I Daniels Hurls I One-Hitter To I Beat Bluffton H Brilliant one-hit pitching by I Larry Daniels and a pair of long- | distance clouts carried the DecaI tur Yellow Jackets to a 2-0 shutI out of the Bluffton Tigers in a I Northeastern Indiana conference I game Thursday afternoon at I Worthman field. Daniels limited the Tigers to a I fifth-inning single by Bierie, but I the Bluffton outfielder was I promptly erased in a double play. H He was the only Tiger to reach I base as the Decatur hurler faced I only 21 batters in the seven in- ■ nings. Daniels had excellent conI trol. He did not issue a pass and I was given perfect support by his I teammates. Larry Moses gave Daniels the , J only run he needed when the | Jackets’ all-round athlete Opened I the fourth inning with a home I run. Decatur added an insurance fl run in the fifth when Jim ReidenI bach lasted out a triple and then I scored on the only error of the ball game. The Yellow Jackets have two more games on the schedule, both NpIC contests. The Fort Wayne r Concordia Cadets will meet the Jackets under the lights at Worthman field Monday night at 7:30 o’clock, and the Jackets ■ close their season at Kendallville next Wednesday afternoon. —..>■ ■ ; W Bluffton AB R H E Lenord. ss 3 0 0 0 Cupp, cf 3 0 0 0 Murray, p 3 0 0 0 Bowman, If ™.... 2 0 0 0 Bierie, rs 2 0 10 Beaty, 3b 2 0 0 0 Durr. 2b 2 0 0 0 MilhoUand, lb 5.... 2 0 0 1 Frauhiger, c 2 0 0 0 , TOTALS 21 0 11 Yellow Jackets AB R H E Reidenbach, ss .... 3 110 Moses, 2b 3 110 Gay, 3b 2 0 0 0 Shraluka, c 3 0 10 Ballard, rs 3 0 10 Holtsberry, lb 3 0 10 May, cf 3 0 0 0 Canales, If 2 0 0 0 Daniels, p 2 0 0 0 TOTALS -M 2 -5 0 Score by innings: '• Blufton 000 000 o—o Yellow Jackets .... 000 110 x—2 Ray Boone Out Os Action Indefinitely DETROIT — (IP) — First baseman Ray Boone of the Detroit Tigers will be out of action for an indefinite period.

Preakness A Re-Run Os Kentucky Derby BALTIMORE. Md. (UP) - Twelve horses, the largest Preakness field in 30 years, are expected to be entered today for Saturday’s running of the Triple Crown classic that shapes up as a rer run of the Kentucky Derby, u Unconvinced that the Derby, . run over a slippery muddy track, . was a true test, the trainers of t seven other starters from.Church- > ill Downs were ready to give their i charges another shot at Calumet Farm’s winner, Tim Tam. i .In addition four other threet year-olds who passed up the Rose . Run complete the roster for the 82nd runnng of the Preakness ! stakes. I Back for another crack at Tim Tam will be Derby starters Lincoln Road (2nd); Noureddin Ord); Jewel's Reward (4th); Martins Rullah (sth); Chance It Tony (6th>; Gone Fishin' (8th); , and Silky Sullivan (12th>. Joining them will be Talent ' Show, Plion, Michore and Liberty ' Ruler, whp will run coupled with Jewel's Reward as the Maine Chance Farm entry. Tim Tam remains the solid 7 to 5 favorite- Ismael Valenzuela, who won the Derby Trial and Derby with Tim Tam after re--1 placing injured Bill Hartack as the colt’s jockey, once again will be in the saddle. The Preakness will be decided over an entirely different type race track than was the Derby. The turns are sharper at Pimlico and the soft cushion is much deeper than at Churchill Downs. Some trainers appeared a little anxious about the loose top soil 1 and while every one of them | wanted a fast race track, they i would welcome a little shower to i settle the track. „ I —. —— ; Klenk's Exhibition Game Here Sunday r - - - . - —■ Klenk's independent baseball team will play its first game of the season Sunday afternoon, meeting Tony and Jim's Cantina of Fort Wayne.

