i Yellow Jackets Drop 12-8 Decision Last (Night To Airedales

Despite the Decatur Yellow j Jackets’ showing their most aggressive play this season, they were unable to take advantage of J their oftftnes superior position and dropped the third pigskin fray of I the season to } the Hartford City Airedales at Hartford City Tuesday night, 12-8. Decatur’s defeat also halts ?a three-loss string for the Airedales. • having djropped toi Auburn, Peru and Newcastle. The first quarter provided nothing for i either side to brag over, being a.mixture of flubbed passes, , poorly planned end runs and the | spectacle of featherweights trying 1 to make like a bunch of musclemen and dash smack through the middle. Howeypr, in the waning minutes of the first stanza. Roger Pollock, the doughty 135-pounder. initiated j action that should have netted points but only got bumps instead. | He intercepted an Airedale pass and Coach Worthman sent out Jim ft&wley in play-gs his knee injury apparently improved. Rowley proceeded to give the Airedales good reason to wish he would be out most of the gaifie. , He made four devastating runs I through the Airedales, line to put 'W ball, with a few seconds left, d<wn to the Hartford City 1-yard line, 'but the Airedales held.

Pollock grabbed the ball apd scampered .a quick 15 yards before being nailed, but Hartford turned on the heat and halted a budding offense, right in its tracks. Last quarter play began bril- - — I—-

Dodgers Have Decided Edge In Outfield (Editor’s note: Thte is the th*d oFa ce^i string the Doggetts and* tlj'e Yanjkees for the I»S3 World Series;) By CARII LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK UP — The most astonishing thing about “window breakers” this year is the improvement In hitting over last season and that especially is true in the outfield. In no other department do,the Dodgers show such a sharp edge over the Yankees. .The Yankees, however, might rate a slight overall defensive edge in the outfield, especially if old pro Jack Robinson runs into a little trouble with the tricky shadows and the low curving fence in Yankee Stadium’s left field. But Brooklyn more than makes up for that at bat, even if right fielder Carl Furillo is unable to play or if he still is below par as the result of his battle with Leo Durocher. The three Dodger regulars, Furillo. Robinson and Duke Snider, have batted in a total of 309 runs and have hit 74 homers. ) Compare that with the production of Gene Woodling. Mickey Mantle and Hank Bauer which totals 206 runs in more than 100 fewer and just 40 homers, just a little more than half the Dodger total. Last year when the Brooks fought the Yankees to seven games before losing, . these same three regulars, Robinson was an infielder then, had only 48 homers and 226 runs batted in. Position by position the contrast is even sharper. Furillo in right is as good a fielder as Bauelr, better in Brooklyn where he knows those carom plays off the wall, and he has a better arm although both are terrific throwers. He leads the league in batting at .344 which is 40 points better than Bauer’s .304. He has 21 homers to 10 for Bauer and 93 RBl’s to 57. Should Gil Hodges have to play right field instead of Furillo, the Yankees would have a defensive edge be cause of Gil’s inexperience, but he brings a .303 average, 120 RBl’s and 31 homers into the jackpot. In center are two of the game's greatest outfielders. Mantle, before bis mdst recent knee injury, could cover more ground than Snider but the Dukd'is a surer ball hawk and throws better. At bat it is no contest, despite those tremendous tape measure homers switcher Mantle occasionally hits. Snider, batting .339 and going up daily, is aiming to beat Furillo out of the N. L. batting title. He has 124 RBl’s and 41 homers, more than the entire first line Yankee trio. Mantle has 91 RBl's but onb’ 20 homers and is batting .301. Woodling,, through experience, is the best left fielder in the business at the stadium and he is almost as talented elsewhere. Robinson, no gazelle boy any more, still has class wherever he plays, but the Yankee left fielder has to be given a considerable edge defensively. At bat Robinson totes a .832 average. 92 runs batted in and 12 bomers. ' Woodling is .309. has ,< runs batted in and 10 homers. . . ■ \

Reynolds And Erskine Likely To Open Series NEW YORK, UP — It’ll be AUie Reynolds against Carl Erskine when the Yankees and Dodgers square off in the first game of the World Series. That was virtually certain today, although Manager Casey Stengel of the world champions and Charley Dressen of the National -league champions won’t make the official announcements until next Tuesday. For whatever lingering doubts the managers might have had must have been dispelled by the key righthanded aces' performances Tuesday. Reynolds, flashing the overpowering stuff that has made him the key Yankee pitcher in three previous series, mowed down the Athletics in one of his most impressive performances of the year in New York’s 7-2 victory Tuesday night. The big fireballer, who has a 6-2 World Series record, struck out 11 A's and held them to two singles in seven innings before retiring in favor of Bob Kuzava, who yielded Philadelphia single runs in the eighth and ninth. It was the Reynolds of old — — wild’’ but overpowering as the Yankees’ “Super Chief” held the A’s hitless in all but that one inning. Erskine, Brooklyn’s logical pick for the opener, was only scarcely less impressive as he struck out six Pirates in a three-inning tune- ! up. Carl allowed two hits in the first inning but fanned four straight during one stretch and Dressen announced he would Start his 2Ggame winner in another ' ahort tuneup against the Phillies qn Friday night. f The Dodgers, scoring the win- . nipg run in a 5-4 victory on Junior Gilliam’s eighth-inning triple, completed their home season with a 60-17 record — tying thej league record for home triumphs in a .set by the 1942 Cardinals tn the -American league, the ( Cleveland Indians took a> threegame lead over the White! Sox in their battle for second place when they beat Chicago, 8-3. Bob Feller went the distance to outpitch Billy Pierce and scored his 10th victory of 1958 and the 249th of his career. r •*•'« Cleveland’s Al Rosen , hit his 41st homer of the season but remained one behind Gus Zernial. who hit No. 42 in the A’s loss to the Yankees. Larry Doby also homered for the Indians while Minnie Minoso of the White Sox' reached the 100-mark for runs batted in with a two-run homer. Satchel Paige pitched one-hit hall for seven innings and got relief aid from Don Larsen in the last two as the St. Louis Browns heat the Detroit Tigers, 7-3, in the other) American league games. Ed Mathews hit his 47th homer ( as Milwaukee beat St. Louis. 4-3. . but the Cardinals bounepd back to win the nightcap. 10-7: the Chicago Cubs downed the j Cincinnati Redlegs. 4-1, after Fred Baczewski shut out his former teammates 1-0. in their opener, and Curt Simmons’ seven-hitter enabled the Phillies to down the New York Giants, in National league night games. Fred, Hutchinson Is Retained By Tigers f DETROIT, UP — Fred Hutchinson, retained tor another year as. manager of the Detroit Tigers, said today pitching was the key to the team's chances of climbing in the American league standings next year. "A couple of 20-game winners could make this \ team a pennant contender,” Hutchinson said following an announcement by the Detroit baseball company’s board of directors which gave the 34yeanold former pitcher another chance to direct the Tigers.
