Indians whip Orioles; Adcock sent to showers
LITTLE LEAGUE CHAMPS — Little League Champions in GreeucasMe this year with a 12-2 season record were the Coan Pharmacy sponsored White Sox. The squad is pictured above with their team manager. The boys are (froa^ row, left to right) Marvin Douglas, Stacy Spencer, Randy Jones, Rick Wokoun, Richard Hall, Tony Fenwick,
Billy Earl, (back row) Manager Ernie Cook, Steve Latchford, Doug Wokoun, Bruce Coyner, Terry Maurer and Jay Stevens. Duncan Burkhardt and Jerry Shonkwiler were players not present for the picture, along with coaches Joe Litchford and Marvin Douglas.
Cleveland manager Joe Adcock had every reason to be happy. The Indians had just scored a pair of runs in the ninth inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3, and no one could blame the husky manager if he wore a big smile. But Adcock’s face was red with anger. “It’s a terrible thing, trying to win ball games when a man like Emmett Ashford is umpiring,” he snapped. ‘‘He’s not fit to work in this league. This is the second time he could have cost us a victory this week,” continued Adcock, who was ejected from the game in the ninth inning. “He didn’t even have the nerve to throw me out while 1 was on the field. He kicked me out after I got to the dugout.” Adcok’s bitter remarKs stemmed from a series of rhubarbs in the game’s last two innings. With Cleveland leading 3-1 in the eighth, Luis Aparicio walked, bringing Frank Robinson to the plate. Cleveland lefthander Ed Connolly’s pitch appeared to hit Robinson and he trotted to first, and Aparicio took second. Ashford, the plate umpire, then conferred with first base tunpire John Flaherty and, after examining Robinson’s hand, ruled the pitch had not struck him. Play resumed, but Aparicio remained at second, despite protests from the entire Cleveland infield. Ashford ruled the pitch to Robinson was a ball and since time had not been called, Aparicio was entitled to advance. After a 10-minute argument, with Oriole manager Hank Bauer contending Robinson had
been hit and Adcock claiming Aparicio should return to first. Play was finally resumed with Aparicio on second. Robinson then lined the next pitch into the left field bleachers for his first home run since June 21 to tie the game at 3-3. *T didn’t call the pitch anything,” explained Ashford. “After conferring with Flaherty,
we decided it was a ball and Aparicio was entitled to second.” The Indians eventually won the game in the ninth when Larry Brown scored from third on Boog Powell’s error. Elsewhere in the American League, Chicago beat Detroit 64 after losing 2-1, Minnesota edged Washington 3-2, Boston

In National League action, Philadelphia nipped San Francisco 5-4 in 10 innings, Chicago downed Pittsburgh 8-4, Cincinnati blanked Houston 3-2 in 11 innings and Los Angeles defeated St. Louis 6-2. Don Buford dashed home from second with the deciding run when Dick McAuliffe booted Ken Boyers two-out grounder in the 10th inning to give the White Sox a split with Detroit. The Tigers had taken the opener, also a 10-inning affalr v when McAuliffe scored from third on J. C. Martin’s passed ball. Rich Rollins homered with two out in the eighth inning to give the Twins a victory over the Senators and move them into second place, one percentage point ahead of Boston. Rollins homered off reliever Dave Baldwin, who struck out the four previous batters. Norm Siebem’s two-out, tworun single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning snapped a 4-4 tie and gave the Red Sox a split of their doubleheader with the Athletics. Danny Cater and Ken Harrelson drove in two runs each and Jim Hunter had two hits and drove in a run as the A’s took the opener. Bill Monbouquette pitched seven innings of shutout relief and Tom Tresh accounted for the game’s only run with a first-inning single as the Yankees trimmed the Angels. Monbouquette entered the game in the third inning after starter Fred Talbot injured his wrist.

