Yankees Seek To Move Out Os Last Spot By FRED DOWN United Press International There’s no time like the present if the Yankees want, to prove they’re still alive and kickin’. They’ll have Bill Showron, their best hitter so far this season, back in the lineup when they open a four-game aeries with the Baltimore Orioles Friday night. And they’re sending World Series hero Bob Turley to the mound to try to pitch them out of last place. But their work is cut out for them because manager richards is countering with flutterball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, who pitched a no-hitter against the Yankees last season and beat them, 3-2, on April 26. Wilhelm, shose dancing knuckleballs have been the despair of American League htiters, has a perfect 5-0 record this year. Depend On Indians The (Yankees need more than a victory of their own to move out of the cellar. The Ceveland Indians must also beat the Detroit Tigers who knocked the Yankees into last place with a 13-6 walloping on Wednesday and have won 11 of 16 games since Jimmy Dykes succeeded Bill Norman. The Yankees were idle along with most other teams Thursday but the Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies and, Boston Red Sox all UsM the day“‘to get well.” The Pirates smarting under criticism by manager Danny Murtaugh, beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2, the Phillies snapped an eightgame losing streak with a 3-0 decision over the Chicago Cubs and the Red Sox. scored their second win in nine games when they downed the Athletics, 5-0. Haddix Stops Cards Harvey Haddix struck out seven and yielded 10 hits as he raised his record against his ex-Cardinal teammates to 9-4 and his seasonmark to 3-2. The Pirates routed Lindy McDaniel with three runs in the first inning and went on to pile up 12 hits, including three each by Bill Virdon and Don Hoak. Gino Cimoli, Gene Green and Chick King had two hits each for St. Louis. Ruben Gomez tossed a fourhitter to win his first game of the season sos the last - place Phillies who broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning with-two runs against Bob Andersofi . Willie Jone’s singly. double, a sacrifice ny, an infield hit and another sacrifice fly produced the runs Gomez. who winked one and struck out three, retired the last 13 Cubs ni order. Dick Gernert, Jackie Jensen and Jim Busy hit homers that accounted for all the Red Sox runs. Tom Brewer was well on his way to a shutout when he left the game with a sore pitching hand in the eighth innihg and Leo Kiely finished up. Brewer was hit on the right hand by a liner off Ray Boone's bat. Ned Garver suffered his second setback for Kansas City.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUH, IMDIAWA

Third Major League Movement Spurred COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD-The move toward a third major baseball league was spurred on today by the announcement that the major leagues would “favorably consider” applications for another league. Michael Shea, chairman ot New York City's special committee to bring another major league team to that city to replace the departed Giants’ and Dodgers’ franchises, said he was “elated.” “I expect to nave a package proposal ready to put before baseball Commissioner Ford Frick in about five weeks,” Shea said in New York. Frick, in a special meeting called here Thursday with representatives of the 16 major league clubs, said that the eight clubs in a new league would have to meet certain qualifications. At the meeting here Thursday, Frick said the eight teams in any new league would have to be in cities with half a million population or more. He said they would have to have a stadium seating at least 25,000 persons. Frick said there was no plan to expand the American and National leagues which are composed of eight teams each into a larger league. *

| Today’s Sport Parade | ■ "■ "■ » 1 ■' (Re. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Casey Stengel was a happy, satisfied man. “We, should win the pennant,” he confessed. “Why, we have youngsters we’ll send down to the minors who could foe playing for any other big league team.” That was in March. Now, a short two months later, the Yankees are squirming at the bottom of the American League, Stengel is talking around with glazed eyeballs and everybod/ else in doing the talking. This is what they are saying—and thinking according to our own private translation: Joe Gordon, Cleveland manager: “In 1940, the last time the Yankees were in last place, we had a better ball club with such as DiMaggio, Keller Henrich, Selkirk, Dickey and Crosetti. We had won four pennants in a row but that bad start killed us.” (Translation: Let’s haye another funeral.) Tina Louise, movie acrtess and former catcher at Scarborough High School: “All work and no play makes the Yankees dull boys. They need a night on the town.” (Meaning: Well, they did win the year they went to the Copa, didn’t they?) Ford Frick, baseball commissioner: “At our major league meeting we are discussing the merits of a third major league.” (Now that the Yankees have joined the American League, a new third league is necessary.) Gil McDougald, Yankee infielder: “If it wasn’t so Serious it would be comical.” (Laugh, you bum, and I'll murder you.) Tommy Henrich, Detroit coach: "The other teams see them sagging and suddenly they aren’t afraid of the Yankees any more.” (At last they’ve quit rolling over and playing dead.) Ryne Duren, Yankee pitcher: “It looks to me as if somebody stole a page out of Damn Yankees.” (This has gotta be fiction and we’ll all wake up in a few minutes.) Eddie Sawyer, Phillies manager: “That’s in the other league.” (What’s so unusual about being in eighth place? I lose eight in a row and they think Stengel’s got troubles.) Murry Dickson, Kansas City pitcher: “They don’t look like the Yankees.” (Why, they don’t even look like the Washington Senators.) Kansas City players en masse: '“Wonder which one of us the Yankees will buy now?” (And even if they are at the bottom, I hope it’s me.) Don Mossi, Detroit pitcher “They’re swinging as usual and T’m pitching to them the same way as if they were clobbering the ball.” (Man, don’t ask why? Just be happy it’s happening.) i, 1 Jimmy Dykes, 1 Detroit manager: “The way he's going, I don’t care who Stengel uses.” (After all, he was a second division manager before.) Hank Bauer, Yankee outfielder: “The whole club’s to blame and everybody better damn soon wake up•” - (We're playing like a bunch of bums.) And, having the last word as usual, Casey Stengel: “the world ain’t gonna end tomorrow.’’ (Nope, it sure ain’t. It ended the day we dropped into the cellar.) ;

