Yellow Jackets Win Over Portland On No-Hitter, 5-0

Righthander Denny Cookson ■ was in mid-season form Wedn-1 nesday as he and lefty Sam Bly- 1 the collaborated to throw a no-1 hitter at ortland as the Deca- 1 tur Yellow Jackets chalked upl a 5-0 victory and their second g win of the season in two starts, g Cookson tossed the first six inn-!§ ings, allowing only three base runners. Coach Bill McColly, Giants Oufslug ' Braves, Cards I Down Dodgers By GEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer Watch wondrous Willie. He’s playing for his $105,000. Willie — Mays, of course — is the barometer for the San Francisco Giants, and right now Willie is hot. So are the Giants. Mays shouldered much of the blame for the Giants’ failtire to repeat as the National League champions last season. He remembers how he slugged 10 home runs in the first month of the Giants’ championship year, in 1962, then slumped to a .232 batting average and only four homers in the first 30 days of the ’63 season. Willie’s slump, along with his teammates’, prompted Chub Feeney, the Giants vice president, to moan: “I’ve never seen so many guys play like they didn’t care about money.” Well, Willie does. And he’s out to prove he deserves his six - figure salary. Hits Third Homer The Giants’ centerfielder hammered his third home run in two days Wednesday night to ignite a 10 - run Giant spree which carried San Francisco to a 10-8 triumph over Milwaukee. Mays has driven in six runs, scored three and all of his hits have been for the circuit in the Giants first two victories. Milwaukee, down 10-1 after four innings, threw a into_ tfie Giants with the aid of home runs from former teammate Ed Bailey and Eddie Mathews. Loser Bob Sadowski and rookie Larry Kelley were the victims of the 10 - run fourth, which included five walks and two wild pitches. Former Brave Bob Shaw shut the door on a final Milwaukee rally in the ninth to protect the win for starter Jack Sanford. Ken Boyer and Bob Gibson led the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers; Philadelphia whipped the New York Mets, 4-1, and Pittsburgh outlasted the Chicago Cubs, 5-4, in 12 innings. Houston was idle and Cincinnati dropped a 4-3 verdict to its San Diego farm club of the Pacific Coast League in an exhibition game on the West Coast. Senators Nip Angels Bill Skbwron’s homer helped the Washington Senators to a 6-4 decision over the Los Angeles Angels in the only American League game. 1 The Yankees’ opener at New York with Boston was postponed for the second straight day because of rain and the other six teams were not scheduled; ~ Boyer’s bases-loaded single in the eighth inning started a fiverun Cardinal uprising against loser Don Drysdale in Los Angeles. Gibson, who went the route allowing nine hits, started the rally with a single. Rookie Johnny Lewis, Curt Flood and Tim' McCarver followed’with run - producing singles. Frank Howard of the Dodgers slugged his second homer in two nights in the ninth. ' The Phils sent the Mets down to their' second straight defeat at Philadelphia with three un-_ earned runs in the eighth. Tony Gonzalez accounted for all three with a home run after first baseman Tim had committed a two-out error. Jim Bunning, the ex-De-troit Tiger making his first start in the National League, was the winner and Tracy Stallard was the loser. Both went the distance. Walks Virdon Reliever Don Elston walked Bill Virdon with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th to hand the Pirates a victory at Pittsburgh. The walk followed two intentional passes after Bob Bailey, who had three hits, singled, was sacrificed to second ■

* Craig McEwan

McEwan, Hammond Set School Records

* A pair of Decatur high school track and field records went by the boards in Wednesday’s triangular meet at Bluffton, as two of the tallest boys in Decatur high school put forth their best efforts of the young track season and were rewarded with a place for their names in the school record books. Big Craig McEwan and even bigger Dave Hammond nJoved into the school’s track elite, as they posted blue ribbon and record performances in the high hurdles and shot put respectively. Hammond tossed the heavy ball 47 feet, 11 and three-quarter inches to eclipse a three-year old mark, and off his fine performances already this spring, figures Pto boost the mark in coming meets. 1961 Mark The son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hammond, route 5, Decatur, the 6-4 junior bested the previous high mark of 57 feet, 10 inches, set during the 1961 season by Herb Magley. He tossed the shot over 44 feet on his first try, lettered 45 feet I ' . * • • Golf Association Banquet Tuesday Ticket reservations for the kickoff banquet to be held Tuesday , evening to form the Decatur Golf ( Association, must be purchased , by Saturday, according to Don ( Elder, temporary president of the ( organizing committee.

on the second turn, and then got off the plus-47 foot put in his third attempt. Hammond credits much of his ‘ Success to assistant track coach Steve Brandenburg, who has put •in a lot of time with the big shot putter this season. Brandenburg worked with Hammond to develop a new style before the season got underway, if yesterday’s performance is any indication, the new style must be better than the old one! Wins Three Events McEwan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack W. McEwan, of 133 Harvester Lane, won three first places Wednesday, but the high hurdles ribbon was the most cherished. A 6-4 senior, McEwan finished the 120 yards in 16.5 seconds, to break the mark set last season by Buster Melchi. Mc•Ewan also figures to better the record as the season progresses. He will have a hard time keening the mark, however, as Melchi will also be battling for it. Melchi, also a senior, broke Jack Heller’s 1948 mark of 16.8 last season, turning in a 16.7. He bettered that mark Wednesday, finishing a step behind McEwan in 16.6 seconds in the race. It looks like the two seniors will battle it out the rest of the season for possession of the record. •
