Larry Tanber, a 34-year-old design draftsman, fired a two-under-par 68 Thursday to tie for the lead at 206 with Bill Heinlein, a 1 Carmel pro who paced the field since play, opened Tuesday. Heinlein, who had a two-stroke lead at the end of 36 holes Wednesday, shot a part TO in his bid for a fourth title. Should either falter, pro Jim Guinnup of Lafayette was ready to step in. Gufnnup carded a 70 Thursday to give him a 54-hole total of 209, three strokes behind the co-leaders. One stroke behind Guinnup was another pro, Arnold Koehler of Greencastle, who shot a 69 Thursday.

College Athletic Heads In Session DENVER (UPI) — College athletic leaders from all over the country converged here today for five days of meetings that will be climaxed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association “conference of conferences.”* Walter, Byers, executive director of the NCAA, said he will recommend to the executive committee the University of Kansas be the site of the Midwest regional of the 1959 national collegiate basketball championship tournament. Approval by the executive committee will send the event to the Kansas campus for the third time in the past four years. Byers said he will ask the committee to approve Louisville, Ky., for the 21st annual finals, March 29-31. Other regional tournament sites Byers will recommend are: East — Charlotte, N. C.; Mideast, Northwestern University, EvShston. Ill.; Far West — Cow Palace, San Francisco.. The 50 members to the nonpolicy making “conference of conferences” will study three problems: —The general question of col-lege-professional relations, with particular emphasis on college baseball’s relationship with professional baseball. —Plans for improving the administration of playing rules. —A proposal that high schools and colleges join in adopting continuing rules of eligibility. Magic Number For Yankees Now 23 United Press International The “magic number” for the New York Yankees is 23, and for the Chicago White Sox that means “23-skidoo.” The Yankees’ 6-3 victory over the White Sox Thursday means that the Yankees can clinch the American League pennant by winning 23 of their remaining 33 games. Or any combination of Yankee wins and Chicago losses adding to 23 will do it. In the National League, the Milwaukee Braves, with a 6% game lead, also have 33 to play. But their “magic number” for a pennant clinching is 29. Major League Leaders United Press International National League Player & Club G. AB R. H. Pct. Musial. St. L. 11l 391 59 137 . 350 Ashburn.

ANNUAL “STAG” PICNIC AT LEGION HOME Sunday, Aug. 24 12 Noon Till ? COME AND BRING YOUR 1959 DUES!

Burdette And Turley Win For Braves, Yanks By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Lew Burdette and Bob Turley, two money players who probably would pitch the opening game, have the Braves and Yankees back on the high road to the World Series. Just when the comfortable league leads of bqth teams seemed in danger. Burdette sent the Braves 6% games in front in the National League when' he whipped the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-0 Thursday night and Turley turned back the surging Chicago White Sox, 6-3, to put the Yankees 11% ahead in the American. Burdette, who doled out four hits to the Dodgers, now has won eight games since the all - Star Game. Turley allowed six Chicago hits in gaining his 18th victory of the year, tops in the majors and an all-time career high for him. The two right-handers won real big games Thursday night. Giants Loss Helped The Braves were in trouble, with their lead down to 5% games and a five-game series with the second - place Giants right around the co rne r. But the Giants dropped an 8-1 game to Don Newcombe of Cincinnati in the afternoon and that gave Jiurdette his chance. A four - run explosion in the fourth inning, including homers by Hank Aaron and Burdette himself, was all he needed. At Yankee Stadium, the White Sox came in sassy to start a three-game series, riding a sevngame winning str ea k. They’d gaind 5% games on the Yankees in the last three weeks, winning 15 out of 20, and thy got off to a 14) first - inning lead against Turley. But the Yankees crept ahead, 3-2, and then broke the game open with three runs in the seventh on three singles, a walk, and two sacrifice flies. In other Diursday games the St. Louis Cardinals behind Larry Jackson nipped the Philadelphia Phils, 2-1; Ernie Banks’ 39th and 40th homers gave the Chicago Cubs a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh; the Boston Red Sox outslugged Cleveland. 8 -6; Gus Triandos’ homer gave Baltimore a 7-6 win over Detroit; and Hec Lopez’ two homers led the Kansas City A’s to a 7-4 win over Washington. Banks Homers Twice Jackson scattered 10 hits to win for the Cards in a duel with Curt Simmons. Simmons balked home a run in the fourth inning and Gene Freese singled home what proved to be the winner in the fifth. Newcombe, gaining only his third win against 11 defeats, was threated to a four - run firstinning lead by the Redlegs and breezed home on a six-hitter. Banks, the major 1 eagues' leading home run slugger, drew even with Babe Ruth's record pace for the year in which Babe hit 60. He also had a run-scoring double in a perfect 3-for-3 day. At Boston, the Red Sox stranded 16 runners, but a three-run rally in the eighth inning, including a two- run homer by Dick Gernert, decided the game. The Orioles, trailing 6-3, came up with four runs in the seventh, including Triandos’ three - run clout, to beat the Tigers and tic them for fourth place in the A.L. Lopez’ two homers for the A’s gave him 12 for the season, seven against Washington. Former College Head Pleasant Dale Speaker Dr. and Mrs. V. F. Schwalm, of North Manchester, will be at the Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren Sunday at the worship services at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Dr. Schwalm is president emeritus of Manchester College, where he served as acting president for 15 years.

