Decatur High Easy Winner On Wednesday The Decatur Yellow Jackets stretched their unbeaten streak to seven .games, burying the Lafayette Central team, 18-3, at Worthman field Wednesday night behind John Cowan’s steady pitching and a whirlwind attack that included nine hits, eight walks, and eight errors. Five of the nine hits went for extra bases with Tom GrabiH and Harley Wolfe leading the attack. Cowan allowed two unearned runs in the opening frame and was tagged for a legal entry in the third on two singles, but was untouchable in between and thereafter. He was not in serious trouble in any inning, even when Central was able to score. Harley Wolfe responded to the clean-up spot in the batting- order by driving in six tallies on a booming homer and slashing double, while Grabill chipped in with a bases-loaded triple. Tom then capped it off by (Sniping home on the next pitch. The Jackets batted around in the first inning, scoring seven big runs on three hits, four walks and a fielder’s choice. Pitcher Cowan came through with the big blow, a double, climaxing the rally. Decatur added two more in the second, three in the third, and Six in the fourth before Central decided to call it a day. After batting in the top of the fifth, the Central coach felt that it would be best to pack up the bats and try again some other day. Cowan picked up his first summer league triumph after only pitching two previous innings in the Ossian game. Coach Bill McColly’s team next plays Adams Central here next Wednesday.

Marlene Hagge Wins Celebrities Tourney FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — Defending champion Marlene Bauer Hagge, who captured fifth money in the recent Women’s professional Golf championship, won the $4,000 Hoosier Celebrities tourney Wednesday, four strokes ahead of Patty Berg, runner-up in the championship eVent. Mrs. Hagge of Delray Beach, Fla., fired a one-under-men’s-par 70 to go with her first round 71. Mrs. Hagge and Miss Berg Were tied at phr at the toume/ midpoint, but the defending champ carded four birdies against three bogies to capture first [dace money of 1700. She fired a 34 on the front nine and a 36 on the back nine where she had set a women’s record of 33 during the first round at the Fbrt Wayne Country Club course. Miss Berg, of St. Andrews, 18., was tied for second with Bonnie Randall of Columbus, Ohio, who carded a 73-73—145. Each won $530. Mickey Wright of San Diego, Calif., was fourth with 76-71—147; Faye Crocker of Wichita, Kans., fifth at 72,76 —148, and Murle Mac Ken?ie of Pinellas, Fla., sixth with 77-73—150. Betsy Rawls, who won the LPGA championship tourney at French Bick Monday, was tied for seventh with three others. The Spartanburg, S.C., title holder carded a 77-74—151. Bobby Shantz Stars As Yanks Beat Red Sox By FRED DOWN United Press International "That,” said manager Casey Stengel, "looked more like the Yankees. And did you see the little pitcher stick it out all the way?” I Stengel was permitting himself a relatively optimistic point of i view in the wake of the Yankees’ 111-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox Wednesday night because his team did some hitting for ,a ! change and also because he may have found an important pitching addition in Bobby Shantz. “Funny thing,” Stengel pointed ’ out. “Bobby might never have got in there except for my All-Star game strategy which everybody is criticizing.” 1 Stengel explained that he origi--1 nally intended to pitch Whitey i Ford Wednesday night, bu t switched to Don Larsen because ( he had previously decided to work , Ford in the All-Star game. Larsen left under fire in the second inning and Shantz went to work the final 7 2-3 innings, yielding ' two runs and six hits and striking out eight batters. ' The Yankees, weak on the attack so often this year, had a ball at the expense of Ike Delock, Jack Harshman, and Leo Kiely , with a 15-hit attack that included four doubles, a 450-foot triple by Bill Skowron, and a towering homer off the third deck of Yankee Stadium’s right field stands by Yogi Berra. The key blows were the successive shots by Skowron and Berra, which produced the five - run fourth-inning rally that put the Yankees ahead, 8-5, and paved the way fat Shantz’ third victory against two losses. It was the only major league game of the day.

Major League Heads Discuss Two Problems CHICAGO (UPI) — American - and National League club owners - will discuss two major problems, ' aid to the minor leagues and ini ter-league trades, today prior to ' a joint meeting in an attempt to 1 settle boh issues Friday. I Iner-league trades without Waivers already have been ap- ■ proved for a one-year trial period, from Nov. 23 to Dec. 15 this . year, but Commissioner Ford ■' Fqck has expressed disapproval > of the idea and requested reconsideration of the matter- * It appeared that the only concrete action which might come out of the joint meeting would be to repeal or reapprove the trad- ’ ing issue. Approval of the proposal at the winter meeting was by a close margin and a shift in po- , sition by two or three clubs could k bring about repeal. National League sentiment, it was believed, favored repeal of the plan on the grounds that “we ought to keep our own strength in our own league,” while American League owners were believed to favor the new plan as “worth a try.” Baseball rules in the past have i prohibited inter-league trading of ■ any player unless all clubs in the league from which he was being traded waived on him. The new rule would allow trades without such waivers. Aid to tiie minor leagues will get a thorough going-over, but probably the joint meeting will appoint a committee to study the matter and recommend future legislation. Currently there are two funds to aid the minors, one of $500,000 under the administration of former club executive Bill De Witt and the second administered by George Trautman, president of the National Assn, of Professional , Baseball Leagues. The latter , fund, however, can be expended ’ only upon application on the basis , of need by a minor league team. There was sure to be discussion L of the third major league, but the ! subject was not on the agenda of ■ either league meeting or the joint , meeting, and representatives at 1 the new group were not expected ‘ to make an official appear a nee.

