rs Defeat L&R Nine mpionship Opener, 8-1 ight's Game To Be 90 Turn Out For Football At Local High Schools ™ ral Hall, 6:15 Oscar's tavern moved out in front by one game in the City Softball playoff championship series last night when they defeated the L & R Hardware nine, 8-1 on the State Hospital Diamond. Malcolm "Mac" MacGregor pitched three hit ball for the winners and made several fine fielding plays to stop L&R threats. Buster Stuber who very effectively ^pitched the Hardware boys into the finals of the softball league, was plagued with wildness. On one occasion in the bottom half of the first inning, Stuber .walked four straight men. Oscar's crossed home plate with five big runs in the first inning. Stuber settled after the first and pitched himself out of sev- eral tight pinches without al- lowing a run to score. The L & R lone run came in the third inning with one out. Joe Gebo hit a high fly ball into short right field and both "Corky" Fredericks who was playing second base and Buck Doe, the right fielder went after it. Apparently neither heard the other call for it and Fredericks dropped the ball after getting his hand on it. The two men just missed colliding. Gebo, -who had already rounded first, went into second and the two base error was charged to Fredericks. Pete Cole, the pint sized L&R shortstop followed Gebo with a single scoring him from second. Cole was called out at first by Umpire Don Dubeau for leaving the base before the pitch left the pitchers hand. Doe was put out in the second inning for the same violation. Lionel Demers, the L & R catcher, flew out to Fredericks at second to end the third in- ning. Ernie Jeneault, the fleet foot- ed L & R centerfielder, got two of the Hardware boys' three hits. Cole got the third hit. The heavy batter for the winners were old faithful Jim Ward, who went three for three; Hec- tor Demers, two for four, and Corky "the Sleeve" Fredericks, clouted a Stuber pitch over the head of rightfielder Bob Breen in the sixth inning for a solo home run. Demers and Freder- icks each scored two runs for the Tavern nine. Tonight's game will be played on the Floral Hall dia- mond, weather permitting. If it rains today and clears be- fore game time, the game will be returned to the State Hos- pital to be played because the Floral Hall diamond takes too long to dry off after a rain. Most of the hospital di- amond is grass and therefore can take a lot of rain. Fred Erwin, Recreation Di- rector at the St. Lawrence State Hospital publicly thanked Alton Elliott, City Recreation Direc- tor, members of the recreation commission, managers, spon- sors and players for the fine softball they have seen at the hospital this summer. In thank- ing the various groups, Mr. Er- win pointed out that the sports- manship on the hospital dia- mond had been tops. Mr. Erwin installed the hos- pital loud speaker system in the grandstand so that the game could be announced and the fans would know who was hit- ting. Each of the games, will be announced over the hospital's speaker system. Fred Shurtleff has graciously consented to do- nate a battery to operate the system at the Floral Hall di- amond. Game tonight will be 6:15 sharp. The umpires for last night's game were Leo Monnet, Don Dubeau and Gerry Ben- nett.

