Shraluka ’s Slants 'By Bob Shraluka The sports fan who enjoys them all really has to keep hopping these days to be in the know when it comes to the various sports. Baseball is in full swing now, but football is slowly creeping into the scene. Most of the trading in the National Football League, and there has been plenty of it, is probably about concluded for the time being, as the clubs are now signing their players for the coming season. In less than seven weeks, Decatur high school will open initial grid drills at Worthman Field, in preparation for what promises to be a very interesting 1964 season. Eveh the young footballers are starting to crowd into the picture. Harry Schwartz, one of this city’s biggest athletic boosters, told this writer last week tjiat he has already received some information concerning the annual Punt, Pass & Kick contest which his company sponsors locally. Plans are underway for the fine program which gives local youngsters a chance to win some outstanding prizes for their football abilities. Baseball is still, however, the present “TBone Steak” of the sports menu. The annual allstar game is less than a week off, and anyone who doesn’t believe the big, leaguers go all out. in the midsummer classic should graft a copy of July Sport and read Harvey Kuenn’s article, “The Impact of the All Star Game.” Also in Kuenn’s article is the reason the players voted to have two star games, starting in 1959, and why they decided to go back to just one game again last season. In the four doubleheader years of 1959 through 1963, the National League won five, the Americans two, and there was a 1-1 tie in Fenway Park in 1961 that was called after nine innings due to rain. The Americans once held a commanding 12-4 lead in the classic, but the Nationals need only a vic- , tory next Tuesday to square the series at 17 games apiece. The senior circuit moved to within one win of the junior league last July 9 at -Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium where they used a lot of daring base running to record a 5-3 win. The “feudin’ and fussin’ ” between the two leagues all begin back on July 6, 1933, when the Americans, came away with a 4-2 victory, as the Bambino, Babe Ruth, provided the margin of victory with a two-run home run in the third inning. Two of the games greatest managers were at the helm of the two squads in that first game played at Comiskey Park, Chicago. Connie Mack managed the American leaguers, and John McGraw the Nationals. v The classic was began in 1933 as a part of Chicago’s Century of Progress Exposition, and has been played annually with the exception of 1945, when there was no game due to a wartime curtailment on travel. The largest crowd ever to attend the game was 69,931 at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium in 1935. A good guess as to one of the stars of this year’s game would be Willie Mays, the Say-Hey Kid from ’Frisco. Willie needs just one base hit in this year’s game to go to the head of the class in the hits department for lifetime all-star action. He and Stan Musial are currently tied for the record with 20 hits in all-star play, and Mays accomplished in 14 games what Musial did in 24 games. The Giant star has the amazing all-star average of .417, 20 hits in 48 trips to the plate. He has scored 15 rups, hit two doubles, three triples and two home runs. In addition to the mark he shares with Musial, Mays personnally owns the record for most triples in all-star play, three, for the most stolen bases, five. The National Leaguers have won six and lost just twice in the last nine games, with the one tie. A prediction ? The American League — they’re due to start winning a few.

Larry Jackson Near Perfect Game; Nats, Kennedy Celebrate

ByGEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer The heat’s on Larry Jackson and that makes things almost perfect. The 33-year-old Chicago Cub righthander currently has his best jump on the 20-victory season which has been predicted for him every year since he broke into the major leagues in 1955, but which he has never been able to achieve. “I’ve never been able to help a ball club before May,” admits the forthright hurier, whose victory total hus ranged from 13 to 18 the last eight years. “I’m a hot weather pitcher. The hotter tiie better. It makes me concentrate more.” The mercury was in the mid80s Tuesday in Chicago and a delighted Jackson was even hotter as he missed the National League’s second perfect game within a 10-day span by a single pitch. Jackson hurled the Cubs to a 1-0 victory over Cincinnati and the only Red who didn’t wilt under Jackson’s spell was Pete Rose, who singled cleanly into Centerfield to open the seventh inning. Jackson dispatched the Reds with only 85 pitches in one hour and 40 minutes—the fastest game of the National League season—to register his 10th victory against five 1 defeats. . ; ; Tough Loss Joe Jay Was the gough-luck loser, allowing only two hits—both by rookie Jim Stewart—in dropping his first decision to the Cubs since July 29, 1961. Stewart’s single in the sixth in ning scored Dick Bertell who had walked and moved up on a sacrifice! ' .. ■ Jim Bunning (8-3), who turned in a perfect game 10 days ago against the Mets, limited the Houston Colts to five hits in' hurling the Phillies ■to an 8-1 victory over Ken Johnson (6-7). Johnson, who lost a no-hit effori to Cincinnati earlier this season, was the victim of three outfield errors by the Colts in •the first inning when the Phillies scored five runs, only one of them earned. John Herrnstein paced the Philadelphia attack with three singles. The victory kept the Phillies a half-game behind the pacesetting San Francisco Giants, who blanked the New York Mets 5-0. Milwaukee topped St. Louis 5-4 in the only other National League game scheduled. .Gaylord Perry 6-3 was freed from the bullpen for only the second time this year and won his first decision? as a starter, shutting out the Mets on three. hits. Orlando Cepeda slugged his 13th home run with one aboard and Tom Haller added his seventh in the sixth inning to seal the defeat for starter Galen Cisco (3-10) of the Mets. Pinchhitter Ty Cline delivered his. first homer of the season with a man on base in the eighth inning to account for the Braves comeback victory. Hank Aaron slugged four hits for Milwauke including a two-run homer, his 12th of the year, off loser Roger Craig (4-4). Former Cardinal Bob Sadowski, who relieved starter Wade Blasingame, was credited with his third victory in nine decisions. A. L. Action John Kennedy is a helmetslinging, = water cooler-kicking Irishman -with red hah* to match his temper and a flare for the dramatic home run. Ask his Manager Gil Hodges and he’ll tell you the 23-year-old infielder is one of the reasons the pilot of the ninth-place Washington Senators was , given a new, two-year contract Tuesday. Kennedy, who has flirted with a .300 batting average all season, celebrated Hodges' good news a few hours later by

