Jackets Take No-Hit Win Over Auburn Max Elliott’s ninth inning double backed up no-hit pitching by Dave Gay and Rudy Kleinknight, giving the Decatur Yellow Jackets a 1-0, extra-inning, NEIC win over Auburn at the latter’s diamond Monday. Gay and Kleinknight combined to hold Auburn without a single htt in the affair, which went nine innings, permitting only five Auburn base runners, only one of whom reached second base. Elliott’s double in the ninth broke up what had been a thrilling duel between the two Decatur hurlers and Seagraves, Auburn’s hurler. Bill Conrad led off the ninth with a line drive double off the right fielder’s glove, and freshman Elliott promptly responded with his second double of the game, scoring Conrad with the game's first and only run. Auburn threatened in its half of the ninth, however. A terrific defensive play by first baseman Tom Maddox on Lumm’s grounder to lead off the ninth, saved the no-hitter. Ha big reached base on a dropped third strike, the only error of the contest, but was cut down at second base on a fine throw by Conrad as Seagraves struck out, for a game-ending double play. Lefty Halts Threat Gay hurled the first two and two-thirds innings for Decatur, The left-hander got Habig to ground into a force play, and went on to allow only three base runners the rest of the way, fanning seven batters in a row in one stretch. Seagraves, a 6-4, 200 pounder was nearly as tough, using a blaz-,' Ing fastbail. He gave up Elliott’s double in the second, Max Eichenauer's single in the sixth, and walked only four, before tiring in the eighth. Habig came on to hurl the ninth. Decatur’s only threat up to the ninth was in the second when Elliott doubled, stole third, .the first of his four stolen bases, and was out on an attempted steal of hoifie* <" The win kept the Dcatur nine’s NEIC slate perfect, three wins as against no defeats, with a 6-3 season mark. Decatur returns to action this afternoon with a nonconference affair at Huntington. Decatur AB R H E B. Ladd, If 2 0 0 0 Kleinknight, p 2 0 0 0 Eichenauer, 2b 4 0 10 G.

Houston Colts Beat Dodgers In lone Game By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Paul Richards, one of baseball’s better brains, moaned last October that he W 44 being offered a lot of humpties for organizing his Houston Colts, but these s ame derelicts are ma king him and manager Harry Craft look like a pair of geniuses. There were many experts who took Richards at his word and consigned the Colts to the National League cellar this season. It’s still early, of course, but the Colts have looked mighty respectable so far, and projecting their present 10-13 record through a 162-game schedule, they would wind up with 70 victories. Bob Aspromonte, John Weekly and Bob Tiefenauer, three of the Colts’ maligned minions, produced like champions Monday night as Houston defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 86, in the major leagues' only game. Puts Colts Ahead Aspromonte hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Colts ahead; Weekly connected in the eighth for an insurance run, and Tiefenauer pitched three shutout relief innings to receive credit for his first major league victory since 1955. Aspromonte cal led, his homer "the greatest thrill of my life.” It had a special meaning because it was hit against the Dodgers, who had cast him adrift for one of the two new clubs to grab. "This is the dream of every ballplayer, to get a hit like that against his old club,” the 23-year-old third baseman beamed. "I never felt better in my life.” It’s been a long time between major league victories for 32-year-old Tiefenauer. Although he first had a trial in the big show 10 years ago, that 1955 win was his only other triumph in the majors. Four Runs Unearned The Colts went ahead with five runs in the second Inning, four of them unearned. The Dodgers committed two errors and their pitchers forced in two runs with walks. Los Angeles moved ahead, 6-5, in the sixth with three runs, knocking out Colts’ starter Dave Giusti and his successor, Al Cicotte. Aspromonte then hit his homer off rookie lefty Pete Richert, who was charged with the defeat. Tiefenauer gave up only qne hit dur; ing the last three innings. Aspromonte. who had been in a slump, now has collected nine hits in Houston’s last three games.