Big Ten Vote Slated Today On Rose Bowl .T’r ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPD — The Big-Ten votes today whether it should continue playing annually in the Rose Bowl, but even the expected vote of rejection won’t wind up the issue. Five of the 10 members—Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio State— -are committed to oppose another contract providing for the bowl competition and a five-five deadlock in the balloting, regarded as a certainty, would kill the agreement after the 14th game next Jan. 1. But there is solid support for continuation of the bowl agreement among its five proponents and even among individuals who represent schools opposed to the pact, and today they will try every strategy in an attempt to keep the post-season participation alive. I Should the final vote of rejection be taken today, there will be nothing to prevent introduction of new legislation calling for Rose Bowl participation at the next conference meeting. Thus, the same issue probably will come up again prior to the first game for which the Big Ten isn’t committed — Jan. 1, 1961. Supporters of the bowl contend that the Big Ten must remain as a participant, otherwise, independent schools competing for the bowl berth and its lucrative cash rewards would cause increased problems in recruiting and would put pressure on conference coaches to skirt regulations in an effort to obtain players to maintain prestige. Because the conference splits its Rose Bowl share into 12 portions, no Big Ten member receives a significant amount because of the game. But the entire share to a single school would be a tremendous inducement to go all-out to make certain of frequeht participation. I

Work Al Fever Pilch To Ready Speedway Cars INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Drivers and mechanics at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway were working at fever pitch today in an attempt to, get their race cars tuned up for qualification attempts this weekend. They were given a brief glimpse of sunshine Thursday, and 29 drviers took advantage of a measly five hours running time to shake the bugs from their as yet unqualified roadsters. It was the heaviest traffic at the track in several days, in spite of ’intermittent rain showers. But no one seemed particularly interested <in burning up the bricks, and the highest speed was turned in by rookie Richard (Red) Amick, Muncie, who was clocked at 143 miles per hour. Paul Russo, 45, Webster Groves, Mo., apparently gave up on his No. 38 Novi, which has been plagued with fuel injection trouble, and wheeled around the track at 142.5 miles per hour in the car which Johnny Parsons vacated. Russo’s action immediately caused a flurry of reports about his switching cars, but Novi chief mechanic Jean Marcenac said he would, have Russo out for pratice in his own car today. I The other Novi seems to be running all right, however. Dempsey Wilson, Hawthorne, Calif., took No. 4 out for a test run to check improvements in the fuel injection Also taking to the bricks was defending “500” champion Jimmy Bryan, Phoenix, Ariz. Bryan worked his bright-yellow No. 6 roadster up to 136 miles an hour to break in a recently rebuilt engine. It was the same machine which won the last .two Memorial Day classics and Bryan hoped to qualify it Saturday or Sunday. There are only 19 spots open in the 33-car lineup, but with 44 unqualified racers still in the running tension in the garage area continued to increase. And it was not helped any ‘by the recent hot, muggy weather. North Carolina Child Suffocated By Bag WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (UPD —A seven-months-old boy suffocated Thursday when a plastic shirt bag became wrapped around his head. The victim, Randy Smith Flynn, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Flynn. Authorities were unable to determine how the accident occurred. They said Flynn had thrown the plastic bag into a wastebasket. In 1887, Heinrich Hertz showed that waves emitted by an electric spark produced another spark in a hear by loop of wire. These “Hertizan Waves” are the basis of radio.
