Werner. Hits Critics
Of Olympic Team .
In the minds of many track fans, the United States
flopped badly in the 1960 Olympics. But Lion track coach
Chick Werner, who saw the Rome games, doesn't agree.
"If we were miserable, who was good?" Werner said.
"The Russians had more disappointments than we
.did."
Werner said a few writers were
the main cause of the negative
viewpoint.
As the United States began
losing events in which they.were
favored, reports began drifting
back home that some members
of the U.S. team were over
participating in the gay Rome
night life.
But Werner said there were no
such occurrences. "Our team was
splendid,"he said. "We need no
alibis."
"I know the Olympic coach
(Larry Snyder) very well," he
continued, "he tried very hard
and the team tried very hard.
They did not break training."
Werner said the greatest re
mark he heard during the games
came when John Thomas said,
"Since when is a bronze medal to
be criticized?"
That was Thomas' comeback to
a question asking if he was dis
appointed after placing third to
a pair of Russians.
Two other Olympians who
came under fire after losing
in events were sprinter Norton
and hammer thrower Connelly.
Norton said that he would nev
er run again after finishing last
in both the 100-meter and 200-
meter finals and then committing
a foul which disqualified the U.S.
in the 400-meter relay.
Connelly, the world - record
holder in the hammer throw, fin
ished far back in seventh place.

Turley Goes
For Yankees
Against BoSox
NEW YORK (fP) Although
the magic number for clinching
the pennant now is five over Chi
cago and four over Baltimore, the
New York Yankees are not taking
anything for granted.
With the next six of their re
maining nine games to be played
on the road, Manager Casey Sten
gel balks at looking ahead toward
any World Series.
Stengel named Bob Turley (8-3)
to oppose Boston's Billy Muffett
(6-3) in this afternoon's series
opener at Fenway Park. The
Yanks will send Art bitmar (15-
9) against Bill Monbouquette (14-
11) tomorrow afternoon and Ralph
Terry (9-8) against Tom Brewer
(10-13) Sunday.
If the Yanks keep on winning
and the White Sox stumble
against Cleveland the Orioles fail
in Washington, Stengel's 10th
pennant could be wrapped up
over the weekend.
However, it is more likely that'
the clinching will drag on a little
longer, perhaps to the end of the
season. The Yanks go to Wash
ington for three night games next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
and then come home to finish the
year next Friday night and Satur
day
.a n d Sunday afternoons
against the Red Sox.

"Who
owns
the
electric
ompany?"
Some people can answer that question with the
greatest of ease—but a surprising number of
our own customers can't.
Thousands of people own the electric com
pany. All kinds of people, people who invest
money in the company and help' it grow 14
serve you better. •
That makes it an independent business—
not owned by- the city, the state, or any kind
•
of government,
And that's one of the big reasons why you
can always be sure of having plenty of elec
tricity, at a barg4in price.
