Robin Roberts Is Dropped By Yankees NEW YORK (UPI) - Robin Roberts, onca the National League’s premier pitcher, faced the realization today that there may be little left to his active , baseball future. * Given his unconditional release , by the New York Yankees ’ Wednesday, the veteran 35-year- ! old right-hander immediately 1 headed for his Meadowbrook, Pa., home and indicated be would accept any major league offer l that came along. J Despite their desperate need 1 for pitchers, the New York Mete were the first club to report they > couldn’t use him. ? “I have spoken to manager Casey Stengel and he definitely . is not interested in Roberta,** ! said Mets' President George Weiss in Cincinnati. Before leaving the Yankees, • who purchased him from the t Philadelphia Phillies for 850,000 > last Oct. 16, Roberts said he felt he could still pitch and would welcome the chance to do so anywhere in the big leagues. “I hated to leave the Yankees,” he admitted. “I wanted to be with a club like that all my life. ’ My arm feels good and I still think I can pitch, but I’m going r home for a few days and take it easy.” INJUNCTION (Continued from Page (me) ’ and that he certainly felt they should get an attorney to represent them. Order Net Issued Lewton then asked if the re- ' straining order was in effect, and McNabb explained that it was not, until a special judge is appointed, and issued a temporary injunction until the time of the hearing. May 7. Biggest problem is whether or not the election board should print the ballots. Lewton explained that he had been drawing up the list, precinct by precinct, of the number at ballots needed to be printed. This was completed this morning. Misunderstanding Two members of the election board objected, saying that they had inquired about the school election issue when they read the legal advertisement but that the clerk had not consulted with them on it, and when asked, said he was drawing up the list himself. Lewton said he felt that they had misunderstood what he had said on this point. The election board then decided on the colors of the official ballots: orchid for the north district, yellow for Adams Central, and tangerine for the south district No decision was reached at that time on the printing of the sample ballots. Ballots Net Mailed Another big problem was whether or not school ballots should be mailed out with regular primary absent ballots. Lewton stated that he had already mailed out about 12 absent voters ballots, and that since the school ballots were not yet printed, he had not included them. However, he added, if ft is necessary, they can be mailed later as soon as they are printed. Macklin advised Mrs. Beer to call the state election board on whether or not absent voters ballots should be mailed out on the school question.

Giants Hand Pirates 2nd Season Loss By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sparta Writer Better switch to another detergent if you swallowed all those soap suds about big Don Larsen being all washed up. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you doubt it, ask Alvin Dark or any of the other members of the San Francisco Giants. They claim the unpredictable, 32-year-old Lajsen has never looked better since that memorable October day in 1956 whan he pitched the only perfect game in World Series history. Larsen, obtained in a deal with the Chicago White Sox last December, already has won two games for the Giants and although he wasn’t credited with Wednesday night’s 8-3 victory over the first-place Pirates, his relief performance was such that Dark had only one word for it. “Terrific!” Recorded Eight Strikeouts Giant starter Gaylord Perry, the winner, got into a jam in the sixth inning when the Pirates put two men on base with none out. That was when Larsen came out of the bullpen to do his stuff. He struck out the next three batters on only 10 pitches and went on to strike out a total of eight during the four innings he worked. Orlando Cepeda took care of the Giants* attack by driving in four runs with a double and a home run. Ed Bailey also homered off Bob Friend, who suffered his first loss after three straight victories. The defeat for the Pirates was only their second in 13 games. Houston’s battling Colts fought the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-5 standstill in a 17-inning struggle that was finally called because of curfew after a record five hours and 13 minutes. In other National League games, the Cincinnati Reds handed the New York Mets their 11th defeat in 12 starts, 7-1; Milwaukee beat Philadelphia, 7-2, and the