getting seven hits between them, as the Commodores chalked up their first victory against two defeats. The contest was a see-saw affair until the Commodores scored three times in the fourth inning to take a 6-5 lead which they never lost. John Lose went all the way on the mound for the Commodores, and allowed only five. hits. Eight bases on balls and five Decatur errors aided the Bluffton cause, however. Kohne Homers Three big blows in the first inning got the Commodores into a three-run lead. With one out, Dick Omlor tripled, and Terry Myers followed suit with another three-base blow. Veteran Ed Kohne then scored behind Myers as he poked the team’s first home run of the season. Bluffton used three walks, two errors and a single by T. Garton to score four times in the second frame and move ahead. The visitors added another tally in the third on two walks and an error and boosted their lead to 5-3 With an error and a double by Randall in the fourth. The Commodores came back in their half of the fourth, however, with three runs of their own. Dan and Tom Lose and Denny Baker put together back-to-back singles, John Lose reached base on a fielder’s choice, and Omlor and Myers followed with doubles. Ice Victory The Commodores iced their first win with three runs in the sixth. With two out, John Lose and Omlor walked. Myers singled for his fourth hit, and Bolinger rapped out his second single. Bluffton added a harmless run in the top of the seventh. The Commodores will return to action next Monday, when they host Fort Wayne Concordia in a 4 p.m. game at the Hanna-Nutt-man diamond.

LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer Crew-cut Curt Simmons has spent the last two seasons keeping the St. Louis Cardinals air-borne in the first months of the National League pennant chase. Thursday Simmons served notice he’s ready to get the Cardinals aloft again. The 33-year-old former Philadelphia bonus baby, who has made more “comebacks” than he cares to remember, stymied the explosive San Francisco Gidnts, 2-0, to begin his 17th year in the majors. In each of the last two seasons Curt has won his first five deicisions for St. Louis. Simmons yielded only three singles and didn’t allow a baserunner past first base after the second inning. He retired the last 13 Giants in order. , Simmons considered the performance against the Giants, a team which scored 18 runs in its ' first two games, proof to Manager Johnny Keane that he is ready to carry the Cardinal gain if necessary. Allows Four Hits Julian Javier singled home the first Cardinal run in the third after an error by losing pitcher Bob Hendley on a sacrifice bunt by Simmons. Later in the inning, Dick Groat scored SimrAons with a sacrifice fly. Hendley, a former Milwaukee Brave, allowed only four hits in his eight-iniing stint.
