Roger Craig Handed 16fh Loss Os Year By United Press International It was the 300th homer of Roy Sievers’ career but the man who will never forget it is pitcher Roger Craig. For Sievers it meant joining 21 other sluggers in the 300-homer class but for Craig it was another heart-breaking jolt in the hardluck pitcher’s incredible series of bad breaks. Sievers connected with one on and one out in the last of the ninth inning Friday night to hand the Philadelphia Phillies a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets and give them 10 wins in their last 13 games and 17 in their last 24. It also left Craig in a state of numbed shock for about a half hour after the ball sailed into the left field stands. That one bad pitch extended Craig’s personal losing streak to 14 games and tagged him with his 16th defeat against two victories. He hasn’t won a game since April 29 and the. Mets haven’t even scored a run for him in six of the 14 straight losses. “I make one mistake and lose the game," he groaned in the clubhouse. ‘‘One mistake and the game’s gone.” Hits First Pitch Craig carried a three-hit shutout into the ninth but Tony Gonzales tripled with one out and Sievers followed by hitting the first pitch served to him into the stands. The Mets had scored off Cal McLish in the fourth on Joe Christopher's double, an outfield fly and a wild pitch. The first - place Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Braves 4-2, the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2, the Pittsburgh Pirates clubbed the Chicago Cubs 9-4, and the St. Louis Cardinals topped the Houston Colts 7-2 in other National WHEN ITS TOP QUALITY READY-MIX CONCRETE YOU WANT THE MOST THEH’S THE TIME TO CALL FOR o s T 10% Discount ON ALL READYMIX CONCRETE Order . . .YOST’S CRUSHED GRAVEL FOR YOUR DRIVE!

League games. ® In the American League, Detroit defeated Los Angeles 10-5, Washington shaded Minnesota 6-5, and Kansas City edged out Baltimore 2-1. Frank Howard hit two homers as the Dodgers scored their third straight victory and their 11th in 13 games. Don Dr y s d a 1 e was tagged for Hank Aaron’s 27th homer but struck out 11 and walked only one in winning his 12th game. Bob Hendley suffered his sixth setback. Giants Continue Collapse Tom Harper drove in all Cincinnati’s runs with two homers and a single as the collapsing Giants dropped their ninth decision in 12 games. Willie McCovey extended his hitting streak to 24 games with a single off John Tsitouris, who pitched a four-hitter and faced only 30 batters. Bob Friend went eight innings to win his 11th game behind a 16-hit Pittsburgh attack that included three safeties by Jim Pagliaroni and two each by Bill Virdon, Bill Mazeroski, Donn Clendenon and Manny Mota. Billy Williams had a three-run triple for the Cubs but Dick Ellsworth suffered his seventh loss against. 13 wins. Dick Groat collected a double and two singles to take over the NL batting leadership with a .331 average and Bill White hit a homer and a single to spark the Cardinals’ 11-hit attack. Ron Taylor shut out the Colts with four hits over the last 6 2-3 innings to win his fifth game. Senators Are Hottest Team In American By United Press International Quick now, what's the hottest team in the American League? No it isn’t the New York Yankees resplendent with their 5%game lead but the Washington Senators who are in 10th place, a mere 23 games behind the world champions. The Senators have Won 11 of their 14 games this month for a .786 percentage that makes manager Gil Hodges look like a genius even if it doesn’t make Washington, D.C, the baseball capital of the world. The Senators scored their third victory in four games Friday night when they nipped the Minnesota Twin* 6-5 on the strength ' of the hitting and fielding heroics of centerfielder Don Lock. Lock drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the top of the 13th inning and then robbed Bob Allison of a homer with a leaping catch in the bottom of the frame. Osten Wins Fourth A total of 40 players saw action in the four-hour and 23-min-ute game with Claude Osten, the fifth Washington pitcher, winning his fourth game and Jim Perry, the seventh Minnesota pitcher, losing his sixth. Harmon Killebrew hit his 200th homer of his career for the Twins. Lock's game winning single scored Ken Retzer, who reached second base on shortstop Zoilo Versalles’ throwing error and advanced to third on an infield put. Lock had two other hits, including a homer, in addition to the decisive; single to lead the Senators’ 12-hit attack. The Detroit Tigers rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-5, and the Kansas City Athletics nipped the Baltimore Orioles 2-1, in other American League games. Cleveland at New York and Boston at Chicago were rained out. Dodgers Top Braves In the National League, Los Take Home Something Special CHICKEN IN-THE*COOP / A Complete Dinnori ONLY $ 1«35 To Order .

