Carr, a speedster from Arizo na State University, was the United States’ main hope of re capturing the medal lost to Ber ruti after five consecutive victories in Olympiads. Carr nearly missed the trip to Tokyo. He won the qualifying race in New York but ran a poor fourth in the Los Angeles quali fier. Officials, however, dropped the No. 3 man in the second race and selected Carr. No. 3 was Bob Haynes of Jacksonville, Fla., who won the gold medal in the 100- meter dash Thursday. Shortly before the first round of the 200-meter dash got under way in sunshine and temperature that was in the 70s, Russia’s Elena Gorchakova smashed the world rec ord for the women’s javelin on her first qualifying throw. Miss Gorchakova heaved the javelin 204 feet, 814 inches, near ly nine feet better than the old mark held by Elvira Ozolina, also of Russia. Miss Ozolina’s mark j finally scooting under the rail in was 196-114 while her Olympic record was 183-8. By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer ST. LOUIS OP) — Iron man Bob Gibson, working with only two days rest, pitched the scrappy St. Louis Cardinals to their first world championship since 1946 with a 7-5 victory over the fav ored New York Yankees in Thurs day’s crucial seventh Series game. The rangy right - hander who once played basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters broke all Series strikeout records with a to tal of 31, including nine in the finale with big money on the line. A crowd of 30,346 boisterous fans roared, trumpets blared and horns tooted as the Cardinals com pleted their rags to riches from seventh place July 24 to the champ ionship of all baseball at the ex pense of the proud Yankees. A tumultous crowd poured out of the bleachers and surrounded the happy knot of white - uni formed Cardinals after Dal Max- vill snared Bobby Richardson’s pop for the final out. Maxvill was warmly embraced by Dick Groat and then the whole club con verged on the mound, pounding the exhausted Gibson on the back. Gibson needed help from a burly cop and two special park attendants to escape from the well-wishers, The United States looked for ward to adding to its medal crop later in this sixth day of the Games. front of the dugout.

Obviously tiring under the heavy burden of pitching a 10-inning game in New York Monday after noon and another complete nine- inning' job in this one for all the dough, Gibson staggered a bit in the ninth. Solo home runs by Clete Boyer and Phil Linz nar rowed his lead to two runs but Manager Johnny Keane never made a move in a fine tribute to his big pitcher. Gibson’s strikeout feast erased Sandy Koufax’s total of 23 piled up in last year’s Los Angeles Dodgers four-game sweep over the Yanks. It even surpassed the mus ty old record of 28 set by ancient Bill Dinneen of the Boston Red Sox in 1903 in an eight-game Ser ies. The victory was a sweet per sonal triumph for Keane, who had been reportedly on the brink of being fired in late season be fore the Cards started their spurt. It was equally sweet to Bing Devine, the general manager who was let out by the Cards Aug. 17 and later hooked on with the New York Mets. The Cards nestled in fourth place in the National League, 11 games out, on Aug. 23 and still trailed the Philadelphia Phillies by 7% lenghts as late as Aug. 31. They won the pennant, of course, on the last day of the season and followed it up by going the route in an exciting Series. Gibson’s opponent, rookie Mel Stottlemyre, also was attempting to come back with two days rest in his third starting job of the Series. The 22 - year - old right - hander left for a pinch hitter in the fifth after his Yankee defense let him down in the Cards’ three- run fourth inning. St. Louis add ed three more in the fifth, starting off with Lou Brock’s homer off A1 Downing, and finished their scoring with Ken Boyer’s homer in the seventh.
