Yankees Win On Error In 11th Inning By NORMAN MILLER United Press International As if the Yankees and Pirates weren't doing well enough in their race to the World Series, along comes luck and Labine. The renowned “Yankee luck” popped up at an opportune time Tuesday night when catcher Earl Battey of the Washington Senators dropped an easy throw to the plate in the 11th inning and permitted a runwhich gave New York a 2-1 victory. And Clem Labine, who earlier this season appeared to be drifting out of the major leagues, contributed a three-inning hitless relief job in the nightcap of a double-header to help Pittsburgh complete a 7-1. 3-2 sweep against the Philadelphia Phils. The Pirates’ double triumph widened their National League lead to six games and reduced their pennant-winning “magic number” to five. The Yankees maintained their four-game bulge in the American League and reduced their clinching figure to six. Orioles Take Second In other AL games, the Baltimore Orioles took over second place when a fluke eighth-inning single by Brooks Robinson gave them a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers drubbed the Cleveland Indians, 9-1. Chicago and Kansas City were idle. The St. Louis Cardinals gained a game in their quest for second place in the NL by edging the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2; Jay Hook of the Cincinnati Reds pitched a two-hltter to beat the Milwaukee Braves, 9-0, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-2, in the only afternoon game. In the Yankees-Senators game, Mickey Mantle’s 36th homer was nullified when reliever Jim Coates wild-pitched home a Washington run in the ninth. Coates had come to the relief of rookie Bill Stafford, who yielded only four hits until he loaded the bases in the ninth. Yanks Load Bases Bill Skowron then led off the 11th with a single off reliever Don Lee. A sacrifice, an intentional walk to Yogi Berra and another pass to Gil McDougald

loaded the bases. Tony Kubek then hit a routine grounder to third baseman Harmon Killebrew, who threw home for what looked like an easy force out and possibly a double play. But Battey dropped the ball, permitting pinch-runner Joe DeMaestri to race home with the winning run. Eli Grba was the winner in relief. For the Pirates, Bob Friend pitched a seven-hitter for his 17th .'victory in the opener and then Hal Smith’s eighth-inning homer off Philadelphia's Jim Owens climaxed a come-from-behind victory in the nightcap. Dick Schofield’s double and Bob Skinner’s two-out single had tied the score in the seventh. Labine, who is beginning to look once again like the pitcher who helped the old Brooklyn Dodgers win pennants, relieved starter Harvey Haddix in the seventh to gain his third victory against one defeat. Hits Bloop Single Pinch-hitting rookie Charley James of the Cards blooped a ; broken-bat single with two out in the ninth to drive home two runs : that earned reliever Lindy McDaniel his 12th victory. Larry Sherry was the Los Angeles victim. Hook permitted only four men to reach base, none reaching sec- , ond, as the Reds shelled Lew Burdette of the Braves in the ; seventh, and Sam Jones pitched a five-hitter for his 17th triumph in the Giants’ win over the Cubs. Brooks Robinson, trying to duck away from a pitch, accidentally blooped a single which drove in the Orioles’ winning run against the Red Sox. Dick Gernert, Lou Berberet and Al Kaline hit home runs to ease the route to Frank Lary’s 14 th victory for the Tigers against the Indians. Jim Perry now has yielded 34 homers, an all-time Cleveland high for a season. Cycle Crash Fatal To Mishawaka Man SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) — Daniel R. Harkins, 24, Mishawaka, died in Memorial Hospital here Tuesday from injuries suffered in the erash of his motorcycle against a wall as he drove the Wrong way on a one-way I street Sept. 15.

Denver Takes Lead In Final Playoffs DENVER <UPI) — Denver, the American Association pennant winner, used homers to make up lost ground, and a three-run rally in the seventh to whip Louisville, 6-3, in the opening game of the Class AAA league's final playoff series Tuesday night. — Gordy Seyfried allowed Mack Jones a two-run homer in the first inning, and gave up a solo four-bagger in the second to Stan Lopata. But thereafter he shut Louisville out, while the Bears steadily chopped away. Casey Wise homered in the second inning for Denver to make it 3-2, • and Larry (Bo) Osborne homered in the fifth to tie the score. In the seventh, Jim McDaniels doubled with two men on to bring in the winning run. Another scored on an error, and Osborne doubled McDaniels home. The series continues in Denver tonight and Thursday, and will be completed at Louisville. Bowling Scores Sportsman’s League W L Pts.

