Junior Legion Tourney Won By Ligonier Ligonier won the fourth district Junior American Legion title Sunday, handing Decatur its second loss, 13-9, in the double elimination tournament at Ligonier. Ligonier bested Decatur on Saturday by a 10-1 count, but Decatur knocked Orland out with an easy 4-1 victory as John Cowan and Harley Wolfe scattered four hits. Orland then joined Columbia City and Angola as tourney dropouts. ”, The Orland coach said that he didn’t feel his team was in Ligonier’s class. Decatur then met Ligonier again on Sunday afternoon. Faced with a 37-strikeout record in the first two games, 17 against Ligonier and 20 against a fluffy Orland chucker, the local lads took the field with a vengeance against Ligonier's Bob Frick, Ford Frick’s nephew, knocking him out of the box in the second inning, scoring six runs on six hits and two walks. Poor base running cut down any chance of further scoring. Tom Grabill started for Decatur Sunday, when Cowan came up with a sore arm after pitching seven tight innings on Saturday. Grabill fell victim to questionable fielding by the infield and base calls by the umpire. Jerry Gillig turned in the best relief job of the tourney as he allowed only one earned run in the five innings he worked. Ligonier tallied five times in this span but miscues told the story. Counting two more in the fourth inning, Decatur again wasted base runners as only two tallied on four straight hits, including Jim Gay’s booming double far over the left fielder’s head. Wolfe scored Gay with his only non-extra base hit of the game. He added three doubles to his toils as centerfielder and pitchyr. But Wolfe had his troubles on the hill. Lfgonier greeted him like a long, lost cousin, seeking jfivtTtimes in"toe eighth on' siic hits and a walk as they batted around Butch Burns, who beat the local team in the first tourney game while on the mound, added insult to injury by lining a bullet to the center field checken fence for a homer in the top of the ninth. Decatur rallied briefly in the bottom of the inning, but fell far short. In the opener against Ligonier, Decatur collected only three hits, two by Deny Ahr, and one by Steve Blythe. Blythe scored as he stole second after his single, took third on Burns' balk, and

walked in on Ahr’s first hit of the fourth. Ligonier knocked off 12 hits against Wolfe, Kleinknight, Gillig and Grabill. John Cowan proved a formidable asset against Orland in the second match as he allowed only two hits, struck out nine, and gave up an unearned run. Decatur used its three hits to advantage scoring four times, ala the Chicago White Sox. A dropped third strike, a walk, a double steal, and a hit by Grabill scored two men. He tallied on Gay’s line double to center. The first run came home on Waldo Snyder’s a passed ball and Cowan’s single through the middle. The activity concluded Decatur’s baseball efforts for the summer.

