Jackets Open Baseball Season With Victory

The Decatur Yellow Jackets scored eight times in the 4th, sth and 6th innings and launched their 1964 baseball season with a 9-3 victory over Van Wert at Worthman Field Thursday evening. A good-sized crowd, considering the weather, watched the season opener which had been moved from the wet Van Wert diamond to Worthman Field. The Jackets broke a 1-1 tie with a pair of fourth-ining tallies, added another run in the fifth and then broke the contest wide open with five scores in the sixth. Sam Blythe opened the fourth by reaching base on an error. Brother Bill Blythe singled to left field, and Sam then scored when, Don Feasel reached base on an error. Jerry Egly’s sacrifice fly brought Bill home with the second run. Starting and winning hurler Den-1 ny Cookson doubled to deep right center field to open the fifth, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Max Elliott’s groundout to the right side of the infield. Break Open Coach Bill McColly’s crew wrapped up their first victory in the last of the fifth with the High School Golfers Defeat Huntington Decatur high school’s golf team won its second match in two outings at the LaFontaine country club in Huntington Thursday, whipping the hosts by a 13-3 score. Huntington’s Quale w?s the match medalist, firing a 40, but Decatur’s squad had much more balance than did the hosts. Sophomore Sim Hain was low for Decatur with a 44. Four other Decatun golfers posted rounds in the 40’s, while Quale had only one teammate in the 40’s. Gary Hammond, another sopohomore, was right behind Hain with a 45, while Gary Schultz fired a 47 and Barry Burnett and Dick Justice came in with 49’s. The Decatur golfers go after their third win this afternoon, playing host to Hoagland at the local golf course. Thursday’s scoring: Decatur — . Hain, 44; Kalver, 53; Schultz, 47; Burnett, 49; Justice, 49; Hammond, 45; Doty, 54; Cravens, 56. Huntington—Cripe, 46; Quale, 40: Smith, 50; Steele, 50; Meyer, 57; Webb, 60; Brock, 58; Varner, 63.

five tallies. Egly was hit with a pitch and Jtohn Custer and John Meeks drew walks. After Cookson fanned, Elliott drove home two runs with a long blast to center, good a double. Veteran catcher Greg Ladd singled home Meeks and Elliott scored on a wild throw to the plate. Sam Blythe’s single produced the final run. First Run The Jackets scored their first run in the initial inning when Cookson walked, advanced to second and scored on an error on a grounder hit by Sam Blythe. Van Wert tied the count in the second inning on an error, walk and single by LeValley. A single by T. Waldron and a double by Fisher brought in a pair of harmless tallies in the top of the seventh. Cookson hurled the first four innings, striking out six and walking just one, while allowing four hits. Sam Blythe finished up, fanning five. The visitors used four pitchers, Pollack, who tossed the first four, taking the loss. Decatur’s next action will be Wednesday at Worthman field, in a 4 p.m. contest with Portland.

Boston Celtics Whip Royals, Await Final BOSTON (UPD—If you listen to some people, the fortunate Western National Basketball Association team will be the one that doesn't have to face the Boston Celtics. The Celtics went on a “voluntary” practice schedule today after destroying the Cincinnati Royals, 109-95, for a 4-1 victory in the Eastern NBA title series. It was Boston’s eighth straight title. After the ball game was over, the Royals and their coach, Jack McMahon, agreed that Boston should beat any Western finalist in six games or less. The St. Louis Hawks play ,the Warriors in San Francisco tonight in a best-of-seven struggle that currently is deadlocked at two victories apiece. About the only thing that bothers Red Auerbach, the engineer of Boston’s long pro basketball domination, is the fear that his squad will suffer a letdown. Bill Russell scored 20 points, had 35 rebounds including 11 in the third period, and tied for the top in assists at seven to lead Boston to its win. Sam Jones topped the Boston scorers at 23 while Tom Heinsohn had 19, John Havlicek 13 and K. C. Jones a dozen. Jones also racked up seven more assists to win that five-game title with a 35 total to 28 for Cincinnati’s Oscar Robertson. Oscar as usual headed the Royal shooters with 24 while Jack Twyman had 16 and Wayne Embry 15. Jerry Lucas, who was dropped hard to the floor in a first half collision with K. C. Jones, wound up with only six points in 35 minutes of play. Frick Optimistic On Baseball's Future By FORD FRICK Commissioner of Baseball (Written for UPD NEW YORK (UPD — This is the time of year when those of us in baseball are asked our opinions about the forthcoming season. In my case, the question usually is “What kind of year do you think baseball will b have?” It is my sincere feeling that baseball is not only looking ahead to a most successful season, but is moving into one of its most important eras. It is not only the 1964 picture that is bright, but also the years shesda It is a combination of things that causes this feeling. For one thing we know that interest in the game itself is running higher. This is true on the professional level, but it is also true on the college and high school fields and the sandlots, which are the true focal points of our game. The promise that is held by the next few years is increased by the faet that more boys and young men now are playing baseball than ever before in our nation’s history. It is inevitable that from this youth participation will come more players, and more fans. Another factor is the moving of major league clubs into new homes. The past few years have seen new ball parks open in several cities and the next few years will see even more. There is no question of the need that was felt for these parks, and baseball is gratified at the answering of that need. 1964 signifies to me the beginning of an exciting and successful era for all of baseball.