Garver Hurls Fourth Victory For Athletics By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Kansas City and Cincinnati . haven’t had much to cheer about so far this spring but they certainly boast the season’s healtfai-est-looking “drippies” , in Ned Garver and George Crowe. Both were huge question-marks this spring. Garver, hobbled by a lame arm, had won a total of six games over the last two , years And Crowe, groomed to replace Ted Kluszewski at first base, had a knee ailment that threatened to sideline him at the start of But today the 32-year-old Garver has a 4-1 record for the Athletics while Crowe has 21 runs batted in and a .367 batting average for the Redlegs. Garver notched his fourth victory and second shutout Thursday < when the Athletics scored a 3-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The loss left the White Sox in the League cellar, 7% games behind the front-run-ning New York Yankees. Pirates’ Streak Snapped Crowe, who has been alternating with Steve Bilko at first, knocked in five runs with his third homer and two singles as the Redlegs snapped the Pittsburgh Pirates’ six-game winning streak, 9-4. His .367 batting average is the third highest in the league. The Cleveland Indians whipped the Detroit Tigers, 8-5, in the only other AL game while the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2, and the Los Angeles Dodgers scored a 4-2, 11inning decision over the Chicago Cubs in other NL activity. First-baseman Vic Power provided Garver with the runs he needed when he hit a three-run homer off Jim Wilson in the sixth inning. The blow came with two out after singles by Mike Baxes and Hector- Lopez and dealt Wilson his second defeat Garver spaced out seven singles and never was in serious trouble in going the route for the third time. Crowe singled home a run in the first inning, homered with one on in the eighth and singled two more tallies across in the nnth as the Redlegs ended a five-game losing streak. Bob Friend was tagged for seven Cincinnati runs and suffered his second loss. Johnny Klippstein, who pitched the middle 3 2-3 innings, was the winner. - J x Never Trailed Roger Maris knocked in three runs with a homer and a double for the Indians, who. never trailed despite Detroit homers by Gail Harris. Lou Sleater and Frank Bolling. Maris knocked runs during the three-game series with the Tigers and has hit six of his seven homers off Detroit pitching. Don Mossi picked up his second decision in as many days.' Mike McCormick, ’ 19-year old $60,000 bonus lefty, .went 8 2-3 innings for his third win of the season -as the Giants’ snapped the Cardinals' seven-game winning skein. McCormick ngpded Jielp with two. out in the ninth and Jim Constable struck’ out Don Blasingame to preserve the win. Willie Mays hit his ninth homer for the Giants, who trail the first-place Milwaukee Braves by 24 percentage points. The Dodgers capitaliz.ed on slow fielding by Cub infielders to score two llth-inning runs although they hit only one ball out of the infield. Clem -Labine,maklOß his _ first start since the 1956 World Series, pitched 10 innings for his first victory and Hershell Freeman took the loss The victory snapped the Dodgers six-game losing streak while the defeat was the Cubs’ eighth in nine games. Baltimore at New York in the AL and Milwaukee at Philadelphia in the NL were rained out.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK <UP) — Ageless Satchel Paige, although crowding 52, still is pitching for Miami in the International League but a survey indicates today that the minors no longer provide an easy ‘ retirement” , for the washed up major league star. The principal reason is that there now are only 24 minor leagues, about half as many as in the pre-TV era, with a resultant scarcity of jobs. Another is the flood of good young players produced by colleges and various junior development programs. Thus the struggling minors, with a high percentage of players being groomed for parent clubs, would rather have “comers” of possible sales value than “goners” with little to offer but a dimming box office name. But the lure is strong and those oh the way out keep tryingA couple of dozen of the old heroes are still giving it a competitive try far from the bit top. Paige’s teammates include