Fillmore Little League Championship Game Is Held Saturday Afternoon

In spite of the hot and humid ! weather the Fillmore Little | Leagueere battled it out for the championship of the 1965 Little League Saturday evening as the undefeated White Sox vested the Yankees 7-1.

The White Sox started things off in the first inning of play by scoring three quick runs. Sears got the ball rolling stealing home on a wild pitch. After Hanks had drawn a base on balls Jeff Saunders plowed into

a fast ball to drive in two more runs. The first inning ended with the ill-fated Yanks down 3-0. First man to score for the Yankees was Carmen who stirred the dust when he stole

home plate. The Yanks failed to produce any more runs the remainder of the game. But the White Sox were not through proving their championship form as David Sears slugged a home run in the bot-

tom of the third. Then again it was Sears who blasted a double to drive in Ready in the bottom of the fifth. Hanks stole home and the White Sox held cornman 7-1.

State's Top Lady Golfers Tee Off MUNCIE, Ind. UPI — Most of the state’s top women golfers are teeing off on their qualification rounds today for the state amateur women’s crown at the Delaware Country Club course. A full field of 144 women are expected to try to upset 16-year-old defending champion Claudia Mayhew of Carmel. The only golfer to ever hold the state amateur, the women’s junior and the Indianapolis city titles at the same time, Miss Mayhew is the pre-tourney favorite. The field will be narrowed to 16 following the 18-hole qualification rounds today, and match play will begin Tuesday and continue through Friday. Three of the state's all-time great women golfers will be missing from the field this year. They are Mrs. Paul Dye Jr., Mrs. Jason Weiss, and Mrs. C. Richard Fulmer, all of Indianapolis. Miss Mayhew’s biggest competition is expected to come from Carmen Piasecki of South Bend, another 16-year-old. She was edged out twice last year

in final matches of the women’s state and the junior state by Miss Mayhew. Although almost old by comparison, 25-year-old Mrs. Mi-

chael Armington of Anderson must also be considered a definite contender. She won tha state women’s amateur title in 1958 and 1963.

Mario Andretti Takes 1st As Foyt Runs Out Of Gas

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Ital-ian-born Mario Andretti of Nazareth, Penn., who won his first road race while still a teenager in Italy, Sunday passed A. J. Foyt of Houston, Tex., on the final lap to win the Hoosier Grand Prix at Indianapolis Raceway Park. The 1965 “Rookie of the Year" at the Indianapolis “500" grabbed the lead from the former four-time national driving champion when Foyt ran out of gas. The race, the first U. S. Auto Club championship event ever run on a road course, was marred by a number of spinouts, but the only serious mishap of the day came when Norm Hall of Los Angeles. Cal., flipped into a guard rail on the 34th lap. Hall was taken to Methodist Hospital at Indian-

apolis where he underwent surgery on his right foot, and he w r as listed in “fair" condition. Andretti gunned his rearengine Ford-pow’ered machine into the lead at the start of the 150-mile event over the 1.8 mile course, but lost his lead to Foyt following a restart on the 11th lap. The lead then see-sawed several times between Foyt and Andretti untill Foyt regained it on the 64th lap of the 80-lap affair. True to the luck wdiieh has plagued the once-unbeatable champion though. Foyt ran out of gas on the 79th lap. allowing Andretti to pass him. Bobby Unser of Albuquerque, N. M., roared home second, Roger McCluskey of Tucson, Ariz., grabbed third, and Foyt coasted home fourth.

Casey Stengel To Undergo Surgery On Fractured Left Hip; Still Has Humor

By MILTON RICHMAX I PI Sports Writer NEW YORK UPI — Trust Casey Stengel to supply a laugh even when they're wheeling him off on a stretcher.

The two men bearing the stretcher inadvertently tipped it so that Casey's head suddenly flew up in the air and maybe another 74-year-old being taken to the hospital might have panicked. Not Stengel, though. ^

