DHS Hits Hard

Opening Di ills Sparkle; Veteran Tackle Injured

Opening drills of Decatur high school's football team were marred by the injury to veteran tackle Chuck Krueckeberg as the Yellow Jackets were put through stiff paces by head coach. Bob Worthman yesterday at Worthman field. Two drills were called with the morning session centered on physical fitness work-outs, while the stops were pulled in the late afternoon practice as contact drills highlighted the young season. Play at Jamboree Pointing towards the opening play at Huntington on Sept. 1 in the Huntington Jamboree, Worthman put his charges through a full schedule of practice, starting with the usual calisthentics and ending with tackling and blocking skirmishes. Krueckeberg, expected to fill one of the offensive tackle slots this fall, recurred an old knee injury Bratkowski Surprise At Quarterback United Press International Zeke Bratkowski, expected to lake a backseat to Ed Brown, will be a surprise starter at quarterback Saturday when the Chicago Bears take on the Philadelphia Eagles in an exhibition game. Coach George Halas admitted he was forced to change his mind when Bratkowski, former University of Georgia star, completed 10 of 12 passes against the Green Bay Packers last Saturday. The climax to Bratkowski’s great exhibition was a 37-yard pass to Rick Casares with 41 seconds to go that gave the Bears a 19-16 victory. Halas will alternate Brown and Rudy Bukich in the second half of the Eagle tilt at Lynn, Mass., with Bukich likely to get a starting slot in the Aug. 29 contest with the Pittsburgh al Houstam Tsmfe,.

Worthman seemed pleased with the showing of several of the lesser lights. Without singling any names, he said, “A couple of those unheard of candidates are really bearing down, trying for a starting position. If this keeps up, a few of the veterans, who think they have jobs sewed up, may come to a sudden awakening. All of which is good for the team.”

Old Redhead Baek In Braves Uniform

MILWAUKEE (UPI) — Second bqkeman Red Schoendienst is back in a Milwaukee Braves uniform and taking batting practice with the club, but he admits he is aiming for the lineup “next spring" instead of this fall. The Redhead took his first workout with the club Monday night since he was sidelined with tuberculosis last fall. Schoendienst said his doctor is opposed to his playing this year but has assured him he “can do everything” next spring that “I’ve ever done before." “Yes, next year,” the star second baseman said, although be admitted he didn’t know if he might pop up in the linkup as the season closes out' Ja|e in September. “Well, it could be,” he said when asked if, say Sept. 27, closing day, he might pinch hit. Although this would require the Braves to take him off special disabled status, Schoendienst said he expected to tag along with the club the rest of the year, possibly leaving him able to step in before the season ends. Manager Fred Haney said he has no idea when Schoendienst will return to the roster. “It’s up to the doctor. When the doctor Says he’s ready, then he’l come back.” Asked about the possibility of Schoendienst seeing pinch hitting duty, Haney replied, “We’ll wait until that comes up,” first workout in County Stadium. Heavy runing is still out. “My FIGHTERS IN “FINE SHAPE” PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Unbeaten Von Clay of Philadelphia and fourth-ranked light heavyweight Sonny Ray of Chicago were pronounced in “fine shape” by Dr. Alfred Ayella Monday for the nationally televised *bout Friday night.

Showing Promise Jerry Leitz, who is assisting Worthman with the linemen, also commented on the showing of several of the comparatively newcomers. “Those kids are certainly enjoying this contact work. They really seem to like the old game,” he added. Two-a-day sessions will continue as long as Worthman feels the team is lacking good balance. Once they attain a measure of confidence and polished play, the pressure will be off, and they can setl tie down to one-a-day drills, Worthman said.

doctors don’t want me to overtire myself,” he explained. “Right now he <Dr. William A. Werner) has given me permission to do a little running. But I won’t be in shape for any kind of play this season.” New Pony League To Be Organized Boys 12 and 13 years of age from St. Mary’s and Blue Creek townships will meet at the Pleasant Mills school building Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., to organize a Pony League baseball team for next year. If enough boys are interested, the fourth baseball team, sponsored by the Pleasant Mills Lions club, will be organized. “We feel that with the interest and response we have received in the past, we should attempt to accomodate all the boys and enlarge this community project,” Luther Sovine, one of the coaches commented today. Bill Gaunt, a 1948 graduate of Decatur high school and a star athlete, is assisting Lion club members Luther Sovine, A. J. Davison, Raymond Ehrsham, and .Bob Davis with the teams. ! Last year the newly' organized Pleasant Mills Lions club felt the community needed summer sports activity for the young boys, and during the summer of 1958, sponsored supervised baseball, which was well received, Sovine said.

Flag Up To Sam

United Press International Sad Sam Jones is piling up plenty of overtime work in the San Francisco Giants’ bid for the National League pennant. Manager Bill Rigney called on the toothpick - chewing righthander again Monday night at Cincinnati and Sad Sam came through with two innings of hitless ball to preserve a 6-3 victory over the Reds. It was Jones’ third pitching appearance in San Francisco’s last four games and enabled the Giants to open a three-game lead over the second-plce Los Angeles Dodgers, who split a twilightnight doubleheader at Milwaukee. Jobes pitched seven innings at Chicago last Friday, took Saturday off and then relieved against the Cubs Sunday. He was back in the bullpen Monday night and got a hurry-up call from Rigney after the Giants broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run burst in the top of the eighth. Saves Miller’s Win The rubber-armed veteran breezed through the last two innings to save Stu Miller’s seventh victory of the season against six losses. The Braves, opening an important five-game set against Los Angeles and San Francisco this week, rolled to an 8-1 victory over the Dodgers in the first game of their twinbill but lost the second game, 4-3, on a seventh inning homer by Don Zimmer.

By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) said today he would seek to include baseball in a new bill to jrant exemptions from c e r tai ft’antitrust laws to professional football, basketball, and hockey. ‘ The new measure was introduced in the Senate Monday. It would ignore baseball. Keating said the new bill fads to protect “the sport (baseball) which most needs to be protected.” The New York Republican said he would offer an amendment in the Senate Judiciary Committee to include baseball in the measure. Introduction, of th new bill by sponsors of two rival Senate sports bills was viewed as indicating that a strong attempt may

Keating said, however, that there would be opposition unless baseball is included. i Fundamental Game Differences ‘•1716 bill will have my opposition,” Keating declared, “and I will try to enlist the opposition of all lovers of the game (of baseball).” Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), • hairman of a Senate a n ti-trust subcommittee which has held hearings on the subject, introduced the new legislation for himself and Sens. Everett M.

■ erations of the game of baseball from the games of football, baske'ball and hockey. / “The operation difference stems from the fqct that in the game of professional baseball » minor league problem exists which, does not exist in the other sports.” The subcommittee has been unable to arrive at an o v er-all bill dealing with a.n professional team sports, including baseball, Kefauver said. Draft Clarification Attempt Dirksen and Hennings originally proposed giving a broad a n ti-trust exemption to all four organized sports. Kefauver sponsored a measure to grant a more limited exemption to the four. In offering the new bill, Kefauver commented th a t supreme court decisions have given baseball an anti-trust immunity not accor<ied to the others. He said the new measure was designed to “correct the inequity which has been created.” The bill would specifically permit football, basketball and hockey to make rules and regulations governing team strength, and the selection, reservation and assignment of player contracts. That provision would seem to clear away a n y legal cloud over draft procedures and the contract clauses which kepe players tied to the team which originally signs them. The bill also would allow teams in the three sports to exercise exclusive franchise rights within five miles of its field rink or court. The exclusive jurisdiction would apply, however, only in cities with a population larger than two million.
