I'll Handel This
By LEONARD R. HANDEL
(Bulletin Sports Editor)
Start of Sunset League baseball competition this week makes it real timely to dust off the crystal-type ball and attempt to see what will happen in the coming dash.
Happenings in pre-season competition do not figure to make this task any easier, but by the same token when we are proven wrong at campaign's end we will at least have not spoiled a nearly perfect record.
It goes without saying that the 1859 Sunset Loop chase figures to be tighter than the cap on a catsup bottle.
Those ball clubs which figured to be the real powers in Sunset operations have been moving along in nothing better than first gear, while the others, those which were overlooked earlier, started out like a high-powered sports car.
In making our predictions we trusted to many items.
They were:
1. Past records.
2. Playing personnel.
3. Coaches involved.
4. Luck (our own, not the ball club's.)
With this in mind we saliied forth into the darkness, hoping to shed a little light on the entire situation.
So, let's make like oracles.
1. SANTA ANA SAINTS
The Courthouse City has a real fine ball club, one which should produce some red-hot action in the coming race.
They have shown a marked ability to knock off top-rated teams and are also bolstered with a number of men who figure to produce a much-needed hitting attack.
One of these men is Bernie Young, a heavy hitter and fine fielder, who takes a back seat to no one in Circuit action.
The Saints have been a long time without a Loop crown and they would very much like to bring an end to the drought at this occasion.
We think they will do it.
2. GARDEN GROVE ARGONAUTS
The Garden Grove ball club appears to have something this season which they did not have in past campaigns.
Namely, pitching.
They have shown this with a number of tight triumphs against good ball clubs and if they continue such practices in Sunset action they will be extremely hard to defeat.
One thing which will hurt them is their home diamond.
With the extremely short fences in left and right fields, the Grove baseball plant is about the only one in Orange County where the first and third basemen are outfielders.
This simply means that the Grove pitching better be good or the outfielders will have to be completely equipped with pogo sticks.
However, it would seem that this ball club will be able to do just that — show the hurling — and with it they will give those Saints a real struggle for the title.
3. ANAHEIM COLONISTS

1. ANAHEIM COLONISTS
Predicting that Coach John Wallin's Colonists will finish in the third position figures to win me about as many friends as one could count on one hand wearing a catcher's mitt.
Wallin's lads have been the dominant force in the League for 'to these many years but the pre-season showings appear to shed a slightly different light on the entire deal.
At this writing they have won nine and lost 10, which is not the kind of mark one would expect from the team which is defending Circus titlist.
It is also rather hard to tab a team off of last year's record.
Which is just what one must do if they wish to predict Anaheim.
The Colony has been paced by some fine pitching in the persons of Clint Stark, Bill Bielefeld and Jim Starr, but these lads have not been given the hitting support, which creates all sorts of complications when comes a ball game.
Anaheim is also working under another handicap as many teams will be seeking to defect them strictly because they are trying to retain their crown.
With a little good luck the Colonists could make a fight of the race, but they must be fully aware that only a maximum effort will bring this about.
No one can do it for them.
4. NEWPORT HARBOR
Coach George Hunter's Oilers could easily be a surprise in the Sunset dash. Although they were defeated by Anaheim in the La Habra Kiwanis Tournament, this bell club can always be counted upon for a fine showing and this season will be no different.
The Safaris will be right up there in the thick of the fight throughout most of the season, but it does not seem likely that they will be able to keep it up during the entire season.
5. HUNTINGTON BEACH
This team could easily be the darkhorse of the Sunset Loop. They have been turning in good performances against teams which figured to really clobber them.
The Oilers most always come up with a well-rounded attack and many close to the scene are of the opinion that this could be the Year of the Huntington squad.
Maybe, but it doesn't seem likely that they can go all the way.
6. FULLERTON
What can I say dear, after I say I'm sorry!
Kid Rayo to Face Heinz Guder
In Long Beach Main Event Tuesday
Kid Rayo and Karl Heinz Guder, a pair of ambitious welterweights, should supply the fans with plenty of action when they start tossing leather at one another in the 10-round feature event at Long Beach Municipal Auditorium tomorrow night.
Guder, with a win over Sonny Hett and a draw with Frankie Belma at Long Beach during the past six weeks, gets his chance to again crash the bigtime April 25 at Hollywood when he takes on "Golden Boy" Art Aragon.
The Rayo fight could easily side-track, or postpone the Aragon fight for the time being.

