Garden Scores Win In Eastern League By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three tight contests and a couple of slugfests marked Eastern League play Sunday as Reading's Joe Cherry unloaded a grand slam homerun, Jay Carden of Williamsport hurled a three-hitter, and Bingham- tom's Dick Nold lost a two-hit effort. Cherry's blast in the sixth inning off Waterbury's Nestor Chavez put the Phillies ahead, 7-6, wiping out an earlier, 6-1 Giants' lead. Reading won, 9-8, in the bottom of the ninth after the Giants made it 8-7 in the top of the frame on a triple by Don Mason and a bloop single by Bobby Bonds. Jim Campbell drove in two runs with a sharp single to right for the final margin.

Carden limited Pawtucket to three singles, striking out six and walking six, as he shutout the Indians, 2-0. In other Eastern League action Sunday, Binghamton split a doubleheader with York, whining the first game, 3-1, and losing the second, 2-1. Elmira pestered four Pitlsfield pitchers with 11 singles to smother the Red Sox, 9-0. In Saturday's action, Waterbury beat Reading, 1-0, in the first game of a twin bill, while the Phillies took the second, 4-3. In the only other game, Pawtucket beat Williamsport, 2-1.

Dick Loun, winning his sec- ond straight, game off the Triplets, warded off several threats by Binghamton as the White Roses scored both their runs in the fourth inning on three singles and a passed ball. Binghamton scored its lone run in the bottom of the fourth on two singles. Nold gave up only two safeties in the opener but one of them happened to be a two-run homer by Dave McDonald in the bottom of the first his seventh, of the season. The third run came after Tom Martz singled, stole second, and scored when catcher Roberto Harrera's throw went into centerfield and third baseman Jim Martin missed Del Unser's throw back. York scored its lone run in the fifth inning on two singles and an error.

At Elmira, Harley Anderson picked up the win as he held Pittsfield to four hits before he left in the fifth inning when his arm tightened. Tim Sommer Einished up, yielding four more hits in the last four frames. The Pioneers got to Pittsfield starter Bill Farmer for five runs in the first two innings and added two in the seventh and two in the eighth off southpaw Bill MacLeod.

Notes from By Ross Nevel Express Sports Writer The season of 1941 was a grea year for football at Lock Ha ven High School.

The gridders Coach I.V. Davis posted a 9-1- record and won the "Pape Bowl" game sponsored by the Lock Haven Exchange Club defeating Johnsonburg in a thrl ler, 14-12. Ed Mace, powerful full back, led the team in scorin with 85 points on 13 TDs an seven extra points. Fleet-fool ed Johnny McGhee scored 7 points, Sam Shoemaker, 41 and quarterback John Fred ericks, 18. End Brooke Me Ghee talliad 13 points.

Othei top linemen were Gene Ruhl Dick Brooks, Ken Croak, Jim Fultz, Bucky Robinson, Bil Holland, Lew Santonico, Pete Innocent. 'The 1942 Bobcats posted 64-1 record. Ed Mace was again the leading pointmaker with 71 Cliff Yarnell scored 42 points Don Stringfellow 30, and Jim Fletcher 18. The 1943 LHHS gridders bad a 5-3-1 mark. Jim Maurer led all sporers with 52 points on seven TDs and 10 extra points.

Other scorers: Ken Bartholomew 42 Cliff Yarnell 30, Bob McLaughlin 18, Nick Crowley 13, Bob Bush 12, Charles "Smiley" Wilt 12, John Savrock 8, Bowes 6. (The next LHHS scoring series will feature: 1944, 7-3, Susquehanna League champs; 1945, 4-6-1, 1946, 5-5-1.) The Olympic Wrestling Committee plans to sponsor two summer Olympic Development Camps this year. The Eastern camp will be held July 30-Aug. 5 at Russ Houk's Wrestling Camp at Forksville, Pa. Tom Evans, University of Oklahoma, 1968 Olympic Greco-Roman ccach, will be camp director with Russ Houk as host and Rex Perry, 1964 Olympic coach as camp manager.

