‘Killer’ Leads Babe, Trails Maris; Farrell Wins No. 10

W CURT BLOCK UFI Bpvrto Writer If American League managers continue to throw righthanded pitchers at Minnesota,' Harmon Killebrew might go all the way. A survey of Killebrew’s major league leading total of 39 home runs shows that 30 have come at the expense of righthanded hurlers, supposedly the antidote to batters who work from the right side of the plate. Hammerin’ Harmon, who divides his Hows equally, 20 on the road and 19 in Metropolitan Stadium, poled No. 39 in Thursday's 6-5 Minnesota victory over Boston and in doing so boosted his batting average to .300, a charmed circle he has failed to attain as a major league regular, and gave him the league RBI leadership at 88, one more than Boston’s Dick Stuart. Nine Ahead The inevitable comparison to home run champions Babe Ruth and Roger Maris places the killer nine games up on the Bambino's pace and 13 behind Maris’ 1961 clip. The 28-year-old slugger’s specialty has been felt by every team at least once. Boston hurlers have been touched seven times, three from Jack Lamabe while the Cleveland staff . has allowed only one. Boston fight fielder Lee Thomas overran Rich Rollins’ fly ball in the seventh inning, allowing it to fall for a triple and scoring Zoilo Versalles from first with the winning run in Thursday’s game. In the only other American League contests, New York stopped Kansas City 5-3, and Detroit beat Chicago 5-2. * Sports Briefs LUTHER WINS TITLE ITHACA, N.Y.

Ralph ’ Terry (5-8) won his third in a row with late inning relief help from Hal Reniff and home runs by Roger Maris (16) ahd Elston Howard (9). Rocky Colavito and Nelson Mathews clouted roundtrippers for the A’s. Detroit scored twice in third and fifth innings as southpaw Mickey Lolich recorded his Uth triumph in 18 decisions. The White Sox collected 11 hits off three Tiger .. hurlers but stranded 13 men as Joel Horlen suffered his seventh setback against eight victories. N. L. Results A funny thing happened to Dick Farrell on the way to a 20-victory season. When the ’ muscular righthander stopped the Cardinals 4-1 on June 14 for his 10th victory of the season against one setback it seemed only an injury could prevent him from becoming the first Houston pitcher to win 20 games in one season. However, 10 unsuccessful starts and six defeats lay on the road to victory No. 11, which was finally achieved Thursday night, seven weeks later, at the i expense of the league-leading Phillies, 2-1. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound fastbailer is now aiming to better his 14-13 .mark of 1963. . Farrell blanked his former teammates on four hits for eight innings Thursday night before being lifted by Manager Harry Craft after West Covington’s one-out double in the bottom of the ninth. Relief ace Hal Woodeshick faced only pinchhitter Gus Triandos, whose single scored Covington with the Phils’ only run. Owens Saves Game Woodeshick was yanked in favor of Jim Owens, another ex-Phillie, who served up a ‘Dark Stays’: > Stoneham SAN FRANCISCO (UPD —All those rumors about Alvin Dark are jiist so much bilgewater, says the one man in the world who ought to know. Horace Stoneham, owner of the San Francisco Giants, gave Dark % vote of confidence Thursday and announced that he had no intention of replacing the Giant manager. For three unhappy days, Dark had been the subject of rampant rumor and speculation following a report by a New York sports - writer who quoted him as saying that Negro and Latin American players on his team lacked the intelligence of white players. After release of the interview, Dark called a press conference in New York two days ago and said he had been “gravely misquoted” and that the writer had apologized to him. The rumors that Dark would be fired continued, however, and Stoneham said Thursday thgt he felt compelled to clear them up. “I want to take this occasion to deny all reports that a managerial change is contemplated,” Stoneham said in a statement released here. “We feel that the incident that grew out of Alvin’s reported interview .. . has been exaggerated and distorted and that his reply to it has been generally accepted,” Stoneham said.