Chicago Cubs cuffed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-6. Twins Edged Orioles The Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-1, in the American League: the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Cleveland Indians, 6-2; the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox. 7-6; the Boston Red Sox walloped the Washington Senators, 7-1, and the Kansas City A’s outlasted the Detroit Tigers, 9-8. Ken Boyer’s single in the ninth inning tied the score at 5-5 and neither the Colts nor the Cards could break through after that. Hie Cardinals collected 20 hits, including a homer by Curt Flood. St. Louis reliever Ed Bauta blanked Houston over the last eight innings. The real hero of the marathon, however, was Merritt Ranew, 23-year-old rookie catcher for the Colts. Never mind the home run and triple he hit; but how about him catching for all 17 innings? Bob Purkey won his third straight tar the Reds with a fourhitter over the Mets. Vada Pinson paced Cincy’s 11-hit attack with a double and two singles. Bob Miller suffered his second loss. Home Runs Face Braves Home runs by Eddie Mathews and Joe Adcock plus Ron Piche’s four-hit pitching led the Braves to their victory over the Phillies. Mathews’ homer was his sixth of the Season and Adcock’s his third. Chris Short was the loser. Andre Rodgers of the Cubs redeemed himself for a cosily fifth inning error by hammering a three-run homer off loser Larry Sherry in the eighth to sink the Dodgers. Don Elston, last of three Cub pitchers, was credited with his first victory. Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Duke Snider and Willie Davis also hit homers. Jim Lemon’s pjnch homer with one on and two but in the ninth snapped a 1-1 tie between the Twins and Orioles. who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end. Lemon, batting for winner Don Lee, connected off loser Chuck Estrada. Ebullient Bo Belinsky, the colorful Angels’ southpaw who promptly went out |nd bought himself a snazzy new automobile after his first major league victory, is now in the market for some accessories. He won his second in-a-row with a four-hitter over the Indians Wednesday night. Teammate Leon Wagher rates a ride in Belinsky's car for his fourth inning homer off loser Pedro Ramos. Yankees Win Nightmare The Yankees’ victory over the White Sox was something of a nightmare for White Sox manager Al Lopez, yho saw his team fritter away a 63 lead in the ninth. Luis Aparicio started the White Sox* downfall with an error and Hector Lopez finished it with a

— 1 T 1 " Today’s Sport Parade (Reg. UA. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY UPI sporte Writer NEW YORK (UPI)—It is typical of the automobile racing breed that Stirling Moes, lying in a British hospital, probably has more fatal faith in himself than ever today. Moss, a balding, Untem-chinned man of 32, suffered head injuries and a fractured teg la the Easter Monday 100-ntiler at Goodwood. One of the world’s most famous drivers, he has inhabited the antiseptic room before. So it is that this visit shouldn’t be expected to stop him. “Racing is his life and I don’t think he would even consider giving it up,” said his sister, Pat, in a tip-off interview. Moss said something of the same just two years ago when he cracked up in the Belgian Grand Prix. That time ha broke both legs. “It’s not toe first time. I don’t suppose it will be the last,” he commented. It isn’t a fatalistic outlook which, you would think, mos| race drivers would develop. It Is an Ingrained certainty that “it can’t happen to me.” Develop Unusual Philosophy The long count, that is. The one from which they won’t walk away. ? If you’ve spent any time around race drivers, you know that this is their philosophy. Close your eyes and you see them again, which is the only way you can see them now. Guys like cocky Bill Vukovich ... slender Jack McGrath of the bushy eyebrows .. . laughing Jimmy Reece ... friendly Tony Bettenhausen ... burly Jimmy Bryan ... blue-eyed Pat O’Connor ... typical Bob Sweikert ... and so many more. All of them good friends. All of them gone. Vuky was a demon. He knew only one way to drive. AU out. The morning of the day he got it at Indianapolis he was displaying a letter from his daughter. “Put your foot through it,” she wrote. "I need a new dress.” Vuky put his foot through it AU the way. When that race was over, one with more than its share of pUeups and the final checkered flag for the mad Russian, Sweikert tooled his car into victory lane and looked in astonishment at his sobbing wife. “You certainly didn't