Jackets Beat Concordia In Last Home Tilt Hie Decatur Yellow Jackets wound up their home season Monday night with another Northeastern Indiana conference victory, defeating the Fort Wayne Concordia Cadets, 7-5, at Worthman field. The Jackets will close the 1958 season Wednesday afternoon, meeting the Kendallville Comets at Kendallville in an NEIC contest. Decatur took an early 4-1 lead and after Concordia moved into a 4-4 tie in the fifth, the Jackets rallied for three runs in the sixth to cement the victory. Decatur scored in the first inning when Moses reached fispt base on a passed ball after fanning, stole second and third, and scored on single. Ballard opened the second with a single, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on a ,>wild pitch. After Concordia scored once in the third on a hit, passed ball and wild pitch, Decatur scored twice on hits by Moses and Ballard, and two walks. The Cadets scored one in the fourth and tied it in the fifth on three hits and a balk. Daniels launched Decatur's winning rally in the sixth with a double. Canales was hit by a pitched ball and Reidenbach walked to load the bases. Moses singled for one run, another was forced in when Gay was hit by a pitched ball, and Shraluka drove in the final run with a single. Two doubles scored Concordia's final run in the seventh.

The charge, was fired by C. Leo Deorsey, outspoken member of the Senators’ board of directors and counsel for the Griffith family which controls the club. Deorsey asserted that Frick "would be better advised if he kept his mouth shut in reference to matters about which he simply knows nothing and which do not concern his office.” He aimed his criticism at a statement attributed to Frick in an interview published by a Canadian newspaper (the Montreal Star weekly magazine). Not "Up to Standard” The newspaper, in a story titled “What's Happening to Baseball," quoted Frick as saving of the Washington club: “Griffith Stadium, like Ebbets Field, is no longer up to big league standards. ' Congress, which administers the District of Columbia, has been talking about building a new stadium for the Senators, but I do not believe the money will be ap- , defense expenditurs and dmands 1 for tax revision. ‘ Mantime, an internal struggle ’ is taking place for control of the 1 club- Minority stockholders de- t mand that money be raised to obtain players who will end the *• Senators' long stay in the second " division. President Cal Griffith de- 1 fends his present policy as the 11 only one possible under the circumstances. If the minority wins, s the Senators are likely to move. Otherwise, they will remain in 1 Washington." • ' Griffith was not available for comment. , ' Deorsey said that "insofar as ‘ the Washington smmtion is con- 1 cerned, ( lt is obvious to me that (FrickTj does not know what he 1 Is talking about, and when he finds himself in that position he ’ should shut up! y- I] Hard Enough “As to the Stadium," he said, ] “it’s hard enough to get congres- < sional action on a municipal stadium without having the ‘head' ( of baseball make a suggestion that he does not think the money ; will be appropriated in a time of and demands for tax revision.” ] Dorsey dismissed Frick’s state- ( increased defense expenditures ment about "an internal struggle" ] for control of the club, saying “The facts are that the Griffiths ) own outright more than 50 per cent of the stock and that is con- < trol; they need no further help to obtain what they already have.”

Haney Apologizes To Loop President ' CINCINNATI (UP) — Fred Haney, manager of the world champion Milwaukee Braves, has apologized to National League President Warren Giles for a remark he made Sunday reflecting , on Giles’ alleged lack of courage ' in controlling the throwing of . "dusters.” Haney, angered by the injury of two of his players Saturday night, said in a radio interview Sunday, “There is no place for this sort of thing (dusters) in baseball. If the president of the National League hasn’t got guts enough because it’s in Cincinnati to do something, then something ought to be done to the president of the league.” Haney admitted to Giles Monday that he said this and told him, “I’m sorry for that part about not doing something because it’s in Cincinnati. I know that you don’t favor any team over another and you know that I know it. I regret that part of my statement but everything else goes.” Haney, also said a Sunday meeting with Giles, the umpires and Cincinnati Manager Birdie Tebbetts was “meaningless, because nothing was said that wasn't already in the rule book.” He stood behind this statement, adding, “it's a tough situation. But I have no solution.” x Seven Season Bests Set In Regional; INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—lndiana’s high school track and field stars headed into the final week of regular season warfare today with seven new seasons, bests in th books, but one of the state's top performers won’t be in Saturday’s state finals. . Jerry Golem of Hammond Tech, ineligble for the “state” because his school officials failed to submit their entry on time, raced the 440 in :49.2 in a triangular meet last week—nine-tenth of a second faster than the best of Terre Haute Gerstmeyer’s Art DeBow, the defending state champ. Golem’s dazzling dash in a meet against West NIHSC rivals Gary Emerson and Whiting and Tom Seifert’s shotput toss of more than 59 feet for Fort Wayne North were the best individual performances of the regional week. Outstanding, too, was Gary Roosevelt’s 3:28.2 in the mile reOther season “bests” were' cracked in the 220, 880, mile and pole vault. , Golem can gain a measure of “revenge” in the NIHSC-North ( Central Conference carnival at Ko- , komo May 27 when the cream of , the two loops tangle in their an- t nual post-season affair. Meanwhile, here are the latest season bests: j 100-yard dash — ‘Herman Knox, Terre Haute Gerstmeyer; Terry White, Hobart, :09.8. . 220-yard dash—John Kelso, Fort , Wayne Central, :22.0. 440-yard dash — Jerry Golem, Hammond Tech, :49.2. 880-yard run—Larry Hawk, Columbus, 1:58.4.

