White Sox And Red Sox Win In Little League A pair of thrillers were staged in the Decatur Little League Tuesday evening at Worthman field, as the White Sox edged the Tigers, 4-3, and the Red Sox nosed out the Yankees, 7-6. Trailing 3-1 after five innings of play, the White Sox rallied for three runs in the sixth for their opening game victory. The Sox put together three hits and a pair of walsk for their winning rally. The unlucky Tigers, without a victory to date, attempted to puli the game out of the fire, putting two men on base on a walk and a hit, but a strikeout ended their hopes. The Yankees nearly pulled one out of the fire in the nightcap, scoring five runs in the sixth, which fell one run short of a tie. The Red Sox started fast, piling up six runs in the first inning on five hits and three errors. The Sox added what proved to be the winning run in the third inning. A Little League-Pony League double header is scheduled tonight at Worthman. The White Sox and Red Sox will play the LL game at 6 o’clock, followed by the Decatur Braves and Adams Central Pony League teams. The Senators and Indians will meet in a league game at 6 p.m.

Pennsylvania Seeks New Boxing Code HARRISBURG (INS) — The ad-1 ministration’s proposed boxing code before the legislature is headed for a series of amendments to tighten the state athletic commission’s enforcement of regulations. The code, introduced simultaneously in the house and senate late Tuesday, would give the three member commission a strong hand to curb sham or collusive' bouts and insure safety of boxers. Wrestlers would be covered by the proposal, too. Gov. George M. Leader sent a special message to the assembly stating that the purpose of the code is to secure “honest, not fixed boxing; protection of the rights of the boxer to do his best, get the , money he earns and fight only when fit to do so and freedom from racketeering in Pennsylvania boxing ...” Sen. Benjamin R. Donolow (D Phila.), said he will sponsor amendments proposing: 1. Annual examinations of referees, judges’ and timekeepers for ability and to determine moral background; 2. Require contestants to notify the commission within 48 hours after a bout of the amount paid managers from purses; 3. A month’s training before each boxing contest; — — 4. X-ray examination of fighters’ hands before each bout; 5. Life time bans for wrestlers, boxers, referees or judges not notifying the commission of attempted bribery; 6. Semi-annual physical examinations for all contestants; 7. Registration of all owners of boxers and wrestlers. The code would requijp out of state co-prompter's to secure SIOO permits for each bout they help stage. Pennsylvania promoters would be required to obtain annual licenses. Boxers and wrestlers would be required to carry insurance ranging between SIOOO and SIO,OOO. The code sets up a score of; reasons permits could be suspend- , ed. They range from immorality and use of narcotics to code violations, having pleaded guilty or nolocontendere to any crime and consorting with persons of ill repute. L A.

Pirates Edge Milwaukee In 19th Inning NEW YOftK (INS) —Vernon Law must be moaning' really low today. The 25-year-old Pittsburgh right hander went out on a binge Tuesday night and didn’t come home until the wee hours of the morning. He pitched the equivalent of two full games and staggered to bed without the decision as the Pirates beat Milwaukee, 4-3, in 19 innings. The game, longest of the major league season and longest night I game ever played ait Forbes. Field, I consumed four hours and 45 minutes before ending at 1 a. m. Longest game ever at Forbes was the 21 inning marathon with the 1914 New York Giants, Law was gunning for his seventh victory against tour, losses' when he stepped to the rubber. Before Fred Haney took pity on him tn the 18th, the 6 foot 3 hurler from Meridian, Idaho, allowed the Braves only nine hits-never more than one in any inning - and struck out 12 while walking only two. The Braves, who dropped 13 games off the ‘National League pace, greeted winner Bob Friend in the 19th with a run on Ed Mathews’ walk and singles by Hank Aaron and Chuck Tanner. But the last pjpee Bucs bounced back to win it from Gene Conley, sixth Milwaukee pitcher, on /Jene Freese's bunt single, a sacrifice, Dale Long’s double, Frank Thomas’ single and an error by catcher Del Crandall on Bill Bruton’s throw. The Braves grabbed a quick lead on Mathews’ 23rd home run in the first inning but the Pirates answered in the third with Jerry Lynch’s two run single just after umpire Art Gore had warned Lew Burdette about m&istening the ball. ' The Braves, who pulled a triple play in the second inning, tied it in the fourth with an unearned run on a walk, wild pitch and an error. Then followed 15 scoreless innings, with the Piraiets loading -the bases on three separate occasions before crashing through. The Giants defeated St. Louis, 4-2, on Jack McCall’s four hitter after dropping tire opener of the two four hit job by Willard Schmidt. Philadelphia moved into fifth place by winning its sixth and i seventh straight games 7-3 and 6-4. in twilight meeting wßth Cincinnati. Brooklyn and Chicago were idle. The New York Yankees upped their American League lead over Chicago to "three games by turning back the White Sox, 4-3. Cleveland blew a chanee to tie for second place by losing, 8-1. to Washington and Boston topped Kansas City, 6-3. Detroit throttled Baltimore, 12-4, in the only day game. McCall went the route for the; first time after pitching 68 games with the Pirates. Red Sox and Giants. Willie Mays gave McCall the lead with his 28th homer In | the first inning and the Giants | scored their decisive two runs in the third on Whitey Locknnan’s; walk, Mays’ single. Stan Musiai’si error, Nelson Burbring’s passed ball and Wes Westrum’s sacrifice. i Schmidt, making his first start , since his recall from Omaha last week, won when Bill Virdon rap-,, ped Jim Hearn for a homer in the ' third. Ken Boyer also homered for the Cards and Gail Harris’ blast spoiled the shutout. Robin Roberts starred fii the nightcap for the Phils. While .tying Don Newcombe for the major lea- i gue “most wills" lead with his hits and drove nr three runs with ! two doubles and bases - loaded' walk. Homers by Stan Lopata and Del Ennis helped Murry I)r ks<;n beat ■ the Redlegs for the—first time since 1952. Elston Howard’s eighth inning] two run bonier won it for the Yah- ■ kees' and Tommy Bryne, who need-; ed support from reliever Jim Kon- ; BTatity. Walt Dropo homered tor tlie White Sex. !■ The crowd of 46.711 fans at Comiskey Park saw Yankee second baseman Gerry Coleman, re-, turned to action since breaking I a-collar bone last April, felled by J a Harry Byrd pitch and carried ' off the field in a stretcher. But X-rays showed nothing serious, Coleman was wealing a plastic helmet when hit. - Washington southpaw Dean Stone scattered six Cleveland trits. He also walked eight men but the Indians, who pinned the defeat o;i ■'Hoir could not capitalize | and left 11 runners sranded. Homers No. 19 for Jjpfli Jackie Jensen and Norm Zaueliiir proved ] tjje difference for Boston as the Athletics dropjted the eighth straight of their current home stand. _Jf you have »omeimug l ’to sell or ■ rooirts for rent, try X.
