® maneuver to offset an expected Red attempt to use the Red Cross meeting as a forum for attacks on the United States and its allies. The plea to the Russians to use their influence with the North Ko- rean and Chinese Communist au- thorities to get them to carry out the Geneva Convention for treat- ment of prisoners of war was de- livered in Moscow Wednesday by Ambassador George F. Kennan. A similar request was presented about the same time to the In- ternational Committee of the Red Cross at Geneva, Friday, July 25, 1952 NEW YORK &# — Profit-taking in the wake of the steel strike settlement today gave the stock market a gentle setback.
