Jack Harshman Tosses Winner For Cleveland By FRED DOWN United Press International Frank Lane may have struck it lucky again in obtaining Jack Harshman for a mere $20,000. That’s the amount the Cleveland general, manager paid the Red Sox to acquire the 32-year old left-hander who came through Thursday night in his first start to go the distance in the Indians’ 7-5 victory over the Kansas City Athletics. The win enabled the secondplace Indians to remain 2% lengths behind the Chicago White Sox who clobbered the Detroit Tigers, 9-0, for the 265th win of Early Wynn’s major league career. And it put them 9*6 games ahead of the third - place New York Yankees who suffered a 5-2 loss to the Washington Senators. Homer-Produced Runs All five Kansas City runs off Harshman resulted from homers by Bob Cerv, Zeke Bella and Dick Williams but the lean lefthander yielded a total of only seven hits and walked only one. The Indians clindhed the decision with a four-run rally in the eighth featured by doubles by Tito Francona, Jim Baxes and Woodie Held. The White Sox backed Wynn’s three-hit pitching with a 14-hit attack that included homers by Jim Landis, Bubba Phillips, Earl Tbrgeson and Sherman Lollar. Harmon Killebrew hit two douk. tiles and a single, drove in two runs and scored another as the Senators scored their second straight victory over the Yankees. Dodgers Take Over Second The Los Angeles Dodgers took over second place in the National League by shading the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6, the Cincinnati Reds downed the Milwaukee Braves, 9-8, and the Chicago Cubs hammered out a 20-9 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers piled up an early 7-1 lead for Sandy Koufax but Danny McDevitt was rushed into the game in the ninth when the Cardinals rallied for five runs to fall one short of a tie. Frank Robinson hit the firstgrand slam honjer of his career and drove ia-five, runs and. Vada Pinson harinthree hits, including a homer, to lead the Reds’ 12-hit attack that dealt Bob Buhl his eighth defeat. Rookie George Altman drove in five runs with two homers and a single and Al Dark hit a grand slam homer for the Cubs and Willie Mays, Willie Kirkland and Jackie Brandt homered for the Giants in a three-hour and 50-min-ute game that set a National League record for a nine-inning contest.

