Majors Hot Club: Mots; Sox Divide With Orioles

By CURT BLOCK UPI Sport* Writer A near capacity crowd of 50,000 is expected to gather at Shea Stadium tonight to watch the hottest team in baseball. It’s the annual Mayor’s Trophy exhibition game between New York’s two teams, but the twist in this case is that the Mets are the hot ones while the Yankees have been slumping. The American Leaguers apparently aren’t taking the game too seriously. They’ve recalled Jim Brenneman from their Richmond farm club to pitch and Manager Yogi Berra has indicated he might even play and will go with reserves most of the way. But Casey Stengel, you can be sure, will be out to win. Stengel may whisper some well wishes into Berra’s ear and include a few jibes about how the Mets have won seven of their last eight, slyly omitting any reference to the games behind column. Takes Doubleheader The Stengelmen took two thrillers from the Chicago Cubs Sunday 2-1 and 5-4 with late inning rallies and although it didn’t change the National League pennant race drastically it sent the fans home crying for more and hoping to get it at the expense of the Yankees. Ed Kranepool’s bases-loaded single in the lOtOh inning of the opener gave the cellar-dwellers their opening game win. The hit came off southpaw Leroy Gregory but Bob Buhl put the men on base and took the loss. Lefty Bill Hunter pitched a total of 1 2-3 innings in the doubleheader but was credited with both victories. In the second game, the Mets worked their miracle in the last of the ninth. Bobby Klaus, who hiS third homer of the year' in his previous trip tp the plate, opened with a ,single. He moved to second on a sacrifice and to third on a wild pitch. The next two men were walked intentionally to load the bases but Charley Smith foiled the strategy with a line single to left that gave Hunter his third win of the season. Other NL Action In Sunday’s other National League act ion, Philadelphia bested Pittsburgh 9-3, Los Angeles shutout Cincinnati 1-0, San Francisco edged past St. Louis 3-2, and Houston outclassed Milwaukee 7-1. The Phillies upped their lead to 7% games behind the slugging of rookie sensation Richie Allen. The righthanded swinging third baseman powered his 22nd and 23rd homers of the year and added a single to drive in four runs and lead a 16-hit attack against five Pirate hurlers. Jim Bunning worked seven innings in 91-degree heat and gained bis 14th victory against only four defeats. John Boozer pitched one-hit ball over the final two innings. Roberto Clemente and Donn Clendenon blasted home runs for Pittsburgh and catcher Gus Triandos contributed his fifth of the season with one on for the Phils. Threw Three-Hitter Los Angeles righthander Phil Ortega fanned eight and gave up only three hits in his first complete game since May 19. Cincinnati starter and loser Jim O’Toole yielded the game’s only run when Dick Tracewski singled home Nate Oliver from third.

Cardinal second baseman Dal Maxvill booted Harvey Kuenn’s two-out grounder in the 10th and allow Jay Alo’u to score from third as Barney Schultz, who hasn’t permitted an earned run this year, suffered his second loss without a victory. Lou Brock broke a string of six straight strikeouts with an eighth inning homer that sent the game into extra innings. Billy O’Dell got the win and even his record at 6-6. Veteran Don Larsen pitched his first complete game in five years as the Colts completed their season series with Milwaukee, winning 12 and losing six. Larsen scattered five hits and was aided by homers from Bob Aspromonte (12) and Walt Bond (19). Warren Spahn absorbed his 12th setback against six victories. National-League — Al Lopez keeps insisting his White Sox can do it, and if they do it’ll be with the same formula they used five years ago — pitching, speed and defense but hardly any power. Chicago slapped, punched and » sliced 13 hits in Sunday’s doubleheader with Baltimore. Eleven were singles and the other two doubles but they still wound up with a split and saved themselves from a humiliating four-game sweep by the Birds to stay within reach of the top, 1% games back. Lopez called on southpaw Gary Peters, 1963 rookie-of-Ihe-year, to apply the brakes to the White Sox skid and extract a pesky thorn from the manager’s side. Causing Lopez’ discomfort was third baseman Brooks Robinson. The series opened Friday with the Sox leading the Orioles by a half game. Robby drove in the winning runs both Friday .and Saturday and had three hits and two RBi’s in the first game Sunday, which Baltimore won 7-3-Peters Took Charge His first inning run productig single in the nightcap had Lopez groping for aspirin but Peters took charge £fter that and went all the way, behind seven singles, for his 14th victory against seven setbacks when his teammates managed three runs off loser Steve Barber in the seventh for a 3-1 triumph. In the opener, 19-year-old Wally Bunker (13-3) allowed only six hits, coasting in after Baltimore scored twice in the -fourth and four times in the fifth. Singles;, by Chicago’s Robinson, Floyd, Bill Skowron, and former Orioles, Ron Hansen and Dave Nicholson and a throwing error by Sam Bowens gave Chicago its second game runs. In other American League games, New York nipped Boston 4-3, Cleveland downed Los Angeles 6-4 and 3-2, Detroit defeated Minnesota 5-2 after dropping the first half of a twinbill 6-5, and Kansas City beat Washington 3-1 and then lost 8-5. Mickey Mantle and Johnny Blanchard drove in all the Yankee runs to help righthander Jim Bouton achieve his 14th win in 25 decisions. Mantle belted his 27th homer with a man on in the third and Blanchard’s sacrifice flies in the sixth and eighth accounted for the final two tallies off Boston loser Earl Wilson. Cleveland swept Los Angeles behind the pitching of rookie Tiant and southpaw Jack Kra-

