"■ ■' rt Jackets Stay Undefeated By Beating Berne Decatur high school ran its record to eight straight victories with out a loss Tuesday night, defeating Berne by a 5-3 score at Worthman Field. Denny Cookson, Decatur righthander who hurled a no-hitter the last time he faced the Berne nine, allowed five safeties Tuesday night, but was in command except for one inning. Berne scored all its runs in the sixth inning, narrowing Decatur’s lead to 4-3. The Jackets got an insurance run in tffcir half of the sixth, and Cookson retired Berne one-two-three in the seventh, although giving up a hit. Score First Decatur drew first blood, scoring three times in the third. Dave Gay walked to open the inning, stole second and later scored on a wild pitch. Bill Conrad also walked, went to second and scored on an error which permitted Tony Reiff to reach base. Reiff scored on a single by John Custer. Decatur added another run in the fourth when Greg Ladd walked, Cookson and Gay singled, Ladd scoring on an error by the Berne first baseman. Berne scored all three of its runs in the sixth on a walk, single and P. Habegger’s triple, Habegger scoring on a fielder’s choice; Scores On Bunt . * The winners tallied an insurance run in’the sixth when Tom, Maddox walked, and on a sacrifice bunt by Greg Ladd, went scooting for third base. A hurried throw Went into the Decatur dugout, permitting Maddox to score all the way from first on a sacrifice bunt. Noel Daniels hit a long double with one out in the seventh, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple, from leftfielder Bill Conrad to shortstop Gay to third sacker Custer. Cookson then fanned Sprunger to end the game. Cookson struck out nine And walked only two, while Decatur, out hit in the game, received six walks from two Berrto hurlers.

Musial, Wills Spark National League Victory WASHINGTON (UPD — Stan Musial, the second oldest man in the majors, and Maury Wills, the swiftest, were credited today with the National League’s 3-1 triumph Over the American League in the first of 1962’s two All-Star games. "Stan got us started and Maury finished it up,” was the way winning Manager Freddie Hutchinson of the Cincinnati Reds summed it up. “Wills’ base running was the difference. He scored two runs for us and did a helluva job.” There were other heroes, too, for the National League, which sepred its sixth All-Star victory in the last seven games—the other was a tie—as it narrowed its deficit in the classic to a single game—ls victories against 16 defeats. And with Musial and Wills on its side it could even the series at the second All-Star game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field July 30. For Wills it was a triumphant homecoming. The fleet Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop was born in Washington. It was quite an occasion for the 41-year-old Musial, too, for he got to meet the President of the United States under a little different circumstances. - The Cardinal star, probably flaying his last season, had met President Kennedy at Milwaukee during the 1960 presidential campaign. He met nim again Tuesday in the presidential box. Recalls Milwaukee Conversation "I reminded him of what he told me in Milwaukee,” Musial said. ‘‘At that time, he said, Stan, they tell me I’m too young to be president and you’re too old to play ball. Maybe we’ll both fool 'em’.” It looked like Musial, playing in his 22nd All-Star game—a record—was going to be fooled when he weqt into pinch hit for Juan Marichal, the San Francisco Giant pitcher, in the sixth inning of a game which was scoreless up to then. He took Camilo Pascual’s first two pitches for called strikes but then rifled a sharp single to right That was ail for Stan—who New Heat Wave Fear Dispelled In State By United Press International Fears of a new heatwave in Aosierland were dispelled today by the latost long-range forecast calling for temperatures up to five degrees below normal through next Monday. , ' At the same time, forcasters predicted little rain — totaling about half an inch in scattered thundershowers tonight and over the weekend central and south, and up to one-half inch north mostly Friday or Saturday. Partly cloudy was the forecast for today and most of Thursday, with highs both days in the 80s and overnight lows in the 60s. Little day-to-day temperature change was predicted through early next week. Evansville reported a high of 88 Tuesday. Overnight lows dropped to a comfortable 59 at Fort Wayne. -r-t ' EAT OUT ....

got the biggest ovation of all the players in the introduction ceremonies before the game — and Wills, who already has stolen 46 bases this season, went in to run for him. The President and the crowd of 45,480 which jammed Washington’s new District of Columbia Stadium cheered Musial to the rafters as he left the field after his 20th All-Star hit. Then it was Wills who drew the cheers. He stole second as batter Dick Groat of the Pirates missed the ball on a hit-and-run play. Maury had such a jump that catcher Earl Battey didn’t ( even bother to throw. Wills then'raced in to score as Groat rifled a single through the mound into centerfield. The Nationals went on to score a second run in the inning, Groat getting home on a ground out. Heroics Jost Beginning But Wills’ base running heroics were just beginning. In the eighth inning, with Dick Donovan Pitching and the National League leading by only one run, Wills led off with a single. When Jim Davenport of the Giants singled to left, Wills turned second enough to decoy Rocky Colavito into throwing to second base. Then Wills scooted into third, “snakesliding” as Casey Stengel described it—around Bobby Richardson’s throw to Brocfcs Robinson. Robinson thought Wills was out, but third base Umpire Tony Venzon thought differently—and won out, as usual. Then when Felipe Alou of the Giants lifted a short foul fly to Leon Wagner in right field, Wills raced for home and just slid under catcher John Romano’s lunging attempt to tag him. That run really did the Ameri-

can Leaguers in, for when they made a last ditch rally in the ninth, they needed two runs to tie instead of one and wound up getting none. The American League had scored in the bottom of the sixth when Rich Rollins of the Twins led off with a single against Bob Purkby, the third National League pitcher, and went to third on Billy Moran's single. Roger Maris, the home run king then drove one to deepest right center field. Willie Mays made a spectacular leaping gloved hand catch of the ball against the fence just when it seemed it was going over the wire for a home run. Called Turning Point “That was the turning point of the game,” moaned Ralph Houk, the Yankee manager who led the American Leaguers. He said he thought Wills was out on that play at third, but added, “It’s one of those things when you can only go along with the umpire’s call.” Marichal, who didn’t allow a hit in the two innings he pitched, got 1 credit for the victory while Pascual was charged with the defeat. The game started out as hurling duel between Don Drysdale, the 15-game winner of the Dodgers, and Jim Bunning, the fireballing right hander of the Tigers. Both yielded only one hit during their three inning stint. That’s when Marichal and Pascual took over. Bob Shaw of the Braves was pitching for the National League when the American League made its threatening gesture in the last of the ninth. Colavito led off with a walk and Sandy Koufax, the Dodgers' southpaw who specializes in strikeouts, began warming up for the National League with left handed hitters Jim Gentile and Wagner coming up.

Gentile to hit into a force play and then retired Wagner on a fly ball. But Romano singled and Gentile went to second. Little Luis Aparicio of the White Sox, who had tripled off Drysdale to lead off the third Inning but was stranded there, came up to the plate and Shaw got him on a long fly to Mays. For two squads loaded with sluggers It was a light hitting game. The National League got eight hits, three of them by Roberto Clemente. The American League got only four. There were only two extra base hits—that triple by Aparisio and a double by Clemente.
