Berne Bears Winners Os County Track Title

Berne’s well-balanced track team turned in seven blue ribbon performances, scoring in every event but one, and romped to the 1963 Adams county track title Monday on their own track, totaling 76 points to 44 compiled by Decatur, runner-up in the meet. The meet was run in perfect track weather, with a large crowd on hand to witness some fine individual and team efforts. Led by long-distance man Barton Sprunger and two crack relay teams, the Bears were too well balanced for the field. Decatur, the defending champ, showed surprising strength in finishing second. Geneva also surprised, edging out Adams Central for the number three spot, scoring 40 to the Monroe squad’s 35. Hartford turned in 20 points, with Monmouth scoring eight and Pleasant Mills 2. Pair Win Four Sprunger won both the mile and 880 runs for the Berneites. Brooks of Berne also was a double winner, taking firsts in the low hurdles and pole valut, in addition to picking up a blue ribbon in the mile relay. Mike Ripley of Adams Central was a two-event winner too, taking both dashes, the 100 and 220. Bag Dave Hammond, only a sophomore, won the lone Decatur blue ribbon when he pitched the shot 44 feet and one-half inch, to win in that event.

The only event Berne failed to score in was the high hurdles. Ed Hirschy of Adams Central won the high hurdles, but a fall cost him a shot at the lows.

Yankees Blast Detroit, Tied For Loop Lead By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer The New York Yankees are back on top again and -frankly, who did you expect, the Washington Senators? If you had paid strict attention, you would have known weeks ago everything was going to be okay with the Yanks. When some alarmists suggested this could be one of their offyears, Manager Ralph Houk said not a chance. When questions were raised about Whitey Ford’s arm, the Yankee manager said don’t worry. And when anyone asked when Mickey Mantle would start hitting, Houk always said soon. It looks as if he was right on ail counts. Technically, the Yankees are tied for first place in the American League today with the Kansas City Athletics but the A’s had better hurry up and get a picture of that because that situation is subject to change on short notice. Baring their muscles for the first time in weeks, the Yankees rattled off 15 hits and ran up their highest run total of the season Monday night in crushing the Detroit Tigers, 10-3. The Tigers ended Ford’s string of scoreless innings at 20 when they got to him for three runs in the fourth inning but the veteran southpaw still registered his third straight victory even though Jim Bouton relieved him in the seventh.

Mantel enjoyed a perfect night by driving in three runs on three hits in as many times at batWith, the Yanks leading 4-3, he slashed a two-run homer off loser Hank Aguirre (3-3) in the seventh to make the score 6-3. Tom Tresh, who also collected three hits, then unloaded a threerun homer off reliever Paul Foytack in the eighth to cap a fourrun rally. Bobby Richardson also had three hits and drove in two runs. In the only other American League games scheduled, the Chicago White Sox beat Kansas City, 5-1, and the Los Angeles Angels snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Only one game was played in the ’ National League, with the Pittsburgh Pirates downing the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4. Gary Peters of the White Sox, given his first major league start, made the most of it by limiting the A’s to four hits and belting a home run himself. Peters tired after eight innings, however, and Jim Brosnan, picked up 24 hours earlier from the Reds, relieved him in the ninth and set down the A’s in order, striking out two of the three batters he faced. Southpaw Ted Bowsfield suffered his fourth defeat against one victory, yielding 10 of the White Sox’ 13 hits, including homers by Peters and Mike Hershberger. Albie Pearson drove in four of the Angels’ five runs against the Twins by connecting for a pair of doubles, both times with the bases loaded. Pearson’s second double came

Jackets Blank Auburn, 6-0, InNEICTiIt The Decatur Yellow Jackets racked up their second conference victory in as many starts Monday at Worthman Field, shutting out Auburn, 6-0, behind the two-hit pitching of Denny Cookson. Cookson went the route in chalking up his fifth win of the season without a loss. The win for the Jackets was their fifth against three losses, and their second without a loss in the conference. Cookson fanned 14 Auburn batters and issued only one base on balls, while hurling his second shutout of the season. The junior speedbailer helped his own cause wtith a pair of hits, good for two runs-batted-in, as the Jackets wrapped up the win with three tallies in the fifth inning. Cookson’s single in the first got Decatur off to a one-run lead before a batter was retired. Max Elliott reached first base on an error to start the game, an d promptly stole second, riding home on Cookson’s single. Lead By Two Cookson later scored on an Auburn error, helping himself to a two run bulge — the only runs he needed. A pair of Auburn errors and a fielder’s choice enabled Tom Maddox to score a third Decatur run in the fifth. A pair of sacrifice bunts by Bill Conrad and Dave Gay enabled Greg and Bob Ladd to score, giving Decatur a 5-0 margin. The Jackets scored their final run of the NEIC affair in the sixth Cookson poking out a double to score Elliott, who had singled with one out. Cookson retired the first 13 hitters he faced, before Thomas doubled with one out in the fifth. A Decatur error put two men on base, but Cookson bore down and whiffed the next two batters. Habig’s single to open the seventh was the only other Auburn hit.

Dan Orinski was credited with his first victory and Ray Moore charged with his first defeat. Johnny Logan’s pinch single with the bases full climaxed a four-run rally in the sixth inning that gave the Pirates their eome-from-behind victory over the Dodgers. Logan's shot to right field came on a 3-2 pitch by Don Drysdale and snapped a 4-all tie. Jim Gilliam’s throwing error made three of the runs in the inning unearned.
