White Sox Singling Way To First Pennant
United Press International The Whle Sox are working on their first pennant in 40 years and brother, they're doing it the hard way— almost entirely with singles. • When it comes to hitting home runs, the White Sox are low men on the American League totem pole, but when it comes down to winning games on singles, they can give lessons to everyone. That’s their particular specialty and they demonstrated it for the umpteenth time this season when they defeated the Senators, 5-4. Friday night to preserve their 2% game lead over the second place Indians. The White Sox collected nine hits in their win over Washington. Eight of those hits were singles. The only extra base blow was a double by Bubba Phillips. Pinch - hitter John Romano's single with the. bases loaded in the sixth inning put the White Sox ahead, 4-3, and singles by Jim Landis and Phillips sandwiched around an infield out produced what proved to be the winning run in the seventh. Gerry Staley, who worked only one inning in relief of starter Dick Donovan, picked up his seventh victory. Chuck Stobbs was the loser. Tigers Beat Red Sox The Indians blanked the Orioles 5-0; the Tigers beat the Red Sox 2-0. and the Yankees defeated the Athletics, 9-7, in other A.L. games. The Giants increased their National League lead to 2% games with a twi-night sweep over the Phillies. 6-0 and 10-6; die Dodgers edged the Pirates, 6-5; the Reds topped the Cardinals, 2-1, and rain washed out the Braves-Cubs’ game with Chicago leading 1-0 in the third inning. Southpaw Jack Harshman, a Baltimore discard, held his former Oriole teammates to three hits in pitching Cleveland to victory. The Indians, who had not beaten Skinny Brown in more than a year, scored four runs off him in the first inning to clinch the outcome. Jim Baxes’ double with the bases loaded sparked the rally. . .... Paul Foytack’s four - hit pitching and Al Kaline’s two-run home run led Detroit to victory over Boston. Foytack struck out eight batters in winning his 12th game and Kaline took care of all die scoring when he hit his 22nd home run with Harvey Kuenn on base in the third inning. Victim of Kaline’s homer was Bill Monbouquette, who suffered his fifth loss. Lopes Got Four Hite Hector Lopez rapped out four hits against his ex-Kansas City teammates in helping the Yanks to their victory. One of Lopez’ hits was his 18th homer with one man aboard. Duke Maas, another KC grad, pitched the first five innings and was credited with his 12th win. Bob Turley hurled effectively in relief but Ryne Duren with the bases loaded for the final out of the game. Rip Coleman |eALLU4F6HXU - | YOUR CLEANING GET YOUR WARDROBE READY FOR SCHOOL and COLLEGE!

1 had to get Roger Maris to pop up 1 with the bases loaded for the final • out of the game. Rip Coleman ■ was the loser. Left-handers Johnny Antonelli ’ and Mike McCormick pitched the 1 Giants to their double-header 1 sweep over the Phillies. Antonelli ’ scored his 17th victory and fourth shutout with an eight - htiter to beat Robin Roberts in the opener. The Giant southpaw also contributed a homer, McCormick ained his 11th triumph in the nightcap although he wilted in the 90-degree heat and needed relief from Stu Miller in the seventh. The Giants broke the game open with a seven-run rally in the fourth, highlighted by Wiilie MeCovey’s two-run triple. Ray Semproch was the loser. Dodgers Rallied The Dodgers had to come from behind with a four-run rally in the seventh to beat the Pirates. Pinch singles by Gil Hodges and Duke Snider formed the nucleus of the raly that gave Los Angeles a 5-3 lead. The winners added their final run in the ninth when pinch hitter Carl Furillo grounded out with the bases loaded. Johnny Podres posted his 11th win and Ronnie Kline suffered his 12th loss. Bonus baby Jay Hook stopped the Cardinals on five hits in posting his third triumph for the Beds. The only run he allowed I was a first inning omer by Joe Cunningham.

