Babe Ruth All-Stars Selected For 64 Season

The 1964 Babe Ruth League All-Star team was selected last evening by managers John Brackney, Bill Branson, Bill Rader. Ed Hammond and league president Jerry Chance. The fifteen player squad will play several practice games before participating in the district tourney which will be held in Greencastle July 17th and 18th. The first of these games will be played Monday evening when they will meet the players in the league not selected for the squad. Mr. Chance will coach the other players and urges anyone not selected to be present in uniform to provide the tournament team with some real competition. Here is a complete look at the All-Star team. 1. Steve Bonney (Moose) batting .338 — Steve catches for the Moose and will provide the team the strength behind the plate. 2. Bruce Brackney (Elks) batting .435 — Bruce plays infield and outfield and can pitch. He will probably bat clean-up as he leads the league in extra base hits. 3. Darrell Brackney (Elks) batting .364 — Darrell is a terrific fielder and also pitches. He will probably play anywhere needed. 4. Stan Brown (Moose) batting .266 — Stan will play infield wherever needed. Stan has a good arm and plays heads up ball. 5. Chuck Evens (Elks) batting .350 — Chuck is a very good catcher and will be called upon no catch some very hard throwers. Chuck has a very good arm and calls a very good game. 6. Jay Frye (Legion) Jay has been out with a broken bone but made the team because of his speed. When the local team is in a close game Jay will be called upon to run the bases. 7. David Hill (VFW) batting .500 — Dave is a real long ball hitter who drives in many runs. Dave will probably play centerfield. 8. Phil Kidwell (VFW) — 2 wins 0 loss pitching record. Phil is also batting .438. He is one of Greencastles finest baseball players. 9. Dee Monnett (Moose) batting .556 — Dee is one of the fastest runners and solid hitters in the league. When the going is rough Dee will be called upon to pull the team out. 10. Bill Nanovsky (Legion) — .357 is Bill's batting average and Bill will do some catching for the stars. Bill who is a real big boy should add some power to the batting line up. 11. Pete Norris (Legion) bat ting .439 — Pete will add speed, left handed batting and pitching to the team. Pete will also be a threat on the base paths. 12. Terry Ross (Elks) batting .291 — Terry is a good hitter, relief pitcher and an excellent fielding first baseman. 13. Kevin See (VFW) batting .312— Kevin is one of the best fielders in the league and probably will play third base. Kevin also is a very smart heads up player. 14. Bill Walbring (VFW) batting .375 — Bill, is the hardest hitter in the league and will be shooting for home runs over the the fence. Bill also is a fine fielding first baseman. 15. John York (VFW) batting near .200 John was selected due to his relief pitching and good fielding. He will see a lot of action in the infield. These boys will represent Greencastle and Putnam County in the National tournament and will need your support. Come out and cheer them on to victory as they will be representing you.

Buis Team Makes Strong Show In Defeating Cville Team, 9-6

Geist Reservoir is reporting good catches of blue-gills using flies and redworms. Crappies are hitting deepw ater baits and minnows and bass are taking artificial bait-surface and deeprunning. Channel and blue catfish are going for craws, night crawlers and cheese. Cataract and Raccoon Lakes reported excellent large-mouth bass — some weighing 7 pounds or better — using deep-running bait. Smaller bass are taking top-water bait early and late. Good channel cats are being caught in the w'est fork of White River with minnows and sour mussell.

