Monday, April 13, 1959 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin—B-3 I'll Handel This By LEONARD R. HANDEL (Bulletin Sports Editor) Tomorrow afternoon Coach Roy Merk's Western Pioneers will open their second round of Freeway League competition when they face Rancho Alamitos' Vaqueros. Merk's charges, playing without a single senior, find themselves in the highly enviable position of being tied for Circuit leadership with the La Habra Highlanders. Those close to the Pioneer scene are well aware that their favorite ball club earned this right by knocking off three of their Circuit foes while losing to only one. This achievement was one which came as a major type surprise to Orange County baseball fans. As is well known, the Westerners are competing in only their first year on a varsity level, which means that they are giving away a great deal of experience and maturity on each occasion. Yet, regardless of this, they were able to down such good crews as Rancho Alamitos, La Habra and Buena Park. It's interesting to note that in all these games the locals were anything but a powerhouse at the plate. They defeated Rancho 1-0; dropped La Habra by a 2-1 count and then dropped Buena Park by a 1-0 margin. This means that the Merk-led Pioneers have been on the receiving end of some tremendous pitching performances. One lad who is chiefly responsible for this is sophmore ace Dennis Painter, who has not been allowing his lack of varsity-type experience to bother him. Painter is the young man who blanked Rancho and is also the lad who looked real good against Buena Park when he came in to relieve in the last inning and retired two men on strikeouts. In addition to Painter, John Henyan has also been turning in some good performances, which has helped Merk to a great degree. However, while much of the credit for the Pioneer victory must go to the pitching staff, another young man must be given his share of the plaudits. He would be catcher Ben Fischer, and a better receiver would be hard to find in Freeway circles. Fischer has shown an amazing ability for handling his pitchers with a good deal of baseball "savvy." He doesn't let opposing rallies — or threats of same — worry him and for this reason can help a pitcher twirl himself out of the difficulties. In addition to being a fine catcher, Fischer has also shown his prowess at the plate with a number of solidly rapped base knocks just when they count the most. Taking a quick look at the victory march of Coach Merks' wrecking crew, one can readily see that the team is winning for another reason, too. This is because the ball club has been working as a team, which is all anyone can ask of any given ball club.

Taking a quick look at the victory march of Coach Merks' wrecking crew, one can readily see that the team is winning for another reason, too. This is because the ball club has been working as a team, which is all anyone can ask of any given ball club. Fans know well that a ball club can have a number of "stars," but this means little or nothing if they do not work as a unit. The Pioneers have been clicking because each player is carrying out his assignment and in so doing has been trying to improve not only for himself but for the betterment of his teammates. Naturally, it is rather hard at this time to say that the Poineers are going to win the Freeway crown. They have a rather long road ahead of them. Should the Westerners continue to work as they have in the past, then they will be extremely tough to knock off. But it is still going to take a major effort for them to go "all the way." The remaining teams are still hot on their trail. WRESTLING NOTES The wrestling card at Anaheim High School Friday night was met with some good comment by those in attendance. A number of fans remarked that the Church of Latter Day Saints did a fine thing for the city when they brought professional grappling into the area. It was stated that the turnout proved that Orange County could support more of these shows. Interesting was the fact that the preliminaries drew as much excitement from the audience as did the main events. Pat Cronin, who promoted the affair for the church's Building Fund, is to be congratulated for bringing topflight grunt'n groaners into this community. It just might be that more will follow. LUSKEY PERFORMS Bob Luskey, the Bulletin's Mater Dei correspondent, makes like an actor tonight when he assumes a role in his class' senior play, "Two's a Crowd." Just goes to prove that us sports writing fellers are very talented in all fields. Bring on the greasepaint. DODGERS TOMORROW Those Los Angeles Dodgers open up at Memorial Coliseum tomorrow night when they face the Saint Louis Cardinals. If you're going — be there early. A record turnout