Chicago White Sox Win First Flag In 40 Years; Braves Leading National

By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International The Chicago White Sox are “in" and the neighboring Milwaukee Braves may be joining them soon to set up modern-day baseball's closest approach to the old-time nickel World Series. It costs only $2.31 (tax included* to travel by bus from Chicago to Milwaukee, about 85 miles away, and that path looks more and more like the one fans will be shuttling on during World Series time. The White Sox did their part by clinching their first American League pennant in 40 years with a 4-2 victory over the Indians Tuesday night, and the Braves took a big step in the same general World Series direction when they defeated the Pirates, 5-3, to move a full game ahead in the National League. There were several standouts in the White Sox’ clincher. Al Smith and Jim Rivira supplied the muscle with sixth inning homers. Early Wynn, who won his 21st game, and Bob Shaw held the battling Indians in tow over the first B’6 innings. Then when Cleveland loaded the bases in the ninth, sinkerbailer Gerry Staley sauntered in from the bullpen, delivered one pitch and got Vic Power to hit into a game-ending double play. Left Club As Manager It was a sweet triumph for Al Lopez, who had finished second the past four years, twice as manager of the Indians and the last two years with the White Sox. But it was a bitter defeat for Joe Gordon of the Indians, who officially left tite club as manager the instant the final out was made. Pitching coach Mel Harder will lead the Tribe in their remaining four games. » The Braves’ victory over the Pirates moved them a game ahead of the Dodgers and two in front of the fading Giants. The Cardinals knocked the Dodgers out of a first-place tie by beating them, 11-10, and the Cubs downed the Giants, 5-4. The Phillies swept a tw'-nighter from the Reds, 3-1 and 3-2. Southpaw Juan Pizarro, credited with his sixth victory, helped the Braves as much with his bat as he did with his pitching arm. Ordinarily a weak hitter. Pizarro blooped a two-run double just inside the left field foul line to highlight a three-run seventh inning rally against loser Harvey Haddix. Pizarro yielded only six hits during the eight innings hy worked and Don McMahon yielded two more in the ninth. Del Crandall hit his 21st homer for Milwaukee, which now can clinch at least a tie for the pennant by winning three of its four remaining games. *Die Dodgers went down fighting. Rookie Frank Howard’s pinch three-run homer in the ninth drew them to within one run of the Cardinals but reliever Lindy McDaniel got Junior Gilliam on an infield out to wind up the struggle.

Harvey Kuenn’s three-run homer powered Detroit to its victory over Kansas City. Jim Btinning hurled 5% innings, enough to earn him his 17th victory. Rookie Ken Johnson was the loser.

All-Night Victory Jag By White Sox Backers

CHICAGO (UPD—The victory jag went on all night and into the dawn in the horn-blowing, sirensounding Windy City today. From the “world’s busiest corner" at State and Madison, where ; some young celebrants were ush- > ered into a paddy wagon, to the j far suburbs an beyond, this was I the day to remember. i This was the proud day after the glorious night when the go-go Sox brought the American League pennant, the first in 40 long years, to the folks back home. A few of ’ the oldsters remembered that the last one was garnered by a team ' which later became the "Black Sox," but who cared about that gang 40 years ago? The cork popped, emotionally and physically, at 10:43 p.m. e.d.t. 1 Tuesday night, when the Sox 1 clinched the pennant at Cleveland. Out came Chicagoans, from the bars an homes and clubs where they had clustered by radios and watched TV screens. The glare of headlights brightened the streets. Champagne bubbled in the far north suburbs. Beer cans and bottles were waved aloft on the South : Side* where some old folks could i recall how that some members of that former pennant-winning team threw a World Series to Cincinnati ■ back in 1919. and where the old and young alike had waited for someone like “Nellie,’’ “Looie?’ and their mates to come along and brine in another pennant. Capt. Thomas Lyons of the police uniformed force called out his men in various emergency plans to control traffic, around Comiskey Park where the fans in their jubilation almost threatened property destruction: in the Loop, where there were impromptu parades to keep moving; around Midway Airport, where the Sox were to algiht from Cleveland. Through the Loop, past Marshall Field's down the brightlv lighted State Street, along Michigan Boulevard and the lake front, the young people screamed along in their cars, some of them loaded over the roofs. • Commodores Schedule Changes Announced Changes in the Decatur Commodores’ baseball schedule were announced today by Coach Al Lindahl. The Commodores have three games remaining on their fall schedule. The Commodores meet the Hartford Gorillas at the Berne diamond Thursday afternoon, entertain the Geneva Cardinals 'fit McMillen field next Monday at 4 o'clock, and close the season at Adams Central Thursday, Oct. 1. Monroe Town Board To Be Democratic Monroe will have a Democratic town board and clerk again for the next four years, as the Republicans did not file any nominations, but an election will have to be held to satisfy the law, it was learned here today. Paul Lobsiger, who has served the past four years on the board, is running for reelection, as is Arthur Moeschberger, the town clerk-treasurer. Paul Zuercher, president of the town board, is not running for reelection, and Orval ; Neuenschwander is running for reelection, and Kenneth Hoffman is replacing him on the ballot. The Monroe election will be held on the regular election day, and i the town clerk is in charge of the [ election, Which is not held under i the jurisdiction of the county clerk I and county election board. 1 Radio Executive At South Bend Is Dead SOUTH BEND, Ind.

