The Legion-sponsored baseball program will get under way at once, with practices starting soon after the tryout date.

Coaches of the Legion teams from the south half of district four met at the Decatur Legion home last night to discuss this summer’s schedule!

Only Decatur, Bluffton, «and Woodburn will have teams this year. Berne, Geneva, Leo Monroeville, and* others who have sponsored teams in past years have dropped out In the north half of the district seven teams will be active, including Auburn, Kendallville, Ligonier, Waterloo, Fremont, and Orland.

Podres Halts Phils' Surge With Shutout By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Johnny Podres of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who claims he can ’’beat those blankety-blank Yankees any ! day of the week.” is acting just as tough these days with the boys in his own National League backyard. . ’. Released from the Navy last 1 year because of a chronic back ailment, there was some question at the start of the current campaign whether the blond southpaw could recapture the form that baffled the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. ■> Podres admits his back still is troubling him but he’s also giving the rival hitters a pain in the neck. Proved P.eal Stopper Dodger Manager Walt Alston, slightly alarmed over a budding four-game losing streak, called on Podres Monday night to face the surprising Philadelphia Phillies. Johnny proved to be a real "stopper” as he limited the Phillies to three measly singles in posting a 4-0 shutout victory. Although he admitted afterward, “My arm got stiff in the fourth inning and I couldn't snap off my curve ball," Podres struck out nine men in posting his fourth shutout of the campaign and his fifth victory against two defeats. Gil Hodges also had a big hand in the Dodgers’ victory, which moved the defending N.L. champs into a third place tie with Milwaukee, three games back of pacesetting Cincinnati. The husky first baseman • broke a scoreless tie with his sixth home run of the season in the fifth inning, tallied again in the seventh on Don Zimmer’s two- out single and scored the Dodgers’ final run in the ninth on a wild pitch by Philadelphia

reliever Jim Henrn. Cimoli Gets Homer Gino Cimoli tjlso homered for the Dodgers, who collected nine hits off loser Don Cardwell and Hearn. It was Cardwell's second setback against three victories. In Monday's only other major league game, Hank Foiles drove in two runs with a ‘ triple and a single to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-5 victory over the New York Giants. Eight of the Pirates' last nine games have been decided by one run. , i The Pirates scored their decisive t run in the fifth inning when John- ' ny O’Brien tripled and dashed t home on a squeeze bunt by win- ; ning pitcher Nelson King. Joe ■ Margoneri, the second of five New York pitchers, absorbed the loss. Patterson Defends Title On July 29 * l'" NEW YORK (UP) — “Somebody’s sure goin’ to get knocked out this time,” young Floyd Patterson said today as he resumed : training for his heavyweight title defense against Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson at the Polo Grounds July 29. And the wink that accompanied , his statement boded evil for challenger Tommy, who had lost a split 12-round decision to Patterson last June, before Floyd became champion. Twenty-two-year-old Floyd returned to his camp at Greenwood Lake, N. Y., today as Emil.Lence’s new promotional organization established temporary quarters on ' West 53rd St. and swung into action. ’N Promoter Lence gave the green light to his outfit Monday by announcing the July 29 date, and the assurance of $175,000 from the NBC ' network and General Motors, the sponsor. In addition* he predicted a gross gate of at least $600,000. The champion will get 40 per cent of all net receipts; Jackson, 20 per cent. The Patterson-Jackson fight will be televised and broadcast nationally to homes, although there will be a TV blackout on a 100-mile radius of the Polo Grounds. •_ Ronnie Knox Signs With Chicago Bears CHICAGO <UP) — Ronnie Knox, former UCLA quarterback who played for Hamilton in Canada's Big Four league last year, signed Monday with the Chicago Bears.