well and Ked Birch, burled a nohitter at the Yankees and the Tribe romped to a 16-2 victory, featured by a 12-run sixth inning. With the victory, the White Sox moved to the top of the heap with a 5-2 record, and a one-half game lead over the Red Sox and Senators, each of whom own 5-3

elamming a three-run homer with one out in the ninth inning and the Senators trailing the Detroit Tigers 5-3. The blow presented Hodges with a 6-5 victory and it- was Kennedy’s second game winning blast of • <the month. Few players have made a more auspicious debut than the scrappy Chicagoan, who delivered a roundtripper his first time at bat in the major leagues in September, 1962. Lolich Takes loss , Kennedy, who is playing his first full year with the Senators at third base, connected off losing reliever Micky Lolich after Ed Brinkman had walked and Chuck Cottier had walked. Steve Ridzik was the winner in relief. The New York Yankees trimmed the Baltimore Orioles’ American League lead to three games by sweeping a doubleheader from the Los Angeles Angels 4-0 and 3-2 after the Orioles dropped a 3-1 verdict to the Minnesota Twins. Kansas City whipped Boston 2-1 and Chicago drubbed Cleveland 12-3 in other AL games. Roger Maris and the Yankes’ ,two .young hurlers suffering from the sophomore jinx— Jim Bouton and Al Downing—were the story of the Yankees ■' sweep. •_ / Homer Breaks Tie Maris aweked his 13th home run to break a 2-2 deadlock in the nightcap for his fifth hit in six trips in the twin bill following Bouton’s four-hit shutout in the opener. For Bouton, a 20game winner last season, it was only his sixth victory in 13 decisions. Downing (3-2) scattered eight hits and struck out six in going the route. Rookie Gerry Arrigo (6-1) held the Orioles to five hits for 7 2-3 innings and the Twins took advantage of loser Steve Barber’s (4-5) nine walks and two wild pitches to snap the Orioles’ seven-game victory streak. Moe Drabowsky, Wes Stock and John Wyatt collaborated on a two-hitter for the A's and Rocky Colavito accounted for both Kansas City runs with his 177th homer and a double. Carl Yastrzemski connected for the losers. Gerry McNertney’s' grand slam homer capped a seven run fifth inning for Juan Pizarro, who notched his 10th victory against four setbacks for the White Sox. Pete Ward, with three hits and Ron Hansen with two hits accounted for four Chicago runs. Master Mix, Stuckys Post Viclories Master Mix romped to an 18-3 Win over the Lifers, and Stuckys edged the Funks 5-2, in Adams Central Little League action Tuesday. A triple by Kolter, a double by Wittwer, and five walks received by R. Geyer, led the way for the Master Mix nine. Zurcher struck out nine and din’t walk a hitter in tossing the victory. Minnick and Gerig had doubles for the Lifers. Soldner poked a home run and Bruce Slusher hurled a near nohitter for Stuckyg in their win over Funks. Slusher, who fanned eight, didn’t allow a hit until the sixth inning when Funks scored their runs on two bingles. M. Liechty's double was one of tiie two hits.

marks. The Indians are a game back, with their 5-4 mark. Righthander Kuhnle tossed the first four innings, and lefthander Lutes the last three, as they scattered four Red Sox hits. A tworun uprising m the fifth inning produced the White Sox victory. Winning Rom Shortstop Tyler Hill singled home Jerry Fisher, who had reached base on an error, and Larry Bracey, who had been hit by a pitch, in the fifth inning, to break a 2-2 tie and send the White Sox into first place. The single was Hill’s second of the game. Hill opened the scoring in the initial inning after reaching base Safely on an error, but the Red Sox tied the count in the second inning when Tom Hullinger, the league’s hottest hitter of late, tripled and scored on a wild pitch. The White Sox regained the lead in their half of the second on back-to-back singles by Kuhnle’ and Randy Gehrig, but the Red Sox knotted the count again in the fourth when Bruce Roop singled and Kuhnle walked three batters. Kuhnle fanned nine and walked five in the first four innings, and Lutes allowed only one base runner in the fifth and sixth Alan Busse of the Red Sox hurled a fine game in a losing cause, allowing just two hits, as he struck out six and walked two. Indians Romp The Indians sent 18 hitters to the plate in a wild sixth inning as they broke open a close game to romp to a 16-2 victory in the nightcap. Baker started the contest for tiie winners, but was relieved by Bedwell with one out and the bases Ipaded in the first inning. Bedwell got the side out without allowing any runs to score, 'and pitcher through the , fifth, with Birch hurling the final inning. A double by Kent Reed and a single by Bill Schnepf gave the Indians a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but the Yankees tiejl the score in the second frame without a hit when Ken Braun and Bruce Bedwell walked, Jim McConnell was hit by a pitch, and Ken McKenzie walked, forcing in Braun. The Indians regained the lead on a triple by Bedwell, an error, and' a single by Kerry Knape, in the third inning, and the Yanks scored again in their half of the third without a hit... The Indians built their lead to 4-2 in the fifth inning with a single tally, before exploding in the sixth. The 12 rpns were gained on six walks, ah error, two singles by Jim Cochran, singles by Khape, Birch and Carl Hower, a double by Schnepf and Bedwell's second triple of the game.
