Ford Blanks Senators In Minnings By FRED DOWN United Press International • It's axiomatic that the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves never look more like champions than when Whitey Ford and Lew Burdette are throwing goose-eggs at the opposition. i And, it’s equally true that nothing can make a major league team look worse than to have its pitching collapse. Both propositions were demonstrated dramatically Wednesday night when the Yankees and Braves scored brilliant victories on the strength of their pitching and the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Athletics suffered humiliating defeats through inability to hold big early leads. Whiffs Fifteen Ford, pitching perhaps the finest game of his career, limited the Washington Senators to seven hits and struck out 15 batters in a 1-0, 14-inning victory while Burdette, off to one of the fastest starts of his career, out - dueled Robin Roberts to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-0 The Yankees thus kept the pressure on the front-running Cleveland Indians in the American League race and the Braves kept their lead in the National League chase.. And what poor Mayo Smith of the Reds and Harry Craft of the Athletics would have given for just a tiny bit erf that kind of pitching! Smith sat b a c-k comfortably when his Reds scored six runs in the third inning and led, 7-0, at the end of five mnings. Then he groaned in despair as the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to tie with seven runs in the seventh and went on to win. 9-8, on a ninthinning single by Rocky Nelson. Walk, Walk, Walk Craft was living it up like Casey Stengel when his Athletics ran up * a 6-1 lead on the Chicago White Sox after two innings. But the White Sox ruined his night by rallying to lead, 8-6, after six innings and then left him crushed when they tallied 11 runs on eight walks, one hit batsman, three errors and one solitary single in the seventh frame for a 20-6 triumph! The Indians walloped the detroit Tigers. 10-1, for their eighth win in nine games and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles. 8-4, in the other American League games. The San Francisco Giants downed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-3, in the other National League game. Bill Skowron broke up the threehour and 40-minute marathon at Washington when he blasted his third homer of the season off Chuck Stobbs with one out in the 14th inning. ® Burdette, now 3-0 for the season, pitched an eight - hitter to give the Braves their sixth win in seven games. Nelson broke up the PittsburghCincinnati shindig with a ninthinning single that scored Bill Virdon and gave the Pirates their second straight win after five losses. Dodger Streak Ends Nelson Fox drove in five runs with four hits and Luis Aparicio knocked in four with three blows but the bulk of the White Sox huge scoring total resulted from 13 walks and dour errors. Buck Shaw shut out the Athletics with three hits over the last 7 1-3 innings to win his first game. Bud Daley suffered the loss although Tom Gorman (charged with six runs without getting a man ait) and George Brunet (walked five batters and hit one) were the real victims of the 11-run White Sox inning. „ , Homers by Jim Piersall, Rocky Colavito and Gene Leek accounted for seven Cleveland runs and Gary Bell spaced out seven Detroit hits as the Indians continued their early-season slugging. Jackie Jensen's four hits and three by Frank Malzone led Boston's attack and Murray Walls one-hit relief pitching for 4 1-3 innings protected the Red Sox lead. The Giants ended the Dodgers four-game winning streak with a 12-hit attack that included three safeties each by Jackie Brandt and Felipe Alou. Shortridge Star Is Chosen On All-Stars INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indianapolis Shortridge’s leading scorer Bill “Bo” Crain, becomes the No. 6 man today on the Indiana high school All-Star basketball team which meets Kentucky in a pair of games in June. Crain led the Blue Devils in scoring during the last two seasons, and swished the nets for 742 points in three years. The lanky 6-2, 169 pounder led Shortridge to two wins over state champion Crispus Attacks last season. He. is regarded as an aggressive rebound- > er and playmaker.

The proceeds will go to the Boy Scouts. Schmidt and Carpentier will be meeting in a rematch of a blistering bout in the Fort Wayne Coliseum, which Schmidt won. However, the “Flying Frenchman” charged trickery after the match, so he will be going all out for revenge in their Geneva meeting.

Jones succeeds Dr. Paul Cundiff who will return to, teaching and writing. x

Angola Edges Jackets, 3*2, InNEICGame Angola’s “junk” pitcher, Dan Waymire, struck out Steve Marbach with Yellow Jackets on second and third, and the score 3-2, staving off Decatur’s seventh inning threat to win their second straight N EIC game. Angola jutnped into the conference lead as only Bluffton is still undefeated, but has only one victory. Decatur picked up four hits to three tor Angola and got 10 fjee passes from scatter-armed Angola pitchers. But the Jackets couldn’t get the hits with runners on base. They left runners stranded on second or third base in every inning. Junkie Baffles Jackets Angola took a three-run lead, scoring one in the third and two in the fourth off Larry Daniels and held off the Jacket comeback for the ball game. scored its first run withaft the benefit of a hit as Angola See JwJer McKee suddenly lost his control, walking the bases full. Waymire then replaced McKee and promptly passed John Cowan, forcing in one run. The slow, curved tosses of Waymire apparently threw Decatur hitters off stride after McKee’s fire-balling. Decatur scored again in the sixth inning as Marbach walked, got to second on a wild bitch and scored on Jim Reidenbach’s double down the third base line. An earlier Jacket threat in the third inning was snuffed out when Reidenbach was picked off third when an attempted squeeze play backfired. The red-haired third sacker had beat out a neat bunt to open the inning. Grabill then walked and both advanced on a double steal, putting runners on second and third with none out. After Daniels struck out, Shraluka tried the squeeze, but missed the bunt. Jackets Play Today Harley Wolfe, who relieved Daniels on the mound in the fourth frame, was robbed of an extra

Major League Scout Watches Game Here Tony Lucadello, former major league baseball player and scout with the Chicago Cubs and now scout for the Philadelphia Phillies, watched a few innings of the Decatur-Angola game at Worthman field Wednesday afternoon. Lucadello was advised to watch a couple of Angola players but wound up praising a Decatur youngster instead. The big league scout said that shortstop John Cowan “could develop” if he can get his throw awajfr quicker and get “under” ground balls better. He also added that Cowan could “add a few more pounds without hurtihg himself.” Lucadello reminisced about almost signing coach Bill McCotly to the Cub chain a few years ago. Bill, then at Ball State, decided to go with Milwaukee, playing several seasons with their farm clubs. Lucadello is currently promoting a revised system play tor youngsters. “It’s aimed at giving more players a chance to actuary play and speeding up play,” he said. The major revisions in the system would eliminate adult managers, allowing the two umpires to make suggestions during the innings to both etams. Twelve players would, be on each team, with all batting regardless if they are in the game or not. A new ball-strike count of 3 and 2 would be introduced. Also new infield and outfield drills would be add-
