I'll Handel This
By LEONARD R. HANDEL
(Bulletin Sports Editor)
With the start of the major league baseball season chances are real good that a certain breed of "fan" will once again make his presence known.
This is the "joker" who reports to all unfortunate enough to listen that he wants faster baseball.
Those close to the scene need no introduction to this person.
He is the one who appears in the columns of many sports-type writers but for some strange reason never appears at the park.
It would seem that the lad is nothing more nor less than a tool of the "experts" attempting to figure what is wrong with baseball.
Now, we will agree that the sport does leave something to be desired. Attendance figures have not been especially high in all cities, which has given many baseball men something to think about.
However, it does not seem logical that the fact that games take more than two hours has anything to do with this.
It would appear that if a feller were in a hurry he would not be going to a baseball game.
For some strange reason we have gained an opinion that a person attends a baseball game, not to set any speed records getting home.
It just might be that the people most interested in speeding up the game are those who would profit by it.
Make sense?
It figures that ball players and a few writers, too, would like to see the game stepped up so that it would shorten the work day.
Just ask yourself this question.
When YOU attend a ball game do you take any time to worry about how quick the game is progressing — or do you pay the most of your attention to what is transpiring on the field?
It might also be that one reason the lads are pointing the accusing finger at the wrong party.
As we have said before, there are a number of items hurting the game — but a time factor isn't one of them.
Baseball must realize that fans want topnotch performance — especially on the major league level and when they get this how long the contest takes means little or nothing.
True, some games make a fan believe he has been in the park since the year before the Crimean War.
But this is not what is being discussed.
We believe that the "old saw" which tells of fans wanting games stepped up in pace is little more than the wishes of those who play and some who write.
It certainly is not the belief of friend fan.
SPONSORS NEEDED
Lloyd Trapp, the heavy-hitting member of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department is worried.
Lloyd reports that sponsors for the Park and Recreation Department-led summer program are rather hard to find.

SPONSORS NEEDED
Lloyd Trapp, the heavy-hitting member of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department is worried.
Lloyd reports that sponsors for the Park and Recreation Department-led summer program are rather hard to find.
For the small sum of 45 dollars, a club, service group or business firm can sponsor 15 lads.
This program is one of the best in Southern California and deserves the support of all.
Each summer this project affords large numbers of local youths the opportunity to compete in a program which shows them the best way to get started in the athletic whirl.
In addition to this the groups so sponsoring will be able to place their name in front of the public throughout the summer months.
The youngsters are given a shirt and cap, with the name placed on the chest.
You know these lads as well as the writer you will quickly realize they will take them off on very few occasions.
A quite possible that nothing short of a royal command willush the feat.
A day, it is for a tremendous cause.
All you need do is call the Park and Recreation Department, KE 3-1321 and ask for Lloyd Trapp.
He will be glad to help you.
FURTHER NOTE
Don Arnett has been named to replace John Cyprien, who leaves to take his new position in Orange Friday.
He will assume the role of Playground Supervisor as well as Director of Men's and Boys' Activity.
Bomb-Throwing Sonny Liston Seeks Bout With Patterson
By ANDREW REESE JR.
United Press International
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPI) — Sonny Liston, a bomb-throwing heavyweight contender from Philadelphia by way of St. Louis, today was clamoring for a fight with anybody, including champion Floyd Patterson.
Liston, because of his impressive record, has had trouble finding suitable opponents in recent months. And his search figures to get tougher considering the easy manner in which he demolished rugged Cleveland Williams of Houston, Tex., Wednesday night in a nationally televised bout.
Warming up quickly after a slow start, Liston was awarded a technical knockout over Williams at 2:04 of the third round after flooring his taller rival twice earlier in the session.
It was the 24th victory in 25 pro fights for Liston, who is ranked fourth in the heavyweight division behind Ingemar Johansson, Zora Folley and Henry Cooper. Liston weighed 212½ pounds to Williams' 210¼.
"We're ready for anybody."

Wednesday's Results
BOSTON (UPI) — American League pitchers will have another two to three weeks to polish their form. Ted won't be back for at least that long.
