Robin Roberts Pitches 16th Win Os Season By FRED DOWN United Preu International Robin Roberts and Richie Ashburn, two of the original Whiz Kids who helped Eddie Sawyer lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a pennant in 1950, are making gallant efforts to prevent a lastplace finish for the returned pilot this year. And, in 1 the process, Roberts could well wind up with a “comeback of the year’’ award and Ashburn with a National League batting title. The Phillies, who haven’t finished in the cellar since 1945, climbed to within two games of the seventh - place Chicago Cubs when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals. 6-2, Monday night. The Milwaukee Braves trimmed their magic pennant clinching number to four with an 8-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the only other day or night activity in either league. Roberts, Who seemed over the hill after 19-18 and 10-22 wonllost records the past two years, pitched a seven - hitter to raise his current mark to 16-13. It was his 19th complete game of The season and his five strikeouts raised his total to 123 for 252 innings. Ashburn, who set a cflib record by playing in his 1,6315 t game, raised his league - leading average to .343 when he smashed a triple and a single. He now holds a five - point lead over St. Louis’ Stan Musial, idle again Monday night. Doubles by Harry Anderson and Jim Hegan plus a sacrifice fly by Ted Kazanski gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the second inning and they added single runs at the expense of Vinegar Bend Mizell in the fifth and sixth. An eighth - inning error by Don Zimmer paved the way for the Braves to score five runs and beat the Dodgers' for only the eighth time in 22 games. Zimmer’s error followed a single by Casey Wise and the Braves then raked Fred Kipp and Clem Labine for four more singles and a walk. Joe Adcock had two jingles and" hfc 19th homer to pace the Braves’ 11 - hit attack which brought relief pitcher Bob Rush his ninth victory.

A source in Philadelphia told United Press International that Carpenter “would not stand in Hemus' way if he is offered the job” but that the Phillies’ owner would demand a first-ranking major league player in the trade if the Cardinals want Hemus to be their manager. Major league tampering rules forbid the Cardinals from closing any deal with Hemus until the end of the season.

Open Deer Hunting Season In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Officials of the Indiana Conservation Department met with Hoosier sportsmen late Monday to work out proposals for conducting the 1958 pheasant and deer seasons. About 50 sportsmen representing conservation clubs throughout the state attended the open meeting in the department’s office hre. They heard officials outline three specific recommendations for the coming season: —Open season for buck deer for bow and arrow hunters in all Indiana counties except Ripley, Sullivan and parts of Greene and Clay. The period would extend from Nov. 1 through Nov. 29 except for Sundays and the three days preceding opening of the gun-hunting season, Nov. 24, 25 and 26. Deer also could be hunted by bow and arrow during the gun season. —An operi season for cock pheasants in all counties from Nov. 10 through Nov. 22 except for Sunday, Nov. 16. —Open season for buck deer for gurf hunters in all counties of the state except the four mentioned previously. The season would extend from Nov. 27 through Nov. 29. Officials of the department’s fish and game division said an increase in the state’s deer herds would warrant the first open season since 1956. They said the state’s pheasant population is at least on a par with last year’s when hunters were unable to kill as many cock pheasants as the population permitted without harming the breeding stock.

will interfere with hunting again, they said. A research report said half the pheasants are killed on the first day and 80 per cent of die final bag in the first week. Some of the sportsmen attending the meeting suggested that shooting on the first day of the season start as late as 10 a.m. or noon instead of dawn. A bag limit of one cock pheasant per hunter per day originally was recommended by the department. This was changed at the hearing to two per hunter and a possession limit of four after the season has been open two days. Hens again would be protected. No deer hunting would be allowed in any state park. Only bucks with at least one forked antler could be taken and deer would be hunted only between the hours of sunrise and sunset. A bag possession limit of one buck per hunter was proposed. The department also took under consideration a request by archery enthusiasts that the season for bow and arrow! hunters be made to include does as well as bucks.
