Commodores Win Over Portland Monday, 2 -1

Terry Myers twirled a neat three-hitter as the Decatur Commodores nosed out Portland by a 2-1 score in a game played at Hanna-Nuttman Monday afternoon. The tall righthander gave up an unearned run in the opening inning and then shut out the Portland nine the rest of the way. Myers’ mates got him a run in the third inning and the winning tally in the sixth, as the Commodores chalked up their third win of the spring against five losses. Shortstop Johnny Lose scored both Decatur runs, including the tie-breaking marker in the sixth. Reaching first on an error to open the sixth, Lose scooted to second on a wild pitch. Moments later, Dick Omlor flied out to left field, but as Lose went for third, the Portland left fielder made a throwing error and the speedy Lose scored to snap the tie. Unearned Run Greg Williams of the Panthers, the first hitter in the game, reached base on an error and stole second.

a single by- Abbott, he romped home on a fielder’s choice. Myers bore down and struck out the side, preventing any further damage. With one out in the third frame, Tom Lose reached first OO a Portland error, and brother John forced him at second on a ground ball. Myers then greatly aided his own cause, when he banged out a double to score Lose with the first Decatur run. Whiffs Nine In recording his third win of the year, Myers whiffed nine Portland hitters as he went the distance. He walked only three. After Abbott’s first inning single, Myers gave up a single by Bennett in the fourth with two out, but he was tossed out by Omlor attempting to steal. Shoup led off the fifth with a single, but Myers fanned Pogue and got Williams to rap into a double play, John Lose to first baseman Bill Bolinger. Portland threatened jn the sixth when the first two hitters walked, but Myers got Glasgow to fly out, fanned Lewis and forced McClung to fly out and end the inning. The Commodores get right back into action this afternoon, traveling to Manchester to seek their fourth victory.

Yellow Jackets Lose To Columbia City, 5 To 4

Columbia City rallied for four runs in the sixth inning to eke out a 5-4 victory and finish any hopes the Decatur Yellow Jackets had of repeating as champions of the Northeastern Indiana conferenceThe loss was the second in four outings for the Yellow Jackets, and it is very seldom a team wins the NEIC baseball tide with more than one defeat. The Jackets were sailing along with a 4-1 lead entering the last of the sixth at Columbia City Monday, and appeared on their Senators Beat Orioles, Game Os Contusion By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Washington has been the scene of some historical foulups but this one was the granddaddy of them all. To give you some idea of the confusion, Gil Hodges said he “never saw anything like it” not even during his Dodger days in Brooklyn. It all happened during the seventh inning of a game in which Washington outlasted Baltimore, 6-4, Monday night. Here was the picture; and you’d better pay attention because some of the principals didn’t, and what • mess it caused. The Senators filled the bases with one out and the score tied, 3-all. Bernnie Daniels lofted a soft fly to shallow center and Don Lock scored from third as the ball dropped safely among three converging Orioles. Fun Begins That’s where all the fun began. Ken Hunt, afraid the ball would be caught, held second for all he was worth. Don Blasingame, who figured the ball would not be caught, came tearing into second from first. And Daniels, only doing what any hustling pitcher should, legged it like mad for first. Baltimore center fielder Jackie Brandt finally picked up the ball, charged in toward second base to see what he could salvage, and was' somewhat bewildered to discover both Hunt and Blasingame standing on the bag. Brandt committed a boner by stepping on the bag first, forcing Hunt, who pulled the original boner by not at least moving off the bag. “It was a confusion play for everyone,” Hodges said. “No one did what he should have done.” Run Scores Brandt could have retired the side , by tagging Hunt first and then stepping on the bag to force Blasingame for an inningending double play. As it was, a_ run scored, Blasingame was forced and Daniels was safe on a fielder’s choice. Don Zimmer then tripled to drive in what proved to be the winning run. Little Zim had four of Washington’s 11 hits. Daniels, who pitched 7 2-3 innings, picked up his third victory in five decisions while Mike McCormick suffered his second loss. Lock hit a threerun homer for Washington in the first inning and Boog Powell had a two-run homer for the Orioles in the third. Elsewhere in ■ the American League, the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-7, and the Los Angeles Angels toppled the Kansas City Athletics, 6-5. Rain washed out the only other scheduled game between the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins. NL Action In the National League, Houston stopped San Francisco, 4-1, although Willie Mays hit safely in his 18th straight game; St. Louis defeated Philadelphia, 3-2, and Cincinnati downed Pittsburgh, 7-6. —— Fred Whitfield’s grand slam homer in the fifth inning and Larry Brown’s three-run homer in the eighth gave the Indians enough margin to stand off a six-run rally by the Red Sox in the ninth. Rookie Tommy John, who held the Red Sox to one run until the ninth, gained his second victory although he needed Ted Abernathy’s help. Jack Lamabe victim of Whitfield's grand slam, was charged with liis first loss > following three straight victories. Albie Pearson delivered three flits, one of them a two-run homer, for the Angels in their victory Over the Athletics. Pearson’s other two hits were doubles and he scored both times. Fred Newman (2-1) was the winner although Barry Latman had to throttle a three-run rally by the A’s in the eighth. Moe Drabowsky (1-3) was the loser.