Mexican pride had been injured by the defeat of its former bantamweight idol, Raul (Raton) Macias, in Halimi’s first title defense ' here 18 months ago. But Becerra avenged that defeat by knocking out the champion in 2:02 of the eighth round. It was a clear-cut, clean victory in which Halimi was flat on his back, face up, as referee Tomrny Hart tolled the fuH count. Earner in the round the FrenchAlgerian had gone down for a four count that signalled the end was near. Halimi went in at 117, and Becerra at 117% for the title bout in the new Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. It was sweet revenge for Becerra. The bronzed challenger had fought on the same HalimiMacias card and suffered a knockout by Dwight Hawkins after having been plunged into dispair by the defeat of his idol. Becerra recovered and went on to shore 11 knockout .victories for th« right to challenge Halimi Jot thlFtitle. He did what MacmS,; now retired, could not do — nor anjr other boxer — he knocked Halimi down and then put him out for the count. “I hit'him with a good right to the body in the seventh,” Becerra revealed after the bout. “And I could seh his legs were folding. I knew ,1 had him then.” It was a right and left hook combination that finally put Halimi away in the eighth. The dethroned Ffenith-Algerian champion, who earned $65,000, was assured ofa rematch within 90 days — either in Paris or in ’ Los Angeles. But for the time Be- ; cerra basked in the glory of the championship, although he earned only a “paltry” $20,000 for taking the title. The bout officially opened the new* Sports Arena before a crowd of 15,110 and a national television ! audience. The, gate was $151,151.. VftV SMHTHIWi

Hutchinson Is Appointed New Reds' Manager CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI)— Lantern-jawed Freddie Hutchinson, who thinks the Cincinnati Reds are a "good” team that just “hasn’t jelled,” replaced Mayo Smith as manager of the Reds today in a move that everybody’s been expecting for days. The “open secret” that Smith was out and Hutchinson in was officially confirmed Wednesday night when general manager Gabe Paul of the Reds announced the switch. The change had been widely predicted for days and became a virtual certainty when the mildmannered Smith, who had been the Reds’ pilot only since las< Sept. 29, failed to show up at thi meetings of big league officials that accompanied Tuesday’s All Star game. "There’s nothing to say," commented Smith when he got the bad news in nearby Fort Thomas, Ky. “That’s the way base-' ball is.” Hutchinson, who formerly managed the Detroit Tigers and the' St. Louis Cardinals, left his post as manager of the last-place Se-, attle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast ■ League to take over the seventh-1 place Reds. He was due to ar-' rive here by plane early today and to be at the helm when the Reds clash with the San Francisco Giants tonight. “I know the ball club,” said) Hutchinson in Seattle, recalling that he had been manager of the Cards for three years until the! end of last season and therefore was familiar with most National League players. “I would like to see it for a few ‘ days before making any state- i ments ( ” Hutchinson added. “It’s i a good club, but it hasn’t gotten' its pitching and hitting together. | In short, it hasn’t jelled.” Hutchinson said he “hated” to leave the Seattle club in mid-sea-son, but said the Cincinnati offer “was a break I couldn’t pass up.” “Once you’ve been in the big leagues,” he said, “it’s a lure and a challenge you always want to whip.’* Hutchinson, now 40, was a star pitcher with the Detroit Tigers in his heyday and became known as an astute handler of pitchers as skipper of Detroit from mid-1952 to end of 1954 (highest finish fifth place) and as pilot of the Cards from 1956 until replaced by Solly Hemus last Sept. 17 (highest finfcWUcofd M U -pitching iS one of the reasons for the Reds’ current low estate.

Johnny Logan Back Soon With Braves MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD-Mil-waukee manager Fred Haney said Wednesday he expected shortstop Johnny Logan back in the lineup within a week. Logan was spiked on the right ankle during a game with the Chicago Cubs on June 23. exercises. Jordan, who successfully defend- ’ ed his crown against fomer cham- ! pion Virgil Akins in his last out-, ing, has been sharp in training and his punching has been stiffer than that of young Moyer. Moyer, managed by Sid Flaherty, is unbeaten in 20 fights—all | except one in the West. In a big I TV conquest in New York City, 1 he whipped Gaspar Ortega to win. the shot at the crown. Both are confident of victory—without being boastful.