Ted, of course, is Theodore Samuel Williams of the San Diego Williamses. And while a doctor's report Wednesday was dark news for Williams and the Boston Red Sox, it must have been met with relief by every opposing pitcher in the league.
Dr. Charles A. Fager announced after inspecting Ted's pinched neck nerve that the 40-year-old slugger won't be able to begin workouts for at least another 7 to 10 days. His return to the Boston lineup wasn't expected for another two to three weeks.
Dr. Fager said that while Williams was "doing very well" he would have to continue to wear a protective neck collar four to six hours a day for the next week to 10 days.
After that, "if all goes well," said the Boston neurosurgeon Williams would be able to discard the collar and "start active training."
Williams, six - time American League batting king who owns a 349 lifetime average since coming into the league 20 years ago has already missed three Boston games.
He entered the New England
Warming up quickly after a slow start, Liston was awarded a technical knockout over Williams at 2:04 of the third round after flooring his taller rival twice earlier in the session.
It was the 24th victory in 25 pro fights for Liston, who is ranked fourth in the heavyweight division behind Ingemar Johansson, Zora Folley and Henry Cooper. Liston weighed 212½ pounds to Williams' 210¼.
"We're ready for anybody now," said Liston's manager, Pep Barone, in the dressing room. "My guy will even fight Patterson if he's willing."
Lison, a 3-1 favorite, dropped Williams for an eight-count with a solid left hook in the third round. Williams went down again seconds later under a barrage of punches and struggled to his feet at the count of nine. That's when referee Jimmy Peerless halted the fight to save Williams from further punishment.
"I got the idea that—I could slug him," said Williams, who suffered his first defeat in his last 12 starts and only the third of his 47-fight career. "That's where I made my mistake."
Win Clark Dies; Was Baseball Official
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Win Clark, secretary of the Association of Professional Ballplayers of America (APBA) for 20 years, died Wednesday night at Good Samaritan Hospital.
The 84-year-old baseball figure, well-known in the game for a half-century, suffered a heart attack Feb. 6 and entered the hospital Sunday.
Although he had been confined to a wheel chair since 1950, Clark continued to head the APBA, which aids ill, broke or handicapped ball players.

Mater Dei Baseballers Tiff Mary Star Squad
By BOB LUSKEY
Out to protect their lead in the Parochial League pennant race. Mater Dei will take on strong Mary Star of the Sea tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 in a crucial loop encounter slated for Peck Park in San Pedro.
This will be the second meeting of the year between the two clubs although no decision was reached when they first met March 18, in Santa Ana.
On that date, the Monarchs and Stars fought to a disappointing 10 innings before calling it "quits." The make-up of that deadlocked game will take place on Thursday, April 30.
Mary Star was an early pick along with defending champ Pomona Catholic, for the 1959 Parochial League horsehide crown. However, two dark horses, Mater Dei and St. Paul's, have come on strong to give the two favorites more than their share of trouble.
Lead League
At present Mater Dei and Pomona lead the league with five wins and one loss. Next in line is surprising St. Paul High of Santa Fe Springs with a 4 and 2 record. Mary Star has had considerable difficulty in getting its title fight off the ground, having run up an unimpressive three-win, three-loss record.
Mater Dei's wins are over Pomona 10 to 4; San Gabriel Mission 8 to 4; St. Francis 12 to 1; St. John Vianney 6 to 0 and 1 to 0. That latter 1 to 0 victory over Vianney was via the forfeit route. Actually, the Nobles and Monarchs tied 6-6, but an out of hand argument be led by locals' homer output with three four masters. Huarte and Layton both have one round tripper apiece to follow Gonzales.
After tomorrow's away game, the Monarchs will return to Memorial Park in Santa Ana to tackle San Gabriel Mission next Tuesday afternoon.
Chapman Takes Jockey Lead At Alamitos
LOS ALAMITOS — Kenneth Chapman, a 29-year-old race rider from Charles City, Iowa, was back in an old and familiar spot today — atop the jockey standings at Los Alamitos Race Course.
