Relief Hurler Stock Stars As Orioles Win Two UPI Sports Writer The league-leading Baltimore Orioles call Wes Stock “the AllAmerican out” and that applies not only to his abysmal hitting but also to his incredible pitching. As a hitter, Stock is strictly an out man and a formidable threat to Hank Aguirre’s title as the worst in the American League. Stocx still is looking for his first major league hit even though this is his fifth season with the Orioles. As a relief pitcher, the 29-year-old right-hander also,-' is an out man, but of a completely different variety. He won both ends of a doubleheader in Sunday’s 10-6 and 6-1 sweep over the Cleveland Indians and ran his season record to 5-0 as the Orioles increased their league lead to 2% games by winning their seventh and eighth straight games. Remarkable Form Stock, who went nearly two full years without a defeat .before Boston finally beat him last June 21. displayed the same remarkable form Sunday that enabled him to go unscored upon in 40 of his 53 relief appearances last season. In the opener he hurled two hitless innings and struck out two of the four Cleveland batters he faced after the Indians had hit starter Steve Barber for nine hits and six runs in 3 1-3 innings. Summoned from the bullpen again in the nightcap, Stock shut out Cleveland on one hit over the last three innings as teammate Boog Powell broke a 1-all tie with an eighth inning single off loser Jim (Mudcat) Grant. Jackie Brandt tripled heme two more runs in the same frame. Jim Gentile’s two-run single capped a three-run seventh inning rally that decided the opener. Gentile also belted a two-run homer in the fourth that helped Dick Donovan suffer his third loss in five decisions. Brooks Robinson also homered for Baltimore. Senators Win One Elsewhere in the American circuit, the Washington Senators won their first game under new manager Gil podges and ended an eight-game losing streak with a 7-6 nightcap victory after the New in t a row; 7-1, me’opttier. The Detroit Tigers beat the Bos-., ton Red Sox, 12-3, in the first of two, but dropped the nightcap, 6-5; the Minnesota Twins made it seven in a row with a 5-2 decision over the Chicago White I Sox, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City A’s, 6-4. Errors Hurt Yanks Errors by Bobby Richardson and Clete Boyer in the seventh inning of the nightcap enabled the Senators to score what was to be the winning run against the Yankees. Rookie Jim Duckworth held the Yanks to two runs on six hits over the last six innings to gain his first major league win. Jim Bouton posted his sixth victory with a seven-hitter in the opener as Elston Howard and Mickey Mantle tagged loser Don Rudolph for home runs. Although rapped for two homers by Russ Nixon and one by GaryGeiger, Jim Bunning registered his second victory for the Tigers with an eight-hitter in the opener. Bunning struck out 10 batters and was aided by Al Kaline’s two-run homer and a threerun blast by Dick McAuliffe. Eighth-inning homers by Ed Bressoud and Geiger powered the Red Sox to victory in the second game. The Twins also employed home run muscle to beat the White Sox. Zoilo Versalles, Harmon Killebrew and Earl Battey each connected as Jim Perry scored his third victory with help from Bill Dailey in the eighth. Jim Fregosi and Billy Moran each singled home two runs in the sixth inning to break a 2-all tie between the Angels and the Athletics.

Decatur High Coach Bags*Bass Sunday Bill McCoUy, well-known coach of the Decatur Yellow Jackets was quite proud this weekend of a five and three-quarter pound bass he caught Sunday afternoon. The exact location of the catch was not given, but it was “near Decatur.” Wildcat League To Open Play June 10 Wildcat League baseball will be held, starting June 10, at McMilfield and at Northwest Elementary school, George Waning, league director, announced today.

Railroad Crossings Inspection June 25 Inspection of the Pennsylvania railroad crossings in Deactur will be held Tuesday, June 25, Mayor Donald F. Gage said this morning. A story in Saturday’s Daily Democrat gave the day of Tuesday, but failed to mention the June 25 date, On the June 25 date, members of the city administration will meet with a public relations representative of the company and a district engineer, and an inspection Will be made of the Pennsylvania railroad crossings in the city. Flowers On Graves At Cemetery Okay It is perfectly all right for anyone to place flowers on graves for Memorial Day, officials of the Decatur cemetery board reassured townspeople today. Those who do put flowers or other memorials are asked to remove them by June 15, only if they interfere with necessary mowing. Otherwise, they may be left. The idea of the sign, which does not exactly convey the meaning intended, was purely to keep people from placing flowers in such away that they interfere with necessary and desireable mowing around the Floyd Acker, chairman of the association, stated.