R. C. Owens Signs To Play With Colts BALTIMORE, Md. (UPI)—R.C. (Alley Oop) Owens, one of the National Football League’s leading ends, had his choice of playing with any of 31 professional clubs next season and he .cast his lot with the Baltimore Colts. Owens, dissatisfied with his salary arrangements with the San Francisco Forty Niners, played out his contractual option last season and became a free agent May 1. He had played five seasons with the Forty Niners. The six-foot-three, 195-pound flanker-end might have signed with any club in the NFL, the American Football League or the Canadian League. The Oakland Raiders and the New York Titans of the AFL, as well as several Canadian teams, made overtures for his services. But Owens chose to play for the Colts. He secretly came to town Monday and signed his contract. It was beUeved to call for less than the $25,000 he reportedly had demanded ot the Forty Niners. The addition of Owens gives the Colts and quarterback Johnny Unitas one of the most impress sive pass-catching corps in the NFL. Three other standouts are Lenny Moore, Ray Berry and Jimmy Orr; According to NFL rules, when a player chooses to sever his connections with a club, he can notify the management before the start of a season that he is playing out the one-year option In his contract He must play that season at 90 per cent of his old salary and then is declared a free agent. The 27-year-old Owens, nicknamed “Alley Oop” by San Francisco fans because of his spectacular pass-catching leaps, grabbed 55 passes for a total of 1,032 yards and 5 touchdowns last season. During his five-year NFL career, Owens caught a total of 176 passes for 2,926 yards and 20 touchdowns. He is a graduate of College of Idaho, where he once played football and basketban. He now lives in Belmont, Calif., with his wife and three-year-old daughter.

Frank Lane Signed By Pro Net Team CHICAGO (UPI) — Frank C. Lane, one of baseball’s greatest tradesmen, was breaking in on a new job today, how to dicker and deal in pro basketball. Lane, general manager of four major 1 eague baseball clubs, signed Monday to run the Chicago Packers of the National Basketball Association for one year. Indirectly, his contract was a greater benefit to Charles O. Finley than to Lane. Finley fired Lane last summer as general manager of his Kansas City Athletics, but under terms of his employment contract he has to pay Lane for several more years. The amount that Lane is psid, undisclosed, for running the Packers will be deducted from the amount Finlay owens, since no settlement was made on their contract. His First Task Lane said his first job with the Packers would be to sign Walt Bellamy, the Packers’ center who was the NBA “Rookie of the Year” last season, for his sophomore campaign. “Then,” he said, “I want to sign out major draft choies, Billy McGill, Terry Dischinger, Don Nelson and Corneil Green, We have some good holdover players, and we want to field the ■ kind of team that will bring people out to pay my salary.” Lane did not think he would deal in basketball players as frequently as he did with baseball players when with the Chicago White Sox, where be made over 100 trades in four seasons. "There are fewer players to move around,” he said, "and the colleges are our minor leagues.” He revealed that he had turned down an offer to become commissioner of the American Basketball League to take the Packers’ job. Hire And Fire Packer owner Dave Trager said Lane had “carte blanche” to I run the club, including the right to hire and fire. However, it was unlikely that coach Jim Pollard would be bounced since Lane said he had told the Packers “any people you want to divorce, do it before you sign me.” “Thereafter,” he said. “I’ll be guided by my judgment” Lane, 66, once was president of the American Association before joining the White Sox. Later he was general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians before joining Kansas City. His only previous connection with basketball was as a Big Ten official prior to World War 11.

Time Trials At Speedway Open Next Saturday INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Only four days remained today for drivers and mechanics to work the “bugs” out ot their sensitive* Speedway racers in preparation for this weekend's initial SOO-mile time trials. Scattered showers and thunderstorms today and Wednesday will also cut into valuable testing time. Sixty-nine of the 72 entries have checked into Gasoline Alley, with the “hot dogs’* still shooting for the elusive ISO miles per hour lap. Pamelli Jones, Torrance, Calif., and Bobby Marshman, Pottstown, Pa., have come closest to the magic one-mile lap around the 2%-mile oval with speeds at or better than 149 mph. Most observers predicted that at least “four or five” drivers will crack the 150 mph barrier in good racing weather. England's Jack Fairman, the only foreigner entered, made his Speedway debut Monday and officials promptly put the brakes cm him for going too fast on his shakedown run. s The road racing veteran from Worth in Essex lost control of his new eight-cylinder rear-engine car and spun twice in the southwest turn when an arm rest came loose. The car did not hit the wall and Fairman climbed oat of the cockpit unscathed. However, he was fined 825 by race officials for disregarding instructions and running too fast. Rookie Jim McElreath, Arlington, Tex., meanwhile, stamped himself as a newcomer to watch when he was timed at a top speed of 147.5 mph.
