16-lnning Marathon Ends In 5-5 Deadlock At Curfew Tribe Clings To Slim Edge As Yanks Roll On 4-7 fiitfimimiiniimntttt'- tmVERStrr of Notre -I Dame, whose officials have been so set against the NCAA's football television schedule, may break with the NCAA. Or so the speculation goes. The guessing game started again recently when the University purchased a radio station from the Universal Broadcasting Co. The station was purchased by the Michiana Television which is in turn owned by ND. The Universal Broadcasting Co i and Michiana had been competing for a TV channel assignment in the South Bend area and from all indications, the sale of the station means that Notre Dame will now have clear sailing in the race for a channel.

WHERE the speculation starts is over the possibility that the University will start telecasting its games and disregard the policy sei by the NCAA which assigns the games to be telecast by the Broadcasting Co. If the Irish do televise their own games and go against the policy of the NCAA it may result in a big split in the organizations' ranks or the fall of ND as a football leader. It's no that other schools are against the "game of the- week" policy adopted by the NCAA governing body. The Big Ten would like to see regional telecasting. Other large groups want unrestricted televising as does Notre Dame.

Should some of the big schools choose to stick with the NCAA policy instead of going along with Notre Dame, (if the Irish get a TV outlet and screen their own games) then the ND may run out of opponents. The NCAA may crack down and forbid its members to schedule the Irish. This is all in the line of speculation, of course. Notre Dame doesn't have a television outlet as yet. LUKE EASTER Ls slated (o be back in San Diego again and perhaps the big "Sausage Baron" will end his organized baseball career for the same team with which he made his much publicized entry into baseball.

Luke's prodigious home run production for the Padres prompted Lou Boudreau to bring him up to Cleveland in 1949. In his first season in organized ball in 1949, Luke clouted 25 homers in 80 games, had driven in 91 runs, scored 56 and was batting a hefty .363 for the YANKEE SURPRISE. After two disappointing 'seasons with the Yanks, Irv Noren has suddenly blossomed into a terriffic hitter. His high average is far above previous years. Last year, as late as June 15, his top batting average was 295.

(International) Jaycee Golfers At Wooster Over 90 junior golfers', including Tuscarawas County's three entries are expected to vie for the Ohio Jaycee Junior Golf crown at the state meet to be held in Wooster Thursday. Darryl Copeland of Uhrichsville the winner of the 18-hole meda tourney held at Union Country Club last month, will head this county's Padres in the Pacific Coast League, the next step down from the majors. In 21 games with Cleveland that year, Luke hit safely 10 times in 45 trips to the plate. The best he could do in the extra-base hit department was three doubles. The record book shows that Easter hit 28 homers in a full season with the Tribe in 1950.

He batted .280 and drove in 107 runs that year. In 1951, he hit .270, connected for 27 homers and drove in 103 runs. IT WAS in 1952 that Al Lopez decided he'd put some drive into Easter and he sent Big Luke to Indianapolis. After a short stay there Luscious came back to Cleveland and swatted 31 homers for the rest of the season while driving in 97 runs. Last year he batted .303 and hit entries.

JOHN COLU1V1BO of Roswell and Art Cunningham of New Philadel phia, the second and third place finishers, will complete the trio to be sponsored by the Dover anc Uhrichsville Jaycees. The Dover Jaycees, who wil sponsor two of the entries, took the trio to Wooster this morning so tha they could get a practice round golf in at one of the two courvses over which the state meet will staged. A party will be held for the jun ior golfers at Wooster tonight with the Wooster Country Club golf Bob Smith and the tournamen chairman Dick Riggle scheduled hold a rules discussion. seven homers in 68 games. Undoubtedly Lopez would have liked to get rid of Easter earlier but it appears that he couldn't quite do it until this season.

Back with a AAA. team in Ottawa, Luke began swatting the ball well over the .300 mark. Recently he got in a tussle with his manager at Ottawa, Les Bell. Luke stayed after a suspension and a fine and Bell was fined and given a jjob elsewhere in the Athletics' organization. Luke was then ticketed for San Diego by International League club's general manager.

Avila's 2nd Homer Saves Day BOSTON Indians eld the American League's first dace today by the slim margin of our percentage points after a 5-5 eadlock with the Boston Red Sox hat ran 16 innings and ended at 2:57 EOT this morning. The marathon ran 4 hours, 26 minutes before the league curfew aw was en-forced. According to the rule, no inning any baseball game can begin fter 12:50, and play must posi- ively be. stopped by 1 o'clock.

The contest, recorded as a tie rhich must be replayed in its en- irety, left the Indians with a per- entage of .685. The New York 'ankees, who beat Chicago, 4-1, ast night, have .681. Other results in the American included a 9-1 triumph by Washington over Baltimore and wo more losses by the Philadel- hia Athletics, their 9fch and 10th a row, this time to Detroit 12-0 nd 4-3. The Tribe's shaky grip on first ilace would have been broken but or a ninth-inning home run with wo out by Bob Avila. The homer, which came with a man on base, was his second of the game.

That produced a tie which rookie Don Mossi preserved through sev- scoreless innings while yielding mly three hits. Red Sox hurler Bill Kinder also came into the game the 10th nning, and, after he was removed tar a pinch runner in the 14th, Sid Hudson pitched the remaining two. The Indians got all their runs on comers by Avila, Al Rosen and Larry Doby. Mike Garcia, who pitched the first eight yielded six hits, which produced all the runs made by the Red Sox. Avila drove the Indians to a 1-0 lead with a home run in the first inning.