White Sox Up Loop Lead To Three Gaines By FRED DOWN United Press International Thirty shapes up today as the ’’magic number” which could give the Chicago White Sox their first pennant in 40 years. That National League race is still as tight as a can of sardines but 11 victories in their last 12 games have the White Sox going... going... and perhaps very soon “gone” in the American League race. The red-hot White Sox stretched their latest winning streak to six games and opened up a threegame lead Sunday when they swept a doubleheader from the Washington Senators, 3-2 and 9-3. The losses stretched the Senators’ losing streak to 16 games—two short of their club record and four shy of a league mark share by three teams. With 52 games left, the White Sox can reach the 92 - victory mark by winning 30 games and losing 22 for a .577 pace. The second - place Cleveland Indians then would have to go at a .640 pace to tie. The New York Yankees? A mere 42 out of 52 or .808 would be enough to tie. No Break in NL There’s no sign of a major break in the National League where the San Francisco Giants retained their half - game lead with a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh Sunday. The Los Angeles Dodgers moved back into second with a 4-3 decision over the Philadelphia Braves and the Milwaukee Braves are only a game behind San Francisco despite their split with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals won the first triumph. The Indians bounced back from a 5-4 10-inning loss to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-3, the Yankees downed the Kansas City Athletics, 7-5, and the Boston Red Sox scored a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers in other AL games. Se Cincinnati Reds beat the icago Cubs, 2-0, in the other NL game. The White Sox scored their 26th one-run victory of the season when they tallied two runs in the ninth inning of their opener and then breezed to an easy win in the nightcap with the help of key doubles by John Romano and Bubba Phillips. . , Rookie sensation Willie McCov-ey-did hbmer and Willie Mays did it for a change with a clutch double as the Giants handed the Pirates their 12th setback in 14 games. Homers Kayo Phillies Homers by Duke Snider and Charlie Neal were the big blows for the Dodgers who rallied for three runs in the fifth to give reliever Larry Sherry his second win. Ken Boyer singled for his fourth hit and then went the rest of the way around the bases on errors by Hank Aaron and pitcher Don McMahon as the Cardinals pulled out a ninth-inning win over Milwaukee. The Braves came back in the nightcap with a 12-hit attack. . o Tito Francona, who went 7-for-8 and raised his average to .416 during the doubleheader, hit a three-run ninth-inning homer to give Cleveland’s Gary Bell his 11th win in the nightcap. The Orioles won the first game m 10 innings when rookie Barry Shetr rone tallied from third ona “Baltimore chop single by Willie Miranda. , Elston Howard drove m four runs with a double and two singles and Yogi Berra had three singles to lead the Yankees 11hit attack. Jackie Jensens three - run eighth-inning homer brought tne Red Son from behind and gave Ike Delock his seventh win after Paul Joytack carried g five-hitter into the ninth. Rookie Jay Hook and veteran Brooks. Lawrence combined in a five-hitter as the Reds won their sixth game in seven starts. White Sox Call Up Indianapolis Hurler INDIANAOPLIS (UPD-Ken McBride, ■ hot-shot pitcher for the Indianapolis Indians, has been called up by the Chicago White Sox to bolster their American League pehnant hopes. The ace righthander compiled an 11-5 record in American Association baseball. He had an earnedrun average of 2.79. Indianapolis general manager Ray Johnston said Hal Trosky, Jr., will be .sent to replace Mcßride on the Indians’ roster.

2nd All-Star Game Tonight In Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (UPD — The second All-Star classic of 1959 will be played in the Los Angeles Coliseum today—but just who will be playing is a mystery. One thing for certain: Don Drysdale, speed-ball merchant of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be on the mound for the National League. But: Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves win sit this one out and Ken Boyer of the St. Louis Cards will play third base for the Natipnals. Mathews has a hip injury: Ryen Duren, scheduled to start on the mound for the Americans, is a “very doubtful” starter, according to manager Casey Stengel because he pitched three and pitched three and two-thirds innings Sunday for the Yankees against Kansas City. Injury Sidelines Cepeda Orlando Cepeda, first baseman in the first AU-Star clash won by the Nationals at Pittsburgh, 5-4, withdrew because of a wrist injury. Gus Triandos, Baltimore catcher withdrew because of an injured hand. Sunday the American League squad lost Harvey Kuenn of Detroit and Gil McDougald of New York, scratched because of ailments, and they were replaced by Tony Kubek and Bobby Richardson. both of the Yankees. Earlier the Yankees’ Bil Skolwron injured his hand and was repaced by Elston Howard. But there will be stars galore, headed by ageless Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox and Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals on the field. Manager Fred Haney of the National League, which whipped the Americans, 5-4, earlier this year, will return with just about the same line-up that he used in Pittsburgh. National Lineup Same Haney is using Johnny Temple at second; Boyer at third; Hank Aaron, right field; Willie Mays, center field; Ernie Banks, short-j stop; Musial, first base; Wally Moon, left field; Del Crandall, catcher. And they’ll bat in that order. The American League line-up goes: first base, Pete Runnels; second base, Nelie Fox; left field, Williams;catcher, Yogi Berra; center field, Mickey Mantle; right field, Roger Maris; third base, Frank Malzone; shortstop, Luis Aparicio. This is the first All-Star game in history ever to be played in the West—but the fans didn’t take to it the way It had been hoped. The heat wave, plus television, will be keeping many of them at home—possibly leaving the least 40,000 seats empty in the Giant Stadium. And some of the players don’t care for the show, either. Temple said Sunday in Cincinnati that
