Klenk's Rally Defeats Union Team Thursday Overcoming a seven-run deficit, Klenk’s of Decatur battled back for a 12-8 victory over the AFL-CIO team in a Federation league game Thursday night at Worthman field in this city. The union team took a big 7-0 lead in the second inning on a combination of four hits, three walks, four errors and a pair of wild pitches. But Kirchhofer went to the mound, finally halted the uprising, and held the visitors to only one run the rest of the way, that one scoring in the ninth inning. , Klenk's tallied one run in the second inning, another in the fifth, and then staged an uprising of their own in the sixth, scoring six runs to take an 8-7 lead. The Decatur team had four hits in this inning, by Reed, Menze, Kirchhofer and Whetro, and was ai<W by two walks and a base on oalls. Klenk’s iced the game with four in the eighth on only two hits, by Whetro and Menze, plus a walk, an interference call on the catcher, and an error. Waterloo stayed on top of the Federation league with a 12-3 win over Tony & Jim's Cantina, and Klenk's victory kept the Decatur team in the thick of the race with only two defeats. Klenk’s will play the Colonial biters at State School in Fort Wayne Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. AFL-CIO AB R H E Wentz, IT 4 1 10 .

Dodgers Whip i Braves Sixth ; Game In Row By United Press International The Dodgers have a date for the World Series—to watch it on television—and just so no one can call ’em bum sports, they’re trying to get the Braves to join them. v The Dodgers are still mired in last place but they’re No. 1 on the list for giving Milwaukee trouble this season. They have now beaten the world champion Braves six straight times this year and for those figure filberts who like to dig way back, the Dodgers boast eight victories in a row over Milwaukee since last Sept. 12. Don Drysdale did the honors Thursday night with a 4-1 triumph over the Braves that sliced their National League lead to 1% games. The lanky 21-year-old fastballer set down Milwaukee on eight hits and added a bit of icing to the victory cake with a seventh-inning homer off loser Lew Burdette. Charley Neal also chipped in with his 11th homer of the season in the second inning. Cards Dump Pirates Southpaw Johnny Antonelli limited Cincinnati to seven hits in pitching San Francisco to a 5-1 decision. Antonelli was locked in a 1-1 pitching duel with Harvey Haddix until the eighth when the Giants rallied for four ruas, including Orlando Cepeda’s 15th homer with two men on base. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, for their sixth straight win in the only other National League game scheduled. Three errors contributed to the downfall of the Pirates, who lost their sixth straight. Leftfielder Bob Skinner dropped Stan Musial’s fly ball for a two-base error in the seventh and the Cards went on to score three runs on four hits of Vern Law. Another pair of errors by the usually brilliant-fielding Bill Mazeroski in the ninth enabled the Cardinals to add two more unearned runs. Lindy McDaniel gained his fourth victory although requiring relief from Larry Jackson in the eighth. Frank Thomas hit his 21st homer for the Pirates. Hector Lopez of the Kansas City Athletics supplied the big noise’, in the American League with three home runs that sunk the Washington Senators. Jsfi, in. 12 innirtgs.' ” ’ Lopez' third] homer of the game came in the 12th with one on off Vito Valentinetti and earned reliever Murry Dickson his sixth victory. The triumph was the A's sixth in a row, their longest winning streak since they shifted the franchise from Philadelphia to Kansas City four years ago. Harshman Gets Shutout Ted Williams' ninth homer of the year in the eighth inning powered the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Williams hit his tie-breaking homer off Cal McLish, who also was tagged for a seventh inning homer by Dick Gernert. Southpaw Jack Harshman of tire Orioles turned in his third shutout of the campaign by beating the Tigers, 2-0, with a five-hitter. Hitless relief pitching over the last 2 2-3 innings by Bobby Shantz and Art Ditmar helped the Yankees to a 4-3 triumph over the White Sox. Johnny Kucks, who was credited with the victory, was lifted in the seventh after Jim Rivera hit a two-run homer. Shantz and Ditmar then thoroughly bottled up Chicago’s attack. Dick Donovan held the Yanks scoreless until the sixth when they rallied for three runs wtih the aid of four singles. Norm Siebern's homer in the seventh proved to be the winning run. , MAJOR National League W. L. Pct.

