Week's Schedule For Pony League And Little League PONT LEAGUE Thursday—Geneva at Berne. Friday—Cardinals at Geneva. LITTLE LEAGUE Friday—Tigers vs Indians; Yankees vs Senators. Saturday — Red Sox vs White Sox; Indians vs Yankees. Hoak's Homer Ends Redlegs Losing Streak By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The Brooklyn Dodgers can’t figure Don Hoak. They gave him his first chance in the big leagues, cut him in for a full World Series share in 1955 when he was with them and did everything they could to make him happy. And now, look at the thanks they’re getting. He blasted a two- run homer Wednesday night that beat the Dodgers, 4-3, and snapped a fourgame Cincinnati losing streak. Only 11 days ago, Hoak belted a two-run homer off Don Drysdale to defeat the Dodgers, 3-1, in the opener of a double-header and then he clouted another home run off Ed Roebuck to help the Redlegs take the nightcap, 3-0. On May 8 he came up with a three-run circuit blow off Don Newcombe to give Cincinnati a 7-8 triumph The Dodgers are hoping he gets lost somewhere. Hoak’s homer Wednesday night came in the seventh inning on the heels of a pinch two-run homer by Bob Thurman. That four - run rally spelled the seventh victory of the season for Tom Acker. Clem Labine was the loser. Cards Sweep Two The St. Louis Cardinals climbed to within a half-game of the pacesetting Braves by sweeping a' twi - night double - header from Pittsburgh, 5-2 and 5-1, while Milwaukee blanked the Giants. 6-0, and the Cubs beat ’ the Phillies twice, 9-0 and 4-3. In the American League, the White Sox stayed 2Mi games in front with a 3-1 decision over the Orioles; the*’Yankees crushed the Tigers, 10-2; Kansas City clipped Washington. 6-3. and Boston beat Cleveland, 6-0. Sam Jones and Lindy McDaniel registered the Cardinals’ pair of victories over the Pirates. Jones struck out 10 and pitched a sevenhitter in the, opener which was decided in the seventh inning when Joe Cunningham’s pinch two-run homer highlighted a threerun rally that snapped a 2-2 tie. The Cards got to Bob Purkey for three runs in the first inning of the nightcap and Stan Musial contributed his 15th homer. Wes Covington, recently recalled from Wichita, slammed a three-run homer and Hank Aaron hit his 19th with the bases empty as Bob Buhlof the Braves handcuffed the Giants on four hits. Ruben Gomez was the loser. Rookie Dick Drott of the Cubs held the Phils to three hits in the opener to hotch his sixth victory with the aid of homers by Ernie Banks and Chuck Tanner Walt Moryn smashed two homers in the nightcap, driving in three of the Cubs’ four runs. Moe Drabowsky was the winner with help

Braves Lose To Monmouth In Pony Loop Monmouth defeated the Decatur Braves, 7-4, in an Adams county Pony League game Wednesday evening. The Braves took a 2-0 lead with single runs in the first and second innings, but Monmouth bunched three of their four hits with two walks, a hit batsman and two errors for five big runs'in the fourth inning. The winners added two more in the sixth on .one hit, a fielder’s choice, infield out and an error. The Braves scored once in the fifth and added their final run in the sixth on Cancino's home run.

Wildness Costs Orioles, The White Sox took advantage of Art Ceccarelli’s wildness to score two runs in the second inning, all they needed, on a pair of walks and run - producing singles by Jim Rivera and Bubba Phillips. Bob Keegan, making his first start since May 31, was the winner although Jack Harshman mopped up. Gil McDougald and Yogi Berra each hit homers in the Yankees’ 15-hit attack against the Tigers. The Yanks clicked off their sixth straight victory behind. Join Sturdivant’s eight-hit pitching and at the expense of Duke MaaL Frank House also homered.

Reliever Virgil Trucks drove in the tie-breaking tun with a Single and Billy Martin then followed with his second homer for the A’s since coming from the Yankees last Saturday. Jim Lemon and Hal Smith also homered.

