Jackets Beat Adams Central For Bth In Row Continuing on their hot consecutive unbeaten streak, the Decatur Yellow Jackets pounded Adams Central’s Greyhounds for nine hits, including home runs by Tom Grabill and Waldo Snyder, burying the Monroe team by a 12-1 count behind the stellar twirling of Rudy Kleinknight, who allowed but two hits in his first six-inning chore at Worthman field Wednesday.

The Jackets scored in the first when Bob Walters led off with a pass, .stole second and scored ahead of Jim Gay, who had also walked, on a booming triple to left center by Marbach. Snyder drilled his homer into left center, adding the final two tallies of the frame. Walters again opened the second with a walk, took third on Grabill’S single and both scored on Ahr’s single to center and a poor fielding play by the cut-off man. Grabill scored on the play as the first baseman took the relay and tried to get Ahr going into second instead; of permitting the throw into the plate to get Grabill.

Federation League Thursday — Klenks vs Tri-City (Worthman, 8 p. m.) Don Drysdale Blanks Pirates On Three Hils By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Some say it hums, some say it whistles, but no matter what it does, Don Drysdale’s fast baU sure sounds like pennant music to the Dodgers’ ears. Standing up at the plate against the side-arming Drysdale is Tike facing a firing squad without a blindfold, according to National League hitters. The six-foot, five-inch Los Angeles right-hander is sheer murder on right-handed batters when he fires those sizzling fast balls at them byway of third base. Some of those hitters don’t seem to know whether to wince or wind their watch. Drysdale turned in that type of performance Wednesday night when he pitched a three - hitter and struck out seven Pittsburgh batters in a 3-0 victory that lifted the Dodgers within one game of the National League lead. The victory was Drysdale’s 11th against six losses and those seven strikeouts increased his total to 147 in 170 2-3 inning—tops in the majors. To complete his night’s work, the 22-year-old Drysdale doubled off loser Bob Friend to drive in two runs in the seventh. The loss was Friend’s 11th in 15 decisions. The Chicago Cubs tightened their hold on fifth place with a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Braves and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-5. Rain caused postponement of the San Francisco-Philadelphia gaipe. In the American League, Washington took over fifth place and dropped Detroit to sixth by beating the Tigers, 3-0, in a game limited to five innings by ram. i-ain. also washed out a dou*m£eader between the Indians land Yankees and single games [between the White Sox and Red Sox and the Athletics and Orioles. Glen Hobbie of the Cubs checked the Braves on five hits in winning his 10th game of the season. The victory was Bobbie’s fifth straight without a defeat over the Braves during a twoyear span and it dropped Milwaukee back into third place behind tiie second-place Dodgers. Gus Bell slammed out five hits to lead Cincinnati’s 19-hit onslaught against St. Louis. Johnny Temple drove in four runs for the Reds and Frank Robinson, who hit his 24th homer, knocked in three more. Harmon Kfllebrew, the Senator’s "boy wonder,” socked ms 31st homer to help send tiie Tigers down to their 10th defeat in the last 12 games. Killebrew hit his homer in the first inning of Jim Bunning, who suffered his seventh loss against eight victories. Barry Mac Kay Upset In National Meet RIVER FOREST, 11l (UPD— Top-seeded Alex Olmedo today remained the favorite to win the National Clay Courts tennis title but second-seeded Barry Mac Kay already was among the also-rans as the tournament went into quarterfinal_X>lay.

Heavyweight Title Rematch Set Sept. 22 NEW YORK (UPD —Promoter Bill Rosensohn revealed today the "target date” for the return Ingemar Johansson-Floyd Patterson heavyweight title fight is Sept- 22 at Yankee Stadium. He cidded that the stadium could accommodate 80,000 for a sellout 3 million dollar gate. The slender young promoter disclosed his plans today while discussing "somewhat exaggerated stories” from Los Angeles earlier in the week. Those stories indicated that the big fight would be held in the City of Angels. , "Let me clear the air right now,” declared dark-haired, Llncotoesque Bill. “I hope to stage the Johansson-Patterson fight at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 22, a Tuesday—with rain dates on’Sept. 23 and 24. And I can think of nothing that will prevent it.” However, should some obstacle

develop—like an ailment or injury to either boxer—and delay the international 15-rounder until October, then he might shift it to Los Angeles or some other city where there would be less erf a weather gamble, he admitted. "Yes,” he continued, "Our target date is Sept. 22 at the stadium. Starting Sept. 21, the Yankees will be away from home until their night game of Sept. 25. And whether there is or isn’t a later World Series at the stadium, it will have no bearing on tiie

Also the city now knows the location of his main Broadway ticket office. Unbeaten Johansson of Sweden kept his explosive right fist in careful restraint while training for the June 26 title fight with Patterson at the sadium. But he unleashed the right and floored Patterson seven times in the third round for a knockout and the world championship.