The Western camp will be Aug. 20-26 at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, with Bill Smith, San Francisco Olympic Club and 1968 Olympic free style coach, directing and Wes Brown, NAU coach, as host and camp manager. Selection committees will screen candidates for the camps. For the East the committee is composed of Houk, Gerry Leeman, Lehigh coach, and Perry. For the West, Wes Brown, Allen Pattern and Jess Hoke, editor of the Amateur Wrestling News, will do the picking.

The number to be invited to the two camps will depend upon Boating Boom Is More Than Mark Twain Could Toferafe If anyone, back in the early 1900's, would have dared suggest that there would be nearly a thousand times more pleas- ure'boats operating by 1967, the discussion would've warmed up Pierp ont Morgan would the funds made available by the Olympic Development Committee. LHHS ATHLETE OF THE PAST Fran Pool-man was a three letter winner at Lock Haven High School in football, basketball and baseball. He graduated from the local school in 1956. FRANCIS POORMAN Athlete of the Past Fran played Little League, Junior League and Junior American Legion baseball. He was catcher on the American Legion team that went to the state tournament at Allentown and also was selected to play in the North-South Ail-Star game played at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

Poorman played in the Clinton League for several seasons and presently is on the Jersey Shore Eagles team in the West Branch League. The Hammermill Paper Mill employe is married to the former Sondra Farling and they have three children, Eddie 6, Doreen 5, and Char- Icy 2. After three years of trying to see two football games on a Saturday afternoon with one at Villiamsport and the other at ll Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller of Beech Creek will have much easier this season as sons, Wayne and Steve, will be playing on the same earn once again.

Wayne, who quarterbacked the Bald Eagle-Nittany High School football team three years, will be a senior at Lycoming College this fall. Steve, who just completed a rilliant record as varsity sig- al-caller for three years also BEN, plans to enroll at Ly- oming College in the fall. So after six seasons the West Branch League can look forward to facing BEN at last without a Miller quarterback. But the Middle Atlantic College Conference after facing Wayne three seasons can look forward to possibly a Miller for another four year at least. Between them Wayne and Steve broke every passing record on the books at Bald Eagle Nittany High School.

Panamanian riders Jacinto Vasquez and Jorge Valesquez account for 49 of the first 108 races at Garden State's spring meeting. Vasquez had an edge wife 25. chuckle at such a suggestion. Bill McKinley would cite it as a danger of the graduated income tax. Norman Thomas would call it a dream come true.

And Mark Twain would call it a navigation hazard. All of them would be partly right, mostly wrong. The pleasure boat of Morgan's day was something to behold: Steam power, a good sized crew and furnishings that would flatter a mansion. J. P.

Eddie Welch fired a four-hit, shutout game for Inter-Community gaining credit for the win. Welch fanned 14 men in a brilliant performance on the mound. Joe Geise was tagged with the loss giving up five runs on seven hits and no walks while fanning two in three and one-third innings of action.

Greg Zimmerman came on to relieve and gave up two more runs on two hits and three walks while fanning two.batters. Flemington played a poor defensive game for an All-Star team committing four errors; Inter-Community player errorless ball. Also helping Inter-Community were two wild pitches and two passed balls given up by Flemington. Backing up Welch in his fine pitching role were six Inter- Community hitters who pestered the two Flemington pitchers for a homer, a double and seven singles. Dave Bowes homered and Steve Daniels connected for a double in leading the Inter-Community hitters.

Willie Miller and Charles Lucas also figured in the win; both smashed two singles. Other singles were clubbed by Joe Zadon, Ron Schenck and Welch. Flemington's four hits consisted of singles by Toby Walker, Gary Hanley, Geise and Steve Yost. The next game in the playoff action will be tomorrow night with Lock Haven pitted against Renovo on the Mill Hall Little League field at 6:00 p.m. Flemington 000 Inter-Community 014 Losing Geise; Winning Welch.

Daniels. Home Bowes. Floruss, Arter Win Twenty teams took part in the Clinton Country Club's Scotch- Foursome tourney over the weekend. Jim Floruss and Louise Arter McKinley's fears that the affluent society would be reduced to the lowest common denominator haven't been justified either. OBC says there are more than 8 million pleasure boats around today, but the millionaires don't have to settle for a rowboat.

