— Braves Defeat Pirates, fake National Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Pres* Sports Writer Pitchers normally are supposed to be “out men”—guys who can t hit their weight at the plate—so Dick Donovan of the White Sox and Warren Spahn of the Braves rated some' kind of special salute today for batting as well as pitching their teams to first (dace. Donovan’s ninth - inning single gaye the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Senators and kept them tied for the American League lead with the Yankees, who defeated Kansas City, 54, Friday night And Spahn cracked opt the 18th bomer of his career ii addition to pitching a five-hitter against the Pirates in a.4-2 victory for the Braves that enabled them to take over the National League lead. Hal Jeffcoat of Cincinnati, a reformed outfielder, had the best night of all as far as hitting pitchers are concerned. He drove in three runs with a two-run homer and a double in a 7-1 victory over the Phillies. Jeffcoat burled a four - hitter while George Crowe contributed a three-run homer and Gus Bell homered With the bases empty to help boost the Redlegs to within a half-game of the top. The only run off Jeffcoat resulted from Harry Anderson's homer in the Ia other games, the Giants knocked the Cardinals out of first place by beating them, 4-1, while the game between the Dodgers and Cubs was rained out Baltimore tied an American League record with its fourth straight shutout as Ray Moore hurled a three-hitter in blanking Cleveland, 6-0, and Boston took over fourth place from Detroit by, beating the Tigers, 9-2. Donovan's game-winning single scored fleet Jim Landis from second base and sent Bud Byerly down to his third defeat Donovan Was credited with his eighth victory although Paul LaPalme and Dixie Howell relieved. Ancient Enos Slaughter came through with an eight-inning pinch single to score Hank Bauer with th* winning run in the Yankees triumph over the Athletics. Woody Held and Hector Lopez each homered for the A’s. Bob Grim registered his eighth win in relief. Spahn obtained quite a bit of hdn ia his victory over the Pirates when battery - mate Del Crandall connected for a threerun double off loser Bob Friend in the second inning. Spahn had a no-hitter until Roman Mejias singled in the sixth. Curt Barclay held the Cards to seven hits until the seventh, then weakened and had to be bailed out by veteran Marv Grissom. ■D»e Giants got to loser Larry Jackson for two runs in the first inning and then nicked him for their final two-runs in the fourth. MnAre's shutout over the Indians gave the p r i ol e s’ pitching staff a string of « consecutive innings- The four straight shutouts by the Baltimore staff tied the AL record held by 3 DAYS LEFT—RED TAG SALE!

Voting Change For AllSfar Game Likely " NEW YORK (UP)—A new system for picking All-Star players will be introduced next year and all signs point to a limiting of the fans’ voting power. The new system, in the process >■ of being worked out now, will carry the backing of baseball . Commissioner Ford C. Frick, who . made his dissatisfaction with the . present system obvious Friday ! when he readjusted the results of . the fans’ votes for this year’s AllStar Game. “Something had to be done,” k Frick said, when a last - minute deluge of 550,00 ballots from the Cincinnati area created a situation wherby eight Redleg players would have started against the American League All-Stars in St Louis, July 9. Three Redlegs Dropped So, after telephone conversations with National League President Warren Giles and American League President Will Harridge, Frick* ruled that only five Cincinnati players — the same number of Redlegs who started for the NL last year — would be in the opening lineup this year instead of eight Frick’s action, unprecedented in the 24-year history of the All-Star Game,* resulted in first baseman George Crowe, center flelder Gus Bell and right fielder Wally Post of the Redlegs being dropped from the starting lineup and quite possibly from the All-Star squad. Designated to start in their places were first baseman Stan Musial of the Cardinals,’ center fielder Willie Mays of the Giants and right fielder Hank Aaron of the Braves, each of whom finished runner-up at his position. Frick’s move was generally applauded in baseball circles. - The commissioner pointed out that the Tush of Cincinnati ballots just before Thursday’s midnight deadline had “resulted in a team which would not be typical of the National League and which would, not meet with the approval of fans the country over.” Honesty Unquestioned Frick stressed that his action was “no reflection on the sincerity or honesty of the Cincinnati poll," but he explained their 550,000 ballots weiwgreater than the total number of ballots cast -toy all other sections of the country for a similar period.” Without really meaning to, Frick actually named Ihe National League’s All-Star team. | The five Cincinnati players who will start are Johnny Temple at second base; Roy McMillan at shortstop; Don Hoak at third base; Frank Robinson in left field, and Ed Bailey will catch. Brooklyn manager Walt Alston, who will pilot the NL All-Stars, will choose the pitchers and the reserves. Little League Games Here This Evening A Little League double header will be played at Worthman field tonight, barring any further rain prior to actual game time. . The White Sox will play the Tigers at 6 o’clock this evening, followed by the Yankees, and Red Sox. Driver's License Ordered Suspended The Indiana state bureau of motor vehicles has announced the suspension of the driver’s license of James M. Spears, Decatur, from May 24 to Jan. 3, 1959, for driving while his license was suspiended.

Ray Robinson And Basilio To Fight NEW YORK (UP) - Odds-man Eddie Borden today tabbed Carmen Basilio the 13-10 favorite to beat Sugar Ray Robinson in temberRobinson. 36, will defend his middleweight title against welterweight ehampion Basilio, 30, in a 15-round bout at a New York ball park- Promoter Jim Norris said it would be either at the Polo Grounds, Sept. 16 or 11, or at Yankee Stadium, Sept 23 or 24. The exact site and date will be decided soon. Norris, who closed the match Friday, believes that the federal court will permit his staging the fight because it was in the process of negotiation before last Monday’s order by Judge Sylvester J. Ryan to break up the International Boxing Club monopoly. Norris finally granted Robinson his demand for 45 per cent of all net receipts from the gate, thea-tre-TV and movies, put to do that the promoter had ’to pare 5 per cent off the 25 for , which Basilio already had signedOnly Sugar Ray’s 160 - pound Crown will be at stake; -Carmen of Chittenango, N.Y., will not be risking his 147-pound titte. If Sugar Ray keeps the title in September, he may retire “undefeated” and become an actor, he said. If he loses, a return - bout contract grants him another shot at the crown in February, and he'll take the shot, with each getting SO per cent. Norris believes the September receipts from gate and theatre-TV will exceed 1 million dollars. Although he claimed he hadn’t decided definitely on home-TV or theatre-TV, it was learned authoritatively the show houses will have it. > k •' If you have something to sell of rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. it brings results.

TWO DISEASES ARE (C«Bttaae4 froat Paa* Om> spread by elm bark beetles. The dead or dying elms do not spread the disease themselves, but do provide a good place for bark beetles to breed. They should be removed as soon as possible after they afe found to be dying. ( ThOfeugh and timely sprays will prevent the disease by killing the insects which spread it. However,

poorly sprayed trees may still become Infected since the leafhoppers will find uncovered leaves to feed upon. The thoroughness and timeliness of the spray is essential. Results from spraying will not show until the next season, since trees dying this year were infected a year ago. z Elms must be sprayed at three different times: first, just before the leaves appear in the spring to kill the elm bark beetles; second, when the leaves are fully grown, between June 15 and 30' (this is before the leafhoppers are grown and flying); third, between August 1 and 15, when new leaves appear and must be protected. Additional information on elm trees or other tree diseases may be obtained through the county agent’s office, in the basement of the Decatur post office.