Kid Rayo and Karl Heinz Guder, a pair of ambitious welterweights, should supply the fans with plenty of action when they start tossing leather at one another in the 10-round feature event at Long Beach Municipal Auditorium tomorrow night.
Guder, with a win over Sonny Hett and a draw with Frankie Belma at Long Beach during the past six weeks, gets his chance to again crash the bigtime April 25 at Hollywood when he takes on "Golden Boy" Art Aragon.
The Rayo fight could easily side-track, or postpone the Aragon fight for the time being.
The Nicaraguan Kid has ambitions of his own, and knows if he can give Karl a convincing touncing he will be an immediate favorite with harbor district fans.
The fact that Rayo dropped a close decision to Frankie Belma last year, while Guder was barely able to eke out a draw with Belma three weeks ago gives the fans an inkling of what to expect Tuesday night.
Rayo, while he has lost a couple of fights, has never been knocked off his feet. He proved his punching ability a few months ago when he kayed tough Len Miller in Honolulu in the first round.
Guder has had three fights stopped because of eye cuts. Should Rayo open the old wounds, it would prove a serious handicap in Karl's boxing drills preparatory to the Aragon fight.
The Nicaraguan youngster who holds the welterweight title of Central America, has all the confidence in the world that he can beat Guder, and says he will demonstrate Tuesday night that he is capable of beating the 147 pounders in the Southern California area.
Tuesday night will mark the opening show of a regular weekly fight card to be presented each Tuesday night at the auditorium by Promoter Leon Black.
A six, and three four round fights are on tap for the all action card.

Sizzling Last Round
Gives Wall Masters
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — Art Wall Jr. figured he had to shoot a 66 in the final round to win the Masters — and he did just that Sunday with one of the most fantastic finishes in golfing history.
The 35-year-old pro from Pocono Manor, Pa., who has been burning up the winter tour, really poured on the heat in the home stretch with five birdies in the last six holes to take the Masters title with a total of 284 — four strokes under par.
It took a lot of doing and the pressure was terrific for the slender, solemn-faced, 165-pound Wall, who lets his game do the talking for him. He had started the final round six strokes behind co-leaders Arnold Palmer, the defending champion, and Stan Leonard, the veteran Canadian pro.
Palmer Triple-Bogeys
There were 13 other golfers ahead of him when he started Sunday's play, including eventual runner-up Cary Middlecoff, and the outlook was a dismal one.
He was playing a half-hour behind Palmer and a half-hour ahead of Leonard and Middlecoff.
Wall, using his unorthodox baseball grip, had covered the front nine in 34 strokes, but he knew Palmer had carded, a 36, so he still was four strokes off.
He was teeing off on the 13th hole when word reached him that Palmer had triple-bounded the par.
Fullmer Eyes Andrade Bout
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPI) — Jay Fullmer, a member of the fighting Morman clan, today looked forward to a possible rematch with former lightweight contender Cisco Andrade.
Fullmer, 22-year-old brother of former middleweight champ Gene Fullmer, lost an unpopular split decision to Andrade Saturday night in a 10-round main event at the Palm Springs Polo Grounds.
But Hollywood Legion Stadium matchmaker Jackie Leonard said he would try to rematch the fighters in Hollywood in the near future.
Andrade, 135%, Compton, Calif., got the vote of judges Jimmy Wilby 2,319 tams.
The victory boosted the Dodgers' grapefruit league record to 13 wins and 8 losses to top the National League teams with a .612 average against the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates'. .538. The Dodgers also lead all American League teams except the Baltimore more Orioles, in first place with .652.
Erskeine, 32, yielded only three singles Sunday in five innings and walked none and fanned a pain Fowler, 36, retired nine straight As before Harry Chiti tapped him for a home run in the eighth.
It was the only homer Fowler has given up in 12 innings this spring.
He went onto issue a single and then retired the last six Athletic and won a round of applause from the fans.
Neal hit a solo home run to give the Dodgers a lead in the second inning that they never rinkquished. He also belted out double and a single to give him three hits for four times at bale Roseboro slammed out a right center field double in the third inning that scored Ron Fairly. He then singled and beat out a dribunt in four trips.

AT THREE OPENERS
CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI)—National League President Warren Giles will attend three openers this season—at Cincinnati Thursday, at Chicago Friday and at Milwaukee on Tuesday, April 14.
There were 15 other goaltenders ahead of him when he started Sunday's play, including eventual runner-up Cary Middlecoff, and the outlook was a dismal one.
He was playing a half-hour behind Palmer and a half-hour ahead of Leonard and Middlecoff.
Wall, using his unorthodox baseball grip, had covered the front nine in 34 strokes, but he knew Palmer had carded, a 36, so he still was four strokes off.
He was teeing off on the 13th hole when word reached him that Palmer had triple-bogey the parthree 155-yard 12th hole—the hole on which Palmer won the Masters last year.
"That gave me hope," Wall said. "So I said to myself—let's get going."
Cary Scores Eagle
He got going all right — three birdies in a row, then a par and then two more birdies.
He was on the 16th when he received word that Middlecoff had eagled the 520-yard 15th.
"That didn't make me too confident I could win it." Wall said. "But I figured I'd give it all I had."
He used a five iron on the parthree 190-yard 16th and two putted for a par from 40 feet.
On the 400-yard par-four 17th, he put his six-icon second shot 15 feet from the flag and sank the putt for a birdie. Then came the vital — and what turned out to be — the deciding 18th. On that 420-yard par-four hole, he put his nine-icon second 12 feet from the cup and knocked it in for another birdie.
That did it.
Stuart Misses Bus; He's-Fined $100

