Juniors Gain Split in Series With Huntington Anaheim's Junior Legion team staged a five-run rally in the seventh inning yesterday to come from behind and defeat Huntington Beach 9 to 4 and thus gain a split in the two game series played over the weekend. Saturday, Huntington Beach outlasted Anaheim, 7 to 5. Both games were played at La Palma Park. Bill French rapped an infield hit and after consecutive walks to Al Storey, Roy Weaver and Joe Avitia had forced in a run, Frank Doretti drilled a single to right to bring home two more runs. Doretti later scored by beating a throw to the plate on Ken Harker's infield roller. Huntington Beach had built up a three run lead, scoring single runs in the first, third and fifth innings. They came back for one of their own in the eighth but Rudy Peralta held them in check the rest of the way to gain the victory. Bob Scholz, who started and pitched creditably, also got himself out of several jams in the early innings. Huntington won Saturday's contest by splurging five runs in the second inning, aided by five hits and some rhoddy Anaheim play afield. Paul Morris started and was the loser. Bob Scholz threw the last three innings. Bill French was the leading hitter for Anaheim, garnering four hits in nine trips, during the series. Alan Storey had two hits on Saturday and Paul Morris had two hits yesterday. The locals open their Northern Orange County League season in a series with Fullerton at Amerige Park Saturday and La Palma Park Sunday. Alpha Beta Rally Tops Dixie Cups The Alpha Beta softball squad rallied for five runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Dixie Cuppers, 8-3, in a City League skirmish at Cypress Thursday. Last night, the Bethel Baptists drubbed White Temple, 10-0, and Stanton Community shaded the Presbyterians, 9-8, in Church League action.

The Oakland Oaks slipped back to third place although they outhit San Diego in both contests. Alen Gettel was the loser in the first game and Bob Kerrigan the winner. The second game went eight innings before the Padres were given the winning run as Walt Pocekay was walked with the bases full. Buddy Peterson homered in the fifth for San Diego to tie the game and send it into the extra frame. Bill Evans gave up only three hits, one of them a home run by Jacques Monette, as he stopped a four game Seattle losing streak. The Rainiers got six hits off loser Bill Moisan in a game finished during a cloudburst.

The slim, 35 year old Fresno, Calif., pilot yesterday became only the third winner in the classic's 38 race history to bag the tough race two years running, and he did it the hard way. Starting from the inside spot in the sevent row, or 19th position in the 33 car field, "Wild Bill" methodically worked his way up front. Twice he gained the lead up to surrender it again; in the last 51 laps of the 200 lap chase before a holiday crowd of about 150,000. In all, he led for 91 laps and picked up $13,650 in lap money alone. His elapsed time was three hours, 49 minutes and 17.27 seconds. His average speed of 138.840 miles per hour shattered Troy Ruttman's 1952 mark of 128.922. Vukovich, who was robbed of "500" honors two years ago when he hit the wall only eight laps short of victory, said afterwards. "I guess we were lucky." He added hastily, that he has no designs on quitting. "I guess I'll try for a couple more," he smiled. Only speedway President Wilbur Shaw and Mauri Rose previously won this race two consecutive years. Records were set for the entire distance from 10 miles on, with Jimmy Bryan and Jack McGrath, who finished second and third, and Jimmy Daywalt, Sam Hanks and Art Cross also sharing in the glory. McGrath, the pole wirner and qualification record holder, paced the fastest field in history for the first 44 laps, then fell back because of magneto trouble. The second game Pieretti got number eight in prevailing Bob Hall. Jack Phillips hit home run for the Stars in with none aboard. San Francisco Seals came to town after a fabulously useful road trip and were helmed by their fans. A total of 19.875 turned out to watch Seals return the compliment newhelping hapless Portland. Sir Singleton tossed a two-out in the first game and second the Seals went wild basepaths to make it easy Ponce, the merry Mexi- with his fourth in a row six straight defeats.

Stamp Out Narconics Marine Veteran of World War II and Korea SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UP) The "Iron Slovak" still ruled the nation's race drivers today after winning the Indianapolis 500 mile automobile race for the second straight year, but he wasn't telling anybody how he did it. Bill Vukovich, a 35 year old Californian, actually wasn't telling anybody much of anything. "Vucky" won the toughest Memorial Day sporting event of them all yesterday and when it was over he was just about the day's most beat up athlete. His dripping clothes clung to him, his body was covered with oil, the fatigue of driving 500 miles at a record average speed of 130.84 miles per hour showed in every line of his drooping body and he couldn't hear for more than an hour unless you shouted in his ear. Not So Tough "It wasn't as tough as last year; heat wasn't quite as bad," said the one-time lobster fisherman who is known as a rough riding villain on a racetrack. "I could have ridden all day." He did, just about, while practically every other driver in the race needed relief at one time or another. But not the "Iron Slovak," a five foot, nine inch 180 pounder with blunt hands that make those roaring race cars purr like a kitten. He just kept shoving his foot through the firewall until they gave him the checkered flag. After it was over, Vukovich sat on a mechanic's bench in his tiny garage in gasoline alley, feet bared and swollen, as he wiped his stained face with a cold cloth. He was, as usual, extremely reticent. There have been times since he and his brother, Ell, became drivers in midget races, that the shy Vukovich has fled from the race immediately after a victory held it all the way except when he made a quick pit stop and relinquished the lead briefly to Jimmy Bryan, who eventually wound up second. "I don't have any plans after this," Vukovich said. But it was a cjnch he'd be back next year, looking for a record third in a row. And from the way he drove in this one, he was going to be tough to beat. LaBua Makes TV Debut With Smashing Victory NEW YORK (UP)—The "new-face" performances of middleweight Jackie LaBua, an upset victor, and featherweight Mickey Mars, a lop sided loser, gave boxing a mild shot in the arm today. Each fought his first metropolitan main event last night, and each made his television debut. LaBua of East Meadow, N.Y., finished the stranger to win a surprise split 10 round decision over Frenchman Jacques Royer-de-Crecy. It was his 11th straight victory. The French middleweight had registered a stunning upset over Ralph (Tiger) Jones at Madison Square Garden, May 14. Featherweight Mars of Cleveland lost a unanimous 10 round decision to Lulu Perez of Brooklyn, the world's third ranking contender. But inexperienced Mars won bravos for his punch and gameness. He could become a dangerous contender. Perez said, "he's the hardest hitter I ever met." Middleweight LaBua, a protege of ex-champion Jake LaMotta, earned another TV bout July 12 by his victory over Royer-de-Crecy. His opponent may be Brooklyn LaBua.

He was, as usual, extremely reticent. There have been times since he and his brother, Ell, became drivers in midget races, that the shy Vukovich has fled from the race immediately after a victory to avoid being interviewed. One of his earlier employers, J. C. Agajanian, let Bill go as a driver because he refused to make public appearances. "It should have been three in a row," Vukovich commented briefly. "I had it won in 1852 when the steering went haywire and I hit the wall." He took his second in a row on the sun baked brick and asphalt speedway by doing it the hard way. When they barreled away, 33 cars three abreast roaring into that frightening south turn, Vukovich was back in the seventh row. When the race was half over he was sitting out there in front and SUMMER LEAGUES NOW FORMING Open Lanes every day and evening from noon until ??
