Hornets Down Pirates, 10-6 FULLERTON — OCNS — It will be quite a long while before baseball fans forget the exciting ball game played yesterday afternoon on the Hornet diamond. It wasn't the fact that Fullerton emerged the winner, nor was it the fact that it was their third straight conference victory. The memorable event seemed to be that the Yellow Jackets had just knocked off the loop-leading Orange Coast Pirates in a rousing contest, 10-6. Two weeks ago, Fullerton was deeply entrenched in the conference's cellar. They began the trail by knocking over the second-place team, Chaffey. They followed that with a victory over third-place Riverside. Yesterday, the Hornets took on the champs and beat them, although outfit, 14-7. Dick Gonzales started on the mound for the winners and turned in his outstanding game of the year. It was especially gratifying for Gonzales as the majority of the opposition were his teammates at Anaheim High School. Gonzales blanked the Pirates for the first three innings, then was nicked for four hits and three scores. He worked for three more innings, contributing a powerful double that was within inches of being a homer over the left field fence. Score by innings: Orange Coast 003 001 101—6-14 Fullerton 000 400 60x-7-4 Colonist Courtmen Edged by Saints By FRED FISCHLE JR. Anabeim Colonist racketmen almost pulled a tremendous upset yesterday on the Colonist courts. The Anabeim netmen met the Santa Ana Saints, who have now won their tenth straight match, only to be edged by a 5-4 score. With the score tied 4-4, the pressure was on freshman Steve Morris. Morris, playing fourth singles, couldn't quite win the third set, losing it 6-3. Single men Mike Bouck and Merle Meyer won their matches easily, both winning 6-2, 6-1, while Don Lee and Gary Bonner, playing doubles, won 8-6, 6-4. First singles Barry Ryan lost his match in three sets, 6-1, 4-6, 6-1. Junior Varsity captain Dave Turner was the only victor for Anaheim as the Jayvee lost 8-1. ANAHEIM Score SANTA ANA Singles D.

But when the pressure was on he settled down most of the time. Roy Weaver got a single and triple while Grover injured and doubled for the winners to pass the Colonist batsmen. It was Roy Weaver single that started local scoring efforts in the opinion. With Weaver on first, B. Loustau sacrificed him to second and Lupe Gonzales batted him in. In the third, Grover singled and Weaver sacrificed him to second and he romped home on a Safety error. With two away in the fourth, an Storey singled and Grover followed with his double. Weaver thru tripled to bring them both in. Los Stau managed another single to bring Weaver home. In the sixth Weaver got back on the bases again, this time on catcher's error. Weaver struck out and the catcher dropped the ball Weaver got to first before he catcher could recover. Loustau walked and Joe Avila knocked out a single to bring Weaver around for his third run of the day. A nice double play featured defensive efforts of the Colonists The first Saint up in the third, W degriff walked. Grover struck next batter for the initial call Santa Ana's Foster hit to Avila who fired to Gonzales who tossed to Loustau. If there had been no more runners around, the Colonists would probably have nailed them too. PITCHING By * Carl Hubbell from the book "How to Play" published by The Sporting News Chapter 9 CLOSING SUGGESTIONS You have to go along gradually. For the first three days do not throw hard, or throw curves. Loosen up—run—play pepper games. After a week, try spinning a few curves, but do not snap the curve for ten days. After a few years a boy gets to know his arm, and realizes that if he treats it properly in the beginning, and once gets it into good shape, then it is actually difficult to harm that arm. It may become weary with extra work and lose its snap, but it will not be damaged. If it is wrong to throw at the start of training, then it is especially forbidden to throw in the off-season. Don't throw at all in the winter. Rest you arm; it deserves a rest. Do not go in for exercise such as weight-lifting because that will overdevelop muscles which are not needed in pitching and which can get in the way and cramp pitching style. Use your legs and not your arm in the off-season. In fact, use and train your legs all the time, because legs are the key to the length of a player's career. You don't have to train your legs get out of practice, then those legs will fall out of the habit, and will not last long. In closing, I want to stress again the qualities of patience and confidence. You must have both, because pitching is not easy and cannot be rushed. Time and again in our farm system we are conscious of those two virtues, because young pitchers so often lose one or the other. One youngster may have a good year in Class C, for instance, and he will conclude he is ready for the big leagues. He wants to go right up to the majors, and skip the natural course of development, physically and mentally, which will fit him for the best baseball. Another youngster may have a poor year in the minors and assume he will never make it, and tell us in disgust that he is going to quit. But we may prize that boy as one of our finest prospects. When things go real good for you, have patience to continue learning, and when the walked and Joe Avilla knocked a single to bring Weaver around for his third run of the day. A nice double play featured defensive efforts of the Colonies. The first Saint up in the third, W. degriff walked. Grover struck the next batter for the initial Santa Ana's Foster hit to Avila who fired to Gonzales who tossed to Loustau. If there had been more runners around, the Colonists would probably have nailed them too. Next game for Anaheim is Tu day at Huntington Beach. SPORTS NEW YORK (UP)—There seem to be some question among the ports as to whether Branch Rickh who "made" the Cardinals and Dodgers, is saving baseball Pittsburgh, but there's no doubt he's saving money. When the Pirates mailed out the 1954 year books they were in envelopes left over from 1951 Emblazoned on the front of envelope in large letters is news: "Here is your 1951 base book." Maybe that's wishful thinking, cause on this date in 1951 the rates were in fourth place, here they are buried in the coal already. Ben Hogan has been installed as the favorite for the U.S. Golf Championship at Baltu Golf Club, Springfield, N.J., J 17-19, but Sam Snead is hope that finally he will break the which has ruined him so often. Not Concerned There are those who would like to bring Weaver around for his third run of the day. A nice double play featured defensive efforts of the Colonies. The first Saint up in the third, W. degriff walked. Grover struck the next batter for the initial Santa Ana's Foster hit to Avila who fired to Gonzales who tossed to Loustau.

