TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS. 1964

Bl Decatur’s most fervent Yankee fan has a few words of advice for friends inquiring about Monday’s 5-2 loss. Go to where, Bob? Compliments of his friends. | Shraluka ’sSlants I By Bob Shraluka . H The Baseball Nut If you are a baseball fan and live in Decatur, consider yourself fortunate. This city is quite a baseball town, and from mid-April to early October its probably the zaniest burg in the entire world! Its actually a little sad when the baseball season ends each October, because all the fun is finished — at least until next April. Its hard for an outsider (a non-baseball fan) to realize, oi* even believe, some of the ideas the White Sox fan plots for the Yankee fan, or the Yankee fan comes up with for the Tiger fan. Remember the Linz * Harmonica Incicent ? This writer got a couple of telephone calls the next day, with only a harmonica playing on the other end of the line. 4 received a sparkling, red harmonica several days later. A week ago last Saturday, a certain barber who has no need for such a service, got not one but two harmonicas. They were neatly delivered by a postman in a small box. That same barber was the guy who kept popping through the door of Two Brothers a few weeks before to deliver brief serenades on a harmonica for one Cornelius Geimer, who is on record as being a Yankee fan. ♦ ♦ * ♦ ♦ , JKh* 1 1 /F" iife w®S' F: iff 'Mwr ™ m /Jwhu vllr ■Rf f .

Cards In Good Position, Go Home Needing Win

looks Good/ Claims Keane By MARTIN LADES UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — “It’s St to look good from here. is was a big game.” A smiling Johnny Keane relaxed in the St. Louis clubhouse after the Cardinals wrested a 5-2, 10-inning victory from the New York Yankees Monday to go one-up in the World Series and reflected on just how important one hit can be. The hit, of course, was a three-run homer by Tim McCarver in the 10th inning that broke up the game and sent St. Louis home needing just one more win to take the series. “M'cCarver’s been a steady player for us all year but it takes just a hit like this and it can make a great big difference to his career,” Keane said. “It just does something special for you. As a matter of fact, it did something for all of us. Could Help Career “It could even have helped my career.” This last was a joking reference to the oft-repeated reports that Keane’s job as Cardinal manager was up in the air until they pulled out the National league pennant and that he still is not certain of returning to St. Louis as skipper next season. “We’re in good shape now because our boys never die,” Keane said. “They bounced back right away after (Tom) Tresh’s homer.” McCarver said he didn’t think at first that his ball would go into the seats. “I just tried to hit it up in the air and then I saw Mickey Mantle going back and back. I thought that at least it would bring home the run. When it went in, I had a feeling of disbelief. I don’t even remember touching second base. Started To Laugh "When I. went back into the dugout, I just started laughing.” As for pitcher Bob Gibson, McCarver said he wasn’t any better Monday than he has been for the last month and a half. “He just hasn’t pitched a jbad game for a long time,” McCaver said. "You just know you’re going to get something good from him.” Gibson, who struck out 13 batters, said he wasn’t particularly trying for strikeouts. “I just tried to get the ball up there with something on it,” the strong righthander, said. "I wasn’t nervous at all and I wasn’t tired at the end. I , intended to pitch until we won.” U. S. Has Five Gold Medals In 2 Days By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor TOKYO (UPl)—Three Americans, led by 26-year-old naval Lieutenant • Frank Gorman of Queens Village, N.Y.., shot info the lead in men’s springboard diving at the Olympic Games today while other Yanks scored impressively in basketball, rowing, swimming and boxing. The U.S. forces, leading all nations with five medals on the first two days of competitio, set up chances for a 1-2-3 sweep of the men’s springboard event when Gorman, Larry Andreason of Los Alamitos, Calif., and Ken Sitzberger of River Forest, 81., grabbed the lead at the end of the seven preliminary dives to top eight qualifiers for the final Earlier, the eight-oared crew from Philadelphia’s Vesper Boat Club and a US. fouroared crew without coxswain made up of rowers from the West Coast qualified for the finals by winning “second chance” heats. Q U.S. Whips Peru The U.S. basketball team whipped Peru, 60-45, tor its 41st Olympic triumph and third this year with Jerry Shipp of the Phillips Oilers leading the way on 18 points. The Russians, leading threat to American basketball supremacy, also continued unbeaten by routing Hungary, 8442.