64 Candidates Report For Junior High A staggering total of 64 junior high candidates reported to the first meeting of the season yesterday nt Worthman field in preparation for the opening of the practice sessions on Monday at 4:30 p.m. at the field. Vaisity coach Bob Worthman addressed the boys, saying, “it takes a man to play football.” He also pointed to Decatur’s past record on the gridiron, asking, “Are the boys here weaker than the boys in other towns; are they more sissified; are they more afraid?” The pep talk stirred up quite a lot of interest as the youths chorused “no" to Worthman’s queries. After Worthman's talk, Jim Cowens explained what will be asked of the boys during the coming season. He told of the practice schedule, which will be daily at 4:30 p. m., and of the two home games against junior high teams from New Haven and Columbia City. He asked the boys to point toward those games as the big ones of the year. After handing in their health certificates, the boys who had not been issued equipment received what remained after the first onslaught nearly depleted the equipment room. Haiti Archbishop Ordered Arrested PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (UPD —"Die Haitian government Thursday night ordered the arrest of R«.Tian Catholic Archbishop Francois Poirier for criticizing the expulsion of two priests. There was no immediate indication whether the arrest had been carried out. (The expelled priests, the Revs. Etienne Grinenberger and Joseph Marrec, arrived at Idlewild Airport in New York Thursday night and said the Haitian government had begun a campaign against the church.) The two priests, both French nationals as is the archbishop, were ordered out of the country earlier this week. I A brief government announcement said merely that the action was taken "to preserve public order.” t When the expulsion was aite nounced, catholics assembled at the Port au Prince cathedral to pray for them. President Francois Duvalier’s police waded into the group and broke it up. Many were arrested. Archbishop Poirier promptly published a communique in the Catholic daily newspaper La Phalange criticizing the government for expelling the priests without even holding a formal hearing which other members of the clergy could attend. He called on all Catholics to pray for the rest of the priests still left in Haiti. The government ordered his arl- - on charges that he violated the penal code which forbids religious authorities from criticizing or censuring the government. Conviction could carry possible imprisonment of one to three years.

Third Football League Seek Players, Fans
DALLAS, Tex. (UPD — The American Football League set out today to form the framework upon which it will try to compete with the long - established National Football League for player personnel and the lifeblood of pro sports — public patronage. Monied interests from New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver and Minneapolis - St Paul sat f down with Dallas backer Lamar Hunt, the son of fabulously wealthy oilman H. L. Hunt and the man who took it upon himself to organize a rival for the NFL’s lucrative drawing power. They scheduled a two hour morning session then started a luncheon at which the press was given the privilege of asking questions — some of which might be Heal, Humidify Until Wednesday An enervating hot air mass continued to dominate the Indiana weather today and forecasters indicated that, if anything, it’s going to get worse instead of better. With no slightest hint in the long-range predictions that the warm moist air now prevailing will be shoved aside in favor of cooler temperatures and lower humidity, the Weather Bureau saw nothing but shimmery heat at least through the middle of next week. The five-day forecast called for temperatures averaging about 10 j degrees above normal north and about 8 degrees above normal south with little day-to-day change in temperatures through next Wednesday. Since normal highs this time of year are 79 to 84 north and 84 to 88 south, and normal lows are 59 to 62 north and 62 to 69 south, the prospect was for daily high readings of 92 to 96 south and 89 to 94 north, and nightly lows of 69 to 72 north and 70 to 77 south. The five-day outlook indicated only a pittance of precipitation during the period with an average of less than one-tenth of an inch for any given area, although a few isolated afternoon or evening thundershowers were expected almost daily. Th mercury crested Thursday between 87 at Lafayette and 92 at South Bend, with Smith Bend's top reading again higher than Evansville’s 91. The Louisville area recorded 94. Overnight lows were in the muggy 70s except for Lafayette’s 69. Highs in the 90s were due all around the state today, Saturday and Sunday with lows generally in the 70s. Generally fair skies were expected.

difficult to answer. The embryo league can waste no times in drawing its battle lines.
