Yankees, Reds Increase Leads By Wins Sunday

By FRED DOWN United Press International Lucky "seven” shapes up today as the magic number which will put the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds in the 1961 World Series. It’s a cinch number for the Yankees because seven victories would mean the Detroit Tigers would have to win all 19 of their remaining games to tie for the American League pennant. And it’s a pretty solid number for the Reds, too, because if they win seven of their last 13 games the Los Angeles Dodgers will have to take 14 of their final 19 to tie for the National League flag. The theoretical count -down reached "seven” for both frontrunners Sunday when the Yankees whipped the Cleveland Indians. 78 and 9-3, and the Reds downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2. The Tigers dropped their ninth decision in 10 games when they bowed to the Boston Red Sox, 8-7, and the Dodgers’ latest losing streak mounted to three games when they lost to the San Francisco Giants, 7-1. Increase Leads As a result, the Yankees ballooned their AL lead to 11% games with 18 to play and the Reds boosted their NL margin to four full games with 13 left on their schedule. The Yankees and Reds haven’t met in a World Series since 1939 when the New Yorkers took four straight games. The Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-3, the Baltimore Orioles shaded the Washington Senators, 3-2, and the Minnesota Twins whipped the Kansas City A’s, 7-0, after a 13-1 loss in other AL games, while the Milwaukee Braves edged out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, and the Philadelphia Phillies battered the Chicago Cubs, 148, in other NL action. The Yankees completed a home stand of 12 straight victories when Bob Cerv's pinch single delivered the winning run in the first game and Bud Daley breezed in the nightcap with the help of Mickey Mantle’s 53rd homer and Elston Howard’s 19th of the season. Jim Coates won his 11th game for the Yankees in the opener.

Homer Breaks Tie Wally Post's three-run sixth-in-ning homer snapped a 2-2 tie and enabled the Reds to sweep a three-game series with the Cardinals behind the’ two-hit pitching of Bob Purkey, who won his 16th game. Purkey chipped in with two hits and Vada Pinson had three in the Reds’ nine-hit attack. The Red Sox tagged 14 - game winner Don Mossi for six runs and eight hits in the first two innings to deal the Tigers fading pennant hopes another blow. Gene Conley went seven innings to win his 10th game for the Red Sox. Rocky Colavito and Bill Bruton homered for the Tigers. Orlando Cepeda’s 40th homer and Willie Mays’ 37th paced the Giants to their third straight win over the Dodgers. Stu Miller went the. last five innings to win his 11th game for the Giants while Stan Williams suffered his 11th loss against 12 wins.

AFLLaunches Pro Football Over Weekend By NORMAN MILLER United Press International American football league clubs have a new gimmick for scoring touchdowns — the surprise halfback pass. Halfbacks Gene Mingo of the Denver Broncos and Paul Lowe of the San Dieo Chargers, who normally confine their work to ball-carrying, tried their hand effectively at passing Sunday and led their clubs to season-opening victories. The Chargers made a successful debut in their new home by beating the Dallas Texans, 26-10, while the Broncos upset the Buffalo Bills, 22-10. Mingo, taking pitchouts from

Report Vandalism At Hanna-Nuttman Field Decatur Catholic high school coach Leon Youngpeter reported extensive damage to the HannaNuttman park diamond where the Decatur Commodores play their home baseball games, to the city police department shortly after noon Saturday. Four benches were damaged, as was the batting screen, and home plate and the pitcher’s box were torn up. The vandalism was apparently done sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The Commodores were scheduled to entertain Adams Central at the diamond this afternoon, but the game may have to be played at Monroe. The city police are investigating the incident. The Other Day We heard about , a sign said .o have been seen jgan antique L gJHak shop window yW that read: ‘'lf yo u think it’s Dg JMD junk, come in and price it.” but between the Zintsmaster , lines are the intimations of an old saying, that suggests that in many things, there is more than meets the eye. and to cover a reverse situation, there is an old adage that says, “All that glitters is not gold.” Actually, the overall moral in these sayings, is that in all fields in. which you are not an expert, vour best bet is to depend only on people who are specialists in their endeavors and whose established integrity is proof that they place a higher value on their renutation, than on a few fast dollars. The automobile business is one in which most people can be fooled or cheated at least once, and the buyer of a car who is not particular about where he buys it, just so long as it looks good or is of a particular model or make, is taking a very big gamble. He gambles not only hundreds of dollars, but sometimes his very safety is in the balance. That is why we are dedicated to serving you with utmost care and loyalty.

quarterback Frank Tripucka, caught the Bills with their pass defense down and completed touchdown throws of 50 and 52 yards to end Lionel Taylor in the Broncos’ triumph before 16,636 fans at Buffalo. Lowe, after racing 87 yards from scrimmage for an early score, took a pitchout from quarterback Jack Kemp and threw a surprise 34-yard pass that set up the first of two San Diego field goals by George Blair. A crowd of 24,500 turned out for the game at San Diego. In Saturday mgnt games which opened the AFL season, the New York Titans edged the Boston Patriots, 21-20, as Al Dorow passed for two touchdowns and carried over for another before 16,951 fans at Boston, and George Blanda threw three TD passes, kicked two field goals and added six conversions as the champion Houston Oilers swamped the Oakland Raiders, 55-0, before 16,231 fans at Houston. | If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Parents Os Jackets Are Given Emblems In the story of the Decatur Yellow Jacket football game, which appeared in Saturday’s Daily Democrat, it was forgotten to mention the fine job the Decatur high school Booster club did in presenting its “parents night.” Each Yellow Jacket player was introduced before the tame, and as he ran onto the field, his parents were also introduced. Each parent was presented with a “D” emblem, and they were then seated in a special section for the ensuing football game. This was just the first of many projects planned by the Booster club this year, and it will continue to be an annual affair. Leaking Fountain Pen After removing the cap from a fountain pen, it sometimes is found that there has been leakage of ink, apparently without cause. Often, examination of the cap will show that the small breather holes have become clogged and suction created when the cap is removed pulls ink from the nib. Cleaning the holes with a pipe cleaner or toothpick usually remedies the trouble. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