• Senator Capehart Top Fence Mender By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Sen Homer E. Capehart is Indiana’s fence mender this week. Those who believe that the Statehouse organization of the Republicans will be able to prevent Capehart’s renomination in 1962 may change their minds after seeing the senior senator in his level best action. Capehart now is in the politician's heaven. He has about 5,500 census jobs to allot to the faithful in the party and it’s a cinch these appointments will go to Republicans who will be loyal cogs in the Capehart political machine. Capehart is in his most congenial role—the same as when he staged his famous cornfield conference nearly 20 years ago on his Daviess County farm when he was the host supreme. He is entertaining some 500 GOP leaders at three regional conferences and is picking up the tab after dangling his formidable patronage in the faces of the party chiefs. Dinners Started Monday On Monday night. Capehart entertained party chieftains from the Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh Districts at the French Lick Country Club Tuesday night for the politicos of the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Districts. Thursday night, he will be host at the Sportsman’s Hotel in Monticello owned by an anti-Statehouse politico, Sen. Roy Conrad. Attending will be bigwigs from the First, Second, Third and Fourth Districts. Both friends and enemies of Capehart are freeloading on him this week. Invited were all district and county chairmen and vice-chair-men, GOP members of the General Assembly, Governor Handley, Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker, former Senator William E. Jenner, national committeeman Ralph F. Gates, vice-committee woman lone Herrington, and all Republican mayors. Bigger Jobs Filled Three of the juiciest jobs, regional supervisors, already have been filled by stalwarts not too close to the Statehouse. These appointees are John Sellers, Franklin; former Congressman F. Jay Nimtz, South Bend, and former Congressman Earl Wilson, Bedford. ■ Capehart also is plugging for the nomination of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller for President, although the Statehouse group is committed to Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, who will speak at a state-wide rally in Rocheester Oct. 6. The political spotlight goes Democratic next week and will shift to sprightly Sen. Jack Kennedy of Massachusetts, who will address a dinner meeting in Indianapolis Oct. 2. Then he will go to Fort Wayne Oct. 3, to Huntington Oct. 4 and to Lake County Oct. 5. Workman Injured Tuesday Afternoon Lawrence Jacobs, 53, of route 6, received a severe facial injury about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday while working for Maier Hide and Fur company. Jacobs was admitted to the Adams county memorial hospital and several stitches were necessary to close the wound, Whitgenfeldt Child Is Three Years Old Mrs. George Whitgenfeldt, of Mercer avenue, has informed the Daily Democrat that her daughter, Susan, who suffered a fractured hip Monday when struck by an i auto, is three years old, and not I six, as erroneously stated Monday.

Five Boxing Figures Under FBI Arrest WASHINGTON (UPD-Frankie Carbo, notorious underworld boss of boxing, and Truman K. Gibson Jr., the fight game’s top promoter are under FBI arrest today, along with three other boxing figures, in an unprecedented federal crackdown on prizefight corruption. They are charged with trying to “muscle in” or the earnings and career of welterweight champion Don Jordan with threats of violence in the 10-count indictments against each. Others arrested in the FBI round-up were Frank (Blinky) Palermo, well known Philadelphia boxing manager; Joseph Sica, a Los Angeles sports promoter; and Louis Tom Drana, described as a West Covina (Calif.) bookmaker. In addition, William Daly, fight manager of Englewood, N.J., was named as a co-conspirator but not as a defendant. If the five indicted are found guilty they face long prison terms or heavy fines, or both. Announcing the arrests Tuesday night, the Justice Department said the roundup was part of a drive against underworld infiltration into the sport. The indictments were handed down by a federal grand jury at Los Angeles Tuesday. Fifty-five-year-old Carbo, whose hoodlum career since the age of 11 has been highlighted by three murder charges and one manslaughter conviction, was arrested in his room at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
