Three more sectionals were on I tap today to complete the job of 1 trimming down the field of 3,340 high school athletes to regional ■ size. The Saturday matinee asI fairs were at Terre Haute, Koko--1 mo, and Huntington. Anderson stole the show yesterday although its star miler, Johnny Stayon, was slowed down considerably with a game leg. Stayton won the mile, but in the slow time lof 4:43.7 as his teammates qualified 10 men and both relay teams for the regionals. Anderson's Bill Williams set a new season mark in the 440-yard dash, however, in 50.4, and the Indians won the MunI cle sectional by a top-heavy margin. Roosevelt loomed as the biggest obstacle to the Indian’s fifth title after its victory in the tough Gary sectional. Roosevelt’s half mile relay team set a new state record in 1:30.7. Roosevelt qualified eight men and both relay teams. Roosevelt’s Gary city champs : beat out city-rival Froebel, which was sparked by old reliable Joe Gonzales who won the lOOyard dash in 9.7, 44-3/5 to 37-%. But Anderson’s 77 points at Muncie was the highest in the state and stamped the Indians once again as the squad to beat. Two of the other three "season’s bests" yesterday were turned in by I Hammond athletes in the East Chicago meet. Ernie Blackburn tossed the shot put 53 feet i-% inches . while Jim Harper soared over the high jump barat six feet 5-% inches. Hammond, nosed out by Anderson in the state last time, won the meet easily and has nine men and two relay teams eligible for the regionals. A smooth-warking mile relay team brought Fort Wayne North the best time in that department in the Fort Wayne sectional. The winning time was 3:27.5 as North swept to victory in the meet and qualified 11 men and both relays. North staked out its claim on the state title, too, along with Anderson and Roosevelt, by beating crosstown rival Central 58 to 42-H. Evansville Reitz won the pocket city sectional title in a meet that saw two season's best broken but the marks were slightly under .hose set at other sectionals. Malcolm Cook's :50.5 in the 440 was just a fraction under Bill William's record time at Muncie. jy THERE’S * ARGUMENT! ITS Rwvwiew f FOR BETTER CARRY - OUT , PRICES

J Pirates Blast Three Homers To Beat Cards New York, May 14—(UP)—That old baseball war cry of "stick the ball in his blankety-blank ear" has been resounding from big league dugouts tins spring and unless steps are taken to prevent it, a full scale "bean ball" feud may develop between battle-heated teams. The Cardinals and Pirates already are close to dagger-points at each other and they resumed their bitterness last night when Pittsburgh scored a 3 to 2 victory as Eddie*Bockman broke up the game with a ninth inning homer on the first pitch relief pitcher George Munger threw. They started their feuding on April 27 when Pirate shortstop Stan Rojek was felled by a bean ball and suffered a concussion that kept him out of the lineup a week. Last night Cardinal catcher Joe Garagiola fell flat trying to dodge a pitch by Rip Sewell and when he bunted, Sewell knocked him head over heels with a shoulder block. Players from both sides came storming on to the field and' umpire Jocko Conlan called managers Eddie Dyer and Bill Meyer out for a conference. After stern words there was no more trouble. There have been an unusually large number of players getting hit by pitched balls this season. Manager Lou Boudreau of Cleveland alone has been hit three times, twice on the right elbow, and each time he was forced out of action. The Pirates got all their runs on homers, Ralph Kiner blasting his sixth and Wally Westlake his fourth. Glenn Nelson tripled in one Cardinal run, and stole home for the other. The Braves defeated the Dodgers 6 to 5 in the 10th when Boh Elliott singled with the bases loaded to provide Johnny Sain with I his third win. Boston pounded three pitchers for 18 hits, Eddie i Stanky getting three doubles and i two singles to lead the way. Duke Snider hit a Dodger homer. The Giants remained in a tie i with Boston for first place, celebrating manager Leo Durocher's new two-year contract with a 9 to 1 victory over the Phils in which Larry Jansen limited them to five hits. The Giants made 14 as Bobby Thomson hit a three-run homer and two triples and rookie Bobby Hofman bopped four straight singles. The Reds won their third straight game qnd their second straight shutout when Bud Lively scattered 10 hits for a 7 to 0 decision over the Cubs in which Grady Hatton hit a homer and Hank Sauer got two long doubles. The Reds made four double plays to cut off Chicago threats. The White Sox came from behind to outslug the Indians and win an 11 to 10 marathon at Chicago with a 15 hit attack that included two doubles and two singles by rookie Gus Zernial and a two-run pinch triple by Earl Rapp.

Mickey Vernon and Joe Gordon contributed homers for Cleveland. Don Kolloway, Detroit's nets second baseman, made it plain he likes the change in- environment, pacing the Tigers to a 7 to 2 victory over the Browns at St. Louis with four hits, three of them doubles. He scored four runs for pitcher Ted Gray who won his third straight game. The luckless loser, Dick Starr, suffered his fifth straight defeat. There were no other games scheduled. Yesterday’s star — Rookie Ed Bockman of the Pirates whose homer in the ninth produced a 3 to 2 victory over the Cardinals. Fusari In Early' KO Over Foster New York, May 14—(UP)— Young Charlie Fusari, New Jersey’s handsome blond milkn(m, quickly tamed Vince Foster, Nebraska’s advertised “Wildcat," with a first-round technical knockout at Madison Square Garden last night. While establishing himself a dangerous welterweight contender, Fusari floored young Foster three times and battered him into such helplessness that referee Ruby Goldstein stopped the bout at 2:26 of the first round. Bill Gaunt Sent To Alabama Team Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Gaunt, of near Decatur, have received word from their son, Bill, that he has been sent to Brewton, Ala., by the Brooklyn Dodgers farm organization. Gaunt, a standout hurler with the Decatur Yellow Jackets while in high school, recently signed a contract witli the Dodgers.

(Commercial pilots leaving the besieged city reported that the battle was moved into the outer limits of Shanghai itself and that a semicircle of villages around Lunghwa airport was in flames, Bartholomew said.)
