Bluffton picked up a run without a hit in the third inning on an er».:rcr, a walk and a pair of infield outs. The Yellow Jackets evened the score in the same inning on a pair of Bluffton errors and Ballard's single.

Shraluka walked, Ritter was hit by a pitched ball, and Kelly walked, and both Shraluka and Ritter stole home during the winning rally. The Tigers scored their final run in the sixth on a walk, a hit by Reeves and a passed ball. Double plays by the Jackets in both the fifth and sixth innings halted Bluffton threats.

Dave Beck Defends Teamsters' Record Points To Increase In Fund, Members ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. — Embattle? Teamster’s boss Dave Beck, under indictment on an income tax evasion charge, has told union officials to elect a new president “if you can find anyone who can do a better job than I have done.” Beck, who arrived here Friday for a regional union meeting after posting $5,000 bond in Washington on the tax evasion charge, said he "merely wants to be judged on what has been done for the international union during my administration.’’ The dapper union leader told 70 Teamster officials at the meeting that the international union treasury has gone from $28,000,000 in 1952 when he took over to $37,500,000. And he said membership grew from 999,630 to, 1,349,882. The international union ’’hasn’t lost a nickel” and although there has been a "lot of criticism,” none of it was directed at fiscal policy, he said. “Through the whole history of the labor movement, it has been necessary to take it as well as dish it out,” Beck said. "But also, the history of the labor movement is that every man is entitled to his day in court" “Many men before have been charged to the point where everyone wanted to dump them and they later were acquitted,” he added. 1 -- i-y'.'-Major League Leaders National League By UNITED PRESS National League Player A Club G.

White Sox And Braves Off At Terrific Pace By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Braves are off to their best starts in history and while neither has begun printing World Series tickpts yet, both appear to be settling down to a long, cozy stay in first place. The White Sox reeled off their 11th victory in 13 games and their fifth in a row by licking Washington, 11-6 Friday. Best previous start by a White Sox club was 10 out of 13 way back in 1020. And the Braves made it 12 victories in 14 starts with an 11-in-ning 8-7 decision over the Pirates Friday night. Up to now, the best season's start by any Milwaukee club was nine out of 12 last year. Brooklyn remained two games behind the pace - setting Braves by beating St. Louis, 6-0, at Jersey City Friday night, while Cincinnati defeated the Giants, 11-10, and the Phillies handed the Cubs their eighth straight defeat, 9-6. Yaak* Beat A’* . The Yankees stayed within games of the first - place White Sox with an 8-5 decision over the Athletics in the American League, while Detroit blanked Boston, 6-0. Inclement .weather caused postponement of the Baltimore-Cleve-land game. Outfielder Larry Doby and sink-er-ball pitcher Gerry Staley were the key cogs in the White Sox triumph over the Senators. Doby rove in four runs with a double single and infield out while Staley held Washington to two runs after coming to starter Bob Keegan's rescue in the second inning. Bobby Thomson’s single with the bases loaded in the 11th provided the Braves with their victory over the Pirates. Hank Aaron, whose three-run homer highlighted a sixrun outburst in the sixth, started the Braves on the road to victory] with a triple in the 11th. Red Murff was the winner although Warren Spahn was* rushed in when Pittsburgh threatened in the last of the 11th. Big Don Newcombe scattered five hits in beating the Cardinals for the ninth straight time. Whisenant Paces Redlegs A three-run homer by pinchhitter Pete Whisenant in the ninth carried the Redlegs to their triumph over the Giants, who had gone ahead 10-8 on Hank Sauer's three-run homer in the sixth. Gus Bell and Red Schoendienst also hit homers. Trailing by five runs, the Cubs rallied to tie their game with the Phils at but relief pitchers Vito Valentinetti and Dick Littlefield each forced in runs with basesloaded walks in the seventh to give Philadelphia the victory. The Cubs hurt their cause with five errors, four of them by rookie second baseman Casey Wise. The Yankees took advantage of three unearned runs in the seventh to beat the Athletics. Don Larsen racked up his second victory in relief of starter Bob Turley, who was knocked out in the sixth. , .. ... Paul Foytack tossed a four-hit shutout at the Red Sox for his first victory. Tiger teammate Frank House homered. Decatur Golfers Are Blanked By Elmhurst The Decatur high school golf team was shut out by Elmhurst Friday in an eightman match at the Brookwood course.

Colonial Tourney Plagued By Rain FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP)-The rain-plagued Colonial National Invitation golf tournament makes another stab at trying to get its second round on the scoreboard today with little Gene Littler and slender Art Wall setting the pace. A typical Texas thunderstorm lashed the course Friday just after the final threesome teed off and washed out some fine play by Peter Thomson, George Bayer, and Arnold Palmer while at the same time erasing some bad golf that might have cost Wall and Littler the lead. Wall, the hole-in-one specialist from Pocono Manor. Pa., and Littler, the former National Amateur champ from Singing Hills, Calif., held the lead because of opening round 68s, two under par, carded Thursday. They had yielded the lead at the 27-hole mark Friday, to Bob Rosburg, a chunky, bespectacled San Francisco "mudder** who bad tacked a par 35 to an opening round 69 for a 104 total. Littler had 105 and Wall 106 at that point when the deluge hit. British Open champion Thomson and the huge Bayer were playing the best golf of the day with front nine 33s and were tied at that point with Littler with 105.
