M Squad, Pepitone Blows Forced Today's Deciding Tilt

Don't Have Edge,' Yogi By ED SAINSBURY UM Sports Writer ST. LOUIS (UPD—Manager Yogi Berra eliminated his own alibi if his New York Yankees should happen to lose the World Series against the Sit. Louis Cardinals today. “Both (J i m)' Bouton and (Mel) Stottlemyre have done a terrific job for us,” he said. “We don’t have the edge, but I think we’re in just as good shape as the Cardinals.” Bouton racked up his second World Series win Wednesday, and Berra promptly proclaimed, "It’ll be Stottlemyre tomorrow.” “If Stottlemyre doesn’t have it,” he added, “I’ll have everybody ready in the bullpen.” Everybody, though, won’t include his pitching coach and star lefthander. Whitey Ford, suffering from an injured heel which impedes his motion. Ford warmed up briefly Wednesday and couldn’t throw effectively. “That means he won’t be available at all,” Berra said, "unless he suddenly gets awfully better overnight. If he could have pitched yesterday, I would have used him, and if he was all right, he’d start today.” Bouton had trouble of his own and said “I wasn’t as sharp as I wanted to be. I didn’t feel right, until the fourth inning.” “I did a better job in the other game,” he said, speaking of Saturday’s 2-1 win, “but I had better stuff in this one; Especially with my motion, I had to get used to this mound.” Bouton got a lift, though, when Joe Pepitone hit a grand slam homer, the third of his career, to cap a five-run Yankee eighth inning. "What a beauty that grand slam was,” Bouton said. “There’s a difference pitching wh«i the score is 8-1 ami when it’s a 1-1 tie.” Report Keane Has Offer From Pirates PITTSBURGH (UPD — The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported today that St. Louis Cardi-. nals’ Manager Johnny Keane has been offered a three-year contract to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. The newspaper said the information came from two sources — one a very close friend of the 52-year-old Redbird pilot. (In St. Louis, Keane said “there is nothing” to the report. “I have heard reports of that story from Pittsburgh, but I know nothing about- it. When this series is over, I will meet with August Busch (Cards’ president) and until. I reach an agreement with him, I am not entertaining any other offers.”) FISH FRY Sat., Oct. 24, ’64 5:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. n».

Winner lan O’Brien of Australia smashed Jastremski’s world record with a clocking of 2:27.8—f0ur-tenths of a second faster than the mark hung up by the former Hoosier star this summer. Russia’s Georgy Prokopenko was second, equaling Jastremski's■ J'former record of 2:28.2, and Jastremski was third in 2:29.6. It was the fourth medal for Hoosier competitors in Olympic swimming competition.

TisTigW Again/ Keane By LEONARD ADAMS United Press International ST. LOUIS (UPD — For the St. Louis Cardinals and Manager Johnny Keane who is bargaining for a better contract, there is no tomorrow. The Redbirds came back ■ from an 11-game deficit in late August to win the National League pennant on the last day of the season. On that day, they had to beat the New York Mets. Today, the order is much bigger. They must beat the New York Yankees and Mel Stottlemyre. Keane said Wednesday, “It’s tight again. It’s been this way ail year for us so this is noth- ' tag new.” “We’re better off being even. Usually we have had to come from behind,” he added. Keane said he was “leaning toward (Bob) Gibson” as today’s starter and the big ’righthander said he would be ready to go. “I’m going to look at Gibson, Ray Sadecki and Roger Craig,” Keane said. The manager said Gibson “is a little stiff but he. shakes that off. He’s a pro.” The pitcher returned, “I was stiff yesterday (Tuesday) but I - feel pretty good today. After all, you’re usually stiff the day after a game but I’m ready.” Keane had more to worry about than his pitcher, however. First baseman Bill White is one for 23 in the series. Third baseman and captain Ken Boyer, outside of a grand slam homer in the fourth game, is not doing much better. Keane said he would stick by his established stars. “After all, you win with them all year; you can’t worry about that slump now.” Grade Playoffs To Open This Thursday Plans for the annual post-sea-son tournament of the local sth and 6th grade baseball league were announced today by Decatur high school athletic director Bob Worthman.

