THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 80, 1981 PAGE FTVE G-BURG TEAM STARTS PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR Plans for the 1962 season were begun by the Gettysburg team of the South Penn Baseball League at a dinner given the squad Tuesday evening at the VFW Home by this year's sponsors, the VFW, Varsity Diner and Goldsmith Roofers. An executive committee was and includes Patrick Me- Dermitt, George Grawe, Wayne Asper and Roy Goldsmith Jr. The squad members elected Ted Orner and Gary Fair as their representative on the committee. Orner was selected president and Fair secretary. A field manager for 1962 will be appointed later.

However, the players chose Orner and Duane Miller as coaches to assist the manager and picked Richard Decker as captain for 1962. HONOR SHIELDS Tom Shields, catcher, was chosen as the most valuable player during the past season. Selection of a most valuable player will become an annual affair and a trophy will be presented to the player. A discussion on ways to raise money during the winter months was held. It was decided to seek additional team sponsors.

Players, as well as members of the of the executive committee, will also start immediately to seek sponsors for uniforms which will be white with blue and gold trim. Names of sponsors will appear on the back of the shorts. Robert Gilbert was named as Church Slow Pitch taague St. Francis advanced to the title game in the post-season playoffs by eliminating the Presbyterians 16-12 Tuesday evening.

REDS, BRAVES, BUMS, CARDS WIN TUESDAY By ED WILKS Associated Press Sports Writer There was no pennant fever among the Cincinnati Reds or tfieir in early season, but things weren't so black that Manager Fred Hutchinson was without" hope. "We could do all right," said Hutch, "if we could get some Ditching.

We need it, because we don't scflre many runs." That will give you some idea of just how much of a surprise learn the Reds are in that National League race. Not only are they second in run totals--610 to San F'rancisco's 627--but the pitching staff leads the league in shutouts. RALSTON IS SUSPENDED BY TENNIS GROUP By ED CORRIGAN Associated Press Sports Writer FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP) Dennis Ralston, one of. the main hopes to bring the elusive Davis Cup back to the United States, was back in the United States Lawn Tennis Association's doghouse today.

And there appeared to be a division of opinion on just how long he'll stay in the kennel. The 19-year-old Bakersfield, ace, Tuesday was suspended by the USLTA for "bad conduct." The immediate result was that he became ineligible for the national championships starting here on Friday. PRIMARY CAUSE George Barnes, president of the USLTA, issued a formal statement pinpointing Ralston's antics in the American Zone final against Mexico in Cleveland two weeks ago as the primary cause of the suspension. Ralston already had been placed on a year's probation for acting up in Australia last year. Significantly, however, Barnes did not place any time limit on the suspension.

This led some observers to believe that when Ralston is hauled in for a full hearing on Sept. 8, his banishment from the nationals may be considered sufficient punishment. "After said 'one top official, "getting to the challenge round means about $25,000 to the USLTA. If Ralston needed to help us get there, I can't see them making the suspension stick." Barns' statement did not mention the i i violations charged to Ralston, the nation's No. 3 ranked player.

BIRD MANAGER QUITS TO TAKE HOUSTON POST LOS ANGELES (AP) Paul Richards, heading for a five-year term as general manager of the National League's new Houston club, said (today he will go along with the Baltimore Orioles if and when they ask hurt to finish out the current season. Richards, who took over the helm of the Orioles in 1954 after leaving the Chicago White Sox, announced his resignation as Orioles' field manager just before the club's doubleheader here with the Angels. The announcement came as no surprise. It was rumored for several weeks he was considering an attractive offer from Houston, which begins play in an expanded National League next season. AGREED TO DEMANDS Richards, announcing he was resigning, said the contract with Houston had not been finalized but that Houston officials had agreed to his general demands.

"I have asked that three additional conditions be included in the contract and as yet the Houston people haven't agreed to them," he said. A spokesman for the new Texas team, however, seemed fairly certain Richards and the club could get together "We should have an announcement within 48 hours if Richards is relieved from his contract at Baltimore," the spokesman said. Contacted in New York, Joseph Iglehart. Orioles' board chairman, said he intended to ask Richards to remain with the Orioles until the season is completed. "I'm sure he will," Iglehart said.

