Prep Grid Powers Open ,64 Season Friday Night

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — East Chicago Roosevelt and Evansville Reitz, usually among the best in the far north and the deep south, kick off their Indiana high school football campaigns this weekend as a season possibly loaded with surprises unfolds on all fronts. It’s the first time all bigcity teams see action and the results will be reflected in the season’s initial UPI coaches' board ratings next week. Elkhart’s defending mythical state champs bit the dust in the first major eyebrow- raiser last Friday at South Bend. St. Joseph’s clipping a 14-game winning streak, but the season openers of Reitz and Roosevelt were expected to be more successful. Reitz, looking for a better season than last year’s 6-4 record, invades Southern Conference rival Vincennes Friday. Herman Byers, whose boys went 32 games without defeat before New Albany snapped the string last year, 19-13, hopes to start another winning streak. At East Chicago, Chet Lukawski pilots the famed Rough Riders for the first time. He inherited the job when Pete Rucinski, a fixture since the 1940s, was “kicked upstairs” as athletic director for the East Chicago public schools. Roosevelt was 7-1-1 a year ago. losing only to Hammond’s Northwest Conference champions. Hammond Tech, another loop rival, provides Roosevelt’s first opposition Saturday. Kokomo at Lafayette and Logansport at New Castle usher in North Central Conference warfare Friday. That same night. Tipton invades Huntington for a Central Conference clash that means plenty to both. Tipton’s lone loss last year was in the season opener at Huntington. Boonville at Evansville Bosse and Rex Mundi-Central at Evansville are other better SIAC scraps Friday, while city foes; North and Harison clash Saturday. The Western Conference offers a crowded league schedule, with Brazil at Terre Haute. Willey and Terre Haute Garfield at Sullivan the stand-outs Friday and Clinton testing Terre Haute i Gerstmeyer Saturday.

Windy Hill Lady Golfers Hold Low Putt Tourney

Finley Says He Will Sell Athletic CHICAGO UPI — Charles O. I Finley went ahead today with plans to sell his Kansas City Athletics. He said he wanted no part of baseball “because of such lousy shenanigans” as CBS purchase of the New York Yankees. “There’s nothing but selfish j interests in approving this sale,” Finley said here after the American League formally approved the Columbia network's purchase. “I see the national pastime of baseball being shot to hell because of poor leadership and poor thinking.” Finley said. 1 “Today’s action could be the ruination of it.” Finley, a Chicago businessman, said he wanted $8 million for the Athletics. He said he was putting the club for sale to anybody in Kansas City. If he can't sell it in two weeks.! Finley said, “then I'm putting it up for sale to anybody out- i side Kansas City.”

Fifteen members of the Windy Hill Women's Golf Association took advantage of one of the few remaining group plays on Tuesday morning, September 8th. to compete in a low putt tournament on the nine hole course.

Powell Is Back In Action For Baltimore Orioles

Cardinals Make Pennant Move By United Press International The St. Louis Cardinals arc making their long-waited pennant run but the odds and National League history suggest it’s too little, too late. Only a year ago the Cardinals staged a spectacular drive of 19 victories in 20 games that carried them to within one game of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 16. Then the pressure told and the Cardinals lost three straight games to the Dodgers and faded out of the

race.

Now it’s the Philadelphia Phillies whom the Cardinals are chasing — chasing with a string of four consecutive victories and 13 wins in their last 16 games wilich have reduced their deficit to five games. They’ve cut six full games off the Phillies’ lead in two w r eeks but their moment of truth is not yet at hand — only in sight.

Koufox Or Chance Take Your Pick NEW YORK UPI — Sandy Koufax or Dean Chance? No matter u’hich of the two Los Angeles aces you pick as pitcher of the year, you're in

trouble.

Each has his own legion of loud supporters, who claim their man is the only logical choice for the Cy Young award, annually bestowed on the outstanding major league pitcher of the year. The matter comes to a head now because the Baseball Writers’ Asociation of America, which conducts the voting for the award, has put the ballots in the mail. Too bad it’s imposible to vote a split ticket, but either Chance or Koufax is going to win the award and making a choice is akin to picking out the i greenest blade of grass. Sandy won the award last year, along with practically everything else. He's at somewhat of a disadvantage this time i though because elbow trouble has sidelined him for the final

month.

