The Greencastle Babe Ruth League All-Stars battled the Terre Haute Americans to a 5-0 defeat last Thursday. The score is not indicative of the * game, as it was close in every * department. The Americans, who are composed of the former Little League All-Stars, who •» played in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, , Pennsylvania a few years ago, * have put together a very good ’ squad. They defeated Clinton ^ for the District 16 champion1 ship by a score of 10-1. Dee Monnett limited the Terre , Haute team to only seven hits * and two of those were questionable. The local boys had t a tough time with hard throw- , ing Mike Gallagher, who is one of the fastest pitchers in this area. * Tom Clary and Pete Norris j did manage a hit apeice while ‘ Tern,' Rass really solved his former batting difficulty with - ' two singles. Here are the Greencastle batting results: Jay Frye, 3B 4 0 0 Dee Monnett, P 4 0 0 Pete Norris. LF 4 0 1 David Hill, CF 3 0 0 Tom Clary. SS 2 0 1 Chuck Evens, C 2 0 0 Dennis Losin. LF 0 0 0 Terry Ross. TB 3 0 0 Terry Rors, IB 3 0 2 Jon Edmonds. 2B 2 0 0 ^Kevin See, RF 2 0 0 * Totals 26 0 4 The coaching staff of the AllStars were Wayne Mark, whose Legion team is in first place in
{ league place, Julius Edmonds, who is coach of the Moose and Gleen Monnett, also of the Moose who handled the statistics department. Ed Hammond, who is the Kiwanis coach, helped schedule the practice games, the stars played, and over-all assistance was given by Steve and Darryl Brackney of the Elks. These gentlemen did a terrific job at working with the hoys and deserve a lot of credit.

