Jackets Take First Game In Summer League Decatur high school’s summer league baseball team jumped on Berne’s pitcher, Dick Smith, for four runs in the first two innings, winning the league opener in handy style, 5-2, Wednesday, at Worthman field. Harley Wolfe, who had pitched a nine-inning Junior Federation game the evening before in Fort Wayne, pitched one-hit ball for the three innings he was on the hill, striking out five and walking two. Rudy Kleinknight finished up, giving up both runs, of which only one was earned. The Jackets scored two in the first on a double by Bobby Walters, Tom Grabill’s run scoring single, and three walks after two were out. They added two more in the second on Steve Marbach's run scoring single after Eichenauer was hit by a pitched ball, Walters’ second straight hit, and a walk to Grabill. Wolfe’s sacrifice fly counted Grabill from third after Walters was cut down trying to score on Marbach’s single. Decatyr added the fifth tally in the fifth inning on a walk to John Cowan and Jim Gay’s single to left. Gay got caught in a rundown trying to reach second, which was occupied by Cowan. Cowan went all the way home While Gay was in the hot box. Decatur wasted two triples ,in the inning as Wolfe led off with one and tried to score on a passed ball, and Snyder drove his hit

Colavito Hits Four Homers To Beat Orioles By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International They say “don’t knock the rock” in Cleveland, and you can bet your bottom dollar they'll never do it again in Baltimore. A Baltimore fan tried it Wednesday night and Rocky Colavito of the Indians responded by slamming four home runs in succession to beat the Orioles, 11-8, and knock them out of a tie for first place in the American League. The fan needled Colavito .and then spilled beer on hinrJrom the right field bleachers in tne fourth inning. “That made me mad," said the usually easy-going Cleveland outfielder. So mad, in fact, that the 25-year-old Colavito proceeded to become the second man in modern major league history to hit four homers in consecutive times up during a single game. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees did it in 1932. Colavito drove in six runs in bringing his season home run total to 18. Minnie Minoso and Billy Martin also homered for the Indians as Gary Bell gained his fifth victory with an assist front Mike Garcia. The White. Sox took over undisputed possession of first place by defeating the Senators, 4-1; the Yankees scored their 11th victory in 13 games by beating the Athletics, 8-4, and the Tigers remained in a fourth-place tie with the Yanks by out-lasting the Red Sox 10-9. The Giants climbed to within a game of the National League lead with an 11-7 decision over the Pirates; the Cardinals topped the Braves, 5-2; the Dodgers nipped the Phillies, 2-1, and the Reds clipped the Cubs, 6-4. Early Wynn pitched a five-hitter and struck out seven Washington batters in registering his eighth victory against four defeats for Chicago. The White Sox gave, him all the margin he needed by scoring two rups off Hal Woodeshick in the first inning. A hit batsman, Al Smith’s triple and an error by catcher Hal Naragon did the trick. —— Elston Howard’s two-run double sparked a four-run seventh-inning rally that gave the Yankees their triumph over the A’s. Winner Art Ditmar and loser Bud Daley were tied at 2-2 in the seventh when the Yanks loaded the bases. A passed ball by catcher Frank House allowed the tie-breakihg run to score and Howard followed with his double for two more. Detroit trailed Boston, 6-3, until it came up with five runs in the seventh Rookie Larry Osborne then homered in the eighth and Al Kaline drove in what proved to be the winning run with his fourth hit of the game. Ike Delock, the Red Sox starter, and Gary Geiger also hit homers. Tom Morgan was the winner and Mike Fornieles the loser. Willie Kirkland drove in three runs for thd Giants on three hits, including his eighth homer, and ' Orlando Cepeda also helped sink I the Pirates by accounting for two I more runs with a single and his 114th homer. Sam Jones notched I his seventh victory although Stu Miller had to bail him out when Pittsburgh rallied for five runs in the seventh. George Witt, fresh off the disabled list, dropped his fifth straight game. Bill White of the Cardinals boosted his average to '.342 with three hits and Lindy McDaniel took over for winning pitcher Alex Kellner in the sixth inning and blanked the Braves the rest of the way. Hank Aaron and Del Crandall each homered for Milwaukee but that wastet enough to keep Bob Rush from suffering his second loss against four victories. Gene Conley, who hadn't beaten the Dodgers since 1957. held them to four hits and picked up his third triumph in pitching the Phils to their victory. Philadelphia put together three singles and an error by Charles Neal for both its runs off loser Danny McDevitt in the fifth inning. Home runs by Roy McMillan and Frank Robinson, who went four-for-four, paced Cincinnati to its victory over .Chicago. Bob Purkey yielded only four hits before leaving the game with a blister on his finger in the eighth. Orlando Pena finished and was rapped for a homer by Ernie

