Ladd Brothers Led Jackets In Hitting The Ladd brothers. Bob and Greg, led the NEIC co-champion Decatur Yellow Jackets in hitting during the past season, figures released today by Larry Lehman, team statistician, reveal. Coach Bill McColly’s conference champs failed to produce one .300 or better hitter, but showed a wellbalanced attack with eight players between .210 and .288, leading the way to a 6-1 conference mark and a 12-4 over-all record. Senior Bob Ladd sported the top average, a mark of .288 compiled on 15 hits in 52 trips. Brother Greg, the junior catcher, finished in a flurry after a slow start, and wound up at .270, with 13 base hits in 48 official trips. Three seniors .Bill Conrad, Dave Gay and Jim Martin, ranked behind the Ladds in averages, with marks of .260, .258 and .250 respectively. Max Elliott, whose home run was the big How in the title-clinch-ing contest, finished with a .217 average, add senior Tom Maddox posted a 215 mart. Denny Cookson also finished above .200 with a mark of .210. Bob Ladd had the most hits, 15, followed by Greg with 13 and Cookson and Conrad with 12 apiece. Cookson totaled the most at-bats, 57. RBI Leader The lefty-swinging Bob Ladd was also tops in runs-batted-in with nine, and three others were tied for second spot in that department. Greg Ladd, Maddox and Cookson had six RBl’s each. Elliott, the sophomore speedster topped the team in runs scored with 12, while each of the Ladds and Maddox scored nine time apiece. Cookson compiled a splendid pitching record for the title cowinners, winning nine and losing only once, one of the best records in the history of the school. --Cookson Record In 72 1/3 innings the junior righthander allowed only 27 runs and 33 hits, while striking out 52 and walking a mere 14. He gave up slightly over three runs a contest and lust four hits per garpe. Senior Dave Gay, who worked 31 innings, finished with a three win, two loss record, allowing only 16 runs and 24 hits, while whiffing 37 and issuing only 17 base* on balls. Freshman Sam Blythe lost the only decision in which he was involved a one-run loss to Marion. Blyther hurled 12 1/3 innings, giving up eight runs and nine hits, while striking out five and walking six. Cookson hurled a no-hitter against Bluffton, in addition to a onehitter against Marion. Gay also tossed a one-hitter, in besting Huntington. Following are the individual batting records of the , NEIC cochamps: Name ab r h rbi avg. B Ladd 52 9 15 9 .288 G.

Maury Wills Back In Game, Dodgers Win By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Maury Wills is off and rtinning again—and it’s no coincidence that the Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the win column again. The National League’s most valuable player of 1962 was sidelined two weeks ago with a toe ailment that made the Dodgers hurt all over to the tune of eight losses in 12 games, including five in a row up to Tuesday night. Then, the man who set an alltime major league record of 104 stolen bases in one season returned to action. His chances of challenging his own record are gone for this season, but he showed in his first game that he has a more important quality: the abUity to make the Dodger’s win. The end of the Dodgers’ fivegame losing streak came with a 2-1 victory over the Houston Colts and the “odd run” was Wills’ run—scored in the third inning when he singled, stole second and tallied on a single by Ron Fairly. Wills also scored the Dodgers’ other run when he walked in the first inning, went to third on Junior Gilliam's double and tallied on a wild pitch by Dick Drott. Gain On Giants Bob Miller pitched five-hit ball for eight innings to win his fourth game with the ninth-inning relief aid of Ron Perranoski as the Dodgers advanced to within three games of the first-place San Francisco Giants, who were beaten by the surprising Chicago Cubs, 6-1. The Milwaukee Braves rallied after 22 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings for three runs in the ninth inning to beat the New York Mets, 3-2, in the only other NL game. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were rained out. ■ The Dodger victory was a typical "Wills win’’ because the er-ratic-hitting Los Angeles club was held to three hits in seven innings by Drott. It was the old story of the light-hitting team needing something extra—and the 1962 story of Wills’ sped producing that something extra. Cabs Beat O’DeU ’ The Cubs scored their eighth victory in their last 10 games as Bob Buhl pitched a five-hitter against the Giants for his fifth win of the season. Billy O’Dell, who had won eight straight games, suffered his first defeat against a 10-hit Cub attack led by Ron Santo and Ernie Banks with three hits each. Relief pitcher Galen Cisco walked in the tying run and forced in the winning run when he hit pinch-hitter Mack Jones with a pitched ball to present the Braves with their win over the Mets. Carlton Willey, ex-Brave, had shut out the Milwaukee swingers with two hits until the ninth. Relief pitcher Claude Raymond notched his fourth win for Milwaukee while the loss was Willey’s fifth against four wins. Little League Games Rained Out Tuesday Tuesday evening’s scheduled Little League play was washed out by the heavy rainfall, but one game- has already been rescheduled. The Indians and Yankees will play at 6 o’clock Friday evening, preceding a Pony League game that was originally to be played at 6:30 p.m. between the Decatur Cubs and Monmouth. The game will be played at about 8 p.m. Weather permitting, the Red Sox are scheduled to meet the Indians at 6 o’clock this evening at the Homestead diamond. Two games are on tap Thursday night, the Yankees and White Sox in the first game and the Tigers and Senators in the second contest. International League Northern Division W L Pct.