game-ending double play ball to Tony Taylor, which made FarreFs record 11-7. The loss decreased Philadelphia’s lead to m games over idle Sen Francisco. Elsewhere in the National League, Pittsburgh beat Los Angeles 4-1, Cincinnati clobbered Milwaukee 9-3, and St. Louis downed Chicago 5-3. The Mets and Giants were idle. Friend Win 16th Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski drove in three runs with a single and a double as Bob Friend bested Dodger starter Larry Miller. The Dodgers were limited to nine singles by Friend. Tommy Davis had three. Roberto Clemente, the major league’s leading hitter, did not play because of a sore back. Deron Johnson and Vada Pinson drove in five runs between them and Frank Robinson had a perfect night with three hits as the Reds moved to within four games of Philadelphia. Joey Jay (7-8) won his third in a row, although he yielded Hank Aaron’s 18th homer in the sixth with two aboard, Hank Fischer, the Braves’ starter, was the loser. Chicago outhit the Cardinals 11-5 but lost when Bill White extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a two-run double in the third. Bob Gibson evened his record at 9-9 with ninth inning relief help from Mike Cuellar and former Cub Barney Schultz. Dick Ellsworth, (12-13) was charged with the defeat. Sherman Will Start Tittle By Unite 4 Press International Allie Sherman changes his plans at the drop of a pass when Y.A. Tittle is concerned. The head coach of the New York Giants was looking forward to starting Tittle’s understudy, Glynn Griffing, at • quarterback in the first couple of exhibition games this summer and taking a long look at a pair of rookies in ap effort to give Tittle’s backstops more experience. But all that went out the window this week when the 37-year-oM Tittle had trouble regaining his timing and “feel”— as Sherman calls it — on his passing. Sherman said Thursday Tittle would play most, of the Giants’ exhibition opener Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings at Minneapolis - St. Paul, and would be relieved by Wichita rookie Hank Schichtle. Sherman said rookie Gary Wood "of Cornell and Griffing would be saved for later games. Several •“veterans will be sidelined this weekend when the exhibition season opens. , Giants lineman Jack Stroud, who has been slow recovering from a knee operation, will be replaced by rookie Roger Anderson at offensive tackle; Detroit Lions linebacker Carl Brettschneider, defensive end Bill Quinlan and defensive halfback Dick (Night Train) Lane are out with an assortment of knee and muscle injuries. Those trimmed from NFL rosters Thursday included secman Charlie Killett, offensive halfback, and rookie Cody Binkley of Vanderbilt, cut by New York; center Len Slaby of Syracuse,, halfback Cliff Stallings of New Mexico and defensive back Bobby Towns, cut by St. Louis; defensive backs Scott Tyler .of Miami (Ohio) and Vince Turner of Missouri, dropped by Baltimore. Parnelli, Ward Are Slightly Injured TRENTON, N.J. (UPD—Former Indianapolis 590-mile race winner Parnelli Jones, Torrance, Calif., had his second close call with fire in recent month s Thursday when his car smacked the wall at the Trenton Speedway during tire tests. The badly damaged car burst into flames and Jones suffered burns on. his arm. But he was released after treatment at a local hospital and "said he would compete as scheduled in a USAC midget race tonight at Old Bridge, N.J. Jones suffered minor burns May ’ 30 when his roadster caught fire as he left the pits following a refueling stop in the “500” at Indianapolis.

Cravens, Bill Schnepf Are Junior Champions

Ed Cravens and Bill Schnepf copped titles in the Junior Match Play championship tournament at the Decatur Golf Course Thursday, in 18-hole match play. Cravens had to battle all the way before a par on the 17th green enabled him to edge Sim Hain, 2-1. Schnepf, meanwhile, had much less trouble with cousin Mike Schnepf, clinching his crown on the 14th hole. Cravens thus took home the tournament championship for the 15 to 18 year old age group, and Schnepf won the 11 to 14 group honors. Cravens is the sorj of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Cravens, 412 Limberlost Trail, and Schnepf the son of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Schnepf, of route 2, Decatur. Mike Schnepf is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Schnepf, 226 Oakridge,Place, and Hain is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Hain, of 206 Stratton Way. * Grabs Lead Hain grabbed the lead when he won the fourth hole in his round with Cravens, to go 1-up. After halving the fifth and sixth holes, Hain won the seventh and eighth to take a three-hole lead. • Cravens birdied the 9th hole to R. C. Owens Aiming For Coll Comeback WESTMINSTER, Md. (UPD—R. C. Owens has just about given up the “Alley Oop” type of receiving he made famous several years ago. However, he feels he can still catch a football and hopes there is room for him in the National Football League. Owens came to the Baltimore Colts in 1962 as a free agent after five years with San Francisco. That year he caught 25 passes for 307 5-ards. - Owens had hoped for a better start in 1963 but a disastrous auto accident on the way to camp, in which his daughter was killed and he and his wife injured, kept him out of action . most of the season. He cayght one pass for seven yards. “But Owens is hoping this will be his year. “I certainly consider this a comeback year,” a>he said. “I am physically sound and feel I am still capable of being on a 40-man roster in this league. “I know I will have to adjust to the Colts needs whether that means playing full time, part time or just yelling from the bench.” Owens is rated as a fine pass receiver but will be bucking some top talent such as Jipimy Orr, Raymond Berry, John “ Mackey and Willie Richardson. In all probability, Owens will befe a part time player this season, baring injuries to the front lines.