Three Horse Shows During 4 - H Fair

Three horse shows, one more than in previous years, have been scheduled for the annual Adams county 4-H fair July 30-31 and August 1. The record number of shows, all of which are staged by the Adams county 4-H horse and pony club, has been necessitated by the substantial increase in club membership which has made it virtually impossible for all members to participate in just two shows. Two of the shows are scheduled for the first day of the fair, Tuesday, July 30. The third show will be held Wednesday, July 31. The first of the three, the junior horse show, will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday for all club members 13 years old and younger. It will include a full schedule of events— egg race, obstacle course, horsemanship, and flag race. Three trophies, one each for grand champion, reserve champion and best i horsemanship, will be awarded to participants in the junior show. The second show will be held Tuesday evening at 8:15. Titled the senior horse show it will include all club members 14 years' or age and older. The show will open with a precision drill executed by the senior members. The rest of the events will be races and contests similar to those in the junior show. The lighting for the horse show ring has been greatly improved for this year, a factor which should add much to the senior show. Grand champion, reserve champion, senior horsemanship and sportsmanship trophies will be awarded after this show. The third show, the exhibition of breeding classes, is scheduled Major League Leaders By United Press International National League Player 4 Club G. AB R. H. Pct.

Lislon-PatJerson Fight Is Sellout LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD—Pro- " moter Al Bolan ' announced today t there will be a "complete sellout" r of all 7;691 paid seats Monday night for the Sonny Liston-Floyd Patterson heavyweight title fight ‘ at the Convention Center. ’ He said the gross gate for this • return 15-round fight should ap- ’ proach $300,000 and set a new Ne- ’ vada record for fights. 1 Both champion Sonny Liston, 30, > and ex-champ Patterson, 28, were L scheduled for their final news • conferences today. Big Sonny, who won the title , from Floyd on a first-round knocks out at Chicago last Sept. 25, planned to take a brief workout today at the Thunderbird Hotel " before his conference. 5 Because Sonny was so destruc- • tive at 214 pounds in Chicago, he 5 plans to scale about the same at 1 Saturday’s weigh-in. Patterson, who has finished his • public workouts, planned to talk t to the writers today and then diss appear until the weigh-in. Floyd > hopes to register about 195 pounds six more than at Chicago. The Nevada State Athletic Coml mission announced late Friday . that the safety rule providing a , knockout defeat for any fighter i floored three times in one round would be waived for this fight. But the commission also an- > nounced that the safety rule rer quiring an eight-count for a floored > boxer before he can continue will . be enforced. As champion Sonny tapered off training today, he disclosed he had slapped contender Cassius Clay’s face in the Thunderbird ' Hotel’s game room on Thursday • when Cassius called Sonny “a , chump—not a champ." Liston said, “He didn’t try to slap back. He just grabbed the [ edge of a crap table to keep from J falling down.” If Sonny beats Floyd Monday night, Sonny will make his next ' defense against Clay at Philadelphia’s Municipal Stadium Sept. 30. . Carl Erskine To Be Here Next Wednesday The Carl Erskine “Big League” • training session was postponed 1 Friday morning until next Wednes--1 day at 10 a. m., league director • George Waning said today. Heavy rainfall prevented the sesI sion Friday morning so it was ■ postponed until Wednesday. The 1 public is invited to attend the ses- ■ sion, which will be held at Worth- ■ man Field. 1 ■ i If you have something to sell or » trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