Problems Besetting Southeast Conference ATLANTA (UPI) — The Southeastern Conference, long recognized as one of the powerful athletic groups in the nation, is beset with problems these days that could tear it apart. While it is too early for a definite conclusion, it appears the biggest of these wedges may be the introduction of Negro athletes into this Deep South conference which has held the color line since its formation three decades ago. It is no longer a question of if — but when. The University of Kentucky has announced that it will start awarding athletic scholarships to Negroes this coming school year. This means that Kentucky probably will have Negroes on its varsity football team in the fall of 1964 — and that’s when the parting of the, ways may begin. Hie conference appears split right down the middle on the racial issue. Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, all of which have Negro students, have indicated they are willing to play racially mixed teams on a home-and-home basis. But in the three deepest of the Deep South states — Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana — the other half of the Dixie dozen doesn’t appear as ready to accept Kentucky’s plans. The six questionable schools, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississipi State, Louisiana State and Tulane, have declined to come out flatly one way or the other. They all have taken a wait-and-see stand. The big question for most of these appears to involve playing against racially mixed teams at • home. Most already have played ■ against teams with Negroes in s games away from home. Palmer Anxious To ■ Get Back On Tour PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Arnold Palmer, one of professional golf’s ’ biggest moneymakers, said today 'he feels “just grea 4 ” and is anxi--1 ous to get back on the tour after ■ a three-week layoff to rest up and : reshape his game. 1 Palmer, voted the PGA player of the year in 1962 after banking $81,448 in official earnings, took a break after he lost his golden touch last month. i “I’m ready to go,” he said from . his Latrobe, Pa., home. “I plan to play in the Thunderbird next week. I’m flying out of here on , Sunday.” Palmer plans to play a few tuneuft, rounds at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. N. Y.. be<fore the SIOO,OOO Thunderbird gets under way there June 13. How does he feel about, his ! game after the layoff? “I think my game is in pretty good shape now,” he said. “But you never really know until you get into competition. And as for putting . . . well, that’s something else again You have to wait until you’re on that course.” During his stay in Latrobe, Palmer said he did not touch a golf eldb for the first week. “After that I began to play per-

