PACE 12 WEDNESDAY. MAY 4. 1960 feir me doopir Svaiiers Certain ECenfudcy. Classic Atlanta and Chicago Join New League NEW YORK (AP)-The fledgling American Football League became a 10-team circuit today with added two more in the third on doubles by Nelson Fox and Minnie Mnos4) and Roy Sievers lone defeat of his career In the By FRED DOWN United Press International That's right, the experts were wrong again. The little fellow they thought might be washed up has turned out to be the strong man of the Chicago White Sox pitching staff.

Billy Pierce, all of 165 pounds when holding the 5'4-ounce base ball, was rated a definite question mark this spring because of his 14-15 1959 record and the fact he was pretty much ignored in the World Series. But he's turned in two of the three complete games achieved by the While Sox staff this season and is the only starter with a winning record. Red Sox topped the Kansas City Athletics, 4-J, in other American League games. In the National League's only action, the Reds scored a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies ended a six-game losing streak with a 10-9 win over the Chicago Cubs. Pierce allowed 10 hits but he struck out six and did not walk a batter as he protected an early 4-0 lead.

The White Sox took advantage of an error by shortstop Ron Hansen to score two unearned runs off rookie Steve Barber in the second inning and BllLETlX 10USVILLE, Ky. lrwUeaii Purple, winner of the Derby Trial Stakes Tuesday, was withdrawn from the Kentucky Derby today because of sore shin. George Gagarin, assistant to trainer G. P. (Mom, reported the eolt bucked his left foreleg during the on-mile Derby prrp at Churchill Downs.

The ailment is minor and occurs with most young horses. It was estimated Beau Purple would be out of training two or three weeks. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI)-With the preliminary tests all over and the big race only four days away, the field for the $125,000 added Kentucky Derby had 12 certain ftarlcrs today with the chance that several others still may join them. Beau Purple's brilliant victory in near record time in the Derby Trial at Churchill Downs Tuesday discouraged several owners and trainerj from starting horses in America's greatest racing spectacle, which annually draws the attention of the entire country.

That triumph threw trainer Jimmy Jones of Calumet Farm into a quandary, for he had three horses trail Beau Purple across the finish line, and it gave pause to Jimmy Pitt, who trains one of the favorites in Bally Ache. Tompion. owned by C. V. Whitney, remained the solid favorite with a chance that the winner of the Santa Anita Derby and the Blue Grass Stakes would be an odds on choice at post time.

Tompion loomed as the strongest favorite since Native Dancer started at 7-10 only to suffer the single. Three singles and a sacrifice fly gave the Orioles two runs in the fourth and Hansen homered in the fifth but Pierce shut out Baltimore the rest of the way. Jim Landis had three hits and Fox, Sievers and Luis Aparicio two each to lead the White Sox' 12-hit attack. Moose Skowron and Kent Had-ley hit two-run homers and Roger Maris hit a solo homer to lead a 14-hit Yankee attack that also included doubles by Skowron and Kent Hunt and a triple by Gil McDougakf. Art Ditmar, who pitched the second through the sixth innings, won his first game.

The loss was the seventh in a row for the Tigers. Lenny Green singled home the winning run in the ninth inning for the Senators, who played their seventh straight one-run game. Tito Francona, who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the third inning, contributed to four scoring innings for the Indians with a LOSE TENNIS MATCH, 54 sacrifice fly, two doubles and a sirgie. Bill Monbouquette gained his second victory for the Red Sox when first baseman Norm Sie-berns 10th inninz error enabled Don Buddin to score the winnng run. Bob Cerv homered lor Kansas City.

Frank Robinson hit a two run homer and Dutch Dotterer drove in two runs with a homer and a double to lead the Reds' attack while Don Demeter's two homers and a double accounted for all Los Angeles' runs. The game was enlivened by a sixth-inning argument between Dodger pitcher SUn Williams and Vada Pinson after the latter was hit by a pitched ball. The loss dropped the Dodgers below the .500 mark at 8-9. Ken Walters' ninth-inning homer, his third hit of the game, proved the decisive run for the Phillies, who overcame an earlv 5-0 Cub lead. Bobby Del Greco, Frank Herrera and Wally Post had two hits each for Philadelphia and Frank Thomas drove in four runs with two homers for Chicago.

