Fifteen single games and one .double header are on the Decatur card, with eight of the games on the home diamond at Worthman field. The double header will be played at Marion. Six of the contests are Northeastern Indiana conference battles, one with each of the NEIC schools which play baseball. Garrett does not field a baseball team. In previous years, two games were played with each conference team, but with the addition of Angola to the NEIC, It was too difficult to carry such a schedule.

The Jackets wiU open their schedule Monday, AprU 13, meeting the Portland Panthers at 4 p.m. at Worthman field. None of the home games wiU start before 4 o’clock, with three slated for 5 p.m. Season tickets, priced at only 35 cents, good for the eight home encounters, are now on sale by members of the team and .also by the Booster club members.

Major Leagues' TV Take $10.9 Million NEW YORK (UPI) — Major league baseball’s 1959 “take” from radio and television .will be about $10.9-million — roughly the amount four million “live” fans would shell out in the ball parks, according to a survey today. • An A. C. Nielsen survey for Television Age magazine estimated that the total cost of televising major league baseball this year would be a record $36.2-miHion. The actual cost of producing the telecasts was estimated at $9.1million with a final $16.2-miflion estimate for national, regional and local sponsorship of pre-game and post-game programs. The New York Yankees will <123 games) and also receive the televise more than any other team biggest income — an estimated sßso,ooo—from TV. The magazine also estimated that the Los Angeles Dodgers would get $600,000 in radio and TV Income—although the Dodgers are listed for only 11 telecasts. The Milwaukee Braves and the San Francisco Giants are the only clubs which are not televising at least some of their games.

Palmer And Souchak Share Golf Honors PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPl)—Arnold Palmer and Mike Souchak split the spoils of victory today from the SIO,OOO Seminole pro-am tournament, but grabbing an equal parpel of glory was the little gentleman from Texas, veteran Ben Hogan. Both Palmer and Souchak finished with a 36-hole total of 141 Wednesday to win the rich twpday event. But it was Hogan** five under par 67 on the final round, tying with Hogan and two others at 142 for runner up honors. Slammin* Sam Snead, who held a one-stroke lead after the opening round, blew up on the back nine and finished with a 73 for a 143 total. Shol Over Par And Cary Middlecoff, winner of the St. Petersburg Open and a runner up Tuesday, also soared over par Wednesday, shooting a five over 77 to fall far back in the pack. The Seminole, attended by many of the Palm Beach social set and featuring the biggest stars in the game, is one of the four tournaments Hogan now enters. He plans to leave today far Augusta, Ga., where he will start warming up for the colorful Masters April 2-5. Palmer, who won the Masters last year with a 284, posted four birdies and two bogeys Wednesday for a two under par 70. Souchak, had four birdies and only one bogey for a 69. Each player received S9OO top prize money. Playing Best Golf Tied with Hogan and Wall at 142 were Jim Ferree, WinstonSalem, N.C., and Gene Littler, Singing Hills,*-Calif., each firing 70s. Snead came next with his 143, followed by Ed Oliver, Denver, Colo., and George Bayer, Gleneagles, Hi., knotted at 144. Oliver had a 68 and Bayer a 69. Palmer said he was playing his best golf of the year, but Hogan declined to pick him as the man to beat at the upcoming Masters. The all-time great from Fort Worth, Tex., also refused to predict how he would do in the Georgia tournament. He finished out of the money last year. Palmer picked up some addiitional cash by pairing with Bos“ton industrialist Arthur O. Welman for low team honors with a 66-61—127. Syracuse Nationals Even Playoff Series United Press International The Syracuse Nationals breathed a sigh of cautious relief Thursday when .X-rays taken of Dolph Schayes’ injured left foot failed to show any sign of a fracture. Dr. Mark Harwood, who treated Schayes • after he led the Nationals to a 119-107 victory over the Boston Celtics in Syracuse Wednesday night, said he believed the injury was either a sprained or bruised toe. “The foot will be quite painful, but he should be able to play,” the doctor said. “The X-rays did not show any fracture.” The former NYU star had been bothered by pain the last few games but continued to play. His 16 for 16 effort from the foul line Wednesday night enabled the Nats to deadlock Boston at twoall in their besVof-sevem series. Schayes led SyracuSih with 28 points. The Nats took a 62-53 half time lead and bottled up a Celtic spurt in the fourth period by scoring nine straight points. Larry Costello, with 26 points and Hall Greer, 21, were Schayes’ able assistants in the triumph. "Frank Ramsey was Boston’s high man with 29. Schayes’ possible loss would make the Celtics heavy favorites to take the series lead when the scene shifts to Boston Saturday for < the fifth game. The St. Louis Hawks, defending National Basketball Association champions, seek an overwhelming ! 3-1 lead over the Minneapolis Lakers when they meet in St. Paul, Minn., tonight in their Western Division final round.