Beatty's Death End of Era
VENTURA, Calif. UPI — Clyde Beatty’s death has closed another chapter in the America that was, but is no more.
CLYDE BEATTY.
To a youngster in any of a thousand hamlets of this vast country in the 1930s, the name Clyde Beatty alons conjured stirrings of adventure and mental pictures of such exotic places as Africa, India and the jungles of South America. Without the hypnotic lure of television, the young of that depression - scarred era lived in a world half-imagined - Clyde Clyde Beatty ... a man in riding breeches and pith helmet with a pistol at his side and a whip and chair in either hand facing up to a snarling lion... The picture is as fresh as ever. But with the death of Beatty, ■ 62, from cancer of the esophagus in Memorial Community Hospital, a little of the America that was died, too. Services for Beatty were scheduled for Thursday morning.
Mele Goes To Game as Spectator
MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL UPI — Sam Mele watched Monr’vy’s game with Los Angeles from a private box high above Metropolitan Stadium. Mele, manager of the American League-leading Minnesota Twins, will probably follow the same schedule until he’s back : in uniform July 24. Coach Hal i Naragon is handling the club during his absence. Usually a mild - mannered man. Mele got the heave-ho in Sunday’s first game of a doubleheader with Los Angeles after he became engaged in a push-
ing contest with umpire Bill Valentine. American League President Joe Cronin fined Mele $500 and suspended him for five days. Mele told newsmen he believed Cronin’s ruling w r as unfair. Valentine didn't even give me a chance to say anything.” Mele said. "Then he started poking his finger in my face. No umpire can do that to me.” Mele was chased in the sixth inning when he raced out to protest a safe call by Valentine on a slow roller by Los Angeles
shortstop Jim Fregosi. "Valentine threw me out about the time I got to him,” Mele said. “I did use a few choice words after that and there was some pushing around. But remember, I got pushed, too.” Mele bolted from the dugout w’hen Valentine took off his cap and told second baseman Rich Rollins to get back to his position. "He didn’t even give Rollins a chance to protest," Mele said. "The least he could do was give Rollins his say.”
NATIONAL LEAGUE HOTRODS
Johnson, Willis Are Standouts
TENSE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY—Dr. Sam Sheppard and wife Ariane celebrate their first wedding anniversary at a pool near Cleveland as he waits for results of last-ditch legal maneuvers to avoid going back to prison and a life sentence in the murder of his first wife Marilyn.
By GEORGE C. LANGFORD Those two hot rods on the National League track are Ken Johnson, who is steering a new course, and Maury Wills, who merely shifted gears. Johnson Is the ill-starred -right-hander who pitched and lost a no-hitter against Cincinnati on April 23, 1964, and dropped more frustrating onerun decisions in three years p with Houston than he cares to remember. The knuckleballer was traded by the Astros to Milwaukee on May 23 and since then has been about the most consistent pitcher one the Braves staff, winning seven, losing only two with an earned run average of 2.79. Sensational Display Willis, the mercurial Dodger shortstop, has been putting on a fantastic display of base thievery all season, but In the last 12 games he has been little short of Lensational. During the span. Wills has stolen 13 bases and raised his batting average from .256 to .290, hitting a torrid .481. Johnson hurled the first shutout for a Milwaukee pitcher this season, winning his fourth straight with a 6-0 triumph over the New York Mets Monday night, while Wills tripled home two runs and scored another to lead Los Angeles to an
8-3 decision over Houston. In other National League games, Chicago stopped San Francisco 6-2, Pittsburgh held off Cincinnati 3-1 and Philadephia toppled St. Louis 5-2. Minnesota, the American League leader, defeated the Loe Angeles Angels 5-2, Kansas City defeated the Chicago White Sox 6-3, Cleveland blanked Baltimore 5-0, Boston tripped New York 3-1 and Washington white-washed Detroit 8-0 in AL action. Seventh In Row The win was the seventh in a row for the Braves and boosted them into third place. Johnson drove in two runs with a double and a squeeze bunt and home runs by Felipe Alou, Hank Aaron. Eddie Mathews and Joe Torre accounted for the other Milwaukee tallies. Johnson’s over-all mark this season is 10-4 and since coming to Milwaukee he has lowered his e.a.r. from 4.15 to 3.30. He hasn’t walked a batter in the last 22 innings. Wills' triple came in the midst of a five-run uprising by the Dodgers in the sixth inning that broke a 3-3 tie and enabled them to win their fifth straight and move 2 4 games ahead of Cincinnati. Don Drysdale scattered nine hits to pick up his 15th victory against eight defeats. Maury also stole his 62nd
base of the season to rocket 28 games ahead of his 1962 pace when he se‘ the modern record of 104 thefts. It marked the sixth stn ight game in which he h; 3 swiped a base. Breaks Losing Streak Pittsburgh's Vernon Law broke a personal four-game losing streak by holding the Reds to six hits. Dona Clendenonn hit his ninth homer for the Pirates and Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski each chipped in with two hits and an r.b.l. off loser Joe Nuxhall. Tommy Harper homered for the Reds’ only run. Chris Short won his 11th game, scattering seven hits and fanning Bill White with the bases loaded In the ninth Inning to preserve Philadelphia’s triumph over the Cardinals. Alex Johnson smashed a tworun homer off loser Ray Washbum 5-7 and Dick Stuart drove in two more with a single and a sacrifice fly. Ted Abernathy came to Dick Ellsworth’s rescue with two on and none out ’ i the ninth inning at San Francisco and retired three batters in a row to save Chicago's victory and snap the Cubs five-game skid. The triumph was the 11th for Ellsworth, who also tripled to drive in two runs. Billy Williams homered for the Cubs and Ed Bailey drove across two runs against his former mates. Jack Sanford was the loser.

Everett Case In Grave Condition RALEIGH, N. C. UPI — Evj erett N. Case, the ex-Hoosier | who brought big time basketball to North Carolina, lay gravely ill in a Raleigh hospital today.
The former North Carolina State and Logansport, Ind., High School coach underwent a two and a half hour operation Monday ight to relieve press ^ on his spinal cord. Doctors said the pressure was ca”sing him to lose control of his legs. Following the operation, doctors said “he tolerated the surgery very well, and it did relieve the pressure on his spinal cord,” they said. “His condition is grave, however, and is subject to all kinds ! of complications after this typ e of operation,” they added. The operation gave the 65-year-old Case a possible chance | to regain the use of his legs. ! Without the operation, doctors said Case would hrve lost complete control of his legs. They indicated there was only a slight chance of him regaining control of his legs even with the operation. Case, who stepped down as Wolfpack mentor after the first game of the season last Dec. 8. has v "en suffering from a bone disease called nr loma for the p^nt year and a half. He gave as his primary reason for retiring his declining health.

What does the American FINAL/FILTER' really do? Automotive engineers know-they asked for it and American Oil Research developed it to stand between you and trouble. You see. all gasolines pick up tiny impurities in transit and in storage. These impurities, should they get in your gasoline tank, could clog up the fuel line filter and stop you cold. The American FINAL/FILTER blocks out contaminants right at the pump nozzle. If you use your car on the job (and even if you don't) you stay out of trouble when you "fill er up filtered" with American. Regular or American. Super-Premium.