Informed of this, Richards said he would stay with Baltimore if requested to do so.

A record crowd of 30,000 was expected for American harness racing's foremost classic, with $131.573 in prize money. The opening heat starts at 2 p.m. EST. The crown, and first prize of $77,364, will go to the first trotter to win two mile heats on the one- mile oval at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.

Most drivers were prepared for more than two heats because of the speed already shown this year by the majority of the entrants. DRIVEN BY SIMPSON Most of the trainer-drivers consider Caleb, Matastar and Duke Rodney the horses to beat. Caleb drew the No. 1 starting position, next to the rail in the first tier of 10 horses. Caleb will be driven by John Simpson, who drove Hickory Smoke to a Ham- bletonian victory in 1957.

Matastar, driven by veteran Harry Pownall, also won a rail position, directly behind Caleb, in the second tier of three horses. Duke Rodney, driven by Eddie Wheeler, drew the eighth position in the front tier.

The tennis players got a jump on the rest of the more than 1,000 athletes by starting their crowded tournament schedule a day before Tuesday's stirring opening ceremony. Ten track and field events, including four for the girls, were secheduled to get going at 10:30 a.m.

EST. TWO U.S. GIRLS ENTER The Americans have only two girls in track and field but they intend to try for a flock of medals. Carole Kaufman, a co-ed from Queens College of New York, has entered eight of the nine individual events, passing up only the 800-meter run. Judy Shapiro, a shapely Californian from Tujunga, has entered the 200, 800, and javelin throw.

In the men's field, Gary Gubner, New York U's 19-year-old strong man, opened his bid for a discus, shot-put, weight-lifting triple. In the 100 and 200 meter sprints, the United States was expected to score heavily with Jonas Angeles, of Richmond. Va Steve Bobbins of the U. of Arizona and Los Angeles, and Stan Freed of Temple.

He tied Baltimore's Steve Barber for the major league shutout lead with this oft- and replaced Yankee Whitey Ford as the AL strikeout leader by fanning nine, three times putting a called third strike past Mickey Mantle.

Despite the defeat, the Yanks retained a edge over Detroit as the Chicago White Sox ended the second place Tigers' winning streak at five, 4-3. The Los Angeles Angels swept a pair of 6-5 decisions from Baltimore, taking the second in 11 innings. Cleveland defeated Washington 6-4 and Boston beat Kansas City 8-4. BECAME A FATHER Pascual, who became a first- time poppa earlier in the day, put away his fifth career shutout over the Yankees with a flourish. He struck out Bobby Richardson and Tony Kubek in the ninth, but Roger Maris was safe on a two- base error.

Pascual then fanned Mantle for the final out. That extended his shutout streak through 20 innings and gave him 179 strikeouts. Mantle was l-for-4 and his 46- home run total leaves him just one game ahead of Babe Ruth's record 60 pace in 1927. Maris, o-for-3, is eight games ahead of Ruth with his 51. Ralph Terry (11-2) was the loser, after winning six in a row.

An unearned run in the third, on Lenny Green's single, and error and Billy Martin's sacrifice fly, ended Terry's shutout string at 24 1-3 innings. Earl Battey's two- run double wrapped it up in the sixth. BLOW 24 LEAD The Tigers, who had won 10 of 11, blew a 2-0 lead and then booted away the game behind Frank Lary (19-7) when the White Sox broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh on a single by winning right-hander Ray Herbert (9-12) and two errors. The telling was by Chico Fernandez, who had batted in two Detroit runs. Rocky Colavito of the Tigers went without an RBI for the first time in 10 games, falling one shy of the AL record.

Jim Gentile belted his 41st and 42nd home runs for the Orioles in the opener, but the Angels took it on a squeeze bunt by winner Ryne Duren (6-11) in the sixth inning. Home runs by Joe Koppe and Steve Bilko then brought the Angels from behind in the llth inning of the second game and gave the victory to Eli Grba (8-JP in relief. Barber (15-10) and Billy Hoeft (44) were the losing pitchers. COME FROM BEHIND The Indians came from behind at Washington with six runs in the seventh, five unearned. Bob Allen (3-0) was the winner and Mike Garcia (0-1) the loser, both an relief.