Yankees Recall Five Players NEW YORK UPI — The New York Yankees Wednesday re- j called five minor league playrrs who will report this weekend.! Recalled from Richmond of the International League were i Jake Gibbs, Elvio Jiminez and Bud Daley. Brought up from Columbus of the Southern League were Mike Hegan and

Roger Repoz.

By United Preu International The Baltimore “cop” is back on the beat. The “cop” is John Boog Powell, the 6-foot, 4-inch, 235pound outfielder who has been the big stick of the Orioles since the start of the American League season. He’s back swinging that stick again after being sidelined with a wrist injury Aug. 20 to make it that much tougher for either the Chicago White Sox or New York Yankees to steal the flag. Powell has played in four games since returning to the lineup Sept. 6 and the figures speak for themselves. He's made seven hits in 13 at bats, smashed three homers and knocked in five runs. Result: The Orioles have won three of the four games. Pow-ell represented nearly all the offense the Orioles had Wednesday night when they split a doubleheader with the Washington Senators — winning 6-3 and losing 4-3 — to pick up a half-game on both pursuers. They are now a full game ahead of the White Sox and I’i games ahead of the Yankees. Powell hit a pair of two-run, 400-foot homers in the first game, driving in four runs and pacing Dave McNally to his eighth win of the season and he had three singles in the second game before ex-Oriole Willie Kirkland broke it up with a ninth-inning homer. Steve Barber, who struck out 13 batters,

suffered his 13th loss in the nightcap as Claude Osteen limited the Orioles to seven hits in winning his 13th game. With his .538 batting average since returning to the lineup, Powell has increased his homer total to 34 and his runs batted in total to 85. The Minnesota Twins topped the White Sox 5-2, the Detroit Tigers blanked the Yankees 40. and the Boston Red Sox edged out the Cleveland Indians 6-5 in innings in the other AL action.

Improved Condition NEW YORK UPI — The condition of Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, retired dean of American horse trainers, remained satisfactory today at Physicians Hospital. Fitzsimmons, who celebrated his 90th birthday two months ago, underwent two-hour operation for a ruptured appendix and strangulated hernia Tuesday.

Phillies First Sacker Is Out PHILADELPHIA UPI — A disconsolate Frank Thomas stared numbly at his sore thumb which stood out like a sore thumb and muttered: “It's just not in the books.” That was the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman’s reply to when he would be back in action with the National League leaders. There was woe reflected in every line of his face. The right thumb was broken, a, clean crack near the base. The X-rays said so. Dr. John Royal Moore at Temple University Hospital said so. And Thomas, plunging his artn up to I the elbow in a tub of ice, said I so. He had no other choice. It's broken, and nothing we can say will change it,” Thomas said in soft bitterness. The injury, a blow' to the pennant-hungry Phillies, came in the fourth inning of Tuesday's game with Los Angeles. Thomas was on second base | w'hen Alex Johnson rapped I sharply to Maury Wills, who 1 put the tag on Thomas scram- : bling back to second. The) thumb was jammed and the break w r as discovered at the hospital Wednesday. It came when Thomas was fattening both himself and the Phillies after an illness-plagued early season with the New' York Mets. A glandular infec- | tion and an arm injury kept t I him out of the New' York line-

i up for weeks.

Then he came to the Phils on Aug. 6 in a complicated trade for righthanded batting power to overcome the lefthanded pitching which had the Phils i runs and 10 doubles, batted in reeling He hit seven home runs. The Phils were 19-20 against southpaws when he joined the club. They wmn seven and lost four against lefties until he was hurt. The Phils obtained Vic Pow'er. righthanded hitting, slick I fielding first baseman of the} Los Angeles Angels to replace Thomas. They bought the Puerto Rican-born Power for a price j they said was in excess of the i waiver tag and an undisclosed player to be announced on or

before Oct. 15.

,NE OF THE greatest, most-likely-to-endure songs by W the Brothers Gershwin was ‘‘Embraceable You”—especially as sung by the one and only Lena Horne. Recalli Lyricist Ira Gershwin, “This song was my father’s favorite, too. Whenever possible, with company present, he would steer George to the piano and command, ‘Play that song about ME.’ And when the line ‘Come to papa—come to papa—do!’ was sung, he would thump his chest, look around the room, and beam.”