Joe Gordon Is Named Manager Os Indians CLEVELAND, Phio (UPD — A “real excited” Joe Gordon returned to the city where he hung up his spikes as an active player today and took over as the new manager of the Cleveland Indians. Gordon, 43-year-old former star second baseman who broke into the major leagues with the New York Yankees in 1938 and sparked the Indians to the American League pennant and World Series championship 10 years later, was named manager of the sixth-place Indians Thursday night, succeeding Bobby Bragan, who was fired." The balding, former Ceveland slugger, was described by Tribe General Manager Frank Lane as “a mature baseball man and sound tactician. He’ll fight you all the way.” 0 Bragan, who was dismissed by Lane “because he didn’t get enough out of the team,” was with the Indians less than half the season. -The 40-year-old deposed pilot is unique in that he has been fired as a manager two years in a row before the season ended. Bragan was given his walking papers by the Pittsburgh Pirates last August. ' _ The personable Bragan took his latest ouster in a clam manner. “I have no complaints to make,” he said. “I received fine treatment and cooperation from Frank Lane„and the front office.” “My only regret is that the ball club, being composed of harddriving players, didn’t get better support from the fans. “It’s possible the team might change under the direction of a man like Joe Gordon, who himself was a hard-driving ballplay-er,”-Bragan said.

Italian Race Classic Will Be Run Sunday MONZA, Italy (UPD—Friends of Argentine auto racing ace Juan Manuel Fangio indicated today he ‘apparently had overcome his distaste for the Monza track and may drive in the 500-mile classic Sunday. They said Fangio has given orders for his mechanics to ready a racer for testing today. Earlier, a spokesman for the Italian Automobile Club said the world champion's appearance was uncertain. Fangio repeatedly had refused to race at Monza because the cars were too powerful and the turns too tricky. He had said the course offered little protection against inadvertently speeding-up around the turns and too much power would fling the Italia and American super-racers off the track. Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix, Ariz., this year’s 500-mile winner at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, heads the international field for the race. Bryan Defends Title Bryan won the first edition of the Monza “500” last year setting a track mark with an average of 160.060 miles per hour in the. car Fangio may drive. Slated to match skills against Bryan are 11 other top U.S. racing aces, plus the best from England. Italy, and France. The Americans driving cars used at Indianapclis in May include Bryan. Jimmie Reece, Johnny Thomson, Troy Ruttman, Don Freeland, Bob Veith, Rodger Ward, Eddie Sachs and Ray Crawford. Two reserve drivers were expected to arrive today. Italian drivers will line-up their two new Ferrari racers with Sterling Moss of England driving the dark-horse, “Eldorado Italia,” built for the race by the famed Maserati Works of Modena. Jags Ready To Go The British cars, all Jaguars, finished fourth, fifth and sixth in the recent race at Le Mans, France. Poor Weather Thursday hampered trials and drivers and mechanics spent the day overhauling the machines for the race which was expected to attract a record crowd. Dunne Carter, United States Auto Club director, inspected the track and told newsmen, “the track • appears to be in excellent condition.” He said it was in much better ; shape than last year when all but three of the 10 American cars were forced out of the race by the beating on the rough concrete. Carter refused to predict the speeds in Sunday's race. But he. said it should be much more interesting than last year and “in all probability the 1957 records will , be surpassed. ” Lad Suffers Severe S Bite While Swimming SARASOTA. Fla. (UPD - A 15-year-old boy recovered today .from a severe bite inflicted by an “unknown marine creature.” The boy, Frank Mahala of Salem, N. J., was bitten Tuesday while swimming at a beach on Florida’s west coast. Authorities said the animal may have been a barracuda. Doctors performed a long operation to repair damage U> the leg, which was bitten twice. Some of the flesh was torn away. OUT OF EASY CHAIR BILL DOESN’T BUDGE!
