Indians Take Twin Bill To Gain On Chisox By Mil. TON RICHMAN United Press International Things are picking up for Cleveland) and the guy providing ' the big lift is Tito Francona, who began the season picking up splinters on the bench. Francona was unhappy merely sitting around and doing nothing with the Detroit Tigers this spring. So he came up with the bench-warmer’s age-old ultimatum—“play me or trade me!’’ The Tigers quickly obliged him by dealing him to the Indians on March 21 and Frank Lane has been receiving congratulations ever since. Single-handedly, the 25-year-old Francona who couldn’t even I break into the Cleveland outfield earlier this year, has won more than 15 games for the Indians so far this season. He has won three . of those games with last-inning hotners. Belta Two Homers Tito connected for his 16th homer in the ninth to beat the Red ' Sox 1-0, in the opening game of a doubleheader Sunday and then socked his 17th to help Cleveland win the nightcap, 6-2. The sweep ran the Indians' winning streak to six straight and moved them within games of the firstplace White Sox. The league-leading White Sox split a twin-bill with the Yankees, losing the opener, 7-1, but winning the nightcap, 5-0. Washington defeated Kansas City, 7-3, in the first of two games but the Athletics salvaged the second game, 5-2. Detroit beat Baltimore. 9-5, in the opener and the second game was washed out by rain. In the National League, a doubleheader between league-leading San Francisco and Philadelphia was postponed because of rain. Play was called in the fourth inning with the Giants ahead. 2-1. Pittsburgh won a pair from Los Angeles, 0-2 and 4-3 in 10 innings with relief ace Roy Face gaining his 16th straight victory in the nightcap; Milwaukee climbed into second place with a 2-0 win over Chicago, and Cincinnati topped St. Louis, 5-3. Hurls Three Hitter Art Ditmar hurled a three-hit-ter for the Yanks in their opening game triumph over Early Wynn of the White Sox. Enos (Old Folks) Slaughter broke a 1-1 tie with a pinch two-run single in the seventh. Bob Shaw scored his 13th victory in the nightcap, pitching a six-hitter and striking out six. — Camilo Pascual won his 12th game for the Senators in their opener with the A’s although a sore arm caused his departure in the seventh.

for KC. Eddie Yost's grand-slam homer and a five-for-five performance by Harvey Kuenn sparked the Tigers to victory over the Orioles. Frank Lary posted his 16th victory with Tom Morgan’s aid in the seventh. Bob Nieman hit two homers for Baltimore and then belted a third in the first inning of the nightcap, which was wiped out because of rain. Haddix Whips Dodgers Harvey ’ Haddix, who hadn’t beaten a Dodger team in four years, led the Pirates to. their opening game Wiumph over Los Angeles. Not only did he pitch a seven-hitter, but he also doubled with the bases loaded to cap a five-run rally in- the seventh. Face, who now has won 21 in a row over two seasons, entered the nightcap in relief of Vern Law in the ninth. The Pirates tied the score in the bottom of the ninth and won the game in the 10th on Dick Groat's twoout single with the bases loaded. The Braves, who moved into second place and are now four games from the top, won their game from the Cubs on only two hits. Bob Buhl held the Cubs to six hits and won his 11th. Jerry Lynch broke a 3-3 tie between the Reds and Cards with a two-run homer off loser Ernie Broglio in the eighth. Don Newcombe picked up his 12th victory, driving in two runs for Cincinnati with a single and a home run. majoh NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. G.B.

Three Rookies Star In Grid Wins For Pros I • By JOE SARGIS i United Press Internationa) It's tough taking away an “old I pro’s” job in the National Football League, but three rookies — Nick Pietrasante, George Dixon and John Aveni — gave it a try during the week end. While they didn’t exactly chase the veterans off the field, the three figured prominently in their team's exhibition victories. Pietrosante, a rugged fullback from Notre Dame, picked up 57 yards in the seven cracks at the Cleveland line to lead the Detroit Lions to a 9-3 victory over the Browns; Dixon, a scatback from the University of Bridgeport, contributed a key 97-yard kickoff return that helped the Green Bay Packers scuttle the San Francisco Forty Niners, 24-17, and Aveni, a big end from Indiana, booted a 31-yard field goal as the Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-21. Colts Kip Giants In other games, the Baltimore Colts ripped the New York Giants 28-3, before a crowd of 55,000 in the Cotton Bowl Friday night, the Washington Redskins clipped the Lx>s Angeles Rams, 23-21, before 85,888 fans in the Los Angeles Coliseum, and the Chicago Cards handed the Pittsburgh Steelers a 21-10 beating before 15,000 at Austin, Tex. Detroit’s John Henry Johnson climaxed a 65 - yard first period drive with a nine-yard scamper around left end and Jerry Perry booted a fourth period field goal that sent the Browns down to their second straight exhibition defeat at Akron, Ohio. The Packers displayed a strong attack and a good defense in beating the Forty Niners before a crowd of 18,916 at San Francisco Sunday afternoon. They scored early and late and then held off a last-minute San Francisco drive to gain their first victory in two games. Unitas Tosses 3 TD Passes Aveni’s field goal gave the Bears (2-0) a 17-0 lead in the third period and they added another goal in the final period just before Norm Van Brocklin of the Eagles exploded for three TD passes in a game at Lynn, Mass. Johnny Unitas, who worked so effectively against the Giants in the NFL title game last December, proved it was no fluke as he threw three scoring passes for Baltimore’s second straight vic- • tory. Eddie Leßaron, the smallest player in the NFL, and Johnny Olszewski combined their talents . to give the Redskins a 1-1 mark in exhibition play. The 'Skins took the lead in the second period and never trailed. King Hill’s long-range passing and snappy running plus the dazzling pass-catching of John Crow were more than the Steelers (1-1) could handle. King threw two : scoring passes to Crow and tali lied a third TD himself to give • the Cards a 3-0 record. Baseball Drills At Adams Central High Amzie Miller, head coach at Adams Central high school, announced today that baseball practice for the Greyhounds will be started at 6:30 Tuesday evening at the Adams Central diamond. All candidates for the school team are asked to report 'tomorrow evening to begin drills for the fall baseball season.

