SPORTS BOB ZIMMER, Editor PCL Nines Pick Up Ground As Stars Drop Twin Bill SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Seven Pacific Coast League baseball clubs picked up ground in yesterday's doubleheaders and the Hollywood Stars just picked up the Hollywood Stars. The league leaders helped close ground for everyone through being floored twice by the Seattle Rainiers as the other teams were splitting on a Sunday that saw clor to the vest baseball with low scores and one run margins in five of the eight games. Seattle took advantage of infrequent Hollywood error to win the first game 4-1 on three unearned runs. Then the Suds foamed back with three tails in the bottom of the seventh to take the night-cap 3-2. The San Diego Padres moved to within four and a half games of the lead by exchanging one run decisions with San Francisco, each club spending all afternoon making two runs. The Seals won 1-0 and then lost 2-1. Oaks and Beavers Split Oakland and Portland also swapped one run edges, the Oaks triumphing 3-2 in 10 innings and losing 2-1 in seven. Los Angeles beat Sacramento 8-4 and then dropped a 5-1 affair.

Beach to Cop Jr. Legion Crowns FULLERTON (OCNS) — Sizing the old mountain reframing 'Bound For The Top, I'm Ever My Way.' Fullerton's Junior American Legion Baseballers were joying the fruits of successful playing today. Yesterday afternoon at Huntington Beach, the Cardinals ran to take a double-header, defeating Huntington Beach two out of the exciting games to win the Orda County championship. The victory gave Fullerton seventh county title in the eight years and gave them right to represent the county's 21st District playoffs. playoffs start Saturday, with first game scheduled for 2 at Amerige Park. With Card pitcher, Kenny right, turning in a masterpiece the mound yesterday, the county champs captured the tie and final game of the series. Huntington won the first game played at Fullerton on Saturday, 4-3, in 10 innings. The game was protested, but not allowed, so the playoffs move to Huntington Beach for the second encounter between the winner of the North and South division of the county. With the pressure on, Fullerton came through with an 8-5 forcing the playoffs into the tie and deciding game. After a shifter inning, Enright settled down to register his most lucrative gain of the year. The strong righthander started a series-high of nine battles while displaying superb control walking only one. He was touched for seven hits, all being well-suited. Oaks and Beavers Split Oakland and Portland also swapped one run edges, the Oaks triumphing 3-2 in 10 innings and losing 2-1 in seven. Los Angeles beat Sacramento 8-4 and then dropped a 5-1 affair. Rookie Ed Wolfe was victimized by his Hollywood team mates in the first game as Seattle scored three fifth inning runs with a minimum of muscle. Miscues by Dick Smith and Dale Long, two walks and a single by Artie Wilson were enough to give the win to Gene Bearden. In the second game Tommy Byrne beat Red Munger on the strength of the three run seventh in which the tying run was walked across the plate. Elmer Singleton threw a four hitter at the Padres to host Bob Kerrigan. The lone run scored in the first on a triple was by Mike Baxes on a fly ball. In the second game the Seals again got a first inning run, but it wouldn't stand up. The Pads scored one in the fourth on Harry Elliott's homer and added the winner in the fifth. Bill Wight had his arm elevated above Ed Chandler. Marshall's 15th Homer Jim Marshall drove in all the Oakland runs against Portland, the first two in the opening inning with his 15th home run of the year and the other with a bases loaded single in the 10th. In the second game Frank Austin doubled home Fletcher Rebbe and winning pitcher Glenn Elliott in the fifth frame. Oakland got one run back but couldn't tie it. The Beavers got only three hits and Oakland five. The Angels slammed home five runs in the first inning to rout Emil Patrick and the Sacramento Solons. Tom Brown and Fred Richards hit homers during the outburst and Brown hit another in the eighth. John Pecha got the win, win. Charlie Schanz, the well travelled right hander, personally won the second game for the Sacs, tossing a six hitter at the Angeles and smashing out a three run home run in the fifth.

The San Gabriel Valley League game was not without its moms even though the Chromettes' tibory was decisive and clean cut. A memorable moment came when Ted Grice, burly Asa Abrh thumbed the portly Fullerton manager out of the game for protesting on the decisions in the thinning. Paula Buena rapped one of D Hovie's offerings back to shut stop Jo Turner who batted the down, picked it up and fired first just as the Chromette pitched it sack. Grice flagged her safe. He walked out on the field and spotted to man in blue who listened and when he answered, Hibbs plowed. It was then that the arb ran the manager out of the game. Doris Holve, Anaheim's contribution to Fullerton girls softly never had a chance. The Sw hearts were as nervous as a bird on her wedding day. Eight errors were charged against Fullerton.

