The victory was the Jackets' seventh in eight starts this season. The Jackets scored twice in the third inning. Sautbine walked to open the frame, and with two out, scored on Grant's double.

Bluffton had the tying 1 runs on base in the seventh with j only one out but Bohnke fanned the last two batters to end the game.

Psychiatric Test For Young Killer 13-Year-Old Girl ’ To Undergo Tests Joliet, 111., May 7—(UP)— The strange reasons why Diane Allen, a red-haired tomboy, drowned her playmate because of an uncontrollable “urge" may be disclosed In psychiatric examinations, author!-1 ties said today. One link in the queer pattern came from an admission that the case of Howard Lang, confessed murderer of a playmate, interested the 13-year-old girl. Her father, Clarence Allen, said that when the Lang boy was acquitted in his second trial, Diane remarked with interest that the judge “turned him loose.” After telling a coroner's jury yesterday how she drowned seven-year-old Charles (Snooky) Johnson in a drainage ditch after telling him she was going to kill him, Diane said she didn't know why she committed the crime. “I don’t know why I did it," she said. “He hadn't done anything. I I just had an urge to push him in the water." Justice of the peace Anthony' Mackay issued a murder warrant, against her after the inquest. The' coroner's jury recommended that she be bound over to the grand) jury and indicted without specifying for what crime. State’s attorney John I. Pearce asked for a delay in hearing Diane on the charge so that psychiatrists can examine her. He said that after the psychiatric tests he can decide whether to seek grand jury action. If psychiatrists decide she is mentally afflicted, he could start a commitment action against her. Diane confessed to the crime after keeping silent for nearly a week, helping hunt the boy when he was reported missing, and taking up a collection for funeral flowers for him. The body of the boy was found in the ditch only 700 yards from his home. Diane said she committed I the crime while they were picking I flowers Saturday. 'Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Bobby Shantz Stars AsA's Beat Detroit New York, May 7—(UP)— Every heartbroken rookie who ever took a long train tide hack to the minors had a cheer today for Robby (Borrowed Time) Shantz of the Athletics. For Shantz pitched nine innings of no-hit, no-run relief ball to gain his first big league victory, 5 to 4' over the Tigers yesterday at a time when he was supposed to be toiling for the Buffalo Bi ons. And like practically every kid who never got that “one last chance” thinks he could have done, Shantz came through with as great a performance as a Bobby Feller, or his opponent Hal Newhouser. or a Harry Brecheen. He relieved starter Carl Scheib with nobody out in the fourth after Vie ‘ Wertz had hit a three-run homer and Dick Wakefield followed with a triple. He retired three men in a row, leaving Wakefield stranded. Thereafter until the 13th when pinch-hitter Wally Moses took him off the hook with a two-run homer, Shantz was invincible. He struck out seven and though he also walked seven and hit another batter, he was brilliant with men on the base paths. In the fifth he loaded the bases on walks but bore down and struck out Wakefield. On two other occasions he put two men on and got out with double plays. 1 And in the 13th when weariness overtook him, George Kell doubled ■ and Vic Wertz singled him home. ; A doubleplay which Shantz started himself got Wertz off base and then he ended the game by striking out Bobby Swift. Only Monday Shantz was released to Buffalo, then called back because the Athletics came down wi“i a crop of sore-armed pitchers and needed at least temporary help desperately. I • Shantz’ game will not go into the books officially as a nine-in- ! ning no-hitter, nor would it have even if he had not yielded those blows in the 13th, because he was a relief hurler.
