May 1 Deadline On Wool Applications Growers were ' reminded today that May 1 is the final date for filing applications for payments under the 1960 wool program. The 1960 program payments will apply to shorn wool and unshorn lambs marketed not later than March 31, 1961. Later marketings wiHj.be eligible for payments under the 1961 wool program. James Garboden, chairman, Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, stressed the fact that the incentive program payments on wool and lambs are not made automatically — the growers must file applications which are supported with all the necessary sales records in order to receive payments under the program. These sales records will be the basis for calculating the national average price received by farmers for wool during the entire marketing year. When this can be determined, the progfam payment rates for shorn wool and unshorn lambs will be ”announced. Payments to growers will be made during the summer. Wool program applications should be filed at the county ASC office at Decatur, and this should be done as soon as possible but not later than Monday.

Twins Defeat Angels, Take League Lead

Minnesota’s transplanted Twins have played only a handful of games so far, but have you noticed no one is calling them Cookie’s Crum Buns any more. Even old Ty Cobb is impressed by them! Cobb tossed out the first ball in Los Angeles Thursday and then sat back and watched Cookie Lavagetto’s surprising Twins ruin the Angels’ home debut with a 4-2 victory that catapulted them into first place in the American League. The crowd of 11,931 was considerably below expecations but the Twins, whom Cobb last saw as the old Washington Senators, certainly weren’t. They spotted the Angels a two-run lead in the second inning and then took over to register their ninth victory in 12 starts. Earl Battey, a native of Los Angeles who played his early baseball there, was the local boy who came home to a hunt the Angels. His three-run homer off Eli Grba in the sixth inning clinched the outcome and sent the new AL entry down to its eighth loss in nine games. Wins Second Straight Camilo Pascual won his second straight game although Ray Moore relieved him when Los Angeles threatened in the eighth. Earl Averill’s two-run homer in the second represented all the Angels’ runs. In other AL games, the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians, 4-3; Boston beat Detroit, 5-2; Chicago clipped Kansas City, 9-1, and Baltimore blanked Washington, 5-0.

The Chicago Cubs downed the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2, in the only National League game scheduled. Mickey Mantle won the game for the Yankees with a tremendous triple in the seventh inning and then saved the game for winner Art Ditmar with an even more tremendous catch in the ninth. With two out, Tony Kubek on second and the score tied at 3-all in the seventh Mantle laid into an outside fast ball served up by Johnny Antonelli. and rapped it 407 feet against the right center field bleacher wall. Then in the ninth, with two out and a Cleveland runner on first, made a brilliant one-handed, knee sliding catch of Bubba Phillips’ liner that looked like a sure triple : - ■ - The victory boosted the Yanks to within a game of the second-; place Tigers, who ran afoul of the Red Sox. Reliever Stars Vic Wertz and Russ Nixon each | hit two-run homers off Detroit loser Jim Bunning. but the real : Boston hero was reliever Dave 1 Hillman He took over for starter Ike Delock in the third inning i and held the Tigers scoreless on three hits the rest of the way to | post his first victory of the cam- ■ paign. „ I Early Wynn pitched a five-hit-ter for the White Sox against the | A’s for the 286th triumph of his j major league career. The 41- | year-old Wynn’s job was made easy by Minnie Minoso, who drove s in five runs, and Nellie Fox, who collected four of Chicago’s 14 hits. Lanky Dick Hall, recently acquired from the A’s, scored his first victory for the Orioles with ; a two-hit effort over the Senators., The only hits Hall allowed were , a fourth inning single by Danny O’Connell and a ninth inning sin- j ’gle by Joe Hicks. The Cubs had to call on their j relief ace. Don Elston, to save Don Cardwell’s victory over the I Reds. Elston, owner of a 4-0 record, took over for Cardwell with the bases full in the eighth, and although he allowed one run he got j the next two batters and then put down another threat in the fiinth. Cardwell helped himself wih a i two-run homer off loser Ken Hunt i in the second inning, and another homdr by Frank Thomas in the ■ sixth proved to be the winning > run.
