Bluffton scored in the second frame. The victory was the eighth of the season in 12 starts for coach Bill McColly’s crew and their third NEIC win in five starts. Although out of the conference title chase, the Jackets could play the role of spoilers next week when they entertain unbeaten New Haven Monday at Worthman field and travel to Angola Thursday. Although not getting a hit, the Jackets started off quickly Thursday as they registered a pair of tallies in the initial inning. Take Lead Bill Blythe was hit with a pitch leading off and Max Elliott drew a walk. The two speedsters worked a double steal, and Blythe then romped home on a sacrifice fly by Greg Ladd. Sam Blythe walked and later scored the inning’s second run with the aid of Bluffton’s only error. The Tigers came roaring back in the second inning when Kauffman walked with one out He was forced at second by Gass, but Garton, Bluffton’s hurler, banged out a double and his team trailed by a run. Decatur added another pair of tallies in the sixth to sew up the contest. Elliott walked and was sacrificed to second by Ladd. Sam Blythe rapped out a single to score Elliott, and sophomore Gary Busse later singled to score Blythe. Cookson, all-conference hurler last spring, was in no further trouble after Bluffton’s second inning uprising. He gave up a qne-out single to Sprunger in the third, but retired Garton 6n a ground out. For the rest of the way, the next four innings, it was one-two-three, as Cookson retired the last 12 hitters he faced in order. The righthanded ace of the Decatur staff fanned five and walked just one in posting the victory.

Frank Howard Leads Dodgers To Two Wins By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Six • foot - seven Frank Howard, a mountain of a maq»has away ot making all those Dodger problems look like molehills. It has been said that every time the 255 - pound Howard moves, the earth around him trembles, but more important is the fact that every time he does, he seems to move the Dodgers, too. The bi g outfielder moved them up a notch Thursday and although it was only into eighth place, it’s still higher than ninth and certainly a step in the right direction. When Howard is hitting, all pitchers look alike to him and that goes for the best and the worst. He picked on one of the National League’s best, lefty Dick Ellsworth, Thursday for a tworun homer in the 10th inning that beat the Cubs, 6-4, then came back in the nightcap with a ninth inning bases - loaded single off rookie Wayne Schurr that nailed down a 5-0 win for Don Drysdale. Howard’s 11th Homer Howard’s homer in the opener was his 11th of the season and the two runs he drove in during the finale gave him a total of 21. He went three - forfive in the first game and two-for-three in the second. Relief ace Ron Perranoski blanked the Cubs on two hits over the last four innings of the opener to score his second victory after Chicago had kayoed starter Sandy Koufax on four runs and six hits in four innings. v Drysdale checked the Cubs on four hits for his fifth victory against one loss. He struck out eight and walked five while the Dodgers chased Fred Norman in the second inning even though he didn’t give up a hit. Elsewhere in the National League, the Phillies c limbed within a half game of first place with a 3-2 triumph over the Cardinals, the Houston Colts nipped the San Francisco Giants, 4-3, and snapped Willie May’s hitting streak at 20 games, and the Mets belted the Braves, 124.- ——*=— Three AL Games Only three games were scheduled in the American League where the Twins walloped the White Sox, 15-7, the Tigers downed the Yankees, 7-3, and the Senators defeated the Orioles, 4-1. Richie Alien’s seventh inning homer snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Phillies their first victory in five games with the Cardinals. Allen’s seventh homer came off loser Ernie Broglio (2-2) and brought Jim Bunning his fourth victory although the former Detroit right - hander received a big assist from Ed Roebuck, who hurled hitless ball and struck out four in the last two innings. ■ Al Spangler’s two- out single in the eighth produced the winning run for the Colts against the Giants. Mays went hitless in four trips as his batting average dropped to .449. Bob Bruce struck out 10 and gave up eight hits to gain his fourth victory. Reliever Bob Shaw absorbed his' first loss after three victories. The Mets raked veteran Warren Spahn for nine hits and six runs within five innings for their fifth victory in the last eight games.
