Athletics In Three-Way Tie For Top Spot By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer It’s the Kansas City Athletics’ turn to enjoy a good laugh at the expense of critics who said they looked like a girls' softball team. How long or how loud the Athletics will continue to laugh is open to question but for the moment they’re living it up with a four-game winning streak and a one-third share of first place in the American League. The Athletics — whose colorful new uniforms made them the game’s No. 1 joke during spring training — climbed into a threeway tie with the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers Tuesday with a 7-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Key men in the triumph were outfielder Gino Cimoli and pitcher John Wyatt, who Eddie Lopat says are “among the most under-rated players in the league." Tigers Beat Yankees The Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Senators, 3-0, the Tigers topped the Yankees, 7-2, the Minnesota Twins won a four-hour and 41-minute struggle with the Los Angeles Angels, 11-10, and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 6-1, in other American League games. In, the National League, the San Francisco Giants routed the Houston Colts, 7-0, the Milwaukee Braves ripped the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-0, the St. Louis Cardinals edged out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, the Cincinnati Reds downed the New York Mets, 7-4, and the Chicago Cubs shaded the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-1, in 12 innings. Cimoli batted in three runs with a single, triple and sacrifice fly to spark the Athletics’ 10-hft attack. Wyatt took over" from winner Ted Bowsfield in the ninth and stopped the White Sox cold, earning his second “save” of the season. Cimoli has now connected for eight hits in his last 14 trips to the plate. Pitches Two-Hitter Sam McDowell pitched a twohitter and struck out 13 batters for the Indians, who tagged Claude Osteen for his first loss. Woodie Held and Johnny Romano homered for the Indians. It was McDowell’s first complete game in the majors and his strikeout total was the highest by a Cleveland pitcher since Herb Score struck out 13 batters in a 1959

Plan Stale Fee For Hunting Pheasants INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Director Donald Foltz of the Indiana Department of Conservation said members of the commission reached near-agreement Tuesday on establishing a fee for hunting pheasant in public hunting and fishing areas. “There was general agreement that there is logic to this approach.” Foltz explained. “However, we will not vote on it until the next meeting May 17.” uNo charge is made at present. The commission approved a plan to lease two hatchery farms from Grassyfork Fish Hatchery, Martinsville, for an estimated, $20,000 for a three-year period, i Foltz said the hatcheries would be used to produce 10,000 adult bass for stocking Monroe Reservoir. “We hope to attract some of the fishermen who now go to Kentucky or to the Ozarks," Foltz explained. The commission also signed an agreement with Milan to supply the town with water from Versailles Lake at a charge of two cents per 1,000 gallons. Pro Basketball NBA Playoff Boston 113, Los Angeles 106 (Boston leads best of seven final series, 2-0). game. Hank Aguirre enabled the Tigers to beat Whitey Ford for the first time in four years with a 10-hit pitching performance and a 40-foot single that resulted in three Tiger runs Aguirre’s hit—a roller down the third base line —came during the Tigers’ fiverun fourth inning. Clete Boyer fielded the ball cleanly but threw it wildly past first base and all three Detroit runners who were on base scored. The win was Aguirre’s second in a row and the loss Ford's second straight Walks In Winning Run Eli Grba, 17th pitcher to see action, walked George Banks with the bases filled in the 13th inning to give the Twins their marathon win over the Angels. The 17 pitchers set a major league record and the nine used by the Angels tied a mark. Bob Allison had four hits and Bernie Allen three for the Twins and Billy Moran had three for the Angels. Bill Monbouquette pitched a five-hitter and Dick Stuart homered for the Red Sox, who tagged Robin Roberts for five runs and six hits in seven innings. Stuart, who started the game hitting .105, also had a single and drove in a total of four runs.

Spahn, Pierce Hurl Shutout Wins Tuesday By FRED DOWN IJPI Sports Writer Baseball may be a young man’s game but you can’t prove it today to a foursome of National League veterans with a total of 66 years of big league experience under their belts. They’re the Milwaukee Braves’ . Warren Spahn, 41, and Ed Mathews, 31, the San Francisco Giants’ Billy Pierce, 36, and Ute St. Louis Cardinals’ Stan Musial, 42. Their average age is 38 but they’re starting off the new season as frisky as the most ambitious rookies. Spahn scored the 329th victory of his career and Mathews became the eighth player in. baseball history to hit 400 homers in the Braves’ 8-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday. Pierce extended his streak of consecutive wins at Candlestick Park to 14 with a 7-0 win over the 5 Houston Colts and Musial became the first man to accumulate 6,000 ‘ total bases in the Cardinals’ 4-3 1 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mets Lose Again Hie Cincinnati Reds extended ■ the New York Mets’ losing streak to seven games with a 7-4 deci1 sion and the Chicago Cubs edged ’ out the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-1, ■ in 12 inings in other National League action. In the American League, the Detroit Tigers defeated the New York Yankees, 7-2, the Kansas City Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox, 7-4, the Cleveland Indians shut out the Washington i Senators, 3-0, the Minnesota Twins edged out the Los Angeles Angels, 11-10, and the Boston Red Sox topped Hie Baltimore Orioles, 6-1. Spahn pitched a four-hitter and ! struck out seven in winning his second straight game of the sea--1 son and raising his NL career 1 shutout record for left-handers to ' 56. Spahn now ranks No. Bon the ! all-time winning list. Mathews’ first homer of 1963 came in the seventh inning and lifted him into a select circle which also includes Babe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx, Ted Williams, Mel Ott, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Musial. Pierce, who never has been beaten at Candlestick Park, pitched a six-hitter and fanned ■ six- It was his first win of the 1 season and the 206th of his 17- : year career. Felipe Alou drove in 1 two runs with a single and a dou- • ble to lead the eight-hit San Fran--1 cisco attack. Pirates Blow Lead Musial contributed a single to the Cardinals’ 12-hit attack, rais--1 ing his career total bases to 6,000. Hall of Famer Ty Cobb ranks 1 second to Musial on the all-time list with 5,863. The Cardinals 1 trailed going into the last of the ninth when Duke Carmel tied the ■ score with a homer. Dick Groat then doubled and scored on an 1 error by Julio Gotay. Catcher Johnny Edwards drove in three runs with three hits and a sacrifice fly as the Reds broke thejj- four-game losing streak. The hapless Mets’ losing streak was extended to seven games —two short of the record they set at the start of the 1962 season. Duke Snider hit his third homer of the season for the Mets. Ernie Banks, no spring chicken himself at 32, hit his first homer of the season and then delivered the decisive run for the Cubs with a 12th-inning sacrifice fly. Lindy McDaniel received credit for the victory although he was saved in the bottom of the 12th by Barney Schultz. A two-base error by Willie Davis led to the winning run.

