Twice in a Row. It was typical of Ascari that he would push his car to the ragged edge trying to win Italy's classic Monza. Most men in his position would have played it safe. Streaking around tracks from Argentina to France, Ascari had already clinched the 1953 world championship by winning five of the ten Grand Prix races that count toward the point total. At Bern, Switzerland, he whipped his four-cylinder (180 h.p.) Ferrari around 1,300 curves in three hours to average 97.48 m.p.h.; in Belgium he was clocked at 112 m.p.h., in England...
...Dressen : "We're in no mood to coast. The series will take care of itself." Faith in an Old Habit. Brooklyn will need its power. In the American League, the Yankees have made the same kind of runaway; this week, by beating second-place Cleveland two in a row, they clinched the pennant with a 13-game lead. Manager Casey Stengel has a cool, battle-hardened pitching staff to throw at the Dodgers: Whitey Ford (17-5), Eddie Lopat (15-3), Vic Raschi (12-5), onetime National Leaguer Johnny Sain (14-6). Backing them up is the greatest money...
...Long Island Sound, a team of U.S. Six-Meter sailors outran the British four races in a row to keep the British-American Cup, which the U.S. has held since 1930. In this week's Seawanhaka Cup competitions, also for Six-Meters, the British challenger Marylette got off to a sad start by snapping her mast in a stiff breeze, while the U.S. defender Llanoria, supposedly left hopelessly behind with a torn mainsail, plodded home to win under Genoa jib and spinnaker...
...Naples, Lieut. Commander Agostino Straulino of the Italian navy won the world's sailing championship in the Star (22 ft. 8½ in.) class for the second year in a row. Runner-up, in a race that drew 38 entries from 16 countries including the U.S.: Duarte Bello of Portugal. The highest final standing of any of the visiting Americans: eleventh...
...paneled Paris office overlooking the Etoile last week sat a grey-haired, lean and elegant Frenchman, chain-smoking Havana cigars. In his buttonhole, Pierre Wertheimer, 65, wore the emblem of the Legion of Honor; on his glass-topped desk stood row after row of perfume bottles and boxes of cosmetics. They, too, were emblems of achievement. For Pierre Wertheimer, a man so shy that few have ever heard of him (he permits no photographs), is the world's perfume king. He owns the Bourjois and Chanel companies, bosses 3,000 employees in plants from Rochester, N.Y. to London, sells...
