Pierce Hurls Four-Hit Win Over Red Sox By FItED DOWN United Press Sportst Writer BiUy Pierce is back in the winning groove today’just in time to lead the Chicago White Sox' lastditch stand against the New York Yankees. The gritty little left hander, often a slow finisher, showed he still is in mid-season form Friday night when he fired a four-hitter that gave the White Sox a 4-1 triumph over the boston Red Sox. Pierce, who held Ted Williams hitless in four tries, thus moved the White Sox to within 5% games of the Yankees, who dropped a 10inning, 5-4 decision to the Cleveland Indians. The figures are still overwhelmingly against the White Sox’ chances of overtaking the Yanks, but the world champions have lost three out of four in the West and could be withtin striking range when they invade Chicago for a three-game series-Tuesday night. Dodgers Save Chances The Brooklyn Dodgers, meanwhile, just about saved their faint pennant hopes in the National league when they rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to top the Milwaukee Braves, 3-2. The Braves, however, retained their 6%-game hold cm first place when the Philadelphia Phillies scored a 3-2 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cincinnati Redlegs snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, in 16 innings. Pierce struck out six as he became the majors' first 17 - game winner of the year and yielded Boston’s run in the fourth inning when Jackie Jensen walloped his 18th homer. The 0-for-4 horsecollar cut Williams’ average to .382 but Mickey Mantle also went hitless and dropped to .373. Ex-Yankee Gene Woodling doubled for his fourth hit of the night and drove in Bobby Avila with the winning run for the Indians after the Yankees tied the score with a three-run rally in the ninth. Dick Tomanek received credit for the victory but it was Mike Garcia who struck out Mantle to end th* Yankees' ninth-inning rally. Bob Grim was the loser. Al Kaline and Charley Maxwell

hammered three - run homers to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 13-4 rout of the Washington Senators and Connie Johnson pitched a three-hitter as the Baltimore Orioles downed the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1. Gino Cimoli singled with two out in the ninth to climax Brooklyn’s rally. Don McMahon was the loser in relief of Gene Conley. Sandy Amoros’ double, a single by 'Charley Neal, a walk to Carl Furillo an® McMahon s throwing error set the stage for Cimoli. Hank Aaron drove in both Milwaukee runs with a homer and a triple. Repulski “Rips” Cards Harvey Haddix struck out seven and pitched a seven-hitter for his the Cardinals on Rip Repulski’s 10th win as the Phillies "ripped” tree runs batted in. Repulski sir gled home the Phillies' first run in the sixth and then delivered a two-run homer off Vinegar Bend Mizell in the eighth. Stan Musial’s 895 - game playing strdhk went by the boards. Joe Nuxhall came through with a four-hitter to beat the Pirates for the third time this year and enable the Redlegs to end the longest losing skein of the NL season. Nuxhall and Gus Bell led Cincinnati’s 13-hit attack with three hits each as Bob Purkey suffered hiS Uth defeat. Willie Mays scored from first base on Ray Jablonski s double to break up the Giants’ four - homeland 14-minute marathon with the Cubs. Bob Rush was the hero in defeat, striking out 10 in the 15 1-3 innings he worked and eaining the supreme compliment—a handshake from Giant manager Bill Rigney when it was all over. Jerry Tester Slated For Regular Position Jerry Tester, one of Adams county’s top basketball stars while playing with the Geneva Cardinals, is rated as a probable starter for next season at a guard post for the Pasadena College CrusadI ers . Tester, who will be a junior at the California school the next school year, played only during the second semester last season, but participated in 13 games and scored 81 points.

DECATUR’S LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPION

Rademacher Is Offered Bout In New York SEATTLE (UP) — Pete Rademacher, nursing his bruises, went fishing today. Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, carrying a slightly dented crown, was on a train en route to New York. And the offers of riches for both poured into local fight headquarters in the wake of their wild brawl here Thursday night, in which the champion got off the canvas in the second round to knock the challenger down seven times before winning in the sixth. But both the fighters and their advisers were mum about what what the future held. “We have nothing on tap for the immediate future,” said Cus D’Amato. manager of Patterson. “As usual we have many Offers. One of these is to fight Roy Harris in Texas.” “Another is to fight Zora Folley in Los Angeles; another to fight the European champion, Ingemar Johansson, in Chicago. But we will do a bit of resting, then investigating, before signing for another match.’’ Patterson has indicated he doesn’t care to fight again this year but in the same breath says he will do anything his manager says. He got $120,00 for defending his crown against Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson; and picked up another $25,00 for battling Rademacher here. “We make only about ten cents on the dollar on any money we collect pow,” D’Amato pointed out. The International Boxing Club wired Rademacher an offer of $20,00 or 30 per cent of the gate receipts to meet one of four top heavyweight challengers in New York. These men are Alex Miteff, Eddie Machen, San Francisco; Zora Folley. Phoenix, Ariz., and Willie Pastrano, New Orleans. “I’m flattered by the offer,” said Rademacher, “but I haven't made up my mind what I’ll do in the future. I’m going to think it over while I go fishing.” Trane in a good town — Decatur

Stan's Consecutive Game Record Broken PHILADELPHIA (UP) Stan Musial looked back without regret today at the snapping of his National League record for consecutive games but looked ahead to rejoining the St. Louis Cardinals for their chase of the leagu-load-ing Milwaukee Braves. “Maybe I’ll be back in four or five days," Musial said. “I hope so, but I guess I have to take it easy.” Musial, who chipped a bone and tore a muscle in his left shoulder Thursday night against Philadelphia, was out of uniform for the first time in six seasons Friday night as the Cards bowed to the Phils, 3-2. The consecutive game streak of Musial is broken now, but the actual number played in succession won’t be decided until next week. The Man played 8662 in a row before he sat out the second game of a double-header at Pittsburgh on July 21. The game was suspended by the Pennsylvania Sunday curfew law and if he makes only a token appearance next Tuesday when the game is resumed his record will jump to 895 games. 200 Adult Quail Are Released In County More than 200 adult quail were released Friday by eight Adams county conservation clubs. Jack Hurst, district game conservationist, said this afternoon. The birds were received at the court house at noon, and given out to representatives of the Decatur conservation club, the St. Mary’sBlue Creek conservation club, Inc., the Adams county coon hunters conservation club, the Berne conservation club, the Union township conservation club, the country conservation club, the Magley conservation club, and the Limberlost conservation club. Birds will be released immediately on farms near each club area. To Present Rodeo At Van Wert County Fair Cowboys and cowgirls will take over in front of the grandstand at the Van Wert county fair, Van Wert, Ohio, starting Wednesday, September 4, and continuing through Friday, September 6, when the Bar M Rodeo is presented. Bristling with action, the events will run the full range of the tradional rodeo. All types of riding and roping will be brought into full play as the cowgirls and cowboys seek to master the wild stock. Such stirring events as bull-dog-ging, with all its hazards, and its demand for quick action, a powerful physique and thorough knowledge of the tricks of unbroken animals, will be offered.
