Red Sox And Indians Win In Little League The tail-enders had their night in the Decatur Little League Tuesday at Worthman field, as the Red Sox walloped the Senators, 17-2, and the Indians scored their second victory of the season by downing the Tigers, 7-3. The Red Sox romped to eight runs in the first inning and after scoring only one in the second, came back with eight more to swamp the Senators in the opener, cut to four innings by the league’s runs-ahead rule. The winners had 13 hits and were aided by six errors. The Indians scored all the runs they needed with four in the first frame, then added two in the second and one in the fourth of the nightcap. The Tigers, limited to one hit by B. Blythe, tallied single runs in the second, third and fifth frames. Another double header is scheduled Friday night, with the White Sox meeting the Senators at 6:30 p. m., followed by the Yankees and Red Sox. Regular league play will close next Tuesday, when games rained out July 17 will be played. In next Tuesday's action, the Red Sox meet the Tigers at 6:30 p. m., followed by the Indians and White Sox.

Lewton and his deputies. This figure is up to date as of July 28. Residents and non-residents have access to - five separate licenses, which serve the specific needs of citizens and visitors to die county’s likes, rivers, streams and fields. The resident hunting, fishing, and traping license heads the most popular list, as 1,818 licenses in this category have been sold. The price for this catch-all license is «-5°- i. ■' The female fishing license, which sells for a dollar less than the mffte license listed above, attracted 297 feminine anglers to the court house office. The remaining 82 licenses are about equally divided between the non-resident hunting, fishing, and trapping license, which sells for sl6, or $13.50 more than the resident fee for a similar privilege: the non-resident 14-day fishing license, selling for $2.50, or the same price a resident can get the catch-all. license for the entire year, and the annual non-resident fishing license, which costs $3.50. While the licenses are selling about as fast as the fishermen claim they pull their catches out of the water. Lewton says the supply is unlimited. His reference here is to licenses, not

White Sox Edge Yanks, Regain American Lead By FRED DOWN United Press International The White Sox aren’t the hitless wonders of long ago but they still make one run go a long way. They’ve scored fewer runs than any other American League team except Baltimore but they’re back in first place by a half-game today because their pitching and defense win the close ones. They’re streaking now with six wins in their last seven games—and five of the victories were by one run. What’s- more they’ve compiled a 24-5 mark in one-run games and are only 14 shy of the AL record for one-run victories in a single season. They came through with one of their most important decisoins of the season Tuesday night when Billy Pierce’s sturdy pitching and Al Smith’s two-run eighth - inning homer produced a 4-3 win over floundering New York Yankees. A crowd of 43,829—largest of the season in Chicago’s C o m i s ke y Park —saw the White Sox dump the world champions into fifth place. Indians Drop To Second The Cleveland Indians slipped back into second place when they lost, 8-4, after beating the Boston Red Sox, 5-2 the Kansas City A’s stretched their winning streak to a major league season high of nine by beating the Washington Senators, »6-l, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Orioles, 8-3, in other AL games. The Los Angeles Dodgers climbed within a half-game of the National League lead when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. 9-4, and the Philadelphia Phillies shaded the San Francisco Giants, 3-2. The Chicago Cubs nipped the Milwaukee Braves, 5-4, and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-4. Gary Bell pitched a six-hitter and Jim Baxes hit his 13th homer for the Indians in their opener but then homers by Frank Malzone and Pete Runnels led the Red Sox to their nightcap victory. Kucks Throws 5-Hitter The Athletics went past the Yankees into fourth place only a half game behind the Orioles behind the five-hit pitching of Johnny Kucks. Don Mossi pitched a three-hit-ter to win his ninth game for the Tigers who racked up Hoyt ■Wilhelm for six runs in.? 1-3 innings, Gail Harris had four singles and Neil Cnrisley homered for Detroit. The Dodgers dealt the Pirates their eighth straight setback with an 11-hit attack that featured a homer and double by Wally Moon in addition to doubles by Norm Larker and Don Demeter. Gene Frese’s eighth-inning homer produced the Phillies’ seventh win in eight games as Jim Owens pitched a four-hitter and struck out seven Giants. > George Altman singled home the winning run in the sixth inning as the Cubs snapped the Braves’ five-game winning streak. Roy McMillan, back in 4he starting lineup for the first time since June 14, singled home the winning run in the eighth inning after the Reds overcame St. Louis’ early lead by scoring four runs in the seventh.

I- ■ , Newl2-Team Pro Football Loop Planned NEW YORK (UPD — A former professional football star who is “involved” in creating a new major pro football league disclosed today that the loop, tentatively named the “Trans-America Conference,” hopes to begin operation next year with 12 teams. Travis Tidwell, former New York Giant passing ace, said the new league would be “just as representative as the National Football League, with teams from : coast to coast and Miami to New i York.” Existence of plans for a new > pro Ibotball league was revealed . Tuesday by Bert Bell, commissioner of the NFL, in testimony , in Washington, D,C., before, a SexjsuWhmittee whldtTs fendncting hearings on anti-trust bills relating to pro sports.,, Bell said the NFL would “welcome” the new loop. Bell said the league probably would start with teams from Houston, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, Dallas, and Los Angeles, and said other possible members are Louisville, Boston, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco and Buffalo. Tidwell, who is vacationing here, stressed that he could “not speak for the league or as representative of the league.” “But I can tell you we are making definite plans to play in 1960," he said. > Tidwell, 34-year-old Birmingham, Ala., estate counselor who starred at quarterback for Auburn, said that the league as first discussed had been called the “Mid-America Professional Football League.” “But it has mushroomed beyond that now and is truly national in scope,” he said. Tidwell said the league would | haveu a “minimum” of 10 teams and “probably” 12, divided into two divisions. Tidwell declined to identify any| of the cities being considered “be-J cause everybody has to be considered” or any of the persons involved in the promotion. But he said that '‘some of the same people” who are behind the new Continental major baseball league are backing the new pro football league. “Our plans have been delayed because of the basebal league,” he said, “on the theory of first things first.” '

Baseball Czar To Testify At Senate Hearing WASHINGTON (UPD — Senate subcommittee planned to question Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick at length today on how the proposed third major league would fit into the structure of organized baseball. Plans for the third circuit, to begin in 1961, were announced Monday in New York by William Shea on the eve of the Senate anti-trust and monopoly subcommittee’s first hearing on bills to give major professional team sports at least partial exemption from the anti-trust laws. Frick was called to give baseball’s official views on two differing legislative proposals, one by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) and the other by subcommittee Chairman Estes Kefauver (D---tenn.). Organized sports leaders last year backed a similar bill by Keating which passed the House but died in the Senate. The New York Republican’s measure would exempt professional baseball, basketball, hockey and football from the antitrust laws except in their business aspects. Kefauver’s bill would place baseball under the anti-trust laws on the saame basis with the other three sports. But it would exempt the strictly non-business aspects xof the sports, Including their rights of contract with players. However, Kefauver proposes a limit of 80 on the number of players any team could keep under its control and would make any agreements to limit radio-tel-evision broadcasts subject to approval by the Federal Comntunications Commission. Pro football Commissioner Bert Bell Tuesday endorsed the Keating bill and the main provisions of Kefavuer’s proposal. But he objected to a Kefauver proposal to require written consent of athletes before they could be drafted and also the broadcasting section.
