Decatur Pony League Teams Win Twin Bill Decatur's Pony League teams took both ends of a county league double header Monday night at Worthman field. The Cardinals swamped Adams Central, 20-5, in the opener, which was called at the end of five innings because of the 15-run rule. Two big innings paced the Cardinals’ victory, nine runs scoring in the third frame and seven in the fourth. In the nightcap, the Braves came from behind to defeat Berne, 6-4. Both teams scored twice in the fourth Inning and Berne took the lead with a pair in the fifth. The Braves bounced back with three in the fifth on only one hit, plus two bases on balls and three errors. The Decatur team added an insurance run in the sixth. More Pony League action is scheduled each night this week. The Braves are scheduled at Geneva this evening, the Cardinals at Monmouth Wednesday, Geneva at Berne Thursday, Berne at Adams Central Friday, and the Cardinals and Braves at Worthman field Saturday, following a Little League game.

Indiana All-Stars Whip Kentucky Five Ky. (UP)—Oscar Robertson closed out one of the most glittering Indiana high school basketball careers in history Monday night, scoring 41 points In a 102-72 shellacking of Kentucky and a Swbep of the annual two-game ALLStar series. The Hoosier hot-shot who led Indianapolis Attacks to two straight Indiana cage crowns thus eracked the classic scoring record for the second time in three nights. He pumped in 34 points In Indiana's 92-78 conquest of Kentucky Saturday at Indianopis. His latest splurge erased the Armory series record of 30 by Hallie Bryant, another former Attacks star, in 1953. Roberston was benched by coach Angus Nicoson after racking up Indiana's 100th point. But only seconds later he was back in action—and fittingly enough pumped in the final bucket —a looping one—hander with just three seconds to go. He received a rousing ovation from the ‘B,OOO partisans as he accepted his second “Star of Stars" award as the outstanding Hoosier player. Ed Smallwood, who caged 39 pants for Kentucky, received similar 'honors. The winning total also was the highest ever chalked up in the mid-summer extravaganza and gave the Hoosiers their 15th victory in 17 games with the boys from the blue grass. The previous single-game high was 94 by Indiana last year. The Hoosiers, leading only 4746 at the half, tossed in 30 points in the third period and held Kentucky to 12. And that was it. Robertson was ably supported by big Frank Radovich of Hammond with 22 points and Lafayette's Ron Fisher with 15. Just as important was the stellar allround game of little Dennis Tepe of Elkhart. Bob Hickman of Terre Haute, Bob Bradtke of Hammond, and Joe Simpson of Southport. Lanky Don Mills hit 12 points for Kentucky, while Kelly Coleman. the much-publicized iad with an incredible season average of nearly 47 points per game, was a real bust. He wound up with four points.

Mantle Paces Yanks To Win Over Athletics By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) The middle letters in his name spell K-E-Y M-A-N and make no mistake about It MicK-E-Y M-A-N---tle is just that in the New York Yankee pennant picture right now. Never was his value more clearly demonstrated than Monday night when he collected four hits in a 9-3 victory -over the Athletics at Kansas City that put.the Yankees a game and a half ahead of the idle, pesky Chicago White Sox. Mantle hit no homers, reven though the Yankees collected four, two by rookie Norm Slebern and one each by Hank Bauer and Joe Collins. He remained 14 games ahead of Babe Ruth’s record pace of 60 homers for 1927 with a total of 27. but th. , -ight now Is immaterial. What Mantle did was to upset the entire Kansas City lineup, pitchers, fielders, hitters. In the first inning he tripled to drive in a run. In the third inning, when the Athletics -were stacked heavily around the right side of the diamond. Mantle foiled the shift ,by Hunting safely dowm third. In the fifth he again capitalized on the maneuvers by beating out a bit to the man in short center field, a ball .normally handled by the shortstop. In the sixth he got a normal single when the shift was not on. It is used only when Mantle bats lefty. Beyond the significance of Mantle’s four hits was the victory. In Chicago Mantle was stopped with four scattered hits for four games and the Yankees lost all of them. Time and again it has developed that the Yankees lose when Mantle is stopped. That Isn’t too often. In the National League, the bumptious Braves who may have establish'd a pact with their new manager Fred Haney, never to lose another game, won their 11th in a row since he took over, 8-5 against the Phillies and they had to offset a three-run eighth inning homer by Willie Jones to do it. In the ninth a squeeze but by Del Crandall brought in one run, a sacrifice fly by Hank Aaron delivered another and a single by Bobby Thomson completed the conquest. It was the lohgest streak for Milwaukee* since it came intu the league and significantly—perhaps—all of the wins have’ been on the ritad. Cincinnati stayed twxr games back in second place with a 2-1 triumph over the skidding Pirates. Ted Kluszewski hit his ,14th homer in the seventh and Ray Jablonski delivered another run on a sacrifice fly as the Reds came from behind to gain the triumph on Art Fowler’s five-hitter. Brooklyn’s “displaced persons", the Dodgers, who have distressed their home fans with recent ineptness, went to their Jersey City haven and scored a 3-2 victory over the Cubs, behind with two runs in the eighth on an error. Junior Gilliam’s triple and a scoring fly by Pee Wee Reese. It was Carl Erskine’s first victory since his no-hitter over the Giants on May 12. In the only other American League game, the Senators defeated the Tigers at Detroit, 5-3 when Clint Courtney hit a two-run homer in the eighth. Billy Hoeft had struck out 10 and blanked Washington until the seventh when he tired;'; There' were no other major league games scheduled. Busy Schedule For Little League Teams Starting with tonight’s double header at Worthman field, action is scheduled every evening this week in the Deeatur Little League. The Yankees and Red Sox meet in tonight's opet&r, by the Senators and Indians. The Indians and Tigers will play at the Homestead Wednesday evening. providing there is no more rain. The White Sox and Tigers will meet at the Homestead Thursday. Friday’s double header at Worth man pits the Red Sox against the Senators, followed by the Tigers and Yankees. Saturday night, the White Sox play the Senators at Worthman, followed by a Pony League game between tYe Cardinals and Braves.