Cardinals Slash 15 Players Off Rosier ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UPI) —The St. Louis Cardinals today cut off 15 of the 53 players in camp, including Von McDaniel, who was an 18-year-old schoolboy pitching sensation two summers ago. The younger McDaniel brother was the only player not shipped to the triple-A camp at Daytona Beach, Fla. He was sent to the lower-classification training base at Albany, Ge. “Von ha* got to start over,” said manager Solly Hemus at the young righthander who had troubles in double-A and class B last season. "He needs to get back his confidence and to work further on regaining his method of delivering the ball.’* _ Also dropped off the roster were pitchers Frank Barnes and Marshall Bridges, infielders Jim McKnight, Billy Harrell, Wally Shannon, outfielder Ellis Burton and first baseman-outfielder Duke Carmel. Returned to their clubs were pitcher Hay Sadecki, catcher Chuck Stanlland, infielder Ed Olivares and outfielder Bob Boyer, all Omaha, and catcher Hank Kuhlmann and outfielders Charley James and Gene Oliver, Rochester. The 38 players retained included three not on the big league club’s roster—shortstop Julio Gotay and pitchers Bob Gibson and Howard Nunn. Bob Cerv Leads A's To Victory Over Yankees By FRED DOWN United Press International Bob Cerv is flexing his muscles again and so the Kansas City Athletics figure they’re no longer the “patsies” of the Grapefruit League. Cerv, • one of the American League's top sluggers last season, could lead the Athletics into the . first division this year, according to manager Harry Craft. Both Cerv and the Athletics got off to a poor start this spring but Bob took charge all by himself Wednesday when the Athletics scored a 3-2 decision over the New York Yankees. It was only the Athletics’ sixth victory in 14 Grapefruit League games. Cerv singled home one run m the first inning and tripled home another in the third in addition to clouting a double. Ned Garver pitched the first five innings for the Athletics and held the Yankees to three hits. jAI ’ * Both Received Surprises The Washington Senators and ' Cincinnati Reds each enjoyed a pleasant surprise when Chuck Stobbs and Orlando Pena turned in nine-inning performances. Stobbs, traded to the St. Louis Cardinals last season and then reacquired for nothing when he received an outright release, scattered eight hits to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-1. He has yielded only one run in 18 innings this spring and attributes his comeback to the fact that he is wearing glasses. Pena, who had an 11-10 record for Havana of the International League last season, pitched a five-hitter to become the first Cincinnati pitcher to go nine innings this spring in a 4-1 win over the Cardinals. Frank Robinson's Second homer in as many days and his fourth of the spring broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth. The Milwaukee Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-4, the Philadelphia Phillies shaded the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, the Chicago White Sox downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2, and the San Francisco Giants clubbed the Boston Red Sox, 9-4, in other exhibition games. Aaron Gets Homerun Hank Aaron and Del Crandall hit homers and drove in three runs each to lead the Braves’ 14hit attack against Johnny Podres, Clem Labine and Bill Harris. Bob Hartman, who pitched six innings, and Joey Jay limited the Dodgers to eight hits. Homers by Wally Post and Ed Bouchee and a triple by Stan Lopata were the big blows in the Phillies’ seventh victory in 13 games. Gail Harris and pinch-hit-ter Niel Chrisley drove in all Detroit’s runs with homers. Don Cardwell and Jim Owens held the Tigers to five hits. Don Hoak had two singles and a double for the Pirates but Early Wynn and Dick Donovan held his teammates in check. The White Sox scored all their runs off 22game winner Bob Friend who went seven innings for Pittsburgh. The Giants sent the Red Sox to their fifth straight loss with a lusty 13-hit attack but had a scare when shortstop Andre Rodgers, one of the sensations of their spring camp, was “beaned” by Tom Brewer in the second inning. Rodgers, who was hit on the left side of the face, was forced to leave the game and probably will be sidelined several days. I

