_ —; Financial Drive For Little League The annual financial drive for funds to operate the Decatur Little league for the 1955 season was opened In this city Monday. Co-chairmen for the campaign are Herman H. Krueckeberg and Al Beavers. Little League officials have set the budget for this year’s operations,, at $2,500. This amount is necessary to pay for conducting the six-team Little League and the two-team Pony League. Included in the costs will be the outfitting of two completely new* Little League teams, with the loop expanded from four to six teams, needed replacement of uniforms and equipment for mother teams, and for the operating costs of the leagues for Decatur’s boys. The Little league will be financed this year as in previous seasons. with contributors to the fund purchasing “shares” in the future of Decatur’s boys, from nine years’ of age up to 14. This “share" plan is believed more satisfactory than for a few industries or organizations to back a team each, as it makes Little League more of a community-wide project. Cuban Fighter Wins 10-Round Decision NEW YORK (INS) Cuba's Isaac Logart scored a unamimous ten-rourM decision over Ludwick Lightburn of British Honduras in a free-swinging welterweight bout Monday night at St. Nicholas Arena. Phil Cavaretta Ends long Playing Career CHICAGO (INS) The playing career of Phil Cavarretta who never left Chicago in his 22 years as a major league baseball star has come to an end. The 38-year-old one-time Chicago Cub manager and a utility infielder with the Chicago White Sox since last year, was released Monday but will become a Pale Hose scout. The release of Cavaretta and infielder Stan Jok reduced the Sox ! roster to 26 - one over the limit.

Dodgers Start First Western Tour Os Season NEW YORK (INS) —The practically invincible Dodgers invade the west today and the rampaging Indians attacked the east. It was a double blitz that required twin Davy Crocketts as a defense. Brooklyn moved in on Chicago with a chance to rack up the long- • est National League winning streak in two years. The Dodgers have won 10 straight. The last time the Bums won HO in a row this season they suffered a, human failure. They lost to the Giants. But if the Dodgers beat the pesky Cubs they will own the longest win skein in the NL since they won 13 in succession in 1953, the year the Giants lost the pennant. The Dodgers, with 21 wins, only two losses, a .913 percentage and if nine-game lead, have a ninegame western tour on tap. It’s a tgst for them and the west. So far it has been Brooklyn and u second division. The disappointing Milwaukee Braves are the only team with an above .500 percentage. And the Braves have a 12-11 record that’s far from sparkling. For the opening of their Chicago show the Dodgers hays, nominated huge Don Newcombe, a fellow who doesn’t like to pitch-batting prae-tice-as their starter against Warren Hacker. Newk is unbeaten (3-0) this season bijt he hasn't started since April 24. The firebailer's lifetime record against the Cubs is recommendation enough, however. It’s 10-0 in favor of Donald. The Indians, who’ve been stepping at a better clip than 1954, the year the Yankees lost the pennant, assault Yankee Stadium with a two-game lead in the American Deague, nine wins in their last ten.games and Bob Lemon. The Yankees, tied for second with the Chicago White Sox, haven’t exactly been idle, either. They've won four in a row. The champion Indians are doing it much the way they did last year-whipping the second division and breaking even with the big guys. They are 1-1 with the Yanks, 2-2 with the White Sox, and 3-2 with the Tigers. But they’re 5-0 with Kansas City, 3-0 with Boston, 2-0 with Washington and 1-1 with Baltimore. That’s 11-1 against the i last four.

He suggested in reply to questions that newsmen check in Paris to find out whether arrangements are being made for a Big Four meeting. The President’s willingness to attend a “meeting at the summit” —provided it would be feasible and useful —was relayed to secretary of state John Foster Dulles in Paris late Monday night. There are reports that the toplevel conference —if agreed upon—might be held in Switzerland some time in July. ( It was learned that the decision for Mr. Eisenhower to explore a meeting with Soviet premier Nikolai Bulganin, British prime minister Sir, Anthony Eden and French premier Edgar Faure was reached some time ago. Discretionary authority to agree to a conference was given to Dulles in a message from the White House. Dulles was told to go ahead with plans for a top-level meeting provided: 1. A specific agenda satisfactory to the U.S. can be agreed upon. 2. Any meeting of chiefs of state would have to b e short —probably less than a week long—and confined to a discussion of broad principles. 3. The spade work inarranging details of agreements to ease world tensions would be done later in a foreign ministers’ conference.
