Geneva Downs Commodores By 11-9 Score The Geneva Cardinals handed the Decatur Commodores their second loss of the fall baseball season Monday afternoon, halting a late Commodore rally for an 11-9 victory on the Geneva diamond. Geneva obtained only three hits but was aided by five Decatur errors and 10 bases*on balls. The Cardinals scored one run in the first, three in the second, two in the fourth and five in the fifth, the latter on only one hit. The Commodores, after picking up a single run in the third and two in the fifth, made a game but futile attempt to pull out a victory in the final inning. The Commodores put together four hits with four bases on balls to score six runs but the game ended with the tying runs on base. ' The Commodores are scheduled to play Adams Central at McMillen field in this city Thursday afternoon, and at Berne Friday afternoon. j , Commodores AB R H E Lose, 3b 4 10 0 T.

THE DECATUR DAUY DEMOCRAT, ‘ DECATUR, INDIANA

Yellow Jacket Squad Is Hit By Injuries Injuries have popped up in the Decatur football team to key members of the squad. Jim Gay suffered a reinjured elbow in the Garrett game, and may not be able to play for the rest of the season. Bob Shraluka sustained a dislocated shoulder in practice Monday evening. The extent of Shraluka’s injury is not known. John Shaffer has a bad leg, but it is not thought serious enough to keep him out of the Portland game Friday. 38 Strikeouts As Phils Beat Pirates Twice United Press International By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International That was quite a fanning bee in Philly, but no one could buzz the ball by Richie Ashburn, who regained the National League batting lead with a .343 figure. A total of 38 strikeouts—which set two major league records — were registered Monday night as the Phillies swept a twi - night twin-bill from the Pirates. The Phils won the 14-inning opener, 3-2, and the nightcap, 1-0. Ashburn was one of the few players on both clubs who didn’t strike out once. He collected two hits in six trips during the opener and went four-for-foiir in the finale to boost his average five points and move ahead of San Francisco’s Willie Mays, who is second with .342. Fan 21 Pirates Three Philadelphia pitchers — Seth Morehead, Dick Farrell and Jack Meyer — contributed to a record in the opener when they struck out 21 Pirate batters. That broke the previous record of 20 strikeouts set by St. Louis Browns’ pitchers in a 15-inning game against the Washington Senators July 25, 1913. Morehead fanned 12 in 9 innings, Farrell 2 in 2 innings and Meyer, the winner, 7 in 3 innings, including the first six’ men to face him. Ronnie Kline went the route for Pittsburgh and had five strikeouts himself. He gave up the winning run in the 14th on singles by Bobby Young, Ed Bouchee and Dave Philley. In the nightcap, Jack Sanford of the Phillies struck out 10 more Pittsburgh batters while pitching a seven-hitter and notching his 10th victory. Break ‘57 Record Sanford’s 10 victims, coupled with the 21 in the opener, set another record of 31 for a doubleheader that included an extrainning game. The old record was 27 set by the Dodgers and Cubs in a June 30, 1957, doubleheader that totaled 20 innings. Bennie Daniels, the loser, struck out two and gave up the only run of the game in the seventh inning. Ashburn bunted safety, then stole his 29th base and came around on Ted Kazanski’s single off second baseman Bill Mazeroski’s glove. Chief Pirate strikeout victims were Kline, who fan n e d five straight times in the opener, and Bob Skinner, who went down on strikes four times 'in the first game. Only Pittsburgh players who didn’t strike out all night were Dick Groat, who played only in the first game, and Ted Kluszewski, who grounded out in a pinchhitting role in the ninth inning of the nightcap. Still Can’t Score The Baltimore Orioles beat the last - place Washington Senators, 2-0, in the only other major Teague game scheduled. It marked the fourth straight game in which the Senators were blanked by the identical 2-0 score. That tied them for the major league record and they can set a riew one if they are whitewashed again tonight. Bob Nieman produced both of Baltimore’s runs with a Texas League double off loser Russ Kemmerer in the third inning. Hal 'Skinny) Brown held the slumping Senators to six hits and allowed only two runners to reach second base as he gained his seventh triumph. Strikeouts? Only a handful compared to the total in Philadelphia. Brown fanned five while Kemmerer and reliever Tex Clevenger struck out one apiece.

Hendricks. 54, Decatur, was arrested by the city police department Monday at 2:50 p.m. on a warant issued by the clerk's office for the charge of child neglect.
