16 New Meet Records Set In Prep Carnivals INDIANAPOLIS UP — Indiana's record-busting high school track and field stars carved 16 new meet marks into the record books today—the laurels of three major weekend carnivals. Saturday's Fort Wayne relays produced six new records, and five each emerged from Goshen and Muncie. ■ * ■ ■ _ , . Providing the weatherman cooperates, it should have been just the beginning of the record-break-ing expected to be continued this wek in such major attractions as the Lintoh relays, plus week-end sessions at Kokomo, Petersburg, and Delphi, and the Northern Conference trials at ‘Elkhart and East Chicago.* The 12th annual Goshen affair, with nearly 750 athletes competing, came up with six season "bests-” as Gary Froebel dung to its class “A” championship by nipping Elkhart’, 48-46. when the latter muffed a baton exchange in the sprint medley—the last event on the program. The Goshen stars were Don Foster, Mount Vernon's crack hurdler; and little >Max Truex, War- . saw’s brilliant miler. Foster, although aided by wind, won the 120-yard high sticks in :14.4, just one-tenth second shy of the alltime Indiana schoolboy record set by Bob Snoddy of Bloomington University in 1947. Foster and Frobel’s Bob Buck skimmed over the 180-yard low sticks in record time of :19.7 tn the trials, but Foster had to settle for runner-up honors when he missed his stride in the finale won by Buck in :19.8. The latter also copped the 100-yard dash in :JO.l. Truex, last fall’s prep crosscountry titlist, won the mile in 4:29.4, easily shattering the previous best of 4:34.6 by Muncie Central's Jim Lambert four years ago. 'Elkhart came up with two sftason bests in the relays—l:34.2 for the half-mile and 3:32.6 for the mile —and Froebel’s Alfred Hadley and Dick Whitaker of South Bend Riley high-jumped 6 feet 2 inches for another outdoor best. ’ Rochester won Goshen’s class “B” meet, in which two records fell. . * . Fort Wayne North monopolized its second annual relays, with the

Cincinnati In Pair Os Wins Over Braves By UNITED PRESS The right-handed pitching which Cincinnati was seeking to become a strong first division contender may have been sitting on the bench in full view of Manager Birdie Tebbetts all the time. “We can be pretty tough as we are, but give us a little more right handed pitching and we could give everybody trouble," said Tebbetts as he praised the Cincy power hitting. Well, thus tar, right handers have starred every game but one and Cincinnati is tied for first place with the Phils at four victories and one defeat. Big Jim Greengrass was a genuine heavyweight at bat, driving in four runs with a three-run homer and single in a 6-4 first game victory, then driving in two more in the 5-3 second game sweep at Milwaukee before he went out with a pulled muscle in his back. In ’ the opener, Howie Judson, who hade been cast aside but was brought back from the minors after winning 11 straight games without a defeat at Tulsa last season. gained the victory with relief help from Herman Wehmeier. They combined to give Milwaukee si’x hits. In the second game, Bud Podbielan pitched 7 1-3 innings for the win. after which big Frank Smith protected his margin. Ed Bailey, rookie catcher for Cincy, hit his first big league homer while Jack Wittmer homered for Milwaukee. The Phillies, who have been getting phenomenal pitching, swept to 6-0 and 7-1 victories over the Pirates as Robin Roberts scored his first victory with a four hitter and lefty Curt Simmons followed with a seven-hitter in the second game. The Giants topped the Dodgers, 6-3, as Sal Maglie beat them for the second time, while the Cardinals won, 6-4, from the Cubs after which the second game was called after two innings of scoreless play because of darkness.
