Major Leagues Drop Veterans To Cut Rosters By JOE SARGIS United Press International It looked like the end of the major league trail today for such veterans as George Crowe, Willie Jones and Joe Ginsberg, but Wes Covington drew a “life” with the Chicago White Sox. Crowe and Ginsberg were among a group of players sent to the minors Wednesday and Jones was given his outright release as the 18 major league clubs pared their rosters to the required 25-man limit. Covington, who has been in an almost continuous fight with the Milwaukee Braves front office since joining the organization in 1952, became a part of the lastminute juggling when the Braves dealt him, to the Chicago White Sox for the $20,000 waiver price. Two Deals Consummated Two deals also were consummated before the Wednesday midnight deadline. In one, the Detroit Tigers traded first baseman 'Dick Gemert to the Cincinnati Reds for second baseman Jim Baumer and an undisclosed amount of cash, while in the second, the St. Louis Cardinals sent outfielder Bob Nieman to the Cleveland Indians for infielder Joe Morgan and an unnamed player to be assigned later. The 38-year-old Crowe, who holds the major league career record of 14 pinch home runs, was sent outright to the San Juan Marlins of the International League by the Cardinals. Jones. 36. came to the end of the trail with Cincinnati after 14 seasons in the majors during which time he served with the Phillies and Indians as well as the Reds. The veteran infielder hit a total of 190 homers in the majors and had a lifetime batting average of .260 Ginsberg, a light-hitting catcher who managed to stick in the majors for 11 years because of the shortage of experienced receivers in recent seasons, finally was handed his unconditional release by the White Sox. Farm Out Baumer Immediately t *fter completing their last-minute deal with the Reds, the Tigers announced they were sending Baumer to their Denver farm club in the American Association along with veteran catcher Harry Chiti. Morgan, who saw previous service with the Braves and Kansas City A’s. was dispatched to San Juan along with Crowe. Other veteran players cut loose included outfielder Pete Whisenant by the Minnesota Twins and pitcher Ray Semproch by the Angels. Whisenant, a veteran of -six major league seasons with the Braves, Cards, Cubs and Reds in addition to the Twins, was handed his unconditional release, while Semproch. who played with the Phils and Tigers before coming to the Angels, was sold outright to Toronto of the IL.

Duilio Loi Winner In Title Defense MILAN, Italy (UPD—At 32, Italian Duilio Loi at last is a genuine hero in his homeland because of his convincing defense of the world junior welterweight championship Wednesday night in his third title fight with Carlos Ortiz of New York. The 40,000 fans in cold, windswept San Siro Stadium cheered wildly the stocky, black-haired restaurant proprietor from Trieste when referee Frank Carter of California raised Duilio’s hand in victory at the end of 15 rounds. It was a much more impressive triumph than that of last Sept. 1, when Duilio won the 140-pound crown by also outpointing Ortiz in the same ring. That bout had been much closer. Wednesday night Loi, who weighed 138 pounds to Carlos’ 137, not only gave the New Yorker a boxing lesson but had him on the floor and hurt in the sixth round. Duilio completely captivated the top-coated fans in the 15th when he in turn was floored by a right to the chin but bounced right up again and motioned that it was only a slip. Boxing men at the ringside thought it a dull fight, between the 32-year-old Italian veteran who used his entire “bag of tricks”— hitting while holding, rabbit punching, and side-stepping Ortiz’ rushes—and an ex-champion who appeared, slow, off-form and confused in many of the rounds. Don Carter Wins In Master's Tourney DETROIT (UPD—Don Carter, one of the sports most amazing performers. Wednesday night won his first American Bowling Congress master’s tournament — the hard way as usual. The 34-year-old St. Louis, Mo;, star, who almost always starts slow and finishes fast, had to battle from behind to beat another St. Louis bowler, Dick Hoover, for the crown. - ’ Hoover, gunning for his third master’s title, and Carter, were the only two unbeaten bowlers from an original field of 64 in the finals when they met Wednesday afternoon in a sixth-round winner’s bracket 'match. Hoover, only two-time master’s champion, having turned the trick in 1956 and 1957. won 815 to 801 This forced Carter into the loser’s bracket. Carter then whipped Billy Welu, another St. Louis star. 844 to 754. to get into the championship round. With one less- already in the double - elimination tournament. Carter had to beat Hoover- twice to win the title. He did, winning the first fourgame match 840 to 768. In the deciding match, in which he once again demonstrated the class that made him “bowler of the year” five times including 1960, he finished with a rousing 254 games to win 888 to 826. The best Carter had ever done in the Master’s before was third in 1958. National all-star champion four times-and world invitational titalist three times. Carter picked up $2,820 for his victory. 52.500 for the first and $320 for eight match victories. Welu defeated Therm Gibson, of Detroit. 791 to 784. earlier in the da.v-.to earn his match with Carter and eventual third place. Gibson was fourth.

