Stars Sweep Twin Bill to Take Lead in Coast League By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO - UP — The San Francisco Seals have stars in their eyes today, but the rest of the Pacific Coast League has 'em in their hair. The lowly Seals, who have been farther back in the swamp than Chloe, finally developed muscles enough to win a series, whipping the Los Angeles Angels twice yesterday for a 6-1 series victory. But the Hollywood Stars, transformed from harmless citizens into a bunch of killers, completed running through the league from eighth to first by whopping Oakland twice Sunday to take the series 6-1 and hold a game and a half lead over second place Sacramento. The Seals sent citizens dancing by taking Los Angeles 6-3 in the first Sunday game and then sneaking in a 2-1 verdict in the nightcap. Not So Subtle Hollywood was far less subtle downing Oakland 4-2 and 8-1. Seattle also came up with a double win over Portland, 8-7 in 10 innings and 3-2 in the nightcap. Only Sacramento and San Diego split the Padres winning 3-1 and the Sacs 6-2. The Seals pulled to within two games of seventh place by poking out 77 hits during the week. They got 13 in Sunday's opener to trample the Angels and then made seven hits do the same work in the short second game. Jim Moran, Seal infielder whose 47 previous hits had pushed across only three runs, slapped a single in the bottom of the seventh frame of the nightcap to drive in the run. San Francisco needed. Lee Walls and Dale Long hammered out home runs in the first game to give the Stars victory. In the second contest little Lino Donoso choked Oakland off with five hits as the Acorns contributed four errors to the Hollywood cause. One Win Only The only win of the week for the Oaks, who dived from first place to the second division as a result of their encounter with the Stars, was Allen Gettel's 21 winning victory on Wednesday night. Victory came on a single by Artie Wilson single with the bags loaded in the 10th was the big blow in the first game and Jack Tobin's two run double gave Gene Bearden the nod in the second one. San Diego scored twice in the bottom of the ninth on Dick Sisler's home run to break a 11 tie and take the first game from Sacramento. The Solons got only four hits off three Padre pitchers. In the nightcap Al Cicotte won his fifth game of the season by holding the Pads to six hits to give the Sacs a split and San Diego the series 4-3.

Y. — Samuel Jackson Snead, record-cracking victor in the unique Palm Beach Round-Robin golf tournament, headed today for Springfield, N.J., "to take a look at the course" where next month they'll be playing the tourney he really wants to win the U.S. Open. Under the Palm Beach's system of combined match and medal play resulting, in a point score, Snead wrapped up an easy triumph Sunday at the Meadowbrook course by pushing his total to 62 points. That finish, which was topped off by his five under-par 65 on the final round, set two records for the Palm Beach—1, he was the first golfer to win the title three times and 2, his margin of 38 points over runner-up Bob Toski of Northampton, Mass. was another first. And his 62-point total was just four short of the tourney record set by Bobby Locke in 1949. Played With Fever Snead accomplished these feats despite a fever, plus "the doggone miseries," of a virus, which forced him to bundle up in two sweaters despite the 78-degree temperature. Golf's reigning Masters champion from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., was jubilant about his triumph over the virus and his 15 rivals in the tourney. "I may play in the Western Open before the U.S. open." said Snead. "But U.S. Open is the one I want and, the way I'm playing, all I can say is that I'm hopeful." out 77 hits during the week.

Snead has finished second four times in the U.S. Open and never has been able to bag the first place in that classic, although he has captured virtually every other major golf title in the nation. This year the Open will be played at the Baltusrol course in Springfield. N.J., which, because of its length, is considered by many a course favoring long-ball hitters and therefore, favoring Snead. Under the Palm Beach system of scoring, each player matches his medal score against those of his three rivals on each round, adding "plus" or "minus" totals accordingly. Snead made possible his bundle of points at the end by shooting a total medal score for the five rounds of 338, a total of 12 strokes under par. $3,000 Victory Snead earned $3,000 for his victory while Loski, whose final total of points was 26, earned $1,500. The standings for the rest of the select field were: Loyd Mangrum, pus 18; Cary Middecoff, pus 16; Doug Ford, pus 14; Jackie Burke, pus 12; Peter Thomson, pus nine; Jimmy Demaret, pus seven; Earl Stewart, minus four; Gene Litter, minus five; Byron Neson, minus six; Walt Burkemo, minus ten; Ted Kroll, minus twenty; Marty Purgo, minus twenty; Tommy Bolt, minus twenty; and Porky Oiver, minus fifty. Snead went into the final round with victory all but assured. He had a total of 52 points, more than his nearest rival. What with the virus and all Sammy could have eased up. But instead his closing round 65 picked up points in an all-under-par four-some in which Thomson and Middlecoff had68each and Furgol69. Toski had a67forthesecond-best closing round and Ford had a68.

