Pony Stars To Play Tourney Game Tonight The Adams County Pony League All-Stars will take the field tonight at 7:30, meeting the Maumee Valley nine at Worthman field. Manager Paul Conrad, Jr., has announced a probable starting lineup for the all-star attraction, which is expected to draw many fans to Worthman field. With the sun shining this morning, the field will probably be in good shape tonight, although games there Friday night were washed out. In case of rain tonight, the contest will be played at 6 p.m. Monday, also at Worthman field. Fager Appliances and Sporting Goods is the sponsor of the tournament, which gives Decatur and area fans a chance to see the best of the county Pony League. Conrad stated he plans to start Denny Cookson, a fire-balling right-hander of the Decatur Braves, or Terry Myers, tall righty of the Decatur Cardinals. The ppst of the line-up will remain with the possible exception of one position or one player. Gregg Ladd, catcher for the Cardinals. was to open the game behind the plate. Ladd, however, suffered a cut on the bottom of his big toe Wednesday night, which re. quired three stitches to close. Thus Dick Omlor of the Braves will probably be behind the plate, with Ladd in the outfield, if he is able to play. Ladd was scheduled to find out from his doctor today whether or not he would be able to play in tonight’s contest. The probable starting line-up is as follows: Thornton, Geneva, 2b Cookson, Braves,, p (or Myers) Omlor, Braves, c Tj»dd Cards rs B. Blythe, Braves, If Egly, Braves, ss Lautaenhiser, Geneva, 3b S. B|ythe, Cubs, lb ( Pitcher Ken Johnson Purchased By Reds CINCINNATI, (UPI) — Pitcher Ken Johnson, who had compiled a 5-5 record for Toronto in the International League, was purchased by the Cincinnati Reds Friday, night for an undisclosed sum of Cash.

BASEBALL SCHEDULE LITTLE LEAGUE PONY LEAGUE Saturday at Worthman field, 7:30 p. m., County All-Stars vs Maumee Valley. Cassius Clay In - TV Bout Tonight LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPl)—Brash young Cassius Clay and a national audience may find out tonight how much substance there is to his announced intention of fighting for the world heavyweight crown before he is 21. The Olympic champion, now 19, meets experienced Alonzo Johnson of Pittsburgh, Pa., in a scheduled 10-rounder that stacks up as a much harder test than any of his seven previous pro fights, all of which he has won, five by : knockouts. The bout will be nationally televised. Clay has a promise of a shot at a ranking heavyweight contender if he gets past Johnson, and the fact that he is considered a Slight underdog for the first time in his brief pro career bothers him not a whit. “Why worry about Johnson?” • asked Clay. “He's just away of getting to the big man.” He m e ant heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. , Despite Clay’s customary cockiness, there was no doubt he faced his severest test yet in tonight’s bout. Although Johnson has lost six of his last eight starts, he has an overall 19-7 record. He has fought such ranking fighters as Alex Miteff, Zora Folley and Eddie Machen, and has split in two bouts apiece with Willie Pastrano and Tony Anthony.

Yanks Rally To Win In Ninth, Regain Lead By FRED DOWN i United Press International Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris may or may not top Babe Ruth’s home run record but the current New York, Yankee “Murderers’ Row” is virtualy a cinch to wind up as the greatest wrecking crew in baseball history. Mantle hit his 37th homer and Maris his 36th Friday night to go 22 and 18 games ahead of Ruth’s recoyd 1927 pace, respectively, but even their assault on the Babe’s mark was overshadowed by the awesome top-to-bottom power of the Yankee lineup that produced an 11-8 victory over the Boston Red Sox. With two out in the ninth inning, manager Ralph Houk still was able to find a power hitter in pinch hitter Johnny Blanchard, who connected for a game-winning grand slam off Mike Fornieles. It was the Yankees’ fourth homer of the game and gave them a season total of 140 —a pace which would give them a fantastic total of 246 homers for their 162-game schedule. The 1947 New York Giants and the 1956 Cincinnati Reds each hit. 221 homers in a 154-game schedule to share the current major league, record. Yanks Take First The win boosted the Yankees back into first place in the AL when the Kansas City Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2. The Minnesota Twins shaded the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, jftd the Los Angeles Angels rocked the Washington Senators, 16-5, in other American League games, while the St. Louis Cardinals routed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-1; the Milwauee Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-3, and the Philadelphia Phillies edged the Chicago Cubs, 4-3 in National, League action.