Saints Will pen season Bunning Shuts Out Cliisox As Tigers Win By Ed Wilks Associated Press Sports Writer Add another chapter to the strange career of Jim Bunning, the lean right-hander who was a surprise 20-game winner two years ago, then pitched a no-hit masterpiece—and faded, Tuesday night he shut out Chicago's streaking, first-place White Sox, one of the toughest clubs to blank in the American League, putting them away on three singles and ending their winning string at five as Detroit took a 4-0 victory. It was Bunning's first shutout in 45 starts since July 20, 1958 —the day he no-hit Boston 3-0. It was only the sixth time this season that the White Sox, their edge over rain-idled Cleveland cut to five games, have been held scoreless. Ted Kluszewski had two of the White Sox, hits. Luis Apari- cio had the other as Bunning, now 14-10, bagged his fifth straight victory. Hopper Stars Will Play The third and final game of the Grasshopper International series between the Ogdensburg and the Prescott All Stars will be played tomorrow evening, 5:30, on Fort Field at Prescott. The first game of the best out of three series was played at Prescott and the hosts won, 5-4. Last Sunday Prescott journeyed to Ogdensburg to face the no- hit pitching of Mike St. An- drews. Fred Crownhart's Burg boys won, 1-0. Manager Crownhart hasn't revealed his starting lineup but it is expected that he will go along with the same nine that started Sunday. Anyone, young or old who saw the last game, will tell you that the boys dis- played fine baseball as well as fine sportsmanship. The teams are very even. Any miscue or a break of any nature could mean the difference of winning or losing. The starting lineup for the local nine will be as follows: Chris Newtown (Pagano's), left field: Mike Langstaff, (75 Club) first base; Mike St. Andrews, (Pagano's - ), pitcher; Ken Pat- terson, (Pagano's) Catcher; Jim Hannan, (Buck Club) will play third base. Joe Holzhausen, (Diamond Gardner) shortstop; "Pinky" Pinkerton (Firestone), will play second base. Either Dick Garvey (Rotary) or Don Wilson (Al's) will be in right; field. The left field will be pa- ; trolled by either Dan Fax (No- tre Dame) or Chuck Benson (Phillip's Diner). It also was the Tigers' fifth success in a row, matching their best streak of the year, and re- tained their one-game hold on third place over New York. The Yankees defeated Baltimore 5-0 as Whitey Ford and reliever Ryne Duren combined for a seven-hit shutout. Washington beat Boston 7-4, with Harmon Killebrew regaining a share of the major league home run lead with his 39th. While Bunning continued his spell over the White Sox—He has beaten them four in a row over the past year and nine times out of 10 over five seasons —the Tigers added to their hex over Bob Shaw. The young right-hander, who broke in with Detroit in '57, has beaten every club but the Tigers. Now 14-5 for the season, he's 0-3 against Detroit. The Tigers tagged him for nine of their 12 hits and all their runs in his five innings, giving Bunning the run he needed in the first inning when Larry Osborne singled, Harvey Kuenn doubled and Al Kaline hit a sacrifice fly. Kuenn was 4-for-5, upping his AL leading average five points to .356. Five singles gave the Yan- kees three first-inning runs against loser Jerry Walker. They got their other two against Arnie Portocarrero in the ninth. Ford 14-7 gave up six hits, giving way in the seventh when the Orioles twice loaded the bases. The Birds had three on again in the ninth be- fore Duren put it away. Killebrew's homer, tying Cleveland's Rocky Colavito for the lead, gave the Senators a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. They nailed it with three runs in the eighth, two on Roy Siev- ers' double. Camilo Pascual 13-10 won it with Tex Cleven- ger's relief help. The Nats were outhit 13-8, but collected 11 walks, eight by loser Earl Wil- son 1-1 in 3 1-3 innings. Both Ogdensburg Free Acad- emy and St. Mary's Academy opened their football campaign with initial conditioning drills yesterday. Some 90 boys turned out between the two schools and more are expected. About 50 boys answered the call put out by Head Coach William Plimpton at Ogdens- burg Free Academy. The OFA freshmen will not be called out until next week. St. Mary's Head Coach, Clyde "Cub" Holzhausen put about forty boys through their condi- tioning drills yesterday after- noon at Winter Park. Coach Holzhausen has plenty of work cut out for himself, if he hopes to stop the powerful Mount As- sumption Gridiron eleven when they invade Cooper Fiald on September 20 for the season's opener. The Blue Devils will open their Northern League schedule on September 26 when they play host to John Oliver's Canton Bears. Coach Plimpton will be as- sisted again this year by Wil- liam Powers, Theodore Strat- ford and Ben Cordwell. Coach Powers -will have complete charge of the Junior Varsity squad, but will assist Coach Plimpton with the varsity. The Blue and White mentors have plenty of problems this fall. Last year, the Blue Devils opened the season by losing the first two games to Gouverneur and Canton respectively and then went on to win the last five games of the season. This year they will have to plug a few holes which were made through graduation and trans- fers. Missing from last year's backfield are popular names such as Dick "Chico" Spooner, hard running fullback. Half- backs lost via graduation are Allan Woodward, Jude Lesper- ance, and Dave' Wilson. The biggest blow to the line was the transfer of big Gerry Rocker, first string center and Jack Kelly, a young promising tackle. Joe Tracy, another rug- ged lineman, was also lost by graduation. These are just a few EAGLES OPEN FOOTBALL DRILLS—Coach Clyde "Cub" Holzhausen St. Mary's head foot- ball coach hands pigskin to Captain Mike Val- ley as veterans Jim Fahey, left, and Terry McKee look on.

