That left 27 Yankees still out of the fold, including the bulk of the pitching staff. Don Larsen, among the pitchers, is expected to give the Yankee negotiators their biggest tussle on the basis of that unprecedented nohit, no-run game he turned in against the Dodgers in last year’s World Seires. The no-windup righthander reportedly hopes to double his 1956 salary of $12,000 this year but the first contract he returned assertedly carried only a $3,000 raise. Although the terms of Mantle's contract were not revealed, Yankee General Manager George Weiss revealed the switch-hitting center fielder received the greatest increase in the plub’s history. He received an estimated $32,000 in 1956, so Mickey’s new contract represented almost a 100 per cent hike in pay. Elsewhere around the baseball front, pitcher Humberto Robinson and outfielder Earl Hersh signed their contracts with the Milwaukee Braves, while White Sox Vice President Charles Comiskey said hi§ team might make a deal with Washington later this week. The White Sox are looking for an outfielder and a catcher and it is known they have made overtures for Roy Sievers and Clint Courtney. f , Meanwhile, the White Sox brought their list of satisfied players to 26 with the signing of’outfielder Jim Landis and pitcher Dick Marlow. Resume Publication Os Outdoor Indiana INDIANAPOLIS W — State Conservation Director Edwin K. Marlin today announced that Outdoor Indiana, a state-financed publication ended in 1953 by former Gov. George N. Craig, will resume publication July 1. Marlin named Walter Thompson, publisher of the Randolph County News, as his public relations director.

t ■ i r Ohio Stale And Purdue Lose In Big Ten Games CHICAGO (UP) — Ohio State’s Buckeyes clung stubbornly to first place today but they stood in dire danger from four other challengers in the unpredictable Big Ten basketball race. Despite their 96-89 loss to Illinois Monday night, the Buckeyes retained their l>alf-game margin over second - place Purdue when the Boilermakers blew a chance at taking over by bowing. 66-54, to Michigan. When all the scores were in, including Indiana's 74-56 romp over Northwestern, Ohio State had a 6-2 record compared to Purdue’s 5-2 slate and 4-2 marks shared by Illinois, Michigan and the Hoosiers. The Buckeyes face their next threat Saturday when they meet Indiana on the Hoosier court. The Ohio Staters got off to a running start in the race by beating mostly second-division clubs at home. The setback by the Illini ’ was their second straight by a leading contender and followed a loss last week at Michigan State. Illini scoring ace George BonSalle hit for 27 points in his final appearance to pace the winning attack. The Illinois qulnet moved in front shortly after the start and led the rest of the way. The Buckeyes came close at 8785 when Frank Howard and Gene Millard sparked a rally but Illinois iced the contest with 90 seconds remaining and swelled the winning margin to 7 points. Howard’s 30 points were enough to make him the conference’s leading scorer, supplanting Archie Dees of Indiana. Michigan’s fourth conference victory came at the close of a seesaw battle with the Boilermakers in which the lead changed hands eight times. The Wolverines, with Ron Kramer providing the ammunition, moved ahead early in the second half 48-47 and were never headed. Kramer’s 17 points were tops for the Wolves and for the game. Center Lamar Lundy got 14 for Purdue. Dees and Charley Hodson powered the Hoosier victory over Northwestern in a ragged basketball contest. Dees’ total of 20 points, 3 points below his game average, dropped him to second place among Big Ten marksmen. Big Ten defending champion lowa went out of the conference Monday night and was handed a 62-54 defeat by Washington University of St. Louis. Jt was Washington's firrt triumph over the Hawkeyes since 1928. Pigeon Hunt Ends In Youth's Death SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (W — A pigeon hunting companion accidentally shot and killed Wendell W. Maim, 16.

Big Ten Requests More Football TV CHICAGO (UP)—The Big Ten i wants looser controls on football television to forestall legislative pressure which could force the conference out of the National Colj leglate Athletic Association, Illit nois Athletic Director Doug Mills ' speculated today. The conference has proposed , that the 1957 NCAA TV plan should have only one restriction: ' That no school may appear on , video more than three times, regardless of the size of the network or area covered. “If that goes through,” Mills said, “I think it would kill the bills which would force our schools to televise.” Legislation has been introduced in both Oftpp.and Indiana to frrrce state schools to telbviSe mo fe games, and Mills said that in his opinion, should the tchbo'ls be forced to get out dt the NCAA, other Big Ten members would get out too. < . ~. Mills, Region Four representative on NGAA TV Committee, will fight for the Big Ten plan today at the opening of a three day com- , mittee session to devise the 1957 plan. Hearings for proposals from interested parties will be held today and the committee was expected to work the next two days devising the program. St. Joseph Loses In League Contest 1 St. Joseph of Decatur was de--1 seated by St. Patrick, 60-37, in a CYO grade school league game Sunday at Fort Wayne. The winners led at all periods, 16-12, 37-21, and 49-30. De La Riveria led Decatur scoring with 16 points.