Lopez Thinks WhifeSoxTo Beat Yankees (EDITORS NOTE—'This ia the 1 Oth dis pitch on the prospects I of the major league clubs in 1659). By LEO H. PETERSEN ( UPI Sports Editor TAMPA. Fla. (UPI)—AI Lopez, who has beaten the Yankees only once in eight tries, claims he is going to do it again in 1959. As manager of the Cleveland Indians he beat the Yankees in . 1954. In five other seasons with : Cleveland, and the last two years , with the Chicago White Sox, he always has finished second. He thinks his third White Sox ; club is going to do the job. "I figure we have the best shot at them, with Detroit right up ■ there, too," Lopez reasoned. “One of us is going to beat the Yan- ■ kees this year. I honestly feel we’re the club that is going to do He likes his pitching, his down-the-middle combination of Luis Aparicio at shortstop, Nellie Fox ; at second and Jim Landis in centerfield and his catching, led by the long-ball hitting Sherman Lol- ’ lar. What he doesn’t like is his first [ base situation and his relief pitching. Some Bullpen Help *‘lf we could come up with a big bat at first and a little bullpen help, Casey Stengel would finish second for sure,” Lopez said. “I’m tired of finishing there, Let good old Casey or Bill Norman (manager of the Tigers' have that spot. Our aim is first place and I honestly feel we’re going to make it.” His first base situation is such that he even is considering moving Lollar to that position if Earl Battey continues to improve in his catching and if veterans Ray Boone and Earl Torgeson and big Ron Jackson ca’n’t fill the bill on a full-time basis. Boone has slowed down, Torgeson is 35 and Jackson still has to prove he can hit major league pitching. He hasn't been able to thus far this spring. Short and second are set, of course, with Aparicio and Fox and at third it will be Bubba Phillips with the veteran Billy Goodman behind him. Sam Esposito will be the utility infielder and rookie John Romano, who hit r .291 ,*t Indianapolis last season, i the third string catcher. That . leaves—catcher Les Moss in the > expendable class. Going With Callison I In the outfield, Lopez is going with rookie John Callison in left, i Landis in center and Al Smith, . who appears to have recovered , from his leg injury of last season, in right. • “I’m going all the way with . Callison,’’ Lopez explained. “Last year -1 decided to do the same with Landis. He was hitting only .200 in July, but I stayed with him and he turned out to be the goods. I’m going to stay with Callison the same way.” Callison hit .283 at Indianapolis in 1958 with 29 home runs- and 93 runs batted in. For outfield reserves, the White Sox have the veterans Jim Rivera and Don Mueller. Lou Skizas will stay on as a pinch-hitter and can play third or the outfield—neither very well. Lopez will start out with Billy Pierce (17-11), Dick Donovan (1514), Early Wynn (14-16), Ray Moore (9-7), Bob Shaw (5-4 with Detroit and Chicago' and Barry Latman as his first-line pitchers Latman won three games while losing none for the White Sox late last season after they called him up from Indianapolis, where he had a 9-11 record. Might Take Some Doing Turk Lown, the ex - rational leaguer who was 3-3 with White Sox last season, will be the No. 1 bullpen man unless the club makes a deal. The other hurlers will be veteran Gerry Staley (4-5) Don Rudolph, an 11-game winner at Indianapolis; Claude Raymond, who won only three games at Wichita last season but who has impressed Lopez this spring and rookie Rodolfo Arias, up from Havana where he had a 7-7 record. Lopez is hoping that Arias will give him the left handed relief pitching he lacked last season. While Lopez is optimistic and the White Sox have changed ownership, they don't appear to have changed too much on the field. It might take a lot of doing for for them to finish as high as second again. Jerry Mitchel Named On All-College Team Jerry Mitchel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Mitchel, and the husband of the former Connie Liechty of Berne, was selected to the 195859 Hoosier College conference basketball team. ' Mitchel, a junior center on the , Manchester college five, was graduated from Adams Central high ‘ school. Other members of the . team are: Jack King, Taylor U.; • Mickey Shircliff.