Errors Cost Giants Game With Dodgers UPI Sports Writer Three butter-fingered ballplayers sure messed up the National League race on Sunday. The culprits were shortstop Jose Pagan of the San Francisco Giants and outfielder Duke Carmel and pitcher Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals, but before climbing all over them or suggesting they sell their gloves, be advised they ordinarily do a fine job on defense. Not Sunday, though. Pagan committed three errors and his last one in the 10th inning enabled the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the firstplace Giants, 4-3, and slice their league lead to two games. Carmel, and Gibson each made errors during the 11th inning Os a nightcap against the New York Mets, helping Casey Stengel’s crew snap a seven-game losing streak and defeat the third-place Cardinals for the first time this season, 3-2. The Cards won the opener, 7-4. Bad All Around It was a miserable day all around for Pagan, who went hitless at the plate, set up one Dodger run with • a wild throw in the fourth inning and let in the tying run with another bad peg in the seventh. With Don Larsen pitching in the 10th, Jim Gilliam bounced a routine grounder to Pagan, who then threw wild again, allowing Gilliam to go all the way to second from where he scored the winning run on Tommy Davis’ single. Winner Don Drysdale (6-4) gave up eight hits, including solo homers by Jim Davenport and Felipe Alou. In the Mets-Cards nightcap, Carmel. who had replaced ,er Stan Musial in the 10th, muffed Charley Neal’s 11th inning fly for a two-base error. Chico Fernandez then bunted toward the mound and Gibson fired wildly past first base for another two-base error that scored Neal with the winning run. The defeat cost the Cardinals a chance to move within 3% games of first place after they beat the Mets in the opener on a three-run homer by pinch hitter Charlie James in the eighth inning. St. Louis bombed four of five Met pitchers for 16 hits, including five by Ken Boyer and four by Bill White. Phils Win Pair In otheA National League games the Philadelphia Phillies swept a twin-bill from the Cincinnati Reds 10-4 and 3-0; the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 5-2, in 11 innings, and the Chicago Cubs downed the Houston Colts, 5-1. Over in the American League, the first-place Baltimore Orioles took two from the Cleveland Indians, 10-6 and 6-1; the New York Yankees beat the Washington Senators, 7-1, but dropped the nightcap, 7-6; the Detroit Tigers trounced the Boston Red Sox, 12-3, then lost-the - nightcap, 6-5; the Minnesota Twins defeated the Chicago White Sox, 5-2, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City A’s, 6-4. Ray Culp, a 21-year-old bonus rookie pitcher who received SIOO.000 for signing, and 36 year-old veteran Roy Sievers, who was given only a new pair of basebalk shoes for signing his first major league contract, were the standouts in the Phillies’ sweep of the Reds. Fans Twelve Culp struck out 12 batters and set down the Reds on three hits in recording his fifth victory in the nightcap while Sievers delivered a pinch grand slam homer in the eighth inning to clinch the opener. The grand slam was the 10th of Sievers’ career, trying him with Cleveland’s Joe Adcock for top spot among the active players. Joey Jay suffered his eighth loss against one victory in the second game. Bob Bailey’s three-run homer off loser Frank Funk in the 11th inning powered the Pirates to their victory over the Braves after Bill Mazeroski’s ninth inning homer had tied the score at 2-all. Al Mcßean, fourth of five Pirate pitchers, was credited with his fifth victory. Bob Clemente also homered for Pittsburgh. Home runs by Ron Santo and Ken Hubbs paced the Cubs to victory over the Colt?. Santo's sixth homer in the fifth inning with one man on sent loser tJick Drott to .he showers and Hubbs belted his fourth homer in the seventh off Don McMahon. Bob Buhl allowed eight hits in recording his third victory and first since April 28.

