Melchi, McEwan Track Co-Captains

Buater Melchi and Craig McEwan, a pair of record-setting seniors, have been named co-cap-tains of the 1964 Decatur high school track team. Melchi and McEwan were named co-captains by members of the track squad at a recent meeting of the team. Four seniors, 'five juniors and one Sophomore were named track lettermen. Lettermen, in addition to Melchi and McEwan, were seniors Gary, Krueckeberg and Ken Uhrick, juniors Dave Anspaugh, Dave Hammond, Dave Adams, Dave Smith and Tom Whitker, and sophomore Denny Sheets. Four school records were set during the recent season, including one each by the team captains. New Marks - After battling all season long for the high hurdles mark, McEwan finally bested Melchi in the county track meet to set the new standard at 15.8 seconds for the 120 yards. In the same meet, however, Melchi established a new mark in the 180 yard low hurdles, at 21.1 seconds. The former high hurdles mark was 16.8 seconds set in 1948 by Jack Heller, while the previous low hurdles standard was 21.7 seconds set by Jim Elliott in 1962. Dave Anspaugh and Dave Hammond, both juniors, also set new marks during the recentlyconcluded season, as Anspaugh boosted his own record and Hammond cracked a three-year-old standard. Ups Three Inches Anspaugh upped his school mark in the pole vault to 11 feet, six inches in the Northeastern Indiana conference meet at Columbia City. He had broken the record of 11 feet set by Don Farr in 1924 last spring. Hammond cracked the shot put mark several times during the season finally establishing it at a very good 49 feet, 11 inches. Hammond broke Herb Magley’s 1961 record of 47 feet, 10 inches in the season’s third meet, and finally set the 49-11 mark in , the Columbia City relays. The big junior was the team’s most consistent threat in a single event. In six meets, he was not beaten, and he wofi the county shotputtitle for theond straight season. He placed fifth in the conference meet and second in the, Columbia City relays. ” ’. The Decatur thinlies won two dual meets and lost two, and split in ~a pair of a triangularmatches.

NFL Players Bid For Pension Plan NEW YORK (UPD—National Football League owners will be asked to dig deeper into their clubs’ treasure chests today for a player pension plan and an increase in exhibition game salaries from SSO to SIOO. The owners showed their charitable side Tuesday when they voted to increase the play--’ers’ shares -from the annual Pro Bowl All-Star game at Los Angeles. A new scale of SI,OOO for each winning player and S7OO foif every player on the losing team goes- into effect for the 1965. game. Previously, the winners’ share was SBOO and the losers • received S6OO each. The owners earlier withdrew a proposed rule change that would add a sixth official, whose sole function would have, been that of timekeeper. The plan was dropped when the Dallas Cowboys reported tests they are leaking of electronic timing devices indicate the wiring of a scoreboard clock to accurately reflect the official time would be more practical. The New York Giants were hopeful that trade talks for a quarterback would be fruitful during the meeting. A report that Coach Allie Sherman had the inside track on Green Bay’s reserve signal caller Zeke Bratkowski went by the boards when Packer Coach Vince Lombardi announced that second string quarterback John Roach was retiring. Lombardi said he had no intention of dealing Bratkowski to New York and denied that halfback Paul Hornung was on the trading block.

Crews Working Feverishly On Damaged Cars INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Car owners Mickey Thompson and Andy Granatelli had their crews hard at work today trying to get damaged racers in shape for the final weekend of qualifications for the Memorial Day 500mile race. 11 ’ . Thompson, who managed to get one car qualified last weekend, suffered a blow Tuesday in practice when Eddie Johnson, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, lost control coming out of the northeast turji and slammed into the wall on the north chute. . ‘Johnson .was pot hurt but the., ca¥ was damaged extensively. TrcWcally, the accicjpnt occurred just as Thompson was gifting his third car back into shape following an earlier practice accident. Grahatelli’s hard-luck Novis were prevented from qualifying last weekend because of mechanical trouble but he ’ had high hopes that the three powerful cars would be ready Saturday to shoot for some of. the remaining berths ,in the 33-car field for the May 30 race. But an engine blew Tuesday in the four-wheel drive Novi with Bobby Unser, Albuquerque, N.M., at the wheel. The car slid some 600 feet through the southwest turn but Unser managed to keep it from hitting anything. Granatelli said, however, that it would take several days of hard work to rebuild the big, eightcylinder engine in time for the final weekend of trials. Most of the activity Tuesday was confined to the garage area although more than 20 different cars, including some which already have qualified for the race, were on the track during the day. Rookie Bob Harkey, Indianapolis, managed to coast to a stop without any damage after his car blew an engine earlier in the day. An oil leak in Rodger Ward’s already-qualified car shut down the track for a time.

