Week's Schedule For Pony League And Little League row* league Friday—Cardinals at Geneva. LITTLE LEAGUE Friday—Tigers vs Indians; Yankees v» Senators. Saturday — Red Sox vs White Sox; Indians vs Yankees. White Sox, Yanks Open Crucial Set By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) — The world champion New York Yankees, riding the crest of a seven-game winning streak that is their longest of the season, were brimming with confidence as they awaited the start of a four-game series tonight with the Chicago White Sox. Johnny Kucks (3-6), who won the seventh game of the 1956 World Series, is slated to pitch for the Yankees against Jim Wilson (7-3> of tiie Sox. The White Sox bring a 1 Vis game j league lead into the weekend war,' and Yankee Manager Casey Stengel admitted that "this is our biggest series so far this season.” 1 The Yankees obviously believe they are ready to reclaim the j league load • by winning three of the four games. Stengel, still glowing from Bob Turley’s strong 3-1 six-hitter over the Detroit Tigers Thursday, .pointed out that “my pitching is straightened out now.” "Turley pitchin’ this complete game kept my relief men in the bullpen all day again,” Stengel explained. "Now I’ve got all of ’em ready—that is, they’re supposed to be ready.” Yankee pitching, as scrambled as a five-egg omelet just a* couple of weeks ago, really has fallen into place since the New Yorkers’ winning streak started on June 13. Five of the seven wins have been complete-game jobs; in the other two the starting pitcher went eight innings. A Stengel was particularly delighted that the seven-game streak included the last three straight over those pesky Detroit Tigers, the Yankees’ most troublesome rivals in the last two years. The Tigers were the only team in the league to beat the Yankees on ih«-saaad*last year,.l2 games to 10. and tms jrfcar' started 1 by whipping the world champions six times in the first eight games. “But now the series between us is only 5-6,” 'Stengel exulted "That’s a lot better.” The Yankees, trying to forget early-season losses, fist-fights on the field, and night club rhubarbs, i figure things will be much better j from now on. Minor Leagues Show Attendance Increase COLUMBUS. Ohio (UP) — Minor League President George Trautman revealed Thursday that minor league baseball has had an increase of 101,957 paid admissions over the same period one year ago.

Dickson beat the Dodgers in the pennant - clinching playoff game while Musial hit a mere .365 back in 1?16 when the Cardinals last won a pennant.

Farmers Os State Vote For Quotas Farmer Union Head Urges Benson Quit INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Nearly three out of every lour Indiana wheat growers who voted in a marketing quota referendum Thursday cast their baUots in favor of quotas on next year's crop. Indiana Agricultural Stabilization Committee spokesmen said the vote was 3,986 for and 1,469 against, with 289 baUots challenged. That was 73.1 per cent of those voting who favored the quotas. Only about one of every six ?li<?ible growers cast baUots, however. The ASC said if aU eligible had voted, 35,027 baUots would have been cast, instead of 5,734. John C. Raber. president of the Indiana Farmers Union, said the vote “certainly points out how far agriculture economists are out of tune when they advocate free markets and unrestricted production ” "By this vote,” Raber said, “farmers have repudiated Secretary of Agriculture Benson and I, as their leader, demand that President Eisenhower replace the entire staff of the Department of Agriculture with people who understand farming and farmers."

No disturbance took place in the residential areas, he added.