On the bright side of things, the Blue and White have back their ace signal caller, Steve Munn. Munn may find himself running from halfback this season. We will have more on the Blue Devils as the practice drills progress. Coach Plimpton is holding two drills a day. One in the morning and the second at 31 p.m. He will continue with this program until school starts. The Blue Devils are wasting little time, yesterday afternoon they went through their condi- tioning drills with full uniform. Across the city, Coach Holz- hausen is using a different method in whipping his boys into shape. The Purple and White will run this week without pads. Either late this week or Monday, Coach Holz- hausen Avill put the boys into uniforms. Several of the vet- erans haven't turned out as yet. Some are still on vaca- tion with their families and others are still working on summer jobs. The Purple and White will have to play without the serv- ices of Fred Raymon, hard hit- ting halfback, John Farrand, end and fullback and Tom Jer- mano, halfback. Ron Burns, the Saints ace signal caller last year was also lost through gradua- tion. In the line the Saints lost Ed Mike Hannan, Center Jon New Chance Buffalo, N. Y. (AP) Powerboat race fans are hope- ful America's top hydroplane, Maverick, will get a return chance against Canada's Miss Supertest III Sunday on the Niagara River. A select field of the fish-tail- ed racers, including the Ameri- can and Canadian champions are entered in the Buffalo Launch Club's two-day interna- tional regatta this weekend. Miss Supertest, owned by James G. Thompson of London, Ont, outraced Maverick last Friday in Detroit to win the Harmsworth Trophy for the first time in Canadian history. The trophy is considered one of the top international awards for unlimited hydroplanes. Maverick and her conqueror were entered in last Saturday's Silver Cup event at Detroit, but the northern boat withdrew. Launch club officials here are wondering if the Canadian boat will race this week, but no con- firmation has been received. Maverick, from Lake Mead, Nev., won the Silver Cup and was shipped to Buffalo, along with three Seattle entries. They are Kol-Roy, Miss Bardahl and Thriftway. Local fans are hosping Miss Buffalo will avoid the mechani- cal difficulties that scratched her from the Silver Cup compe- tition. The big boat race is scheduled to start at 1 p.m., EDT. Saturday's race card will in- clude a number of national championship events in the various cubic-inch displacement division. the City of Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence State Hospital Alleys should be represented at this meeting. Last year the meeting had a very small turnout and we heard complaints all year. This is the time to file any complaint you might have. Activities of the Association should he discussed at this time. Ogdensburg- has not had a bowling banquet for a great many years. Last year was the first time a tournament had been held in the last ten years. The old days are gone, bowl- ing is a sport of the people. Years ago, only a small group participated in the sport of bowling. In the last four years, bowling has almost tripled in the city and surrounding area. Allowances must be made for this. The majority of the bowl- ers obtain only fair scores. The largest group is in the 150 bracket. When the tournament is set up, it should be arranged to favor the majority. We are of the opinion that the Association should set up an active committee for both the banquet and the tourna- ment. By active, we don't mean a group of men who will wait until the last week and then work like slaves to set up their respective pro- gram. Set the committees up now and you will have plenty of time. The Majority of the bowlers in the city association bowled in the two city alleys, therefore, we feel that the officers who are elected should represent both alleys. The president, secretray and vice presidents shouldn't be from one alley. They represent all the bowlers, so the officers should be elected from various areas. Any sign of a click should be wiped out. It is the duty and the respon- sibility of each bowler to be pre- sent Friday to vote. See you at the meeting. *roBs To 3rd HlffS New York — (AP) — Former champions Carmen Basilio and Hogan Kid Bassey, knockout victims in their most recent bouts, have been dropped from the leading contender's position in the latest Ring ratings re- leased today. Basilio, the erstwhile middle- weight titleholder, was dumped from No. 1 to No. 3 as a result of his loss to Gene Fullmer in last Friday's National Boxing As- sociation title match. Fullmer moved into the No. 1 spot while Spider Webb of Chicago ad- vanced to second place. Despite Fullmer's impressive triumph, Ring continues'to re- cognize Sugar Ray Robinson as the 160-pound boss. Bassey, former featherweight king from Nigeria, tumbled to third place among the 126- pounders. He was stopped by champ Davey Moore in a return go. Ricardo Gonzalez of Argen- tina took over Bassey's No. 1 post and Harold Gomez of Pro- vidence, the junior lightweight champion, climbed into second place.