The Red Sox also won with a six-run rally, over-hauling the burg on ihe junior high schedule and will be met at Carlisle on October 12. Shippensburg recently announced it was dropping junior high football. LIGHT HEAVY CHAMP BEATS EDDIE COTTON HAROLD CLAASSEN Associated Press Sports Writer SEATTLE (AP) Harold Johnson, still the world lightheavy- weight boxing champion after 15 bruising rounds against Eddie Cotton, started a two-month vacation today by visiting the naval base where he fought his first pro fight in 1943 while a United States sailor. Johnson, the Philadelphia boxing master, retained his NBA title Tuesday night by a split decision over Cotton, a Seattle tool and die maker long reach troubled the champion throughout the bout. SECOND DEFENSE It was Johnson's second successful defense of the crown he won earlier this year by knocking out Jess Bowdry.

It was his fourth fight in seven months and it brought him the greatest purse, a check for $20,000, in his 18 years of boxing. That combination decided Johnson, who weighed 173 to the challenger's 170, to take a vacation. He started his ring career at nearby Bremerton, early in World War II. Johnson's right brought an egg- sized lump over Cotton's left eye in the eighth round and a cut in the lid of his right eye during the ninth By the time the thirteenth came round, Cotton's left eye was closed but his sticking left jab kept him out of real danger. NO KNOCKDOWNS There were no knockdowns in the bout that received neither radio nor television treatment and drew 4,004 spectators to Seattle's Pacific Coast League baseball park Receipts were estimated at $32,000.

"He's one of the smartest boxers I've ever met," said Johnson of Cotton, who was rated No. 4 among the contenders after whipping Johnny Halafihi and Mike Holt in New Zealand after 13 years of obscurity in the Seattle area. "I'd like to meet Johnson again," murmured Cotton as his handlers held ice packs to his eyes in the dressing room. "It would be another good fight." At the end, Judge Norman Kunde and referee James Rondeau had it 147-145 for Johnson, while Judge Sam Heller voted for Cotton, 148-144. The AP card favored Johnson, 148-143.

OTOOLE CITES REASONSFOR14 WINS THIS YEAR By MURRAY CHASS PITTSBURGH (AP) Jim O'TooIe can't be blamed for trying too hard, but it nearly cost the Cincinnati pitcher his 14th vtictory. O'Toole's efforts in two situations Tuesday night turned into brief moments of anxiety for the young southpaw in the 3-0 victory against Pittsburgh. The triumph enabled the league-leading Reds to keep their lead over Los Angeles. The first incident occurred in the sixth inning after the Pirates loaded the bases with the aid of two walks. Catcher Hal Smith, with two outs, boomed a high fly ball toward the left-centerfield wall.

AGAIN IN NINTH "I got a little careless maybe because I was trying too hard," O'Toole said after the game. "I wanted to get the ball down and in on Smith, but I got it too much over the plate instead. Lucky for me, he didn't pull the ball. It was hit deep, but then I saw Vada (Pinson) go over there and was pretty sure he would catch it." Pinson did just that, but he couldn't get much closer to the wall. Then in the ninth, O'Toole was within one out of gaining his shutout when Bill Mazeroski blooped a single to center.

Pinch hitter Smoky Burgess hit a ground-rule double into the rightfield stands. Up stepped Bill Virdon. "I was trying to keep the ball away from him so he couldn't hit it out of the park," O'Toole explained, "and I walked him. Although I do think the umpire missed a pitch or two." TIRED At that point. Manager Fred Hutchinson lifted O'Toole for Jim Maloney.

'I wasn't tired. In fact, I thought I had good stuff," the 24- year-old star said. "Actually I could've been out of the inning on Smoky's fly ball. I think the wind played tricks on it. Otherwise, I think it would have been an easy out.

