Decatur High Takes Fourth Game In Row Decatur’s summer Yellow Jackets won their fourth straight game, extending their unbeaten streak as Lafayette Central succumbed on its own field Thursday night in a five-inning game, halted by darkness, 11-7. Jacket batters used only four hits in routing a shaky Central squad, scoring six times in the first on a pair of hits, three walks, two errors, and three passed balls. The big blow, however, was pitcher Rudy Kleinknight’s first hit of the year, a line double to right with the bases full. Tall, lean Rudy chalked up his third summer league victory, the second as a starter. i■... • ■ - ■ - Central out-hit the Jackets, 6-4, and the offensive standout was Dick Dewter, hard-hitting shortstop, who had a perfect day with three for three and four runs batted in, besides stealing a couple of bases. ----- ———- ..,■ t .

Progress On New Use Os Corn Is Reported An industrial future for highamylose starch —a new starch from a new corn—is predicted by U ,3.'-department of agriculture scientists, according to word received at the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation office. High-amylose corn would be a new raw material for the corn-refining industry, which normally uses about 140 million bushels a year. Department of agriculture chemists have demonstrated that amylose starch forms tough, durable films with many possibilities for industrial packaging, wrapping, and coating. Plant breeders have shown the feasibility of developing corn hybrids with perhaps 100 per cent content of amylose starch.

Mickey Vernon Leads Braves ,' ■ 1 To Triumph By MILTON RICHMAN > 1 United Press International Mickey Vernon used to be .Presi- 1 dent Eisenhower’s favorite ball : player and now Fred Haney 1 knows why. The President said he always : liked him when he was with Wash- ’ ington because Vernon alvXays I “came through with a hit when it was needed most.” And the shakey Milwaukee Braves never needed hitting more ■than they did Thursday night when a loss to Los Angeles would have dropped them out of first 'place in the Natuonal League for the first time since May 12. So Haney inserted the 41-year-pld Vernon into Milwaukee’s starting line-up. * And the spindly American League castoff didn’t fail him, either. Vernon got the first hit and scored/ the first run of the game ih the second inning and tlton teed off for h three - run the third to pace the Braves to a 7-6 victoyr over the Dodgers. The triumph kept Milwaukee a half-game ahead of San Francisco, which beat Cincinnati, 8-3. Brave Lead Endangered Del Crandall also homered for the Braves to help build a 7-0 lead which was almost dissipated when the Dodgers rallied for three runs in the fourth and Duke Snider hit a two-run homer in the sixth. Relief ace Elroy Face racked up his Uth straight victory with-J out a loss as the Pirates topped the Cubs, 4-2, in 13 innings. The Cardinals and Phillies were not scheduled. In the American League, the I Yankees made it three in a row over the White Sox, 5-4, in 10 innings; the Red Sox snapped the Indians’ seven - game winning streak 7-6; the Orioles downed' the Tigers, 7-6, and the Senators beat the Athletics, 7-5. Three errors by second baseman Johnny Temple paved the way for the Giants’ victory over; the Reds. Orlando Cepeda rapped out four of San Francisco’s 15 hits. Face limited the Cubs to three hits in five innings of relief to gain credit for the Pirates’ triumph. The little Pittsburgh righthander now has won 16 in a row dating back to May of 1958. Bob Skinner singled home the tiebreaking run in the 13th inning and Bill Virdon’s sacrifice fly produced the insurance run. Mantle Paces Yanks Mickey Mantle’s 10th inning homer off White Sox reliever Ger;ry Staley led the Yankees to : their 15th victory in the last 20 ! games. It also moved them within a game of the fourth-game Tigers. ’ Vic Wertz was the big gun in ‘ Boston's win over Cleveland, which still retained its 1% game : lead over the second-place White Sox. Wertz belted a homer and a double and then singled home the winning run in the eighth. Jackie Jensen also homered for the Red Sox while Woodie Held and rookie pitcher Larry Locke, making his major league debut, hit homers for the tribe. The Orioles came storming back - from a 6-1 deficit to beat the Tigers and climb within 2% games of first place. Two- run homers by Gus Triandos and Chico Carrasquel in the eighth narrowed Detroit’s lead to 6-5 and Carrasquel won the game in the ninth when he singled with the bases full for two runs. Al Kaline of the Tigers suffered a fractured cheekbone when struck by second baseman Bill Gardner’s wild throw in the first inning. Kaline was operated on in a Baltimore hospital and is ex- . pected to rejoin the Tigers in a few days. Harmon Killebrew socked his 23rd homer —moving him within one game of Babe Ruth's record ■ pace—and Roy SieVers his fifth .as the Senators handed the Athj letics their fifth straight defeat.