The mark was two full seconds up the world record of 4:01.4 set by Gunder Haegg of Sweden in Saint Jayvees Topple Colonists, 3-1 Santa Ana Jayvees proved themselves to be the best team in the league as they completed a clean sweep of the second round of play by putting the well greased skids under the Colonist Jayvees, 3-1. It was just a case of too much pitching or too little hitting as the Colonists were held to two-scratch hits and ten of them went down on strikes. Carter, Saint pitcher, was wild but always settled down with men on and retired the side. Only in the bottom of the second inning were the AUHS boys able to dent home plate as Gary Conk got his first hit of the year, stole second and came on to score as Carter gave up three straight walks. Nine Colonists died for lack of crucial base hits. The only bright spot of the game for the Colonists was that they swiped seven bases to show great improvement in that department. Paul Morris started his first game of the year for the Colonists but had to be rescued with two on and no outs in the fourth inning. Bob Scholz came on and retired the side on three pitches with a double play infield out. Scholz however picked up the loss as he was hit for three times and two runs in the top of the fifth. York had to rescue Carter in the bottom of the seventh with tying runs on.

Phones KE 5-2158—KE Founded June 20, 1921 Solons Drop to Third in PCL Chase; San Diego Tops Hollywood Stars, 2-1 SAN FRANCISCO — The Sacramento Solons, astounded to find themselves atop the Pacific Coast League standings, took a step back last night to admire the view and fell into third place. The surprising Sacs lost out to all people, the San Francisco Seals 4.2 and found themselves a game off the pace as Oakland and San Diego posted victories. The Oaks, now sole occupants of the top drawer, had to battle 10 innings to down the Seattle Rainiers 8-7. San Diego, behind the seven hit pitching of Eddie Erautt, edged Hollywood 2-1. Los Angeles, fighting off a bid by the Stars for the first division, nipped the Portland Beavers 2-1. Elmer Singleton posted the San Francisco win by besting Chet Johnson. The win was the third of the year for Singleton and only the ninth win for the San Francisco club. Oakland kept hold of first place when Russ Rose dropped a squeeze bunt in front of the plate to bring home Gene Hermanski with the second Oakland run of the extra frame. Seattle had earlier lost the advantage when Oakland scored three in the seventh and two in the eighth. Then the Suds squeezed home a tally in the top of the 10th and the Oaks borrowed the tactic in the bottom of the frame. Allen Gettel got his fifth win of the year after going in as reliever in the ninth. George Schmees and starting pitcher Tommy Byrne clouted home runs for the losers. Tommy Brown, Los Angeles third baseman, powered his third home run of the year in the eighth frame to give the Angels a tight win over Portland. Sheldon Jones was the beneficiary of the Brown blast and posted the win, holding the Beavers to three hits. The Angels collected nine blows off Bill Boemler and Dewey Adkins, but were able to do no better than a 1-1 tie until Brown hammered his homer. Bob Hall of Hollywood also turned in a three hit job, but lost to Erautt in another 2-1 duel. Erautt laid down a perfect bunt to bring home the bacon in the form of San Diego's second run in the fifth inning. Lee Walls hit a home run for the Stars in the top of the ninth but there was nobody aboard. It was their first win of the series for the Padres who have been feeling the wrath of the carrushing Hollywood club. The win kept Los Angeles within a game and a half of the top and put two games between the Angels and the third place Stars.