Sugar Hart Winner Over Isaac Logart CHICAGO (UPD—Winner Garnet “Sugar” Hart and loser Isaac Logart today agreed that Virgil Akins hits harder than they do. Hart, a rangy Philadelphia welterweight, put a little glitter on his No. 1 ranking by batting the lOth-ranked Cuban, for a unanimous decision Wednesday night at the Chicago Stadium. Hart, ranked one notch higher than Akins by the National Boxing Assn, and one notch lower by Ring Magazine, finished unmarked in contrast to the fading Logart, who required stitches for a twoinch gash over his right eye and a smaller cut on his lip. “It was one of my easier fights,” said Hart, who ha? had 33 among the pros, winning 28 and losing three, including a knockout by Akins. _“Logart surprieed me by not fighting his usual stand-up style,” Hart said. “He takes it good and he hit me a few times. But he doesn’t punch hard. Akins punches much harder.” Logart, battered and puffy, said he “supposed he’d lose his No. 10 ranking,” but he declined to give Hart any credit as a puncher. Logart, who also is numbered among Akins ring victims, said Hart “hits pretty hard, but nothing like Akins.” Brundage Defends Committee Action LAUSANNE, Switzerland (UPD —lnternational Olympic Committee (IOC) President Avery Brundage said today he might retire from his job once the dust has settled on the controversial ousting of Nationalist China from the IOC. Brundage’s eight-year-term will expire next year. The IOC wants him to continue in his job. Chancellor Otto Mayer of Switzerland has said. But Brundage has his doubts. “Some personal questions are pressing," said the 71-year-old Chicago businessman. “Besides, I sometimes feel I could do much more for the Olympic movement by retiring from the presidency and writing some books on Olympic philosophy.” Brundage made the statement after two weeks, that were marked by a worldwide controversy over the lOC's decision to withdraw recognition; from the Nationalist Chinese Olympic Committee until it has changed its name to Formopan. Olympic Committee “or something suchlike.” Although he would not admit it, Brundage seemed to be considerably hurt by the attacks of the U.S. State Department and others on his organization for alleged interference with political problems. “We have been widely misunderstood,” said Brundage. “All we did was to take exception to the name of the. Nationalist Chinese Olympic Committee. That was merely applying our rules and • has nothing to do with politics. Nobody can claim that the Formosan committee really represents Chinese sports. It represents sports on the island of Formosa. “All we ask is that the Nation.alists change their name. Once the name is alright, they are back in (the lOC*.’’ But Brundage added that a twoday old proposal by Nationalist Chinese sports authorities to change the name to “Republic of China Olympic Committee” was “unacceptable.” i( “The word China has got to go, he said. Notre Dome Star Is Signed By White Sox CHICAGO (UPD-The Chicago White Sox Wednesday signed Gene Duffy, Notre Dame baseball and basketball star, to a baseball contract. Duffy, a left-hander from Davenport, lowa, was assigned to Holdrege of the Nebraska State League. He played center field for Notre Dame and batted .379 during the past college season. He led the team in home runs, tribles, doubles and RBl’s. Banks in the ninth. Sammy Taylor homered for the Cubs. Purkey was credited with his sixth victory while Glenn Hobbie suffered his seventh setback.

Nafional Open Gets Underway At Mamaroneck MAMARONECK, N.Y. (UPD— They start out after the big one today and along about sundown Saturday one of 124 professionals or 26 amateurs will be the U.S. Open golf champion. As the field teed off for the first of four 18-hole rounds, the veteran Sammy Snead, who never has won this one, and former Masters champion Arnold Palmer were listed as 6-1 favorites. But everyone — including the competing golfers—agreed that this Open was anyone’s tournament and that the field was wide ripen. “I don’t care how they’ve been hitting the ball in practice rounds —(and the par 35-35—70 of the west course of the Winged Foot £9 ls club has been fractured time and time again)—there Isn’t a player in the field who is better than a 20-1 shot,” insisted Billy Casper, the cherub pro from Apple Valley, Calif. “You just can't figure a tournament like this one, for this is the one that all of us want to win most of all. So discount the odds.” Says To Discount Age Casper also pointed out that age should be discounted. “They say youth should do it, but look back in the records and you’ll find that only six players under 30 ever have won the Open,” he pointed out. Casper is 29. Those who won it under 30 were amateurs Bobby Jones, Johnny Goodman and Lawson Little and pros Gene Sarazen, Cary Middlecoff and Byron Nelson. Goodman won in 1933 at Omaha, the last amateur ever to win the Open. “So don’t sell experience — and age—short,” Casper warned. He doesn’t think anyone in the field will break par 280 for the four rounds. Casper, like a lot of others, figured that the weather, which has been scorching, will have a lot to do about the winner. “And if there is any wind, look, out for the old-timers,*’ he added. “Wind of any kind will make a three or four stroke difference.” Sick Bay Thinmed Out Winds up to 12 miles an hour ■ were expected today,—with the weather turning a bit cooler and i cloudy. The forecast called for possible late afternoon thunder showers. The Open’s sick bay had thinned out with Jackie Burke the only doubtful starter. Burke, who used to be an assistant pro here, said he doubted whether his left wrist, which he hurt at Memphis last month, would permit him to play. After 18 holes today, the golfers will play 18 more Friday with the low 50 and ties qualifying for the final two 18-hole rounds on Saturday. MAJORJ W. L. Pct. G.B.
