Decatur Cubs Take Pony League Title

The Cubs clinched the 1963 Adams County Pony League regular season championship and Tom Lose hurled a no-hitter to move the Cardinals into a second-place tie, in a doubleheader at Worthman field Monday evening. The Cubs whipped Geneva with three seventh inning tallies, recording their eigth win against three losses, with one game to play. Geneva finished its season at 7-5, an identical record now owned by the Cardinals after they downed the Braves 11-0 last night. The Cubs rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie and went on to record their clinching victory. Doug Spaulding reached base on an error to start the inning and Lon Hawkins singled. Spaulding scqred when Dave Hackman’s grounder forced Hawkins. Hackman later scored on a bad throw in a run-down between third and home, and Don Williams who reached on an error, scored on a wild pitch. Early Lead Geneva scored one run in the 'second iiinlrig and another run in the third. The Cubs scored their first run in the third when Hawkins walked and scored on Williams’ single. and took a 5-2 lead in the fifth when they scored four times. A walk to Bill Brown, Spaulding’s single, an error, and Dave Hackman’s triple and a wild pitch produced the runs. Geneva, however, bounced back in their half of the fifth to tie the score on a walk, a single and an error. Hawkins, the winning Cub hurler, fanned nine Geneva hitters and issued five bases on balls. Lose, Cardinal righthander, fired his second five»inning no-hit-ter in a row in the firSt game when he mowed down the Braves, who finished their season with six wins and six losses. Second No-Hitter Lose fanned nine and gave up two walks, the only Brave base runners. He had tossed a no-hit-ter at Geneva in his last outing, in a game which was also called after five innings due to the league’s ten-run rule. He got all the runs he needed

in the first winning when the Cards scored twice on a walk to Greg Litchfield, and singles by Lose, Steve Burger and Dave Anderson. The winners added four tallies in the second frame on two errors, and singles by Lose, Burger, Gary Busse and Rich Caciano. The Cards added their final five runs in the fifth on two walks, an error, a single by Litchfield and doubles by Ron Smith and Dave Baughn, to finish the game in five innings.

■ Liston Knocks Out Patterson In First Round By JACK CUDDY UPI Sports Writer LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD—With Floyd Patterson now demolished as a challenger, heavyweight champion Sonny Liston turned his attention today to zipping the lip of young Cassius Clay in a $7 million title fight at Philadelphia’s Municipal Stadium, Sept 30. Big Sonny, whose ham-like fists floored ex-champion Patterson three times for a knockout at 2:10 of the first round Monday night, will formally sign at Philadelphia on Friday for his second defense against cocky young Clay of Kentucky, it was learned authoritatively today. Thus will Liston make good on a promise — or was it a threat—he made months ago when he told Clay, “You’re next, loud mouth.” Brash Cassius and glowering Sonny will do their pen wielding i at Philadelphia at 2 p.m. EDT Friday. ‘ 28th Straight Win Sonny, who registered his 28th straight victory and 23rd knockout before a sellout 7,816 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, will receive 40 per cent of net receipts from the Philadelphia s fight. Clay has agreed to take ’ 22% per cent. Patterson, who announced he will not retire despite two first s round knockouts in his latest two - ring appearances, admitted he’s , out of the title picture right now. Surprisingly he added that he 1 gives Clay a chance to beat Sonj ny in September because of - Clay’s youth, speed, weight i (about 210 pounds), and punch. e Bob Nilon, president of Intercontinental Promotions, Inc., admitted today that Liston and Clay E already have come to terms and 9 that they will be in Philadelphia 1 Friday afternoon for a “news 1 conference.” 2 Liston, weighing 215% pounds 1 to Pattersons 194%, had to take 9 only one good punch —a left 9 hook to the face early in the ) round Monday night — during his 1 mayhem performance against Floyd. The lefthook knocked Son--5 ny back onto his heels for a split second, then he was after the i challenger and required only 2:10 1 to blast Patterson’s ambitions of 9 winning the heavyweight crown a 0 third time. 0 Flqyd, 28, already will go down 0 in history as the only bekvy--0 weight to win the crown twice—j he did it against Archie Moore I and Ingemar Johansson.. j But Floyd’s reputation was tarj nished considerably Monday night because at times he seemed j somewhat fearful of the massive, solid-punching champion. j And Floyd was booed by the ’ fans when he left the ring. He 1 could draw but little consolation from the fact that he had lasted J four seconds longer Monday 1 night than at Chicago on Sept. ) 25 last year when Sonny took him ) out with a single knockdown at ) 2:06 of the first round. ) Sonny barraged Patterson to ) the body and head early Monday ) night and dropped him to one ) knee with a right to the head, j Floyd was up at “one” and took . the mandatory eight count on his 9 feet. Almost immediately the cham--1 pion staggered Floyd with a left ) hook to the head and then bar- ) raged him at close quarters. Pats' terson tried to ie up Liston in a I clinch but Sonny smashed him ) again and again in the left ribs j with his right fist and broke up I the clinch. Then he dropped Patj tersen tried to tie up Liston in a ) head. j Again Patterson was up almost immediately and took the eight . count standing. . i But he wasn’t standing long because Sonny, from his “rocking chair,” unleashed a murderous barrage that sent Floyd reeling sideways. Hien a left hook exploded in Floyd’s face and he landed heavily on his haunches on the canvas. He was trying to stand up when referee Harry Krause of Las Vegas reached the full count of “10.” It was Patterson’s fourth defeat i and third knockout in 42 professional bouts that included 38 wins and 29 kayoes. > Las Vegas, the gambling me- - tropolis, which staged its ninth t tit}e fight in three years, boasted > today a new Nevada record gate of $286,180, which bettered the i $270,775 drawn by Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries at Reno on July 4, 1910. « Officials of Sports Vision Inc., estimated that approximately 300,000 spectators had paid about $1,200,000 for closed circuit television of the fight at various cit- , ies in the United States and Canada. Promoter Al Bolan estimated that Liston and Patterson will receive about $300,000 each from the net proceeds of gate, television, radio, movies, etc., after exhibitors ’the television company and the promoters are paid off. Liston is expected to make more than $1,000,000 for his end of September fight in Philadelphia, where promoter Nilon hopes for 80,000 fans and a $10,000,000 fate. Movies and other ancillaries will collect a gross $6,000,000.

