Kohne, Myers Leading Commodores' Hitters

Senior Ed Kohne and junior Terry Myers were the leading Decatur Commodore hitters during the past spring season — and the team's only .300 batsmen. Kohne posted a high mark of .353, but had only 17 official plate appearances. Myers, in 35 official trips, hit at a .343 clip, and led the team in five other departments. Myers rapped out 12 hits, six of which were for extra bases, in those 35 trips while Kohne had six safeties in his 17 trips. Kohne was forced to quit the team after seven games due to a nighttime job at a local factory which will aid him in terms of money when he enters college this fall. Myers led in most at-bats, most hits, most triples, runs-batted-in, and was tied so rthe team lead in doubles. Will Return Myers, who will return next season as a senior, had two doubles, four triples and a total of 12 hits, and knocked in eight runs. Kohne, who stroked the only home run of the season for the Commodores, was second to Myers in RBl’s with four. In the only other offensive department, sophomore John Lose, despite a .147 batting average, scored eight times to lead in runs scored. Catcher Dick Omlor was second with seven and Myers scored five times. Low Average The team’s batting average of .210 reflects one of the main reasons the Commodores won just three of. 11 contests. .After the .300 - plus performances of Kohne and Myers, there was a big dropoff to Jim McGill’s .238 average. Bill Bolinger’s .217, Omlor’s 212, Tom Lose’s .207 and Dan Lose’s .200 were the only other individual averages over .200. The Commodores three victor-

I Joe Nuxhall Beats Koufax I In 1-0 Duel By GEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sorts Writer I Old warrior Joe Nuxhall keeps finding himself in the middle of unusual situations this season, but always comes out the winner. The Cincinnati lefthander concluded a rare day for National League pitchers by blanking Sandy Koufax and the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-0, Wednesday night for his third shutout of the season. His victory marked the fifth complete - game triumph of the day for National League hurlers, and none of them allowed more than one run. But the 35 - year -old Nuxhall must have felt a little strange in the company of the other victors-*- all members of stripling, fastball set: —Art Mahaffey, 26, shut out Pittsburgh on four bits, 2-0, to keep the Philadelphia Phillies in first place. Fisher Blanks Colts —Hank Fischer, 24, blanked Houston with the same results, a 2-0, four • hit triumph for Milwaukee. —Juan Marichal, 27, pitched San Francisco to a 2-1 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. —Dick Ellsworth, 24, of the Chicago Cubs scattered seven singles to set down the New York Mets, 7-1. “I’m always winning the oddball games,” Nuxhall said. “We didn’t get a hit when I beat Houston, (Ken Johnson’s no-hit-ter), and a couple of weeks ago. The guy who scores the winning run gets on base when a catcher drops a third strike. Then last night we only get three hits and beat Koufax on a blooper.” The blooper'was hit by Vada Pinson in the first inning following a walk to Pete Rose and Tommy Harper’s infield single. It drove home the only run of the game and evened Koufax’s record at 4-4. Outduels Brown Fischer (5-2) outdueled Skinny Brown, who gave up just two hits in seven inning before being lifted for a pinchhitter. Milwaukee scored both its runs as a result of a fourth - inning error by first baseman Rusty Staub. It was Brown’s fifth loss and the Colts have given him only two runs in the five games. Chuck Hiller and Duke Snider —the first two men to bat in the game—hit home runs for San Francisco, and that was enough to hand the Cardinals’ Bob Gibson (4-1) his first defeat. Ken Boyer reached Marichal (7-1) for his. seventh homer in the second inning but the Giants righthander was in command the rest of the way, striking out 11. Dick Schofield, who doubled twice, was the only batter to get past first base against Mahaffey (3-2). The Phillies did their scoring in the fourth off loser Bob Friend (4-4) on doubles by Clay Dalrymple and Cookie Rojas, and a single by rookie Richie Allen. Ellsworth silenced the upstart Mets, who had pounded the Cubs for 23 hits and 19 runs Thursday, improving his record to 5-4. Billy Williams raised his league - leading batting average to .396 with a single in two trips to the plate. He walked three times.' Sentence Pair For Credit Union Theft INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—HoUis K. Bowers, Jr., 42, and Chester R. Brown, 32, Bloomington, were given four-year prison terms by Federal. »Judge S. Hugh Dillin Wednesday on charges of burglarizing the em-_ ployes credit union office at Indiana University* William S. Mobley, 20, and Malcolm W. Clark, Jr., 20, Indianapolis, were given 25-year terms on charges of robbing a branch postoffice in Indianapolis last Feb. 10. James W. Grieg, vice president of an Indianapolis insurance firm, was fined SSOO and given a suspended one-year term on each of five counts on his conviction on charges of failing to file federal income tax returns over a five-year period. William W. Edwards, 61, was sentenced to two consecutive 5year terms on charges of transporting a stolen motor vehicle across state lines and possessing stolen mail. Authorities said Edwards stole a 300-year-old crucifix from a church in Bloomington, Tex., last year and sold frag- - rrtents of it to antique dealers. He was arrested at Richmond wearing the vestments of a priest.

Women Golfen To Open Play Tuesday A meeting was held recently at the Decatur Golf course by the Women’s Golf Association, to organize the league for the season.

