Roger Craig Finally Ends Losing Siring By United Press International The long wait is over for Roger Craig thanks to a slam that made the entire baseball world feel grapd. The blow heard ’round both the National and American Leagues came off the bat of Jim Hickman at 10:31 p.m., EDT, Friday night and earned Craig and the New York Mets a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It also ended a streak of hard luck during which Craig equalled the National League record of 18 consecutive defeats and came within one loss of matching the major league mark of 19 set by John Nabors in 1916. The string began on April 29 and it must have seeed to Craig right up to the moment that Hickman connected that it would never end. Craig was lifted for a pinchi hitter one batter earlier so he I was technically out of the game when Hickman faced relief pitcher Lindy McDaniel with two out and the bases filled in the bottom of the ninth. McDaniel Grooves Pitch The count went to 3 and 2[before McDaniel grooved the pitch that got Craig out of the rut. Frank Thomas also homered for the Mets while Andre Rodgers and Lou Brock connected for the Cubs. The victory raised Craig’s season record to 3-20 and was widely cheered by the sympathetic i crowd of 11,566 which seemed to 1 regard Craig as a symbol of all 1 its own frustrations. The' Mets had scored only 30 runs all season for Craig, who in 1962 sweated out a 10-24 campaign. The San Francisco Giants advanced to within 4% games of the NL lead with a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-4, the Milwaukee Braves downed the j St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3, and the Houston Colts and Pittsburgh Pirates split 7-6 decisions in a doubleheader that went 15 and 11 innings respectively. In the American League, New York nipped Los Angeles, 1-0, Minnesota beat Boston 5-3, Detroit defeated Chicago, 3-1, after a 2-1 loss, Kansas City downed Cleveland, 5-1, and Baltimore topped Washington, 7-1. Htirls Seven-Hitter Juan Marichal pitched a sevenhitter to win his 18th game for the Giants. Orlando Cepeda drove in three runs with a single and a two-run double and scored 1 San Francisco’s fourth run on a double by Ed Bailey. Rookie Ray Culp suffered his 10th\ setback.

Vada Pinson drove in three runs with a two-run single and a homer as Cincinnati’s Joe Nuxhall registered his 10th winand Los Angeles’ Johnny Podres lost his eighth game. Two errors by Jim Gilliam helped the Reds score five unearned runs in the sixth inning. Denis Menke's three-run homer was the big blow for the Braves, who dealt Bob Gibson his seventh loss against 12 wins. Cardinal manager Johnny Keane announced he will portest the game because of an umpire’s fair-foul ruling during the Braves’ two-run second inning rally. Hal Woodeshick pitched eight innings of shutout relief to win his 10th game for the Colts when Howie Goss doubled and scored from third base on John Weekly’s grounder in the 15th inning. Roberto Clemente broke up the 11- ' inning nightcap with a basesfilled single to give Al Mcßean his 12th victory. Sybilla Sprunger Severely Injured Sybilla G. Sprunger, 523 W. Water street, Berne, was severly injured in a fall at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Cross United Church of Christ in Berene. Miss Sprunger, a former teacher, was taken to Adams county hospital. She has a broken right forearm and a severe scalp laceration which required 21 stitches to close. She also received multiple bruises to her chest and body and a possible skull- fracture. The accident occured when Miss Sprunger fell while descending the steps from the organ loft to the main auditorium of the church. She had accompanied her neighbor, Jon Marhenke, to the church to listen to him play the organ.

Twins Leading American Loop In Home Runs By United Press International Yes, Virginia, there is a race the New York Yankees are losing. It’s not the American League pennant race, of course, because that’s a cakewalk for the world champions who are 8% games in front with 50 to play. They couldn’t lose that one if they let the batboy sub for manager Ralph Houk for the rest of the season. But there is a definite possibility that the Minneosta Twins will wind up wearing a traditional Yankee trademark: the home run title. The Twins have clubbed 150 homers in 113 games to put them five homers ahead of the Yankees and the way the Minnesota musclemen hit ’em in bunches they’re a good bet to finish the season on top. At their present clip they’ll wind up with 210 — only 30 short of the major league reccord set by the 1961 Yankees when Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle combined to hit 115. Reach 150 Mark The Twins reached the 150mark in homers for the season Friday night when Don Mincher, Zoilo Versalles and Rich Rollins connected in a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. It was the Twins’ eighth win in their last nine games but they’re still 9% games out of first plate because the Yankees just go on winning ...winning... winning. The Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 1-0, the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox, 3-1, after a 2-1 loss, and the Kansas City Athletics topped the Cleveland Indians, 5-1 in other AL action. In the National League, Cincinnati beat Los Angeles, 8-4, San Francisco shut out Philadelphia, 4-0, New York defeated Chicago, 7-3, Milwaukee whipped St. Louis, 6-3, and Houston and Pittsburgh split 7-6 wins in a twi-night pair that went 15 and 11 innings ret spectively. Jim Perry yielded homers to Dick Stuart and Carl Yastrzemski but pitched a four-hitter to win his ninth game for the Twins. The Twins scored the winning run in the sixth inning when Lenny Green tripled home a tally and completed the circuit himself on Chuck Schilling’s wild relay. Bouton Wins 15th Bulldog Jim Bouton won his 15th game for the Yankees with a five-hitter to top the Angels’ Don Lee. The Yankees scored the only run of the game in the second inning on singles by Joe Pepitone and Elston Howard followed by Johnny Blanchard’s sacrifice fly. It was Bouton’s fourth shutout. Bubba Phillips’ tie - breaking ■ single paved the way for the Tigers’ 10-inning second-game triumph after relief- pitcher Eddie Fisher earned his sixth victory , for the White Sox in the opener. Pete Ward doubled and scored , the decisive run of the opener on I Camilo Carreon’s single in the [ fourth. Dave McNally, aided by three innings of shutout relief by Dick Hall, won his fourth game for ■ the Orioles behind an eight-hit I attack that included two hits’ . each by Luis Aparicio and Jerry I Adair. Jim Duckworth, tagged for ; three runs in. five innings, suf- ' sered his ninth loss for Washingi ton. ; Moe Drabowsky pitched a three-hitter and struck out five ■ as the Athletics handed Jack , Kralick his 11th defeat, Bobby i Del Greco homered for the AthI letics while Max Alvis connected . for the Indians.

Booster Club Plans

Plans for a kick-off supper for the football team were revealed this morning by Decatur high school Booster club president Fred Isch, following a meeting of the officers and committeemen of the club Friday evening. Tentative date for the kick-off supper is Thursday, August 29, the week preceding the season opening jamboree at Bluffton.

A program concerning rules changes, formations, etc., is being planned for the smorgasbord supper. Halfway Mark Also at the Friday meeting, Ray Seitz and Jack Macklin, co-chair-men of the membership committee, reported that sales are nearing the halfway mark, and are expected to pick up with the opening practice sessions for the team late next week and the following week. The Booster club had a membership of 175 last year, and is shooting for an unprecedented 200 for this year. Seitz and Macklin head the membership committee, which is comprised of Chalky Winteregg, Dick Linn, Herb Banning, Jr., Bun Meyer, Don Sprunger, Fred Isch, John Shaffer, Norm Steury, Jim Cowens and others. Anyone who was a member last year and in the past is asked to contact one of the committeemen listed above, in order that they may use their time in attempting to contact new members for the club. Football Banquet All fathers of football team members are urged to join the club, in order that they may be able to attend the annual football banquet at the end of the season, which 'is open only to members of the Booster club.
