Jackets Whip New Haven In Season Windup Coach Bill McColly’s Decatur high school basebailers finished their season on a winning note Wednesday afternoon, romping 7-2 over NEIC rival New Haven. The Jackets ran roughshod over three New Haven hurlers, combining eight hits with four walks and two errors, for their seven runs. Lefty Rudy Kleinknight went all the way for Decatur, scattering six hits while allowing New Haven only two runs. McColly’s nine wrapped up matters with a big five-run fourth inning. The win finished Decatur with a 9 win, 6 loss record, and a 4-3 slate in the Northeastern Indiana conference. Bob Walters got the Jackets off to a good start, doubling to lead off the first inning. Max Eichenauer got off a bunt single, and he and Walters worked a perfect steal, Walters scoring on the play. Eichenauer scored Decatur’s second run when he reached first on an error in the third inning. Greg Ladd walked, and “Ike” rode home on Max Elliott's double to leftfield. Bat Around The Yellow Jackets batted around in the fourth, connecting for four singles and a double in the inning. Denny Ahr walked and went to second as John Custer was thrown out by the pitcher. Kleinknight then came through with his second hit of the season, a single to score Ahr. Walters reached base on a force play on Kleinknight and the hitting parade began. Marbach Blasts Double Eichenauer singled in Walters, who had gone to second on an attempted pick-off. Greg Ladd singled Eichenauer to third, and he romped home on Elliott’s second hit of the game, a single. First-baseman Steve Marbach unloaded a long double to left field, scoring both Ladd and Elliott. New Haven scored a run in the sixth when Kleinknight walked Fox, who went to second and then third on two wild pitches, and scored on Bailey’s single. The Bulldogs got their final run in the

Dodgers Beat Mels On Night Honoring Casey By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Disenchanted Casey Stengel is getting up bright and early today to track down that smart aleck who would have everyone believe there is no place like home. Casey thinks that’s just a lot of sentimental pap. In away, you can’t blame him. | He came home Wednesday I night to Glendale, Calif., for the I first time since last winter and among those who were delighted to see him were the Los Angeles Dodgers, who promptly hung a 3-1 shiner on his New York Mets to climb with 1% games of the National League lead. Fine way to welcome a fella home, wasn't it? The inhospitable Dodgers did the job up brown. First they let Casey sample some of that good home cooking. They even sat back quietly while many of his Glendale neighbors among the crowd of 19,985 at Chavez Ravine greeted him and cheered him before the game. Then The Works Then they went out and gave him the works, coming up with a pair of runs in the eighth off ex-teammate Roger Craig to break a 1-1 tie. Ron Fairly’s sacrifice fly with the bases full scored the tie-breaking run and another run came over when Frank Howard hit into a fielder’s choice. Don Drysdale stopped the Mets on four hits, striking out seven and walking only one for his sixth victory compared with three defeats. A sidelight on the game was Craig’s valiant efforts to keep the fleet Dodgers from running wild on the bases. After Maury Wills singled in the third inning, Craig threw over to first baseman Ed Bouchee nine times to keep Wills from getting any ideas. The Met pitcher finally balked Wills to second from where he scored the Dodgers’ first run on Jim Gilliam’s double. Sues Beat Cards In other National League games, the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped the St. Louis Cardinals’ six-game winning streak, 6-3; the Philadelphia Phillies handed the first-place San Francisco Giants their third straight defeat, 10-7; the Houston Colts blanked the Cincinnati Reds, 2-0, and the Milwaukee Braves beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-2. The Cleveland Indians defeated the Chicago White Sox, 5-4, in the American League; the New York Yankees overpowered the Kansas City A’s, 13-7; the Boston Red Sox knocked over the Minnesota Twins, 6-1, and the Washington Senators downed the Los Angeles Angels, 7-2. Rain washed out the Detroit-Baltimore game. Bob Skinner’s triple with two men on base highlighted a fourrun first-inning rally that started the Pirates on their way against the Cards. Harvey Haddix, the first of three Pittsburgh pitchers, was the winner and Larry Jackson the loser. Get Thirteen Hits The Phillies pounded five Giant pitchers for 13 hits, including six off loser Mike McCormick. Don Demeter drove in three runs to help send the Giants down to their sixth loss in eight games. The losers didn’t help matters any either, committing four errors. Art Mahaffey was the winner Ken Johnson held his former Red teammates to five hits in gaining his second victory for the Colts. Bob Purkey suffered his first loss of the season after winning seven straight. Carl Warwick and Al Spangler drove in Houston’s runs. Warren Spahn won the 314th game of his career and fifth of the season with a five-hit effort against the Cubs. Roy McMillan homered for the Braves, who clinched the game with two unearned runs off Glen Hobbie in the sixth. Hobbie, who has yet to

Pinchhitter Al Luplow led off the ninth with a home run and Chuck Essegian followed with his 11th homer to keep the Tribe within a half-game—o£-the~-first-place Yankees. Donovan, nicked for 10 hits, including a homer by Al Smith, gave way to Bob Allen with two out in the last of the ninth. The loser was Dom Zanni, victim of the two ninth-inning homers. Rookie Joe Pepitone equalled a major league record by hitting two homers in one inning for the Yankees in their victory over the A’s. Pepitone’s pair came during a nine-run eighth inning rally that.made reliever Tex Clevenger the winner. John Blanchard and Phil Linz also hit homers for the Yanks while Manny Jiminez and Ed Charles connected for the Athletics. End Losing Streak The Red Sox ended an eightgame losing streak by raking three Minnesota pitchers for 13 hits, including homers by Gary Geiger and Ed Bressoud. Earl Wilson was the winner with help from Dick Radatz in the seventh. Rich Rollins’ seventh homer accounted for the Twins' only run.

Philadelphia's NBA Team To San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (UPl)—Open warfare flared on the professional basketball front today following the announcement that the Philadelphia Warriors would be moved to San Francisco for the 1962-63 season to campaign against the Saints of the American Basketball League. A syndicate composed mo stiy of San Francisco men put up $850,000 to purchase the Warriors, including the fabulous Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, and the team will open here in the fall. Along with the announcement from the National Basketball Association of the move came a flat statement from the owners of the Saints that they would be ready to do battle. “We already are negotiating to get Chamberlain away from them,” said Kevin O’Shea, general manager of the Saints. “He has his 1962-63 contract to play out, but we hope to get him for the following season.” -The Saints had announced earlier they would file a $3 million dollar suit against the NBA on an antitrust basis. Negotiations to gring the Warriors to San Francisco had been Agoing on for more than three months. NBA owners turned down the proposal less than three weeks ago but reconsidered and voted forth e move, 7-2, at a meeting Wednesday. The objectors were the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. They apparently are afraid that San Francisco would be placed in the Western Division and that they would lose the great drawing power of Chamberlain for their home games. Philly Loses Ont Eddie Gottlieb, the man who collected the $850,000 for sale of the Warriors, said after the sale there were no immediate plans to bring another team to Philadelphia. At their earlier meeting, NBA owners had insisted that if the Warriors moved out of Philadelphia, Gottlieb should replace them with a “representative” team. Addition of the club in San Francisco now sets up a natural rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers.
