10 — ANAHEIM (Cal.) BULLETIN Wednesday, May 5, 1954 Elks Cop Anaheim Bulletin Trophy By Blasting Artesia Reform, 13-7 The 1954 Anaheim Bulletin Pre-Season Softball Tournament was history last night as the heavy hitting Elks team proceeded to convert 12 hits and 8 walks into 13 big runs. All this was accomplished in six short innings—short, that is, to the Elks. Artesia Christian Reform team found the innings agonizingly long as they fell 13-3. Things looked good for the Artesia nine in the first inning. They had rolled up three runs on four hits. Meanwhile the Elks had picked up two runs on one hit to take some of the edge off, but Artesia went into the second leading, 3-2. And there it stood until the third stanza, the Elks picking up a hit in the second. In the Elks' half of the third they clouted out five hits for five runs. The best Artesia could do was a lone hit. Artesia's chances did a fade out at this point. In the next inning the Elks picked up two hits and three more runs while the losers were blanked. The fifth saw Artesia outhit the Elks, two to one as neither team managed to score. Behind 10-3, Artesia's players were finally beginning to lose their starch. The sixth and final inning saw the Elks bear down with two hits and three more runs while Artesia failed to hit and failed to score. Despite the 12 Elk hits, the 8 bases on balls allowed by Artesia pitcher F. Boogerd contributed a great deal to the game's outcome. John Vuksonovich, Elk hurler, allowed only one walk but did allow seven hits. Two things seem to have cast the Elks in the role of victors in the tourney. The first is heavy hitting, the Elks managing to blast most of their opposing pitchers off the mound. The second is steady pitching. The Elks haven't hurled a poor game during the tourney. Still another factor might be all around team spirit. In any case, the Elks have won to have the distinction of coping the three-foot trophy two years in a row. Under the rules any team accomplishing this feat has but to win once again at any time in the future to keep the Bulletin trophy permanently. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Elks powerhouse do just this next year. At least they'll be gunning for it and it'll take a strong club to shut the door on them. | Elks | AB | R | H | Artesia Reform | AB | R | H | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Walker, 2b | 0 | 2 | 0 | J.

THE HILL & HILL COMPANY, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Colonist Baseballers Drop Game to Newport Beach, 2-0 Coach John Wallin's Colonist baseballers dropped a game yesterday afternoon to Newport Beach in the latter's diamond, 2-0. It was a tough one to lose considering the fact that the locals were certainly not outplayed during the contest. AUHS hurler, Don Leigh, continued his fine pitching, tossed a two batter and was supported by sound ball playing in both the infield and outfield. Anaheim managed the hits, fairly well spaced out through the game. But still the Colonists lost. Coach Wallin was visibly dissatisfied with the officiating and sent more time trotting out on the field in this one game than in the previous games lumped together. The first Newport run, which occurred in the bottom of the fourth is an excellent example of the questionable umpiring. With one day, the Newport crew had a man first and a man on third when their batter knocked a low dribble to Leigh on the mound. Leigh played it smart and looked the runner on third right back to third, then tussed to first. Bob Loustau took the toss five or six steps ahead of the runner to make the out. The runner on third broke as the Colonists hoped he would. Southpaw Loustau stepped off the bag to make the toss to home and then it happened. The runner headed for first ran out and caught Loustau's arm preventing the throw. Having read the rulebook, Coach Wallin decided to walk out on the field and inform the umpps. Neither official had seen the play, it turned out Of course, the fact that neither ump is supposed to take their eyes off the ball didn't seem to bother them. Wallin was a mile miffed. The second run came in the bottom of the sixth. With the bases loaded the Newport lads put the squeeze on twice in a row but couldn't quite make it click on the alert Colonists. Then they bunted and the second run was chalked up. No matter how you look at it it was a tough one to lose, but, as Wallin says, "They won the ball game and that's that."

Charley Dressen's boys only got no earned runs, but beat the batted Seattle Rainiers, 7-1, while Hollywood downed San Diego, 5-3, put the Oaks a half game ahead in the Padres. Oakland scored all of its runs in the fourth inning on a pair of angles, six walks and an error as their batter knocked a low dribble to Leigh on the mound. Leigh played it smart and looked the runner on third right back to third, then tussed to first. Bob Loustau took the toss five or six steps ahead of the runner to make the out.
