Cards 6 Knuckle’ Down To Move Into Tie

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The only fact more fantastic than that the St. Louis Cardinals are tied for the National League lead today is the role played by a 38-year-old pitcher named Barney Schultz. A journeyman knucklebailer who has been with 15 different minor league teams and two previous big league clubs in a checkered career dating back to 1944, Schultz has turned out to be the “lifesaver” for the Cardinals in their madcap dash for their first pennant since 1946. Brought up from Jacksonville of the International League oa July 31, Schultz has only a 1-3 won-lost record but in 28 games and, 48 innings he has yielded just nine earned runs for a glittering 1.69 earned run average. What’s more, he’s relieved in the Cardinals’ last five games — all victories — and

in 91-3 innings of the toughest sort of clutch relief pitching since Sept. 22 hasn’t allowed a run. Preserves Victory The 6-foot, 2-inch, 190-pound righthander wrote another chapter in his remarkable story Tuesday night- when he pitched shutout ball for we final 21-3 innings of the Cardinals’ 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cardinals’ seventh straight win put them in a flat-footed first-place tie with the Cincinnati Reds, who suffered a 2-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both the Cardinals and Reds have four games left to play while the Phillies, 11-2 games out of the lead, have only three. Schultz’ only previous claim to fame was in 1962 when he tied the major league record by relieving in nine consecutive games for the Chicago Cubs. Schultz’ close-out relief Tuesday night preserved Ray Sadecki’s 20th win after the young lefthander had yielded seven hits and two runs in 62-3 innings. Doubles by Dick Groat and Julian Javier and a homer by Bill White were the big blows in a 10-hit Cardinal attack that dealt the Phillies their ninth consecutive defeat. Friend Wins 13th Bob Friend was tagged for 11 hits but left 11 Red baserunners stranded and was rewarded with his 13th victory when Bill Mazeroski singled with the bases filled in the top of the ninth. Bob Bailey’s single, Roberto Clemente’s double and an intentional walk set the stage for Mazeroski, whose blow sent Bill McCool to his fourth loss against six wins. The loss ended the Reds’ nine-game winning streak. The San Francisco Giants remained technically in the race with a 5-4 win over the Houston Colts, the Milwaukee braves tripped the New York Mets 7-6 and the Chicago Cubs edged out the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 in other NL action. Matty Albu hit his first home run in exactly two years to give the Giants their 11-inning victory and Japanese pitcher Masanori Murakami his first big league win. Murakami pitched one-hit shutout ball over the last three innings to close out a game in which Tom Haller also homered for the Giants /and Jim Beaucoup and Rusty fctaub homered for the Carty's 21st homer and doubles by Lee Maye, Hank Aaron and Denis Menke led a 10-hit Milwaukee attack that Jets Beaten, To Open Basketball Sessions Lancaster scored a run in the last’ of the seventh inning and nipped Adams Central by a 4-3 score at Lancaster Tuesday afternoon. The contest ended the Jets’ baseball season, and they now open basketball practice, on Thursday, Oct. 1, the first day the IHSAA permits basketball sessions. The Jets jumped into a two-run lead in the first inning on a walk to Jim Case, a single by Rex Funk, an error and a pass ball, and boosted their lead to 30 in the second frame when Roger Schnepp walked, advanced on Steve Sturky’s single, and scored on Case’s sacrifice. Lancaster, however, rallied to knot the score with a five-run fifth inning, and then pushed over the winning run in the seventh.

Five Managers In News; Casey, Alston Rehired

NEW YORK (UPI) — Mighty Casey prevailed! Boiled down and stripped of all the sugar coating, that’s exactly what was meant When the Mets finally announced Tuesday that the chipper 75-year-old Stengel will be back as their manager next year. At first, Donald Grant, the Mets’ board chairman, neatly side-stepped all questions as to whether any other managerial candidates had been sounded out. Still another board member said he preferred “not to comment” on whether there had been any internal conflict among the club’s stockholders about rehiring Stengel. . Others Mentioned Later, and only under persistent questioning, Grant admitted there had been some discussion with one or two other “availables” just in case “Casey decided to retire.” Actually, Stengel never even considered it, a fact borne out by his statement that he intends “to stay in baseball as long as my health is good.” His health right now appears to be perfect and his voice was equally good during Tuesday’s Hollywood-styled kleig - lighted press conference. Alston Signs LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Walter Alston, the most durable National League manager since the days of John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson, will begin his 12th season with the Dodgers next year — and hopefully with a better-hitting club. Alston’s rehiring was announced Tuesday to stop “too many rumors” which Los Angeles General Manager E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi said were circulating about Alston being dropped. Bavasi also said he would make a deal for more hitting during the winter. “We certainly don’t blame Alston for the terrible job the team did this year,” Bavasi said. “At no time did (Dodger President Walter) O’Malley or myself give consideration of any other man.” Although the Dodgers have plunged from World Series victors by four straight games over the New York Yankees to a second-division team, ..Alston got a relatively “good press” this year in Los Angeles in view of the off-years suffered by some players and injuries. Many of the reporters at the news conference applauded the announcement. Ink Lopez Today CHICAGO (UPI) — The Chicago White Sox today were expected to announce the signing

