Berne Bears Take Down Championship In Annual Track Meet [For County

The Berne track team edged out Monmouth, 73.86 to 63.43, in the last events of the annual Adams county track meet Monday on the Berne track. Geneva placed third with 61.88 points; Adams Central and Pleasant Mills tied for fourth with 28.43 points each, and Hartford placed last with 10 points. The last events, including the relays, were delayed by sudden showers. Two minor injuries drew the attention of the crowd: Paul Zehr, Berne senior, received two long gashes, one rather debp, in his left leg when he spiked himselp as he came down from a pole vault. , ' Gary McMillen, Adams Central junior, pulled up lame after tuning third in the first heat of the 440-yard run. McMillen was bothered through the basketball season by the same bad Kg. The crushed stone, extra wide track was in good shape for the meet despite herfvy rains recently. Both the pole vault and broad jump pits were very muddy, however. The meet got under way at 2 o’clock, with field events leading the way. At 2:30 track events commenced.

Giants And Pirates Managers In Feud NEW YORK (W - Bill Rigney of the Giants and Bobby Bragan of. the Pirates are a ‘feudin’ and a ‘fightin’ again. A curt "to hell with him,’’ directed by Rigney at Bragan when the Pittsburgh manager sought the use of the Polo Grounds for some post-game 'batting practice Monday, re-ignited the feud which has been going on since Bragan picked the Giants to finish last this spring. Following Pittsburgh’s 3-1 loss to the Giants Monday, Rigney received word in his clubhouse office that Bragan desired permission to use the field so that three of his playas—Dick Groat, Paul Smith and Hank Foiles — could get in some extra batting licks. “So we’re a last-place club,, eh?" Rigney snapped. “To hell with him. The answer is ’No’.” When Rigney's message was relayed back to Bragan, the Pittsburgh pilot declared: , "He can expect the same treatment when he comes to Pittsburgh. I have a feeling he’s going to need extra batting practice worse than we will. And I still say he’s going to finish last.” Meanwhile, back in the ranch ... er ... in the Giants’ quarters, that is, Rigney somehow got word of Bragan's comment and said, “He’s probably mall because he didn't think of it first./’ In all his years as a manager, Bragan said he had never previously been refused permission to use a field for batting practice following a game.

Redlegs Score First Win Os Season Monday By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The man and the team who produced the top slugging heroics of 1956 are off and running at last today—at the expense of a pair of “jinx” pitchers. Mickey Mantle, the American League’s triple crown winner, connected for his first homer of the season Monday night as the New York Yankees crushed the Washington Senators, 15-6, with a 16-hit barrage. Mantle’s blow came off southpaw Chuck Stobbs. who held Miekey to three singles in 27 official times at bat last season. The Cincinnati Redlegs, meanwhile, finally scored their first victory of 1957 when they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-6. The Redlegs had 14 hits and took advantage of six errors. In addition, they beat Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell, who topped them five times last year. Big Sixth Inning Mantle’s homer gave the Yankees a 2-0 third-inning lead and the world champions wrapped up their fourth win in five games with a seven-run outburst in the sixth which was featured by Hank Bauer's grand-slam and a triple steal with Billy Martin on the scoring end. Whitey Ford yielded two runs in seven innings before retiring and picked up his second straight victory over the Senators. Ed Bailey and Johnny Temple had three hits each to pace the Redlegs’ attack which exceeded the run production of their four previous losses. Tom Acker, third of four Cincinnati pitchers, gained credit for the win although Raul Sanchez finished up. Stan Musial collected four hits for the Cardinals for the second time in five games. .. The unbeaten Milwaukee Braves ran their winning streak to five with a 9-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs; the Brooklyn Dodgers downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1, and Willie Mays’ threerun homer gave the New York Giants a 3-1 wtn over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the other National League games. The Kansas Qty Athletics topped the Detroit Tigers, 11-7, and the Baltimore Orioles scored a 7-5 decision over the Boston Red Sox in the other American League action. Errors Help Dodgers Hank Aaron and Joe Adcock hit homers and Bill Bruton had three hits to lead a 10-hit Milwaukee attack that paved the way for Bob Buhl’s first win. Bob Rush suffered his second straight setback of 1957. The Dodgers, opening their seven-game schedule in Jersey City, profited from three unearned runs as they won their fifth decision in six games. Roger Craig picked up the triumph although Clem Labine retired the last five batters. Ex - Giant Jim Hearn was the victim of Philadelphia’s loose support. Ruben Gomez made it two in a row this year with a neat six-hit-ter marred only by Hank Foiles’ pop-fly homer. Mays’ homer came off Lui§, Arroyo in the third inning and gave the Giant center fielder three for the young cam-. saign. The Athletics blew an early four-run lead, but rallied for four runs in the ninth on only two hits for their third win in six games. Harry Simpson and Lou Skizas homered for Kansas City while Bill Tuttle knocked in five Detroit runs with a three-run homer and two sacrifice flies. Pinch-hitttr Bob Hale’s fifth-in-ning sacrifice fly and Willie Miranda's run-scoring single in the seventh gave the Orioles their victory margin over Boston’s Tom Brewer. Mike F o r n i ele s, who turned in 2 2-3 hitless innings of relief, gained credit for the victory. Trade in a good town — Decatur

Federal Judge Studies IBC Proposed Plan

NEW YORK (UP)—The International Boxing Club, which has dominated the promotion of bigtime boxing for more than eight years, would either be wiped out or sharply reduced under proposals now being considered by Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan. Ryan, who ruled on Feb. 6 that the IBC is guilty of monopolizing championship fights, received the proposals Monday both from the government and from the IBC. They were In the form of suggested "final judgments" to be meted out by Ryan to the IBC. The government suggestion was sweeping—calling for the dissolution of the IBC and its branches and the removal of IBC officials James D. Norris and Arthur Wirtz from power in Madison Square Garden. The IBC suggestion for its own punishment was, of course, much more lenient—leaving the club in business but barring its use of exclusive contracts with fighters, arenas, or radio and television outlets and limiting it to the promotion of four title fights per year for the next five years. • The next step in the court procedure will come on May 20 when Judge Ryan will hear oral arguments from both sides in support of their proposals. Then, some undetermined time later, Ryan will hand down his decision as to bow the IBC should be punished. The IBC then has the right to appeal the ease to the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court cleared the way for the present action against the IBC when it ruled that boxing, unlike baseball, is subject to the federal anti-trust laws.
