Rolls Perfect Game In ABC Tournament DETROIT (UPI) — Ardith DeGraff, like thousands of wives from across the land, came to the American Bowling Congress tournament here to watch her husband bowl in this biggest participant sports spectacle in the world. And like so many wives, Mrs. DeGraff came equipped with a movie camera to take stirring photos of her husband to show to friends, and of course the little DeGraff girls back home in Grand Rapids, Mich. — Robin, 4, and Christy. 2. In fact, Ardith DeGraff had a two-fold reason to be present. Her husband, Robert (Corky) DeGraff, and her father, Maryhall Robbins, were bowling together in doubles play. Mrs. DeGraff sat through the first two games, with only an occasional thrill as husband or father managed a strike. Came the third game and DeGraff started striking. He managed three, four, then five. On the string went — six. seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven. Now all DeGraff needed to become the 17th man to bowl a perfect game in an ABC tournament was a strike on the 12th try. DeGraff took plenty of time. The 24-y ea r-old photographer, who has been bowling since he was nine and at 13 carried a 202 average, was calm as he released the final ball. Not so Mrs. DeGraff. She was up screaming as the ball sped toward the pins. The moment came and all the pins were down. DeGraff had a perfect game in an ABC tournament. But in the tumult Mrs. DeGraff had forgotten one thing. She never took one picture of the biggest bowling moment for her husband — in the excitement she had forgotten to use the camera. Luncheon Meeting Is Held By 39'ers Twenty-two members of the 39’ers, a senior citizens organization of Adams county, met at the Decatur Youth and Community Center for a carry-in luncheon and party Tuesday noon.' Mrs. John Doan, acting chairman, appointed William Kohls, Mrs. Helen Howell, and Mrs. Alton Corson to the nominating committee, and Mrs. Henry Neireiter was appointed acting secretary-treas-urer. A discussion was held on the* proposed constitution, and a letter was read from Jack Benny, who asked to be a charter member. Any person who is “39 years young" and enjoys being with people is invited to become a member. The meetings will be a luncheon on the first Tuesday of each month, and a 5:30 p.rn. dinner the third Tuesday of each month. Dues are 25 cents per year/ Mrs. Helen Howell will teach painting, Mrs. Homer Rease will teach knitting, and Mrs. Alton Corson will teach crocheting. Card games and Chinese checkers were played during the social hour. Dutch New Guinea Seeks Independence HOLL ANDI A. Dutch New Guinea (UPD—Dutch New Guinea today took a first step toward independence and possible creation of a big new national federation of South Pacific islands. An elected native legislative council was inaugurated with the blessings of The Netherlands and approval of Australia, Britain. France and New Zealand who had representatives present. The move was made against the bitter op|x>sition of Indonesia, which calls the territory West Irian and claims it as its own. The United States was invited but did not send a representative, apparently to avoid getting mixed up in the conflict bztween Indonesia and The Netherlands. Nicolas Jouwek, vice president of the council, expressed surprise and regret at the U.S. snub. “We always thought America stood for the principle of self determination,’’ he said. Other native speakers said they hoped The Netherlands would continue to protect New Guinea against what they termed "Indonesian imperialism." There has been fears of Indo-nesian-inspired protest demonstrations today but the festivities were unmarred by incidents.

Gordon Hopes Athletics To Play At .500 By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., (UPI) — The Kansas City Athletics, with a new owner, a new general manager and a new field boss, are hoping for better things in 1961. They also have a lot of new faces in their playing personnel, although the key performers probably will be pretty much the same as last year when the Athletics finished in the American League cellar. They should escape that this year, with the league expanded to 10 teams, and their new manager, Joe Gordon, thinks the club is good enough to win half its games. The new owner, millionaire Charles Finley, is ready to take the band off his bank roll to buy players, but has had no success. Frank (Trader) Lane desperately is trying to make deals to strengthen the club, but has been balked at almost every turn because he doesn’t have the necessary trading material. New Job Tougher Gordon, who divided his time managing Cleveland and Detroit last season, admits he has a “lot more problems" with the Athletics than he did with either of those teams. “But with what we have we ought to be able to play .500 ball,” Gordon insists. But when you examine the playing talent available it’s hard to find what Gordon bases his prediction on. He has pitching and infield problems. Unless he solves them, the A’s could well finish behind one or both of the new clubs in the league — Washington and Los Angeles. Bud Daley (16-16) and Ray Herbert (14-15) are the only two pitchers sure of starting berths. After those two. Gordon admits his pitching situation is scrambled. For his other starters Gordon will have to choose from Dick Hall (8-13), Johnny Kucks (4-10) Don Larsen (1-10) and Joe Nuxhall, (1-8) w’ith Cincinnati. Larsen, who has been slipping steadily since his World Series perfect game in 1956, has been the ntost impressive of the A’s twirlers thus far this spring. Heads Relievers Ken Johnson (510) will head the bullpen crew with Dave Wickersham, who did some good work in relief after winning 10 games at Shreveport, behind him. Jim Archer, 11-12 at Miami; Bill Kunkel. 