Tande, John Lam, Ken Enright and Louie Zuniga. The teams split their first two encounters by one-run margins, both registered in the seventh inning. The first game was a 1-0 win for the league leading Indians. The second game went to the Colonists, 3-2, to mark the first league loss of the season for Fullerton. The Indians are in the driver's seat as far as the Sunset League crown is concerned while Angleim is in the middle of the pack despite good ball playing and fine coaching. The Colonists are geared high for this one. Game time will be 3 p.m. at the Fullerton JC diamond. Ted Williams Collects Eight Hits But Bosox Drop Twin Bill to Tigers By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Brooklyn a 4-2 victory over Cincinnati, after which Bud Podbielian Carlson Double Winner in Local Tennis Tourney Bob Carlson won the men's singles and shared in the men's doubles crown to be the only doubles winner in the third annual A'heim Tennis Championships completed at the Anaheim City Park courts this week-end. Both finals, however, produced some of the finest competition seen on the local courts, with Carlson having to go all out to defeat last year's champion, Ronald Bordon, 6-2, 10-8. Both men earn their finals' berth the hard way, Brandon had to take several holes in the semi-finals to defeat doubles partner, Glen Lehmer, with the score of 7-5, 3-6 9-7 indicating of the terrific pressure, Carlson, by the luck of the draw faced his doubles' partner, Armstrong taking a 6-3, 3-6, decision. In the finals of the men's doubles the four semi-finalists paired with Carlson and Armstrong taking well-played 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 win over Lehmer and Brandon, Lehmer won in the semi-finals 7-5, 6-3 over Larry Harvill of Barry Ryan, with Armstrong Carlson topping Dick Hanson of Floyd Baker; 6-2, 6-2. Karen Lenain took a surprising easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Jean Williams in the girls' 18 years and under singles. Matches tween the two, who have oppo­ne another in the finals of dozen county matches, usually three sets and most of the afternoon. Both had easy semi-final wins when Miss Lenain defeated Charlene Allen 6-1, 6-3, and M Williams won over Kathleen Ha­away 6-2, 6-2. Ted Williams Collects Eight Hits But Bosox Drop Twin Bill to Tigers By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Maybe even Ted Williams won't be able to get the Red Sox out of last place. Manager Lou Boudreau said "We'll be all right when Ted gets back." But Sunday, Thumpin' Theodore returned for his first full day since he smashed his collar bone on the opening of spring training in Florida. All he did was smack two homers, a double and five singles, batting in seven runs in nine at bats. But all the Red Sox did was lose twice at Detroit, 7-6 and 9-8 in 14 innings. In the opener, when Williams cracked three singles, none was as vital as one by ex-Red Sock Matt Batts who delivered the winning run with a pinch-blow in the eighth. Williams two homers and other hits in the nightcap failed to equal the importance of a home by Ray Boone which broke up the game in the 14th inning and gave Steve Gromek his sixth victory in a relief chore. Boone also hit an earlier homer. Standoff Twin Bills It was a lovely Sunday all over the major league map, but as far as the pinnant races were concerned, all of the teams but Detroit and Cleveland might have just as well stayed on their front porches and spent a restful and relaxed Salbath. Because it was a standoff in all other double bills. Mike Garcia pitched a one-hitter for the Indians in a 6-0 second victory after they pounded out 16 hits in a 12-7 opener over the Athletics. But after the Yankees made it six wins in a row with a 2-0 triumph on Allie Reynolds' three-hitter, the Orioles rebounded for a 6-2 triumph on another three-hitter by Don Larsen. Bob Porterfield pitched Washington to a five hit 3-1 win over Chicago after Bob Keegan won his sixth game in the opener, 10-5 as Minnie Minoso with a homer, triple, and single. In the National League, Gil Hodges hit a grand slam homer, paced an 11-hit White Sox attack the 10th of his career to give Brooklyn a 4-2 victory over Cincinnati, after which Bud Podbielan out eight of his ex-mates in a 7-2 pitched a seven-hitter and struck triumph for the Reds. Chicago pounded out 17 hits to defeat Pittsburgh 12-3, then rookie Jake Thies twirled a four-hitter for his first major league win in a 5-1 Pirate triumph. Milwaukee topped the Giants in 10 innings, 3-2 as Joe Adcock drove in all three runs, then New York won a 9-2 decision as lefty Johnny Antonelli pitched a seven-hitter for his sixth win, beating his old mates with his strikeouts and no walks. St. Louis topped Philadelphia 7-3 when Solly Hemus hit a three-run triple for the key blow and the Phils led the Cardinals 6-3 in a six-inning curfew-suspended second game which will be completed tonight. One Hit Garcia Joe DeMaestris fourth-inning single was the only hit off Garcia, who walked only two batters. Al Rosen and Jim Hegan hit homers in the opener while Don Bollweil got one for the As. Rosen also homered in the nightcap. Larsen was within four puttons of a no-hitter over the Yankees when Andy Carey, who had homered in the opener, singled. Another single by Hank Bauer and a homer by Bob Cerv in the ninth gave the Yankees their runs. Vern Stephens and Les Moss had three hits apiece, Stephens getting a homer for Baltimore in the second game. Porterfield's triumph was his fourth and Pete Runnels set the pace at bat with a triple and two singles. Minos drove in six runs with his opening game hit spree in which Mickey Vernon and Roy Sievers of the Nats and Sherman Lollar of Chicago also hit homers. Hodges Grand Slams Hodges' grand-slammer put him only two behind National League record holders Ralph Kiner and Rogers Hornsby who have hit 12. Preacher Roe gained his first triumph after two defeats while Podbiean won his third game as Gus Bell paced the hitters with two singles and a double. Lefty Paul Minner gained his Floyd Baker, 6-2, 6-2. Karen Lenain took a surprising easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Jean Williams in the girls' 18 years and under singles. Matches tween the two, who have opposed one another in the finals of dozen county matches, usually three sets and most of the afternoon. Both had easy semi-final wins when Miss Lenain defeated Charlene Allen 6-1, 6-3, and Williams won over Kathleen Hailey away 6-2, 6-2. Later in the afternoon, Jean Williams took the title in the mid-doubles when she teamed with Floyd Baker to defeat her mother Melva Williams, and Dick Hinson, 7-5, 7-5. Miss Williams won her semi-final round from Miss Lenain and Bob Hinson, 6-3, 6-0 in a match that much closer than the score would indicate. Mrs. Williams and Hanley took the round of four from Plynn and Barry Ryan, 8-6, 6-1. In the boys' 18 years old under singles, Mike Bouck played some of the finest tennis he produced in recent months to test the measure of Barry Ryan, 6-2, after previously winning on Steve Morris, 6-3, 7-5. Ryan took the round of four from Plynn and Barry Ryan, 8-6, 6-1. Morris had more luck in the boys' 15 years old and under group when he was in his own age class where he won over Don Kliss, 6-3, Morris defeated Ken Fenton, 6-1 in the semis, and Kliss over Glynn Looper, 6-0, 6-2.

