Commodores Beat Hartford By 7-2 Score The Decatur Commodores racked up a 7-2 victory over the Hartford Gorillas Thursday afternoon in an Adams county league game played on the Berne diamond. The Commodores scored twice in the second inning on a pair of walks, John Kohne’s single and the only error of the game. Four more crossed the platter in the fourth on doubles by Tom Kohne, John Kohne and Jim Cancino, and a single by Jim Rumschlag. Decatur's final tally came in the fifth on a walk to Gerry GiUig and Tom Kohne’s triple. Hartford scored one in the fiffth on a walk, P. Habegger’s single and a fielder’s choice, and the final Gorilla run came in the seventh on a walk and singles by P. Habegger and Zuercher. The Kohne boys had five of the Commodores’ nine hits, while Steve Omlor held Hartford to six hits, all singles. Omlor fanned seven of the Gorillas, while Hoover fanned only two Commodores. The Commodores wind up their season next week, meeting Geneva here Monday afternoon, and playing at Adams Central Thursday.

Yellow Jackets At New Haven Tonight Decatur varsity eleven travels to New Haven tonight, where heads are hanging low after their junior high team was humiliated last night here in Decatur, for an NEIC tussle with the Bulldogs. Coach Bob Worthman said this morning that he expects the best game of the season as his team is prepping tor the contest with unusual vigor. The addition of a veteran center to the starting ranks may be some of the reason, and the resumption of play by Ed Nelson at halfback may be the other reason. Worthman, however, feels that his team is tired of losing and wants to win a game, especially against New Haven, where the Decatur luck has so often seemed to fail. New Haven is not having its’ best season of recent years, but always boasts a good line, aided by swift running backs. Decatur hopes to counter this with the addition of Nelson and the return of Jim Gay to fullback. With Johnny Cowan at quarter and Jim Reidenbach at the other half slot, the array of talent in the Jacket backfield should compare favorably with New Haven’s. Linewise, the Jackets will miss the tackle play of Chuck Krueckeberg, who has dropped the sport because of the recurring knee injury, but gained the services of last season’s starter at center, Joe Smith. Smith, bolstered by Ron August, capable junior replacement, will give Decatur depth at the key position. Coach Worthman will start Bob Theobold, transfer pupil from Tennesee, at tackle, and put veteran guard Larry Butler next to tackle Terry Snyder in the front wall. Herb Banning, Jr., plays the other guard slot. Tom Grabill and Stu Knodel flank for the Jackets. The game* at New Haven starts at 7:30 p. m. A big aggregation is expected to travel with the team with that first victory in sight. High school pupils, especialy, are going up to back their team.

Junior High Team Beats New Haven A busload of about 55 New Haven junior high football players travelled to Decatur with another busload of New Haven fans, only to be beaten by Decatur’s junior high team Thursday night at Wortaman field by a 13-0 score. The fact that Decatur won and beat New Haven for the first time in four years of competition meant a great deal to the coaches, playert an I fans, but the way that they did it was’ the most exciting football game that local sports fans will probably see this season. Th? desire and team spirit exhibited last night by a group of 21 bovs made the evening the most enjoyable in years for about 150 fans, comprised of parents and frends of the team. Singling out one iLdividual for an outstanding performance would be impossible. All 21 put out and the result hinged on the fantastic. Blocking Tells Story With Decatur leading at the half, 6-0, on a scoring pass play from fullback Ed Kohne to end Terry Myers, the team literally sparkled on blocking, tackling fend pursuit. Joe Hess threw the key block on the 10(yard scoring play that was set up by a 60-yard gallop by end Max Elliot on an end around that featured blocking by a stone front wall and the backfield. In the second ’ half, Decatur seemed to improve. They saw that they could beat New Haven and beat them they did. They never .quit running, never quit blocking and certainly never quit tackling as New Haven was forced to punt three times in the second half alone. Decatur added the final score in the third period on an 8-yard spurt around end by Elliot, who had moved into the backfield for one play. He waltzed around end without a hand being laid on him as Kohne, Dave Anspaugh, and Gregg Ladd waylaid prospective tacklers in their tracks. Kohne added the PAT, bulling two men out of the way. Ladd, Hess, Kohne, Johnny Custer, Anspaugh, Dick Ortiz, and Mantiv Gonzales put the spark into ths Decatur attack, not so much by running well, but by allowing the runner freedom with vicious blocks. No matter who was carrying, the blockers formed terrific interference. • - -ru Th* offensive line of Elliot and Myers at end, tackles Steve Sheets and Ted Kleinhenz, guards John Eichenauer and Manny Ybarrra, and center Bill Smith laid the opposition to waste. At halftime, they voiced a similar opinion, “these guys are big, but they’re not so tough.” Defensively, Willie Putteet, Steve Hazelwood, Jerry Egly, Kenny Riffle, Joe Hess, Ed Kohne. Dave Wynn, Manuel Gonzales, and everyone out there put out the best display of football prowress ever seen by a junior high team. Bob Worthman, Decatur varsity coach, said. The 13 points scored by Decatur matched tne candles on Dave Anspaugh’s oirthday cake, which sort of spin red the boys in last night’s effort. In the first g'ame last night between the Rams and Colts, the Rams again came from behind to down the Colts, 13-6, on scoring jaunts by Paul Hodge and Bill Blythe, who also added the PAT. Dean Lehman scored in the first quart ?r for the Colts on an end run. The rest of the game was spent with defensive units receiving the plaudits. Miteff, Hunter On TV Bout Tonight SYRACUSE, N.Y. (UPD —Alex Miteff, whose three straight wins might classify him as a “hot heavyweight,” was a 12-5 favorite to beat little known “Sweet” Billy Hunter in tonight's scheduled 10round television bout at the War Memoiial Auditorium.