Mil i I i- ti 1 the addition of Atlanta and Chicago, but there remained one mystery to be solved: Who gets the Chicago franchise? Harry Wismcr, president of the New York Titans and chairman of the AFL expansion committee, announced Tuesday that Atlanta and Chicago have been awarded franchises. F.atwi Chalkley, Carrollion, automobile dealer and husband of movie actress busan mywara, snapped up the Atlanta franchise.

"We'll play In Atlanta when we've got a place to play," he said, "meaning that I'm hopeful this will encourage the city to get on with its new stadium project." Wismer said two groups were trying to get the Chicago fran chise. One he said, was headed by Tom King and Johnny Rigney, formerly of the Chicago White Sox and now a securities dealer. The other, he' identified as being headed by Bill Veeck, cur rently president of the White Sox. But: Kins said his group had not asked for or received a franchise, He said the league asked for. a $25,000 down payment for the fran chise, but he did not pay it.

"I believe there is a great fu ture for the American Football League in Chicago," said King, "but we have not asked for a franchise yet." Rigney said he had been asked several weeks ago if he was in terested and he replied that he was not. Veeck couldn't be reached for comment. But it was reported that his role, if any, would be that of landlord if the franchise operates in Comiskey Park, home the White Sox. Teams already in the AFL, which is set to start operations this fall, are Buffalo, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, New York Denver, Boston and Oakland.

LEVI They'll Come Back DO.YT COUNT RAY LOITHEN'S Ball State baseballers out of the Indiana Collegiate Conference title race just because they guffered a twin loss Monday at Valparaiso. The Cards, now 4-2 in league play and 11-3 overall, have chance to get back into the thick of things when they entertain Indiana State in a double-header here Friday afternoon. That twin loss to Valpo certainly hurt the Cardinal camp, but the Ball Staters shouldn't let it get them down.

Knowing skipper Ray Louthen, he'll have 'em "ready" for Indiana State. Actually, Valparaiso is the defending conference champ and a double loss to the veteran Crusaders somewhat was expected. After all, Ball State has been the surprise team inthe loop and, in pre-season forecasts, wasn't expected to cause much trouble, Valparaiso no doubt was mighty high for Louthen's kids for yesterday they had a let down against a weaker Purdue nine slipping, 1J-5. Ball State owns a decision over the Boilermakers. Following Friday's games, Ball State has two more conference double bills playing at Butler May 14 and at home May 20 against St.

Joseph's. Prior to the Butler stint, Louthen takes his charges to Illinois May 10 for a single game. Although not assured of a winning season, eight games and a tourney remain, this year's Card baseball machine will remain as one of the winningest sporting aggregations in this year'i Card sports program.

Not definitely declared out were Calumet Farm'i three horses, plus Efonlyi, El Zag and Fighting Hodge. "I won't make up my mind for the next day or two," said Jones, who has trained two of the seven Calumet Farm Derby winners. His father, Ben, saddled the others. Jones had considered Hillsborough his best chance for another victory but Hillsborough finished a distant sixth in the Derby Trial, although he did close some ground in the stretch.

Grandmother Faces Youth NEW ORLEANS IB A Florida veteran with four grandchildren had something to say today in the second round of the women's Southern Amateur Golf Tournament. In one of the matches that pits youth and its ambition against age and experience, defending champion Judy Eller of Old Hickory, faced Mrs. Mark Mc-Garry of St. Petersburg, Fla. Miss Eller, only 19, is a member of the U.S.

Curtis cup team that will try its hand against British women golfers in two weeks. For the time being she's concentrating on a successful defense of her Southern crown, and whipped Mrs. Gaines Wilson of Louisville, 5 and 4 in Tuesday's first round. Mrs. McGarry, keeping her age to herself, trimmed Mrs.