Phone ZEnith 2518 DIXON'S ELECTRIC Commercial and Residential Wiring PHONE:— DAY JA 7-3001 NIGHT KE 5-9573 SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK U(P) — Slammin' Sammy Snead had another golf championship and another record to h's credit today—and bright new hopes that finally he was ready to bring home "the big one." The fairway financier from the West Virginia hills stuffed $3,000 in his wallet after winning the Palm Beach Round-Robin for a record third time. But such records are old stuff to the Slammer, whose three Masters victories are matched only by Jimmy Demaret and who has won the Greenbrier, Miami and Greensboro Opens an unmatched number of times. But Sam would give all those records, and maybe even some of the money, for just one victory in the U.S. Open. Time Growing Short That's about the only one he never has won. And at 42 time is growing short. But off the way he ran away from the Palm Beach field, despite a touch of virus on the final day, Snead feels that even now it isn't too late to capture the one which threatens his path to golfing immortality. There is, when you consider his play at Meadowbrook, just one obstacle which threatens him. It is the psychological hurdle which always has barred him from Open triumph since his first effort away back in 1937, when he apparently had it in his pocket and sat helplessly by as Ralph Guldahl nosed him into second place. Second place has become the Snead story since then as far as the Open is concerned. That's where he has finished four times: just back of Guldahl in 1937, loser of a playoff to Lew Worsham in 1947, second to Cary Middlecoff in 1949 and second to Ben Hogan last year. And once he kicked it completely away. His Horrible Eight That was the year of h's horriest record five at Baltusrol next month. A lot of them think that Snead can win it, however, even at this late date. Cary Middlecoff is one of these, figuring that Baltusrol is a driver's course nd Samuel Jackson may well run away and hide from the rest of them just as he did in the Palm Beach, building up such a lead that even he can't blow on the final 18 holes. Most important, though, is that Sam thinks he can do it. Sure, he has before, stumbling often at the threshold. But as Sam says: "Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while." And this, the Slammer figures, may finally be "it". Baker, 6-2, 6-2. Lenain took a surprisingly 1-1, 6-2 win over Jean Willin the girls' 18 years old under singles.

Keller, Khalfi Glash television Feature NEW YORK (UP) — Feathert champion Sandy Saddler meet lightweight Hoacine of Algeria tonight in the 10-round main event of London Sporting Clubs first tion show at St. Nicholas. Keller was favored at 4-1 to Khalfi with his second straight can defeat. Second place has become the Snead story since then as far as the Open is concerned. That's where he has finished four times; just back of Guildahl in 1937, loser of a playoff to Lew Worsham in 1947, second to Cary Middlecoff in 1949 and second to Ben Hogan last year. And once he kicked it completely away. His Horrible Eight That was the year of h's horrible eight. Sam still wakes up in the middle of the night sweating over that final hole in 1939, where a par five on an easy birdie hole would have given him the title, a bogey six would have tied—a the eighth sent him into the abyss from which he still is climbing. The Slammer still has the game; nobody can question that after his weekend performance in the Palm Beach. He proved, in his recent Masters playoff triumph over the seldom-surpassed Ben Hogan, that Head and head, Sam is certain that he can "take" Hogan five days out of seven. But the fact remains that never, with that picture swing, has he been able to win the Open. Some of them don't think he ever will.
