Larsen, Podres To Make First Starts Today By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Don Larsen of the Yankees and Johnny Podres of the Dodgers, both eager to pick up where they left off, get their chance today with their first official starts since pitching the games that made each a national hero. Larsen faces the Red Sox today in his first regulation appearance since hurling a perfect game against Brooklyn in the World Series last fall, and Podres, who served an interim hitch in the Navy, opposes the Pirates in his first official outing since he beat the Yankees, 2-0, in the seventh game of the 1955 "World Series. Larsen insists he is going to try to extend his perfect skein today Stainst Boston as long as possie although he hasn’t been especially impressive in, exhibitions this spring. To Oppose Nixon ' He wilt be opposed by knucklebailer Willard Nixon, who won nine games last season, three of them against the Yankees. Unlike Larsen, the left-handed Podres has been something of a sensation with the Dodgers this spring. Save for one inning against Milwaukee on March 14 when he gave up eight runs, he yielded only five runs in 31 innings for an earned run average of 1.45. Opposing Podres will be Pittsburgh ace Bob Friend, with one victory to his credit already this season. j The Milwaukee Braves, who like the Dodgers have won their first two games, are sending Ray Crone against Brooks Lawrence of Cincinnati. Manager Mayo Smith of the Phillies, looking for his first victory after two straight setbacks, is sending left - hander Harvey Haddix (13-8) against the Giants. Bill Rigney will counter with either Al Worthington (7-14) or Johnny Antonelli. Cubs, Cards Tangle In the other game scheduled in the National League, Don Kaiser, one of thq, Chicago Cubs’ promising young pitchers who is better than his 4-9 record of last season indicates, is stated to go against Lindy McDaniel 17-6) of the St. Louis Cardinals. Detroit, which has dropped its first three games, hopes to regster its first victory today at the ’xpense of Early Wynn (20-9) of Cleveland. Either Frank Lary, a 11-game winner last year who lost this year’s opener, or Paul Foyiack (15-13) will go for the Tigers. Dick Donovan (12-10) will be "tying to pitch the White Sox to their third straight victory and ie'U be opposed by either Tom Gorman (9-10) or rookie Gene Host of the Athletics. ■ Lanky Connie Johnson, who won nine games and lost 11 for Baltimore, is slated to face Camil Pascual of Washington. There were no games scheduled ,n the majors Friday. Waste Motion OMAHA (IP> — Thieves did it the hard way when they stole $616 from the Fred Schneider Motor Co.

Don January Leads Tourney Os Champs LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UP) - All you have to do these days to shoot good golf is to turnjap sick or announce an injury. Don January, a bad back man from Texai, went into the third round of the $40,000 Tournament of Champions today sporting a two-stroke lead over the other 22 champions — after shooting a course-cracking 65 Friday despite a back wrapped in old newspapers to assure warmth. He posted a 32-33 score to add to an opening .round of 78 for a 143 total. That put him two strokes in front of Billy Casper and Arnold Palmer, a couple of young buckos; and the ancient Jimmy Demaret, who always plays well where these is wind—which is a major t obstacle on this flat layout. Gene Littler has a 73-73-446 — and at 147 is Dr. Cary Middlecoff, the Dallas. Tex., dentist, who is tee tourney favorite. At 148 are Dick Mayer, La Jolla, Calif., Dow Finsterwald, Tequesta, Fla., and Pete Cooper, Lakeland, Fla. The 149 scores are held by Fred Hawkins v El Paso. Tex., Doug Ford, the Masters champion from Mahopac, N. Y., Ed Furgol, former National Open chanson from St. Andrews., 111., and Art Wall, Pocono Manor, Pa., who won this event in 1954.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

