Purkey Hurls Shutout Win Over Colts By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer The Cincinnati Reds are back in the National League pennant picture because Bob Purkey and Johnny Edwards went to the movfes last week. Purkey, a 23-game winner last year who missed the first month of this season with a shoulder injury, became alarmed when he lost four straight games, so he and his batterymate decided to look at films of the big righthander’s recent performances. Edwards immediately spotted a change in Purkey’s delivery. “The movies showed that Bob was unconsciously favoring his arm,” the Reds’ baby-faced catcher revealed. “He wasn’t rearing back like he used to. He was kinda pushing his fast ball up there and as a result it lacked that little hop.” The lesson Purkey learned fj>m that single movie session paid off handsomely* Sunday. Big Bob’s fast ball had plenty of hop on it as he pitched his first complete game of the season—a fourhit, 4-0 victory over the Houston Colts 'in the opener of a doubleheader. Sneak Into Third The Reds also won the nightcap, 8-1, behind ancient Joe Nuxhall to boost their latest winning streak to seven games and sneak into third place, only one game back of the pace-setting St. Louis Cardinals. The Los Angeles Dodgers edged St. Louis, 4-3, but the Cardinals maintained their half-game lead over second-place San Francisco when the Milwaukee Braves walloped the Giants, 10-4. The Pittsburgh Pirates scored a comeback 7-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets took a pair from the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0 and 4-1. In the American League, the pace-setting New York Yankees blanked the Boston Red Sox, 8-0; the Baltimore Orioles downed the Minnesota Twins, 4-1; the Detroit Tigers ripped the Kansas City A’s,. 11-2; the Washington Senators blanked the Los Angeles Angels, 4-0, and the Cleveland Indians shut out the Chicago White Sox, 2-0, after suffering, a 2-1 setback. * Season’s Fastest Purkey needed only one hour and 39 minutes — the fastest clocking of the major league season — in subduing the Colts. He didn’t walk a single batter and struck out six as he coasted to victory behind a three-run homer by Edwards in the third inning. Nuxhall scattered eight hits and struck out nine before retiring at the end of seven innings in the nightcap when he reinjured a thigh muscle. Bob Skinner and Vada Pins o n hit back-to-back homers off Chris Zachary, who was making his first major league start for the Colts. Jim Gilliam beat the Cardinals almost single-handed. He scored the Dodgers' first run in the fourth inhing and hit a three-run homer off loser Ernie Broglio in the next frame. Dick Groat homered for the Cards. Spahn Hits Homer Warren Spahn hit the 33rd homer of his career to ignite a sevenrun Milwaukee rally in the fifth inning. The wily southpaw went on to post his 10th victory of the season andthe 337th of his career. Hank Aaron smacked his 21st homer and a single to spark the Braves’ attack against four San Francisco pitchers. The Pirates overcame a fourrun deficit in beating the Cubs with the aid of Roberto Clemente’s three-rim homer in the seventh. Ron Santo drove in four Chicago runs with a homer and a single. Harvey Haddix picked up the victory in relief and Glen Hobbie was the loser. The Mets’ sweep enabled them to turn over their cellar berth to the Colts. Carlton Willey pitched a two-hitter in the opener and Tracy Stallard and Al Jackson combined to limit the Phils to seven hits in the second game. Jimmy Piersall trotted around the bases backwards after hitting his 100th major league homer and his first for the Mets in the opener.

THE DOTE DAfl*Y ElggpCU?, DECATUR.INDUNA

"The Bullpen" By Bob Shraluka ill Eloph Baxter Landrum RICK Eloph of the Senators wins this week’s “hitter of the week” honors, with the “pitcher of the week’” honors being divided 1 between Jack Baxter and Ron Landrum of the Senators. ELOPH hit at a .500 pace in two games, with four hits in eight trips, two of the hits home run blasts. The Senator catcher cracked his first four-baser of the seasoh Wednesday with two mates aboard in a 15-12 loss to the Red Sox. Thursday night, he hit a tworun single in the' first inning to start his mates on the road to a 71 win over the Tigers, and later rapped out another single and bis second circuit’ clout in two nights. BAXTER and Landrum shared honors in pitching the Senators to their second win of the season Thursday, in limiting the hard-hit-ting Tigers to only one run and eight hits. Baxter worked the first four innings, allowing the lone Tiger run and scattering seven hits. Landrum hurled the final two innings and preserved Baxter’s victory, as he pitched shutout ball and gave up only one hit. * THE Indians held onto their percentage point lead over the defending champion White Sox. as each team scored a pair of victories in last week’s play. The Indians squeezed out wins over the Senators and Red Sox with eight and three-run rallies respectively, and the Sox nosed the Tigers in eight innings with a three-run rally in. cne of their two wins. \ THUS far the Little League pennant race has developed into a twoteam fight. The Indians are 4-0 and the White Sox 5-1. None of the other four teams is over the .500 mark, with the Tigers and Yankees tied for third place with three wins and four losses eacn. The Senators are fifth, with a 2-5 mark, and the Red Sox sixth with one win and four losses.