Chapman, leading rider at Los Alamitos in 1957, and a perennial contender for the title, took over Broglio, the Oakland, Calif., rookie who dropped his first start to the Giants.
Alston revealed he probably would use slugger Duke Snider in right field tonight to rest rookie Ron Fairly, who went hitless Wednesday night.
Gaiety Prevails
In contrast to Tuesday night when the gloom was heavy in the Dodger clubhouse after they dropped the home opener to the Cards, gaiety prevailed there Wednesday night with Don Drysdale the center of attention for his shutout.
"I didn't feel very good when I was warming up," the lanky, Van Nuys youngster said after the game. "But when I started working I was on top of the batters almost all the way."
Although Alston was pleased with his star's performance, he insisted that Drysdale buy a round of soft drinks for the entire squad for failing to cover first base in the eighth inning on Gino Cimoli's infield grounder that went for a base hit.
The Dodgers won the game in the fourth when four singles pushed across two runs, but the big blows and only extra base hits of the game were lead-off homers in the sixth and seventh by Don Demeter and rookie third baseman Jim Baxes.
Musical Thrown Out At Plate
The Cardinals came closest to scoring in their half of the sixth when Stan Musial, Ken Boyer and Joe Cunningham all singled with two away. Musial raced for home on Cunningham's liner to center-field but Demeter threw a strike to the plate and he was tagged out.
Rookie Cardinal Mgr. Solly Hemus protested so violently Musial was safe that umpire Dusty Bogess threw him out of the game.
Larry Jackson was charged with the loss although he struck out nine Dodgers including the side in the first inning, but weakened in the fourth and was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh.
Buffalo Bisons Snare Victory Over Hershey
BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) — Two goals by Eddie Kachur sparked the Buffalo Bisons to a 4-1 victory over the Hershey Bears Wednesday night in the opening game of the final round of the American Hockey League's Calder Cup play-offs.
Billy Dea of Buffalo and Arnie Kullman of the Bears matched first-period scores, but after that the Bisons dominated the play.
Kachur clicked for his first goal.
Wrestling Loop in Orange County
TA ANA — Formation of Orange County wrestling conference for prep grapplers is a clear reality today following meeting at Mater Dei High last night.
Riding were representatives Anaheim and Western High, plus Fullerton, Mater Dei (Ana, Valencia and Valley Santa Ana).
Presenting Anaheim was John while Jerry Humrighouse lent Western.
Second meeting will be held by evening in the home of the Dei's Dick Coury at which through draft of a League by will be made.
Group has the sanction of California Interscholastic Federation.
FOUR WINNERS COLN, R. I. (UPI) — Phil boosted his riding leader to 34 winners at Lincoln when he rode four winners today.
At Alamitos
LOS ALAMITOS — Kenneth Chapman, a 29-year-old race rider from Charles City, Iowa, was back in an old and familiar spot today — atop the jockey standings at Los Alamitos Race Course.
Chapman, leading rider at Los Alamitos in 1967, and a perennial contender for the title, took over the top spot yesterday before 6.002 fans, with his third riding double of the meeting.
That riding double brought his total for the first five days to six winners and gave him a one-up lead on Efrain Garza, himself a two-time Los Alamitos riding champion.
Chapman, who started off the day with a winner aboard favored General Doug in the first race, took over the riding lead with a smashing nose triumph aboard Ricardo Loustaunau's Sure Now in the featured Rossmoor Purse.
Sure Now, the first horse ever to hang a defeat on famed Go Man Go, made his first start of the year a winning one at the expense of Easter Maiden and Dandy Bar, as heavily backed Vandy's Flash wound up fourth in the eight horse field.
Overlooked in the wagering, Sure Now paid $24.90, $15.80 and $6.70 across the board after racing the 330 yards in 18.2 over a dull track. Easter Maiden paid $8.60 and $4.10 and Dandy Bar $3.90.
General Doug was one of four winning favorites. The others were Bob Fish at $6.60 in the third, Suleona at $5.90 in the fifth, and Snooper Lee at $6.00 in the sixth.
