Dick Gaines wins Houston Oilers Eager At Paragon Track y p Opponents
Club Owners To Hold Meeting BOSTON UPI — American League club owners met today to re-examine their controversial approval of the sale of the New York Yankee franchise to the Columbia Broadcasting System CBS.

the Diz Wilson Chevy won another 100 lap feature race at Paragon, Ind. He also won the 2nd Annual Midwestern Supermodified Championship Race, Aug. 15, which was 125 laps at Paragon. He had to push hard as Bob Kinser of Bloomington, driving the Lazy Fox Special was on his tail the last 15 laps. Bob Carrigan of Danville, 111., was in the lead for about 10 laps until his crankshaft broke and he had to pull out. Larry Miller of Oolitic, had fast time for the evening with Dick Gaines second.
HOUSTON UPI — The Houston Oilers would like nothing ; better than to pass their opponents in the American Football League goggle-eyed this season. They have the passing arms ^ and the catching hands, but ! Coach Sammy Baugh's biggest i goal will be to put together i offensive line that will give the tossers a little time to find tarI gets. A bit of the old Oiler passing glory shone in their 38-7 whipping of Boston opening their exhibition season. But four frusj trating losses followed, marked
by a growing inability by the once-mighty Oilers to get sustained drives and consistent passing combinations going. Baugh has dependable veter- ; an George Blanda to lead the i signal calling and rookie Don Trull of Baylor as an able assistant. Both were forced to swallow the ball repeatedly in exhibition play when opponents sifted through the line. The pass catching department has had trouble with injuries. Flanker Charles Hennigan and end Willard Dewveall are recovering and may be back in ac-
tion before long. Veterans Bob McLeod and Bobby Jancik are key parts of the pass receiving hopes. Promising rookies James Herron, Sid Blanks and Ode Burrell are good bets to help Charles Tolar with the running chores since Billy Cannon was traded to Oakland Tuesday. The Oilers' woes at pass receiving are nothing to the woes at offensive line. Walt Suggs is at one tackle and rookie Staley Faulkner is sure to get some line assignment. Versatile John Frongillo and John Wittenborn may offer help at both tackle and guard and Bob Talamini at guard and Tom Goode at center appear sure of their jobs.

fensive linebacker, the 6-1, 200 Thomas was one of the key’s in DePauw’s defensive unit that was the loop's toughest last fall. His defensive work accounted for three pass interceptions, topa for the »Tigers in 1963. Alcott and Thomas each have earned a pair of major letters under Coach Tom Mont who Is looking for his fourth consecutive winning season at the Tiger helm.

Oklahoma City Blasts Tribe; 8-1 INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Oklahoma City, fighting to hold onto a mathematical chance for a Pacific Coast League pennant, romped over Indianapolis Tuesday, 8-1. The 89ers bombed Indianapolis for four runs in the first inning on six singles and Chuck Dees added insult to injury in the ninth with the only homerun of the game, a two-run circuit blast off the fifth Indianapolis pitcher, Bill Dowson, who made his Triple-A debut. Oklahoma pitchers Larry Yellen, who pitched seven innings of shutout ball before tiring, and Jerry Nelson held down the Tribe.

Yogi Glad Stottlemyre Is With Yankees
Yogi Berra, like a lot of people, finds Mel Stottlemyre’s name a little difficult to pronounce. The New York Yankees’ manager, though, doesn't have any trouble explaining how h ippy he is that Mel was called up from Richmond of the International League a month ago to bolster his shaky pitching staff. "Any pitcher who keeps the ball low the way he does can't miss sticking in the majors,’’ says Berra. "He s a wonderful prospect.” Stottlemyre is more than that. Although only 22. he's showing signs of developing into the stopper of the Yankee staff. The right-hander from Yakima, Wash., used his inker ball to pitch the Yankees to within a game of the pace-set-ting Baltimore Orioles and to one percentage point of the second place Chicago White Sox when he beat the Minnesota
Twins 2-1 Tuesday night In the only American League action. Stottlemyre scattered n 1 n • hits while New York collected only four off Camilo Pascual and two successors. But the Yankee rookie struck out eight and again showed marvelous control by issuing only one walk. In gaining his fifth victory in seven decisions,-> Stottlemyre lowered his earned run average to a nifty 1 96. He has given up only 12 earned runs in 55 innings. In Tuesday's only other major league game, the Los Angeles Dodgers scored three runs in the first inning and made them stand up for a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The loss reduced the Phillies' National League lead to six games over Cincinnati, St. Louis and San Francisco. The Dodgers chased Art Mahaffey 12-7 in the opening frame on singles by Maury Wills and Willie Davis and

ing Congress (WIBC) which today has more than 2.600.000 members bowling in more than 114.000 leagues. The tournament which had eight teams in 1917 attracted a record 5071 last spring at Minneapolis. Women have been bowling since before the 1890s, most of them at the risk of their reputations. and formed leagues as early as 1907, under the direction of Mr. Dennis Sweeney, a St. Louis. Mo., bowling proprietor. But there had been no attempt at national organization, and their tournaments were merely casual get-togethers following the ABC events in wdiich their husbands competed. Then Mrs. M. Kelly, Jr., organized an association of St. Louis women in 1915 and wrote letters to other parts of the country urging women to begin local groups. The following year she invited them to St. Louis to compete in the first "national tournament.” After their eight-team tournament, and again with the guidance of Mr. Sweeney, they started what was to become the WIBC. These 40 pioneers voted to form an organization to provide and enforce uniform rules governing women bowling in leagues and tournaments, agreed to hold an annual national tournament and to encourage good feeling and create interest in bowling among women. WIBC still maintains these original principles and has come a long way since they were adopted. Its scope and services have increased to keep up with the fantastic growth — membership has more than doubled in the past five years— and interest that has made WIBC the largest women’s Sports organization in the world. Well-known among WIBC's I hundreds of services are: high ! score awards and free emblems for special bowiing perform- ! ances; large national tournaIment and rich prize funtl; perj fection of rules to govern and ! protect sanctioned members; a new r s service and magazine to publicize and inform women who bowl; supplies and aids to help leagues function smoothly; instructional pamphlets help make the game more enjoyable i — and many others.

Bowling Has Grown Laraer If the 40 women who started the first association for women bowlers nearly half a century ago were to meet today, they would be astounded at what has developed from their informal meeting.