FIVE home runs were hit in last week’s play, two by Eloph, Mike Schnepf’s second of the season, Butch Fisher’s second of the year, and Dave Winteregg clouting his first. of the campaign. TOM Schultz of the White S3x still leads the league with three, while Schnepf, Fisher, Eloph, Dave Jackson and Jim Laurent of the Tigers have poked two each. Winteregg and Rick Archer of the White Sox have one each,: as do Pat Kohne and Alan Hutker of the Tigers, Mike Curtin of the Indians and Ken Gause of the Red Sox. ITS good news to hear that Dave Jackson of the Tigers will be back in action in another week or two. X-rays showed Jackson’s right arm wasn’t fractured, and so the Tiger will soon be back in competition.

OTHER good news heard by 'Die Bullpen this past week was the fine success of a former Decatur Little Leaguer. Mike Terveer, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Terveer, former Decatur residents, is pitching for Southside Lumber in one of the Fort Wayne Little Leagues—and pitching quite well. Mike, who starred for the Indians in our league last summer, has won his last three outings, pitching a pair of shutouts, and throwing a four-hitter, three-hitter and twohitter in the wins. A BIG game comes up this Thursday when the league-leaders, the Indians and White Sox, clash in the 6 p. m. game at Worthman Field. PONY League play continues this week with a big game this evening when the Cardinals and Braves of Decatur tangle in the second game of a double-header. The Yankees meet the Indians in a Little League game at 6 p. m., also at Worthman. THE Cards own a 2-3 record and the Braves a 1-3 mark. The Decatur Cubs are 3-2 for the season. Adams Central leads this year’s well-balanced county league with a 3-1 record, as all other teams have lost at least twice. PONY League president Rube Wynn has announced that all first gamgg of doubleheaders in the ioop will now begin at 6 p. m., a halfhour earlier than the previous 6:30 starting tirpe. PLAY in the new Wildcat League is fully underway with numerous games being played in the three divisions at the Northwest and McMillen sites. Over 100 Wildcat-, tors, their brothers, sisters, and parents, have signed up to travel by train to Chicago Thursday to see the World Champion New York Yankees meet the White Sox in the finals of a four-game series for the American League lead. 1 '' Little League Standings == W L Pct.

Bouton Tosses Shutout, Yanks Increase Lead By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer Manager Ralph Houk of the New York Yankees should feel vindicated today. It was just a little more than a year ago when Houk was forced to decide between a peagreen rookie and the veteran Robin Roberts. He went for the “kid” and let Roberts go. If your memory is as good as you think it is you’ll recall what a ruckus that move caused, especially after Roberts caught on with the Baltimore Orioles and proceeded to win 10 games. Young Jim Bouton, the “kid” Houk kept instead, struggled to a not-too-impressive 7-7 season and was earmarked for the bullpen when the 1963 American League season began. The 24-year-old right-hander did such a good job in some ear-Ty-season relief roles that Houk promoted him to a starting berth. That was back on May 12 against the Orioles. Since then, Jim has won eight of nine decisions, including a sparkling pourhitter Sunday that Yankees to an 8-0 the Boston Red Sox and increased their AL lead to two full games over the Chicago White Sox, who split a doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians, winning the opener, 2-1, and dropping the nightcap, 2-0. Tigers Beat A’s In the other games, the Detroit Tigers buried the Kansas City A’s, 11-2, the Baltimore Orioles downed the Minnesota Twins, 4-1, and the Washington Senators shut out the Los Angeles Angell, 4-0. Bout on . who reduced * his earned run average to 2.06 by blanking the Red Sox, didn’t give up his first hit until Dick Stuart doubled in the fifth. He gave up three other hits, all singles, and twp walks to boost his season record to 10-2, best won-lost record on the Yankee staff. It also was Bouton’s second shutout and sixth complete game. Roger Maris whacked his 15th homer, a 410-foot blast, and drove in another run to make things easy for Bouton. Clete Boyer also had two hits and drove in two runs as the Yanks reeled off their 10th victory in the last 11 games. Takes Bad Bounce Pete Ward’s bad-bounce single with the bases full in the eighth inning scored the two runs that gave the White Sox their open-ing-game victory. Ray Herbert picked up his seventh victory against four losses but needed help from Hoyt Wilhelm over the last two innings. In the nightcap, Barry Latman set the White Sox down on five scattered hits as the Indians snapped a three-game losing streak. An error by Ward and Tito Francona’s single in the first inning accounted for the two Cleveland runs. The Tigers, who finally are beginning to play the kind of ball everyone expected of them, picked up their first straight win as rookie Pete Lolich gained his second victory. The Tigers raked five Kansas City pitchers for 10 hits, including four by Bubba Phillips and Rocky Colavito’s ninth homer. Al Smith drove in two of the Baltimore runs on a homer and a double ,to help* Steve Barber gain his Tltfi* victory, Stu Mil-, tersaved Barber with a neat 2 1-3-inning relief stint. Tom Cheney.-gave up only four hits as the Senators snapped a 10-game losing streak against the Angels. It was Cheney's seventh complete game and seventh victory.

