Cardinals Win, Cubs Lose As Pony League Opens Play In Double Header Last Night

The Decatur Cardinals bounced Adams Central, 15-0, and Geneva scored a seventh inning run to eke out a 3-2 win over the Decatur Cubs, as the Adams county Pony League opened its season Monday evening with a doubleheader at Worthman field. In a game played at Monmouth, it was reported that Berne downed the hosts, 17-12, in a contest called after four innings due to darkness.

Dispute Over Use Os Gas In Racing Autos INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPD—--1116 U.S. Auto Club officials will meet next week in the midst of a controversy over the use of gasoline as a fuel in race cars. But they have indicated no “snjjp decision” are in the works and Speedway chief Stewart Harlan Fenger hinted it may be some time before a decision either way is made. The dispute broke out after veteran driver Eddie Sachs, Detroit, and rookie pilot Dave MacDonald, El Monte, Calif., were killed in a second-lap tangle of cars which erupted in flames, trapping them. Owners and drivers said the fact both cars were carrying high octane gasoline in side tanks was a factor in the deaths. Most of the conventional front-engined roadsters use exotic alcohol mixtures. The Speedway “500” classic was won by A. J. Foyt in a conventional roadster. The cars involved in the crash were rear-engined machines powered by Ford engines. Second place finisher Rodger Ward, Indianapolis, drove a similar rear-en-gined car but carried the mixture instead of gasoline. Racing officials said it is a “known fact that gasoline is more combustile than alcohol.” But Fenger said,~ “we need more information than we have now. We have had fires here before.” Henry Banks, USAC’s director of competition and a former national driving champion, noted that both fuels will “burn readily if they are subject to flame or impact” Banks said the USAC rules committee will meet next Tuesday to study the fuel problem and also to study weight limit restrictions. MacDonald Funeral Services Wednesday EL MONTE, Calif. (UPD — Funeral services for Dave MacDonald, one of two drivers killed Saturday in the Indianapolis 500mile race, will be conducted Wednesday in the hillside chapel at Rose Hills Cemetery in Whittier, Calif. The 26-year-old rookie driver was survived by his wife. Sherry, two children, Richie, 7, and Vicki 5, his father, George MacDonald and a brother. new York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAY PRICES A.

Detroit TV Station Urges End To 500 DETROIT (UPD—A local television station in a Monday editorial called for discontinuance of the Memorial Day “500” auto race at Speedway because 56 persons have died in past years and “this is wrong.” The comments were prepared by director Robert J. Mcßride, of news and community affairs for station WJBK-TV, the CBS « affiliate in Detroit. “The special Memorial Day death list for the annual Indianapolis auto race was lengthened by two more names last - Saturday,” he said, referring to the deaths of drivers Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald. “The 500-mile Memorial Day race has been advertised many years as a proving ground for engines, tires, fuel and automotive genius. People associated with the spectacular race say this is a great test, a top contest to show the real leader in the automotive field. ‘‘We say this is nonsense. We say the Indianapolis Memorial Day race should be discontinued. It has killed 56 persons. That is enough.... “On a day when the nation is supposed to be mourning the untimely deaths of young men who went out to fight our wars, our greatest public attraction is one which offers the spectators a chance to see violent death. “Memorial Day is a time to pay our respects to those who have defended our country and our right to freedo. “It is not a day to kill people.”

up in a pitcher’s duel. Dubach allowed just two hits, walked three and fanning nine. Spiegel walked just two and struck out ten, while allowing seven hits. Cardinals Romp The Cardinals romped to victory in the first contest, scoring 15 runs on just six hits, as Bill Borror hurled a two-hit shutout at the visitors. Three walks, an error and singles by Steve Burger and Doug Halberstadt boosted the winners into a four-run first inning lead, and the Cards added two more in the second frame without the benefit of a hit. Seven bases on balls and singles by Borror, Dave Winteregg and Tim Bolinger upped the Cards’ lead to 13 runs in the third inning as 12 players batted and they added their final two runs in the fourth on two walks and Burger’s double. The contest was called after four and one-half innings due to the league’s 12-run rule. ADAMS CENTRAL AB R H E Harris, 3b 3 0 0 0 B.

Yankees Lose To Minnesota, Drop To Fifth By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Yogi Berra keeps saying he isn’t worried about the Yankees. That makes it almost unanimous because most of the other American League clubs are beginning to feel the same way, too. Yogi still is sure the Yankees are going to win and gnaybe he’s right although they seem to be going about it in a rather unorthodox manner. They dropped two notches Monday night from third place to fifth when they absorbed a 2-1 licking from the Minnesota Twins that represented their tyird loss in the last four games and their 10th setback in 18 contests. The Yankees’ primary problem is hitting, which has always been their primary asset in the past. Stigman Gets Win Sbuthpaw Dick Stigman of the Twins, whom they beat three times last year, turned around and beat them with a five-hitter Monday night and blanked them until the eighth inning when Elston Howard homered. By then it was too late because . the Twins already had nicked Ralf* Terry for both their runs to hand him his fourth defeat in five decisions. Don Mincher led off the second inning with his eighth homer and Zoilo Versalles drove in what proved to be the winning run with a single in the fifth. Tony Oliva, far out front in the race for the batting title and for rookie of the year honors, had two hits to boost his average to .386. Elsewhere in the American League, Baltimore kayoed Kansas City, 8-4, Boston knocked off Los Angeles, 4-3, and Cleveland won its fourth straight by defeating Chicago, 3-0. Wet grounds caused postponement of the Pittsburgh-Los Angeles game, the only one scheduled in the National League. Wally Bunker, the Orioles’ 19-year-old rookie, recorded his sixth straight victory without a defeat although Dick Hall had to come to his rescue when the A’s kicked up in the sixth. Hall allowed only one hit over the final 3 2-3 innings. Baltimore clinched the outcome in the third with a fiverun rally that chased rookie Aurelio Monteagudo with his fourth successive setback. The key hits were bases-loaded singles by Norm Siebern and Dick Brown. Wayne Causey and Luis Aparicio hit homers. Dick Stuart slugged his seventh homer in nine days with one on in the eighth to bring the Red Sox from behind and stretch the Angels’ losing streak to five games. The homer was big Stu’s ninth of the season and it came off loser Barry Latman (2-4). Bob Heffner picked up his fourth victory in relief of Bill Monbouquette. Three of those four victories have been at the Angels’ expense. Cleveland southpaw Jack Kralick celebrated his 28th birthday with a four-hitter
