Little League: Indians, Red Sox Win; Two Games Tonight
Die Indians and Red Sox advanced in the Little League’s double - elimination tournament with victories in a twin-bill Saturday, and ousted the Tigers and Senators from the competition. The Indians rapped out eight hits and romped to a 10-5 verdict over the Tigers in the first game, while the Red Sox nipped the Senators by a 1-0 count in a rain-shortened game. The Indians meet the Red Sox tonight in a loser’s bracket game, beginning at 7:30 p.m. In the first game, the tournament’s two unbeaten teams, the Yankees and White Sox, battle at 6 o’clock. The winner of the loser’s bracket game tonight goes against the loser of the second game at 6 o’clock Wednesday night in another contest in the loser’s bracket. The winner of the White Sox - Yankee game tonight will then go against the winner of the Wednesday game for the tourney title. Title Game If the winner of the Wednesday game beats the unbeaten nine, a second game will be required to decide the tourney champ. There was only one hit by each team in the second game Saturday, called after four inings due to rain, but it was a big blow for the Red Sox struck by shortstop Greg Cook. Art Mankey and Mike Stonestreet walked with two out in the second inning and Cook followed with a single, driving in Mankey with the game's lone run. It was the only hit by the Red Sox off two Senator hurlers, starter Duane Moser and reliever Ron Landrum. Busse Has Shutout Red Sox lefty Alan Busse tossed a one-hit . shutout. He walked four and hit one batter, while whiffing three, but was especially tough in the clutch. Dick Harman got the only hit off Busse after Landrum walked with one out in. the second frame. But Busse bore down and struck out the next two batters to retire the side without any damage. Indians Win The Indians 'grabbed a two-run lead in me firstjrtnlng and never trailed in their first game victory, as they came up witha pair of four-run innings. - A walk to Tim Feasel, a single by Max Bedwell, a walk to Ked Birch and Sam Ortiz’s single jumped the Indians into a 2-0 lead in the opening inning, and they built the margin to 6-0 with four in the third frame on three . consecutive singles by Bedwell, Birch and Ortiz, a walk to Kerry Knape, an error and a single by Carl Hower.

Bears 'Shocked' At Death Os Two Stars -
RENSSELAER, Ind. (UPD— The world football champion Chicago Bears were “shocked and greived” today by —the death in an automobile accident of star halfback Willie Galimore and husky split end John Farrington. The two gridiron players died when their car overturned on a lonely country road Sunday night about 2>2 miles from the Bear training camp. “We are s hocked and grieved,” a Bear spokesman said. The tragedy was the second this year to occur to a Chicago sports team. Kenny Hubbs, standout second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, was killed during
Hie "Bullpen" By Bob ShraMka WEATHER permitting, the Little League wjll name its first post-season tournament champion this week, after some exciting battles during the past week. More of the same can be expected as the tourney concludes this week. ALTHOUGH the hitters grabbed the spotlight last week, for one of the few times this season, shortstop Tyler Hill’s big night at the plate for the White Sox Thursday stood out. Ty, who has really been rapping that ball in the past four or five games, became the second player in the league this seaston to collect four hits in one night. Tom Bullinger had the feat earlier. AFTER popping out to second base to start the game. Hill followed with four singles in his next four trips. He singled in a run in the second inning, singled in another in the third, batted in another run in the fifth and scored himself, and finished the big night with a two-RBI single in the sixth, and scored again. ALAN Busse’s one-hit shutout in the four-inning Saturday game was the best effort among pitchers. Busse allowed only one hit, a second inning single by Duane Moser, as he hurled the Red Sox into the next round of competition and eliminated the Senators. HOW about those Yankees, who ' are proving the old theory that you can never count out a team in a tournament. Winners of just three games in the regular season and last place tenants, the Yanks stand with the pennant winning White Sox as the tourney’s only unbeaten teams. THEY will meet tonight in the first game and the winner will then sit back and wait for the remaining teams to eliminate all but one club. The remaining team will then meet the Vnner of the White Sox-Yankee game for the title. And don’t forget, the winner of the Sox-Yank game will go into the championship game without a loss and will have to be beaten twice. MONMOUTH’S advance to the championship game was a big surprise. They had won only five times during the regular season, finishing next-to-last, but pulled off two big upsets in beating Geneva and the Decatur Braves, the two clubs that had tied for second place during the regular campaign, before losing to Berne in the title game. It was the first time the three-year-old tourney hadn’t been won by a Decatur team. The Cubs won the meet in 1962 and the Cardinals last season. BERNE had probably the most powerful hitter in the league this summer ih big Larry Beer. Bee* hit close to 10 home runs during the season, including a mighty blast against the Cubs last week that hit the fence on one 'jounce near the goal posts in left-cemer-field.