Twins Defeat I Yankees In 13 | Innings, 7-2 J ! By JOE GERGEN 1 UPI Sports Writer * < Jimmie Hall finally had discovered that New York can be a nice place to visit after all— ; and not just because of the World’s Fair,, either. Hall, a country Ippy from North Carolina, put one over on most of the American League last year when he slammed 33 homers to erase Ted Williams’ league record for rolind-trippers by a rookie and help the Minnesota Twins to a third-place finish. But the Yankees, city slickers that they are, were unimpressed and took the youngster for a ride. Hall hit at least one homer against every opponent except New York and finished the 1963 season with an anemic .096 batting average against the boys from the Big Town. The 26-year-old Hall, however is not one to be fooled for long. And Tuesday riight it was Hall’s turn to pull the wool over the Yankees’ eyes as he socked a three-run homer in the 13th inning and collected three hits in six appearances while the merry Minnesota musclemen bounced New York, 7-2. Tie for Lead The home run, which topped off a five-run Minnesota outburst in the 13th off reliever Hal Reniff, pulled Hall into a tie for the American League lead with Rocky Colavito of Kansas City and teammat Bob Allison with 10. Rich Rollins, who didn’t fare much better against New York last year, also collected a home run, double and single and_ knocked in the go-ahead run in the 13th. Jim Roland, in trouble almost all the way, went 12 im nings to pick up his first victory against one defeat. In other games, rookie Dalton Jones capped a four-run ninth-inning rally with a threrun double that carried the Red Sox over the Angels, 4-3; the White Sox remained in first place with a 6-5 win over theIndians; the Orioles edged the Athletics in 10 innings; and the Tigers tripped the Senators, 5-2. ’’- Over in the Nattorral the Giants blanked the Phillies,' 3- the Dodgers ripped ‘the Mets, 6-4; Warren Spahn and the Braves topped the Reds, 4- the Cubs clouted the Cardinals, 7-4; and the Colts stopped the Pirates, 3-1. Roof Fell In There were two men out and nobody on in the bottom of the ninth and the Angels’ (Bo Belinsky was coasting to a shutout until the roof caved in at Boston. Dick Stuart walked and advanced to third on Tony Conigliaro's double. Exit Belinsky and enter Barry Latman. who proceeded to walk Bob Tillman and hit Roman. Mejias with a pitch, forcing in a run. With one ball on pinchhitter Jones, Latman was replaced by Don Lee who ran the count to threetwo before Jones cleared the bases. Gary Peters gained his fourth victory for Chicago,' which moved a game in front of the Yankees, but needed relief help from Hoyt Wilhelm and Don Mossi. Mossi fanned John Romano with the tying run on second to end the game. Tom McGraw had three hits for the White Sox and J. C. Martin drove two runs with a long triple. Norm Siebern rifled an opposite field homer into the left field, stands in the first extrainning to beat his former Kansas City teammates. The blow came off A’s standout reliever John Wyatt, who suffered his second loss in five decisions. Siebern scored twice and drove in two rriore Orioles as Dick Hall, who pitched one inning in relief, picked up his third straight win. ..Norm Cash and. Bill- Bruton each cracked a homer and batted in two runs apiece in Detroit’s fourth consecutive triumph. Don Zimmer homered for Washington off Dave Wick-* ersham, who scattered seven hits to notch his fifth victory.

Commodores By Parkway Parkway of Ohio took advantage of two Decatur errors, and produced a three-run rally to beat the Commodores by a 4-3 count at Hanna-Nuttman park afternoon. Sophomore Johnny Lose hurled a beautiful game for the Decatur nine, allowing just three hits, but was the victim of the two fifth inning errors that enabled Parkway to change a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 victory. The Commodores, who have now won three of 10 contests this spring, wind up their season this afternoon, traveling to Lincoinview, O. Lose was sailing along with a 3-1 lead Tuesday when Thatcher opened the fifth inning with a single, only the second hit off the talented righthander. Lose whiffed the next two hitters, but Copeland, the center fielder, reached base on an error as Thatcher scored. Hits Triple Duane Osborn, the winning pitcher, followed with a triple io tie the contest at 3-3, and came home on the second Commodore error, giving the Ohioans a 4-3 lead. The Commodores jumped into a quick lead on the strength of three first inning singles. John Lose and Terry Myers each singled, and Lose, who had stolen second, raced home with the game’s first run. Dick Omlor was hit by a pitch and ’Dave Hackman singled, but Myers had been thrown out stealing and Osborn worked his way out of the jam. Myers belted a triple leading off the third stanza, and scored on a fielder’s choice, boosing his club’s lead to two runs. First Run After retiring the first 11 hitters he faced, Lose walked Daryl Osborn and Schumm with two outs in the fourth. Werst followed with a single, giving Parkway its first run.

John Lose forced Bolinger at second, but 'Myers singled, his third hit of the game, to score Gage. ,By scoring once and batting in ’two runs, Myers figured in all