“How do you like this boys,” pipped up the incredible, gnomish Mets’ manager. “I m an aviator!” Casey, W’ho now’ faces an operation for a fractured left hip, w’as much more than that Saturday night as he argued, joked and bantered for hours with the men he knows best. These were the ball players of his era. 'They had played, or more correctly, tried to play a two-inning Old Timers’ Game at Shea Stadium earlier that day and now they were gathered for a nostalgic get-to- i gether at a local midtown restaurant. There were a few speeches, the usual wise-cracks and any number of friendly barbs. Stengel loved every moment of it. At 2 A.M., after everyone else had left, Casey and Hall of Famer Frankie Frisch were still hotly debating over who w’as the best second baseman they ever saw’. Must Arrive Early Maybe they got that settled and maybe they didn’t, but an hour - and - a - half later, after even most of the hired help,

had left, Joe Degregorio, the amiable, good-natured comptroller of the Mets, came up with a suggestion. “Casey, it’s getting late," he said. “I live eight minutes from Shea Stadium and I have an extra bed in my house. Why not sleep there? In that way you'll get an extra hour’s rest and you can be at the ball park earlier. The suggestion made a lot of sense. Stengel wanted to be at the park early because they wre going to honor him, five days in advance, for his 75th birthday. “Good," he told Degregoria. “Let’s go.” Degregorio drove home and showed Casey to the guest room where he promptly fell asleep. It was 8:15 Sunday morning W’hen Stengel called out from the room to Degregario. “Joe, I don’t feel good." he said. “I got a pain in my leg. Something is wrong. I can t get up. Degregorio summoned his wife, Erne, then put in a telephoiM call to team trainer Gus

Mauch at his hotel apartment in the Bronx and asked him to come quickly. Casey In Pain Meanw’hile, Mrs. Degregorio did what she could to help Casey. She applied a cold, damp handkerchief to his forehead and fixed him some orange juice and coffee. Mauch arrived after nine and tried massaging Stengel’s leg. “I gotta pain there," said Casey, w’ho was unable to walk. Mauch then phoned team physician Dr. Peter Lamotte at his home in New’ Rochelle and Lamotte arrived w’ithin a half hour. He examined Stengel and said: “We’re going to have to take X rays, Casey. We have to take you to the hospital.” “Gee, that’s too bad," replied the Mets’ manager. “I’m gonna disappoint all those nice, amazing Met fans. They’re giving me a birthday party.” An ambulance was summoned and arrived shortly thereafter. It was while he was being removed to the ambulance on a stretcher that Casey joked about being an aviator. Even though he was in the hospital at the time, Stengel was honored between games of a doubleheader with the Philjies at Shea Stadium Sunday.

By GEORGE C. LANGFORD United Press International Maury Wills’ brain is as agile as his flying feet—which is a good explanation why he is speeding toward a stolen base record that could exceed 125. The master thief of the Los Angeles Dodgers attributes his remarkable record of 67 steals in 97 games played this.season to two things: —More extensive_study of. opposing pitchers, and - -—Freedom from injury. The little Dodger shortstop has hit safely in his last 18 games batting .463 in the span and has stolen 18 bases. At that incredible pace, Wills could finish with 129 thefts this season, eclipsing by 25 his own major league mark set in 1962. Even at his over-all pacewhich is 26 games ahead of his 1962 rate - Wills w’ould steal 110. But in August and September of his banner season, Wills pilfered almost half — 49 of his

104.

Should he finish this year

| with the same flourish, the to-

; tal would reach 120. Steals Two Bases

Wills stole two more bases Sunday, collected tw r o hits and scored a run as Los Angeles broke its four-game losing streak with a 5-1 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Cincinnati downed Houston 311, San Francisco tripped Milwaukee 2-1, Pittsburgh edged Chicago 3-2 in 13 innings then lost the second game of a doubleheader to the Cubs 5-0 and New York upset Philadelphia 8-1 before losing the nightcap to the Phils 3-1, in other Na-

tional League action.

Minnesota increased its American League lead to 3 1 - games with an 8-5 decision over Baltimore, Chicago hammered Detroit 10-6 in the first of two, then the Tigers pounded out a 13-2 verdict in the nightcap. New York blanked Cleveland 3-0 in the opener, and the Indians gained a split with a 7-4 victory in the nightcap, Kansas City beat Washington 5-3 after

losing to the Senators 4-3 and Boston nipped Los Angeles 5-4. Schofield’s Hit Wins Dick Schofield, batting only .212, belted a single to drive in the winning run for the Giants and saddle the Braves with their third defeat in a row. Don Pavletich doubled home the first Cincinnati run and Leo Cardenas provided the decisive tally with a two-run double in the ninth. Bill Faul limited the Pirates to three hits and Billy Williams and Ron Santo each hit home runs for the Cubs’ nightcap triumph after Del Crandall’s two out 13th inning home run carried Pittsburgh to victory in the first game. Chuck Hiller's error gave the Phillies two unearned runs off loser A1 Jackson to decide the second game and Ray Culp limited the Mets to five hits, leveling his record at 6-6. The Mets scored five runs- in the second inning of the opener off loser Bo Belinsky.
