Roebuck Leaves
Dodgers as Mother
Has Surgery Here

BROOKLYN. Sept. 6 (P.-The
Dodgers. trailing by two games
in the National League pennant
race will face the Giants in the
opener Of a four-game series
with Ed Roebuck probably
missing from the bullpen.
The teams No. 2 relief man
left for Washington, D. c., after
last nights 4-3 decision over
Pittsburgh to be at the bedside
Of his mother, who underwent
a serious operation. There was
doubt he would be back by to-
night.
Catcher Roy Campanella also
may be missing. He suffered a
bruised knuckle on his right
index finger from a foul tip last
night. X-rays were scheduled
today.
About the only cheering note
Manager Walt Aston had to
consider was a vote of confidence
from Vice President Buzzy Bavasi,
who said Aston will be back as
manager next season, win or
lose.

80. and Baltimore, SO. He has
won his last five starts, going
the distance in each.
Much of Chuck's success stems
from pinpoint accuracy. He
passed only one last night and
that was Intentional, and he has
walked only eight in his last five
games.

The Senator's today make their
final appearance here until Sep

shutout victories for the Sena-
tors, or since Ted Abernathy
blanked Detroit, lie, last Sep
TENDER IL, and Connie johnson
was a luckless victim in the
process.
He matched Stobbs' effective
ness for seven innings, but with
two out in the eighth Ed Yost
singled to center and Whitley
Herzog popped a double to left
which fell inches inside the foul
line. Pete Runnels then beat out
a hit to deep short. scoring
both runners as Herzog put on
q burst of speed to beat First
Baseman Bob Boyd's throw to
the plate.
Runnels collected three of the
seven Washington hits and
walked in his other appearance.
He now has a string of five
straight hits.
Stobbs yielded singles to Boyd
and George Kell in the first
inning. Dick Williams beat out
a scratch single with none out

record would indicate.
In closing ground last night.
the Dodgers got only five hits off
Ron Kline and Elroy Face but
pushed over the winning run on
Jackie Robinson's squeeze bunt
in the sixth. A wild pitch set it
up. Duke Snider reclaimed the
league homer lead, breaking a
tie with Frank Robinson with
his S8th, two-run poke. Gil
Hodges hit his 26th. It was
Snider's first In nine games,
Hodges first in 10.
Sal Maglie won his ninth. but
the Pirates, who haven't beaten
the Barber since April 81, 1858,
chased him with a run in the
ninth. Don Bessent came on to
fan Jack Shepard for the final
out-nailing Maglie's 26th VIC
tory in 80 lifetime decisions with
Pittsburgh.
AL Dark, with three of the
Cardinals six hits off Bob Rush,
drove in both runs and broke 1t
up with a single. Herm Web
meier, tagged for Walt Moryn's
21st homer that tied it in the
seventh, won his ninth.
A pinch single by Hank
Thompson won for the Giants
who started their $65,000 bonus
kid. Mike Mccormick. The IT.

and failed to last two innings.

ming. He was the only Baltimore
player to reach base in the last
six innings. Stobbs retired Is in
q row before Johnson singled,
then got the next six.
NOTES: Roy Sievers made a
sparkling shutdown catch of Jim
Pyburn's low drive to end the
game. Outflelder Bob Me
man, who has mauled Washing
ton pitching, missed the game
with a bad back. :. Stobbs is
due for a stable pay boost after
his comeback from a ALA year.
The Senators will be in New
York for the week end, playing
the Yankees Friday night. Sat-
urday and Sunday. They'll
visit seven cities on their jour
ney. The crowd, meager as
it was, boosted the Senators
home attendance to 426,698, a
few hundred more than they
attracted last season.

Planning Board
Authorized By
Village Council

The first step toward establishing
plan for the future orderly devel-
opment of Bluffton was taken by vii
lage council Tuesday evening when
it authorized the establishment of a
village planning commission.
A resolution was adopted setting
up the commission as provided un-
der section 1901 of the Ohio Gener-
al Code. Mayor David L. Risser is
granted authority to appoint a FIVE
man board which is to include the
mayor, one member of council and
three other citizens of the village to
be appointed at large.
Planning and zoning have been dis
cussed at several public meetings re-
Gently, and number of individuals
and groups have urged that action
be taken.
The mayor indicated Tuesday eve
ming that one of his appointees to the
board would possibly be a woman.