What a difference two weeks make! Yes. it was only two weeks ago that the Buis Feeds team played their first game with only three regular players and a bunch of scrub fill-ins only to be slaughtered 29-4 by Brazil. Last night they used 13 players to gain their second victory in a row, this one over a good Crawfordsville Jaycees squad, 9-6. Crawfordsville however, gained an early lead as they jumped on Buis starting pitcher, Jim Cowger, for tw r o runs in the first inning. The markers came on a RBI triple by Therber and a run scoring single by Hurst, who is perhaps the league’s leading hitter, Buis Feeds exhibited their new found power in the second as they came up with three runs on a run producing single by Cromer and a two rim triple by Haltom. CVille then took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the third on an RBI sacrifice fly by Hurst and an error by first baseman Long, on Fulwider’s ground smash. That proved to be the last lead C’Ville held in the contest as Buis went on to score two runs in the bottom of the third, in the fifth, and in the sixth for the victory. The third inning markers 1 came as Jim Jones led off with a double to left, the first of his three hits in the contest, and was brought home on a home run blast by Cowger. In the fifth Buis scored as Jim Jones again led with a hit and scored on a throwing error after Cowger singled to center. Their second run of the inning came on a groundout by Simms bringing in Hughes who had walked and advanced to third on a steal and a sacrifice by Delp. Dorsett replace Buis starting pitcher Cowger in the top of the sixth and it looked like CVille might rally as he walked the first two batters. They

scored one run as Wells stole second and came home as Simms throw ended up in center field. Dorsett got out of the jam as Turchi hit into a dauble play, Cowger to E. Jones to Hughes. Buis’ final two markers came on a double by Jim Jones, scoring Eddie Jones and an error

on Cowger's grounder which brought home Jim Jones. C’Ville got one run in the last inning as Hurst led off with a circuit blast to center for his third RBI of the game, half of C’Ville total. Dorsett then came through in great style to strike out the side and end the game.

Cowger got credit for the victory and Fulwider was tagged for the loss. Hurst, who does everything for the CVille club, relieved Fulwider in the bottom of the fourth. The veteran Fulwider had a badly burned pitching hand as a result of an accident in the plastics factory where he works.

don singles title, the main prize in world amateur tennis. Both men went into the match — the sixth all - Australian final in the last nine years — in a confident, easy mood. The result could hinge on speed and Emerson is by far the faster of the two. Both the 25-year-old Stolle and the 28-year-old Emerson are cut in the classical Australian mold. Both have a good service, can volley and can make th<- ground strokes. Stolle and Emerson are in top condition even though they played punishing doubles matches Thursday.

NASCAR's Top Drivers Line Up DAYTONA BEACH. Fla, UPI—NASCARs top drivere lined up for two 50-mile sprinta today to determine starting positions for Saturday’s annual Firecracker “400*’ stock car race. The front row positions were sewed up Thursday by Darel Dieringer and Jim Paschal, who were the only drivers to qualify before heavy rains canceled the rest of the day’s tune tirals. Dieringer, Charlotte, N.C., earned the pole position by pushing his 1964 Mercury to an official clocking of 172.678 miles an hour for one lap around the International Speedway’s huge oval. Paschal, a High Point, N.C., Plymouth driver, posted the second fastest lap, 171.837 mph, to earn the outside front row starting position for Saturday's race. Pre-race favorite Richard Petty, Randleman, N.C., was clocked unofficially at better than 178 mph before the engine in his new Plymouth blew out. Petty’s pit crew said, however, that a new engine would be installed in time for Saturday's race.

Tryouts Underway NEW YORK UPI —Twenty former Olympians, led by twotime discus champion A1 Oerter and broad jumper Ralph Boston, open a two-day struggle today to ke*p their hopes alive for berths on the 1964 U.

Denies Rhumor MILWAUKEE UPI — President John McHale of the Braves scoffed at a resurrected rumor Thursday that the National League baseball team would operate in Atlanta, Ga.,

next year, but refused to flatly state the club would continue to make Milwaukee its home. “I don’t think I’m prepared to answer that in anyway until the season is over,” said McHale when asked if he coud give a “yes” or “no” answer to the question of the Braves staling in Milwaukee in 1965. The Sporting News, a baseball newspaper published weekly in St. Louis, in a front

page story by Editor and Publisher C. C. Johnson Spink, said it had learned from “an unimpeachable source” that the Braves were committed to Atlanta for 1965. McHale’s refusal to confirm or deny the report gave rise to another rumor: that a prominent Milwaukee industrialist was prepared to buy the club to guarantee its continued stay in Milwaukee.
