DENNIS DALE MCLAIN wants to be the best pitcher in the American League, and may be, could make a living as an organ player, and does, and already is on the staff of a pubUc^ationsinan^ause he drinks so much of the stuff. Denny, who’s a righthander and the Detroit Tigers’ leading pitcher last year, is a professional organist in Detroit in the off season, also gives lessons, and only recently spent a night off from pitching by joining the Tiger Stadium organist in knocking off a few tunes. Once he played the organ for a midnight mass in church. As a pitcher, he won 18 and lost 6 and struck out 192 batters in 220 innings last year and already has a fine start this season toward a better year. And, to make things interesting, he has built up, through an interview with a Detroit writer, a feud with Sam McDowell, the Indians’ fireballing southpaw, as to which is the best young pitcher in baseball. Denny comes out of Chicago where he was born 22 years ago and has been in baseball since he was signed out of Mt. Carmel High for a fl5,000 bonus by the White Sox. He drew attention in his first start as a pro, for he pitched a no-hitter for Harlan. Later, making his first start as a Tiger he not only beat the White Sox but hit a home run in his first appearance at the plate. He also has drawn attention because he Is married to Lou Boudreau’s daughter, Sharyn, having met her at a banquet honoring Danny and other Babe Ruth League players in Harvey, HI., back in 1959, a banquet at which Lou was the principal speaker. • • • THE TIGERS got McLain in April, 1963, for $8,000 on first year waivers after Denny had pitched for Harlan and Clinton in his first season. He was with Harlan only two games and then went to Clinton where he was 5-8, still only a 17-year-old. The Tigers sent him to Duluth and Knoxville in 1963 where he won 18 and lost 6 and one night struck out 16 batters while pitching for Knoxville. At the end of the season he pitched in three games for the Tigers and won two of them. He split the season in 1964 with Syracuse and Detroit, being 4-5 with the Tigers in 19 games. Last year he really developed and much of his success was due to the acquisition of a curve, taught him by manager Charlie Dressen. In high school Denny was a pitcher and a shortstop, but a much better pitcher. His record was 38-7 including a 12-1 senior year. Married in 1963, Denny and Sharyn have one child, Kristin Dawn, born last September.

Indians Win PHOENIX, Ariz. UPI—Indianapolis starter Fred Klages hurled a four-hitter, backed by a 12-hit attack, to give the Indians a 4-1 Pacific Coast League victory over Phoenix Wednesday night. Klages walked two and struck out five, yielding the Giants’ only run with two out in the sixth inning when Frank Johnson doubled and Ken Henderson singled him home. Indianapolis moved out to a 1-0 advantage in the opening frame on singles by Marv Staehle and Jim Hicks, and added another run in the second when Len Johnston’s single scored Dick Kenworthy, who had tripled. A walk to Ramon Conde and singles by Marty Richardson, Johnston and Klages completed the Indians’ scoring in the ninth.

St Joseph's and Ball State Gain Four Places Each on AII-ICC Team

Fifteen players — four each from St Joseph’s and Ball State—have been placed on the 1966 Indiana Collegiate Conference all-star baseball team. Two of them—Larry Shade of Butler and Randy Miller of Indiana State—were repeaters from 1965, but five other holdovers were squeezed off the current all-ICC team in the tight balloting. None of the current squad was unanimous, but the most consistent vote getters were Ball State’s Homer Jackson, named second baseman, and Frank Houk, picked by head

coaches as all-conference shortstop. Both were picked for their places by five out of seven coaches. Ironically, in balloting conducted independently the two also tied for most valuable player honors, where 13 players received votes. Houk was seventh in IOC hitting with .375 (15 of 40). Jackson shared the league-lead in triples and was fifth in RBI’s. Hie balance of the all-ICC infield includes St. Joseph’s first baseman Randy Traugh, a .375 hitter; third baseman Shade, who was seventh in runs

Ward's Records May Never Be Broken

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Rod ger Ward, who Tuesday night announced his retirement from auto racing, holds a number of 500-mile speedway records that may never be equalled. He is the only driver to com plete 200 laps six consecutive years, from 1959 when he won the first of his two races here through 1964. He started in 14 consecutive holiday classic, missing in 1965 when he failed to qualify. But he was a first-day qualifier this year, only to be eliminated with handling problems after 74 laps. He was awarded 15th position. During the six-year span in which he went the distance, he never finished worse than fourth. He has also taken more money from the Speedway than any other driver, more than $400,000. But his final Speedway earnings totaled only $11,857. Ward captured 26 major bigcar events during his racing career and twice won the USAC national championship.

scored; and St. Joseph’s catcher Tom Crowley. Pat Manley of Ball State and Russell Steinbeck of Valparaiso were outright picks for two outfield spots, but the coaches deadlocked on the third spot, therefore, was shared between Mark Woolwine of St. Joe and Miller of Indiana State. Virtually the same thing developed in the pitching department where three throwers were to be chosen. Clearcut choices were Valparaiso’s 4-1 John Miklos and Ball State’s 3-2 Jim Frank. The duo was 1-2 in ICC ERA statistics with 1.00 and 1.52, respectively. The third slot, where a tie arose, was shared by Indiana State’s Andrew Thomas and Robert Warren, Butler’s Dave Crawford, and St Joseph’s Jim O’Loughlin. Coach Paul Wolf, leading Indiana State into a 9-3 co-cham-pionship on the last day of the season, was elected by his col leagues a s coach-of-the-year. Wolf won the same honor in 1964 when his team also tied for the diamond crown. Newcomer Dick Pawlow, who directed his St. Joseph’s team to a tie for third place, was second in the coach-of-the-year balloting. Larry Shade and Tom Crowley finished behind Houk and Jackson in most valuable player elections. Honorable mention this year was won by a half dozen athletes, all of them but one from Indiana State. They were Alan Buell, Indi ana State, first base; Rick Kingston, Evansville, second base; John Smith, Indiana State, shortstop; Mike Phillips, Indiana State, third base; Mike Harlan, Indiana State, outfield; and Steve Hollenbeck, Indiana State, catcher.

Indy Driver Has Date With Lady INDIANAPOLIS UPI— Race driver Gordon Johncock, fourth place finisher in this year’s In-

Gordon Johncock dianapolis 500-mile auto race, has a date “in a day or two” with Agnes Mitchell. Johncock has been putting off his date with Agnes since last Saturday. And stalling Agnes Mitchell is serious business around here. Agnes Mitchell is Cicero’s justice of the peace. Gordon Johncock’s date with her is a court date. He was arrested for doing 90 in a 60-mile-per-hour zone near here May 21. Johncock was ordered to appear before Mrs. Mitchell last Saturday. But preparations for the “500” kept him busy that day. Mrs. Mitchell was not pleased. She threatened to issue a warrant for his arrest. But Johncock smoothed things over Monday night after the race. Mrs. Mitchell said he called and told her “he was too busy to get here but would come in a day or two.”

Jimmy Brown of the Cleveland Browns was an outstanding football, track, lacrosse and basketball player while an undergraduate at Syracuse University.