In the bottom half of the frame, doubles by Jim Piersall and Tec Williams tied the score. Rosen broke the tie in the third with a 400-foot wallop into center field bleachers, his 18th homer of the season. Then Ted Lepcio homered for two Red Sox runs in the fourth after Harry Agganis had walked It was Lepcio's eighth of the sea son. Willard Nixon, who pitched nine innings for Boston, served a homer to Doby in the fifth that made i 3-3. Doby also has 16 hom run: for the season.

Two unearned Boston runs, aided by one of Rosen's three errors came in the eighth. Nixon singlec and made second on a wild throw by Rosen of Piersall's roller. Then after Ted Williams was intentionally passed, Nixon came in on Sammy White's sacrifice fly to center, and Piersall scored when Jackie Jensen singled. Avila's second homer, after A Smith had walked, gave him a sea son total of eight. Ray Narleski pitched for the In dians in the ninth and gave up two hits.

Eleven hits were scored by both clubs, but the Indians had four er rors to none for Boston. The Red Sox, who stand in fifth place, 23 games behind the leader have lost 11 of 13 games to Cleveland this year. Art Houtteman hurls for Cleveland today, in the second of a three game series. Houtteman, who has a 9-5 record, faces Rom Brewer, who has 6-5.

ST.PAUL, Minn OB If the weather, golfing "form" and Sam Snead's stiff neck all react properly, a new golf attendance record may come out of the 36th PGA Championship, starting today on the tiny, parklike Keller course. On the basis of advance ticket sales and enthusiasm shown by St. Paul fans for previous pro tournaments at Keller, PGA officials already have predicted an attendance of about 50,000 for the seven- day run of the show. But all the doubtful elements will to work out in just the right way.

The PGA record of 53,000 was set in the upset-ridden 1947 championship at Detroit's Plum Hollow Club. This could turn out to be another just like the favorites going out in droves during the first two rounds of match Play. But some rain at the right time and a sudden improvement in Snead's painfully stiff neck could make it an entirely different kind of show. The sun-baked Keller course, stretched out to the absolute limit at 6,652 yards, would become two or three strokes harder if softened by rain. That would make if into a reasonably good test of golf instead of a drive'-and-wedge layout where almost anyone can shoot a low score.

Snead, a three-time PGA champion who is very popular here, figures to be one of the biggest drawing cards in the field of 135 top playing and "club" professionals. But after shooting a 63 iri practice a few days ago, Snead again was afflicted by the painfully stiff neck which has bothered him all summer. Instead of practicing yesterday, he consulted the University of Minnesota sought osteopathic treatment. He really was hurting and was fearful of some sort of an injury to a spinal disc, but said he intended to play if possible. PAIRINGS for the event will be announced today.

Giants Hike Loop Lead With 2-1 Win In 13th CINCINNATI Johnny Antonelli, New York Giant southpaw, has the old whammy on the Cincinnati Reds. In the last 40 innings, he has allowed the Reds only two earned runs and his 14 victories this season include a quartet over the Cin- cinnatians.

The latest example of hhs mound magic came yesterday when he sweltered through 13 innings of ball in 100-plus weather, pitching the New Yorkers to a i-l victory over the Reds. The Red run came on big Ted Kluszewski's 25th homer of the year, which he slammed into the bleachers in the fifth inning. That almost looked as if it would stand up. But the Giants, who have not lost two in a row since Brooklyn beat them May 29-30, knotted the game PONY League in the eighth. And AntoneiH the Reds.

The Giants stretched their advantage over Brooklyn to seven. games, their longest lead of tiM year. Brooklyn lost in 10 innings in Chicago 3-2. St. Louis defeated Philadelphia 4-2 in the only other National League action.

Beitner Brinker Team i Tips Weaver Motors Weaver Motors used three pitchers in an effort to stem the tide against the Beitner-Brinker Indians yesterday but the Redskins came through with a 5 1 victory and clinched at least a tie for second place in the final league standings. With the Kiwanis Tigers already having grabbed the league pennant, the Indians were playing only for second place and took a 5-0 lead before Bill Ankney gave up a run in the top of the sixth. Bob Page started or. the mound for the Motors and was relieved by Joe Demaree who was tagged with.the four-run rally by the Indians in the fifth.

Page was given the loss with Ankney getting the win. It was the fifth straight triumph for the Redskins, who' were led at the plate- by Len Margletta who had two hits including an inside-the-park homer.

NEW YORK OP) Casey Stengel is as crazy as a fox and twice as sly. Talking to newspapermen before last night's game with Chicago, the New York Yankee manager spied Whitey Ford, his ace southpaw. "You want to know who is the best left-hander in the league?" he asked.

"That feller (Billy) 'Pierce with the White Sox. He's better than my feller. Sure I picked my feller to pitch the All-Star Game. But that was only because the other feller had just recovered from a sore arm. But the other feller is better." Ford undoubtedly heard every word.

A few moments later he arose and began throwing warmup pitches. About 2Vz hours later, he walked off the field with a neat eight-hitter, after pitching the Yankees to a 4-1 victory over Chicago that kept the Yankees hot on the heels of the Cleveland Indians. Reached in the clubhouse later, Ford declined an invitation to take issue with Stengel but admitted he was determined to show his manager that he was a pretty good pitcher too. The 24-year-old ex-serviceman turned in one of his best efforts of the year last night. He struck out five and walked only two as he posted his ninth victory against only one loss against the White Sox since he entered in 1950.

Second, he was looking down on the ground after each pitch, instead of keeping his eye on the batter. Third, he was not following through his his curve ball.

Third baseman Chuck Harmon was placed between third and home. Gus Bell and Bob Borkowski roamed the outfield by themselves.
