Al Smith also homered for Cleveland in a 15-hit assault [on three Giant pitchers while i Hank Sauer and Daryl Spencer connected for the losers. The Pittsburgh Pirates rolled to their fourth straight victory and seventh in their last eight games by beating the Kansas City Athletics, 6-4, at Fort Myers. Fla.

W» — The St. Louis Hawks and the Boston Celtics were deadlocked today after two week ends and four games in'their best of seven series for the National Basketball Association championship.. Boston’s Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman and their teammates squared matters at Kiel Auditorium here Sunday night with a 123118 decision that disappointed a partisan crowd of 10,053 fans. It was the second Boston victory in the series and it came on the heel of St. Louis victory Saturday night, 100-98, via Bob Pettit’s 30-foot jump shot with 44 seconds to play. The teams split their two games here just as they did the two opening games a week previous in Boston. They will play game No. 5 in Boston Tuesday night and return here for the sixth on Thursday night. WEATHER <Caa«taa** r»w owl had limited service, too. The growth of service, with more telephone lines in, plus the complicated nature of the new dial lines and line improvements to prevent static and whispering in the lines, made the storm damage more difficult to fix, and more extensive than in previous ice storms, Heare said. Roads Still Out Many county roads continued to be flooded as the St. Mary's river and its tributaries continued to rise slowly. The Piqua road in several places north and west cf Decatur is flooded; U. S. highway 224 east of Decatur in the Bellmont area is under six inches of water for about 60 feet; the Mud Pike is under, water just south of the Homestead; many of the county roads near the St. Mary’s and Wabash rivers are under water. The city street department continued its cleanup program, hampered by bad weather and high water. Streets and alleys were generally clear by the weekend, and work progressed on limbs and trees down in yards and piled by the streets. 1 Trade in a good town — Decatur

Indiana Big Four To Renew Tourney INDIANAPOLIS — The fabulous Hoosier collegiate basketball classic will return next December to highlight the 1957-58 Indiana college cage season. Athletic directors of the four participating schools — Butler, Indiana, Notre Dame and Purdue — declared an official and to the classic's five-year absence Saturday with a joint announcement that the event would be resumed in Butler Fielhouse Dec. 27-28, 1957. Format of theclassic, which was discontinued in 1952 after five starstudded performances, will be unchanged. Butler and Notre Dame each will tackle one of the Big Ten entries in the opening double header and then exchange opponents the following night. Pairings for the opening performance will be drawn by the four coaches several days in advance of event. The classic orginated in 1947, attracted 13,500 fans to its first session and quickly established itself as one of the nation’s top collegiate basketball extravaganzas. Butler's undergog Bulldog won their first five successive classic starts to win the unofficial “championship in 1947 and 1948. Indiana’s Hurryin’ Hoosiers took over at that point after halting the Butler victory march in the 1949 event, and now boast the top all-time won-and-lost record in the meet. Indiana, with a string of seven straight triumphs still "working," has run up eight victories in 10 classic engagements. Butler and Notre Dame come next in the all-time standings with identical 5-5 records and Purdue trails with 28. Coaches and athletic directors of all four schools hailed the return of the famed event to the Hoosier collegiate hardwood picture. Butler’s head coach and athletic director,. Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle, a tireless work tor the resumption of the classic since its discontinuance, termed it “the best thing that could happen to college basketball in Indiana?' "The classic," Hinkle continued, "has been — and will be again — the top basketball attraction in the Midwest; one of the nation’s best.” HEAVY WIND Oae> from that city reported busy pumping out the water in emergency cases.

Doug Ford Wins Masters Open Title Sunday AUGUSTA, Ga. (UP) - Doug Ford, a golfer from the sidewalks of New York who saw his first green on the top of a pool table, broke the stranglehold today that the big-time titlists have held on the Masters tournament since I Bobby Jones founded it in 1934. The swarthy kid from 87th St. ■ and Broadway picked up 87 hundred bucks Sunday for his first big win since he took the PGA title in 1955. But more important than what it meant to Ford, his victory apparently signaled at last the com-ing-of-age for a new generation in big time golf. He decisively outstarred Sam Snead, who had won the Masters three times and played the first three days this year as if he owned it Old Guard Falters Ben Hogan, a two-time winner and strong favorite, didn’t even make the qualifying 40 when the field of 100 was cut after the second day. Neither did Cary Middlecoff, an early favorite. Ford shot a final 66, touring the pressure - packed back nine in 32 for a total six under par, -and when Snead, approaching 45, heard about that he let youth take over. Ford is 10 years younger. Sammy did settle down somewhat to score a par 72 and a 286 total. That put him three strokes behind Ford’s 283, .but was still good enough for second place. It was the third time that a 283 had been good enough to win the tournament for which the record is Ben Hogan’s historic 274, 14 under, in 1953. Demaret Finishes Third Ford’s important recent victories were in the Los Angeles and Panama Opens. They helped him amass more than $14,000 before the Masters as he played In all but two tournaments on the winter stretch. His victory here blasted the belief that a current low scorer who plays every tournament on tiie circuit cannot win the Masters against the likes of Snead and Hogan who aim for this tourney as a special target. Ford didn’t have to do as well as he did. Many in the gallery of more than 20,000 got their money’s worth when he came out of a bunker on the 18th with, a sandflecked ball that bounced in the cup. It was a championship shot. In third place behind Snead was Jimmy Demaret, only previous three-time Masters champion besides Sammy, with 287. Amateur Harvle Ward of San Francisco finished with an even par 288. ’ ■ % i»*l ? Intra-Squad Game Is Postponed At Purdue LAFAYETTE (UP) — An intrasquad football game was postponed at Purdue University Saturday because <4 bad weather. The game was scheduled in connection with the annual Purdue football clinic." Most of the 565 coaches rfom 11 states remained to hear the final speaker, assistant coach Ray Graves of Georgia Tech.

