Joey Jay Wins For Milwaukee Over Cardinals By FRED DOWN United Press International It turns out the pitcher the Milwaukee Braves have been seeking for two weeks was sitting on their bench all the time. He’s Joey Jay, the first “little leaguer” to make the majors—and maybe a big league pitcher after all. At least he looked it Friday night when he became the first Milwaukee pitcher since May 31 to go the distance in hurling the Braves to a 2-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The "distance” in this case was only six innings, for the game was called because of rain with the Braves batting an? scoring ih the top of the seventh but it was enough to give the world? champions their third straight win and maintain their game and a half National League lead. It was the Cardinals’ fourth loss in six games and dropped them below .500. Jay, a 225-pound right-hander, survived all roster cuts this season but was virtually forgotten as he appeared in only three games for the Braves. Manager Fred Haney finally got around to starting him and the native of Rock Fall, Conn., responded with the best effort by a Milwaukee pitcher since Bob Rush shut out the Philadelphia Phillies on April 25. Giants Snap Streak The Giants snapped a five-gahie losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers nosed out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4, on Pee Wee Reese’s two-run ninthinning double in the other NL

In the American League, new Manager Bill Norman made a successful debut at Yankee Stadium when the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 4-2, the Bostori Red Sox walloped the Kansas City Athletics, 9-3; the Cleveland Indians crushed the Washington Senators, 10-1, and the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators played a curfewended,, 14-inning, 5-5 tie. Johnny Antonelli pitched a fivei hitter for the Giants, who clinched the game with a five-run eighthinning rally after loser Robin Roberts had left for a pinch-hit-ter. Willie Mays, who had one hit in three tries, made two brilliant defensive plays in support of Antonelli, who won his sixth game. Reese, whose third-inning error helped the Pirates score two runs, doubled with two out and two on in the ninth to give Clem Labine his third win. Ron Kline, who beat the Dodgers in two previous starts, suffered his seventh defeat cpnijpared to sig victories. Tigers Beat Shantz i The Tigers beat Bobby Shantz for the first time in eight years, during which he was 12-0 against therri, with a nine-hit attack featured by Johnny Groth's two triples. Billy Hoeft won his fifth game but got fine relief from Billy Moford and Hank Aguirre. Ted Williams had two run-scor-ing singles and Dick Gernert hit his 12th homer for the Red Sox as Tom Brewer scored his third victory. Ned Garver was kayoed in 4 2-3 innings to suffer his third loss. Ray Narleski pitched a fourhitter and homers by Billy Moran, J. W. Porter and Minnie Minoso produced eight runs for the Indians. The White Sox rallied for five runs to go ahead, 5-4, in the ninth but rookie Jim Marshall homered with two put in the last of the ninth to produce a tie that exised unil he game, was called because of a Balimore curfew last.

Tommy Bolt Is * Leader In U.S. Open Tourney TULSA, Okla. tUPD-A poor ' boy, a poor little rich boy and ! a kid from South Africa, who ‘ hopes to become the first foreign 1 winner in 28 years, went out today with the brightest chances of winning the U.S. Open golf championship. On top was Tommy Bolt, a poor kid from Oklahoma, who became a carpenter to earn enough money to go on golf’s gold-dust trail. Two shots away was muscular Frankie Stranahan, heir to sparkplug millions who all his life has tried to live down that ‘ rich boy” tag and earn his own fame and fortune. Right in between them stood 22-year-old Gary Player, the redhot invader whose wife once beat him 1-up in a friendly match. Meanwhile, on the sidelines was heart-broken Sam Snead. Slammin’ Sam had'tailed Jagain, in his 18th try, to win the only major title in golf which has eluded him. The heartbreak was greater this time for it was the only time in all those years, during which he has won more tournaments and more money than any golfer in history, that Sam failed to qualify for the final two rounds of play. Bolt Keeps Cool Bolt, keeping his temper under control on the heat-seared hills and hollows of the Southern Hills golf course, had a two round total of 142, with two 7|’s. Phyer, wh stands five-foot-seven, was at 143, thanks to the first sub-par round in the tournament, a two under 68. while at 144 was Stranahan with two 72’s. Player had shot a first round 75. There were others in the surviving field of 56 players—all of those with scores of 154 or lower qualified for today's two 18-hole rounds—who had a good shot at the ,<tp threesome. Four strokes back were Julius Boros, who won this one in the heat at Dallas in 1952; amateur Charley Coe and Labron Harris, a 49-year-old professor of mathematics and the golf coach at Oklahoma State University. Then came Gens’ Littler and grandpaw Jimmy Demaret at 147 followed at 148 by Ben ' Hogan, shooting Tor his fifth Open title-; Tom Nieporte of Bronxville, N.Y., and Brute Cramptpn, the curlyhaired Australian. Burkemo In Runnnig Also in the running were former Open champion Lew Worsham and former PGA king Walter Burkemo. both with 149’s; two former Open kings, Lloyd Mangrum and defending champion Dick Mayer, and leading money winner Arnold Palmer in the 150 bracket; Ken Venturi at 152; former Masters and PGA champion Doug Ford and another former PGA king, Chick Harbert, at 153 while the 154 group included Cary Middlecoff and former amateur champion Harvie Ward.