End Ron Smith Is Doubtful For Comet Game On Friday

Junior defensive end Ron Smith I may be missing from the linelupE when the Decatur Yellow Jac-B kets travel to Kendallville tag search of their fourth win in suc-g cession and their sixth of the 5 season. Game time is 7:30 p.m. ? The 6-3, 195 pound Smith, one of the mainstays of the defensive unit, suffered a concussion In the Elmhurst game and doctors are doubtful of his getting into ac- , tion Friday night. Smith, the younger brother of offensive end Dave Smith, has teamed with senior Dave Hammond to give the Decatur eleven strong work at the ends of their defensive line. He has made several key tackles in opposing backfields, and came up a timely recovery in the Elmhurst contest Saturday night. Defensive back Lon Hawkins is also on the dpubtful list again for Friday's game. Hawkins, a six-foot, 160 pound sophomore, is still hobbled by a knee injury. ■Bbl * RON SMITH (May Miss Game)

Oerter Gets Third Gold Medal In Row in’

By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor TOKYO (UPI) —Massive Al Oerter of West Babylong, N.Y.,,, won his third straight Olympic gold medal in the discus throw today and the United States regained world supremacy in the 100 meter dash and eight-oared rowing. Big Bob Hayes of A&M, wearing borrowed shoes, tied the world record of 10 seconds flat as he blazed to his long expected 100 meter tri- 4 umph but the rowing success was a shocker. Philadelphia's Vesper Boat Club eight, a hybrid crew put together less than a month before last summer’s team tryouts, swept through almost total darkness with an ever-in-creasing lead to knock off Germany’s defending champions. Czechoslovakia finished third. An American pair-with-cox-swain, with Ed Ferry of Seattle and Conn Findlay of Belmont, Calif., manning the oars, also won a gold medal/’ U.S. double scullers won a silver medal and four - without - coxswain finished third for a bronze medal. Wins Rifle Competition Gary Lee Anderson, a divinity student from Hastings, Neb., gave the U.S. a gold medal in the 300 meter free rifle competition with a world record score of 1,153 points and Lesley Bush

Rest Ready The rest of the Decatur lineup | that has recorded five wins in ! six starts this season, appears | ready physically for the Kendall- ’ ville invastion. The Decatur lads will be out to settle a score with the Comets for a 21-20 loss suffered at Worthman Field last season. That heartbreaker kept the Yellow Jackets from finishing the 1963-64 campaign with six straight wins. After losing two of their first three last year, Decatur won three in a row before dropping that one point decision. They then proceeded to Win their final two games. The Comets are still winless after six starts, including four Northeastern Indiana Conference engagement. With several players dismissed from squad due to disciplinary reasons, the Kendallville starters are not definite. Comet Starters If they go with tiie same combination that started the New r Haven game last Friday, how--5 ever, they will throw up an of--8 Tensive line that averages more g than 182 pounds per man, and a 3 backfield that will average alfj most 150 pounds apiece.

Miss Bush defeated Germany’s Ingrid Kramer, who won both the platform and springboard events in 1960 and the 1964 springboard earlier in these games. Oerter, a teen-ager at the University of Kansas when he won his first Olympic crown at Melbourne in 1956, fired the discus to an Olympic record of 200 . feet, 1.63 inches. Now 28, the 265-pound employe of an aircraft plant made his record toss on the fifth of six throws. Oerter outclassed a feared competitor, Ludvik Danek of Czechoslovakia, who finished second with 198-6. Dave Weill of Walnut Creek, Calif., gave the U.S. a bronze medal at 195 feet even.

Then in the final, with the wind abated, he barrelled down . the red composition track before a crowd of 72,000 in National Stadium and led all the way with a clocking of 10 flatequalling the world mark shared by Hary and Canada’s Jerome. The Vesper crew, which had to work its way to the finals through a “second chance’’ heat after losing its first race, had to come from behind to score its tremendous upset. The Germans leaped off to an early lead with Russia second and Vesper third. At the halt way mark, the Yanks made their bid. They caught the Russians and set out after the Germans. At 1,206 meters the Americans lifted the beat to a sprint and majestically swept by the Germans to win by 5.06 seconds in 6:18.23.