Harry Henderson of Alexandria, 5 and 3 for her first round triumph. Polly Ann Riley, the Ft. Worth, swinger who has been the Southern champion five times, started after another crown Tuesday with a 7 and 6 routing of Marjo Simmons of Bogalusa, La. Mary Pat Jenssen of Charlottesville, among the pre-tourna-ment favorites, fell 2 and 1 to Mrs. Shelby Lee of Memphis, in the day's big surprise.

SPORTS PARADE They Deserve The 13-year old left hander picked on his favorite cousins Tuesday night when he pitched the White Sox into sole possession of first place in the American League by beating the Baltimore Orioles, 5-1.

It was his second straight complete game and made his career mark against Baltimore 20-6, The New York Yankees moved into second place with a 10-3 rout of the Detroit Tigers, the Washington Senators beat the Cleveland Indians, 76, and dropped them into third place and the Boston 'Cards lost to one of the best teams they will play this year probably the best Miami is now undefeated in four matches and one of its previous victims was DePauw. The latter, of course, dealt Ball State its only other defeat in its six meets. The Cards found Hughes a little too much to overcome. Lightning fast at the net and the owner of a bullet overhead, Miami's diminutive No. 1 netmen disposed of Warren Harmeson, 6-2, 6-3, and was deadly to Harless and Barcus.

But Ball State had its moments. With the Cards down, 3-1, in the singles, Harless and Benbow both seemed headed for addidional doom, which would have clinched it for Miami right there. Harless was in the sorriest predicament, down 0-5 in the third set against Battrey. But he clamped down on an attack that had been erratic and hurried, stayed in the backcourt to wait for Battrey's errors, and performed the unlikely feat of winning seven games in a row. The final score was 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Then Benbow, with the pressure now on him, evened up his No. 5 match with Jim Stamper by coming from a 1-4 deficit to win the second set, 7-5, after losing the first by the same score. He held the upper hand from there on to win the third at 6-3. Pauf Cossell got Ball State's other point in the singles by trouncing Art Sanders, 6-1, 6-3, in the No. 4 match.

Miami's other two singles points were won by John Sutor with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Barcus in the No. 3 contest and Jim Catherwood with a 6-3, 6-3 triumph over Dave Horn in No. 6. Harmeson and Cossell gave the Cardinals a lead in the meet by beating Sutor and Sanders in the No. 2 doubles, 7-5, 6-1.

But the victory which continued the Cardinal duo's unbeaten record was to be Ball State's last of the day. First Harless and Barcus crumbled, with Harless showing the wear and tear of his long singles match, then Benbow and Horn stumbled in two straight sets to Walter Browtt and Jim Meyer, 7-5, The Cards at that made it closer against Miami than DePauw, whom they'll have to beat to retain their ICC crown during a conference tournament here in two weeks. DePauw lost to Miami, 7-2. Was Ball State better? Hughes said no, with emphasis. "This was our-first meet away from home.

We weren't used to these slower courts." Madison Heights Names Bob Baker Football Coach Bob Baker, former Royer-ton football coach and Ball State athlete, has been named bead coach at Anderson Madison Heights. Baker, who last year served as an assistant coach at Ft. Wayne South Side, built a 41-9 won-lost record and won five Mississinewa -Valley Conference titles while coaching at Royerton. At one time Royerton won 30 consecutive games. Baker, who is married and the father of a son, replaces Kenneth (Tink) LaRue who recently was named assistant coach at Kansas State.

Those Muncie Burris golfers who didn't play a single round of competitive golf with an outside foe, mainly because the Owls don't have an official team, have finished second is the Central Indiana Conference meet. The unooached Owls Tuesday, after a season long practice session at Green Hills, finished (308 to 32S) 20 strokes behind winner Peru.

And highlight of the affair was the low medalist honor von by Owl Jerry Moss, who fired a three-over-par 74. Other Owl scores were Terry Rhodes, 82; John McNaughten, SS, and Mike Ross, 86. This proves the west siders need a full schedule and, of course, a coach. It has been reported that numerous interested persons recently sent a signed petition to the school's athletic director. But nothing, at least to this writer's knowledge, has been done.

