Adams County Pony League Will Open Monday, June 4; Seven Teams Again In Loop

The Adams county Pony League will open its season Monday, June 4, it was announced fallowing a meeting of the managers and coaches of the seven teams in the circuit. The season will be opened with a doubleheader at Decatur, Geneva meeting the Decatur Cubs in the first game and Adams Central playing the Decatur Cardinals in the second encounter. Berne will be at Monmouth the same evening. Tryouts for the three Decatur teams. Cubs, Cardinals and Brayes will be held this Saturday at Worthman field, beginning at 2 p.m. The tryouts are open to any boys 13 and 14 years of age who played in Little League last year as la-year-olds, and any other boys. R. O. Wynn, who was reelected president of the league at last week’s meeting, also announced the pairings for the tournament which will be held at the season’s conclusion. Na All-Stars In past years, the Adams county league has fielded an all-star team. This has been dropped however, and a tourney will be held so as to give more boys a chance to participate. The tourney will open Monday, July 23, with three games. Teams finishing 4th and sth in the regular season will play, the teams finishing 2nd and 7th will meet each other, and the 3rd and 6th place finishers will tangle. Giants Defeat Pirates, Take National Lead By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Gaylord Perry sounds like something straight out of the legitimate theater and, better yet, he looks like he’s headed for star billing with the San Francisco Giants. The 23-year-old rookie pitcher isn’t cut out for mere bit parts. The Giants paid him a whopping $85,000 bonus three years ago and they’re eagerly looking forward to some smash performances. Young Perry didnt’ let t hem down Monday when he fired a four-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4-1 victory that was the Giants’ sixth straight and moved them into first place in the Natitnal League. Perry, a six-foot-four fastbailer from Williamston, N. C., and young brother of Cleveland’s Jim Perry, did not allow a hit after the fourth inning and hurled his first complete major league game while gaining his second victory without a defeat. He also beat the Pirates last Wednesday but needed Don Larsen’s help. Fails To Last Loser Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell became the 20th straight starting pitcher who has failed to last against the Giants when he was kayoed after four innings. Before departing, Mizell was tagged for Willie Mays’ seventh homer of the season in the first inning and Orlando Cepeda’s sixth with Mays aboard in the fourth. The Pirates scored their only run off Perry in the second when Don Hoak singled, stole second and scored on Bill Mazeroski’s single. One source of consolation for the losers was Vern Law’s first appearance in a regulation game since last June. Law. who has been hampered by shoulder trouble, pitched the eighth inning and retired the Giants in 1-2-3 order. Only two other games were played in the major leagues Monday, with the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the Chicago Cubs, 3-1, and the Philadelphia Phillies, turninb back the Milwaukee Braves, 6-4. Strikes Out Eight The Dodgers, who have yet to lose at night at Chavez Ravine, ran their home record under the lights to 6-0 as Stan Williams struck out eight batters and pitched a five-hitter in d ealing the Cubs their sixth straight loss. Williams worked his way out of several jams and got a break in the second inning when Andre Rodgers tripled but was tagged out for over-running the bag. The Dodgers scored twice in the fifth with the aid of a wild pitch by loser Dick Ellsworth and Rodgers’ error, then added an insurance run in the sixth on Andy Carey’s second homer of the year into the left field stands. Beaten 11 times in a row by Warren Spahn. the Phillies finally

defeated him for the first time since May 23, 1959, with a fiverun outburst in the third inning. Opens With Double Ruben Amaro, who c ollected three of the Phillies’ nine hits, opened the frame with a double and after Tony Taylor singled him home, a walk, a single by Tony Gonzalez and two more walks produced the Phils’ second and third runs and finished Spahn. Reliever Don Nottebart then hit Johnny Callison with a pitch, forcing in another run, and Clay Dalrymple’s sacrifice fly brought in what proved to be the winning run. The loss was Spahn’s third of the season compared with two victories. Rookie Jack Hamilton, who gave up five of the Braves' six hits, was credited with his second victory although Jack Baldschun relieved him in the ninth and nailed down the last two outs of the game. Steve Hildebrand Wins Bronze Medal Steve E. Hildebrand, of Adams Central high school, won a bronze medal in the algebra division in the finals of the 48th annual state high school achievement program in English, mathematics, Latin and Spanish Saturday at Indiana University. Competing in the finals were 1140 winners of regional meets held in 36 Indiana cities. Forty-two students won first places and received gold medals.

