Moose Defeats Legion in Babe Ruth Action

Last evening's Babe Ruth game resulted in a 12-2. victory for the Moose over the Legion, a 7-run fifth inning changed a very close game into a near

runaway for the Moose. The j errors,

teams are very close and the next meeting of the teams could be a lot different so says coach Paul Smith of the Legion. Coach Bill Rader will take his victorous Moose team against the Elks tomorrow evening at

5:00.

A left hander by the name of Dee Monnett pitched and batted the Moose to victory. Dee limited the Legion to only 3 hits and struck out 12 and walked only 2. He also drove in a couple of runs with a double and a single. Shortstop Stan Brown was the games best hitter as he tripled and singled for the Moose. Larry Truesdale aided the Moose cause with a double and a single, j Other Moose hitters were Steve Bonney and Mike Custis. Joe Boswell singled to score Bill Nanovsky who had singled and Brad Smith for the only Legion runs. Craig York also singled for the Legion. Pete Norris pitched a fine game for

the Legion but seem to tire in the fateful fifth inning. The Legion will face the VFW

next Monday at 5:00.

Girl's Softball Notice The Greencastle Girls’ Softball team will play the “Eureka I Clown” of Danville, Illinois, this Saturday evening at Robe Ann Park. Playing time is 7:00 p.m. Morey Reaches Fifth Round CANTON, England UPI — Dale Morey, the former Hoosier golf ace, reached the fifth round of the British Amateur tourney today with a 2 and 1 victory over British Walker Cupper Mike Bonallack. Morey holed a 25-foot wedge shot on No. 17 for a birdie deuce to ice the triumph, which was sweet revenge for a loss to Bonallack at Pebble Beach, Calif., three years ago. Morey complained he couldn't sink a long putt all day, but his wedge on the 17th hole turned the tide and advanced him to an afternoon match against Gordon Clark of England.

Yankees Win Tilt In Bizarre Play

BOSTON UPI — The fates have not been kind to rookie Yankee Manager Yogi Berra this season — but things are getting better. Berra saw his team score a run after being apparently retired Wednesday night. What’s more, the runner who scored carried the ball in his hand part of the way. The bizarre play stemmed from a boner by Boston catcher Russ Nixon and the quick thinking of veteran Yankee base coach Frank CrosettL There were two outs and the bases empty in the Yankee eighth when the fun began. Rookie relief pitcher Pete Mikkelsen swung and missed a third strike in the dirt and Nixon tossed him the ball. Mikkelsen started down the third base line, rubbing the ball and waiting for his glove to be brought from the dugout. The Red Sox were leaving the field and the Yankees were spreading out to their positions when Crosetti directed Mikkelsen to

run.

Rain Interrupts OMAHA, Neb. UPI — The rain — plagued World Series of collegiate baseball was to make another stab today at finishing a round without interruption from the heavens. Only one second-round game-with Seton Hall eliminating Texas A&M, 14-5 — was played Wednesday before a steady shower arrived to make the farmers happy and the ball players angry.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The director of competition for the United States Auto Club predicted today Speedway cars will still drive in the 150 miles per hour bracket-even with an engine size reduction of about 25

per cent.

US AC's rules committee made the recommendation at a meeting Tuesday and there was speculation that the change will be adopted in September — effective in 1967. It would also limit cars on j the American championship circuit to the international Grand Prix formula that goes into effect in 1966. “The recommendation to reduce the engine size is a very good one,” said Henry Banks, himself a former race driver and national champion. Per-formance-wise, he added, the smaller cars should be equal to the larger machines, “but wc will be able to curtail some of the excess speed.” One car, driven by Bobby Marshman, unofficially hit 160 m.p.h. in practice at the Speedway last month, and several other drivers were only little more than an eyelash slower. But with the exception of the Memorial Day 500-mile race in

w T hich two drivers were burned to death in a flaming collision, Banks pointed out the entire month of May was one of the safest in years. “We feel a slight reduction in speed is a step in the right direction from a safety standpoint,” Banks said. “It should result in more international competition and will encourage the development of new engines. “We also feel confident that Ford and possibly Chrysler will come up with 3 liter engines,” he added.

Longest Course GRAND BLANC, Mich. UPI — They blasted off in the Buick Open golf championship today with indications that it would be a sound barometer for next week’s coveted U. S. Open. Warwick Hills Golf Club, over which favored Mike Souchak and Tony Lema lead a field of 149 pros and 10 amateurs, is the longest course the pros have played this year.

While heated action unfolds on the courts, fans sit comfortably in the shade of the towering trees that preside over the NCAA tennis tournament now in session at DePauw University. Twenty-nine matches were decided on the sevencourt layout yesterday as the field in singles w r as cut from 42 to 16. Tonight only eight players remain in singles. Doubles competition has been sliced to eight teams.