End Spots May Be Problem; Soph Might Provide Remedy

By Bob Shraluka (Editor’s Note: First of a series of six articles previewing, position by position, the 1964 Decatur high school football squad.) Decatur football fans are looking to what could be one of the school’s finest seasons. Overall, the team appears to be stronger than in some years, although there may be a lack of depth. A main trouble spot could be at end, which will be the first position we cover in this pre-season preview. The surprise of the Yellow Jacket training camp thus far is a lanky sophomore who could be the key to any end problems the DecaturiteS might have 'this season.

Six-foot, 160-pound Dave Anderson came to camp August 15 as an unheralded sophomore up from last year’s freshman team, with no more than an outside chance of winning a starting position at end. Now, however, he could be the key to curing toe ills made at end by the graduation of Greg Ladd and Dean Lehman, last year’s starters. Has Red Shirt Head coach Wally Yeoman handed out red shirts at this morning’s practice sesison, the red shirts 'designate the first eleven and afford the players an idea of where they stand), and the prized red pullovers went to Anderson and Dave Smith. Yeoman and line coach Steve Brandenburg agree that Anderson has been one of the hardest workers in camp and just might keep that red shirt throughout the season. The rangy sophomore owns two very important assets —a liken-, ing for toe body -contact and .the intelligence to learn the fundmentals of his position. His varsity experience is listed at zero but this may not be too large a handicap to overcome with the ability he has shown thus far. Other Starter If the jamboree was this evening, and not eight nights off, the other starter would be senior Dave Smith. Smith is 6-1, 160 pounds, and like Anderson, not to big as ends go. He is said to be keeping his Essig Cops Open; Majorki Midway Luke Majorki, owner-pro of the local golf courte, finished about midway in the final 66 golfers in the Indiana State Open Tournament which concluded in Indianapolis Sunday. Majorki,. who fired an open-ing-round 70, finished 10 over par with a 72-hole total of 294, 14 strokes behind the winner, Indianapolis pro Don Essig. After his 70 on Thursday Majorki carded a 74 on Friday, another 74 on Saturday and finished with a 75 Sunday. John Siiveges, Fort Wayne Orchard Ridge Country Club pro, had a 296 total, and Bill Miller, 1963 Fort Wayne city champion, posted a 299 total. Essig turned in his first over-par score Sunday, a one-over 72, but it was good for a two-stroke victory. Essig finished the tourney with a 72-hole score of 280, four under par, for first money of SI,OOO Pro Arnold Koehler of Connersville, who fired a 70 on Sunday, had a 282 and collected S7OO.

“nose to'the grindstone” in nractice sessions and may turn out to be a talented performer before the campaign ends. He needs work on his blacking and pass-grabbing, but this wil come with experience, which he has only a small amount of at present. Neither Smith tor Anderson has a starting spot “sewed up” though’ as right behind them are seniors Tom Whitaker and Tom Engle. Whitaker is six-foot tall and weighs 150 pounds. He had a good pair of hands and could develop into an outstanding pass receiver. A good miler during the tracic season, Whitaker is, always in good shape. He doesn’t from the rough going, and coach Yeoman says he is doing “a gooddob’’ in pre-season training. 1 . . Engteßllii—' ’ Engle, a 5-9, 140-pounder is SI.

learning a new position, after playing in the backfield in his other there seasons. Although he is “light,” he could come on strong after picking up some of the knowledge of the duties of an end. Most certainly not to be counted cut the two biggest lads of the eight vying for a starting spot, junior Ron Smith and senior Dave Hammond. Smith has matured;: Jot physically in the past year, and now stands., 6-3 and weighs a strong 195 pounds. Hammond is the team’s tallest, standing 6-4. and packs 190 pounds on his frame. Smith, younger brother of Dave looked very good early and was in the running fol a starting job. He racked up an ankle, however, «the gimpy pin has been givhiflMjttlte a bit of trouble. If fie shakes the injury though, he could grab a starting berth lyHammond is strong and rugged, and could turn out to be the best pass receiver on the squad. Neither he nor Smith have any experience to speak of. Also in the running are John August, 6-1, 155 pound junior, and Dave Coliler, a 6-1, 165 pound junior. Both may be seeing some action later in the campaign. Concerns Coaches In it is a fact that the end positions are one of the main problems concerning coaches Yeoman and Brandenburg now. If Anderson can continue the flashy form he has shown thus far, while picking up valuable experience, the potential trouble spot could be eased a great Teal. And, if that occurrs, and Smith, Whitaker, Engle, Smith, or one of the others could come through also, the problem could be voided completely. Only time wil Itell!