Booster Clu b Opens Membership Drive

Plans for the annual membership drive of the Decatur high school Booster club were announced this morning by president Fred Isch and the co-chairmen in charge of the drive. Richard Linn, club secretary, Raymond Seitz and Jack Macklin have been appointed by president Isch to head the drive, which opens immediately with a 200-member-ship goal. The three co-chairmen have selected 11 other club members whose past work with the club has shown them to be quite active, who will work with them this summer during the annual drive. Named to the membership drive committee were the following: Herb Banning, Jr., club treasurer; John Shaffer, John Isch, Jim CowOrioles Beat Yanks, Regain League's Lead By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer A slight twiten In Steve Barber’s left shoulder explains today why the New York Yankees have a very large pain in the neck. A 24-year-old left-hander who can throw a baseball through the side of a barn, Barber felt the twitch about three weeks ago. He informed Baltimore Oriole manager Tommy Hitchcock then and there that he would rely henceforth on his fast ball. The six-foot, 190-pound Barber couldn't have caused more grief among American League hitters if he had announced that he was going to fire 50-calibre dum-dum bullets out of a machine gun at them. Because Steve’s fast ball is just about all any pitcher needs—as evidence his 9-4 record that makes him the first AL pitcher of the season to reach nine victories. A crowd of 37,137 in Baltimore saw Barber move the Orioles into first place Tuesday night yrith a 3-1 victory over the Yankees. "I haven’t thrown a curve in four games,” said Barber after the game. “I think that’s what was bothering my shoulder. Any” ! way. I never did have a good curve ball.’’ Equals '62 Mark Barber’s ninth win enabled him to equal his entire total of 1962, part of which he spent in the Army, and made him a leading candidate to become a 20-game winner this season. That would make him the first 20-game winner in modern Baltimore baseball history. Barber struck out six and walked three in 8 2-3 innings before Dick Hall emerged from the bullpen to retire Elston Howard for the final out. Johnny Rpwell’s two-run fifth-inning homer was the big blow of the Orioles’ attack on Ralph Terry (6-5) and Mickey Mantle homered for the Yankees. The win snapped an Oriole five-game losing streak. The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Chicago White Sox, 1-0, the Cleveland Indians downed the Detroit Tigers, 6-4, the Washington Senators shaded the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Athletics, 5-0, in other AL games. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs topped the San Francisco Giants, 6-1, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged out the Houston Colts, 2-1, and the Milwaukee Braves nipped the New York Mets, 3-2. Hurls Three-Hitter Dan Osinski pitched a threehitter and Lee Thomas singled home Felix Torres with the only run of the game in the second inning as the Angels dealt the White Sox a loss that prevented them from sharing first place. It was the fourth win in five decisions for Osinski while Gary Peters suffered his third loss against the same number of victories. Pinch hitter Mike De La Hoz’ two-run homer was the big blow of a five-run seventh-inning rally that gave Cleveland’s Jerry talker his third win of the year. f Joe Adcock also homered for the Indians, who handed Hank Aguirre his fifth defeat against four wins. Tom Cheney turned in a fivehitter embellished with six strikeouts to win his fifth game on the wings of Don Lock’s fourth homer in as many games—a sixth-inning poke of f Boston’s Earl Wilson. It was the third straight win for the Senators and snapped Cheney’s personal sixgame losing skein. ' ■ Bob'’ Allison’ connected for his 14th homer of the year with two mates aboard and Earl Battey also homered for the Twins as Jim Perry went the distance for his fourth triumph. Allison’s 380-foot smash, ■ which ’gave 'him the AL lead, came in the third inning after singles by Vic Power and Harmon Killebrew. iodically,” he said. “Last week I played quite a bit just about every day, in fact.”

Deplore Latest Break Between AAU,HCAA NEW YORK (UPI) — Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and champion miler Jim Beatty joined Gen. Douglas MacArthur today in deploring the latest outbreak of hostilities between the NCAA and the AAU. Wilson urged that MacArthur call the opposing sides together “in the very near future” to forestall another track “war” that would weaken the U.S. team for its dual meet against Russia in Moscow next month. The Olympic leader said in Chicago that the current dispute “apparently has come out of a difference of interpretation of Gen. MacArthur’s March 12 ruling” when the five-star general first mediated the AAU-NCAA squabble over control of track meets. Beatty asked the warring factions to discontinue their feud because “it would be a shame if this summer in Moscow the men's track and field team of Russia defeated the U.S, men’s team for. the first time.” Sparks New Feud The latest eruption was caused by the Eastern Collegiate AthleticConference (ECAC) announcement Monday that member schools should not participate in AAU-sanctioned track meets unless sponsors of these events obtained sanctions from the U.S. Track and Field Federation, a wing of the NCAA. This immediately produced an outburst from MacArthur, since a new war could prevent NCAA athletes from competing in the AAU championships at St. Louis June 21-22. Without USTFF sanction, many of the nation's outstanding college track stars would shun the event that selects members for the meeting against Russia in Moscow. “I am reluc.tant to believe that either of these groups,‘directly or indirectly, intend to abbrogate their given word to the detriment of their country and the athletes whose activities they control,” MacArthur said in a statement that urged a halt to the new flareup. Hit NCAA Stand Angry AAU officials charged the NCAA with reneging on the agreement that MacArthur hammered out early this year. The AAU maintained that MacArthur’s ruling under this agreement gave it sole sanctioning power in the United States for open track and field competition. Some NCAA officials, however, never accepted that edict because it failed to grant the USTFF’s proposal for dual track meet sanctions. Cummings Athletic Head At Anderson ANDERSON, Ind. (UPI) — Charles Cummings, who piloted the Anderson Inciians to a state high school basketball championship in 1946 ano compiled a four year record ■of 78 and 26, has signed as athletic director in the Anderson school system.