Final Testing For Speedway Racers Today INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Final testing of the 33 rade cars which will run in Saturday’s 500 mile race was slated today when the track will be open for two hours for the last workouts for both machines and men. Every 'one of the qualified cars was expected to get on the 2% mile asphalt and brick surface for at least two runs of the oval, checking handling characteristics with full fuel loads as well as carburetor adjustments to get maximum speed add mileage. Mileage could be a more important factor than usual this year since almost every pilot figured to go the distimce with no more than one pit stop for fuel and perhaps tires. In the past worn out tires as well as fuel loads have forced as many as three pit stops for most of the field, but this year the drivers anticipate that one set "of tires would be able to carry them the full 500 miles. However, most also anticipate that if they have to stop for fuel, they will change tires for a safety factor because the shift would require only a few more seconds. No one in the field would admit to plans for more than one pit stop, figuring on larger fuel tanks to enable them to go all the way with only one refill. Today’s workouts will be the best test of fuel consumption and tire wear that the cars can get, since mechanics will be aiming for race day adjustments and once they wind up today, the starting machine will be buttoned down, as is, awaiting the 11 a.m. EST bomb on Saturday. A record crowd of more than 250,000 was expected for the race, even though it will be displayed on closed circuit television in theaters and arenas from coast to coast. The long range weather forecast indicated the sky might be overcast on race day, but there was no reason so far to expect a postponement. Should the race be called off because of rain, it will be run on Monday. Two Brothers Play League Game Tonight Two Brothers of Decatur will play at Hoagland this evening, beginning at 8 o’clock, in a Vim league softball contest. The local team owns a 1-2 league mark thus far. Pony League Cubs Lose To Willshire Willshire scored a trio of runs in the last of the seventh inning to eke out a 6-5 victory over the Decatur Cubs in an exhibition Pony League game played at the Ohio team’s diamond Wednesday afternoon. -> The Cubs, although held to one hit, a first inning single by Don Williams, scored four runs in the second inning and added a fifth tally in the third. Willshire scored once in the third, added two in the sixth and then won the contest with three tallies in the last of the seventh. Alan Hutker, Stu Spiegel and Pete Mayclin shared hurling chores for Decatur. ATHLETE S FOOT GERM HOW TO KILL IT. IN 3 DAYS if not pleased with strong T-4-L liquid, your 4Sc back at any drufc store.

Bo Belinsky Goes Route To Defeat Twins By GEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer Bo Belinsky insists he’s strictly business now and the Minnesota Twins and Bill (The Derrick) Rigney believe him. Rigney, the manager of the Los Angeles Angels who yanks his pitchers at the drop of a hit, was so impressed by Belinsky’s performance Wednesday night against the Twins, that he allowed the errant lefthander to pitch the full nine innings. That might not sound like much of a reward, but from Rigney it is a supreme compliment. It was only the fourth time this season that an Angels starter has gone the distancetow mark in the majors. Belinsky allowed seven hits, fanned eight and did not walk a man while stopping the hardhitting Twins, 4-L in the first game of a doubleheader. Don Mincher’s seventh home run in the 13th inning gave the Twins the nightcap victory, 4-3. The victory was the second for Belinsky against two defeats, and gave him his first complete game triumph since Sept. 19, 1963. Stigman Gets Win Dick Stigman, (IO the third Minnesota pitcher, won the nightcap, while Don Lee (2-1), who worked the last five innings, was the loser. Harmon Killebrew hit his 13th homer in the opener Allison connected for his 11th in the second game for Minnesota. Lee Thomas singled home what proved to be the winning run in the third inning of the first game after the Angels had scored in the second inning on a wild pitch by loser Lee Stange (1-4). — In other American League games, Detroit defeated Baltimore, 6-3; New York stopped Cleveland 7-2; Washington edged Boston in 11 innings, 9-8, and a doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Athletics art Kansas City was rained out Philadelphia blanked Pittsburgh, 2-0; Cincinnati shutout Los Angeles, 1-0; Milwaukee stopped Houston, 2-0; San Francisco edged St. Louis, 2-1, and Chicago defeated New York, 7-1, in National League action. Ed Rakow (2-3) allowed the Baltimore Orioles only two hits in 4 1-3 innings of relief to pick up his second victory in three nights for Detroit. Al Kaline hit his eighth home run and Norm Cash added a double and single off loser Dave McNally (3-3). Yankees Bomb Kralick The Yankees raked loser Jack Kralick (4-1) and two relievers for 13 hits to back Al Downings’ (2-1) seven - hit

The victory was the sixth for the Yankees over the Indians without a defeat, Roger Maris and Clete Boyer each contributed a home run to the New York attack and Elston Howard added two doubles and a single. The Senators nicked reliever Dick Radatz (4-3) for a run in the 11th inning to halt the Red Sox winning streak at five. Dick Phillips’ bloop single after a walk, sacrifice and an infield hit, provided the winning run. Dick Stuart crashed his fifth and sixth home runs for Boston. He has hit four homers and driven in 10 runs in his last five games. Bill Skowron and Chuck Hinton connected for the Senators. Ron Kline, who allowed one hit in three innings of relief work, was the winer. Russ Snyder of Baltimore was ' injured seriously night and Jimmie Hall of Minnesota narrowly escaped serious injury in separate incidents. Snyder suffered a broken bone in his left foot when he stumbled beating out a bunt in the fifth inning of the Orioles game. He will have his leg in a cast for at least four weeks. Hall was hit on the left cheekbone by a pitched ball by Belinsky in the fifth inning of the first game, but X - rays proved negative. Examining physicians said Hall suffered ~ only a bruise and should be able to play again this weekend. "