Start in May. They were tied for first in mid-month, then lost five in a row and fell to fourth. It took 'em more than a month to get within a game of the top on June 28 after winning nine of 10. Then they lost four out of five. They were only a half-game shy at the first All-Star game break. Then they lost five out of seven. Twelve days later, they were just a half-game behind only to lose three out of four. They were first by a half- game July 29, then skidded to third. On Aug. 8 they were only a half-game from first. Then they lost three straight. Now they've missed again. After winning four of five, in- cluding two out of three from San Francisco, they had a chance to close within a half- game of the idle first-place Giants Tuesday night. So what happens? Old nemesis Larry Jackson shut 'em out with a two-hitter and St. Louis was a 3-0 winner, drop- ping the Dodgers 1% games be- hind. The Giants made hay all around. Philadelphia cracked third-place Milwaukee 5-3, on pitcher Don Cardwell's two-run homer in the ninth. That left the Braves three games behind and just a half-game ahead of Pitts- burgh's Pirates, whose ga with Cincinnati was rail . c Jackson, 28, a right-; . with only a 51-50 record in majors, upped his career reo against the Dodgers to 1 while handing them their fi shutout. He walked two, stri out four for a 12-12 sea mark. The Cards had only four b but two were home runs. I Boyer's 26th, a second-inn shot that extended his hitt streak to 20 games, ended Jo ny Podres' winning string four. Podres 12-8 also gave Alex Krammas' third homei the fourth inning and a doi in the sixth by Don Blasinga who stole third and scored Grammas' squeeze bunt. Cardwell, who had mana just one hit in 43 at bats • year, discarded his regular ounce bat, picked up a 40-ou cannon and tagged Bob Bu first pitch for the tie-break homer at Milwaukee. His o other home run in the ma. came when he was a rookie '57. The big right-hander, now with his fourth straight victi allowed only six hits, indue Ed Mathews' 36th home run Joe Adcock's 22nd. Buhl 11-9 had a two-hit si out until the sixth, when last place Phils scored tr. runs, two on Gene Free triple.

Miss Supertest , owned by James G. Thompson of London, Ont, outraced Maverick last F r i d a y in Detroi t to w i n t h e H a r m s w o r t h Trophy for t he first t ime in Canadian history.

Maverick, from L a k e Mead, Nev., won the Silver Cup and was shipped to Buffalo, a long wi th th ree Seat t le entr ies. They are Kol-Roy, Miss Bardah l and Thrif tway.