is expected. Puzzled Eddie Arcaro Prepares To Ride First Landing at Jamaica NEW YORK (UPI) — A puzzled Eddie Arcaro will take First Landing for a six-furlong spin around Jamaica's egg-shaped oval today in a tuneup for the Wood Memorial—New York's final stepping stone to the Kentucky Derby. Arcaro still hasn't decided whether he will ride First Landing or Atoll in next Saturday's Wood, so today's race will have a direct bearing on his eventual choice. Atoll, with "Heady Eddie" aboard, scampered to an impressive victory over Intentionally in the Gotham Stakes at Jamaica Major League Standings United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Kenny Lane and Johnny Busso, the two unsuccessful bidders for Brown's lightweight title, tumbles at Los Angeles Friday in the week's best fistfight. Lane is an 8-5 favorite for scheduled 10-rounder, which he be broadcast and televised nationally by NBC. Lane, a fast-punching south from Muskegon, Mich., is the 1 contender in the 135-pound vision while Busso is ranked 1 lane has lost only six of 61 bouts and Busso, a native New York, has a 35-8-1 record 44 starts. Wednesday night's nation television (ABC) fight will heavyweight Sonny Liston of adelphia against Cleveland liams of Houston, Tex., at M Beach, Fla. Liston is a 2-1 cote for the scheduled 10-rounder. Heavyweights Battle Williams, who has scored amazing 34 knockouts in 44 fiwill be making his national debut. Liston also has an impressive record. He has won straight bouts and has lost one of 24 outings.

Arcaro still hasn't decided whether he will ride First Landing or at Toll in nex Saturday's Wood, so today's race will have a direct bearing on his eventual choice. Atoll, with "Heady Eddie" aboard, scampered to an impressive victory over Intentionally in the Gotham Stakes at Jamaica last Saturday and now shapes up as the horse to beat in the Wood. However, if First Landing wins "big" today, Arcaro may have trouble picking between the two Derby hopefuls. In 1942, Arcaro faced a similar dilemma leading up to the Derby when he had to pick between Shut Out and Devil Diver. He guessed wrong, finishing fifth aboard Devil Diver while Shut Out, ridden by Wayne Wright, won the classic. First Landing will carry top weight of 124 pounds against six rivals in his 1959 New York debut today. The son of Turn-To was named the nation's outstanding juvenile last year when he won 10 of 11 starts but hasn't been too impressive thus far this season. Hunter Tests Johnson In New York Bout NEW YORK (UPI)—Billy Hunter of Detroit and Alonzo Johnson of Rankin, Pa., a pair of promising heavyweights, square off tonight in a scheduled 10-round nontelevised bout at St. Nicholas Arena. Both turned in impressive triumphs over veteran foes in their last appearances at the ancient fight club—Hunter gaining an upset decision over Bob Baker and Johnson scoring an easy decision over Jimmy Slade.

Pennant Fever Hits San Francisco Camp SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Cynics might say that it is a little early but it looks as though San Francisco is suffering from a severe cast of pennant fever. The undefeated San Franciscans returned home last night and were met by a host of dignitaries and an estimated 5,000 fans. Today, the tempo increased with the team slated to get a hero’s welcome in a gala parade through downtown San Francisco. Twelve thousand balloons, 1,000 pounds of confetti and plenty of ticker-tape were to be showered on the team, while pom-pom girls, college bands and the leather-lunged Foghorn Murphy saluted the Giants. The parade was to end on the steps of City Hall with Mayor George Christopher presenting each Giant with a set of cuff-links. The first home game is Tuesday with a full house near certainty at Seals Stadium as the Giants host the Chicago Cubs. Jack Sanford is to make his debut on the hill for the locals. Sunday, the Giants completed their impressive three-game sweep at St. Louis with a 6-3 triumph. The San Francisans omithit the Redbirds 13-6, but the issue was in doubt until the top of the ninth, when Jim Davenport singled, and with two men out, Orlando Cepeda tripled and Felipe Alou homered. Both extra base blows were into the teeth of a stiff wind from left field. Young Mike McCormick started for the bay team and pitched well, but was almost across in the first with Alou, Andre Rodgers and Cepeda committing bobbles. In the third, the Giants got one back when Bob Schmidt doubled my Hornsby vs. Alfredo Urbina. Saturday: At Kingston, Jamaica—Charley Sawyer vs. Gerald Grey; at Manila–Al Asuncion vs. Boots Monroe. Tonight the Dodgers will be hosted by the Los Angeles baseball writers at a gala affair in the International Ballroom of the Beaverly Hilton Hotel in nearby Beaverly Hills.