(UP) — A badly blistered racket hand clouded the chances of American champion Tony Trabert today as he clashed with Australian champion Mervyn Rose in the quarter-final round of the historic Wimbledon tennis championships. The spunky Trabert, who is top-seeded in the tourney, would admit only that his hand was “sore,” but wouldn’t speculate on how it would affect his play. The trouble developed after his 160-minute victory over Swedish champion Sven Davidson on Saturday, the third straight difficult victory he had recorded although he was in the easiest quarter of the draw. After the match, a blood bilter on his racket hand had to be drained and there were three “water” blisters on the fingers and palm. To add to his troubles, the Cincinnati, #Ohio, star had a large blister on his right foot. On the other hand, Rose, a southpaw, has been the most impressive of the brilliant Australians so far in this tournament. He is seeded fifth. The quarter-final men’s singles round is made up of three Americans, four Australians, and Jaroslav Drobny, who represents Egypt. Fourth-seeded Vic Seixas, the defending champion from Philadelphia, is matched againstudge Patty, the 1950 champion from Los Angeles, in one quarter-final. The Aussies are certain to get one semi-finalist from the match between third-seeded Ken Kosewall and eighth-seeded Rex Hartwig, while the other match sends Drobny against second-seeded Aussie star Lewis Hoad. Also on tap today is the fourth round in women’s singles, with a wholesale American advance to the quarter-final round expected. The only foreseeable U.S. loss is Connolly of San Diego, Calif., is matched against Angela Buxton of Britain; second-seeded Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Fla., faces Nicola Migliori of Italy; third-seeded Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio, meets Pat Ward of Britain; and fifth-seeded Mrs. Margaret Osborn-Dupont of Wilmington.. Del., plays Christianne Mercellis of Eelgium. Lynx End Northwestern Tour With Two Losses Buena Park’s Lynx ended their Northwestern tour on a disastrous note by losing to the Portland Flowers, 3-2, in a Pacific Coast Girls League game Saturday night and bowing, 5-4, to the Portland Pennants in a 10-inning practice game last night. The Flowers broke a 2-2 deadlock Saturday night by scoring the winning tally in the last of the sixth. Portland racked up two runs in the first, but the Lynx rallied to tie the score with one in the second on singles by Helen Maris and Johnna Moore and one in the sixth on a walk and a triple by Maris. Maris was also the hitting star of last night’s game. She smacked a three-run homer in the last of the seventh as the Lynx came from behind to tie the score and force the issue into extra innings. However, the Pennants bounced back to win the game in the 10th on a triple and single. Eloise Bielefeld, who went all the way Saturday night and relieved Carol Spanks in the sixth last night, was the losing pitcher in both games. The Lynx are enroute home today. They play at Orange Thursday night and then at Orange Thursday. Walt Cullen to Poppress Girls Team FULLERTON (OCNS) — len will manage the Cysoftball team in the Opine Girls Softball League.

SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP)— Leo Ernest Durocher is on the hottest spot in baseball today in what ranks as the greatest sports mystery since the still-unrevealed reason why he was banished from baseball for the 1947 season. You'd think that life would be sweet for the erstwhile "Lip," what with his New York Giants right up there in the National League race. But it isn't shaping up that way. If the Giants win the pennant he'll be tagged a "lucky bum"—and if they lose then the only word which the linotypes will drop is the "lucky." The mystifying part of it all is that despite the unexpected success of the Giants this season, Leo isn't getting any of the credit. He has been picking typewriters out of his balding skull ever since the season started. Given Short End This was not an attempt to dissuade my fellow typewriter termites from their chosen way. In this racket it's every man to his credo and let the paragraphs fall where they may. But for my few paltry pesos the little leader of Coogan's Bluff is, on quite a few occasions, being given the short end. The way I read most of my conferences, Leo couldn't pick the winner of a one-horse walkover. He has been blamed for everything from the exaggerated price of coffee to the poor showing of misnamed Magic Valley in the Pioneer League. Yet, there are those Giants, right up at the top. From my long-range seat, I can't see them above third place. The pitching staff doesn't rank with the great mound corps of even the Polo Grounda' spotted past. The catchers can't hit, one of the key infielders has a bad back and in-lads tell it, these moves are not to be credited to Durocher. They point out that he juggled his lineup too much. Reflect, if you will, that this is a complimentary boast when you discuss the case of Monsieur Casey Stengel of the Yankees. The five-time world champions brag that Casey hasn't used the same lineup two games running in five years. That makes him a magician. It makes Durocher a bum. Durocher is blamed for falling attendance at the Polo Grounds. Yet they are outdrawing the Yankees and the Dodgers. Leo is shellacked for not "building up" the confidence of his pitchers. With most of those lackadaisical behemoths it should be the other way around. Nor, they say, does he know when to bunt. And there are the Giants, right up at the top. The only inference you can draw is that, without him, the Giants should have clinched the pennant on opening day. All in all, it's a mystifying situation. Meanwhile, Durocher has clammed up—and who's to blame him?