Toronto Takes 3-1 Lead In Playoffs DETROIT (UPI) — Dave Keon lost control of the puck and the Detroit Red Wings just plain lost. That’s what happened in the fourth game of the Stanley Cup finals Tuesday night as Keon scored the winning goal unassisted to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-2 victory over the Red Wings. The teams today headed for Toronto for the fifth game of the best-of-seven series Thursday night and the Maple Leafs, who now hold a 3-1 lead are overwhelming favorites to win the cup for the second straight year. Keon got the key goal at 9:42 of the third period to break a 2-2 tie when he lost the puck and it went into the net after hitting two Wings. “I lost control of it,” Keon explained when he swerved to the left of the net trying to pull out goalie Terry Sawchuk after skating from center ice with the puck. “It rolled toward the net and (Norm) Ullman, who was coming in from the other way, kicked it with his skate and it bounced off Sawchuk for the goal,” Keon said. It was Keon’s fifth goal in nine playoff games and three of them have come when he lost the puck and it happened to roll into the net. Toronto Coach Punch Imlach couldn’t say too much about Keon after the game. “He’s the best center in the league and I wouldn’t trade him for any player at any position, he said. “Sure, (Gordie) Howe is a great player but he’s 35 and Dave’s 23, I don’t think that would be much of a trade for us,” he added Imlach also figures the series is all over. “I’m a positive thinker but if these guys don’t end the series on their home ice Thursday, they’re deadheads,” he said. Celtics Win Second Game In Playoffs BOSTON (UPI) — The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers flew to the West Coast on the same plane today and if both teams are intact on landing, their playoff series will reach third game stage tonight. The Lakers promised a rousing Los Angeles reception for the four-time playoff champion Celtics and announced they expected to take two victories in Los Angeles to even the best-of-seven final playoffs. “That way,” said Laker Coach Fred Schaus, “when we come back here Sunday, we’ll begin a three game series for the championship. We should have 15,000 nice friendly souls waiting in Los Angeles to watch us come back. Our guys still have to be shown." Celtics’ Ideas Differ The aging Celtics, with slightly different ideas, had no intention of blowing their two-game lead in the National Basketball Association finals. Boston scored a 113-106 victory on its home court Tuesday night for the big two-game advantage. Bill Russell was rebounding like an octopus (38, two short of his own playoff record), while Sam Jones (27 points), i *Torn Heinsohn (26 points). Bob Cousy (18 points, 11 assists), Russell (16 points) and Frank Ramsey (13 points) accounted for most of the scoring. Boston cornerman Tom Sanders managed, with help, to “hold” Elgin Baylor to 30 points, but Jerry West rolled up 23 and Dick Barnett had 20 to round out the losing leaders. No Officiating Complaints In rare agreement, neither Auerbach nor Schaus had a complaint about the officiating. ‘"lhe series so far has been very well officiated,” the Laker coach said. Auerbach limited himself to saying, “Not bad.” Both coaches cited the veteran Cousy as a key man on the victory. “Cousy ran the show...he’s the guy who helped kill us,’’ Schaus said. “Those two quick baskets (mid-third period) came just when we needed them,” Auerbach responded. The teams take a brief rest after game three tonight, resuming at Los Angeles Friday night. If a fifth game is necessary, it will be played back here on Sunday Dates for the sixth and seventh games, if needed, are at Los Angeles April 24 and here April 27. The playoff series between the two teams last year, which produced Boston’s fourth straight NBA crown, lasted into overtime in the seventh game. Trout Association Will Meet Friday The final meeting of the Northeastern Indiana trout association before the season opens in the streams of Indiana will be held Friday at 8 p.m. at the Southwest conservation club, 5703 Bluffton road, Fort Wayne Jack Hurst, area conservation officer, said today. A large number of fishing enthusiasts from Adams county are members, and several on committees which will report at this meeting. Movies will be shown, and coffee and doughnuts served.