Today's Sport Paraje (Reg. ÜB. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — In case you are worrying whether they skinned any jackrabbit out of the major league baseball you can cease and desist today because things apparently are livelier than ever. Some of the siege guns haven't really started to unlimber yet and even so—on a game-for-game comparison with this time last season—production of what we in the craft refer to as four-masters is up by nine. That completely discounts the 30 which have been struck to this point by the New York Mets and Houston Colts, who at this time last season didn’t even own one major league bat. The Yankees, who smacked a record 240 home runs last year are right back at it again with 30 against 13 at this same point last season. The American League cannoned a record 1,534 in 1961 (against a low of 101 in 1907) and is marching on that infant standard with 137 crowd pleasers already compared with 124 at this stage of the festivities 12 months ago. Drop Slightly The National League has frittered away a pittance in the homer department, its eight teams of last season being down from 129 to 126. But when you add the 30 by the combined MetColt batsmen, the total leaps to 159 and you can kiss goodbye the mark of 1,263 the league registered in 1955. For the same number of games each team had played at this time last season, in the American League the Yanks are up seven to 20 and the Twins up three to 20. Detroit, with 18, is up four and the White Sox are even with 16. Having 12 each, Los Angeles is down 10, Kansas City down tw o and Baltimore down one. Washington’s 11 is a gain of six while Boston with nine and Cleveland with seven each are down one. San Francisco sets the National League pace with 25, an increase of two over its output in the same number of contests a year ago. Los Angeles with 21 is down nine. And who do you think is third? Why those New York Mets, with 20. The Cubs, with 17, are flat even, as is Cincinnati with 15. Milwaukee's 15 is up three. The Cards, with 13. are down two; Pittsburgh’s 12 is an increase of four; the Phils are down two with seven and the Colts have 10. Proves Interesting When you go into this kind of IBM reporting, a rather interesting sidelight is to see whether each team’s pitching corps is delivering a larger total to the Opposition than his offensive gentlemen are able to compile against rival throwers. It will come as no surprise to the American League that the Yankees do this best. Hie pinstripe pitchers have allowed 13, a neat profit of seven. The White Sox and Tigers have belted four more than their pitchers allowed and Minnesota has a bank balance of three. Washington and Cleveland are in the soup, having donated eight and seven more respectively than the home forces have struck. The Giants are five ahead of the other teams’ hitters in the National League and the Dodgers are four up when you compare homers struck to homers allowed. The Braves, Pirates and Colts are three ahead and the Mets are two up. The Phillies are the ones being boiled in oil. They’ve struck seven and allowed 18—a tearful deficit of 11. But there is some consolation for them. The White Sox once hit only three home runs in a 156-game season. Os course that was back in 1908 but if you want to be c haritable, imagine What a sensation this Phillies’ team would have been then.

Men’s Golf League Opens Next Monday

The men's City golf league will open the 1962 season next Monday evening at the Decatur Golf course, Luke Majorki, pro-manag-er of the course, announced today. Representatives of the teams, in a recent meeting, agreed to play under practically the same rules as last year. , The league will operate under medal play, with two nine-week halves, with the winner of each half playing for he championship. The First State Bank is defending champion, having defeated the Vigortones in the 1961 playoffs. Rules and porcedure were also discussed at the meeting. Two of the main rule changes were: out of bounds, which is stroke and distance (two strokes); unplayable lies two strokes, water hazard one stroke. A course rule will be in effect on all new trees which were planted this spring. There were 72 trees planted, and all players will be entitled to two club lengths away from the trees which are staked and interfere with the swing (no penalty). It was also decided that any combination may tee off as a foursome is completed. Previously, the one-two men had tn be in the same foursome. This year, any combination such as 1 and 3,1 and 2,1 and 4 may tee off as a foursome provided they are paired up with the team they play that night. All players are to contact the representative of their team for further explanation. 10 Teams In League Ten teams will again form the City league. Following are the teams and their members as they are listed to date in the pro shop: Fortney Shoe Repair— Willard Mcßride, Jim Burdg, Earl Lloyd, Glenn Mauller, Elmer Ehrsam, Harold Hoffman.