WINS FOUR STRAIGHT
LAUREL, Md. (UPI) — Jockey Howard Grant won four straight races Wednesday at Laurel.
Victory Over Hershey
BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) — Two goals by Eddie Kachur sparked the Buffalo Bisons to a 4-1 victory over the Hershey Bears Wednesday night in the opening game of the final round of the American Hockey League's Calder Cup play-offs.
Billy Dea of Buffalo and Arnie Kuillman of the Bears matched first-period scores, but after that the Bisons dominated the play.
Kachur clicked for his first goal of the game at 16:38 of the second period and that actually was all the Bisons needed. However, Bill Dineen tallied another goal at 7:48 of the third period and 19 seconds later Kachur hit again on a solo to wrap it up.

Arp Anaheim Tracksters
Race Huntington Tomorrow
increasing number of victories behind them,
Hager's Anaheim Coloquad will meet a spiritton Beach gasper crew on the local cinder path tomorrow.
Meet time is slated for 3 p.m., with a good turnout expected.
Anaheim, which defeated Fullerton in their most recent Sunset League event, has been showing fine form during the past few weeks and it is believed that they will be ready to give the Oilers a rugged afternoon should each local athlete be in shape for the meet.
Paced by such good men as Denis Vollom, Bob McPhillips, Bill Smith, Mickey Castricone, Gary Shepard, George Bragg, Bill Crain and Gary Dow, the Colonists are expected to enter a slight favorite over a Huntington club which could pull the upset of the season should they drop Hager's squad.
Dash Ace
Smith, who is the dash specialist for Colonyville will have his work cut out for him come meet time.
Pacing the Oiler drive are a number of good men who have earned a big name for themselves during earlier Loop meets, and other track contests.
Another man who will be forced to exert a real effort is Bill Crain, mile ace, who will likewise have to display his best try if he is to come through with a decision.
Anaheim currently is leading Sunset League gaspers, having defeated Garden Grove, Newport and Fullerton.
They are rated as one of the better crews in the Orange County area, but those close to the local track scene have expressed the opinion that the visitors tomorrow could give Anaheim a tight fight right down to the final event.

Order Montreal To Win Quickly
TORONTO, Ont. (UPI) — The Montreal Canadiens were under orders today to make quick work of the Toronto Maple Leafs, a team which to a man believes their Coach Punch Imlach when he says, "You'll win the Stanley Cup."
Montreal Coach Toe Blake, still morose over the 3-2 overtime loss Tuesday night that cut the Canadiens lead to 2-1 in games in the final round, told his players to beat Toronto today and again in Montreal on Saturday.
Blake wasn't talking publicly himself, but several players said he wanted it finished off quickly.
Apparently Blake, who is trying for a record four straight championships, is worried about the comeback capabilities of the Leafs, who found themselves in an identical situation when they were behind 2-0, in games to Boston and won the semi-final, 4-3. That time, too, they won the crucial third game, 3-2, in overtime.
Blake will have to finish the series without one of his superstars, injured center Jean Bellbeau, and apparently won't be able to use the highest scorer of all time, Maurice Richard, except in emergencies.

Phillies' Move Doesn't Excite 'Fans' of Club
NEW YORK (UPI) — A statement by the mayor of Philadelphia that the Philadelphia Phillies are "discussing" moving to New York didn't appear to be generating much excitement here today.
Mayor Richardson Dilworth said Wednesday in Philadelphia he had been told that Bob Carpenter, owner of the Phillies, had been meeting with Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York to talk over the possibility of a shift.
But Wagner and a spokesman for Carpenter both denied such meetings have been held.
Wagner did state that William Shea, chairman of the special committee which Wagner has appointed to bring another major league team to this city, has spoken to Carpenter "more than once." But there was no indication any of these talks were held recently.
Carpenter's spokesman said the Phils' owner told Shea some 18 months ago he "wasn't interested" in moving the Phils to New York.
And only last week Shea said that he thinks plans for a third major league were the "best possibility" of bringing another team here soon.