Rzesewski became the first Hoosier to make the NAIA hall of Fame for his play at Indiana State Teachers College. He will replace Bob Biddle, who resigned last month to take the head coaching job at Peru.

Braves Defeat , Cincinnati Io 1 / : Regain Lead r I By MILTON RICHMAN f United Press Sports Writer Milwaukee picked on its favor- . ite “patsies"—the Cincinnati Red--1 legs—to recapture the National ’ League lead and even added a bit ■ of indignity by beating them on ‘ a foul ball. f The 4-3 victory in 12 innings ■ over the Rediegs Monday night ■ gave the Braves their sixth tri- , umph in eight starts against Cin- ■ cinnati so far, and although that’s still a long way from the 18 out . of 22 they won last season, Fred Haney’s crew feels it will do for • a start. i Before the campaign started, > manager Birdie Tebbetts said his I Rediegs were bound to win more t than four games from the Braves . this year. Maybe so, but they had better moving soon. Hank Aaron’s foul ball settled ’ matters Monday night. 1 Turk Lown, Cincinnati’s fourth ■ pjtcher, set the stage for Mil- ‘ waukee’s winning run in the 12th ■ when he yielded a single to Red Schoendienst. Johnny Ldgan fol- , lowed with a double, moving t Schoendienst to third, then Fran Torre was purposely walked, filling the bases. Schoendienst Beats Relay Tom Acker took over for Lown and Aaron stroked a looping foul toward the left field bullpen. Shortstop Eddie Miksis, recently signed as a free agent after being released by Baltimore, scam- ■ pered back and caught the ball but Schoendienst beat his relay to the plate for the winning run. It was a. tough one for the Redlegs to lose, especially after they had battled back to knock Warren Spahn and tie the score with a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth Spahn, shooting for his seventh straight complete game victory, appeared to have it in his grasp when Andy Pafko homered off reliever Hal Jeffcoat in the top of the ninth to stretch Milwaukee’s lead to 3-1. But the Rediegs chased Spahn with their two-run rally in the bottom of the frame. It marked the first time in his last—seven games and only the second time this season that Spahn failed to finish. Ed Bailey homered with one out and the bases empty and then with two out. Smoky Burgess lined - 3 pTncfi single" and Bob Thurman drove in the tying run with a pinch double to leftcenter. Fire-baller Don McMahon, who took over for Spahn in the ninth, scattered four hits the rest of the way to gain the decision. Tebbetts employed' 21 players in a vain effort to snare the win. It was the only game scheduled in the majors. Two Exhibition Games The red-hot San Francisco Giants, however, walloped the Chicago White Sox, 10-1, in an exhibition game at Minneapolis. Pete Burnside and Ray Crone combined to limit the slumping American Leaguers to four hits while the Giants pounded Bob Keegan and Tom Qualters for 16 safeties. Bob Speake, Jim Davenport and Ray Jablonski each homered for the Giants. Bubba Phillips’ second inning homer provided the White Sox with their only run. The Philadelphia Phillies edged the Washington Senators, 7-6, m andther exhibition tilt at Philadelphia Two errors by rookie shortstop Ofcsie Alvarez and Solly Hemus’ steal of home highlighted a threerun seventh inning rally that proved the Phils' margin of victory. , ■ Rip Repulski and Chuck Essegian hit homers off Senator starter Ralph Lumenti, who struck out 11 but walked seven in the seven innings he worked. Ken Aspromonte and Neil Chrislery each homered for Washington. Big John Gray, the third of four Philadelphia pitchers, was the winner.