Indiana All-Stars Beaten By Kentucky INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana High School Basketball All - Stars were licking their' wounds today and looking forward to Saturday after the Kentucky All-Stars defeated them here last Saturday night, 90-86. The second half of the charity basketball series will be played at Louisville. Charles Taylor of Owensboro led a superior Kentucky offense by taking scoring honors for the game with 26 points. He sparked a drive which pushed the visitors to an 11-point lead early in the second half and helped hold off an Indiana drive which closed the gap to as little as one point late in the game. , The Kentucky All-Stars pulled ahead midwaythrough the first quarter and led 48-38 at halftime but the Hoosiers came back on the shooting of Bill Russell of Columbus. Indiana went ahead for the last time, 59-58, on a basket by East Chicago Washington’s Rich Mason with 13:47 left in the game. But a series of baskets by Taylor and Clem Haskins of Taylor Countyput the Kentucky club back in front.

Butch Joyner of New castle, tied the score at 84-84, but then missed a free throw which would have given the Hoosiers the lead. Billy Chumbier of Lowes, made it 88-84 with 39 seconds left-and Haskins got the final baskett for Kentucky after Mike Rolf of Muncie hit one for the Hoosiers.

Julius Boros Wins U.S. Open After Playoff BROOKLINE, Mass. (UPI) — Julius Boros, getting his second golfing wind at 4&, thanks Arnold Palmer and Jacky Cupit today for his second U.S. Open victory. “First I want to thank them for the way they played the 17th hole in the final round on Saturday.” Boros said. “And then I want to thank therrf for taking a lot of strokes out there Sunday. They encouraged me a lot.” The oldest player ever to win America’s premier golf tournament, Boros made a shambles of the playoff with Cupit and Palmer by shooting a one-under-par 33-37—70. That put him three strokes ahead of the 25-year-old Cupit, who had a 37-36—73, and six iri front of Palmer, who. suffering from dysentery, carded a 36-40—76. It wasn't the 17th hole that counted Sunday, though. For Palmer it was the 11th, where he blew any chance heJhad by coming up with triple Ij# Saturday’s two final rounds he had triple-bogeyed and bogeyed that par-four 445-yard hple. For Cupit it was the third hole, where he double-bogeyed. Really Hurts “That really hurt,” said Cupit. “But I thought even on the 17th green that I still could tie Julius —until he knocked in his putt for a birdie. I knew I was gone then.” The victory climaxed six weeks of golfing gold for Boros, who at 43 years and 112 days was three days older than Britisher Ted Ray when he won the Open in 1920. Starting with the $12,000 he won by capturing the Colonial Invitational at Fort Worth on May 12, Boros has picked up $44,155 in that six-week span. That doesn’t count the $1,500 bonus which he and Cupit and Palmer received for Sunday's playoff before 12,500 on the hot. exacting country club course of Brookline. “But I’ll take it.” Boros said, “for it's spendable.” Credits Wedge Shots He credited his wedge shots out of the rough for his victory. “I always practice getting out of the rough for the Open, and Open courses usually have heavy rough.” Boros said. “I was in the rough around the green four times Sunday and each time got down in two. The rough is where you can waste. shots. I don't waste many tha\ way, and that’s why I have been pretty , lucky in the Open." He won it the first time in 1952—“ My biggest golfing thrill, for it was my first tournament victory,” Boros pointed out.