think it could happen to me, did you?” he asked with a broad smile. t, Sweikert Met Death. j -j But not long afterwards, on another less fortunate day and at another track, it did. “You never even think about anything like that.” the effervescent Reece once s aid. “When you get that thing really wheeling, that’s living, ma n, not dying.” New Parking Meters On Second Street The 15 new parking meters along the south end of Second street should be in use very shortly. The foundation and posts have now been erected by Phil Sauer of Decatur, and the parking meter heads will be put on soon. The city council approved the new meters at the last meeting, after a request from some of the merchants in that end of town. The new meters, 15 of them, are located on both sides of Second street, from Jefferson street south to the alley. Portland Man Held On Bad Check Charge Robert L. Meyer, a resident of Portland, was picked up by sheriff Merle Affolder from the Jay county jaU after Meyer passed a bad check in Decatur. Myer was lodged in the local jail under SSOO bond, and will be charged with passing a fraudulent check. High School Golfers Blank Monroeville The Decatur high school golfteam blanked Monroeville 10-0, at the Decatur Golf course Wednesday afternoon. Thane Custer, of Decatur, was low medalist with a 41. Results of the matches follow: two-run single. Roland Sheldon was the winner and Eddie Fisher the loser. Jim Landis and Bill Skowron hit homers. Gene Conley held the Senators to five hits and also contributed a two-run homer as he registered his second win for the Red Sox. Frank Malzone added a three-run homer for Boston. Rookie Jim Hannan, making hi s first big league start, failed to get past the fifth inning. Five Detroit errors were a big factor in Kansas City's victory. The "A’s led 6-0 after five innings but Jerry Walker failed to bold it even though he was-credited with his third straight triumph. Rookie southpaw Doug Gallagher was the loser.

Arnold Palmer Is Favorite In Texas Open SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPDArnold Palmer, the “Mr. Moneybags’* currently among professional golfers, was a solid favorite today to win his third straight Texas Open championship as 131 pros and 19 amateurs began teeing off in the 830,000 classic. Palmer, who won the ‘Texas Open with a 270 last year, had 337,008 of golfdom’s money in his pocket as play started on the 6,616-yard Oak Hills Country Club course. Fighting Palmer’s bid for an unprecedented third title were six other former Texas Open champs. The former titUste tackling the 35-36—71 per course were Chandler Harper, Jay Hebert, Bill Johnston, Gene Littler, Jack Burke, and Mike Souchak. Souchak Holds Record Souchak hotels the Texas Open record, a blistering 257 set in 1955 when the meet was held at Brackenridge course. The 257 is also the best score ever shot in a professional Golf Association tournament. Many of the touring pros cheered the condition of the Oak Hills course as they arrived for a 83,500 pro-amateur warmup. Both greens and fairways have better than average covering for this time of the year. In a final pro-am tune-up at Oak Hills Country Club Wednesday, Don Fairfield and Jacky Cupit shot 66s to tie for 3230 first-place money. Palmer shot a one-under-par 70, good for only 817.50. Don Christian, an amateur from San Antonio, shot a hole-in-one on the 166-yard par three No. 2 hole with a six iron. Player Passes Toumy Gene Littler, Bill Collins, Bob Shave Jr. and Tony Lerna came in behind the winners with 67s for 8153.75 each in the pro-am. Palmer is the only one of the Masters tit le -round threesome competing in the Texas Open. Gary Palmer and Dow Finsterwald passed up the Oak Hills grind. All of the PGA’s top money winners will be on hand. Behind Palmer in ringing the cash regisiter are Bill Casper with 825,208, Gene Littler with 321,491, Bob Nichols with 817,874 and Phil Rodgers with 817,055. Nichols skyrocketed from 18th money winner to fourth place when he captured the Houston Golf Classic playoff Monday. Jack Nicklaus, the 1961 National Amateur champion, and Dan Sikes, who were tied with Nichols after 72 holes at Houston, also have joined the field.

Lifelong Democrat On GOP Committee A Fort Wayne man who learned his trade years ago in Decatur expressed amazement Wednesday over his appointment to a district subcommittee of the Indiana Republican platform advisory committee. The man, Earl Whitehurst, learned to operate a crane while working for the Yost Construction Co. He is now business manager of . Operating Engineers Local Union 103, in Fort Wayne.