Rolls Perfect Game In ABC Tournament SYRACUSE, N.Y. <UP) — A calm and collected Pennsylvanian rocked the 55th American Bowling Congress championships Monday by rolling a perfect 300 gameEd Shay, 32, Chester, Pa., far from the "hotshot” or star class bowler with his 190 average, bowl- •- ed 12 straight strikes in his third L- and final singles' fame although il he didn't particularly want to. it The big finish — the only 300 n game ever rolled in the third and final game of an ABC singles’ s series — propelled him into the it singles lead with a 733 total, i- Shay’s first two games were 210 i- and 223. s It was the 15th perfect game it bowled in the ABC since William d J. Knox, Philadelphia, got the r first one in 1913. The last one prior to Shay’s effort was by I Myron Ericksen, Racine, Wis., at g Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1955. e "I won’t say I haven’t always s had it in the back of my head to [j roll a 300 game,” Shay said, “But I never wanted to get one 3 because I’m afraid I might lose some of my interest in bowling, h You have to some something to [. shoot for in your mind and now h I’ve reached the top goal of all.” d While ne was preparing to deI- liver his last roll. Shay said he g was worrying more about how he n would defend himself from oni- rushing well wishers, if he did get the 12th strike, than he was about getting the striken "I saw Junie McMahon bowl a 1 300 game once,” he said, “and he got mobbed. I didn't want that y to happen to me." , Shaw get mobbed anyway. ‘ Christie Asks Time i Os Qualifying Upped ; INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Bob Christie of Grant’s Pass, Ore., hoped to have his “slow” qualifi--1 cation time upped today for the ’ 500-mile auto race at the Indi- ’ anapolis Speedway May 30. ' Christie was credited with 141.- ! 900 miles per hour today in ’ the only qualification run taken Sunday. But he asked officials ' Monday whether any of them had i seen him ask for the start 'of the lap before he was given the go-ahead. At least one official said he had which meant Christie had taken five laps instead of the regulation four around the 2%-mile oval. After a conference, it was decided to count the first lap inS ot the' lasVwhicV w*i his slowest at 141 433 miles per hour Officials said they would check the timing tape today to determine the speed of the first lap. Christie’s qualification time was the slowest of the weekend as 19 cars qualified for 33 spots in the starting field. A little excitement was created at the track Monday while polesitter and record-setter Dick Rathmann of Trenton, N. J. was checking how fast he could get in and out of the pits. “Dick came in a little too fast, said an official, “and ended up heading north instead of south.” There was no damage as pit . crews scrambled out of the way. Eddie Sachs of Allentown, Pa., had the best lap at 144.5 as drivers tried to find the “right” car for qualification runs next weekend.

Bavasi Blames , Dodgers' Woes 1 On Duke Snider r'. " , I. ..MILWAUKEE (UP)— "I don’t - think Jt’s right,” countered Duke 1 Snider' when told that the Dogers i Vice President and General Manager E.J. “Buzry” Bavasi, laid ) the team’s troubles in the Nation--1 al League this year right in his lap. » “Mr. Bavasi hasn’t said a word to me about it,” said the 31-year- > old star who has gotten off to a slow start this season. "We have - been good friends for a long i time,” Snider commented in a 5 tone of disappointment. - “Instead of telling me how he ' feels, he tells reporters. He should t Mr- Bavasi knows I can’t hit right and that's all I'm going to say s Mr. Bavasi knows Ican’t hit right > now but will be up there again • when my knee heals,” Snider i said. ? Bavasi leveled the charge Mon- ' day that Snider’s ’’silly accident" ’ in a car crackup during spring ' training is the blame for the Dodgers last place showing in the ’ league after more than a month of f baseball. Not Big Mau i The Dodger official said doctors ! told him Duke’s left knee, which ’ had been operated on last December for a calcium deposit, , was “recovering beautifully” be- ' fore the pre-dawn accident at 1 Vero Beach, Fla. Snider's knee was hurt in the crash and that resulted in his slow start, Bavasi said. “Duke is just not Duke ths year. He has to be a big man in the Dodgers’ plans and he just isn’t this year. He’s not doing a big man’s job,” Bavasi said. Snider’s batting prowess last season produced 40 home runs, 92 RBl’s and an average of .274. ; With more than a month of this , season gone, Duke is hitting in the neighborhood of .225 and his RBI and homer totals are way down from his par “I don’t know how he can call it a silly accident,” said Snider. “Mr. Bavasi was one of the first to come to me and say that he too had been in a similar accident. He must mean that the other drivers are silly.” 1 Snider said he was contacting Bavasi. “I’m going to talk Jo him,” he said. Hite Tossing Incident Bavasi said he would not come out and call Snider responsible for the crackup because “an accident is art accident.” But he added that Duke’s “got to be 100 per cent healthy and the accident prevented that possibility. Bavasi also said another acci dent to Snider’s throwing arm in Los Angeles was "silly.” The Duke was benched and suspended for one day after throwing his arm out flinging balls for distance during a pre-game warmup. •‘I admitted that was silly, said Snider. "But I was only out one day when it should have been more But I couldn’t afford it, he said refering to the payless suspension. Bavasi wouldn’t say whether he believed Snider has not been serious in his play this year, although reports from several quarters indicated that was his opinion. “How can I know if he’s serious or not. The record indicates that he's not doing a big man s job, that’s all,” Bavasi said. MAJOR National League * W L Pct. GB W L Pct.