Stars Galore Roy Campanella, former Dodger catcher paralyzed 15 months ago in a near-fatal auto accident and the Cardinals’ Stan Musial will be honored tonight at the annual Dodger dinner. Art Linkletter will emcee the affair and songstress Dinah Shore and singer Frank Sinatra will be among the celebrities entertaining Mayor Norris Poulson also will be on hand along with some 1,400 fans. The Dodgers, starting off their season with a loss to the Cubs retrieved their honor Sunday by hind the hitting of Don Demetrius slammed out a two-run home in the seventh innning to put team one run out in front. Gil Hodges opened up the new frame with a double off of Gil Hobbie who relieved loser Taylor Phillips in the eighth, and the Hodges scored on a line single by rookie Ron Fairly to give the Dodgers a safety run and the lasty of the game. Banks Connects The Dodgers seemed in for a repeat of Saturday’s loss Sunday when the Cubs’ Ernie Banks blazed out a two-run triple in the third innning off of starter Sandy Koufler to open up the scoring in the contest witnessed by 10,824 fans to 40-degree weather. Banks scored Tony Taylor and Lee Wallis and then scored himself on a single by Walt Morryn. But that was the end of the Chicago scoring. Johnny Klipstein went in to relieve Koufler in the fourth and was credited with the win for a three-inning string. Clem Labine finished on the game. The Dodgers picked up their own two runs in the fourth on walk, a double by Jim Baxes and a double by rookie Norm Sherman which scored both Rip Repulsions and Baxes. This week's major bouts also include: Monday: At Stockton, Calif.—Ricky Kalingo vs. Abe Haynes; Providence, R.I.—Johnny Freiis vs. Bob Hawk; at Chicago—Tonio Marcilla vs. Willie Westok; at Buffalo, N.Y.—Gene Victorice vs. Peter Schmidt.

The Yankees immediately cut roster to 29 players by assigning Baxes and Martyn to Richmond. Baxes hit .212 in 79 games in the A's last year while Martyn .261 in 95 games, mostly as a rush-hitter. ACE RAINED OUT TRENTON, N.J. (UPI) — Rainced the postponement Sunday after the 100-mile national championship auto race at the Trenton speedway in the midst of the three trials.

HANK THOMPSON WILL BE ARRAIGNED TODAY NEW YORK (UPI) — Hank Thompson, former New York Giants third baseman, was to be arraigned in felony court today on charges of burglary and assault for allegedly slugging a woman press agent and stealing $3 from her purse. The charges against Thompson, a Negro, were brought by Mrs. Ruth Bowen, 34, who told police she and her husband, Billy Bowen, a musician, had known Thompson for about six years. Pretty Betsy Rawls Wins Zaharias Go BEAUMONT, Tex. (UPI) — Pretty Betsy Rawls, who combines athletic ability with brains, has carried off the biggest share of the loot from the Babe Zaharias Women's Open golf tournament. The Spartanburg, S.C. golfer, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Texas, played two fine rounds Sunday—firing a two-under-par 71 and then a par 73—to win first money of $897 with a 54-hole total of 215. Louise Suggs, of Sea Island, Ga., finished second with 218. Marlene Baier Hagge of Pittsburgh was third with 220. Trojans Snare California Win United Press International The University of Southern California today held its 17th straight dual track meet win over California via White in 9.9 and easily taking the 220 in 21.7. Bobby State was another upset winner by taking the 440 in 47 seconds from California's Jack Yerman. His mark tied the meet record. The only other double winner on the day was by SC's Charlie Duras, who won high hurdles in the meet record time of 14.2 and the high jump with a leap of 6 feet inces. Occidental edged UCLA, 69-62, a dual meet Saturday in Los Angeles by winning the mile relay the final event, by three yards. UCLA's Sid Peliston filed a protest that he was bumped by Jim Coyne verny in the final turn, but the foul was not allowed. In other weekend action, the powerful Southern California Striers humbled three opponents Saturday