Valencia Nine
PLACENTIA — Having defeated ball clubs in two states Coach Roy Merk's Western Pioneers will meet a crew closer to home tomorrow afternoon as they face Valencia High School on the Tiger's home diamond.
Gametime in the non-League go is set for 3 p.m.
Western in their last outing defeated a scrappy and noisy Las Vegas nine, 3-1 on the strength of Dennis Painter's three-hit gem and a scoring outburst which produced three tallies in the second inning.
Locals Lead
Currently leading the Freeway League, Merk's lads drew a bye in the first day of second round action and it was decided to take full advantage of the situation with a game against the potent Tigers.
It is expected that either John Bosnak or Roger Aquinaga will assume the mound duties for Western and if either of these lads are in good form the Bengals will be in for some trouble.
They will be meeting hurriers who have shown some fine control in recent games, with Bosnak having shown tremendous improvement during the past few games.
Will Help
Also expected to help them are such men as Palmer, first base; Ben Fischer, catcher, plus Dave Sturrock, Marty Serlin, Butch Barthel, Keith Davis and Flavio German.
Following tomorrow's game the Pioneers will meet Rancho Alamitos in a Freeway clash on the Vaquero's diamond Thursday.
Unbeaten Trojans Snare New Track Triumph
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—University of Southern California's unbeaten track team today chalked up dual meet win No. 8 without a loss, looked at its freshmen talent coming up and decided the string might not be broken for a while.
While the Trojan varsity disposed of the respected Occidental college team of Los Angeles, 77 1-3-53 2-3, Saturday, the Trobabes gave the preview of things to come. They beat the Oxy frosh, 75%-51%.
Leading the SC freshmen were Dallas Long and sprinter Bruce Munn—both double victors. Long, who two weeks ago equaled the world record of 63 feet, 2 inches in the shop put, got off a throw of 61 feet, 2 inches to win that event.
He also won the frisch discus throw.
Munn duplicated the feat of SC junior Robby Sister.
The Whidcats went out in front 2-1 in the third by virtue of a triple by Bill Miller and a sacrifice fly, and it appeared that Colonyville was in serious trouble.
However, the defending Loop tiltists broke the game wide-open in the fifth when they scored three big runs to "ice" the decision.
Baker Singles
Bob Baker singled, he was sacrificed to second by Smith, the fleet Colonist outfielder moved to third when Vollom was safe on the shortstop's error and the locals had two men on the pillows.
Stark, who was now on the mound, aided his own cause with a single that scored Baker.
Vollom came steaming home on a fly ball by Bill Bielefeld, on first base, and Stark dented the plate when in a few moments Benny Ramirez walked, to load the sacks and a base on balls to Glen Herbel brought Clint homeward.
Stark then fanned the next six batters to face him, and that was all for the game.
Although Anaheim did bring home the victory, they were still shy at the plate as they were able to acquire only three-hits.
Once again the main factor was the local club's pitching attack, as the combination of Stark, Bill Bielefeld (the starter) and Dick Kreager, limited the noisy Nevadans to a pair of safeties.
Following today's game, the Anaheimers will go back to the practice field as they prep for their Thursday Sunset opener with Newport Harbor.
That game will be played at La Palma Stadium, starting at 3 p.m.
U.S. to Defend Davis Cup Title
NEW YORK (UPI)—The United States will defend the Davis Cup in the 48th challenge round, Aug. 28-30, in the West Side Tennis Club Stadium at Forest Hills, N. Y.
The U. S. Lawn Tennis Association ended weeks of speculation Saturday when it decided to hold the 1959 cup final at Forest Hills, where nine of the previous 18 challenge rounds held in this country have been staged.
It had been reported in the U.S. and Australia that this year's final cup series would be played at Los Angeles or the huge Rose Bowl in nearby Pasadena.
Victor Denny, USLTA president from Seattle, Wash., said the administrative committee gave serious consideration to Los Angeles.

The U.S. Lawn Tennis Association ended weeks of speculation Saturday when it decided to hold the 1959 cup final at Forest Hills, where nine of the previous 18 challenge rounds held in this country have been staged.
It had been reported in the U.S. and Australia that this year's final cup series would be played at Los Angeles or the huge Rose Bowl in nearby Pasadena.
Victor Denny, USLTA president from Seattle, Wash., said the administrative committee gave serious consideration to Los Angeles, the Rose Bowl and Boston College's new football stadium before choosing Forest Hills. He said it would have cost $80,000 to make the Rose Bowl or the Los Angeles Coliseum, which hold more than 100,000 suitable for tennis. He said this played a big part in the rejection of those big California layouts.
"We figure it will cost about $40,000 to stage it at Forest Hills. Also, the West Side Tennis Club has an experienced staff that conducted the last five challenge rounds held in this country," he explained.
The Forest Hills Stadium holds about 13,500. The 1955 challenge round at Forest Hills, the last one held in this country, produced a net of more than $100,000 before it was split. In the final cup series, the challenging nation shares the net profits on a 50-50 basis with the defending country.