All that remains now is the laying of the cement block and the stairs and roofs for both pits. Among those who worked Saturday on a volunteer basis were: Steve Gause, Bill Conrad, Bill McColly, Jack Heller, Jim Cowens,Norm Steury, Rollie Ladd, Darrell Cookson, and Ron Morton. Continuation of the construction job will again be conducted next Saturday. Members of the club are urgently requested to put in at least one day’s work on the project. miwr \ Eastern Division W. L.

Pan American Games To Open Next Thursday I CHICAGO (UPD — The United States, trying to make amends for some of its recent international showings, marshalled its athletic prowess today for the Pan American Games. With a total of 406 athletes entered in all of the 27 sports on the program, the U.S. was a top heavy choice to win the unofficial team title from her sister American countries and regain some of the prestige lost in the last Olympic games and the world's basketball championships. A total of 24 North and South American nations entered nearly 2,200 athletes in the games opening Thursday, making it the largest sports event ever held in the U.S. In the 1932 Olympic Games at Los Angeles only 1,500 athletes took part. Yanks Enter All Events The U.S. dominated the entry list for this third renewal of the Alperica’s sports festival, naming a total of 323 men and 83 women to compete. The U.S. will be the only nation represented in every sport on the agenda for the games. Mexico was second with 191 men and 34 women and Brazil third with 184 men and 40 women. The U.S. was an easy winner of the unofficial team title in the second Pan American games held in Mexico in 1955 and figured to secure even a more lop-sided victory this time. Eager To Dominate Basketball Especially, the U.S. was eager to dominate the basketball competition to make up for its sorry showing in the world championships at Santiago, Chile, last January when it was walloped by Brazil and Russia. The 14 players on the U.S. basketball squad this year include most of last year’s outstanding college, service and AAU stars. The team is coached by Fred Schaus of West Virginia. Dr. Milton Eisenhower will pinch-hit for his brother, the President, and officially open the games on Thursday in colorful ceremonies at Soldier Field. Competition in 10 of the 27 sports on the program gets underway on Friday and will run through Labor Day, Sept. 7. Young Players See Major League Game Eighty members of the Adams Central Little League and Pony League teams were taken by bus Saturday to Cincinnati, where they saw the Reds defeat the St. Louis Cardinals, 11 to 4. Two All-Star Games Approved By Players PHILADELPHIA (UPD—Major league players are in favor of two all-star games next year—providing both games are played within a four-day period. In a vote among approximately 400 players, they approved of two All-Star games for next year only if the games were played during the same four-day break in the schedule. Researchers for a drug company found that there are nearly six times more homicide victims amoung divorced men than married men and four times more amoung widowers.

ticipated ip the tourney, and a few more attended the festivities at the “19th" hole. Australians Take National Doubles CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (UPD —U. S. Davis Cup Capt. Perry T. Jones waxed lyrical today over young Earl Buchholz while hoping Peruvian Alex Olmedo would “hit his crescendo” in this weekend’s showdown at Forest Hills, N. Y. Australia made its final call Sunday by winning the National Doubles here on the shoulders of 25-year-old Neale Fraser and 22-year-old Roy Emerson. Winner takes the pot — the top prize in tennis — starting Frida when the Aussies challenge the United States for the Davis Cup. Jones was holding his breath during the week-long doubles here, pairing the 23-year-old Olmedo, now living in Los Angeles, with the 18-year-old Buchholz. Many said it was a mistake; that Barry Mac Kay of Dayton, Ohio and the Air Force should be teamed with Olmedo. But Buchholz, a quiet, crew-cut lad from St. Louis, Mo., with more potential than an tennis youngster in years, turned the tables on just about everybody. Fraser and Emerson squeaked through to a 3-6, 6-3, 5-7, 64, 7-5 win, but it was Buchholz who carried Olmedo.

MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1959

“Buchholz was magnificent,” Jones said. “He played like an old campaigner. And he certainly took a lot of weight off my shoulders.” Jones admitted that Ohned playing was off. “Alex definitely was not playing up to his normal game,” he said. "But I think he brings his game up to a crescendo and while this match was important, it wasn't quite the same as the Davis Cup.” Wimbledon champions Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif, and Jeanne Arth of St. Paul, Minn., successfully defended their women’s doubles crown Sunday with a ho-hum victory over Maria Bueno of Brazil and Sally Moore of Bakersfield, Calif., 6-2, 6-3. Divorce rates are lowest for women with four years of college and highest for those with only one to three years of high school, according to the U.S. Office of vital Statistics. 9 to 11 P.M.