make the turn two holes down with nine remaining, and then started to “turn on tfie steam.” After halving the 10y, Cravens won the 11th and 12ft boles to tie the match, and then grabbed the lead for the first tinje in-the match by wining the 14th. Hain battled back, however, and won the 15th to again tie the match. On the 16th, Cravens had a fine recovery shot and one-putted for a par and a oneup lead. » Wins Match Hain trapped his second shot on 17, and Cravens hit his second shot within eight feet of the holei "He then two-putted for a par and the championship, as Hain finished by bogeying the hole, giving Cravens a two-hole lead with just one remaining. Bill Schnepf had little trouble in wining his title, and ousting cousin Mike. He jumped into a big lead in a hurry, winning the first four holes, and at the end of the first nine, was five-up. After halving the 10th and 11th, Mike won the 12th, and was four down. The Schnepfs halved the 13th hole and Bill then clinched the match by winning the 14th, to close out the match with a fiye- ‘ up lead and just four holes remaining.

Bears Vs. Stars Tonight

CHICAGO (UPD — The Chicago Bears, losers only once in six matches against the pick of collegiate football heroes, were favored today to rack up another win in tonight's 31st renewal of the College AD - Star grid game. The Bears, their morale jolted by the deaths of teammates Willie Galtmore and John Farrington in a training camp auto crash, had the added incentive of revenge to prod them toward another win. The All - Stars won last year’s game against the 1 National Football League champion Green Bay Packers 1 20- and they also won the last time the Bears were in the game, in 1947 when Frank Leahy coached the collegians to a 16-0 decision. This was added ammunition for Bears owner - Coach George Halas to give his behemoths, and he reminded them frequently during training that Bing Crosby Golf Event To Be Held Amateur golfers in this area will get another shot at Bing Crosby’s golf game this summer, as the 3M Company conducts its second annual “Beat Bing” contest, it was announced today by Office Systems, Inc., of Fort “Wayne. .

Target of the contest will be the score carded by Crosby late this summer at the Wilshire Country Club in Los Angeles. The contest is open to any amateur golfer over 21 years of age. Competition will be in three handicap classes, 9-17, 13-20 and 21- If contestants do not have an established handicap, they may estimate what it should be on the basis of rounds they have played. Have Six Weeks Golfers wilt have six weeks in which to try to beat Bing. The deadline is August 30. Contestants may enter as many times as they wish, but must have all scores validated by the pro at the course of their choice. Contestants may pick up entry blanks at their local golf course.

There will be 533 prizes for the right guess, ranging from sport shirts to three trips to Pebble Beach. ’ Indiana Girls Lose In Women's Western WAUKEGAN, 111. (UPD— The hopes of two Indiana 15-year-old girls to win the Women’s Western Junior Golf championship went down the drain Thursday. Claudia Mayhew, Carmel, Ind., and Carmen Piasecki, South Bend, the girl she beat for last week's Indiana Women's championship. were eliminated in the quarter-finals here. Joyce Ann Jackson, Birmingham, Ala., beat Miss Mayhew, 1-up, while defending champion Janice Ferraris, San Francisco, defeated Miss Mayhew, 2 and 1.

“we can’t afford to lose two in a row.” However, the Bears will be against a team which will equal them in size and speed, but not in experience, and Otto Graham, tutoring the All-Stars for the seventh straight year, believed that with luck his squad could win. Deron Johnson Slill Giving Reds Spark CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPD— Deron Johnson, a former Yankee bonus player twice sent down to the minors, is proving to be a sparkplug of the Cincinnati Reds in their fight for the National League pennant this season. Johnson, ' 26, considered washed up as a major leaguer until early this season, is the regular first baseman of the surprising Reds who are waging a lively battle in the pennant chase. Cincinnati currently is in third place and local fans will tell you that Johnson is one of the big reasons the club is doing well, along with strong pitching. Johnson has a .312 ... batting average, 52 runs batted in and 15 home runs. The versatile Johnson, who was a Yankee bonus player when signed fresh from high -school in San Fiego in 1956, started the season platooning at first base with Gordy Coleman. But since late June, he has played regularly, working part-time in left field. He has 87 hits in 279 times at bat. His RBI total is only five shy of the club’s leader, Frank Robinson, who has been to bat about 100 times more. Johnson admitted a lot of people were surprised at the wav he is hitting, ''but if I didn't think I could hit, I would have quit the game. “Sure I got back to the minors a couple times, but no one ever proved to me I couldn't hit,” Johnson said. Although he's in a hot streak now, Johnson admitted he usually runs hot and cold at the plate. Asked what causes- the cold spells h£ grinned, “If I knew, I'd set me up an office and make myself a lot of money.”