Paul Richards Signs New Orioles'Pact BALTIMORE (UPT) — Paul Richards revealed today that he rejected a five-year contract in favor of a new two-year pact to manage the Baltimore Orioles because “I don’t want the owners saddled with me for more than two years if- something happens to make them change their minds.” Richards, who signed Thursday for an estimated $45,000 a year, plus a percentage of the Orioles’ home gate over 900,000 added, “it is also possible I might not want to stay in baseball after 1961.” He insisted, however, that he has “no desire to go elsewhere.” “I have one of the best jobs in the majors,” he said. “Why should I want to change? I get along well with Lee (MacPhail) and he is a fine baseball man. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it now: I hope to remain in Baltimore until I’m through as a manager.” The Orioles, one of the big surprises of the season, are currently in fourth place and have been in the first division for the last 3% months. The team never has finished higher than fifth since it inherited the old St. Louis Browns’ franchise in 1954. ' Musial Benched By St. Louis Cardinals ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) — National League all-time great Stan Musial sat it out on the St. Louis Cardinals bench today. They told him he was getting a bit old. Cardinal general manager Bing Devine said Musial was in per-, feet agreement with the arrangement to sit out most of the season’s remainder “so we can play a lot of our younger men.” For his part, Musial said he was “very anxious” to {day in 1960. Devine said Musial could play with the Cardinals so long as he wants. “Stan is not being benched,” Devine told a hastily-called press conference just before tonight’s Cardinal - Los Angeles Dodger game. “He's fully In agreement with what we’re doing. It’s just the f*st of the : season well be playing lots of young players.” Musial, 39. 6 - time National League batting champion, second only to Mel Ott in number of alltime home runs, runs scored and runs-batted-in and to Honus Wagner in hits, all-time leader in doubles and total bases, only is hitting .261 this season. His lifetime batting average entering the season was .340—far and above the highest of any active National Leaguer. "I’m eager to play so long as I can be of help to the team,” Musial said. Over 2,50 V pa’ly Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Rademacher Wins By Technical Knockout • COLUMBUS Ga. (UPI) —Balding Pete Rademacher, the former Olympic boxing champ who tried to crack the professional ranks from the top, began a nets drive for the crown Thursday night with a technical knockout over Tommy Thompson of Washington, D.C. Rademacher announced he would begin training next week to meet Denny Benard of Ottawa Sept. 17 in Greenville, S.C. In his only other professional fights he was stopped by then-heavyweight champion Floya Patterson and later by Zora Folley. Rademacher, at 200 pounds, had things all his way against the former Marine Corps champion Thursday night. He knocked Thompson down for a six-count in the fourth round, and Thompson was unable to answer the bell at the start of the sixth. Dr. Max Anderson, ringside physician, stopped the fight after examining Thompson who had a sprained right arm and cuts under both eyes. Thompson hurt his right arm in the second round and could not use it effectively after that. Thompson, an air conditioning repairman who entered the ring at 195 pounds, staggered the 30-year-old Rademacher only once. He caught him with a right hand to_ the midsection in the fifth, and Rademacher admitted later it “shook me up.” “I felt relaxed and loose. I felt good,” Rademacher said later. “This fight was just what I wanted.” Recreation Program Closed For Summer Summer recreational activities at Worthman field will terminate today after providing physical and educational outlets for hundreds of Decatur youngsters the entire summer, according to Bob Worthman and Bill McColly, who directed the activities schedule. The shuffle board, horseshoe, and tennis facilities will continue to be open to public use, but without supervisory personnel. Anyone desiring to use these facilities, however, must provide his own equipment. Throughout the summer, hundreds of sports fans witnessed action in Little League. Morning League, Pony League, high school and American Legion baseball, besides the home games of Klenks Federation team. A Grafts class was also conducted. ■ » •%.< ■ «* w.-tV 4A <• 3R Major League Leaders United Press International Player A "Club G.ABR. H. Pct.

Colts Favored By 17 Points Over All Stars CHICAGO (UPI) — Youth and a break in weather will be going for the College All Stars tonight, but the National Football League champion Baltimore Colts stiU were 17 point favorites to win the 26th game between the pro titlists and the cream of the amateur crop. Forecasters expected a hot humid night, possibly with some thundershowers, and the younger > collegians were figured to better more from these conditions in their bid for a ninth All Star win in the series. But the college squad, coached by Otto Graham for the second straight season, will be no deeper than their pro rivals, with 49 on their squad compared to 52 in Colts uniform, and the pro’s wUI be bigger overall. Some 70,000 fans were expected to turn out for the traditional kickoff game of the football season, and the game wiU be both broadcast and telecast nationally. Both Colts Coach Weeb Ewbank and Graham listed their biggest and fastest players in their tentative starting lineups, with the Colts holding an edge in size just the same. Ewbank’s lineup was exactly the same as the team which started for the Colts and won in the championship playoff against the New York Giants last December. It had Ray Berry and Jim Mutscheller at ends, Jim Parker, 270, and George Preas, 235, at tackles. Art Spinney, 230, and Alex Sandusky, 235, at guards, Madison Nutter 235, at center, John Unitas at quarterback, Alan Ameche at fullback and L. G. Dupre and Lennie Moore, each 190, at halfback. Graham will have Lee Grosscup, Utah, at quarterback. Don Brown, Houston, and Dick Haley, Pittsburgh, at halfbacks, Nick Petrosante, Notre Dame, 225. at fullback, and Buddy Dial, Rice, and Dave Sherer, Southern Methodist, at ends. Gene Selawsky, Purdue, 248, and Fran O’Brien Michigan State, 235, at tackles Mike Rabold, Indiana, 240, and John Wooten, Colorado 230, at guards and Dan James, Ohio State, 250 at center.