Soldier Field Not Suited For Series CHICAGO (UP) — It the vagaries ot baseball don't blast Mayor Richard Daley’s plans to hold the World Series in sprawling Soldier Field, the traffic problem certainly will, park district officials said today. Daley, a Chicago White Sox rooter since childhood, was so elated with the Sox’ sweep of their fourgame wekeend series with the New York Yankees that he "'called a news conference Monday to suggest Soldier Field as the site for the World Series. He reminded reporters that he had predicted the Sox would take all four games from the league leading Yankees, and advised the newsmen to "get ready to cover" the Sox in the series. Dailey opined that the 120,000 fans capable ot squeezing into municipally owned Soldier Field would make a nice crowd. But Robert A. Black, the Chicago park district’s chief engineer, quickly dashed the mayor’s hopes. He said the oblong field, V a for football games, could boast the world’s longest eenterfield, but something would have to be done about the right and left fields. In order to give the right and left fielders space to roam around, Blaek said, the walls would have to be knocked down at a cost ot about 1100,000. But, even that wouldn’t completely solve the problem. Black added, since the left fielder would wind up in the south lane of traffic on high - speed bake Shore Drive, and the right fielder would be stationed in the north lane. -———4Major League Leaders NATIONAL LEAGUE Player A Club GAB R H Pct.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Office) By JACK CUDDY (United Prees Sports Writer) NEW YORK (UP) - If Jim Wilson pitches the White Sox to the American League pennant — and he’s making a mighty fine try — the Yankees will kick themselves all uver the lot for passing up an opportunity to get him this winter. Since obtaining the 34-year-old, soft-throwing Wilson from the Orioles on May 21, the White Sox have cut the Yankees’ lead by five games and Wilson has clicked off six victories to bring his record to 10-3. Throughout most of last winter the Yankees dickered with the Orioles, expressing an interest in Baltimore pitchers Bill Wight, Ray Moore and Wilson. First the Yankees were interested in Wight, then Wilson and for a time in Moore. ■ . Oriole officials indicated they were open for bids and the Yankees listed such players as second baseman Gerry Coleman and pitcher Tom Morgan as availables. The Orioles held out for still another Yankee player and, while negotiations were going en. the Bronx Bombers lost interest in obtaining Wight because he got off to a poor start. So the Yankees focused their attention on Wilson and Moore but finally decided neither of them was worth what the Orioles were asking. Wilson’s brilliant showing with the White Sox so far must come as a particularly annoying boomerang to tips -Yankees, especially in view of the poor pitching they have, been getting from Bob Turley and Mickey McDermott, two hurlers they went all-out to obtain from other clubs. When the White Sox acquired Wilson tram the Orioles, Chicago manager Marty Marion said; "Without a pitcher like Wilson we didn’t have a chance to win the pennant but now' that we’ve got him, I honestly think we can

win it aIL” • The Yankees viewed Wilson’s transfer from Baltimore to Chicago without undue alarm; certainly they never felt that the exMilwaukee right-hander could possibly make all that difference to the White Sox pennant chances. Wilson has had to wait a long time for stardom to beckon. In 1945 he was almost killed by a line drive off Hank Greenberg’s bat. As he lay in his hospital bed he debated whether to return to baseball and he admits now he considered giving it up. For the next few years he drifted between the majors and minors without conspicuous success until June 12. 1954 when he pitched a no-hit, no-run game for the Braves against the Phillies. But the Braves peddled him to the Orioles in April of 1955 and even though he was tolling for a seventh-place club he posted 12 victories against 18 defeats. Those dozen victories, plus the fact that a number of his losses occurred in exceptionally close games, opened not only the eyes of the Yankees but the eyes of a number of other clubs as well. Several times during the past winter the Orioles had inquiries about Wilson from various American League clubs but no deal for him was consummated until last month.