Minor Accident Is Reported To Police A minor accident was reported to the city police department Friday that occurred in the A&P parking lot. A car driven by James W.

Obtain Lodging For Exchange Students Lodging for the 28 foreign exchange students was completed Friday afternoon, Joe Kaehr, chairman for the Rotary club committee, announced today. The students are part of a group of 68 that will arrive in Decatur July 2 at 2 p.m. for a two-day visit in this community. During their stay here, they will tour the local industries and spend time visiting with the young people in this community, to understand more on the life of people in small cities and communities. Kaehr stated that a program is being outlined for the students. Hearing On Death Case Is Delayed The Dale Death case, scheduled for Monday, will not be heard at that time because Death’s attorney has asked for additional time to file pleadings.

The case in question is that of Dale Death vs the city of Decatur, for reinstatement as a city policeman. Death charges that he was illegally removed from that position.

By Friday it was overflowing at a high rate. It may be necessary to stone the overflow qrea to keep it from undercutting. A road has been extended along the north side of the lake, but has not yet been stoned. At Geneva, state road 116 is still under water east of town. The Loblolly region, as usual, has flooded badly. Mfeny county roads were impassable. Fields were as much as six feet under water. In many the fence posts did not show. In Geneva, a few basements were flooded, but no damage reported. The Lob was up to the infield of the baseball diamond. In Berne some streets were flooded Tuesday. Water Over 124 Along state highway 124 a mile west of Coppess Corners a bad situation exists. The state highway department has graded I*4 miles of ditch on the south side- of the. road, changing the natural drainage from north to east. Then at the end of the ditch, where the water piles up, after they have closed all the culverts north across the road, they have only an 18 inch culvert over a 12 inch tile. The water has backed up over nearly 80 acres of the Elmer Isch farm in French township. It is backed up so far that it runs over the top of the road from the large pond on tjhe south side of the road. Across the road, the newly dredged ditch through the Glen and Lester Adler farm, Joe Zimmerman farm, and Harold Moser farm is running brink full but is carrying off the water in good fashion. Had the area south of the road drained properly across the road, little damage wotfld have resulted to Isch’s field, which is now under water. The drainage area association has complained to the state highway department several times, but has been unable to iJcure any action. Mock Area Hit East of Berne is a fertile muck area about eight miles long and one mile wide, containing more than 5,000 acres. It has been extremely hard hit for two years, and three years ago suffered some loss. The area is very flat, and when the ditches back up over the land, it fails to drain out again, leaving large pockets of water. In past years muck farmers were able to raise fine crops of onions and potatoes. But these crops are extremely expensive to plant. For example, an acre of potatoes costs $l5O for seed and planting. This is considerably more i than an acre of com would cost.

SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1958

Because farmers in this area have been flooded out three years in a row, few planted expensive crops this year. Some potatoes were planted, but only a few onions, formerly the staple crop. One farmer interviewed was Emerson Lehman, who has 90 acres flooded out this year. Last year he lost his entire bottomland crop. The»year before it was severely damaged. Lehman finds that he must work in Fort Wayne to be able to afford the luxury of farming. His story is typical of those in the muck area. But the muck farmers are not taking the flood situation lightly. Friday morning they decided to plan their own help. One big problem has been backwater from a ditch flowing into Blue Creek. The Berne ditch, carrying large quantities of water from Berne and neighboring areas, with a good slope from the upper drainage area to Blue Creek, pours a large quantity into the creek. Just below the mouth of the Berne ditch, a flat, level ditch from the muck area enters Blue Creek. It has little push behind it, as its drainage basin is very low. r The muck boys have decided thai they will throw a dam across the ditch near the mouth of the creek, and install a pumping station to keep the water from backwatering over the fields. At the present time, water from Blue Creek actually flows backward up the ditch, and adds to the flood troubles of the muck area. The pumping station will allow the muck area to drain much faster, and prevent backwater. The farmers are now organizing an association, and hope to be able to do something about flood problems next year if they occur. Wins Second Place In Baton Twirling Ed Morgan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Morgan of 310 South 11th street, was awarded a trophy for second place for baton twirling in a recent exhibition of the All Stodden school of baton twirling at Fort Wayne.
