Tigers Wallop Yanks, Indians Beat Senators »y MILTON RICHMAN Halted Press International It never fails — fire the manager and suddenly the ball club gets al fired up, too. 1. Qny trouble is that the flame generally dies out after a~ day or two, but at least the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians were happy to discover the spark was still there Wednesday night. With their dismissed manager, Jimmy Dykes, watching from the stands and wondering why on earth they couldn’t do the same thing for him, the suddenlyaroused Tigers snapped a fourgame losing streak by crushing the first-place Yankees, 12-2. It was pretty much the same story with the Indians. First they all shook hands with ex-Manager Joe Gordon and wished him luck in his new job with Detroit, then they went out and walloped Washington, 7-4, behind the six-hit pitching of Jim (Mudcat) Grant. Talking To Himself The Tigers really had Dykes talking to himself. Before he got the axe with Detroit Wednesday—- ’ and swapped Jobs with Gordon at Cleveland—thfe Tigers had scored a total of only six runs tor him in their last three games. But with Coach Billy Hitchcock in charge Wednesday night, they made it all up to Dykes by pounding tour Yankee pitchers for 13 hits. 1 Norm-Cash drove in three runs with a homer and a single to pace the Tiger assault and Hank Aguirre, who pitched a perfect game tor 5 1-3 innings but departed after his arm stiffened in the sixth, was credited with the win. , Grant took Washington as easily as he usually does. He had won 14 in a row from the Senators before they finally beat him tor the first time on July 17. Ken Aspromonte drove in three runs with a homer and a double for the Indians, who scored three unearned runs on Billy Consolo’s two errors in the seventh. Orioles Bent Chicago The Orioles ran their winning Sox and climbed to within two games of the league-leading Yanks, while a scheduled twinbill between the Red Sox and A’s was rained out. In the National League, the spurting Cardinals won their sixth in a row and moved to within a half game of second place by beating the Braves, 13-8; the Dodgers downed the first-place Pirates, 34, in a game limited to seven innings by rain; the Phillies made it three straight over the Giants, 6-5, and the Cubs scored a 4-2 nightcap victory after the Reds won the opener, 7-3. Gene Woodling’s 11th inning triple, scoring Billy Klaus, gave the Orioles their victory over the* White Sox after Baltimore tied the score with two runs in the ninth off Gerry Staley. Ted Klus-

Creation Os Major League Teams Tough NEW YORK <t*Pl> - It could be 10 years before newly-created teams under baseball’s expansion plan reach the major league quality of the old established clubs, according to Ralph Houk, highlyrated Yankee coach ind possible successor to Casey Stengel. The estimate was based on the assumption that th4 teams would be manned by using the major leagues’ “disaster plan,” or a plan like it. "that plan calls for each W Wguh uam to nsa» io players availble to a pool with any three open to what would amount to an unrestricted draft at prices ranging from 850,000 to 8100,000. Tremendous Building Job “The job to build from there wotgd be tremendous, said Houk, who established himself at Denver as one of the best managers in the minor leagues, “The clubs would have to set up good scouting systems, would have to spend a huge amount of money and would have to have a lot of luck.” Houk pointed out that the newly formed teams would all resemble triple A clubs inasmuch as they would have “basic weaknesses at virtually every position. “The type player made available in the draft plan would be a guy with some basic weakness,” he explained. “Say he is an outfielder. Well, a big league outfielder has to hit, field, throw and run. The outfielders made available would be deficient in one of these. Multiply those weaknesses by the number of players on the club and you have a team with plenty of holes.” Orioles Prove Exception Houk conceded, however, that Paul Richards’ success with the Baltimore Orioles provided a ray of hope for quicker success. “Richards speeded up his club’s development because he came up with extraordinary pitching,” said Houk. “Then to top it off he came up with a Ron Hansen and a Brooks Robinson. One of the new clubs could make it faster with that kind of luck.” Limberlost Club Plans Shoot Sunday The Limberlost archery and conservation club will hold an allday, high 28. animal round shoot |unday at the club frange two rdijes -west of DecaUr S., 224 and one-fourth mile south on the first road east of the Erie railroad crossing. Trophies will be presented in the instinctive and free style classes. Lunch will be served at noon. Liston-Machen Bout Set For Septembet CHICAGO <UPI) — A heavy-1 weight bout between Sonny Liston and Eddie Machen was in the making today. The National Boxing Enterprises announced Wednesday night it had reached an agreement for a Liston-Machen bout. The fight would take place in Seattle sometime in September.