8-19 at Montreal, apd Ed Keegan, 6-7 at Indianapolis, are other possibilities. The catching staff is all new with Joe Pignatano, a fine defensive receiver purchased from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the No. 1 man. Clint Courtney, obtained from the Orioles, and Haywood Sullivan, the former Red Sox bonus player, will be the other catchers. The outfield, if not brilliant, figures to be acceptable with Norm Siebern (.279) in left, speedy Bill Tuttle (.256) in center and the veteran Hank Bauer (.275), Al Pilarcik, who hit .247 at Baltimore, and rookie Jay Hankins, who hit .300 at Shreveport. battling it out for the right field berth. Leo Posada, who, ..hit., .361 with the A’s after being brought up from Shreveport late last season, and bonus baby Lou Klimchock, are other outfield possibilities. Klimchock was shifted after failing to make the grade as a second baseman. Infield Half Set Half of the infield is set with Jerry Lumpe (.272) at second and Andy Carey (.233> at third. Bob Boyd, who hit .317 as a pinchhitter and part time performer with the Orioles last season, and Marv Throneberry (.250) are the first base candidates. Gordon will be hurting for a ■ shortstop if rookie Dick Howser doesn’t make the grade. Howser hit .349 at Sioux City and .338 at Shreveport last year, but is doubtful. Behind him Gordon has only Wayne Causey, the ex-Oriole who hit .265 at Vancouver last year. In Dick Williams the Athletics have the best all-around utility man in the game. He can play first, third, the outfield and catch. He hit .288 last year and is sure to see a lot of action somewhere in the lineup. But putting all of them together, it’s hard to see the Athletics throwing fear into most of the other clubs this year. They may have all they can handle in Washington and Los Angeles.

Chicago Black Hawks Knock Out Montreal CHICAGO (UPI) - The Chicago Black Hawks “beat a damn good team” to move into the Stanley Cup finals and now “we have to beat another damn good one to win it,” coach Rudy Pilous said today. The Black Hawks, with goalie Glenn Hall performing in tremendous fashion, shut out the Montreal Canadiens, 3-0, Tuesday night for the second straight game and their fourth victory in the best-of-seven semifinal series. It knocked Montreal from the finals for the first time in 10 years. Red Hay, Bobby Hall and Erick Nesternko all scored in the second period for the Black Hawks. “We played our best game of the series,” Pilous said. "Even better than we did when we shut i them out Saturday night. “But remember that Detroit hasa hot hand. They clobbered To-1 ronto to get into the finals, and I there’s not much difference between the first and fourth place teams in the National Hockey League. Just a couple of players and that’s all, and Detroit has; Gordie Howe.” The Black Hawks, who finished third in the NHL race, eliminated the champions of the last four seasons and Stanley Cup winners for the last five years. The win.: putting the Hawks in the Cup finals for the first time in 17 years, set up the first all-United States finals since 1950. The Chicago-Detroit series will open here Thursday night, and move to Detroit Saturday night. Thereafter, games will be at Chicago Monday, April 10; at Detroit, April 12, and if necessary. Friday, April 14, at Chicago; Sunday, April 16, at Detroit, and Tuesday, April 18, at Chicago. Cardinals' Ace Relief Hurler Appears Ready . . . [ By FRED DOWN United Press International v Soly Hemus is one up on managers who are announcing their starting pitchers because he also has his “finisher” primed for the St. Louis Cardinals’ National League ooener next week. Solly’s “end game ace” is Lindy McDaniel, of course, and the big right-hander's work this spring indicates that he’s ready to pick right up where he left off last year as the game's No. 1 relief pitcher. McDaniel, one-time $50,000 bonus whiz who blossomed into a brilliant relief pitcher last season, yielded his first earned run of the spring Tuesday but received credit for the Cardinals’ 2-1 11-inning win over the New York Yankees. McDaniel, who had a 12-4 record and 2.09 earned run average in 1960. has allowed one earned run in 13 innings this spring. “McDaniel is the best relief pitcher I’ve ever seen and he’s in top form this spring,” says Hemus, who thinks Lindy can be the key to a St. Louis pennant. “For five or six innings he’s the toughest pitcher in the game to hit.” Hemus isn't concerned over next Tuesday’s starting pitcher, either, because he’s already announced that it will be 21-game winner Ernie'Tiroglio. Broglio, in one of his final tuneups for the opening-day assignment, hurled six shutout innings in Tuesday’s triumph. Ray Herbert, a 14-game winner last season, was named by Joe Gordon to open for the Kansas City Athletics after pitching eight strong innings in an 11-inning. 1110 decision over the Baltimore Orioles. Herbert went the first eight innings and allowed four runs and 10 hits. Roger Craig of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ and Bob Bruce of the Detroit Tigers also turned in strong pitching performances in Tuesday’s exhibition games. Craig allowed two runs and six hits in six innings as the Dodgers scored an 8-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Bruce, who had only a 4-7 record last year, went all the way and yielded nine hits in the Tigers’ 10-2 rout of the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates.
