Redlegs Rally ■& To Score Win * Over Giants By FRED DOWN United Press International Win or lose, those fabulous San Francisco Giants make news. Eighteen times a winner in the last inning this season the Giants did a fantastic turnabout Thursday night and blew a 10-9 decision when the Cincinnati Redlegs tied the score with five runs in the eighth inning and won the game with a single tally in the ninth. It was a bitter defeat for the Giants because they dipped one game behind the Milwaukee Braves, who beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-1, behind Juan Pizarro's four - hit pitching in an afternoon game. And, it was doubly bitter, because once again DANCE • SATURDAY, AUGUST 2 EAGLES PARK Minster, Ohio j- . Dancing from 9 till 12 DONN SMITH ORCHESTRA

Ruben Gomez failed in the clutch. Gomez is the pitcher the Giants have been waiting to come I through all season. He hadn't won a game in two months until he beat the Philadelphia Phillies Monday night in a performance Manager Bill Rigney hoped marked a sharp upturn in Ruben’s work. But Thursday night it was Gomez who came out of the bullpen in the eighth with the Redlegs one run behind and threw a game-tying single to Don Hoak. Two singles, a walk and Pete Whisenant's game-winning single then tagged him with his eighth defeat against six wins in the ninth. Rookies Show Power The Giants appeared on their way to an easy victory on the strength of heavy slugging by rookies Leon Wagner and Willie Kirkland. Wagner had four hits, including two homers, and knocked in three runs while Kirkland drove in three runs with a homer and two singles. Big jlows in the Redlegs’ fivehit rally were a two-run pinch nomer by Walt Dro p o and singles by Dee Fondy, Jerry Lynch, Ed Bailey and Hoak. Joe Nuxhall, who pitched a hitless mfiffi toning.was the winner. Pizarro, win n i n g his second game since being recalled from Wichita, struck out eight Dodgers and got the runs he needed when the Braves erupted for three runs io snap a 1-1 tie in the eighth. The Phillies shaded the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, and the Chicago Cubs scored a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in a rain - shortened eight-inning game in the other N.L. activity. The New York Yankees increased their first - place lead to 15 games with an 8-3 triumph over the Kansas City Athletics and the Detroit Tigers edged the Boston Red Sox, 3-2. in the only American League action. Washington at Chicago and Baltimpre at Cleveland were rained out. Error Beats Pirates Jim Hearn, making his first start since July 20, 1957, gained credit for his second victory with relief aid from Dick Farrell, who stopped the Cardinals for the last 1 1-3 innings. Harry Ander-

son's two- run, first - inning homer and a two-run double by Richie Ashburn in the fourth accounted for all the Phillies’ runs. An error by third baseman Frank Thomas enabled the Cubs’ winning run to score in the eighth inning and tagged Don Gross with the defeat. Ernie Banks hit his 29th homer of the year for the Cubs to take over the National League lead and Dick Stuart hit No. 6 for the Pirates. Norm Siebern drove in three runs with a double and a single and Elston Howard knocked in two with a pair of blows to pace the Yankees’ 13-hit attack on five Kansas City pitchers. Frank Boling’s eighth - inning double scored Billy Martin with the winning run as the Tigers made it two in a row over the Red Sox. Frank Lary pitched a four-hitter to win his 10th game for the Tigers while 21-year-old Billy Monbouquette took the loss. Chiefs Future In Hockey Uncertain INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The question of wether Indianapolis would send an International Hockey League team on to the ice this winter was still up in the air today. — — Owner Mel Ross discussed the problem with Sam Silverman of Louisville Thursday. They were trying to figure out how the Chiefs, after three years in the red, could be placed on sblid, financial ground. Ross said he and Silverman decided to wait until after a league meeting in Detroit scheduled lor Sunday. The meeting was supposed to determine the number of teams which will play in the league. Ross said the Chiefs chances for a spot were “favorable.” He said earlier the sport “was through” in the Hoosier Capital because of low gate receipts. Ross has an interest in several other sports and business operations. He said with Silverman as a partner, he would be relieved of the duties of management. Silverman is a former manager of the Louisville Rebels, another IHL team. ~M!NOR I £aaue&eAu£& : _jl_Z N- : American Association , W. L. Pct.

WCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Time Running Out On Sports Measure WASHINGTON (UPD — Time was running out on the Houseapproved spftrts bill today. , Chairman Estes Kefauver (IlTenn.) of the Senate anti-monop-oly subcommittee scheduled a meeting to decide what action to take on it in the wake of hearings which ended Thursday. There was a chance the subcommittee would decide to blow the whistle on the drive to give antitrust immunity to team sports. Kefauver said bluntly, “I am not satisfied with the House-passed bill.” The dissatisfaction of other members of the subcommittee is well known Sen. Joseph C. O’Mahoney (D-Wyo.) has called it a ‘‘blank check ... an owner’s bill,” and Sen. John A. Carroll (DColo.) has criticized some of its features. But the major threat to the bill, and its exemption for many phases of team sports from the anti-trust laws, was the clock—the congressional adjournment pitch which was beginning to run to fever. Kefauver said the subcommittee — if it decides to go ahead with the bill — could perhaps secure passage of a version by midAugust. Any earlier congressional adjournment would catch the sports bill, he said. Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — The Rev. Bob Richards, just back from Russia, today blasted American indifference toward track and field athletics. Richards, two- time Olympic pole vaulting champion, stressed, however, that his criticisms were not caused by Russia's victory over the United States, 172-170, at Moscow this week. ‘‘We should have won that first U. S. - Russia dual meet,” he said, “in spite of their combining the men’s and women's scoring, and injecting a women’s halfmile run, and other things.” : Furthermore, he f 1 a t e 1 y predicted an American triumph in i the second U. S. - Russia games. 1 slated for Philadelphia, July 10 1 and 1C 1959. U. S. At Advantage 1 Richards, who went to Moscow i as an observer, and not -as-a | competitor, said his irritation was 2 caused largely by America’s ; “naive failure” to appreciate the i propaganda value of triumphs in l this type of international corri- I petition. 1 —“lf our communities supported . track and field athletics properly,” he declared, “it shouldn’t be just a question of whether we could beat Russia, but by how great a margin. “We’ve had the greater experience. We have great potential talent. And we are positive that our system of individual motivation in athletics — as in other fields — is superior to that of regimentation.” Depend On Colleges Richards, of La Verne, Calif., a minister in the Church of the Brethern, urged that American communities do the following: —Keep the school gymnasiums and fields open during the summer vacation periods for youngsters, boys and girls, to practice there. — Convince the so - called “athletic clubs” in our various cities that they should resume the support of track and field athletes, instead of continuing to degenerate into mere “poker clubs or places for drunks to be boiled out and rubbed down.” —Stimulate greater interest in women’s track and field by convincing the girls that athletic prowess can enhance their beauty rather than diminish it. “We’ll a Iwa y s produce out- ; standing athletes —but not enough ; of them,” Richards said. “W e depend about 80 per cent on our j colleges | for producing international competitors. And less than ( 10 per cent of college students participate in track and field.” - I Buhl Ordered To i Clinic For Exam L MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD — ’ Pitcher Bob Buhl of the Milwaukee Braves has been ordered to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for an examination of his ’ ailing right arm. Buhl has been ’ out of action since June 14. Cincinnati Redlegs ] Trying To Cool Fans CINCINNATI (UPD — The Cincinnati Redlegs, who have tried such innovations as vesttype uniforms and air-conditioned caps, are now making an attempt to cool the paying customers, too. Sometime before the end of the season, the club announced today, it will install six large fans in the aret behind home plate in an air circulation test. “ If the experiment is successful, the dub said, it will install enough fans to cool the entire, grandstand area. • Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Billy Goodman Baffling For Second Title CHICAGO (UPD —Chicago White Sox infielder Billy Goodman, who at 32 is fighting for his second American League batting crown, said today it all was a matter of breaks. ‘•Sometimes they go with you. Sometimes they go against you. Right now they’re going with me,” he said. Goodman, Boston’s Pete Runnels, Kansas City’s Bob Cerv, Cleveland’s Vic Power, and the Sox’ Nelson Fox were all scrambling for the lead. Goodman, however, has jumped to contention with a white-hot five-week streak. Through Thursday, he had collected 49 hits in 118 times at bat and hit safely in 25 of his last 32 games. “I'm not doing anything differently. There’s nothing I’ve changed. Things just are slipping in,” he said. He said the Sox also were getting a few breaks. ’Early in the season it seemed likewe couldn’t click no ..matter what we tried. Now we’re getting those few extra runs when it counts,” Goodman said. But he said the team’s position had nothing to do with his hitting. "I go up there to hit no matter what place the team’s in,” he said* “If we’re doing fine, all the better. But when Fm not hitting it’s not because the rest of the club isn’t.” Goodman’s current pace at the plate is all the more noticeable because he’s missed better than five weeks of the season, plauged with such things as a strained knee ligament, a bruised hip, an infected throat and a stomach disorder. “I feel fine now,” he safd. ‘And now is what counts.” Sox' Manager Al Lopez said he felt Goodman had a fine chance for the/toatting crown. Goodman won ft in 1950 when he hit .354 sot Boston. , ‘His timing has improved a great deal since he came off the bench,” Lopez said. I’ll play Billy so long as he feels up to it.” Through Thursday, Goodman has made 274 appearances in 64 games for an average of 4.4 per game. - He must average at least 3.7 appearances in the remaining games to qualify for the crown, which requires a batter to appear at least 477 times. The only White Sox ever to win the crown was Luke Appling, who took it with .388 in 1936 and .323 in 1943 Stock Cars Race At New Bremen Sunday NEW BREMEN, O —Stock car racing will return to the New Bremen speedway Sunday. Only five stock car programs have been completed this year as there have been nine dates rained out. Time trials Sunday will be at 1 p.m., with the first race at 2:30 o’clock.
