It was a smash to the bill York Yankees snapped a three-game losing streak, defeating Butler University's baton twirling school. Probable pitchers will be Dixie Howell (7-6) and Carl Thomas (5-7) for the Indians and Al Corwin (10-6) and Ross Grimsley (2-8) of Louisville, When Flanigan gave up a run in the eighth, it ended a 16-inning scoreless pitching stretch by the left-hander. That tally came on Jim Py-burn's triple and a line single by Jack Parks which Altobelli couldn't hold. ''ill the Baltimore Orioles 7-2.

Tom Sturdivant, who hasn't won since April 22, received credit for only his second tri umph of the season although he needed assistance from Virgil Trucks in the eighth inning.

NOT ON THE BALL New York Third Baseman Jerry Lumpe had a rough afternoon yesterday as'lha Yankees beat Baltimore, 7-2, in Yankee Top, Lumpe bobbles a grounder from Gus Triandos for an error, while at bottom he misses a ball hit by Bill Gardner which shoots down the left field line for a double. Lumpe wound up with two errors in the game, but had a good day at the plate with a double and triple. (AP Wirephoto) Cards Nip "San Francisco UPI) Sam Jones pitched the St.

Louis Cardinals to a 7-3 victory over San Francisco last night and shoved the crumbling Giants down into third place. The Cards went ahead to stay a pair of unearned runs in the seventh inning, which were set up by shortstop Daryl Spencer's first of two errors. Then they tallied three more times in the eighth to hand southpaw Mike Mc-Cormick his third straight loss and fifth of the season. It was Jones' second victory within a week over the Giants and his 10th of the season He had his control troubles, walking eight batters, but usually tightened up in the clutch. The toothpick i board in right center.

Wayne Causey, who had hit one homer before last night, found the rightfield range twice for fourbaggers. Both were with one on off Bob Keeean in the fifth and Karl Drews in the seventh. CHUCK OERTEL also horn ered off Keegan, his poke oyer right in the third bringing; in anotner runner. Romano's homer set off three-run inning as it was followed by doubles by Altobelli and Carter, plus singles by Ed Phillips and Al Facchinu A double by Altobelli and Phillips' triple figured in the two-run second for the Tribe against Starter Fred Besana. Phillips' drive went over Wil lie Tasby's head in center and the Tribesman went on home for an unearned run when Causey dropped the relay.

Doubles by Jim Snyder and Romano cave the Indians a marker in the third. Kite left in the seventh after Altobelli's infield hit and Carter'! double. With the bases full, Facchini solved Kay for a two-run single to center. Tom Flanigan, the third Indianapolis hurler, was the winning pitcher his first triumph since June 20. It was the southpaw's 41st appearance of the season.

HIT-AND-RUN The Indians failed to score in the fourth although Phillips clouted his sec ond triple with none out. Southpaw Besana also had a wild pitch, gave a walk and hit a batter in this session. But Phillips was rundown between third and home when a squeeze try failed with a 2-0 count on Keegan, who couldn't get to a high, outside pitch. Among the spectators was Glen C. Miller, White Sox farm club director.

A DOUBLE HEADER is booked "with the Colonels tonight, starting at 6:30 p.m. and it will be Jaycee Night. There will be a demonstration between games by students of SINCE who built four of the first five cars in this year's race all or in part. It will have a laid-over engine and be similar to the car which George Amick drove to sec ond this time. There's good news for fans of Boyd from Lower Bucks County Hospital in Bristol Pa.

Boyd, who was burned seriously in a June fire at Langhorne, has success fully undergone a series of skin-grafting operations and is scheduled to walk for the first time Saturday. Boyd hopes to be able to return to his home in early autumn. Johnny plans to re sume campaigning next sea son and will run the entire USAC championship circuit as well as the "500." He would have given George Amick, Tony Bettenhausen and the other big car aces a real run for their money in the driving championship battle this year if he hadn't been burned. FRAN KABEL and Kay Schroeder won't be given the same jobs next year at the Country Club of Indianapolis golfing Derby. These two charming ladies operated a concession Saturday at the tee of one of the short holes, where patrons were invited to bet dollars against golf balls that they could put their tee shots on the green.