of Manager Al Lopez for next season. A news conference is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Neither Lopez nor General Manager Ed Short would reveal they had even discussed a new contract. However, it was no secret that Short and Arthur C. Allyn, club president, were more than satisfied with Lopez’ 1964 efforts to keep the White Sox in the running. Lopez is completing his eighth season with the White Sox. He has led the team to erne pennant, finished in second place three times, and once each in third, fourth and fifth place. Keane’s Future? ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Manager John Keane, piloting the St. Louis Cardinals to a whirlwind finish in the National League, won’t know whether he’ll 'be retained or fired until the end of the World Series, it was learned today. Sources indicated that the way the Cardinals rebounded into pennant contention in the closing days of the season would have a bearing on Keane’s status. Less than two weeks ago, with the Cardinals seven games off the pace, Cardinal sources declined to say whether Keane would be rehired, and there was speculation that Keane would meet the same fate of former General Manager Bing Devine and business manager Art Routzong. But the situation took an about turn when the Cardinals * defeated Philadelphia oh Monday night. ‘ Pesky Leaving BOSTON (UPI) — The Boston Red Sox, who haven’t tasted pennant champagne since 1946 and who have sipped it only once in the last 45 years, will try again with another new manager in 1965. The Red Sox finally' replied to a long series of flat predictions Tuesday that Johnny Pesky would be replaced as manager by veteran coach Billy Herman. But' the club announced only that its managerial question would “most likely” be answered at a special Friday morning news conference at Fenway Park. Baseball writers, who have predicted freely for many months that Pesky would be succeeded by Herman, immediatedly assumed that their expectations were correct. The Red Sox would neither confirm nor deny anything. The speculation centered on Pesky and Herman. The name of retired star Ted Williams, currently listed on the club records as an “executive assistant,” has yet to be mentioned either by Red Sox officials or in the local press.

Colt Attack Best Balanced In League NEW YORK ,(UPl)—lt's still too early to tell, but judging from the statistics after three weeks of National Football League play, the Baltimore Colts might have the most wellbalanced attack in the league this year. The Colts, who last week trounced the defending champion Chicago Bears 52-0, are leading the league in touchdowns with 13 and in total points with 97 and figure to give the Bears and Green Bay Packers a real run for the division title. The key to the Colts’ success seems to lie in a more-balanced attack. Whereas in the past few seasons the team has relied on passing for most of its yardage, this year running is playing an equal role in the team’s offensive pattern. The result has been five more touchdowns this season than at the same stage of the season in 1963. And 29 more points. The Minnesota Vikings lead the league in total yards gained with 1090 and their 524 yards rushing is also tops. The St. Louis Cardings lead in passing yardage with 697, but the Packers are tops in pass completion percentage with 64.5. The Colts, however, have had only one pass picked off by enemy defenders to lead in that department. Green Bay leads in fewest points allowed (43) and the Vikings are tops in number of first downs (62). The best overall team defensively so far has been Los Angeles. The Rams lead in fewest first downs allowed (37), fewest yards gained allowed (568), lowest percentage of completed passes allowed (395) and number of interceptions (8), 2:30 Start For Game With Snider Saturday Decatur’s reserve team game with the new Snider high school of Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., and not 1 o’clock as was stated in Tuesday’s Daily Democrat. Admission is 25 cents.

Barker Top Scorer:

‘Dogs Still Atop NEK

New Haven’s Bulldogs could take a gigantic step toward their second Northeastern Indiana Football crown Friday when they meet the Cadets of Fort Wayne Concordia. The ’Dogs thumped winless Angola by a 33-0 score last Friday to remain as the only unbeaten and untied team in the NEIC. If New Haven wins the Cadet game Friday they need only victories in their final two conference games, with winlees Kendallville and Elmhurst, to wrap up the 1964 title. Decatur’s Yellow Jackets and Auburn, playing non-conference contests last week, moved into the runner-up spot when Columbia City upset the Elmhursj, Trojans by a 38-20 count. The loss was the first for the Trojans, against two wins and a tie, in the league, and dropped them into fifth spot. Concordia is the only team other than New Haven without a loss, but the Cadets, the 1962 football champs, have a pair of ties in three battles. Other Games In addition to the New Haven and Columbia City wins last week, Gdrrett rallied to bounce Bluffton, 19-7, and Concordia posted its first NEIC victory with a 19-2 decision over Kendallville's Comets. In the two non-NEIC affairs, Decatur exhibited its first offensive explosion of the year in a 32-6 romp over Portland, and Auburn rolled to a 41-0 win over Hicksville, O. Four On Tap Four conference games are on tap Friday night, and Elmhurst Geneva Bests Jets, Lancaster On Monday The Geneva Cardinals, copping three of the first four places, won a triangular cross country meet at the Rainbow lake course Monday afternoon, registering 35 points.

Auburn travels to Concord for another non-conference game. Only two of the 10 NEIC teams have failed to win a league encounter as yet. Angola has three losses and a tie, while Kendallville is winless in two outings. Concordia and Columbia City have only one victory apiece, while the other six elevens all have two victories each. Auburn, with its 41 points last Friday, leads the league in scoring in all games with 95 points.

The Decatur eleven rallied in the final period and nearly forged a tie. With about two minutes remaining in the game, Ron Journay blocked a Bluffton punt and Terry Myers scooped it up and scampered 15 yards for a TD. The young Jackets attempted to run for the point-after, but were stymied by the Bluffton line. Several fumbles hurt the Decatur cause slowing the attack. A highlight of the contest came in the second period when Decatur came up with a successful goalline stand. Duane Thieme of the local eleven also blocked a punt in the contest. Tackles Tom Robison was a standout on defense for Decatur, and he lead the team in tackles.