Decatur Freshmen Defeat Bluffton The Decatur high school freshmen team defeated the Bluffton freshmen, 20-7, at Bluffton Thursday evening. Decatur scored in each of the first three quarters, and Bluffton in the final period. Decatur’s touchdowns were scored by Hilyard on a 20-yard end run, Thieme on a two-yard plunge, and Beery on a 30-yard pass play from Gay.' Phils Pilcher Rejects Bribe Offer Os $1,500 PHILADELPHIA (UPD— Baseball and law enforcement officials joined in praise today for Humberto Robinson, slender Philadelphia Phillies pitcher who rejected an alleged $1,500 bribe offer and went on to pitch his best game of the season. Robinson testified at a preliminary hearing Thursday that he was offered the bribe by Harold Friedman, 42, part owner of a center-city restaurant and bar. He said Friedman wanted him to throw the second game of a doubleheader with Cincinnati last Tuesday night. The pitcher said he told Friedman, “I couldn’t do it. It’s against my profession.” Friedman was held in $15,000 bail. Robinson, 29, testified before Municipal Court Judge J. Sydney Hoffman. He told Friedman that “This is my profession. I take this money and I never pitch again. I like to play baseball.” Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, who told local authorities of the alleged bribe attempt, said Robinson “nipped everything in the bud.” “Robinson came right away,” Frick said. “He immediately reported everything” to Phils’ General Manager John Quinn and “gave him the name of the man.” Philadelphia District Attorney Victory H. Blanc said righthander Robinson and fellow pitcher Ruben Gomez should be “commended for their fortitude” and their “distinct service” to the game of baseball. Major league baseball has not had a gambling scandal since 1919 when eight members of the Chicago White Sox allegedly conspired to lose the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds and eventually were barred for life from the game. The alleged offer to Robinson could have had no possible bearing on th* current three-corneyed National League pennant struggle among the Milwaukee Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers and.

Fantastic Race In National Is Down To Wire By FRED DOWN United Press International One of the National League’s most fantastic pennant races reaches the final weekend with the Bravdp counting on elxperience, the Dtxigers on pitching and the Giants on a miracle. All that’s certain is that nothis certain. The next 72 hours can produce a new champion, the league’s third post-season playoff between two teams or the first triple first - place tie in major league history! The odds - makers are betting there’ll be a champion* Sunday night In fact, they’re laying 8 to 5 the Braves will be the fifth team in NL history to win three straight pennants: The 1942-43-44 Cardinals were the last team to turn that trick and it hadn’t been done for 20 years previously. The Braves appear to have the edge because their final threegame series is at home in Milwaukee against the last - place Phillies. The Dodgers and Giants finish on the road—the Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs and the Giants against the St. Louis Cardinals. Won Last Three The action starts in Chicago, where the Dodgers are sending sidearm fastbailer Don Drysdale against the Cubs’ hard-throwing Glen Hobbie in a day game. Drysdale, 17-13, has been shaky all during the second half of the season but has won two of his last three decisions including a 1-0 three-hitter against the Phillies. Hobbie, 16-13, has lost to the Dodgers twice this season. Manager Walt Alston plans to come back with Johnny Podres (14-8) against Art Ceccarelli (55) Saturday with Roger Craig (10-5) slated to go against Bob Anderson (12 - 12) Sunday. The Cubs have a surprising 10-9 season edge over Los Angeles. The Braves, who have won* 14 of their last 18 games, are firing Lew Burdette (21-14) against Don Cardwell (9-10) tonight and manager Fred Haney plans to follow with Warren Spahn (20-15) on Saturday and Bob Buhl (14-9) on Sunday. Robin Roberts (15-16) is expected to be Philadelphia’s pitcher on Saturday with Jim Owens (12-11) scheduled for Sunday. Lost Five Straight The desperate Giants, who only a week ago appeared to have San Francisco’s first pennant within their grasp, are reeling under the blows of five straight defeats and even manager Bill Rigney remarks "wryly: “My pitcher? I guess I’ll just roll the ball down the dressing room aisle and my pitcher’s the first guy strong enough to pick it up.” Actually, Rigney is expected to start the San Francisco funeral march with Sam Jones (20-15) opposing Vinegar Bend Mizell (13-9) tonight. Jack Sanford (15-12) and Johnny Antonelli 19-10 undoubt-1 edly will start Saturday and Sunday unless they’re used in relief or the axe falls. The Giants’ position is as follows: To win outright, they must sweep their three - game series while the Braves and Dodgers both lose all three. And two vic-