Las t year w a s t h e first t ime a t o u r n a m e n t h a d been held in the las t ten years .

The old days a re gone, bowl­ing is a sport of t he people. Years ago, only a small group par t ic ipa ted in t he spor t of bowling. In t he last four years , bowling has almost t r ip led in the city and sur rounding area. Allowances m u s t be m a d e for this. The major i ty of the bowl­ers obta in only fair scores. The largest group is in t he 150 bracket . When the t ou rnamen t is set up, it should be a r ranged to favor t he major i ty .

We a re of t he opinion t h a t the Association should set up an act ive commit tee for both the banque t a n d the tou rna ­ment . B y active, w e don ' t m e a n a group of m e n who will wai t unt i l the last week and then w o r k like slaves to set up the i r respect ive p ro ­g ram.

The Majority of the bowlers in t he city association bowled in the two city alleys, therefore, we feel t ha t t he officers who are elected should represen t both alleys. The president , secre t ray and vice pres idents shouldn ' t be from one alley. They represen t all the bowlers , so the officers should be elected from various areas. Any sign of a click should be wiped out.

I t is the duty and the respon­sibility of each bowler to be p r e ­sent F r iday to vote. See you a t the meet ing .

LA Loses To Cards Trails By V/i Games

By Ed Wilks Associated Press Sports Wri ter

You'd th ink those Los An­geles Dodgers have a men ta l block w h e n it comes to closing in on the Nat ional League lead.

S t a r t in May. They w e r e t ied for first in mid-month , t h e n lost five in a row and fell to fourth. I t took 'em more than a m o n t h to get wi th in a game of the top on J u n e 28 after winn ing n ine of 10. Then they lost four out of five.

They were only a ha l f -game shy a t the first Al l -Star game break. Then they lost five out of seven. Twelve days later , they w e r e jus t a half-game beh ind only to lose th ree out of four.

They were first by a half-game Ju ly 29, then skidded to third. On Aug. 8 they were only a hal f -game from first. Then they lost three s t ra ight .

Now they 've missed again. After winning four of five, in­cluding two out of t h ree from San Francisco, they h a d a chance to close wi th in a half-game of the idle first-place Giants Tuesday night .

So w h a t happens? Old nemesis L a r r y Jackson shut ' em out with a two-hitter and St. Louis was a 3-0 winner , d rop­ping the Dodgers 1% games be ­hind.

The Giants m a d e h a y al l around. Phi ladelphia cracked thi rd-place Milwaukee 5-3, on pi tcher Don Cardwell ' s t w o - r u n homer in t he ninth. Tha t left the Braves three games behind and jus t a half-game ahead of P i t t s ­

burgh ' s Pira tes , whose ga wi th Cincinnati was rail . c

Jackson, 28, a right-; . w i th only a 51-50 record in majors, upped his career r eo against the Dodgers to 1 while hand ing t h e m their fi shutout . He walked two, stri out four for a 12-12 sea mark .

The Cards had only four b bu t two were home runs . I Boyer 's 26th, a second-inn shot tha t extended his hit t s t reak to 20 games, ended Jo ny Podres ' winn ing str ing four. Podres 12-8 also gave Alex K r a m m a s ' th i rd homei the fourth inning and a doi in the s ixth by Don Blasinga who stole th i rd and scored Grammas ' squeeze bunt .

Cardwell , who had mana jus t one hi t in 43 at bats • year, discarded his regular ounce bat, picked up a 40-ou cannon and tagged Bob Bu first pitch for t h e t ie-break homer at Milwaukee. His o other home r u n in the ma. came when he was a rookie '57.

The big r ight -hander , now w i t h his four th s t raight victi a l lowed only six hits, i n d u e Ed Mathews ' 36th home r u n Joe Adcock's 22nd.

Buh l 11-9 h a d a two-hi t si out un t i l the sixth, when last place Phils scored tr. runs , two on Gene Free t r iple .
