Athletics Win Over Detroit In Only Game By UNITED PRESS Those ex-Yankees masquerading as the Kansas City Athletics occupy first place in the American League today — and they've done their old teammates a big favor, to boot, by getting the Detroit Tigers off to a poor start. The Ahletics made it two in a row over he Tigers, 5-4, in the only major league game played Wednesday and for the second straight day an ex-Yankee did the honors. Tom Morgan stopped the Tigers on four hits in Tuesday’s opener and ex - Yank farmhand Wally Burnette turned in 5 1-3 scoreless relief innings Wednesday to pick up the victory. Bob Cerv, still another ex-Yan-kee, started the Athletics’ winning fourth inning rally when he blasted a triple and he scared the game’s decisive run on Joe DeMaestri’s single, Burnette, who took over the mound in the top of the fourth when the Tigers tied the score at 4-4, went the rest of he way allowing only two hits. .Ray Boone doubled home three runs for the Tigers in the first inning and scored their fourth run on Duke Maas’ single in the fourth while Hector Lopez and Harry Simpson homered for the Athletics. Rain washed out the other two scheduled games — St. Louis at Cincinnati and New York at Pittsburgh — but there’ll be more “opening day fanfare” today at the seven "secondary openers.” These find New York at Boston, Kansas City at Chicago, Cleveland at Detroit and Baltimore at Washington <night) in the A.L. and Pittsburgh at Brooklyn, Philadelphia at New York, Cincinnati at Milwaukee and Chicago at St. Louis (night) in the N.L.

Spider Webb Wins Over Randy Sandy CHICAGO (UP) - Spider Webb didn’t fight “smart,” he said today, but even’ one of his poorer performances earned him a win over rugged Randy Sandy Wednesday sight for his 20th straight middleweight triumph. “I guess I was just trying to get in that big one all the time,” Webb said, “and he was smothering the punches. I never got it in. It wasn't a smart fight for me. I should have boxed him instead.” The victory, though, insured Webb's retention of a third place ranking among the world 100 pounders and left him in line'for a title shot in the near future. The second ranking contender, Sugar Ray Robinson, gets another chance at the title May 1, leaving only tie top contender, Charles Humez of France, ahead of Webb. Sandy was warned about low blows by referee Bernie Weismann in the fourth round, but the round was not taken' away from him. Webb held a three - pound weight advantage at 160 to 157 pounds. Weismann scored the bout-47-46, judge Harold Marovitz had it 49-44 and judge John Bray 47-44, all for Webb. The United Press card was 48-45 for the winner.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA /

Three Elkhart Net Standouts Are Ineligible INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Three Elkhart High School basketball stars are among at least six Indiana senior prep eagers from four schools declared ineligible for spring sports Wednesday by their principals. Ruled Ineligible by their schools were Ted Luckenbill, Kenny Hudkins and Max Edy, all of Elkhart; Larry Lakins, Nappanee; Jim Rody, Peru, and Ronnie Horn, Mississinewa. They were declared ineligible for violating IHSAA rules in connection with accepting paid trips to the campuses of Houston University and Western Michigan College. L. V. Phillips, Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner, said he advised NCAA secretary Walter Byers of the violations. Phillips said he was told the governing body of collegiate athletics would make an investigation. Officials said they learned that Luckenbill, 6-6 center who led Elkhart into the four-team state finals in 1956; Lakins, Rody and Horn went to Houston by plane in the last week of March or the first week of April, with Hudkins and Edy going to Western Michigan. Others Had Tickets Phillips said he found out that two other players—Jim Bechinski of Michigan City and John Dull of East Chicago Washington — had plane tickets to fly to Houston today. “I talked to Bechinski and he told me he had, an airplane ticket with Dull April U,” Phillips .said. The player was asked to “bring basketball equipment,” Phillips added. Michigan City Principal Dan Simon was quoted by Phillips as saying Bechinski apparently changed his mind about making the trip when told he would violate the rules if he flew to Houston.’ “We want him to stay eligible — he is a very fine baseball player,” Simon said. Phillips said he asked Simon to contact East Chicago officials and advise them to warn Dull he would also be declared ineligible if he went to Houston. Spent Time At Tourney Phillips said he talked to the tqur boys who went to Houston. “It seems that Harvef 'Pate, freshman coach at Houston, spent considerable time in Indiana during and following the state tourney,” Phillips said. He added, "In each case, he contacted the boy and his parents.” Under the revised NCAA code, colleges may pay a boy's expenses for a round-trip, Byers said. But they are not permitted to hold workouts on the campus. Phillips said: “The boys told me they did work out on the campus, and had some ‘friendly games’.” The prep eagers violated two IHSAA rules in accepting trips from colleges or universities and in participating in out-of-season basketball tryouts, practices and scrimmages.