tittle League Champ Yankees Honor Ladd The Little League champion Yankees presented their retiring manager, Rollie Ladd, with an inscribed plaque at the annual Yankee picnic at Hanna-Nuttman Park Thursday evening. Ladd, who is the last of the original managers, was feted at the outing, sponsored by the parents of the players. After seven years of untiring service, the dean of Decatur's Little League managers is stepping down with an enviable, if not brilliant, record. His teams have never finished in the second division, and his coaching career culminates this season ■ with the whole bag of marbles—the city championship. The family-type picnic, unique in Little League circles, also honored the boys who made up the championship squad. They in turn pointed to their teacher, counselor, and baseball-parent, with these words inscribed on the plaque. “To Bolljg Ladd from your Yankees— You taught us the game.” Gifts were also presented to each of the team’s coaches, Fred Hoffman, Bob Hoffman and Ron Morton. Ladd expressed his appreciation to team members and parents for their cooperation during the years, and presented each member of this year's team with a trophy, inscribed with the player's name and “Yankees, 1959 Little League champions."

Some Schools Open Grid Drill Saturday INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)— Those extra pounds put on during the offseason will melt in a hurry in the hot August sun when practice for the 1959 Indiana high school football season opens Saturday. Most teams will have about three weeks to prepare for the new campaign. Howver, a few scattered games will be played in the last week of August. For some, actual practice won't start until Monday. But a lot of eager beavers, ignoring the weather,' will practice on the first day organized workouts are permitted by the Indiana High School Athletic-. Association. The IHSAA figured at least 196 schools will play 11-man football. Thaicwould be a gain of two over last season. New are Turky Run, a epnsplidatd school composd of Bloomingdale, Marshall and Tangier and Rex Mundi at .Evansville,, that city's third Catholic prqo, f.chool. . . I There also were 8 8-man football teams in Hoosierland last year and 14 playing 6-man football for Ji grand total of 216 teams—bouLjS.OOO players. “We won’t Know for sure how we’ll have that field in,” said Robert Hinshaw, IHSAA assistant commissioner. However, he he knew of no dropouts from last year. Twb significant rule changes or modifications are effective this fall: It now is mandatory for an injured or “apparently injured” player to be removed from th field, with the official authorized to stop the clock for that purpose. In the past, a seemingly injured player could stay in the game. The safety factor was agreed upon mainly to give a coach more time to decide if his player should go back into the game. Also, penalties for unsportsmanlike ponduct by players, students or “anyone connected with the school” will be called promptly. The fine is stiff Tor the offending team—ls yards. South Bend Central, unbeaten and untied in 10 games, was voted last year's mythical state champion by the United Press International board of coaches. Last year’s top individual scorer is only a junior this year. He is halfback Tom Grissom, who scored 147 points for Brazil.

High Court Steps In IHSAA Case INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Supreme Court stepped into a much-publicized high school athletic eligibility case today at the request of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. The high court issued a temporary restraining order against Lawrence Circuit Court, preventing the lower court and Special Judge Lester Nixon of Petersburg from effecting further action in the case of Billy Joe and Frank Stevenson versus the IHSAA The two lanky Negro boys were barred by the IHSAA from athletic competition after they transferred to Seymour High School last year from Joppa, 111. The IHSAA took the action when its investigation showed "undue influence" was used to lure the boys and their family to Indiana. The high court order, signed byChief Justice Harold Achor, gives Lawrence Circuit CoqrJ until Sept. 10 to show cause whX the order should not become permanent. Attorneys for the IHSAA said if.the order becomes permanent, the IHSAA will have defeated th two lanky players’ bid to regain eligibility. They contended Lawrence Circuit Court has no jurisdiction in the case because the IHSAA is a “voluntary association composed of non-governmental and unofficial groups” and is not supported by public funds. In a brief filed with the high court, the attorneys said “if the IHSAA is requred to submit to such illegally assumed jurisdiction even for the purpose of trial, the IHSAA is required to submit to having a continuous running court battle over all official decisions.” The hassle started last winter when the boys obtained a temporary restraining order against the IHSAA. Nailing Hint Here’s a good rule to remember when you're not sure just what length of nail to use: Use nails three times as long as the board being nailed is thick.