(UPI)— Indiana coach Phil Dickens Monday charged that a referee’s “miscall” figured in the Hoosiers’ failure to get off a field goal which could have beaten lowa with seconds to go in their Big Ten game. Dickens told the Varsity Club referee Mike Delney of Chicago “admitted by telephone” that he called intentional grounding on IU quarterback Richie Badar just before the Hawkeyes won last Saturday, 21-20. The Hoosiers were deep in lowa territory when Badar threw out of bounds with 40 seconds to go on the lowa 18 yard line. Delaney said he saw no Indiana receiver but Lickens said films “clearly show a Hoosier receiver almost catching the pass.” Without an . offside penalty which nullified that play, Indiana could have had a “first down and five yards to go” situation on the lowa 13 with 40 seconds left. “It would have changed the strategic situation completely,” he said. "But what really hurt was the referee told our quarterback he could not throw out of bounds. This is something everyone is doing and what our quarterback has been coached to do.” Throwing short flanker passes out to the sides where a receiver can step out of bounds to stop the clock is frequently counted on when time is running short. Dickens said that the referee’s advice to Badar made the quarterback "afraid to throw the out-of-bounds pass. Instead, he called a running play for the sidelines and we didn’t make it.” Dickens acknowledged he may be accused of “sour grapes and making trouble for myself, but I can’t stand by silently when this happens to a bunch of boys who fought their hearts out to win a game.” He said he had his field goal specialist ready to go in for the 3-point placement which could have won the game. Condition Os Wilt To Be Known Today FRANCISCO (UPI) — Wilt Chamberlain, the cog in the San Francisco Warriors attack, was scheduled to disclose today whether he will be able to play this season for the National Basketball Association club. General Manager Bob Feerick said that the seven foot, one inch center would meet with the press this afternoon and announce the result of a three weeks examination which he had undergone at St. Mary’s Hospital. Other than that, Feerick would not elaborate. Chamberlain entered the hospital on Sept. 22 complaining of abodminal pains. According to a preliminary diagnosis by Dr. Richard Cavenaugh, Wilt was suffering from inflammation of the stomach and intestines. The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m., PDT.

'WeßeenDown Before:' Yogi NEW YORK (UPl)—The New York Yankees fly to St. Louis today determined to carry on a tradition 42 years old. It’s been that long since they lost two Consecutive World Series. Not since 1921, and ’22, when John McGraw led the New York Giants to back-to-back victories over Miller Huggins’ Yanks, have National League teams been able to stop the Yankees two years running. The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated New York last year in •four straight games. “We’ve been down before and come back,” freshman Manager Yogi Berra said after Monday’s 10 inning 5-2 St. Louis victory gave the Cardinals a 3-2 edge in games. Can Make Comeback “We could win two there,” he added. The Yankees have wlways been able to come back in the series, even on the road.” % In 1958 the Bombers faced a more desperate situation but whipped Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette in the last three games to win the championship. It Sas been worse but even Berra's lame excuse “we had to go back to St. Louis anyway” couldn’t hide his disappointment at having dropped two games in a row on gopher balls. Sunday, Al Downing served Ken Boyer a change up which the Redbird third baseqian clobbered for a game winning home run and Monday sinker ball specialist Pete Mikkelsen and St. Louis catcher Tim McCarver were the principals involved. “I should have been extra careful,” Mikkelsen explained. "I’m a sinker ball pitcher but that one was up tod high. If I walked him it loads the bases but at least no one scores.” Controversial Call The big righthander would have been the winner rather than the goat had it not been for a controversial call by first base umpire Al Smith on Joe Pepitone in the ninth inning with one on and the Yankees trailing by two runs. Sfnith ruled Pepitone out on a dlose play just before Tom Tresh unloaded a home run that tied the game instead of ending it. “I couldn’t believe he called me out,” Pepitone said. “My foot hit the base and then I heard the ball hit his (first baseman Bill White) glove. I beat it by a good half step. I want to see those pictures.”

Colts Roll On, Thump Cards

v By JOHN KADY United Press International BALTIMORE (UPI) — In one man’s opinion—Lenny Moore’s —the 19M Baltimore Colts are "as great, if not greater, than I the championship teams” of 1958 and 1959.

Aik any of* his Baltimore teammates and they'll tell you that Lenny Moore is as greet, if not greater, as he was in those glory days of half a decade ago’ when he starred as Johnny Unites’ favorite passing target. MooreU spectacular comeback this season is one of the main reasons why the Colts once again are steamrolling through the National Football League—and steamroll is exactly what they did Monday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Scoring the first four times they got their hands on the ball the Colts trounced the previously unbeaten Eastern Division leaders, 47-27. The victory, their fourth in a row after an opening game loss tb Minnesota, installed the Colts in first place in the Western Division and established them as the team to beat for the NFL title. And. as in other games this season, it was Baltimore's revitalised running game that packed most of the offensive punch. Four of the five Colt tourchdowns came on rushing plays. The key man in Baltimore’s ‘‘new look” is Moore. Nd longer the fleet flanker back of five years ago, Moore now concentrates on short yardage plays and has become one of the league’s most powerful ball carriers. Moore scored one of Monday night’s touchdowns on a fiveyard run. Also participating in the touchdown parade were rookie Tony Lorick on an 11yard dash, Unitas on a six-yard rollout, Tom Matte on an 80-yard run and Ray Berry on a sixProfessional Grid Leagues National Football League By Palte4 Pre** International Kaatern Dlvlalon W, U T.