at Camp Pendleton in four-way track meet by piling Western Pioneers to Battle Rancho Alamitos Tomorrow a record of three wins Freeway League starts, Roy Merk's Western Ploy meet Rancho Alamitos school tomorrow afternoon Raq's diamond. Time is slated for 3 p.m. in defeated Rancho in last meeting when the local game through with a 1-0 triumph. Pioneers and Vaqs were in a scoreless deadlock to the bottom of the seven Dave Sturrock, a leader Western horsehide attack, through with the victory tally. That contest for the Westerners was Dennis who authored a white-washing job and it is believed that the Rancho club will face him once more tomorrow. While the Pioneers do hold a victory over the normally rugged Vaqueros it is expected that they will be facing a much tougher foe in the coming contest. Nips Orange The Rancho nine proceeded to knock off highly-touched Orange later, in first round competition, and since that time have recorded a number of good contests. During the last week Merk's lads have been working to improve their attack at the plate, a rather weak point in the local hitting attack. Merk has said on numerous occasions that he is worried about this as they cannot always depend on good pitching and a maximum amount of fielding strength. In their last outing the Pioneers were defeated by Valencia's Tigers with this loss also seeing the Westerners tallying a mere four safe blows. Merk, looking toward the Rancho contest said, "We are going to have to play heads up ball to defeat the Rancho Alamitos club as they are one of the better teams in Freeway League play." Pitching Chores Expected to handle the pitching chores for that ball club is Ed Riley, a senior moundsmen, who suffered the loss in the opening game although he turned in a fine performance. Riley is rated as one of the best flingers in the Circuit and it is quite possible that he will be in perfect condition for the contest tomorrow. Western is currently tied with La Habra for League leadership, with both teams owning fine marks. The Pioneers defeated La Habra in their first meeting. Expected to see a great deal of action for the locals tomorrow are such men as Keith Davis, Ben Fischer, Marty Serilin, Butch Barthel, Flavio German and Bud Irvin. A good turnout is expected. Dodgers Return Home After Chicago Victory ANGELES (UPI) — The Los Angeles Dodgers returned home after a strenuous spring training session in Florida and play-first two games of the 1959 National League season. Californians split with the Chicago Cubs, beating the hosts day and losing the Saturday opener 6-1. the Dodgers will be by the Los Angeles baseball at a gala affair in the national Ballroom of the Bev-Hershey Meets Sport Parade Hershey Meets Buffalo Bisons In Hockey Tiff United Press International It will be the Hershey Bears vs the Buffalo Bison in the final series of the American Hockey League Calder Cup play-offs. The Bears battled their way into the finals against Buffalo by edging the Cleveland Barons, 4-3, in the deciding game of their semi-final series Sunday afternoon at Cleveland. Veteran Willie Marshall scored a goal and assisted on two others to lead the defending Calder Cup champions to their decisive victory. Dunc Fisher, Mike Nykoluk, and Obie O'Brien were the other Hershey marksmen. The hard-fighting Barons, who had forced a seventh game by beating Hershey, 3-1, Saturday, battled back in the final stanza on goals by Bob Bailey and Art Stratton, but their rally fell short of the mark. It was the second straight year that the Cleveland club had been beaten in the first round of the play-offs after finishing second during the regular campaign. The Bears will meet the Bisons, who knocked off Rochester in a five-game semi-final set, in the first two games at Buffalo April 15 and 18, with the series moving to Hershey for the third and fourth games April 18 and 22. If additional games are needed, they will be played at Buffalo April 26, at Hershey pril 28, and at Buffalo April 29. Honor Campy In L.A.