Sales of yachts in the category are at an all-time or no tax. Thomas would have liked the idea of every factory worker being a yachtsman, too. This isn't Skilled workers, clerical and sales people, and professional men are still the highest purchasers of boating equipment. But semi skilled workers are becoming more and more a factor in the market. An old riverboat man like Twain would worry about too many boats.

In many places, the abundance of pleasure boats has caused congestion nearly equal to the traffic on an L.A. freeway. But new boating water is becoming available; new harbors are making open water boating more convenient; and boats are more reliable and easier to operate. The amount of money Americans spent on boating last year would have boggled the minds of all four gentlemen. Estimates place it at nearly $3 lion's share of the Gross National Product back in 1900.

What about the coming years? New York State alone predicts it will have more than a million boats by 1975, and it's spending millions to prepare for this expected boom in boating. Visionaries aren't too worried about running out of water. One noted: people across oceans safely in high- speed 15-footers and they'll have all the leisure time they need, too." Chicago, Mets, Astros All Claim Double Wins "In another 50 years will be able to skip lorry Rippey Wins Area Eliminations were the low gross winners with a score of 77. Doctor John Brandt and Mary Lou Brandt tied with Robert and Jeanne Knarr with 82-14-68 for low net honors. Ron Aungst Falls! at State College Larry Rippey took another step toward the Junior World Wrestling Tournament Saturday, winning top honors in the 132- pound division of the sectional elimination turnament held at State College.

Ron Aungst, Jersey Shore's fine 106-pounder, was not as fortunate. Ron fell by the wayside as John Morgan of New Jersey claimed top honors in the lightest weight class. In all, six Pennsylvania boys won titles, compared to two from Delaware and two from New Jersey Joining Rippey as Pennsylvania champions were Dave Weber, State College's 114-pound entrant, Clyde Frantz, a 143- pounder from Hughesville, Leo Roan, a 178-pounder from Forty- Fort, Jeff Baum, a 191-pounderj from Allentown and Dave Joy-1 ner, State College's outstanding heavyweight. The winners of this tourna ment will now advance to the Northeast Sectional competition which will be held in Linden hurst, Long Island, New York on July 22nd The champions that action will advance to national finals next month. Rippey had very little trouble annexing another title to hii rapidly growing collection as he worked his way to the champ ionship mainly via pins.

Olym pic rules were used to govern the tourney with a wrestler being eliminated when he ac crued six black marks. Larry Lauchle, former Muncy High and University of Pittsburgh standout, handled the Pennsylvania squad. Lauchle is now a teacher and coach a Shamokin High School. He wil handle one of the two squads in the competition to be held in Bulgaria in August. Buckpasser in Front By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Buckpasser takes over the spotlight again this week in thoroughbred racing.

The Ogden Phipps' 4-year-old colt tries to sweep the handicap triple by winning the Brooklyn Handicap at Aqueduct on Saturday as another step towards gaining Horse of The Year honors for the second straight year. The other two races in the handicap triple are the Metropolitan and the Suburban. The Suburban was the race in which Buckpasser, apparently beaten, made a big run in the stretch to beat Ring Twice at the wire. LARRY RIPPEY next stop Lindenhurst Washington Is Moving Up Behind Hodges Club's 7th Straight Moves Them Close to Top Five Ball Clubs By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two weeks ago, lippy Leo Durocher and the Chicago Cubs had baseball's miracle markel cornered. Now Gil Hodges, Durocher's antithesis in the managers guild, quietly has begun making magic atop Capitol Hill.

Hodges' Washington Senators campaigning for a place in the sun after 20 dark years in the American League depths, reeled off their seventh successive victory Sunday, trimming Cleve land 4-1 behind Ken McMullen a .238 hitter, and Bob Hum phreys, a nondescript reliel pitcher making his second start Elsewhere, Minnesota swept doubleheader from California, 51 and 7-45, and climbed within one-half game of the first place Chicago White Sox, who split a twin bill with Kansas City. The Athletics won the nightcap 7-0 after bowing 5-1 in the first game. Baltimore edged New York 2-1 in 14 innings and Boston drubbed Detroit 9-5. Humphreys, opening on the mound after 30 relief appearances this year, blanked the Indians on three hits before to Bob Priddy in the seventh inning. McMullen walloped a pair of seventh and eighth of the season- as Washington matched its record winning string as an AL exnansion club.