Star Athletes Admit Tryouts At University INDIANAPOLIS (UP) - The Indiana High School Athletic association said Friday it 'received signed statements from the principals of three basketball stars saying they took part in tryouts St the University of Houston. IHSAA Commissioner L.V. Phillips disclosed receipt of the Statements 24 hours after Houston Coach Guy Lewis denied the Hoosier stars received recent tryouts. “Obviously," said Phillips, “the stories don’t match.” Phillips said Houston athletic director Harry Fouke asked him for copies of the statements. Mississinewa principal Lawrence Meyer wrote Phillips that Ronnie Horn flew to Houston "with other Indiana boys" April 4, that they were housed in a dormitory with the Houston freshman basketball team, and “played friendly basketball in the gymnasium . . .in uniforms furnished by the student manager." Principals Earl Delph of Peru and James O. Weddle of Nappanee sent Phillips similar statements. Delph said Jim Rody, a senior starter “informs me. . . they shot basketballs and scrimmaged ’three on three," but to his knowledge were not observed by the coaches." Weddle said Nappanee star center Larry Lakins "admitted to us that he did participate in some type of light basketball workout with other visiting players while at the Houston campus." "He claims to his knowledge there were no coaches present in the gym during the workout,” Weddle said. Six players in all were declared ineligible by their schools for spring sports for violating IHSAA rules. The other three were Elkhart players—Ken Hudkins, Ted Luckenbill and Max Edy. Hudkins and Edy. accepted paid trips to Western Michigan. Phillips said Fouke phoned him from Houston Thursday. “He told me his coaches were instructed not to have any type of workout on the campus, and that he would check into it," Phillips said. “He also told foe the Texas Interscholastic League has the same rules as Indiana. ! so they should have been familiar with the rules." Pirates Outfielder Returns To Action BROOKLYN (UP) — Pittsburgh outfielder Bob Clemente, out of action for nearly a week with a back injury, is, expected to start today when the Pirates meet the Brooklyn Dodgers. Clemente, who has been suffering from backaches since spring training started, reported he felt “much better” Friday. Beecham Is Winner Against Holly Mims MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UP) - Jimmy Beecham, a diet-conscious “smoothie” from Miami, today attributed his revenge victory over Holly Mims to the seven pounds he lost since last November. Beecham scaled 153 pounds Friday night when he punched his way to a majority 10-round decision over Mims'in their return TV fight at the Miami Beach Auditorium. That "Was exactly seven pounds less than he weighed in their first meeting last Nov. 13, which Mims won on a close decision.

Today s Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OBCAR FRALEY i United Preu Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP>—The spitball issue is before the baseball court again today, and as usual, the only thing which will happen is that everybody will get so dry arguing that nobody will be able to throw the pitch—-for a few days. The man in the diamond dog- . house is Lew Burdette of the Mil- . waukee Braves. When he beat the t Cincinnati Redlegs for the eighth . straight time, manager Birdie Tebbetts screamed that he could have done it Ohly by using the illegal spitter. Which isn’t exactly news. Mayo Smith, the pilot of the Philadelphia Phillies, made the same observation but in a quieter tone, just last July. "It is unbelievable,” quoth Mayo, “what Burdette gets away with.” Flicker Os Fire Considering all the smoke, there has to be a flicker of fire. Yet among baseball men it is no secret that there are a number of saliva specialists in the big leagues. And, it might be added, always have been. _ „ Preacher Roe, hinting strongly that he had company in Sal (The Barber) Maglie, admitted in print after his retirement that he "juiced it up” from 1948 through 195 4. Naturally, whenever accused during that period, he made a blanket denial. Other noted pitchers of the spitter in recent years were Joe Page, who pitched the Yankees to a pennant with it, and Hugh Casey, who lost the Dodgers a World Series* game with K- M is recorded in the baseball history books that Mickey Owen missed a “low curve” which would have been a game-ending third strike against Tommy Henrich in 1941 and the Yanks went on to win the ball game. Owen’s Eye Instead "Casey aimed at me,” Henrich says in vivid explanation, “but he spit in Owen’s eye instead." Many baseball men feel that, in an era where everything is designed to aid the hitter, the spitter should be brought back. Such a move has support in high places, being backed even by Commissioner Ford Frick. So the argument continues, year after year, and so does surreptitious use of the spitball. Harvey Hansen New President Os Tigers DETROIT (UP) — Harvey Hansen, 61, Detroit lumberman and a follower ot the Detroit Tigers since 1911, is the new president of the American League baseball teafh, its third in less than a year. Hansen’s election by the board of directors Friday was unexpected since Fred Knorr, the man Hansen succeeds, was the motivating force behind the 11-man syndicate which last fall, purchased the Tigers for $5,500,000. Hansen said that there would be no change in the Tiger field or front office staff. Record Attendance For Sunday School The Decatur Missionary Sunday school enjoyed another record day last Sunday with 257 attending. This broke the new record which had been reached just a week previous. The church is looking forward to another record day tomorrow. Tomorrow marks the closing day of the special preEaster Sunday school rally which has been in progress for the past six weeks. The day is being called “Sunday of Triumph,” which efforts being made to reach new goal numerically and spiritually throughout the day. For the morning worship hour the pastor has selected for his theme, “Values Os Easter.” During the service there will be dedication of children and reception of members. To climax this special Easter day the Pleasant Mills high school male quartet will sing in the evening services. The public is invited to attend all of these services. HIGHWAY x— rwt* o—> diana highway contacts out" of "friendship” with Smith. He said he once sold a $26,000 highway mixer to the highway department and $132,000 worth of an expensive motor fuel additive to improve engine performance. Mogilner was quoted as saying he "never was a partner with "Smith in Indiana in anything.” If you have something to sen or roam* for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.