Near Million Paid a ; For Prep Tourneys INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Hoosier basketball fans plunked down nearly a million dollars to watch their high school teams try for the tourney championship this year. Gross receipts from the sectional, regional, semi-state and state tourneys totaled $968,343, or $42,000 more than during 1958, the IHSAA said today. A total of 1,508,962 fans watched their teams struggle through all the 85 tournaments, compared to the 1958 total attendance of 1,507,047. The added number of spectators meant more money for the 710 schools participating..in .the , 4-week hardwood derby. The schools got $548,785 of the proceeds, an increase of $37,347 from the year pexore. Sectional attendance was lower than the 1957 record, mainly because Friday morning games were discontinued this year and the number of sessions was cut from seven to six, according to IHSAA Commissioner L.V. Phillips. But 1,207,301 fans poured into gyms around the state to watch sectional firing this year compared to last year’s attendance of 1,206,294. The higher 1959 pace continued through regional play which drew 184,353 fans compared to 182,955 in . 1958. But attendance fell off slightly in semi-state centers and the state finals at Indianapolis. Total attendance for the semistate was 88,960 in 1959 and 89,430 in 1958, while 28,348 hardwood enthusiasts packed Butler Fieldhouse for the finals—2o less than last year.

Dream Game Story Omission Co r rec ted Corrections for the “dream basketball games” story that appeared in Wednesday’s Daily Democrat, include: 1. Roy Kalver’s name was inadvertently omitted from the box score, along with his scoring total —one point! 2. The technical foul called on Kalver was for hiding the ball under his shirt. Referee Gerald Strickler apologizes for that call, it was a mistake. Strickler thought Kalver had the ball under his shirt, but it was only Roy’s stomach.

Archie Moore, Yvon Durelle Are Rematched MONTREAL (UPD—Fight promoter Jim Norris today chalked up his first victory since the courts disbanded his International Boxing Club—the signing of lightheavy champion Archie Moore and Yvon Durelle for a July 15 repeat of 1958’s “fight of the year.” , Norris, now operating through the National Boxing Enterprises of Chicago, pulled out this big plum at a time when rival promoter Bill Rosensohn in New York was trying to line Moore up against Sugar Ray Robinson. Truman Gibson, president of the Norris-backed NBE, called the signing “a major move by the NBE.” He insisted that the signing didn't mean the NBE had given up trying to match Moore and Robinson, either, but said a Moore win over Durelle “would make a Moore - Robinson fiht even more attractive.” And Gibson made it plain he thinks the NBE would be the outfit that would land Moore-Robin-son, too. “There are about 18 guys trying to promote that fight,” Gibson said, "but most of them haven’t got a , nickel. Archie knows that Norris has the money on the line.” Gibson and co-promoter Eddie Quinn of Montreal made the announcement here Wednesday while Norris was in town to watch his Chicago Black Hawks meet the Montreal Canadiens in

Ducks, Geese Make Annual Trip North Ducks and geese are now making their annual trip north for the summer, and hundreds of them, ' [eluding ringnecks, buckleheads, ’( mallards, and shovelers are now stopping on Adams county ponds and creeks. Jack Hurst, district conservationist, said today. Hurst stated that while some ot the birds stop here, the larger lakes and streams in northeastern Indiana are literally covered with them at this time of year. He recently visited Little Elkhart creek in Noble county to take colored slides, which will be shown later Pro Basketball NBA PLAYOFFS Eastern Division Syracuse 119, Boston 107 (best of seven series tied, 3-2>. the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs. Moore, who got off the floor four times to keyo Durelle in the 11th round last Dec. 10, will receive a $250,000 gurantee. Durelle, Bale Ste. Anne, N. 8., fisherman who never has had a “big pay day,” will settle for a $15,000 minimum. The fight will be at the Montreal Forum, if Quinn, Gibson and Co., can convince Moore it should not be held outdoors. In New York, Robinson had obtained a promise of a $600,000 guarantee from promoter Bill Rosensohn for a proposed bout with Moore with the latter’s title . at stake. The two fighters would ’ have split the guarantee down , the middle. Robinson said in New , York Wednesday that Moore had . a right to fight anyone he wanted Jto medt- ■ —
