SPORTS BOB ZIMMER, Editor Seals Demonstrate Winning Ball Club Is Best Cure for Slump in Attendance By HAL WOOD SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The best cure for a slump in baseball attendance is a winning ball club. That's not news, but it's being demonstrated to the fullest in the city of San Francisco, where the citizens had become used to watching a second division club. With the Seals winning 21 out of their last 25 games, San Francisco suddenly has become baseball crazy and the talk in the local pubs, at parties, at the races or anywhere else is about "Our Seals." It used to be about "Those Seals." Don Klein, the man who broadcasts the Seals' games, is having the most fun. "I used to get about 50 letters a week," says Don, "most of them telling me what I should do with the Seals. In fact, a man from Modesto wrote in and told me not to get so all-fired excited when the Seals got a hit; he realized they didn't get one very often, but there was no use blowing a gasket over a little single. "Now I gt about 150 letters a week and nearly all are in praise of such a fine, outstanding group of players." Walter Mails, the Seals' public relations director, is the most amazed man in town. "When 20,000 turned out on have changed since the club started to win. "During the first few weeks of the campaign, when we were losing nearly every game," Mails recalled, "I took a lot of barbs. In fact, when I was speaking at Lowell High School, I was challenged by the Lowell ball club. "Now that we have a winning team, I've accepted the challenge." Mails, of course, is the first one to admit that it takes a winning ball club to attract customers. The executives at Seals Stadium are hoping for something between 60,000 and 85,000 for the series with Oakland next week. The two teams are running neck and neck for second place, and not too far away from first-place Hollywood. Mails has set up special nights for surrounding towns, such as Petaluma, San Mateo, San Bruno, Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, etc. If the present pace of the Seals keeps up, there is a good chance that the fan interest will continue to mount, in which case the club may attract as many as a half million customers through the turnstiles.

"When 20,000 turned out on Monday, I got a bigger thrill than if I had hit a home run," said Mails. That's quite a statement, because the old-time pitching star hit only one home run in his whole life. "I never saw such spontaneous demonstrations for a ball club," said Mails. "Why 5000 fans turned up at the airport just to greet a team home from a road trip, there when Tony Lazerri, Frank Crossetti and Joe DiMaggio came home from winning the World Series for the Yankees some years back."

POWERS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 21 Years a State Senator Senate President Pro Tempore 1947-53 Hook, Line and Sinker California's newest popular outdoor sport — skin diving — has reached such proportions that its participants should be reminded of a few basic safety rules, the Department of Fish and Game, believes. In the past several years, thousands of neophytes have joined the hardy fraternity of underwater fishermen, and this year will see the unique sport reach new heights of popularity, the Department reports. For the new-comers and old-timers alike, the International Underwater Spearfishing Association has compiled a list of safety rules designed to prevent underwater mishaps. One of the most important of the rules is the advice to always go diving with someone else. Do not swim immediately after exhausting physical effort, nor right after meals, the Association cautions. Always carry a knife, stay away from sea lions and do not reach into hidden rock crevices, it is advised. A wise skin diver will remember that eels bite and will gladly share his abalone with one if the eel suggests it by his actions, another safety rule states. The spearfishermen are cautioned never to point a loaded speargun at anyone, never to load it before entering the weater nor fail to unload it before leaving the water. The thinclads are urged to do their diving well beyond the breaker line, use a rubber band to tie an abalone iron to their wrists and not to climb on wave-swept rocks at sea. "Use care in the handling of eels, jellyfish, sea urchins and sculpins," the rule list urges. If divers use lead belts for weighting them down they are cautioned to have a quick release that works. White or flashy garb or equipment is ill-advised. A diver should not tie a line from any equipment to Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, etc. If the present pace of the Seals keeps up, there is a good chance that the fan interest will continue to mount, in which case the club may attract as many as a half-million customers through the turnstiles.

The Redskins romped to a 13-4 triumph over Rosemead yesterday while Loyola nipped Inglewood, 4-3. Fullerton scored six runs in the fifth frame and the victory was highlighted by Willie Quezada's homer in the ninth with one on. The CIF semi-final game was played at Rosemead High School. Gerald Runyon started on the mound for Coach Bud Dawson's Sunset League winners and worked the initial four frames. Louis Zuniga relieved him and finished the nine inning affair. Rosemead's ace chucker, Tony Decarbo, struck out a game high of five, but walked eight and that proved to be his downfall. He was the fastest pitcher the Braves faced this season. The loss was Rosemead's third of the year. All the Fullerton starters collected at least one hit except First Baseman Joel Newkirk. Dick Woody failed to get a hit but he didn't officially go to bat. Quizda's homer was the only extra-base blow of the game. Fullerton left 11 runners stranded on base while the losing Panthers left ten. The contest was ten minutes short of three hours.

(UP) — An iron man in a steel car streaked to a breathless 130.840 miles per hour record in the Indianapolis 500 but the man who made the motor predicted today that this was only the beginning. Tireless Bill Vukovich set that new mark in the Memorial Day auto classic and there were some who thought it would stand for years to come. Not so with Lou Meyer, a three-time winner of the event who manufactured the engine for Bullet Bill. Meyer believes that the day will come, and soon when the record will be boosted all the way up to 150 miles per hour for the grind. The burly, blue-eyed California knows all about records on a race-track. He won the 500 in 1928, 1933 and 1936, setting new marks in both of those latter two triumphs. Already they are antique, for his time was 104 miles per hour in 1933 and "only" 109 miles per hour in 1936. Qualifying Speeds Increasing "We were qualifying at 124 miles an hour in those days and everybody agreed that this was as fast as it was possible to go." Meyer chuckles. "Today they qualify at 140 miles an hour and everybody wonders how fast they really can go. I don't know, but I'll venture to predict that in two years a qualifying speed of 140 miles an hour won't make the race." Meyer to emphasize his stand pointed to the 126.244 miles per hour mark created in 1951 by Lee Wallard. That, too, was expected to stand for years to come. But the very next year Troy Ruttman boosted it to 128.922 — and that lasted only two years until Vukovich averaged 130.840 for the full 500 miles on Monday. “There has to be a limit sometime but there still is room for greater acceleration on the straight aways and better brakes to check that speed heading into the turns.” Meyer insists. "I think we can get up to 144 or 145 miles an hour overall out of our present engines. But new engines will raise it to 150 miles an hour. That means, of course, that to obtain such an average the speeds in the straight-aways will have to reach 180 or 190 miles per hour with the cars doing 140 miles an hour through the turns. Meyer gets that old racing itch when he talks about cars which will conquer time at such a clip but he has known since 1939 that competitively he “had it.” That was when he took his last ride at Indianapolis, was leading at the 475-mile mark in pursuit of a record fourth victory, and spun out on the wicked north turn. “The late Rex Mays was in the plits and wanted to drive relief for me,” Meyer recalls. “I never had relief in all the time I drove at Indianapolis and I always said that when I couldn't keep it inside the lines anymore I'd quit. Well, I guess I was in a daze that day. Anyhow, I spun into the wall.” It threw Lou out on the track, knocking him right out of his shoes, which remained in the car. “That was my 13th and last ride at Indianapolis — and I guess I'm really lucky it wasn't the last one I ever took in any kind of a car.” Meyer says. “But these younger fellows will do things that us old timers never dreamed of doing.” Meyer will be satisfied merely to make the engine which carries them to “the limit” — an Indiana-polis record of right around 150 miles per hour.