Oppose Limit On Baseball's Reserve Clause WASHINGTON (UP)-Rep. Torbert MacDonald (D - Mass.),who once played in m. New York Yankee farm system, called today for a four-year limit oh organized baseball’s key reserve clause. But Minor League President George M. Trautman, echoing the views of baseball Commissioner Ford C Frick, said any such limit would have a ’’disastrous effect” on the national pastime. Frick, Trautman and MacDonald were among the witnesses scheduled to testify before a House judiciary subcommittee hearing on professional sports legislation. Frick testified for two hours Wednesday, urging that Congress take no action to jeopardize baseball’s present immunity from an-ti-trust laws. He was to be the leadoff witness today. MacDonald, who captained the Harvard football team In 1940 and later played in the New York Yankee baseball chain, called in his prepared testimony tor a modification of the reserve clause. Under this’ clause, a baseball player becomes the “property” of the team he first signs with. He can’t switch to another dub unless he is sold or traded. MacDonald proposed that if after four years, a major league teain hasn’t found a place on its roster for the player, he would become a free agent and could negotiate with any other major league club. Frick testified Wednesday against tampering with the reserve clause, but he made one apparent cone essi on. He announced he has recommended a rule change to meet criticism that talented players sometimes are kept in the minors too tong. If this new rule is adopted, any player who is kept in the minors for four seasons would become subject to unrestricted draft by any major league team.

Indiana Stars Play Kentucky Saturday Night INDIANAPOLIS (UP); — Indiana's high school basketball "AU Stars’* headed for LouisvUle today and coach Angus Nicoson implied he expects more trouble from Kentucky than last year. The Hoosiers, winners 15 times in the 17 previous mid-summer hard-wood classics, have had only a few days to work themselves into razor-sharpness. Some, Uke Elkhart’s Ted Luckenbill, weren’t in top physical condition. Luckenbill had a sore throat recently, but has shown rapid recovery. Tuesday night's hour-long scrimmage was a vast improvement over previous driUs, said Nicoson. "We looked like we were in pretty good shape, physically," said- the Indiana Central College roach who masterminds the Stars r r the sixth straight year.

lore Saturday night's ggme. The return contest will be played at Butter Fieldhouse here June 29. Nicoson, who has tost only once against Kentucky (at LouisvUle two years ago in overtime, 86-82), said this year's Hoosier club is "weaker in a lot of respects" than last year’s which trounced the boys from the Blue Grass twice"We don't have the playmaker we had last year and we don't have his outside shooting,” he said.- He referred, of course, to the briUiant Oscar Robertson who poured in 75 points in the two games. Indiana also doesn’t possess the speed it had last year, but there are bright aspects, too. “We have more balance and more size in some spots," he said, "and the boys have adjusted themselves weU and quickly.” For example, the squad includes six centers, but only Bob Perigo of Lafayette, Ronnie Horn of Mississinewa, and LuckenbiU will play the pivot. John Coalmon of South Bend Central's state champs, the No. 1 player, was shifted to forward. So was Howard Dardeen of Terre Haute Gerstmeyer. Phil WiUs of Grass Creek, a sensation during the regular season with a 41.4 average, was also shifted to forward. Stresses Team Play ■ Perigo #iU jump center for the Hoosiers to start the games. Albert Maxey of IndianapoUs Attucks and sharp Herbie Lee of South Bend Central will be at guard.

“The main thing we want to do now Is concentrate on team play,” said Nicoson “Our rebounding has been pretty fair, but some time, we shoot a bit too quick." What about Kentucky? Nicoson predicted they’ll be in better physical ’condition than ever before because most of them have already played in 3-4 AllStar games. Besides, he said, they seem to have "more enthusiasm" for the games than in the past. But the Hoosier coach wasn’t worried about his charges. "These boys have fine personalities. They all appreciate the fact they were selected. They feel they’re got a job to do—and I'm sure they’ll do it.” Podres' Trouble Is Pulled Tendon BROOKLYN <W — Johnny Podres’ arm trouble was diagnosed today as a tendon pull near his elbow, but the Brooklyn Dodgers’ southpaw was told that no surgery will be necessary. Podres, who flew here frrgn Cincinnati two days ago when X-rays showed an inflammation in his left arm, will remain in Brooklyn for heat treatments.