Many have agreed to furnish transportation and equipment What more can you ask? When youngsters such as these take it on their own to go out, uncoached and inexperienced In competitive meets, and play In matches such as the CIC affair, they deserve a better break. By JIM FULTON The doubles competition had been the most invulnerable part of Ball State's tennis lineup, something nice to have in reserve if a match still was waiting for a turning point. But Miami of Ohio netmen dumped one of the Cardinals' two unbeaten doubles teams and also picked up the rubber match in that category to gain a 5-4 triumph at Woodworth Courts Tuesday. And the decision went to the visitors only after Ball State hopes had been catapulted from the by comeback singles victories by Bill Harless and Larry Benbow. Miami's Tom Hughes and John Battrey then had to pull a comeback of their own to best Ball State's top-light team of Harless and John Barcus, who had continued mowing them down since winning- the Indiana Collegiate Conference doubles title a year ago.

If there was a turning point in the meet, it must have been somewhere in this match as the Miami duo fought from a one-set deficit to win, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3.

McKEVLEY WINS TWO McKinley won a pair of track and field victories from Wilson Tuesday winning the frosh meet 58-51 and the eighth grade meet. In the ninth grade encounter McKinley won six events and shared first in two others.

Collins fired a three-under-par 35-34-69 Tuesday to win the big slice of the Houston money and edge Palmer by two strokes: Palmer, who plays out of Ligonier, turned the front nine even with Collins, but bogeyed the 12th hole when he missed a five-foot putt Then on the 14th who made terrific iron shots all day, landed his approach shot within six feet of the pin and sank the putt for a birdie three. Palmer shot a par four and fell two strokes behind. Palmer's last chance to pull even came on the 17th, when Collins overshot the green. But Collins' chip shot landed 10 feet from the cup and he sank it for a par. Palmer was unable to do better than par himself.

The two tied for first place with 280s through the fourth round of the classic Monday. One of them could last, natural ly. A lot of colts have turned it on in the big one and laughed all the way home from the front end. Swaps did it beating Nashua. Dark Star did it flattening Native Dancer.

So did such as Hill Gail, Jet Pilot, Hoop Count Fleet and Johnstown. But there is a reluctance to ac cept these come and catch me colts in this corner, particularly in view of the fact that they usually are favorites. It might be better interest than they pay in a bank, but don try to sell me these $2.60 horses.

(UPI)-Brawny Bill Collins began a "week of rest" today with $5,300 prize money from the Houston Classic golf tournament and the knowledge he has just become a member of a very exclusive club. When he won the $35,000 classic in a special 18-hole playoff, Col lins became one of the few golf pros to beat Masters champion Arnold Palmer this year. Collins, a husky, 210-pound ex-Marine from Crystal River, had won only one major PGA tournament in his career last year's New Orleans Open.

But Palmer had been winning them right and left this year so many that he is the biggest early-sea son money winner of all time. His second-place winnings Tues day totaled $3,400. They fattened his already impressive bankroll to $47,657.57. 1949. He won it easy, too, by a fat three lengths.

The kid could have had the same chance. For when they parade to the post for Saturday's Rose Run, there's going to be a speedbaii jam session at the getaway reminiscent of the first lap in the Indianapolis 500. Sure to be out there battling for the lead like a couple of lady shoppers at a bargain counter are the favored Tompion and the well liked Bally Ache. Should Beau Purple, the bell-to-wire winner of the trial get a chance to run, it'll be a skyrocket jamboree. And the two, or the three of them, could burn each other off.

That would leave it wide open for something to come churning out of nowhere in those long final yards or the Derby stretch to I pick up the American beauties. FLIPJOPS for Boys Colt tuins Fairy Tale PHILADELPHIA (UPI)-Harold Johnson of Philadelphia, top-ranked light heavyweight contender, will be seeking his 12th straight victory tonight when he meets Clarence (Tiger) Floyd in a 10-round nationally televised fght. Floyd is a 2-1 underdog but he hn worried because it gives him the chance to score the upset of the season. The New York truck driver, the owner of a 10-8 log, broke into the ranks of the contenders far the first time after scoring a surprise upset over previously unbeaten Von Clay of Philadelphia here two months ago. Floyd hopes to make it two upsets in a row.

But in Johnson, 1 kiyd will meet the most formidable test of his career.