■ the winter when his private plane crashed near Provo, Utah. The death of Galimore, 29. and Farrington, 28, stunned the Bear camp. George Halas, 69-year-old “Papa Bear” and head coach of the World Champions, rushed to the Jasper County Hospital here to identify the bodies. ■ Halas them notified Mrs. f>aiUrnore and Mrs. Farrington by telephone of their husbands’., deaths. Galimore has three young children. Farrington was married after the close of last season; his wife is expecting their first child. Coroner E. R. Beaver, the Bears’ training camp physician, said the accident occured when Galimore’s Volkswagen hit the shoulder of the road and flipped “over. Galimore and Farrington were apparently on their way back to camp after a round of golf. Galimore, a flashy but virtually unknown fialfback when he came to the Bears from Florida A&M, became one of the National Football League’s most spectacular rookies in 1957. A spindle-legged scatback, he had a gift for old fashioned broken field running and a deceptive, loping giat that he could shift into a jack-rabbit pace. Despite the fact that Galimore underwent . surgery on both legs before last season, he was probably fastest man on the Bear squad. He had . drive and balance and was a hard man to bring down,.

Yanks Regain A. L Lead Sunday; Giants Gain V/2 Games On Phillies
♦Hy GEORGE C. LANGFORD UH Sports Writer There’s a ridiculous masquerade party going on in Chicago. Al Lopez has his sluggers disguised as pitchers. Actually the White Sox pitchers, who have suffered with a supporting cast that is next-to-last in run production in the American League, have taken matters to their own bats. Relief pitcher Eddie Fisher singled home the winning run in the 12th inning of Sunday’s first game to give Chicago a 5- victory over the Minnesota Twins. Starter Gary Peters, who hurled 11 innings, staked himself to a 3-1 lead in the second inning with a three-run homer and later added two singles. The White Sox won the nightcap 3-0 to creep within one game of the Yankees who took over first place from the Orioles. John Buzharcn. pitched a six-hitter for the Sox and really didn’t need much support but added a single and a sacrifice just for effect. Hurlers Raise Average Chicago hurlers collectively are hitting a substantial .385 in the last nine games. They have socked three home runs—twq by Peters—and., one by Juan Pizarro — and have driven in eight runs during that period. They also happen to make up the best pitching staff in the AL with an earned run average below three per game. Don Buford homered in the first game and Ron Hansen connected in the nightcap for the White Sox. who registered their ninth doubleheader sweep. All four doubleheaders in the AL were sweeps. In the lone single game, Was hi ng ton knocked Baltimore a half game behind the Yankees with a 4-1 victory. The Yankees toppled Detroit 11-6 and 5-4’ Los Angeles took Kansas City 3-0 and 4-3 in 10 innings and Boston measured Cleveland 6-1 and 4-1. Yanks Go» Wild The Yankees clubbed Detroit pitching for 63 hits and 41 runs in the four-game series but it play by the Tigers’ Dick Me-’ Auiiffe and George "Diomas in the seventh inning of the second game Sunday to insure the Yankee sweep. The Tigers were leading 3-1 with two out and Tom Tresh on first when John Blanchard lifted a short fly to left which Thomas and McAuliffe watched drop between them. Phil, Linz doubled and pinchhitter Hector Lopez scored Blanchard and Linz with a single. Tresh and Bobby Richardson each contributed a single, double and home run in the opening game victory, and Roger Maris added four singles to pace the 16-hit attack. Dave Stenhouse, who hadn't won all season, three-hit the Orioles and Don Lock slugged a two-run triple to break a 1-1 tie in the fifth and provide the Victory margin. Ed Brinkman homered for the Senators off loser Dave McNally. Pinchhitter deluxe Bob Johnson of the Orioles delivered a single in the eighth inning to raise his average as a pinch-batter to .560.*N. L. Results Johriny Keane, a manager in hot water, resorted to some lefthanded tactics over the weekend to take the heat off. The St. Tziuis skipper saw his Cardinals' skid into an eighthplace tie Friday night when they lost their seventh game in 10 starts. He heard Cardinal owner August Busch call his team “sluggish” and listened to general manager Bing Devine cite “a combination of failures".,on, the. team. Keane well might have felt his heave-ho was imminent. After all, he was guiding an eighth-place team which just a year ago chased the World Champion Dodgers through September for the National League flag. But Keane seized upon a glaring weakness of the leagueleading Philadelphia Phillies, who quiver .at the sight of a lefthanded pitcher. He started three southpaws, including a rookie making his first major league start. The result was three straight St. Louis victories and the first peaceful night’s sleep for Keane in weeks. Cards Win Two The Cardinals swept a twin, bill from the Phillies Sunday 6- and 4-1 ‘behind the pitching of 25-year-old rookie Gordon Richardson, called up from Bowsher Cops Hoosier '3oo' At Fort Wayne FORT WAYNE, Ind. <UPI) — Jack Bowsher, Springfield, Ohio, Sunday won the “Hoosier 300” stock car race by finishing three laps ahead of Jack Sanklin, Indianapolis, and Jerry Bowsher, his brother, in third place.
Jacksonville of the International League Friday, and maturing Ray Sadecki Richardson held the Phillies to six hits, fanned five and didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning of the opener. Curt Flood, who drove in four runs. Bill White and Tim McCarver each had three hits to support the Colquitt, Ga„ southpaw. Sadecki blanked the Phils until the ninth inning of the nightcap, and yielded only five hits in gaining his 11th victory, one more than his 1963 total. Ken Boyer, who had five hits for the day, was the hitting star. The Giants took advantage of the Dodgers’ porous infield to score four unearned runs in the ninth inning and snap Sandy Koufax’ 11-game winning streak 5-2. The triumph left San Francisco only a half game behind the Phillies and marked the second time in three days that the fumbling Dodgers have