Today's Sport Parade (Keg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) —Gil McDougald. buried among such New York Yankee titans as Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra, is touted as the most underrated member of the Bronx Bomber cast but a survey indicates.today that there’s one such on every club. Unobtrusively he does a hangup Job afield and wields a big clutch bat which delivered at-a .311 pace last season. . ! ' But consider also scrappy Pon Zimmer of the Brooklyn Dodgers. His courage and drive does much to put a spark to the Dodger fuse. A good man to have on the spot Jackie Collum of the Cubs doesn’t get many raves either, but the little pitcher, who had a 6-2 mark last season, is a willing and able workhorse. Among the muscular Cincinnati Reds, you can’t hardly locate little Rocky Bridges. Yet he plays every position in the infield except first base and Manager Birdie Tebbetts says almost confidentially that he’d trade "anybody 90 the club except him.” •*■ How About Covington Mostly the pitchers get the raves around the Milwaukee Braves. But Wes Covington deserves kudos for a fine Job when he gets the chance. And how about Wes Westrum of the Giants? No Berra at bat, but he is a brilliant receiver. There’s nothing spectacular about the Pirates’ Dick Groat but the Buc shortstop is as steady as a rock and such a solid baseball man that he already is being mentioned as managerial timber when his playing days are over. And when you throw rocks at those Cardinal pitchers, take it easy on 40-year-old Murry Dickson. His knuckler has the hitters cussing. Take Dick Williams of Baltimore. He does everything but pitch and Manager-Paul Richards says he "could develop into the best one-man gang in the league." Lepeio Has Strong Arm Ted Lepeio has one of\ the strongest arms in baseball. There’s no telling what he would do if given an all-out chance. Rated a star, Minnie Minoso of the White Sox still doesn’t get all the bows he deserves for this is the player—they say on the club—who carries the whole team. Cleveland’s Al Smith is buried by the Tribe pitchers but he’s the best player on the club and, according to Casey Stengel, one of the best in the league. Detroit’s Jack Phillips is another brilliant Jack of all trades and master of most and yet not one fan in 20 realizes he crowds the .300 batting mark. Kansas City’ll Hector Lopez, who commutes between the infield and outfield, is a fine payoff hitter. And. for underrated players, how about Washington’s Pete Runnels, whq most managers agree should have been on the all-star team and wasn’t? Sure, McDougald should get more recognition. But he’ll gladly settle ’for those annual World Series checks, which is a consolation the others rarely, if ever, have. Max Truex Sets New Two-Mile Record LOS ANGELES (UP) — Southern California boasted a national track record holder Monday jin liti tie Max Truex, two-mlte run specialist fronj Warsaw, Ind. Truex helped lead USC to a dual meet victory over Occidental Saturday by galloping the eight-lap run in 8:55. That broke the old NCAAtnark of 8:57.7 set by USC’s Fernando Ledesma in 1955. It was the fourth fastest two miles ever run by an American.

College Field Goal I Accuracy 1$ Tops NEW YORK (UP)- Field goal shootihg in college basketball during the Dust season was the most accurate ’•ever, and yet overall scoring underwent the most marked recession in the 65-year history of the snort. 1 How is this paradox explained? By the ever-increasing trend to- • ward possession-style basketball. Guided by the successes of san Francisco’s two-time < 1955 and 1956) national champions and North Carolina's top-ranked Tar Heels this year, college teams held the ball for the best shots more than they ever had before. Final official statistics released today by the NCAA Service Bureau showed that 4,113 major college games this season produced an average of 144 points per game, compared to the all-time high of 146.5 for 1956. While scoring decreased, field goal and free throw shooting accuracy went up, and for the fifth straight season fewer fouls were committed, w Personal fouls averaged 36.5 per game for both teams involved, as against 37.7 a year ago. Field goal shooting went up to 38.2 per cent from last season’s 37.5, and free throw accuracy to 67.3 from 66.8. Fast-breaking Connecticut won team offensive honors with an average of 87.3 points per game, and Oklahoma A&M was the top major college defensive team for the 16th time in the past 21 seasons. The Aggies' yield of 54.6 points per game was the highest ever to win the honor. Ohio University was runnerup in offense with 87.1 points per game. Morehead (Ky.) State, the previous season’s team scoring champion, wound up fifth this year. RACKETS GROUP iUonuauae from FMte t»o«> _ Kennedy said his talk with Shefferman dealt mainly with “matters raised at committee hearings." He said the Chicago inqui r y involves “management more than labor.” Reuther Pledges Fight —Walter Reuther, vice president of the AFL-CIO and president of the United Auto Workers, urged jail for “crooked employers as well as dishonest labor leaders.” Addressing his union's convention in Atlantic City, .he pledged the auto workers will be 100 per cent behind the cleanup of corruption in both business and labor. —Federal District Attorney Paul W. Williams said in New York that ”12 or 14 grand juries” and 10 of his assistants are now investigating racketeering in New York City, but the fight against criminal elements in labor will go one for “years and years.” —Mundt said after Easter the Senate Rackets Committee will hold hearings on charges of illegal collusion by "dishonest management” and union leaders in the construction industry in New York City. He said they will involve chageS of acid throwing, “goon squads” and “skull crushing.” » March 23 Accident Takes Second Life GARY «fi — Injuries suffered in a. two-car collision March 23 claimed the life of Ivan W.