Bubba Church and Mickey Grasso. s Others Hopeful Others in the International League, still hopeful of a shot in the big time, include Bualo's Steve -Nagy,’ Ray Noble and big Luke Easter: Havana’s Sandy Consuegra; little Sandy Amoros al Montreal;: Bob Kuzava, a onetime World Scries hero with the Yankees, at Rochester, and Ebba St. Claire and Sam Jethroe at Toronto. Eddie Basinski, once with the Dodgers, goes at it still in Seattle; Spider Jorgensen at Vancouver, Max Surkont at Phoenix, -Larry Jans-en at Portland, Sam Mele at Indianapolis and hard luck Art Houtteman, kept by the fates from fulfilling his promise, at Charleston. Yet there is another way back — as a manager — and training themselves in the minors for some future possible shot arc a horde of the old time stars. Triple-A ball is Joaded with ”the“m. Pulling the strings in thy International League are Phil Cavarretta at Buffalo, Kerby Farrell at Miami, Ed Lopat at Richmond nd Dixie Walker at Toron? to. The American Association has Walker -Cooper—who with brother Mort went to the World Scries top 15 years ago—at Indianapolis and Max Macon at St. Paul. And in the Pacific Coast League. ! Sibby Steti direete Saerarnento,- -George Metkovich maneuvers San Diego and Connie Ryan handles Scatte. Double-A, In DoUble-A ball, the Texas League has Peanuts Lowery at Austin, Dixie Walker at Houston and Grady Hatton at San Antonio while in the Southern Association Dick Sisler handles Nashville and Charley Silvera is at New Orleans Johnny Pesky runs Lancaster and big Clyde McCullough has Reading in the Eastern League with Pete Reiser at Green Bay and Pete Suder at Appleton in the Three-Eye League. Bruce Edwards, the big man at Brooklyn before Roy Campanella, manages Visalia in the Calfornia League and Schoolboy Rowe is still at it with Montgomery of the AlabamaFlorida League. That last one is Class D—the bottom of the organized baseball ladder—but the Schoolboy has a lot of company. Johnny (No Hit) Vander Meer runs Palatka in the Florida State League; Stubby Overmire manages Valdosta of the Georgia-Florida League; Randy Gumpert directs Kearney of the Hebraska State Leggue and Steve Gromek manages Erie of the New Hork-Pennsylvania League. And, just to prove they never get it out of their blood, Gromek went in the other day and caught a game. -.-- ■ - -* If you have something to sell oi rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad— they bring results.

Drivers Poised For Opening Os Qualifications INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—At least half a dozen of the nation's most daring drivers were poisfed today to shatter the qualification records for the 500-mile Memorial Day speedway auto race. The 33-car field for the 42nd annual “500,” with a jackpot of more than $300,000 at stake, will be weeded out in two weekends of time trials, beginning Saturday at 11 a.m. c.d.t. The long-range weather forecast indicated conditions might be “just right” for record-breaking runs at the “brickyard.” At least, most seasoned observers predicted the records by the 1956 pole-sitter and race winner. Pat Flaherty, of 146 056 and 145.596 miles an hour for one and four laps,’ respectively, will go by the boards barring adverse weather conditions. The pole spot on race day—the inside position in the front row—goes to the fastest first - day driver-car combination. Railbirds fig u r e d that Pat O Connor, last year’s pole-sitter; national driving champion Jimmy Bryan, former race winner Troy Ruttman, lead-footed Ed Elisian, Jimmy Reece and burly Paul Russo have the best chance to lead the pack through the pace lap on race day. O’Connor, of North Vernon, Ind. averaged nearly 144 mph last year to grab the pole. "I’ll try to keep it.’’ he said, 1 "but a lot of guys will be shooting for it.” Several promising rookies, among them George Amick, Len Sutton and Jerry Unser, may also attempt to qualify on the initial weekend, but Argentine ace Juan Manuel Fangio will be conspicuous by his absence. The five-time world driving champion, saying he• had “everything to lose and noth-; ing to gain,” relinquished his seat in a car owned by George Walther Jr., Dayton, Ohio, and announced he would not compete. We often find those who should learn teaching, and those who should practice preaching.
