DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Phillies Beat Giants Twice, Cubs Win Two NEW YORK JINS) — Don’t look now but Leo Durocher Is slipping and so are his world champion New York Giants. But not so Stan Hack’s Wrigley Fielders. The Giants slipped to third place in the National League behind the resurgent Chicago Cubs Wednesday night after virtually all of Leo’s hunches backfired on him. The baseball magician, who has been pulling pinch hitters out of his hat to win the Impossible ones, tried a juggling act Wednesday night at Philadelphia and the 27.426 fans thoroughly enjoyed it. The home team won both games, 8 to 3, and 5 to 2, to make it six victories in seven meetings with the Durochermen. Fed up with his non-hitting catchers Wes Westrum (.152) and Ray Katt (.179) Durocher reached into his stockpile for pinch hitter Bobby Hofman and asked him to make his first major league start behind the plate. The utility infielder had only four innings of experience at, backstop but his .304 bat was to provide some punch in the batting order. Lea also pulled a switch by starting Windy McCall In order to spare his ace, Johnny Antonelli, a third defeat against Giants’ nemesis Robin Roberts. — Durocher didn't announce his first game lineup until Mayo Smith had appointed Roberts. Then he also stuck Dusty Rhodes in the lineup for Monte Irvin and moved Hank Thompson to clean up spot. Hofman obliged by delivering a borne run but that was the only bright spot for Durocher as Roberts proceeded to five-hit his way to win No. 6 against three losses. ißobin, who fanned six while walking two, also tripled, singled and scored two funs. Antonelli failed to escape the sacrifical altar after all as the Phils blasted him out in the first inMing of the nightcap with four runs. Del Ennis' three-run homer Greeted him for his fifth defeat against four wins. Murry Dickson, with fine relief work by rookie Jack Meyer, won his third in five. Willie Mays homered off the 38-year-old Dickson—a 20-game loser last year. The Dodgers were rrwed out after two innings at Pittsburgh and the Cubs climbed to within six games of the Brooks by defeating St. Louis. 1 to 0, on Paul Minner’s four-hitter, and then, 3 bpj,-on Bob Rush’s two-hitter. Cincinnati pushed Milwaukee around, 13 to 2.

The New York Yankees increased their American League lead to a game and a half over the Cleveland Indians by beating Washington, 6 to 2, on Bob Turley’s threehitter. The Indians were rained out of a home game with Chicago. Baltimore beat Boston. 6 to 2. and then lost the nightcap. 5 to 2, while Detroit downed Kansas City. 8 to 2. Bob Speake’s sixth inning home run gave Minner his third victory. Cards pitcher Larry Jackson permitted only five hits in losing. Rush yielded a first inning single in the nightcap and did not allow another hit until Rip Repulski’s ninth - inning homer spoiled the shutout. He struck out eight in posting his third win. Ed Miksis homered for the Cubs in the second game. The Redlegs tagged loser Warren Spahn and four relievers for 18 hits, including Ray Jablonski's homer. Art Fowler was credited with the eight-hit win. Burly Turley became the season's first eight game winner in defeating the Senators. The 24-year-old righthander, beaten only once this season, struck out six to take the lead in the American League. Turley now has 78 and Cleveland’s Herb Score, 77. Yogi Berra blasted a three-run homer for the Yankees and Ed Fitzgerald poled one for two Washington tallies. Harry Byrd needed help from Saul Rogovin to chalk up the Baltimore win but Ike Delock went it alone for the 'Red Sox victory. Delock gave up five hits and struck out eight. < • Frank Lary pitched six hit ball for Detroit as the Tigers ripped the A’s for 14, including home runs by Red Hatfield and Bill Tuttle. Jim Finigan's homer gave the A’s a brief lead. Methodists Consider Foundation Proposal MUNCIE, Ind.