Gay's Homer Scores Win For Jackets Rightfielder Dave Gay blasted a two-out home run to left field in the sixth inning to band the Decatur Yellow Jackets a thrilling 3-1 victory over Auburn at Worthman Field Wednesday. Gay’s clout not only handed the Jackets their second conference win against no defeats, but broke up a no-hitter by Segraves, the Auburn twirler. The Jackets went five and twothirds innings before they connected for a base hit. After the first two men went out in the sixth, Bob Ladd walked as a pinchhitte’r and Jim Martin came on to run for him. Gay then connected and that was the ball game, although Jacket hurler 1 Rudy Kleinknight had some trouble in the top of the seventh. Kleinknight gave up a walk and a single, before retiring the side, striking out the last two hitters. The two pitchers had matched, each other pitch for pitch after the second inning. Decatur scor- ' ed in the first stanza without the benefit of a hit and Auburn tallied in the second when the Decatur lefthander hit a wild streak, giving up a single and three walks, Kleinknight scattered three singles while striking out 10 and walking five. Segraves passed six and struck out three. A fine catch by centerfielder Bob Walters helped Kleinknight in the fourth.

Cardinals Practice Here This Evening The Pony League Cardinals will practice at 6 o’clock this evening at Worthman field. All team members are requested to be present. Three-Way Jam ■For First In National Loop By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Leave it to a carload of lefthanders like Johnny Podres, Mike McCormick and Bill Henry to • cause a three-way traffic jam ! that now . has the National { League race all snarled up. ’ These three southpaws have ’ produced a real fender-bender up front where the league-leading San Francisco Gaints, secondplace Los Angeles Dodgers and third-place Cincinnati Reds find themselves bumper to bumper only IM> games apart. Let’s take Podres first because L he looks like the ring-leader with a 5-0 record. Fourth Straight Victory He pitched the Dodgers to their ’ fourth straight victory Wednesday ■ night with a five-hitter that beat 1 the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-0. Ron I Fairly also helped send the Phils down to their ninth straight de- ■ feat by driving in four runs with I a homer and a triple. I McCormick did his share, too. 'He pitched a three-hitter for • San Francisco, struck out 10 and ■ rapped loser Bob Friend for a tworun single in a 3-0 victory over , the Pittsburgh Pirates. McCor- ’ mick, now 3-1, thus kept the Giants a game in front of the menacing Dodgers. Unlike Podres and McCormick. Henry wasn't the winning pitcher in Cincinnati’s 3-2 decision over ' St. Louis, but he certainly nailed down the Reds’ ninth straight vic- * tory in style by entering the game ’ in the ninth inning and striking out the side. Joey Jay Wins The victory went to right-hand--1 er Joey Jay, who yielded all six ' of the Cardinals’ hits during the 1 seven innings he worked. Marshall ' Bridges held the Cards hitless in I the eighth and then Henry did his •jbit in the ninth. Vada Pinson hit •a two-run homer off loser Curt I I Simmons and Chico Cardenas sinhgled home the decisive run in the * third inning. I , j Milwaukee capitalized on Don I Zimmer’s ninth inning error with i the bases full to hand Chicago its II sixth straight loss. 3-2. Lew Bur-1 dette pitched a four-hitter for his second victory while Don Elston suffered his first loss after four wins. Shortstop Roy McMillan committed three errors but .also collected three of the Braves' eight hits, including a home run. The Detroit Tigers stayed three games ahead in the American J ! League with a 7-1 triumph over j the Washington Senators, and the second-place New York Yankees, defeated the Kansas City Athlet-' i-ies, 9-4. Cleveland climbed into third place tie with an 8-2 win ■ i over Chicago in 11 innings: ' i Boston downed Los Angeles. 3-2. {and Minnesota beat Baltimore, 10-6. Pitches Five-Hitter Jim Bunning led the Tigers to > their 18th victory in 24 gamesi with a five-hitter against the Senators. loser Ed Hobaugh was! routed in the second inning when Detroit clinched the outcome with 'a four-run rally. Bunning struck ■out seven ini bringing his record to 2-2.