Fran and Kay made one slight error. They let a flock of players bet not on their own tee shots, but on that of Dale Morey. Despite the ladies' begging, Morey stepped up and hit his shot onto the green. That nearly cleaned out the supply of golf balls in the concession. DUANE CARTER, competition director of USAC, is negotiating with Bill France, NASCAR president, for a big car championship race at the new Daytona Beach (Fla.) Speedway to be held next July 4.

France wants the USAC drivers to run 250 miles and Carter is asking a $20,000 purse. NASCAR's policy is against running for percentages such as USAC does. France believes in paying only flat sums as purses. The new speedway now is under construction and is scheduled to be completed in time for a 500-mile stock car race on Feb. 22 to highlight NASCAR's annual Speed Week.

ALL FOUR of the semi-finalists of the recent State Women's Amateur golf tournament are scheduled to play in the same foursome tomorrow at the first Monti-cello Women's Amateur championship at the Tippecanoe Country Club, Monti-cello. The quartet, champion Julie Hull of Anderson, run-nerup Sandy Spuzich of Speedway, Mrs. Lincoln Parry of Muncie and Mrs. Bill Wright of Fort Wayne, are scheduled to tee off at noon. More than 100 players are expected to participate in the tournament, which will be only nine holes.

The above foursome, however, also will play a nine-hole exhibition in addition to the regular stint. 4 Records Set In State Swim Four events were run off and four state records were set last night as the State AAU Senior 'men's and worn en's swimming and diving championships got underway at the Riviera Club.

L-tefcm. SECONO CAMf VI. 1: loco v.o crossroads with Danger! For many years now, the minor league vehicle has been operating with the major leagues in the drivers seat. So, it seems imperative that the majors should sit up and take notice of what's happening and do something with that old steering wheel, before it's too late. Should the majors desire to preserve the present farm system, they are going to have to resort to increased subsidization of minor league clubs all over the nation.

The Chicago White Sox came through admirably with a $50,000 "gift" (it turned out later to be a loan at per cent interest) in order to keep the Indianapolis Indians in business this year. Considerable doubt has been raised that any such generosity can be expected in the future from the Chisox, who have only a working agreement with the community-owned Indians. The plight of minor league baseball as a whole is illustrated sharply by the experience of Indians Inc. Here is a team with the third best attendance in the American Association and riding on the crest of a seven-game winning streak (as these lines are written) and still losing money hand over fist. Frank E.

McKinney, board chairman of Indians expressed grave doubt yesterday that the club will even total 150,000 in paid attendance. It would take 200,000 to break even. If the club which is third in the league in gate-draw is having such a tough time, how can the rest of the loop get along? The answer is obvious. They can't on their own, at least. There can be no real doubt of what is responsible for the alarming general decline in interest and attendance which has put all of minor league baseball into a desperate battle for survival.

It is the giving away of their product by the major leagues over television. So, you say that the min- i ors are "protected" because a major league game can't be telecast into minor league territory in conflict with a minor league game? That's just about as much protection as you would get if you were trying to compete with somebody in the insurance business, say, and he agreed not to give away any policies in the same bui'd-ing and on the same day you were selling there. The simple fact is that one good ball game (you can see two or three with a little alert dial switching) on a Saturday afternoon is enough to satiate the average fan and, if it isn't, he can usually hook up with one or more on Sunday, too. Who in his right mind is going to get his quota of baseball by taking the trouble to drive out to the park and pay to-ee a minor league game when' he can sit home and watch the big-leaguers play for nothing? So, the case against the majors is clear. They have dealt a mortal blow to the minors at the boxoffice in their greed to cabbage onto the television dollar.

So, wh.t is to happen? The farm system seems necessary to preserve the present scheme of things in organized baseball. You can't have a farm system without minor league clubs. So, the majors are going to have to start picking up more of the tab, doing some more deficit financing for their little brothers in the minor leagues. Otherwise, the whole system Is likely to topple from its own weight. Major league clubs have been throwing around bonus money of $50,000 or $73,000 to promising but untried high school kids.

So, it would seem that a subsidy of $50,000 or so to a minor-league farm club now and then should not be regarded as an excessive expenditure, especially when it's a loan. Indianapolis fans have heard the cry of "wolf" raised several times before, so they may not be overly impressed by this latest crisis. But, we know we'd hate to wake up some morning and find this city without a baseball club. How about you?
