Reed and Doan were both walked, forcing in Crist with the run. The Oilers tied the score in the second. Padnoude opened with a single and Hemminger walked. Both runners moved up on Womack’s, sacrifice bunt. Mumma then fanned but Ortlibe and Berry walked, forcing in the Oilers' pnly run in the game. Wade Fredricks, Decatur hurler, won his own game in the fourth. Doan opened with a walk. Reynolds laid down a bunt and both runners were safe on Bill Ortlieb’s error, the only miscue of the game. Knape bunted the runners along, and Fredricks then singled for two runs and the ball game. The Oilers threatened in both the fourth and fifth innings but fine defensive play stopped them cold. Hemminger and Womack opened the fourth with singles but both were retired on an attempted double steal, Knape to Doan to Knape. In the fifth, the Oilers had two hits but Vance was cut down at the plate by Bowen’s throw after Underwood singled. Fredricks retired the last 10 batters in a row to preserve the victory.

Says Pro Football Making Good Case WASHINGTON (UP)-Chairman Emanuel Celler of a House antitrust subcommittee said today professional football is making a very elective case for some exemption for anti-trust laws. The New York Democrat told a reporter witnesses who testified for pro football the past two days have presented a better case than did organized baseball in three weeks of earlier hearings by the Celler subcommittee. Celler said football’s witnesses, led by National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell, have been more frank a d candid toathose who testified for baseball. “Bassball took a t iou attitude and said ‘You can’t i. uch us,’ ’’ Celler said. He said he can’t comment on what type of sports hgislatioi he eventually will favor uptil all the testimony has been heard. But he said at least the business aspects of professional team sports must be regulated under anti-trust laws. Bell and other pro football witnesses appeared this week to appeal for legislation exempting essential features of their game from anti - trust regulation. The football hearings will resume next Five football stars Thursday defended the draft system used by pro ball to divide the pool of new talent graduating from the nation’s colleges each year.? George Connor, former lineman for Notre Dame and the Chicago Bears and now a Bear coach, said the system is necessary to equalize the teams. The teams ranking" lowest in the standings get first choice in the draft.

Five National League Teams Vie For Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Get out that shoe horn again because five clubs are all trying to squeeze into first place today. The Cardinals moved within a half-game of first place by beating Brooklyn. 3-2, Thursday night, and the Redlegs closed to within a game of the lead with a 9-1 victory over Pittsburgh. Only one game separates the first four clubs — Milwaukee, St. Louis, Brooklyn and Cincinnati—with fifth - place Philadelphia climbing to within only 24 gamqs of the top as a result of a 5-3 decision over the Braves. The Cards threw a monkey wrench in Brooklyn’s plans to take over the league lead when they beat Don Newcombe Thursday night for the first time in seven years at St. Louis. Newcombe and Herm Wehmeler were tied at 2-2 until the Cards cracked through for the winning run in the eighth on singles by Alvin Dark and Stan Musial and Wally Moon’s sacrifice fly. Fowler Checks Bucs Art Fowler of Cincinnati went the distance for the first time this year in checking the Pirates on seven hits. In addition, he drove in the Redlegs’ first two runs with a bases - loaded single off Ronnie Kline, who lost his sixth straight game and 14th of the campaign. Ed Bailey and Gus Bell each homered Robin Roberts of the Phillies scored his first victory since June 6 in beating the Braves although Dick Farrell had to be called in to get the final out. Roberts gave up nine hits, including Hank Aaron’s 30th homer in the fourth inning to post his seventh victory against 13 defeats. Ed Bouchee (Gove in three of Philadelphia's runs as Warren Spahn suffered the loss. Mike McCormick, 18-year-old bonus southpaw, won his first major league game in pitching the Giants to a 5-2 triumph over the Cubs, but he needed ninth-inning relief from Marv Grissom. McCormick struck out seven and gave up all six Chicago hits. Daryl Spencer homered for the Giants. In the American League, the White Sox shaved the Yankees’ lead to 34 games with a 6-2 triumph over the world champions; Boston defeated Kansas City, 5-3; Washington edged Cleveland, 3-2 in 10 innings, and Baltimore blanked Detroit, 3-0. Dick Donovan was the whole show in the White Sox victory, holding the Yankees to four hits and contributing a seventh-inning homer. Lefty Bobby Shantz failed in his fifth try for his 10th vicThe triumph for Donovan was his 10th and it followed a onehit shutout over the Red Sox last Saturday. Bosex Clinch Early Bob Porterfield, making only his fourth start of the year, held the Athletics to six hits, including a homer by Lou Skizas, as the Red Sox beat Kansas City for the 14th time in 18 games this season.