"But Hutch has made real good decisions this year so I can't complain about him taking me out. I had thrown a lot of pitches and Hutch knew it." "Hutch's" decision in this case proved all right as Maloney fanned pinch hitter Rocky Nelson. That gave O'Toole his 14th triumph against nine defeats and the Reds their eighth victory in 16 meetings with the Pirates. FRIEND SUFFERS 17TH The Reds scored an unearned run in the sixth on singles by Pinson, Jerry Lynch and Gordon Coleman. An error by Bill Virdon accompanied Lynch's safety.

In the eighth, the Reds scored twice Frank Robinson knocked in one run with a triple and scored on an infield out. Pittsburgh's Bob Friend suffered his 17th setback. He has 12 victories. Tonight Tom Sturdivant (3-D goes for the Pirates against Cincinnati's Bob Purkey (14-9). The following 1961 open seasons and bag for wild waterfowl in Pennsylvania were announced by the Game Commission in Harrisburg today: The season on ducks and coots will start October 21 and end December 9.

The season for geese and brant will open October 11 and close December except in Crawford County where the goose and brant season will coincide with the duck season. The shoot hours on October 21 will be 12 o'clock noon, EST, to sunset and on October 28. opening day of the small game season, 8 a.m. EST, to sunset. On all other days of the waterfow season the shooting hours are sunrise to sunset, mot one-hall hour before sunrise to sunset as in past).

The daily bag limit for geese (except snow geese) is two and the possession limit after the first day is four. The daily anc possession limit for brant is 10 The daily bag limit for ducks is. two and the possession limit after the first day is four, except that the daily bag and possession limit may include only one wood duck and one hooded merganser.

Wildfowlers are remined that so long as a person has one wood duck or hooded merganser in his possession--anywhere--he may not include one of the same species in a subsequent bag. The daily bag and possession limit of coots is six. SEPARATE LIMIT American and red-breasted mergansers are not included in the bag limits for other ducks.

TI.ey have a separate bag limit of five a day or 10 in possession, either singly or in the aggregate. Shooting dates, hours and limits for migratory birds are set within the framework established by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Because of the continued drought in the primary duck production areas and lower duck populations as compared to some previous years, the shooting hours and bag limits for ducks in 1961 are more restrictive than last year.

Populations of Canada geese have continued at near peak levels, hence the liberal season for these birds. Waterfowl hunters in the Keystone State are required to own and wear a Pennsylvania hunting license and to purchase and carry a federal migratory bird hunting stamp. The S3 "duck stamp," available at most post offices, is not required in the hunting of sora, rails, gallinules, woodcock, Wilson's or jacksnipe and doves. SHOTGUN RULES Federal migratory bird regulations prohibit the use of any shotgun capable of holding more than three shells, including semiautomatic and hand-operated repeating shotguns. The shotgun plug must be of a type it cannot be removed without disassembling the gun.

Shotguns used in taking any migratory fowl may not be larger than 10 gauge. Rifles may not be used in taking migratory game birds, but such birds may be taken through the use of bow and arrow. Other regulations in hunting waterfowl and migratory g-me birds prohibit the use of any electrical device or recording, live bird decoys, automobile, aircraft, sinkbox, power boat, sailboat, or any device towed by either. Injured or dead waterfowl may be picked up by means of a motorboat, sailboat, or other craft, however. Shooting is permitted from a boat or other craft having a motor attached it such craft is fastened within or tied immediately alongside of any type of stationary blind.

Waterfowl, coots, gallinules and doves may not be taken under any circumstances by the aid of salt, or bait such as shelled or shucked or unshucked corn, wheat or other grains or other feed. There is no open season on canvasback and redhead ducks, snow geese and swans. The 1961 waterfowl seasons are same all over Pennsylvania. They differ from those of recent years, when waterfowl hunting seasons for the Counties of Bucks, Philadelphia and Delaware, and on the Delaware River bordering hese counties, conformed with the New Jersey seasons. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is engaged in an intensive development program for waterfowl in Crawford County and, in order to permit the goose population to build up, the goose season in Crawford County will not open prior to the duck season.
