Cincinnati Royals Again Change Hands CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) — Warren Hensel, Cincinnati businessman and sportsman long interested in owning the Cincinnati Royals basketball club, realized his ambition in a deal, arranged during the weekend and announced Monday night, in which he became the second new owner of the club in four days. The action, for an undisclosed amount, took top Royals officials by surprise. Both General Manager Pepper Wilson and Vice President Tbm Grace said they knew nothing of the sale until informed by newsmen. Hensel, 48, purchased 56 per cent of the outstanding Royals stock from Lou Jacobs, Buffalo, N.Y., concessionaire, who just last week purchased the National Basketball Association club and the Cicinnati Gardens Arena for an undisclosed sum. The sale announced Monday night did not include the Gardens. The other 44 per cent of the Royals stock is owned by a number of stockholders, most of them from the Cincinnati areaHensel, a manufacturing agent for industrial firms and owner of the W. S. Hensel Equipment Co., said he purchased controlling interest from Emprise Crop., a holding firm controlled by Jacobs. He said he has always been interested in owning the club and had “repeatedly expressed an interest in owning them.” A condition of the sale was that the club remain in Cincinnati.

Giants Break Losing String Wifh4-3Win By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Writer j Juan Marichal and Tom Haller, batterymates who played important roles in the San Francisco Giants' drive to the 1962 National League pennant, have boosted Al Dark’s team back into the victory column — and it’s a shame the Giant manager wasn’t around to see it. Dark was traveling to New York Monday to receive a sportsmanship award when the Giants broke a six-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians at Santa Barbara, Calif. The Giants scored all their runs in the fourth inning, climaxed by Haller’s two-run homer. Dark's eyes would have sparkled at the performance of the high-kicking Marichal, who turned in disappointing efforts in two previous spring training appearances. Marichal, an 18-game winner last season, allowed only two hits and one run in six innings and struck out nine Indians. Three Hite For Mays The Giants collected only six hits — three of them by Willie Mays, who led off the fourth inning with a single. Then Orlando Cepeda doubled, Felipe Alou tripled and Haller homered off Joe Schaffernoth. Billy Pierce came on in the seventh inning and gave up a two-run homer to rookie Bob Lipski of the Indians. Veteran pitchers Robin Roberts and Bob Friend showed they’re in mid-season form by firing tourhitters Monday. Although not going the full route, Joey Jay. Bill Stafford and Bob Shaw all turned in strong pitching performances. Roberts, who hardly threw a ball in spring training last season before being cut by the New York Yankees, pitched the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Orioles rapped out 11 hits, including Brooks Robinson’s two-run homer. Pirates Blank Twins The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Minnesota Twins, 3-0, as Friend scattered tour singles and faced only 30 batters. Donn Qlen-denoa'stwo-run homer and Roberto Clementes steal of home provided the Pittsburgh runs. In other games, home runs by Roger Maris and Joe Pepitone earned the Yankees a 3-2 triumph over the Detroit Tigers; the Cin-; cinnati Reds handed the Kansas' City Athletics their sixth straight loss, 4-1; the Washington Senators scored twice in the 10th inning to down the Milwaukee Braves, 4- the Los Angeles Angels defeated the „ Houston Colts, 5-1; homers by Ernie Banks and Ron Santo paced the Chicago Cubs to a 13-3 rout of the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies topped the St. Louis Cardinals, 5Jay permitted only five hits in seven shutout innings against the A’s while Don Blasingame, Vada Pinson and Gordy Coleman led the Red attack. Stafford gave up six hits in seven innings for the Yankees, but wasn’t nicked for a run until the seventh. Maris suffered a severely pulled leg muscle while grabbing a fly bell in the fourth inning. Shaw Looks Impressive Jim King’s two-run triple off Jim Constable paced the Senators to victory. Shaw worked seven impressive innings in a losing cause for the .Braves. Leon Wagner homered and Don Lee and Julio Navarro combined on a four-hitter for the Angels. Cub pitchers Bob Buhl, Cal Koonce and Jim Brewer held the Red Sox to seven hits while Chicago blasted out 15 hits.

