Wildcat Players To Fort Wayne Monday Decatur Wildcat league members will attend “progress day” in Fort Wayne Monday as the annual, program is held at McMillen park in that city. The Decatur boys will join nearly 5,000 Fort Wayne lads who are members of the Wildcat league in that city as the program gets underway at 8:30 a m. with a Kitty league exhibition game. Feature of the program will be the appearance of four of the stars of the Chicago Cubs, all of whom i are recognized as among the tops in the National League at their positions. Cub stars on the program will include Ron Santo, third baseman; Billy Williams, outfielder, and Bob Buhl and Larry Jackson, pitchers. Santo’was named as the National League’s sophomore of the year in 1962, and is near the .300 batting mark this season, as well as rated as one of the top fielders at the "hot corner.” Williams was the National League’s rookie of the year in 1961 and also had an outstanding sophomore year in 1962. Buhl and Jackson are both veteran right-handed hurlers and rated among the best in the majors. Buhl joined the Cubs in 1962 after many years as a mainstay of the Milwaukee Braves l staff, while Jackson was obtained in a trade last fall from the St. Louis Car- J dinals. His top season was in 1960, when he had an 18-13 record. Decatur Wildcatters will leave for the "progress day” program at 7:30 o’clock Monday morning. Boys not having transportation are asked to be at McMillen park in thsi city by 7:30, and any parents who have room for more boys in their cars are also asked tq report at the park at 7:30. Ervin Inniger To Attend Indiana U. Ervin Inniger, one of the prime factors in two regional championships in the past three years for Berne-French high school, will enroll at Indiana University this fall, it was learned today. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Inninger of 155 Dearborn St., Berne, the lanky cage star has signed a full grant-in-aid scholarship to attend the Bloomington school this fall. Inniger graduated from BerneFrench high school this past spring, after being a regular for the school's basketball team the past three years. In the 1960-61 season, he was one of the prime factors in Berne 1 winning the sectional, county and j regional titles, and advancing to' the final eight teams in the state, as only a sophomore. In his junior season, the 6-3 cage star, led Berne to another sectional title, and this past sea-| son he was the star of a team which defeated Monmouth in the sectional final and won the regional title before losing to eventual state runner-up South Bend Central in the semi-state. Inniger set several records in his three varsity seasons at Berne, including a total of over 500 points in his senior year, something never before accomplished by a Berne hoopster. Inniger was contacted by a number of colleges since his graduation in the spring, but signed for a four-year athletic scholarship at Indiana University. Two Berne Graduates Enrolled At Taylor Margaret Ann Zuercher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Zuercher, Berne, and Kerry C. Stucky, son of Mr, and Mrs. Loris Stucky, Berne, have been accepted for admission to Taylor University. Upland, this fall. Both are 1963 graduates Ofßerrtf high school. DRIVE IN THEATER SUN. & MON.

Yankees Hold .778 Winning Mark As Home By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The New York Yankees’ Amer- , ican League rivals know how old- , time visitors felt when they bought the Brooklyn Bridge because after a visit to Yankee Stadium this year they’re lucky to escape with their shirts and gold teeth. 1 The Yankees are always tough i but playing them at home is like fighting Sonny Liston in a dark alley. There’s no percentage in it. “Our team, especially our pitching, is geared for the stadium, "explains manager Ralph Houk, viewing the Yankees 1 current eight-game lead through a cloud of cigar smoke. “Also, when we play on the road the fans turn out to see us beaten and they help get the other teams ‘up.’ Sometimes it's like taking on a whole city.” 8 Well, the Minnesota Twins couldn't bring all their fans ,to New York Friday night and they’ll settle Sunday night to escape with all their ball players. Because the Yankees not only knocked them off, 6-5, in the first game of a four game series but also knocked star third baseman Rich Rollins into a hospital. The victory was the Yankees’ 35th in 45 home games — ■ a .778 percentage that compares with the AL record 65-16 home mark they had in 1961. Rollins To Hospital Rollins went to the hospital with a concussion of the left cheekbone after being struck by a wicked grounder hit by Hector - Lopez. Earlier, Lopez delivered an even more damaging blow —a two-run homer that sent the Yankes off to a lead they never lost. Jim Bouton was tagged for two homers, two triples and two doubles but went 8 1-3 innings to win his 13th game with the relief help of Steve Hamilton. Lopez had three hits and Elston Howard. Tony Kubek and Bobby Richardson two each for the Yankees. Minnesota homer hitters were Zoilb Versalles fend . Johnny Goryl. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

White Sox Repeat As Little League Champs

The White Sox won their second Little League pennant in succession Friday evening without throwing a ball as the Tigers ended the hopes of the Indians with a 4-3 victory in an exciting contest. In the nightcap, the Red Sox whipped the Yankees, 8-2, as the Sox finished their season with four wins and 11 losses, an identical record to that of the Yanks. The White Sox finished their season Thursday at 12-3, and the defeat Friday gave the Indians a 10-4 mark, ending their hopes for a tie with the White Sox. Al an Hutker was the big gun in the Tiger victory, tossing a five-hitter, and handcuffing the Indians after the first inning when they scored all three of their runs on a walk-<to Mike Curtin, an error, and Dari Pierce’s single. Cut Margin The Tigers, who wrapped up their season with a fine 10-5 record, scored twice in the second inwing on a walk to Tim Bolinger, Pat Kohne’s single, and an Indian error, to cut the Indian lead to 3-2. Gary Williams opened the Tiger third when he reached base on an error, and then tied the score when he tallied on Hutker’s single. Hutker later brought home what proved to be the winning run when he scored on an error. Hutker allowed only three Indian hits after the first inning, and fanned 12 and walked only four during the six innings. Kerry Knape reached base on an error with one out in the sixth for the Indians, but Hutker got Curtin to pop out and Mike Schnepf to ground out to shortstop, ending the contest. Schnepf tossed a fine game in defeat, allowing only the singles by Kohne and Hutker, while striking out nine and walking only four. > Red Sox Win In the second game, the Red Sox scored four runs in the fourth inning, and added another three to clinch their win. The Yanks scored once in the first inning when Jerry Rich walked and scored on an error, and held that lead until the fourth when the Sox came up with four runs on five walks and an error. The winners boosted their lead to 7-1 in the fifth when they tallied three times on a double by Greg Cook, a walk, and John Hackman’s single. Jim Call’s single produced the final Yank run in the fifth, and the Sox scored their final run in the «ixth -when Kenny Gause i M.O.C.