Fastest Field In History In 500-Mile Race By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The conventional, four-cylinder roadsters still ruled the Speedway today, but three other breeds will continue their challenge in Thursday's 500-mile race for a $450,000 jackpot. Two weekends of qualifications screened the fastest field in the gasoline derby's history, with the 33 cars averaging a record 149.028 miles per hour, compared with last year’s 147.330. The lineup includes 26 cars powered by Offenhauser engines, .two British-made Lotus creations powered by Ford power plants, two of Mickey Thompson’s low-slung Chevrolet-powered machines, and three Novis—the most ever entered. The Lotus-Fords and Thompson’s cars are rear-engine machines—4 of 11 that made the field. Seven Cars Bumped Seven cars were “bumped” by faster ones, five of them Sunday when the time trials ended on their usual hectic note. Due to stiff winds throughout the day, there was little activity until only 75 minutes remained. Thus, 11 cars still hoping to qualify were left stranded at the starting line. Bobby Unser, Albuquerque, N.M., perennial winner of the Pike’s Peak Hill Climb in Colorado, was Saturday’s fastest qualifier at 149.421, and Al Miller, Roseville, Mich., another rookie, took the same honors Sunday at a clip of 149.613. Three other “500” rookies will get their first crack at auto racing's richest payoff—Scotland's Jimmy Clark, who with Dan Gurney comprises the very potent Lotus-Ford team; Art Malone, Tampa, Fla., in one .of three Novis, and Johnny Rutherford, Fort Worth, Tex. The hard-luck chauffeur of the trials was Len Sutton, Portland, Ore., runnerup to Rodger Ward in last year’s race. Sutton, who cracked up last Tuesday in practice, was bumped twice, the second time as the eliminations ended, with Ebb Rose, Houston, Tex., the final qualifier. Rose Overcomes “Bump” Rose, also was the only driver to make ja successful comeback after the car originally assigned to him was beaten. That made Sutton the No. 1 alternate for the race, in the event one of the 33 machins in the lineup cannot start. Troy Ruttman, one of four former “500” champions in the lineup, was the only ether successful qualifier Sunday. Twenty unsuccessful tries were made over the weekend. Jim Rathmann and A. J. Foyt are the other former winners in the lineup, but Mexico's Pedo Rodriguez was also bumped. He was the first to go late Saturday, making Clark the only foreigner in the race. Two cars that won the race are in the lineup. Don Branson will drive the machine that Ward had last year and Foyt is in the same car that erried him to victory two years ago. Six of the 12 new cars in the race were built by A.J. Watson, who has built four winners in recent years. Two hours of carburetion tests Tuesday and two hours of pit practice Wednesday will conclude prerace tuneups. Parnelli Jones, pole position winner for the second year in a row in record time, will lead the field on the flying start of the race Thursday.

North Side Os Fort Wayne Is Track Champ INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Fort Wayne North won the Indiana state high school track championship Saturday to hand coach Rolla Chambers the perfect retirement gift. For Chambers, stepping down later this month, it was the fifth state title in 37 years as head coach at North. His team's two-point victory over heavily favored Gary Roosevelt ended the Panthers’ bid for an unprecedented fifth consecutive team .title. A disqualification for Roosevelt's second-place half-mile relay team spelled the difference. Roosevelt had won only the mile relay but had picked up enough points so that even a last-place finish in the half-mile relay would have given it the team title. But Roosevelt's Fred Mackey bumped Alan Rasberry of Gary Froebel on the third leg and the Panthers were disqualified with North moving up to second place. The meet produced eight new records, including the first 14-foot effort by a Hoosier high school pole vaulter. Mike Hanna of Pendleton set a new all-time Indiana high school record with a vault of 14 feet % inch. Hanna set the previous record of 13 feet 1034 inches in last week’s regionals. Two other all-time records were

tied by Bernard Rivers of East Chicago Washington in the 100yard dash and Willie Lewis of Gary Tolleston in the 440-yard dash. Rivers tied his own record of 9.6 seconds in the 100 and Lewis tied his mark of 48.2 seconds in the 440. Two other meet records were set by LaPorte’s Jerry Saffell with times of 14.1 seconds in the • 120-yard high hurdles and 18.6 seconds in the 180-yard low hurdles. Saffell also holds the all-time Indiana records of 13.7 and 18.1 in the two events. Gene Lockyear of Evansville Bosse, who also won the Hinshaw Award as the meet’s outstanding athlete, turned in a new meet record and season best performance of 59 feet 4 inches in the shot put. Stan Baginski of New Carlisle turned in one of the meet’s big surprises with his record-breaking 23 feet 6*/z inches in the broad jump. The last meet record was set by Gary Froebel which won the halfmile relay in 130.2. Rivers joined Saffell as the only double winners in the meet. He also won the 220-yard dash in the non-record time of 21.3 seconds. They were also the only successful defending champions. The other defending champion back, Mike McPhearson of Iqdianapolis Arlington, finished third in the pole vault. Fort Wayne North wound up with 21 points to 19 for Roosevelt jvhile Tolleston was third with 17. Froebel was fourth with 15, followed by Indianapolis Shortridge with 14, Gary Mann with 12 and Richmond. LaPorte and East Chicago Washington with 10 each.