Yankees Hike Lead By Win Over Angels By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer It looks like an old-fashioned New York Yankee runaway—perhaps the easiest since the Yankees themselves romped by 12 games in 1947. That’s the picture in the American League today with the world champions 7% games in front of the pack and just starting a long home stand where they almost always are at their best. The Yankees made it four in a row on their current home stand when they whipped the Los Angeles Angels, 8-4, Monday night and opened a 7%-game lead on the idle second-place Chicago White Sox. No other major league games were scheduled in either league. Ralph Terry, the World Series hero of 1962, staggered the full nine innings on the strength of an early Yankee assault that produced a 7-0 lead after three innings. Terry was tagged for 12 hits — including Lee Thomas’ two-run homer in the fourth inning and Bob Sadowski’s two-run single in the eighth — but evened his season record at 10-10. Tom Tresh, back in the lineup after missing three games with a neck injury, sent the Yankees off in front against rookie Fred Newman with a two-run homer in the first inning. Then the Yankees routed Newman with a five-run third-inning, featured by two-run singles by Tresh and Elston Howard, and added another run in the fifth on a homer by Johnny Blanchard. Tresh’s homer was his 16th of the season and Blanchard's his fourth. Terry, a 23-game winner in 1962, struck out four and walked one. The Yankees won the 1962 pennant by five games and the 1961 and 1960 flags by eight. Their 10game margin over the - field in 1958 is the biggest victory bulge since the 1947 team coasted in by 12 lengths. The White Sox will have a chance to gain ground tonight when they play a twi-night doubleheader in Detroit. Other AL games have Los Angeles at New York, Minnesota at Cleveland, Washington at Baltimore and Kansas City at Boston. In tonight’s National League games, Pittsburgh is at Los Angeles, New York at San Francisco, St. Louis at Milwaukee and Philadelphia at Houston. Cincinnati is at Chicago in an afternoon game. The Twins defeated the Braves, 5-2, and die Cardinals beat the Kansas City Athletics, 4-3, in Monday night exhibition games at Milwaukee and Kansas City, respectively. Rookie Jim Roland pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and Harmon Killebrew and Earl Battey hit homers for the Twins. George Altman’s two-run seventhinning single was the big blow for the Cardinals. Security Division Looks To New Home INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Employment Security Division today was looking forward to the prospect of new district headquarters in Indianapolis or at least sprucing up the old offices. The division will open bids Wednesday on a new or remodeled home for the Indianapolis office, which is at present located in a downtown office building for which the state pays about $49,000 yearly rent. Prospective bidders were asked to bid on either building a new structure or remodeling an existing one within the mile-square of downtown Indianapolis. The cost of the building is to be paid from federal taxes.