Senators' Owner Is On Hot Spot WASHINGTON (UPI) — Owner Clark Griffith of the Washington Senators squirmed on a hot spot today because the Cleveland Indians’ announcement they are considering moving their franchise is forcing his own hand on the same mattqr. If Griffith really wants to move his club to Minneapolis — which Thursday he refused to deny — he may have to move fast before the Indians beat him to the punch. If he decides he does not want to move, he may have lots of trouble getting a vote of approval from the league and, in addition, may incur the wrath of Congress. If Griffith asks the American League for permission to move to Minneapolis, he could draw negative votes not only from the Indians but also from the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Griffith refused to deny a published report he will ask for transfer approval as soon as the Senators end their current home stand on Sept. 3. Open Probe Tuesday On Gibbons Affairs Rackets Committee Shifts From Baker WASHINGTON (UPI) —The Senate Rackets Committee today prepared to shift its sights from Barney Baker to the burly unionist’s patron, Teamsters vice president Harold J. Gibbons. Committee counsel Robert F. Kennedy said a week-long inquiry into the St. Louis operations of Gibbons, one of Teamsters president James R. Hoffa’s top lieutenants, will begin next Tuesday. Kennedy said an election that elevated Gibbons to president of the St. Louis Teamsters Joint Council last January and the circumstances of a violent 1953 taxi-cab strike will come under the commitHe made it clear the hulking tee's scrutiny. figure of Baker, although gone from the witness chair, would be evident again in the St. Louis picture developed by the committee. Kennedy, in a radio interview Thursday night, said he didn’t think there would be a clean-up of gangster elements in the Teamsters. "Some of the smaller gangsters around the country in the locals might be gotton rid of,” Kennedy said, “but the big-time gangsters will never be gotten rid of because Mr. Hoffa is frightened to get rid of them . . . hasn't got the guts to get rid of them.” Kennedy said the gangsters “put him <Hoffa) in the position he holds ... He cannot now turn around and say you have served your purpose and are out of your jobs.” The counsel said he doubted Hoffa would be called as a witness next week. Baker, accused of repeated "willful perjury” during his two days of testimony by Committee Chairman John L. McClellan <DArk>. told the investigators he owed his present job as a roving organizer to Gibbons. Baker, reputed "strognarm man” for the Central Conference of Teamsters said he had lost his job as president of Teamsters Local 730 in Washington, D. C.. in 1952 when Gibbons invited him to move west. Baker’s movements outside his home territory occupied the committee Thursday. The investigators were told that Mrs. Ruth Brougher, once Baker's girl friend, and Tom Burke, a union sidekick of Baker, had “an enormous pile” of diamond rings and other jewelry in Miami, Fla., in 1955 that appeared to be worth up to $190,000. French Consul Shot By Terrorist Group - BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD — French Consul Jean Gaspard, 35. was shot and critically wounded by terrorists Thursday night while driving to the airport. He was not expected to live. Gaspard, first foreign victim of the recent outburst of terrorism, in strife-torn Lebanon, was hit in the stomach and liver by an explosive bullet. He was taken to the American University Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. The average American consumed 1.8 gallons of liquor in 1957.

Sanders And Goetz Lead Canadian Open EDMONTON, Alta. (UPI) — A host of young American pros — including half-way leaders Doug Sanders and Bob Goetz—continued to dominate the Canadian Open golf championship today as the field moved into the third round. Canada’s 46-year-old Stan Leonard of Vancouver, one stroke off the pace with a seven-under-par 133, was the lone member of the old guard within striking distance of the young Yanks. The two 25-year-old leaders each fashioned five - under - par 65s in Thursday's second round to jump into the 36-hole lead. Leonard, who holds the competitive course record of 64, was bunched at 133 with four youthful American pros—Arnold Palmer, Tony Lerna, Lionel Hebert, and Tommy Jacobs. Floodwaters Ease Off In Oklahoma No Further Floods Reported In Area United Press International Floodwaters cased off in the Wewoka and Seminole, Okla., areas today, ending an impromptu rodeo in which residents stood on bridges and roped cattle swept down rainswollen Wewoka Creek. Scattered showers continued Thursday night in the southeast and east central sections of -Oklahoma, but no further flooding was reported.

Ernie Banks Smashes 40th tj £b> Homer Os Year CHICAGO (UPI) — Will Ernie Banks become the first man to top Babe Ruth’s 31-year-old record of 60 home runs in a season? The possibility has e xci te d thousands of Chicago Cubs fans. But as for Banks, he couldn't care less. “All I ever think about is winning the ball game," the slender Cub shortstop said after belting his 39th and 40th against the Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday. “Sometimes I can tell by the sound of the bat and sometimes I can’t. But I love to see the ball go over the fence. I never give a thought to what number it is or whether it comes near any record,” he said. Banks hit his first homer of the game off, Vernon Law, putting it into the left field bleachers, where most of his circuit clouts land. He knocked the second off reliver Ron Blackburn into the 450foot center field bleachers, making it the sixth time this season he has hit two homers in one game. came in his 122nd game of the campaign and left him two games behind Ruth’s pace, who belted No. 40 in the 120th game of 1927 for the New York Yankees. Banks’ slugging parallels the Bambino’s in that both got off to slow starts and picked up momentum in the closing weeks. Ruth had a phenomenal September, hitting 17 in the final month to boost his total to 60. The six-foot-one 178-pound shortstop, who has been called the greatest “wrist-hitter” in baseball, admits to a practical moneymaking interest in blasting homers. “The more homers I hit, the more money I make,” he said, smiling. Banks refuses to tell how much he earns, but it is estimated each home run is worth SI,OOO in his pay envelope. As home run hitters go, Banks is a lightweight. He depends on perfect timing, meeting the ball at the right instant—rather than on the muscular swing. “He has got the best timing I've ever seen,” Manager Bob Scheffing said. “When he hit that second homer yesterday, he hadn't
