Spartans Edge Berne, 5 To 4, In Stall Game Pleasant Mills and.Berne basketball fans sat through a night of boredom at the Pleasant Mills gym Friday night, as the Bears figuratively •'sat’’ on the ball throughout the tilt which the Spartans won. incidentally, by a 5-4 margin. ' The Bears and their coach. Bob Ollie, seemingly worried over the Pleasant Mills scoring power which racked up 86 points earlier in the week, decided to hold the ball out In an effort to win th? game. AND it almost worked. John Kirchhoffer scored a pair of free throws to open the scoring for Berne, but a field goal by Roger Frey and another by Dee Wolfe, after intercepting a pass, enabled Pleasant Mills to hold a 4-2 lead at the end of the first quarter. Neither team scored fn the second quarter, but in the third period Kirchhoffer drove in for a layup shot to tie the score. Late in the third quarter Leon Byer connected for a free throw to give the Spartans a 5-4 lead, the eventual final score. Berne took only six shots during the game, including one in the last three seconds which failed to connect for a victory. Pleasant Mills attempted only five shots.

American Lopp Heads Decide A's Fate Monday

NEW YORK (INS) — Baseball commissioner Ford Frick sees no reason, short of a dissenting vote by American League club owners, why the Philadelphia Athletics will not go to Kansas City. Among the items up for discussion Monday, when the league meets at New York's Commodore hotel to approve or disapprove of Chicagoan Arnold Johnson's purchase of the will be the ruling concerning interests in two franchises. Johnson, the 47-year-old business man who bought the debt-ridden Athletics lock, stock and barrel Thursday for 33.375,000 from 91-year-old Connie Mack and his sons also owns Yankee Stadium. Washington Senators President Clark Griffith promises to capitalize on this situation in an effort to keep the A's out of KC. But Frick said Friday: “I don't see anything wrong with Johnson retaining ownership of Yankee Stadium and leasing it to the Yankees. Os he can have nothing to do with the club and the lease must be passed by the league .ftnd flee. “It’s Just the same as Connie Mack renting his ball park to ,the Phillies and to the Philadelphia Eagles for football.” Yankee co-owjier Dan Topping, leader of the pro-Kansas City forces, declared that Johnson's status as landlord in New York should not create any problem. “We hold a long term lease with him," Topping said, "and it is on a flat rental basis.” A percentage arrangement might cast a different light on the lease. Griffith threatens to have the last say anyway by mustering the three votes required to reject the franchise shift. Griffith and De troit owner Spike Briggs are outspoken critics of the move and Griff claims that Boston ownqr Tom Yawkey is "open-minded'' dn the matter, a phrase earlier used by Hank Greenberg to explain Cleveland’s position. Topping insists the league al ready voted by 6-<> last Oct. 12 to approve the move to Kansas City and that to bring up the motion again will require five votes to rescind the previous ballot. Johnson left Philadelphia Friday to spend the weekend home but will be in N?w York for Monday's meeting. Before leaving, he said he came to a verbal understanding with Phillies President Bob Carpenter for sale of Connie Mack stadium to the Phils for 31,600,000. Denver and' Omaha have been mentioned as likely sites for the American Association's Kansas City club, but Topping said the Yanks had received six invatlons as a home for the Blues. Bob Baker Winner Over Jimmy Slade PHILADELPHIA (INS) - Pittsburgh heavyweight Bob Raker won a unanimous 10-roUnd decision over New York State champion Jimmy Slade in a nationallytelevised bout Friday night at the Philadelphia Arena Baker. 211 and outweighing Slade by 31 >4 pounds, was a 6-3-1 winner with referee Zack Clayton. Judge Paul Stllley called It 6-2-2 and Judge Bill Yancey listed it as 7-2-1.

Steelers And Giants Battle In Pro Feature NEW YORK (INS) — The New York ‘Giants, who, failed their first big test last week at Cleveland, get the book thrown at them tomorrow at Pittsburgh in the feature game of pro football's eastern division. I— The Loa Angeles Rams get the chance to knock San Francisco out of a first-place tie with Detroit in the western division’s star contest. ( The Giants, who are tied for the league leadership with the Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles, are the division's offensive and defensive leaders but rolled up virtually all their points against the weak sisters of the National football league. The Steelers, on the other hand, knocked off the likes of Green Bay and Philadelphia and their 55-to-2< score over Cleveland —- the team that whipped the Giants last week—was the worst NFL bqating administered to the Browns. The Steelers have the edge in the line and their star-studded backfield of Jim Finks, Fran_Rogel, Johnny Lattner and Paul Cameron packs a powerful scoring punch. The Giants will have to charge Finks better than they did Otto Graham last week. Finks hit Bible Nickel, Ray Matthews, Lattner and Lynn Chandnois with accuracy and speed. The injury -riddled 49’ers' “who were tied 24-24 in the closing two minutes the last time they met Los are favored to down the (Halting Rams this time even without Hugh McElhenny. Gordon Soltau returns to restore their pass balance. Detroit moves east tonight for a nationally-televised 8 p.in. EST, (via DuMont) game with the lastplace Baltimore Colts. The Eagles hope to rebound from two straight losses against the Cardinals and Ollie Matson Sunday in Philly. Bobby Watson, the league's leading scorer, will be out again because of the broken jaw suffered two weeks ago in Pittsburgh. Injured scatback i Don Johnson may see limited action. The Brows, one game out of first place, entertain Washington inlhe hope of picking up the banner dropped by either the Giants. Eagles or Steelers. The Green Bay Packers seek their fourth straight victory at Chicago in a game which should produce an impressive aerial duel between Tobin Rote and the Bears' George Blanda.