Raw Power Is Story Os Series 6 th Game

By FRED DOWN UFI Sports Writer" ST. LOUIS (UPD—Raw power was the story of the sixth game of the 1964 World Series as the New York Yankees stretched it to its seven-game limit with an 8-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. That old Yankee home run trade mark—missing in earlier games of this series — was in evidence as Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and Joe Pepitone connected to pave the way for Jim Bouton to win his second game of the series and square the classic at three victories each after six games. The homers by Maris and Mantle—only the fourth time in series history that batters have hit consecutive homers — came with one out in the sixth inning while 35-year-old Curt Simmons was battling young Bouton pitch for pitch. Maris’ homer broke a 1-1 tie and then Mantle followed on the next pitch to make the score 3-1. Plenty Os Cushion IT»e Yankees gave 25-year-old v Bouton more than enough cushion when they bombarded Barney Schultz and Gordon Richardson for five runs in the eighth — four of them scoring when Pepitone hit the 10th grand slam homer in World Series history. Those extra runs turned out to be important because fidgety, nervous Bouton had just about pitched himself out in seven innings. Manager Yogi Berra let him work his way out of a jam when the Cardinals scored a run in the eighth to cut .the deficit to 8-2 but quickly yanked him in favor of Steve Hamilton when the Redbirds started another rally in the ninth. Hamilton yielded a run-scor-ing single to pinchhitter Charlie James but then got Curt Flood to hit into a game-ending double play. It was the second victory of this for Bouton, who won 18 games for the Yankees during the American League season. The loss went to Simmons, art 18-game winner, who pitched beautifully against the Yankees Until the M&M bomb. went off ‘ Managers Ose Hearty i All Therr Eligibles ST. LOUIS (UPD — The 1964 World Series has gone about as far as it can go — and so have Managers Yogi Berra .and Johnny Keane. Berra has used all his players except reserve outfielder Archie Moore and pitchers Bill Stafford and Stan Williams. The Cardinals have yet to use four men: Utility infielder Ed Spiezio, reserve catcher Bob Uecker and pitchers Ray Washburn and Mike Cuellar. St. Louis is carrying 25 players on its series roster while the Yankees have only 24 because Berra chose not to replace righthander Pedro Ramos with another pitcher as is permitted by the rules.

in the sixth. Take Brief Lead The Cardinals staked Simmons to a run in the first inning on singles by Flood and Lou Brock and Bill White’s infield double play. Simmons shut out the Yankees until the fifth when Tom Tresh doubled and scored the tying run on Bouton’s line single to left center field. Phil Linz led off the eighth with a single for the Yankees, moved to second on a sacrifice and to third on an infield out. Mantle was purposely passed but Elston Howard singled for one run and Tom Tresh walked to load 'em up again. That ended Schultz’ tour on the mound and brought in Richardson, who had a 2-2 count when Pepitone hit his grand slam. Bouton retired the first batter in the ninth but Yogi yanked him after singles by Mike Shannon and Jerry Buchek. Pinchhitter Bob Skinner greeted Hamilton with a run-scoring single but then Flood hit to Linz, who started the gameending double play. Hawks Start A New Season With Victory By United Press International The Chicago Black Hawks and netminder Glenn Hall just missed out last year but this is a new season. The Black Hawks finished the 1963-64 campaign with 84 points • and missed first place by one slim point behind Montreal. Hall, who has led the National Hockey League in shutouts four of the past five seasons, fell one short of the Canadiens’ Charlie Hodge last year in recording seven whitewashes. But both Hall and the Hawks are ready for the new year and displayed mid - season form Wednesday • night in blanking Boston 3-0 in Chicago’s opening game. ' Rookie John Brennaman opened the scoring with a first period goal. Phil Esposito fired in a 10-footer in the sectond stanza and John McKenzie rounded out the scaring midway in the final period with Doug Robinson and Stan Mikita getting assists. Reserves Downed This Week At Huntington Huntington scored a pair of touchdowns in the second half and went on to record a 20-6 victory over the Decatur high school reserves this week at the Viking field. Back Rick Sommer scored Decatur’s lone TD in the first two periods, as the two teams were deadlocked at 6-6 at half time. The loss was the fourth in six starts for the local reserves, who entertain Elmhurst at Worthman Field next Monday, in a 4:30 p.m. contest.