THE MKMTO BAILY HtMOCKAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

| Today's Sport Parade | tiur. uja pat. off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Jimmy Dykes was more amused than amazed when he was “fired” by the Detroit Tigers and stepped tight in as manager of the Cleveland Indians. “Don’t kid yourself about this being a trade,” Dykes said affably over the ever-present cigar. "This was a case of two managers being fired and both getting picked right up.” All it means, as he “swaps” jobs with Joe Gordon, is that he takes on Gordon's pitching worries while Gordon takes on his hijting woes. “Actually,” grinned Dykes as he tackled a huge plate of ham and eggs, “It was one of my best days. I moved from sixth to fourth place.” He tad, he said, long expected managerial assassination at Detroit. Part of Racket “It’s part of the racket,” he asserted. “You have to expect it sooner or later. And, you know, for reasons which I’ll keep personal, my first inclination was to say ‘ho’ to the Cleveland offer. Not because of Frank Lane, either.” Lane is the loquacious general manager of the Indians who pops off at the first sign or a resting ear and long has second-guessed Gordon. “Sure, he’s a talker,” Dykes said, “and don’t think I’m knocking him. But he can be as outspoken as he wants. It'll roll off me like water off a duck’s back.” Why then did he go to Cleveland? “Simple,” said Dykes, “and I don't mean me. It’s iust that this game gets in your blood and you can't do anything about it Me, I’ve just been around too long to shake it.” z He tried. Because when he managed Baltimore in 1954 the inept antics of his gladiators drove him to the verge of lunacy and he swore to himself he’d never manage again. Couldn’t Score Runs “It was the same there as it! had been with Detroit,” he explained. "We couldn’t get any runs. "There was one night we got the bases loaded with nobody out and I looked over at Muddy Ruel, who was coaching for me, and I bet him a dime we wouldn't score a run. He told me I was crazy. So what happens? The next man pops up, the next man strikes out and tango it’s all ovjer without a run. And after the gaihe I stuck out my hand and made Ruel pay off the dime. Boy, was crazy.” The 63 - year -old Dykes swore, after that season, “that I’d never manage again.” "Gape Paul got me tack at Cincinnati,” he recalled. “When Birdie Tebbetts left, he asked me to take over. I asked him for how long and he said only for three days.’ That was okay but the /iext thing he says is he’s letting me take the club the rest of the season. We run pretty good so there I am with the bug again.” Too Old Fashioned Dykes took over from Bill Norman at Detroit in May of 1959 and now moves on to Cleveland for the balance of this season. That well could be it, too. For there are those who contend he is too old fashioned as a pilot, the inference being that he is too prone to manage by the book and lacks fire and dash. And these are ingredients which the fiery Lane demands. Thus it may be a short wedding but for Dykes it should be a placid one no matter what tagpens. After 43 years in organized baseball, the inimitable (Dykes long ago learned to roll with the punches. Near Half Million Grant To Indiana U. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI) - Indiana University said today that the U. S. Public Health Service has provided a 8471.492 grant to help finance expansion of health research facilities. The federal government is to provide $344,866 to supplement a state appropriation of $2.2 million for 1959-61 construction of an eightstory addition to the chemistry building. A second federal grant of $126,626 is to be used to remodel Myers Hall, which houses the anatomy and physiology department. * “You certainly have a sensitive skin — you know', we're playing this night game under moonlight!”