Rick Barry may sit out 1967-68 season
SAN FRANCISCO UPI—Figure on Rick Barry, one of the game’s top players, sitting out the 1967-68 season and the new American Basketball Association getting off the ground without a single National Basketball Association player on Its roster. Barry lost out in his bid to jump from the NBA San Frai-

I cisco Warriors to the ABA Oakland Oaks Tuesday when a San Francisco Superior Court judge upheld the older circuit’s conrtoversial option clause. As a result, Barry, who led the NBA in scoring last season with 2,775 points, must either play out his option with the Warriors or sit at home. His chances of playing with the Warriors seem slim since his presence on the team as a “lame duck” would create an awkward and embarrassing situation. Also, if he decides to come back, the possibility exists that the Warriors would trade him. But under the circumstances. which NBA club would want him — for just one year? Thus it seems apparent that he will stay at home in Oakland and serve the Oaks in a promotional capacity. Because of the court ruling his three-year $75,-000-per-year contract with the Oaks, which he signed last June 20, now is put off until Oct. 1, 1968. Barry always could appeal Judge Robert J. Drewes’ decision — actually a temporary in-

junction restraining him from playing for anyone else except the Warriors — but the appeal process is slow and the 1967-68 season would be nearly over by the time his case got on a court calendar. Judge Drewes, in upholding the contract, said Barry was fully aware of the option clause in his NBA pact when he signed with the Warriors. “There can be no doubt,” said Drewers, “that defendant (Barry) deliberately breached his solemn contractural obligation to play for the plaintiff (Warriors), and the court so finds.”
Equipment will be issued Friday Football equipment will be issued Friday evening at 6:30 pm. to all high school boys interested in playing football, according to Greencastle head football coach Bob Bergman. The issuance of equipment includes freshman through seniors only. Insurance slips and physical forms will also be collected at the meeting. Any boy who does not have a physical or insurance form can obtain one from the principal’s office anytime this week. Bergman commented that examinations by doctors should be completed by Friday so that all physical slips can be col-
lected.
Mouth guards will be fitted at a cost of seventy-five cents for each boy.
The decision had far reaching consequences since it in effect upheld the legality of pro football and pro hockey option clauses as well. Warrior owner Franklin Mieuli and one of his attorneys, Richard Archer, saw it that way anyway. “This is an historic day for all of us (club owners) in sports,” said Mieuli. “This was a decision that had to be made one way or the other,” said Archer. “Naturally, I’m glad it went the way It did.” Barry, at his parents’ home in Roselle Park, N.J., said he was undecided at the moment about what he would do, although Bruce Hale, his father-in-law and head coach-general manager of the Oakland Oaks, said there would be no appeal of Judge Drewes’ decision. “I’ll have to play with San Francisco or sit it out,” said Barry, “but I just don’t know what Til do.”
Quarterback Jim Ninowski, who once threatened to quit pro football because "you get tired of being tossed around like a toy,” had an old idol for a new boss today in Washington. Ninowski, a holdout this season, was sent to the Washington Redskins by popular acclaim on the part of Cleveland owner Art Modell Tuesday in a trade that sent the Redskins’ No. 2 quarterback Dick Shiner to the Browns. The Redskins see action tonight against the visiting Chicago Bears which kicks off the week’s exhibition activity. George Halas starts his 40th National Football League season as Bears coach and arrives in Washington with 1966’s leading rusher, Gale Sayers, and a new quarterback, Jack Concannon who was obtained from the Philadelphia Eagles for tight end Mike Ditka. Washington coach Otto Graham, one of the all-time quarterback greats in pro football when he performed for Clevelands, was reluctant to let

Heavy practice planned today INDIANAPOLIS UPI —With time running out before Saturday night’s Indiana Shrine Bow! football game here, tiie two participating teams of high school all-stars planned heavy practice sessions today. Both coaches, Dick Young of the North and Red Faught of the South, planned full-scale scrimmages among today’e three workouts for each team. In a similar scrimmage Tuesday at Anderson, the North’* first team beat the second string 12-0 with Bob Belei of Gary Wallace am’ Willard Rica of Kokomo scoring the touchdowns. In a scrimmage at Franklin, South quarterback Willie Lenzy of Indianapolis Howe threw a pair of touchdown passes but a tough defensive unit kept the pressure on him throughout the workout. Jim Esters of Evansville Central intercepted ons pass and knocked down five others. Young devoted part of Tuesday’s workout to an effort to try to develop a punter for Saturday night’s clash. Guard John Puntillo of Highland appeared the likely choice.
NEW SPORT NEW YORK UPI — Danny Whalen, 49, who served as trainer ■with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1959 through 1966, was named to a similar capacity with the New’ York Knickerbockers of the National Basketball Association.