Hershey Meets Buffalo Bisons In Hockey Tiff Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPI)—Ever since the days of Mary, Queen of Scots, golfers have been trying to get a ball which will fly farther than the pellet used by the fellow on the other side of the five-shilling Nassau. Everybody is always angling for an "edge" and, in lieu of talent, the best method seems to be in having a ball which will go farther than the other guy's. Which makes of particular interest the current claims that certain golf balls will travel 10 to 15 yards farther than other makes. The manufacturers are in quite an undercover hassle over these claims and the U.S. Golf Association is inclined to believe, simply because of its standard of specifications, that most of the assertions are merely delusions of fair-way grandeur. All Are Tested The USGA limits golf balls in smallness, weight and velocity. The minimum diameter is set at 1.680 inches the weight limit at 1.620 ounces and the impact velocity at 250 feet per second. In the latter category the ruling body permits a two per cent tolerance, which makes a ball with a 255 foot per second velocity acceptable. All balls are tested on a special machine to ascertain that they fit USGA specifications. This seems to indicate that the only ways in which one ball could vary would be in toughness and in the distressing matter of not being up to par so that it will not play as far as the rules permit. However, this is a struggle which has been waged unceasingly since the Scots came up with a feather ball in the 19th century. That ball simply was a mass of feathers stitched into a leather casing and the best of golfers found it difficult to surpass 150 yards with a drive. Nicking Helps The solid gutta percha ball, with a smooth surface, was conceived in 1890 and gave the game with both teams owning fine marks. The Pioneers defeated La Habra in their first meeting. Expected to see a great deal of action for the locals tomorrow are such men as Keith Davis, Ben Fischer, Marty Serlin, Butch Barthel, Flavio German and Bud Irvin. A good turnout is expected. Honor Campy In L.A. Tonight LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Roy Campanella will be honored tonight along with his former Los Angeles Dodger teammates by the baseball writers of Los Angeles. Campanella, paralyzed 15 months ago in a near-fatal auto accident, arrived here Saturday for tonight's shindig and the opening of the Dodger home games Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. "I'm really and definitely considering moving here," said the 37-year-old former catcher who now lives in Glen Cove. N.Y. "The weather's nice. Besides, I've been in baseball so long it's part of me, and I want to stay a part of it." "My wife likes it too," he said, "but first I'm going to bring the kids out here to see how they like it. The three youngest — Roy, Tony and Princess — are coming out for the first game." Campanella will hand over the baseball Tuesday night to get the Dodger-Cardinal game at the Coliseum underway. 156 points. Camp Pendleton was second with 21 points, San Diego Track and Field Club next with 6 and Pepperdine College last with 2. University of California at Santa Barbara beat San Diego State, 74-57, in a California Collegiate Athletic Association dual meet at Santa Barbara. Claremont-Mudd College won the Kellogg-Voorhis track meet at Pomona by racking up 48 points. However, this is a struggle which has been waged unceasingly since the Scots came up with a feather ball in the 19th century. That ball simply was a mass of feathers stitched into a leather casing and the best of golfers found it difficult to surpass 150 yards with a drive. Nicking Helps The solid gutta percha ball, with a smooth surface, was conceived in 1890 and gave the game a shot in the arm. The only difficulty was that it was battered rapidly and companies sold a home press for remoulding balls as well as ball-painting machines. Then, like the fellow who discovered the wonders of roast pig when his house burned down, golfers learned that the gutta percha ball played better when nicked. The wound rubber ball was developed in the early 1900's. The sharples soon discovered nicking the smooth ball also paid handsome yardage dividends. When the smooth ball pushed through the air it caused eddies to build up in front of the ball and check its forward motion. Claims Doubtful Thus the manufacturers in 1908 came up with the dimpled surface in use today. The dimples, spinning in flight, reduced the negative pressure by breaking up the vacuum areas building up in front of the ball. Without USGA specifications to hold things in check, the manufacturers conceivably could come up with a ball that a midget could wallop to the moon with a mid-mashle. Thus, while the distance squeeze remains perpetual in the interest of sales records, the advertising assertions can be taken with a whole shaker full of salt. If they really want to brag about something, let 'em build a ball guaranteed to fly in a straight line. This one is a double-dyed cinch to outsell anything in the history of merchandising.