way to staying in the title chase. Staley and Miller opened the sixth with singles, and a Decatur error put Dunfee on base. Starter Denny Cookson tossed third strikes past Cook and Curl ess, -but another Cook, pinchitting, rapped a single, and Hayes followed suit, sending the Eagles into a 5-4 lead. Grab Quick Lead The Jackets grabbed a quick lead when they tallied once in the second frame without the benefit of a hit. Jerry Egly walked and was forced at second by Bill Blythe. After moving to second on an error, Blythe attempted to steal third and when the catcher’s throw went into left field, he came in to score. The Jackets boosted that lead to 4-0 with three tallies in the third inning. Singles by Max Elliott and Sam Blythe, coupled with a pair of Columbia City errors, resulted in the runs. Score Once The Eagles scored once in the fourth inning on a double by Curless and Cookson’s error, and after going down one-two-three in the fifth, staged their winning sixth inning uprising. The Jackets threatened slightly in the top of the seventh, as Greg Ladd and Sam Blythe walked with two outs, but Haves, in relief, retired the next hitter. The Yellow Jackets will play host to Bluffton at Northman field at 4:15 p. m. Thursday, in another conference game. Decatur AB R H E Elliott, If 4 11 0 Cookson, p 4 10 1 Ladd, c ---------- 3 9 6 » S.

Scattered showers cut into ‘ Monday’s practice period and not much change was expected the next couple of days, thus reducing the. time available for drivers and mechanics to get set for the weekend qualifica- , tions. j Defending “500” champion Parnelli Jones got company in the 156 miles per hour club Monday when Bobby Marshman was clocked at a speed of 156.1 mph in a rear-engine EotusFord. Jones was caught at 156.223 on the electric eye and at 156.552 by his pit crew, which would be the fastest, though unofficial, logging around the 2*4mile course. Sixteen drivers now have been clocked at speeds of nearly 151 mph or better. The latest crash, the fourth since practice opened May 1, saw Chuck Rodee of Indianapolis smack the wall in the home stretch Monday when his car ran over an exhaust bracket dropped from another car and blew the right rear tire. Although the car was damaged extensively, Rodee jumped out unhurt. . Bobby Johns,-Miami, Fla., became the latest rookie to pass his driver’s test. World Grand Prix champion Jimmy Clark of Scotland was on the track for the first ’time Monday in his new Lotus-Ford for a shakedown run at moderate speeds. I Two Geneva Autos Involved In Wreck ‘ Two Geneva autos were involv- ' ed in wrecks in Portland over 1 the weekend. ; A car driven by Michael J. Lake, 16, of route 6, Portland, ‘ was unable to stop and struck 1 the rear end of a car driven by Frederick W. Davidson, 36, Geneva, on Saturday evening. • Damage to both cars was minor. Sunday afternoon a car drived ■ by Jerry Grogg, 18, of Geneva, i was struck from behind by a car • driven by William Duff, 61, Lima, ' O. Damage to the two autos was . minor.

Dick Farrell Hurls Victory Against Giants By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer It’s a lot easier to hit oil in Texas than it is to hit that Houston pitching. The first-place San Francisco Giants discovered that sad fact Monday night when Dick Farrell beat them, 4-1, to record his fourth victory for the Houston Colts in five decisions. The Colts are something of a paradox. Their hitting is treated as a joke in rival National League dugouts, but no one does any laughing about their pitching. Much of the credit in that department goes, of course, to General Manager Paul Richards. The unsung hero of Houston’s pitching staff, however, is pitching Coach Cot Deal who, in his own quiet efficient way, provides as much help to Manager Harry Craft as Whitey Ford does to Yogi Berra. Scatters 10 Hits Farrell, one of the Colt pitchers who has profited from Deal's theories, gave up 10 hits Monday night but worked his way out of repeated jams so that the Giants could score only once off him in the fourth on Willie McCovey’s double, Tom Haller’s single and a double play ball. Houston broke a 1-all tie and handed Billy O’Dell his first defeat with a three-run sixth inning rally composed of five singles. Rookie Mike White led the Colts’ eight-hit attack with three singles. . Willie Mays stretched his hitting string to 18 games by singling through short in the first inning. The St. Louis Cardinals edged the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-2, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-6. in the only other scheduled. Over in the American League the Cleveland Indians mauled the Boston Red Sox, 11-7, the Los Angeles Angels downed the Kansas City A’s, 6-5, and the Washington Senator s defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 64, Rain washed out the scheduled game between the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox. Javier Homers Julian Javier > broke up Ray Culp's no-hitter |vilh~ a sixth inning single and then clipped the Philadelphia right-hander for a three-run homer in the seventh that gave St. Louis its come-from-behind victory. Ray Sadecki posted his first victory after three losses by holding the Phils to six hits. The loss for Culp was his third compared with one victory. Hustling little. Pete Rose drove in four runs for the Reds against the Pirates with a three-run homer and a single. Rose’s first homer of the year came off rookie Frank Bork in
