SPORTS BOB ZIMMER. Editor A playoff game between the Anaheim and Fullerton Junior Legion nines for the North Orange County appears to be a distinct possibility as a result of their split series over the weekend. Anaheim notched an 11-5 triumph Saturday, but Fullerton retaliated with an 11-3 victory at La Palma Park yesterday. LaVerne Weaver was the big gun in Saturday's victory for the Mother Colony squad. He knocked in four runs with three singles. The score was tied at 5-all when Weaver came to the plate in the seventh and rapped a single with the bases loaded to drive in two runs. Anaheim added another run in the same frame and three more in the ninth to seep up the encounter. Southpaw Paul Grover tossed a four-hitter at the Fullerton squad. He had his streaks of wildness, walking nine and hitting three, but once he got the lead, he was a rough customer. In the final three innings, Grover didn't yield a hit while fanning five batters. Yesterday, it was a different story as Fullerton rapped across five runs in the fifth to chalk up an easy triumph. Catcher Frank Doretti came through as expected in the clean-up slot for the locals by collecting end because Brea has dropped out of the circuit. Fullerton plays Buena Park.

In spring training Richards insisted that Harshman would be his No.4 starting hurler in spite of the fact that the converted first baseman had only one good year in the minors. Last season Harshman won 27 games with Nashville and picked up another 15 playing Latin American ball in the winter. But Harshman failed quickly, being knocked out in his first two starting assignments and was relegated to relief roles. Then when Billy Pierce and Mike Fornieles developed arm trouble, Richards decided to gamble with Harshman again and this time he came through with a seven-hit shutout over the Senators as Chicago swept a doubleheader Sunday, 5-3 and 6-0, to run its latest winning streak to five games. Sandy Consuegra hurled a six-hitter in the opener which was decided on the margin of Minnie Minoso's two-run eighth inning homer. Jim Rivera also hit two Chicago homers. The Cleveland Indians also cashed in on second-line pitching to sweep their doubleheader at Philadelphia, 2-1 and 7-5 and stay in front of Chicago by eight percentage points in the hot American League race. Bob Feller won his 251st game in the opener, scattering eight hits and missing a shutout on a homer by losing pitcher Arnold Portocarrero. The Indians made both their runs on second inning triples by Dave Philley and George Strickland, each followed by sacrifice files by Bill Glynn and Jim Hegan.

Rocky Thrives on Work In Prep For Title Bout By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer GROSSINGER, N.Y. (UP) — A reporter made the mistake today of asking trainer Charley Goldman if he wasn't trying to "gild the lily"—wasn't over-training heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano for his June 17th defense against Ezzard Charles. Little, gnome-like Charley—grized and bespectacled — snorted, "Lily, heck!" The 66-year-old conditioner, who began tossing leather as a bantam 50 years ago, declared derisively, "We're not working with a lily. We're workin' with the iron man of the ages—the greatest iron man the world has ever known in any branch of athletics." Marciano, 29, began preliminary training here at this swanky resort for the Charles fight in January—six months ago, Goldman admitted. During his unprecedented grind, Goldman has been asked at least once a week, "Won't Rocky go stale? Won't he be over-trained?" On this day of rest at the cottage living quarters and hill-top plane-hangar gymnasium, Goldman cut loose like a camel whose back at last had been broken. A Super-man "Guys keep askin' me this same question over and over," he said. "Can't they realize we're dealing with a super-man, with one of the greatest athletes that ever lived—with a guy who lives on exercise—thrives on hard work? He's a guy with a one-track mind and a one-track body. His every thought and his every move is concerned with fighting. "There's never been any one like him in any sport, or we certainly would have heard of him by now." Goldman, relaxing in a beach chair on the cottage's little porch, recalled that Rocky is the most unusual champion in heavyweight history. He is the first one to come unbeaten to the crown. Now he has scored 45 straight professional victories. And he has been floored but once in his professional career although he knocked out 40 opponents. "He's an iron man in the ring," continued Charley, "because he can dish it out harder than any other fighter in history—and I mean in any division. And, at the same time, he can take it better than anyone I ever heard of, while he's dishing it out." Not Going Stale Instead of going stale, Goldman assured vehemently, Rocky won't reach razor edge of sharpness until Thursday. Then he will begin to taper off gradually to hold that keenness. Charley drained the acid from his voice and said with agrain, "In spite of the goofy questions that are asked of me, it's a plea to train Rocky because he gets pleasure out of training. Six rises on the road every morning. Four to six rounds of sparring the afternoon. And more than hour of gymnasium exercises is the sparring." In conclusion, Goldmna simply admitted that Marciano's rough training grind would prob ruin the average fighter. Rocky thrives on exercise like fish on water, and he sleeps at 15 hours a day—including forearm and afternoon naps, and he's a eater. He's the iron man of ages."

Chandler SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP) — Ezzard Charles tuned up his defensive radar today as word emanated from the camp of Rocky Marciano that the heavyweight champion had perfected a "jet jab." The Rock, who defends against Charles at Yankee Stadium on June 17, is happier than a kid in a candy factory over his new punch. It is a blow, he bubbles, which he throws in short bursts. But everything takes on a suspicious sound when trainer Charlie Goldman attribute this advance in the fistic arts to the fact that "Rocky has learned muscular control." This reminds me too much of the unlamented Lou Nova, back in the days when he turned to yoga in preparation for his encounter with Joe Louis. That Nova's yoga developed to be as effective as a quart of yoghurt left a sour taste in a lot of mouths. New Punches As is the case all too often when the leather pushing industry, or workers therein, came up with a new punch. Some of the duds included Primo Carnera's "secret poonch." Da Preem was the most surprised man in the world when he laid a rival on the deck and at one time honestly believed in his "secret poonch." Nobody ever actually came up with a name for it, but if they had it would have been .45 calibre. Along with these must be Rocky Graziano's "flying saucer" blow and Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson's "double uppercut." Another rather debatable value is the "bolo punch" developed by Ceferino Garcia and popularized of late because of its scenic value alone by Kid Gavilan. There were, of course, a number of highly valuable trick deliveries and among the first was Bob Fitz-Simmons' "solar plexus punch," while Kid McCoy got a lot of cred-"old" Marciano is good enough for me—and probably for Charles, too, as far as that goes.

There were, of course, a number of highly valuable trick deliveries and among the first was Bob FitzSimmons' "solar plexus punch," while Kid McCoy got a lot of creditable mileage out of his "cork-screw punch." "Delayed KO Punch" If you didn't happen to be running out of rounds, you might even have gone for Billy Petrolle's "delayed knockout punch." This was the one in which the Fargo Express ed a round or two later. Petrolle once fought a pair of two-round exhibitions in a St. Paul gymnasium with two local batters. Naturally, this worked against him using his "delayed knockout punch" for the benefit of the cash customers, his rivals both being rather cautious in the opening minutes. "But both of them went down in the dressing room later on," swears Jack Hurley, who managed Petrolle. Be this as it may, there have been too many fancy punches of crowd-drawing but crowd - disappointing value to put too much faith in the Rock's new "jet jab" barring a convincing demonstration. Marciano to date has thrown a left hand which had all the grace of a berserk mixmaster. The "new" Marciano really may have learned "muscular control," and thus acquired a picture left jab of demolishing proportions. But there never will be a substitute for a good solid right hand clutch to the whiskers. So, if Rocky still has that atomic right, the CHURCH "A" LEAGUE W L Pet.