Casey Stengel To Quit After World Series By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Casey Stengel will retire shortly after the World Series and Ralph Houk will succeed him as manager of the New York Yankees, United Press International has learned on the best possible authority. Stengel made up his mind to quit at the end of this season, even before it started, and has spoken about it to this writer, offhandedly now and then during the past six weeks. Casey’s retirement has always been a sore point with him — and it is understandable for a man of 70 who has been in baseball 50 years — but he has faced up to the fact that it is far better to leave as a winner rather than a loser. “I don’t blame them for asking me alj these questions about my leaving,” he said to this writer before Tuesday night’s game with Washington. “They’ve got a right to ask,” he went on. "But I still feel it’s my own business and I told ’em all I’d give ’em my answer in October. That’s soon enough, isn’t it?”

His Doing Only a few weeks back, however. I knew Stengel had decided to quit and told him so. He didn’t deny it. Instead he said: “Yeah, but it’s my doing, not theirs.” By that he meant he’s the one who is calling the shot — not the Yankees’ front office. “Hell, I’ve had five or six offers since I’ve been here,” he said. He wasn't lying either. Several clubs have inquired, discreetly of course, whether he would be interested in managing them during the past three years, but Casey’s answer has always been, "No, thanks.” “Why don’t you fool ’em and come back here next year?” I said to him on the bench Tuesday night. “I just might,” he muttered. But he was kidding, and he knew I knew he was. There is no question, however, that he can get a job practically anywhere in baseball. But when he’s through with- the Yankees, he’ll be through, period. Some speculation has arisen that he might be succeeded by either Al Lopez or Paul Richards. Veeck Likes Lopes But that won’t happen. Owner Bill Veeck of the Chicago White Sox happens to like Lopez and will bet all the oranges in Florida that he will be back managing Chicago next year. That's a safe bet. Lopez may manage the Yankees one day but it won’t be in 1961. As for Richards, he is about to sign a new three - year contract with the Baltimore Orioles, so that leaves him out, too. The Yankees’ front office has decided who will be Stengel’s successor and his name is Houk, a man who prived his capabilities with Denver in the Yankee farm system, a man liked and respected by die Yankee players, and a man with quite a bit on the ball. For his part, Stengel now prefers to keep everyone guessing You can’t blame him. He’s so close to his 10th pennant he can almost taste it. And if you were in his place, you wouldn’t relish talking about your upcoming retirement either. But he has made up his mind and unless he does a complete about-face, he will call it quits after managing the Yankees in final game this year. That, of course, includes the World Series.

50-yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER If the Deactur football team needed any additional inspiration last Friday, they got it from the grandstands. The largest and most ! enthusiastic crowd for many, many years was on hand at the Garrett game, and they were all for Decatur. In years past, criticism, as much as cheering, has come from the fans. This year, It’s all cheering, at least as far as the Decatur team and coaches are concerned. The same can’t be said for the officials. This year’s team has made the whole community a part of the football game. The fans like to see their spirited play, and want to boost them. And the play has made a team out of eleven players —any eleven that happened to be playing. New Haven will be one of the toughest teams on the remaining schedule. They and Kendallville will be good, and hard to beat. The Bulldogs this Friday will offer a complete contrast to last week’s foe. Where Garrett was ponderous and powerful. New Haven is light and’fast. In past games this year, the defensive line of the Jackets has out-charged every opponent for most of the game. This week, that line has its work cut out in a big way. The Bulldog line will charge, and charge hard and fast. And if they out-charge the Jacket line, the results will show on the score board. Again, Decatur will be the underdog. Due to performances for the past several years, nobody is going to take Decatur serious because of two or three ball games. It is still up to the team to make a name for themselves. Nobody is going to think they’re good outside of their own fans, until they have proven themselves. We have heard that if the Jackets can stay within one touchdown of New Haven, they will be doing good. From the way Decatur has played in previous games this year, it is evident they can beat anyone they want to—if they want to badly enough. Statistic-wise, the Jackets outplayed Garrett. But a couple of mistakes made a big difference. The team can feel nothing but pride over the Garrett game, but that does not mean that they are as good as they can be. Someone missed a block when Denny Ahr went for a first down in the final two minutes of play. When Ahr tried for the first extra point, a Decatur foot was where it shouldn t have been, and he never made it to the hole the line had for him. These two mistakes didn’t lose the ball game, or cause it to be a tie. The things that did that Garrett’s two touchdowns. t Decatur is proud of the Jackets. They have shown to themselves that spirit is the biggest single factor in football. They have a team. What that team does thia Friday is up to them.

Williams Is Lifted For Pinchhitter BALTIMORE (UPI) — Ted Williams was “lifted” for a pinchhitter for the first time in his major league career Tuesday night in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. There were extenuating circumstances, of course. The 42-year-old Red Sox slugger was forced to leave the game in the first inning after being hit on the right ankle by his own foul ball. Carroll Hardy pinch-hit for Ted and popped into a double play.
