I'll Handel This By LEONARD R. HANDEL (Bulletin Sports Editor) When Anaheim's Bob O'Donnell rolled a 300 game at Freeway Bowl earlier this week it brought into sharp focus the great interest developing in the sport in the Orange County area. O'Donnell, of 1406 Chateau, almost immediately became a sports celebrity. A perfect game is something which does not come around in numerous degrees. Therefore, when one is recorded the lad who does the pin knocking attains a rather high place in the local sports whirl. O'Donnell has now become a rather interesting subject amongst sports fans in this area. In many spots fans can be heard to say that one of these days they are going to make "like Bob O'Donnell." This is a good deal for many reasons. One is that when fandom shows an ever-increasing interest in a given sport it cannot help but do anything but prosper. O'Donnell's game, which was rolled in the Orange County Tournament, will undoubtedly be the high point of the entire series which means that Freeway Bowl will also come in for a great deal of discussion. It will be interesting to watch future happenings in the kegling wars. Some fine games are being recorded in the other local pin palaces too. At WonderBowl recently a Santa Monica housewife alarmed through a 299 game and at Linbrook county pin-busters are also hitting well. Reasons for the increase in high scoring games are manifold. One is that the modern pin setter has brought to the sport a big step forward. It has done away with manual setting of pins and in so doing has also speeded up the game. Also, your bowling establishment has also become a recreational center in the community. It has grown in stature during recent years and it would seem almost a certainty that it will continue to do so in years to come. WonderBowl, for instance, has drawn a large number of youngsters in the afternoon and week ends. Thanks to the efforts of their genial general manager, Duke McGrew, local residents have started to look upon this facility as one of the best places to spend a few free hours. Linbrook, an establishment which handles many persons on the west end of the city, is in a like position. They have booked a huge number of Leagues and still they realize the importance of making available lanes for the fellow who just wishes to bowl a few lines by himself or with friends. The newest facility, Anaheim Bowl, has added many other items to the community's life.

They have booked a huge number of Leagues and still they realize the importance of making available lanes for the fellow who just wishes to bowl a few lines by himself or with friends. The newest facility, Anaheim Bowl, has added many other items to the community's life. They are making available tickets to Los Angeles Dodger ball games and also have contracted for buses to take fans to the park and back. Walk Guerrero, publicist director of Anaheim Bowl says that for $5.50 a fan can get a box seat and round-trip transportation to the ball park. A better deal could not be asked. While at first glance it would seem rather hard to figure just how the selling of baseball tickets fits into the bowling scheme, look at it like this. If a group planning on attending a game in this manner should decide to roll a few lines prior to departure time it is doubtful that Anaheim Bowl management would complain. It would seem that regardless of how it is viewed, the bowling picture in Orange County is extremely bright. The recent Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce Junior Bowling Tournament was a huge success and that group's Headpin Tourney, which will start Sunday also seems destined to great things. This affair will take place at WonderBowl and you can be certain that it is completed many of the top JayCee keglers in the Southern California area will have competed. It just might be that while the sport is enjoying a great boom, they have not seen anything yet. Which would be a good deal for all concerned. BOXING BEAT Art Agagon, he of the Golden Gap, will meet in a short time Haims Guder, who spends most of his time in the Long Beach punch palace. However, this bout will take place in Hollywood's Legion Stadium. It will take place April 26 and should be a right good one. Ray Robinson Will Defend Title In Quiet Hearing Room Not Stadium NEW YORK (UPI) — Sugar Ray Robinson finally was ready to defend his title today — not before a rearing fight crowd at Yankee Stadium but in a quiet, high-ceilinged hearing room in the state Supreme Court building. Lawyers for the middleweight champion are attempting to prevent the New York State Athletic Commission from stripping Sugar Ray of his crown, which he has not defended since he won it in a return bout with Carmen Basilio at Chicago last March. Robinson's legal beaches instituted a "show cause" order against the commission. Monday, the writ was returnable today. The presiding judge will be Justice Saul Streit, still remembered by sport fans as the man who handed down sweeping convictions in the college basketball "fix" trials eight years ago.

(Bulletin Photo) Tie Jinx Hits Mater Dei Again; Monarchs Deadlock Nobles By Bob Luskey That frustrating "tieing" jinx hit Coach Pat Roberts' Mater Del baseball team again yesterday afternoon as the Monarchs were deadlocked by St. John Vianney 6 to 6 at Memorial Park in Santa Ana. The stalemate was the fourth tie game of the season for the Orange Countians having already deadlocked Orange Coast JV's 2-2, Newport Harbor 6-6, Mary Star of the Sea 2-2, and now Vianney 6 to 6. Mater Del outhit the visiting Nobles 7 to 4 with catcher Bill Brennen pacing the Monarch attack with two hits in three attempts. The biggest blow of the afternoon came off the bat of second baseman Paul Gentleman who tripled in the fourth inning. Pitching wise staring Monarch chucker Jack Neal did fairly well in the first two and a half innings striking out 11 and walking three but in the third frame the Vianney hitters drew the junior right hand to the showers with a three run uprising. Replacement John Huarte came in to relieve in that frame and finished the game for the locals, allowing three more tallies to cross the plate. During his relief stint Huarte struck out two and walked three. St. John's looked like it was going to pounce all over the favored Monarchs when after two quiet innings the Nobles slipped three runs over to take a menacing three to nothing lead. Mater Del, not to be denied however, came back in the next frame as the locals put their hits together to erupt for five tallies and a five to three cushion. The see saw battle turned once more in favor of Vianney in the fifth inning when the Nobles added two more runs to their total.

Smith hit safely the first three times at bat, clitmaxing the spree with a two-run homer in the sixth that spelled the end of Johnny Podres on the mound. Alston said after the game that Podres was bothered by a chronic sore back that kept him from starting to duplicate his record of last season when he won 11 games in the Coliseum while dropping only four. Suider Benched Alston said he might use Jim Gillilara at third base tonight in place of Jim Baxes, and would bench Duke Snider who in the past had not hit well against Jackson.

In addition to the three Derby eligibles, the Placentia starters include Leovada, Vandy's Candy, Mobile's Gold, Little Rube, Bar The Door and Amber Sun. Pana Bar, for whom Brokaw paid $10,000 last fall, is the probable favorite.

Keith Davis kept the rally alive with a base knock that sent McManus to second and when Ben Fischer was hit with the pitch the bases were loaded. However, Flavio German then fanned to end the inning. The Ploneers took a short slow 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth when McManus acquired his third single of the afternoon.

Campy, paralyzed since an auto accident more than a year ago, "threw" out the first ball for the Los Angeles Dodgers' home opening game Tuesday night and then settled back in his wheelchair and watched while the Dodgers lost a 6-2 decision to the St. Louis Cardinals. But Roy, watching the Dodgers play a regular season game for the first time since his injury, couldn't keep his eye off that screen—an inviting target for just the sort of home runs he used to sock. "I'd sure like a shot at it," he said wistfully. "That's the way I used to hit them. It looks like a ball would go over it real easy." As for the Dodgers, Campy thinks they "look OK" but, might have been "a little nervous trying hard for this big crowd." The crowd of 61,552 gave Campanella a standing ovation when he was wheeled behind home plate by Peewee Reese, former teammate and now a coach of the Los Angeles club. Campanella told the crowd it was "an honor and a pleasure to be here, especially to be behind the plate again."