The victory left the Senators one half game behind Baltimore's struggling 1966 champs and within lengths of the first division. The last time a Washington club finished in the top half of the AL was 1946, when the old Senators wound up fourth in an eight-team circuit. Humphreys, who blanked the Yankees for five innings in his only 1966 start, struck out four, walked two and permitted only one Indian to reach second base while boosting his record to 3-1 and lowering his ERA to 4.06. Bob Allison pinch hit a three- run homer for Minnesota in the first game and smacked a two- run seventh inning shot that tied the nightcap 6-6 before Rich Rollins' leadoff homer in the ninth completed the Twins' sweep. Rollins connected off reliever Ken Turner, who also was the victim of Allison's decisive blast in the seventh inning of the opener.

Dave Boswell stopped the Angels on four hits in the first game and reliever Al Worthington was the nightcap winner. Southpaw Paul Lindblad earned the A's a split at Chica go by firing a three-hitter in hi first complete game of the year The White Sox took the opene behind first-time starter Wilbur Wood, who scattered seven hit before Hoyt Wilhelm came on to get the last two outs.

And tile swinging times had by these two first basemen Sunday were too much for the Louis Cardinals, who saw their National League lead cut to two games over the second place Chicago Cubs. "I had a real cold spell after the All-Star break," said Kranepool after he turned hot with a pair of two-run homers to lead the New York Mets to a doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals, 2-1 and 8-5. The 36-year-old Banks, who likes to play in San Francisco because "the cool weather here seems to give older players a boost," hit a three-run 1 homer and a two-run shot to help the Cubs beat the Giants 9-0 and 3-2. In other NL games, Atlanta edged Pittsburgh 2-1, Philadelphia trounced Cincinnati 8-0 and Houston swept Los Angeles 4-1 "Fifteen homers for me is a good year because I don't have that kind of swing for home runs," said Kranepool, who connected with Tommy Davis on base in the seventh inning for his sixth homer to give the Mets their first-game victory. Kranepool, who had gone hitless in 16 trips prior to the homer, singled in a run and then unloaded again with Davis on during a five-run burst in the fifth inning of the nightcap.

"To be where little cable cars climb half way to the stars," sang the jubilant Banks, who sent a ball all the way over the fence with two aboard in the first inning of the opener and then did it again with a man on in the second inning of the nightcap. The Cubs had no trouble in the first game, Adolfo Phillips clinching it with a grand slam in the sixth, but they had a real fight in the second game. Bank's homer was the only hit off Ron Herbel until Don Kessinger singled to lead off the ninth with the score tied 2-2. Glenn Becker forced Kessinger, but Billy Williams singled Beckert to third from where he scored on Ron Santo's sacrifice fly off reliever Frank Linzy. Jim Hart homered for one Giant run and Willie McCovey singled in the other.

Mack Jones' RBI single in the sixth inning snapped a 1-1 tie for the Braves, who had opened the scoring an inning, earlier. Pittsburgh had tied it in the top of the sixth with an unearned run off Phil Niekro, who pitched a five-hitter. Ron Davis drove in two runs in each game and Jim Wynn homered and picked up three RBI in the nightcap in Houston's double victory. Wynn's homer was his 22nd, and he boosted his major league leading RBI total to 68. Eddie Mathews hit his 501st career homer in the second game.

Bunning Lifts Record to 9-8 CINCINNATI (AP)-Jim Bunning pushed his won-lost, record to the plus site of .500 and moved the Philadelphia Phil lies to within one game of accomplishing the same feat. He did it on a nifty, 8-0 four- hit shutout over the Cincinnati Reds Sunday, which tied him with Chicago's Curt Simmons for total career shoutouts in the National League among active pitchers, both second to Don Drysdale. Bunning and Simmons each have 35. Bunning contributed to his own cause in the 14-hit attack, getting two singles in a five-run seventh inning. He struck out eight and walked two to boost his season's record to 9-8.

It was his third win in a row. The Phillies are now 41-42 on the season. John Callisan began the Phillies' scoring with a solo homed run in the second inning. The Phils scored one each in the fourth and fifth, and erupted for five in the seventh, two coming in on a double by Rich Allen and two more on a single by Cookie Rojas..
