counter. Cookson was his usual fireballing self Thursday, as he whiffed 15 Kendallville hitters and issual just two walks, while scattering six hits.

Jerry Egly followed with a single, and after Comet hurler Sommers registered a strikeout, Deane Lehman drew a walk to load the bases.

Houston Colts Snap Dodgers' Winning Skein By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Dick Farrell, a guy with the memory of an elephant, stomps all over the Dodgers every chance he gets. He admits he enjoys it. too, and that’s becoming obvious because he now has beat them more times than he has any other club in the National League. The hard - throwing, 30-year-old Houston right - hander took particular relish in snapping the Dodgers’ four - game winning streak, 7-3, Thursday night for his third straight victory without a loss. Farrell, owner of a 14-8 lifetime record against the Dodgers, has nursed a deep - seated resentment against them since they dumped him into the NL player expansion pool at the end of the 1961 season. He didn’t mind being thrown into the pool so much as he did being blamed by the Dodgers for their failure to win the pennant that year. Farrell had an 8-7 record that season, iwith a 5.18 earned run average and the Dodgers let it get around that he cost them a shot at the World Series. Farrell has never forgotten and it shows in his work against them. He was clipped for nine hits Thursday night but struck out nine and had the added satisfaction of boosting the seventh - place Colts a full game ahead of the Dodgers. With the score tied at 3 - all in the seventh, the Colts kayoed loser Phil Ortega during a fourrun rally in which rookie Mike White singled across the tie- ■ breaking run and Rusty Staub contributed a bases loaded double. White, the son of Milwaukee Coach Jo Jo White, came through with the tie - breaker as a pinch hitter for Walt Bond, who had three -for - three, including a two- run homer in the first inning. The first - place Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1,. in the only other NL game played as r ain washed out the Pittsburgh - Milwaukee and San Francisco - Chicago contests. In the American League, Cleveland defeated Minnesota, 8-4, and Kansas City downed Detroitt, 10-3. Left - hander Dennis Bennett was staked to a two- run lead in the first inning against the Reds and that was all he needed for his second victory. Bennett gave up eight hits and had more trouble with Tbmmy Harper on the basepaths than he had with all the rest of the Reds put together at the plate. Harper stole three bases. The Phils scored two runs off Joe Nuxhall (1-2) before he could retire a man in the opening frame. A single by Tony Taylor, a walk and a double y rookie Richie Allen netttd one run and after another walk filled the bases, Nuxhall nicked Tony Gonzalez with a pitch, forcing in the second run. Cincinnati scored its only run in the third on Pete Rose’s double, a wild pitch and a fielder’s choice. Commodores-Cadets Playing Here Today The Decatur Commodores, cramped by rain thus far this spring, will take on the Concordia Cadets in a contest this afternoon at 4 o’clock.

County Track Meet Monday Afternoon Berne’s defending Adams county champions will be favored Monday afternoon when the annual county track and field meet will be held at the Berne track, with events beginning at 4 o’clock. Five of the six Adams county high schools will have teams entered including the hosts, Decatur, Adams Central, Geneva, and Monmouth. Seven teams were entered last season and finished in the following order: Berne, 76; Decatur, 44; Geneva, 40; Adams Central, 35; Hartford, 20; Monmouth, 8; Pleasant Mills, 2. Only three individual champions from last season return to defend their laurels, Dave Hammond of Decatur, Bob Patterson of Berne and Mike Newcomer of Geneva. Hammond copped shot put honors last spring with a heave of 44 feet, one-half inch, and owns a 48 foot, six inch put this spring, at least two feet better than any other shot putter in the county has done this season. Patterson won the 440-yard dash in 55 and a half seconds in last spring’s meet, and Newcomer broqd jumped 18 feet, 10 inches to win that event. Several interesting battles should feature the meet, one of which will be the pole vault.

Speedway Is Opened Today For Practice By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — An internationally - flavored field received the green light today for practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, heralding one of the most hectic and certainly the fastest trial periods for the Memorial Day 500-mile race. Weather permitting, a dozen or more roadsters and rear-en-gine machines were expected to get their initial workouts on the 2*4-mile race course, but there will be no high-speed action before Sunday or early next week. In keeping with its policy emphasizing safety, the United States Auto Club has imposed a speed limit of 145 miles per hour the first two days of the practice period. If conditions are right, Chief Steward Harlan Fengler was expected to lift the speed ceiling Sunday, giving the veteran drivers the “go sign” for speeds in excess of 150 m.p.h. Len Sutton, Portland Ore., runnerup in the 500 two years ago but who failed to qualify for last year’s event, has been clocked unofficially at a speed of nearly 155 under adverse conditions, and with improved weather his mark was expected to be bettered within the next few days by several drivers. The official one-lap record of 151.847 m.p.h. was set by race winner Parnelli Jones, Torrance Calif., in last year’s time trials. About half of the 61 cars entered have checked in at “Gasoline Alley” at the Speedway and after this weekend, practice action will be accelerated since only two weeks remain before the first of two weekends of time trials that will determine the 33-car starting field on race day. Two- time winner Rodger Ward, Indianapolis; Eddie Sachs, Fraser, Mich., both in rear-engine creations, and Lloyd Ruby, Houston, Tex.; Jim Hurtubise, North Tonawanda, N.Y.; Chuck Rodee, Indianapolis, and Djck Rathmann, Roselle, HI., all in conventional four-cylinder roadsters, announced their intentions to be on the track early for shakedown rides. Ward, one of several oldtimers who have their choice of cars, said he will be in a rearengine car this year. Generally considered the No. 1 contender

for Speedway honors is national driving champion A. J .Foyt of Houston, the 1961 winner who has been burning up the ÜBAC circuit and who won the season’s first two big-car tests. Foyt also has his choice of cars. Grand prix world driving champion Jimmy Clark of Scotland in a new Lotus-Ford, former grand prix king Jack Brabham of Australia and England, Canada’s Ed Kostenuk, and Pedro Rodriguez of Mexico comprise possibly the strongest foreign challenge at the Speedway since the 19405. Clark was second only to Jones in last year’s race and Brabham was ninth in his first crack at the 500 three years ago. Although the conventional, four-cylinder power plants were still much in evidence, 13 cars are equipped with V-8 engines, most of them built by Ford, which had spectacular success with the cars driven by Clark and Dan Gurney a year ago. Two of the three supercharged 8 - cylinder Novis were also counted on to be in the spotlight. The third was withdrawn after a garage fire a month ago caused considerable damage to the cars entered by Andy Granatelli. By the end of next week, however, the two Novis should be back at the track getting ready for qualifications.
