I at 5:30 p.m. Win or lose, the Americans then face Thursday night's victor, Clinton, at approximately 7:30 p.m. Although the run production by Clinton was impressive, much of the scoring was due to a leaky defense by the Greencastle nine. This fact was illustrated by the fact that Clinton collected but nine safeties, in comparison with seven miscues committed by Greencastle.

Clark promptly stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and trotted home on a single by teammate Ron Thomas. In the second inning, Clinton once again was off and running.

This time, the scoring was started when Jeff Allen smashed a drive down the left-field line and skipped over the fence for a ground rule double. Allen came on to score on a series of passed balls.

The commission said il would 'efuse- to recognize Frazier because of his "failure to defend lis tille againsl a bona fide contender in 16 months," or since Frazier won a unanimous decision over Muhammad Ali in New York March 8, 1971. The action of the commission and the announcemenl of Ihe jlanned fighl came in a news onference held by John Miskovsky, chairman of Ihe commission, Dick Sadler, Foreman's manager and promoters of the contest. Miskovsky said the Oklahoma commission, established by the Oklahoma Legislature lasl year, acted after determining thai Frazier "has nol fulfilled Ihe principal obligalion of the the defend ing of that tille aga'insl a bona fide contender within a twelve month period. "The commission determined Ihe most logical bona fide con- lender to be Olympic heavy weight champion George Fore man who is undefeated in 30 professional fights.

In the fourth inning, the Clintonians put the game out of reach, combining three singles with three Greencastle errors to produce five runs. Clinton's final tally came in the seventh when Rudy Bohirtc singled and later scored when the Greencastle defense once again proved shaky.

Brought to you By TED BROWN How's this an oddity about the most famous double play combi-: nation in baseball history, Tinker to Evers to Chance? Baseball fans have been hearing about them for years Yet, the fact is combination a a 11 y. made very few double plays! When P.

Adams wrote his famous poem about them in 1908, they made only eight double plays all year! The year before they had made only seven And, 15 World Series games in which they played in 190607-08, this combination made no double plays at all! Has there ever been anybody in big league baseball history who played in over 100 games in a season and NEVER struck put? It's never happened The closest anyone ever came to that was infielder Joe Sewell, who in 1925, played in 155 games, had 608 at bats, and struck out only four times all year, Here's an interesting, fact about golf that shows, more than anything else, how this game has grown In 1934, the leading money winner in pro golf, Paul Runyan, won a total of just over $6,000 all year he was the LEADING money winner, which means everybody else made less Today's leading money, winners, make almost 40 times more than that, or over $200,000 a year!
