Stars Sweep Twin Bill From Seals To Increase PCL Lead to Six Games
BY DON THACKREY,
United Press Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The San Francisco Seals found out yesterday the best way to look at the Stars is from flat on your back.
The Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League taught the upstart Seals the astronomy lesson by winning 5-4 and 8-1 and snatching the series away from their rivals just as the San Franciscans thought they had copped it.
Oakland, San Diego and Portland also took hints from the Stars and gobbled up both ends of their Sunday doubleheaders. The Oaks two timed Los Angeles, winning 4-2 in 11 innings and 6-3 in regular time.
San Diego won over Seattle 5-4 in the nine inning game and then again by the same score a seven inning nightcap that got out of hand and went 12.
Portland capped Sacramento 8-3 and 6-4 in a night doubleheader.
Second Game A Breeze
The Stars got three singles in the bottom of the ninth inning to push across the winning run in the opener. The game had see sawed along until Bob DiPietro tied it for the Seals in the seventh with a home run.
Lino Donoso, Carlos Bernier and Dick Bernier provided the pictures.
CHAPMAN COLLEGE SET TO TAKE OVER ORANGE HI CAMPUS
SANTA ANA, (OCNS) — Although both will be forced to share the same athletic facilities for some time, Orange County's newest college, Chapman, and Orange Union High School are in perfect accord.
Donald Perkins, Chapman athletic director, made this clear to an OCNS reporter after a conference yesterday afternoon with Bill Franz, Orange High athletic chief.
Perkins, former University of Southern California cage and baseball star, said: "I don't think we'll have any difficulty whatever. We'll both use the same gym in the old high school. Chapman does not have a football team so we won't conflict there."
"As for baseball, Chapman will use the Orange city field ant the new high school diamond which is expected to be completed by next fall."
Orange High has moved into new quarters a short distance from the old site. A new gymnasium is in the works. Chapman recently purchased the old Orange High Furgol takes Open Crowd

Furgol probably could casually read on his new title, if he be find the time. Longshot winner do better financially than "no pros on endorsements and exertion money, since the top already have plenty of comments, but Furgol is a leader at a fine club and his is not his own.

Lino Donoso, Carlos Bernier and Dick Smith provided the one baggers in the ninth for Hollywood's first win. Donoso got the victory and Bob Muncrief the loss.
In the second game the Stars ran off and hid from the Seals, mostly on San Francisco errors.
The Stars broke the game apart in the fourth with five runs to give the win to Jim Walsh and the loss to Ed Chandler. The Seals shipped in with four errors and got only three hits off three Hollywood pitchers.
San Diego stayed six games out by winning the hard way twice. The Padres scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to come from behind to victory, Earl Rapp singled home Buddy Peterson with the winning counter after two were out.
Pads Kept Tying Game
In the nightcap Rapp doubled in the 12th and Harry Elliott singled him home. Twice during the extra innings the Rainiers had gone one run ahead, once on Leo Thomas's home run, only to have the Pads tie it all up again.
Johnny Jorgensen supplied the payoff blow for the Oakland Acorns in the first game when he clouted a two run homer in the 11th innings. Earlier Tom Brown had clouted a solo blast for the Angels to tie the game.
Bob Spicer went the distance for Los Angeles and Don Ferrarese took the win in relief.
In the second game the Oaks poured across four runs in the sixth to take the win. Bill Howerton got the Acorns their first two runs with a second innining homer.

we both use the same gym in the old high school. Chapman does not have a football team so we won't conflict there.
"As for baseball, Chapman will use the Orange city field ant the new high school diamond which is expected to be completed by next fall."
Orange High has moved into new quarters a short distance from the old site. A new gymnasium is in the works. Chapman recently purchased the old Orange High School buildings and will make the shift from Los Angeles in autumn.
Chapman, a Christian Church backed institution, has fielded only track, basketball and baseball teams the past few years. Back in the twenties it engaged in pigskinnery — and it hopes to again, Perkins disclosed.
"The alumni group is trying to get back into football," Perkins pointed out, "but it would take money, lots of money. And where would we get 33 players? Football for Chapman appears a long way off."
Chapman has served as the punching bag for schools such as Redlands, Whittier, Occidental and Pasadena Nazarene in the past, but Perkins hopes to turn the tables on his tormenters in these days ahead.
Alumni and school are combining to offer athletic scholarships — just how many hasn't been determined. It's certain, however, that Chapman won't have to rely on "unskilled" players, Perkins hinted.
Lynx, Portland Play To 14-Inning Stalemate
Buena Park's Lynx and the Portland Flowers will attempt to reach a decision when they tangle in the second game of their Pacific Coast Girls League series at Portland tonight.
Last night, the two clubs battled to a 14-inning scoreless tie in a contest that featured brilliant fielding and three double plays.
Both squads got seven hits as Eloise Bielefeld kept pace with Betty (Evans) Grayson of the Flowers.
Helen Maris and Marie Kornder were the defensive standouts for Buena Park.
Furgol probably could casually on his new title, if he find time. Longshot winners do better financially than "nasty pros on endorsements and exition money, since the top already have plenty of comments, but Furgol is a teacher pro at a fine club and his is not his own.
Littler was in trouble nearly the way on his third round out Dick Mayer, 29 year old pro St. Petersburg, Fla., wound up shots back when he lost control the final hole and took a shot when a par five meant a tie. Mangrum of Niles, Ill., the champion, finished with Mayer 286 when he twice carded on the front nine of the final rounds.

SPORTS PARADE
OSCAR FRALEY
SPRINGFIELD, N. J. (UP) — Unbelieving Ed Furgol stepped front and center today with all the rags to riches heroes of the sports world.
Every once in a great while a man comes out of nowhere to join the sporting greats. Jimmy Brad-dock did it when he came off the docks to win the heavyweight championship of the world and Pancho Gonzales walloped his way across the tennis tracks to fame and fortune.
Furgol, the son of a Polish immigrant farmer who had won only one other tournament in his nine years as a professional golfer, did it Saturday at Baltusrol golf club when he captured the coveted U. S. Open championship.
It was a long-sought pot of gold at the end of the golfing rainbow for the alender, dark-haired man who through most of his 27 years has made it the hard way. For life was late in being good to the personable Ed.
No Private Club
Born in New York Mills, N.Y., a tiny town near Utica, he was brought up at the height of the depression and admits: "I had no money and no private golf club at which to play."
But there are things worse than not having money. Ed found that out, too, when at the age of 12 he fell from the parallel bars in a neighborhood playground and shattered his left elbow. Money was scarce in the Furgol house but still they managed three operations.
"The arm never did set right though," he explained.
The arm failed to grow and remained locked at the elbow. So when young Ed began to caddy to pick up a few dollars and began to swing a golf club, he had to swing it with his shoulders.
out to play myself. I didn't care about Hogan or anybody else. I know if I play my game I can beat him—and I proved it, didn't I?"
He did, as the faith in himself which wouldn't bow to that crippling childhood accident paid off with one of the most incredulous chapters in sports history.