Tourney Receipts, Attendance Lower INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Attendance and receipts for Indiana's 53rd annual high school basketball tourney fell off for the first time in several years, but the fourweek show remained a milliondollar business. Total attendance for the 85 sessions completed with the state finals March 23 was 1,488,622, more than 65,000 short of last year’s 1,554,454. At the same time, total receipts fen off from $1,044,850 to $1,027,719 —a decrease of $17,131. Dollar-wise, only the 16 regional sessions registered a slight increase —$786 over last year. Sectional attendance was off 42,927, regional attendance dropped 21,297, semi-state attendance was off 1,396 and the state finals attendance at Butler Fieldhouse here was off 172. IHSAA commissioner Phil N. Eskew said the decrease was no surprise, although it was not expected. He attributed the trend mostly to the sectional tourney pairings, which resulted in most

key games being played on the third day or even later. “A few sectionals is all that’s needed to throw us off last year’s pace,” he said. Twenty-one less teams participated in the tourneys than last year, for a total of 639, but total seating capacity of nearly 480,000 was up 3,221 over last year. The 639 participating schools shared in $535,702 of the receipts, the IHSAA’s share came to $210,395, and tourney center schools got an additional $24,406. Sectional attendance was 1,183,170, compared with 1,226,137 last year; regional attendance was 187,755, compared with 209,052; semi-state attendance was 89,481, compared with 90,877, and state finals attendance was 28,216, compared with 28,388.

Duke Snider Sold To New York Mels ST. PETERSBURG, Fla (UPI) —There’s a “gentlemen’s agreement” clause in the sale of Duke Snider to the New York Mets, it was learned today. When the straight cash deal was announced Monday night, it was estimated the Mets paid the Los Angeles Dodgers $40,000 for the 36-year-old outfielder, who was known as the “Duke of Flatbush” during his salad days in Brooklyn. However, only about $30,000 passed hands in the transaction. The Dodgers, though, have been promised additional money if Snider regains some of his past slugging form with the Mets. “If Snider is able to do any kind of a job for us, we’ll give the Dodgers more money at the end of the season,” said club President George Weiss. The Mets’ boss declined to estimate how much additional cash he will use to sweeten the pot, but it is assumed this figure, too, will depend on whether the Duke still has it. Asked who will determine whether Snider’s work with the Mets is up to par, Weiss said, "They (the Dodgers) will know and we will know.’’ Under the terms of the unique sale, Snider will not be required to play a minimum amount of Foos, treasurer. The Hot Shots will meet the Concordia high school team in a match at Fort Wayne Saturday, with 10 members participating, five on the four-position team, and five on the two-position team.

games, nor will he have tn h|t a certain number of home run* for his new club. “We didn’t set any minimum or maximum figures,’’ Weiss disclosed. “We just hope Duke is sound and his mental attitude is right because he is just what we were looking for— a left-handed hitting outfielder with power. 1 ’ The Mets also are hopefull that Deer Poaching Seen As Distinct Threat There are now so many deer in Adams county that poaching, or the taking of deer out-oAseason, is becoming a distinct threat, Jack Hurst, district conservation officer, stated today. Hurst had just examined some suspicious-looking deer hoofs found at the Decatur city dump. The hoofs belonged to a very small deer, it was stated. Last week a deer was brushed by a car on a blacktop road in Root township near the Winfred Gerke farm, Hurst reported. Three have been killed by autos in Jay county, and 11 in Allen county, so far this year. Reports of seeing deer have been quite common, especially in Root township. Taking deer out of season is strictly illegal, Hurst warned, god serious penalties are attached. Anyone who accidentally kills a deer with his car should report it immediately. The meat of the deer is impounded, and usually fed to the wild animals at Ouabache state park. Wells county; if properly bled and fit for human consumption, it can be given to county institutions.
