W DKX DEW UM Sparta Writer BOSTON (UPI) - Wilmer Dean Chance, whose chief claim to fame had been as Bo Belinsky’s partner In a variety of improbable escapades, has been voted baseball’s outstanding pitcher. The 23-year-old Los Angeles Angel righthander was an easy winner in Cy Young Award voting announced Monday. And his victory margin was in sharp contrast to the scores of nine of the games he pitched last season. Chance, who tied the major league record for most 1-0 victories in a season at five, rolled up 17 of the 20 votes filed by a select committee of the Baseball Writers* Association of America. Larry Jackson of the Chicago Cubs was second with two votes for his baseball-leading total of 24 victories while 1963 Young award winner Sandy Koufax picked up the odd vote for a 19-5 record with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Easy Whiner The easy selection of Chance came after the quick-working fast ball pifcher tied the 1-0 record last set in 1933 by Carl Hubbell. But not even Hubbell identical score this past season. Chance, who turned in one of his finest performances by shutting out the National Leaguers for three innings of all-star play last season, said he was "real happy’’ over his selection but admitted he had been told three weeks ago that he had been chosen. Hy Hurwitz, national BWAA secretary who announced the poll results, said Chance’s unidentified ihformant was premature because the ballots were not tabulated until Monday. Upon getting the news officially, Chance insisted on sharing crtedit with at least five other members of the Angels — Ooadh Marv Griissomp first baseman Joe Adcock, shortstop Jim Fregosi, second baseman Bobby Knoop and outfielder Lou Clinton. “I hope ■ tp win eight or nine gamts before the All-Star break 'Bama Nears Irish Bucks Dipp To 7th NEW* YORK (UPI) —The* United Press International major college football ratings with first-place votes and won-lost-tied records in parentheses: Team Points 1.

next season," said Chance, who had only a 5-5 mirk at midseason. "If I can do that, I know I can have another good year, I have always been a strong finisher.” Frick Praises Chance Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, who presents the annual award, admitted he would have voted for Chance himself if he had been on the selection committee. "He’s one of the great ones,” Frick said of the Wooster, Ohio, resident. A Chance’s 1964 record was in sharp contrast to his earlier major league efforts. He won 20 lost 9, pitched a lively-ball-era high of 11 shutouts and a league peak of 15 complete games. He had a 1.65 earned run average in 278 innings during which he walked only 86 and struck out 207. His previous two and a fraction seasons with the Angels had produced a career mark of 27 wins and 30 losses and a 3.23 earned rim average with a high of 14 victories in 1962 as a rookie.

over its 1963 .showing, won the honor in the annual voting of a United Press International board of baseball experts. Bauer received 10 votes, Manager Al Lopez of the Chicago White Sox got eight and Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees was the choice of two experts. The season ended on a disppointing note for Bauer when his Orioles faded to third place after leading the league in the late stages of the race. However, before the campaign even started Hank had said he would be more than pleased if his team finished third. The Orioles were fourth, 18% games out of first place at the end of the 1963 season. An Oriole coach in 1963, Bauer was chosen manager because General Manager Lee MacPhail believed his harddriving approach would unite the diverse elements on the team. Bauer proved more than equal to the challenge. It was evident from the beginning of the season that Bauer had instilled a new “professional” spirit in the Orioles. Although a no-nonsense fellow, Bauer also displayed qualities of understanding and patience which helped, for example, to make an 18-game winner of raw rookie Wally Baunker. Under Bauer’s leadership, third baseman Brooks Robinson became one of the biggest stars in baseball and Milt Pappas matured into a star pitcher. The Orioles, however, were hurt badly when they lost the service of slugger Boog Powell during the late stages of the season and then suffered an even more important blow when their bullpen crew finally broke down under the physical strain of the long season. DCHS Ticket Sales Hit Record Figures The Decatur Catholic high school Athletic Association closed its annual ticket sales for the 1964-65 basketball season with a record high in both student and adult season ticket sales, according to an announcement today by Rev. Denis Blank, athletic director. The drive began on October 28th, and closed last Sunday, November 8. A meeting of the eight chairmen was held at-St. Mary’s rectory on Monday and confirmed the good news, Rev. Blank explained. ♦ Anyone still interested in purchasing a season ticket or being a “booster” may do so by stopping at Holthouse Drug Co., on Second street, as the church rectory or at the Knights of Columbus hall. Season tickets will also be on sale at a special window at the Decatur high school gymnasium when the Commodores open their new season by hosting Larwill on Friday, November 20. Liston-Clay On WOWO Through a special arrangement with the Mutual Broadcasting Company, Fort Wayne radio station WOWO (1190) will carry the Clay-Liston fight on Monday evening, November 16. The special program will begin at 9:45 p.m. Decatur time.

Wilt 15th In Points But Coming On Fast NEW YORK ■ (UPI) — Wilt Chamberlain is far behind his accustomed spot at the head of the National Basketball Association scoring parade, but the San Francisco Warrior ace is coming along fast. Plagued by an intestinal disorder, Chamberlain missed half of San Francisco’s 10 games and is tied for 15th among scoring leaders with 167 points.
