Decafur Moose Open Season With Victory I The Decatur Moose softball team, making Its first start of the i season, defeated the Bluffton Elks. :3-l. at Bluffton Tuesday night in a Suburban league game. The Decatur team, with practically the same squad which won the national Moose championship last year, trailed by a 1-0 score after the flrat Inning until the sixth, then pulled into a tie and copnted twice In the seventh to pull through to a hard won triumph. Bluffton got away to a one-run lead In the first frame on Decatur's lone error and a double by Wilkins. Elks' hurler. Bluffton’s only other hit off Harrah wax a single with two out in the last of the seventh. Reed's single. Scherer's sacrifice; and E. Graft's one-base knock tied the score in the sixth. Singles by McConnell and Crist, a walk and a hit batsman were good for Dej catur's two winning runs In the seventh. Harrah, in addition to allowing .inly two hits, fanned 14 Bluffton hatters and did not walk a man. although hitting two with pitched balls. Score by innings: RHE Decatur 000 001 2 3 fi 1 Bluffton 100 000 0-121 Harrah and Stoppenhagen; Wilkins and Riedele. 4 o Breaking the News Omaha. Neb.

Q ""~O Today*s Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. 8. Pat Off.) I 0- — o .New York, May 12 — (VP) Eleven days ahead of the schedule set by Babe Ruth when he hit his record 60 home runs. Ken Keltner of the Cleveland IndlatM wax just swingin' down the lane today with absolutely no thought of shattering the mark compiled by the Bam- • blno. "I’m just having a little luck.' the rugged third lisseman allowed. "I don't have any big Ideas.” But while jhe accepted home run Ti ans Ted Williams, Ralph Kin er, Johnny Mize and such — wallowed in his wake. Keltner was denting the bleachers with riotous regularity. Hix 10 round trippers In 16 games was by far the best effort In the majors. By three ae a , matter of fact. A change of scenery for the j Cleveland club worked w hat amounted to a minor miracle for the Milwaukee man who. before the season started, was being written off ax a has-been. The tribe formerly played in league |>ark with some of Its games in Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Keltner is a left field hitter. But that wax a mighty poke at league park so he was ordered to swing for the short right field fence. But now the Indians play in Municipal Stadium where all the walls are equidistant. So Ken is doing what comes naturally, swinging away and pulling a lot of pitches tight out of the park. More. iMxxibly. than he ever dreamed of. Because bis previous mark for an entire season was 26 , in 193 R. his first full season In the .tepee. At the rate he's going it ' could be terrific. That pace just about assures him ipf being the comeback kid of 1948. For Keltner. although one of the best in the American league for

years, had a rough time gettingItack into form after spending 194‘>| In the navy He bit a weak .241 in 1946 and belted only 13 homers a figure he almost has matched in the first 16 games this year. And he raised that halting average' to only 25•' last season. So the Indians brought up this xpring from Oklahoma City a sensational rookie named Al Rosen who batted in Impressive .349. a fine mark even in the Epworth league. A lot of them were writing the Keltner obituary. But Rosen is back In the minora now. The Indians found a guy nam ed Keltner. He has been xllghtlv more than terrific. For in addition to those round trip blasts, the cigar-smoking infielder who dotes on golf and bowling Is dipping the apple at a neat .365 dip. To those who know him. It's no surprise that Keltner is roaring back. He always had the moxie When he was In the American axso-, iatioe the pit< hers used to dust him off so much he began to think alatut putting sildding pads in the seat of his pants. But Ken stood right up there in the face of those blazing fast balls and continued to take his cut. And he's taking it now, with a vengeance. They had the halter on him a long time, ueing him in the hit and run and ordering him to waste his power in a misdirected swing to right, it kept him off the All Star team and it hurt hix hitting. < But everything's all right now!
