Green River Golf Course To Ease Crowded Condition Orange County golfers, who for many years have been seeking new playing facilities, are on the verge of acquiring a new course with the near opening of the Green River Golf Club in the Santa Ana Canyon. Slated to open for game play in June, the course is located at the intersection point of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. A project of the Bicklyn Corp., Corona, the course will be of the public variety with Southland "par busters" afforded an opportunity to play for a nominal fee. President Henry Bickler, Santa Ana, reports that the course will be open to all golfers on much the same basis as Willowick. "However, there will be one difference," Bickler said.

The man-made lake cent to the eighth and which figures to make more interesting. President Bickler rep Tri County Tournament planned with golfers fr Minute struggle eventually won by the Dodgers, 9-7, in 11 innings. It was a battle of homers—with Don Demeter hammering out three two-run round-trippers including the game-winning shot in the 11th inning. The traditional rivalry which wrote some of the greatest stories in the annals of major league baseball moved from New York to California last year but turned out to be pretty much of a bust as the Giants piled up a 16-game edge over the Dodgers. Fourth In A Row But the Dodgers have bounced away from the starting gate this season with seven victories in 10 games and Tuesday night's victory was their fourth in a row. A year ago they dropped six of their first nine games and never were in contention. They finished a dismal seventh. Demeter hit his first horrier in the third inning when the Dodgers took a 5-1 lead and he connected again in the fourth to lift the Los Angeles bulge to 7-3. But the Giants tied the score with four runs in the fifth and that's the way it stood until Demeter connected again in the 11th. The first of Demeter's homers also marked the first inside-the-park round-tripper ever hit in the Los Angeles Coliseum. It was a long drive that skipped past censors. Southwest Little Loop Elects Officials for Year Mrs. Lillian Hobson has been elected President of the Southwest Anaheim Little League Ladies' Group at a meeting in the Palm Lane School. Other officers elected were Mrs. Doris Eckert, vice-president, Mrs. Helena Vallentiny, secretary and Mrs. Mabel Cate, treasurer.

SET UP POINT SYSTEM NEW YORK-(UP) Raceway officials have a new point scoring eligibility in the $500 championship pace July 23. Points will be on a 4-3-2-1 basis races, with the high standings being selected. I'll Handel This By LEONARD R. HANDEL (Bulletin Sports Editor) It is quite possible that when the Los Angeles Dodgers square off against New York's Yankees May 7 a record attendance figure will be reached. To be played for the benefit of former Dodger catcher Roy Campanella, the game will bring together two teams which have produced some rather interesting happenings in the baseball whirl. Those close to the horsehide scene are of the opinion that the coming clash could easily be another in the series. It is figured that when fellers such as Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Hank Skowron arrive in Memorial Coliseum about the only persons safe from flying missiles will be those seated in Forbes Field, Pittsburgh. It goes without saying that although this will only be an exhibition game, both teams will be fighting their hardest for the victory. Los Angeles will be strutting their stuff against the American Leaguers for the first time before the local clientele and for this reason will want the win. Meanwhile Casey Stengel's men, who seem to find it a slam at their dignity to lose even one, will be attempting to show those in attendance that Los Angeles or Brooklyn, the Yanks still have the "double whammy" on them. The coming game brings back memories of the 1941 World Series when in the fourth game, Mickey Owen, a fine receiver, let the third strike of the final batter get by him and the Bronx Bombers went on to win the game. This naturally brought forth a number of smart remarks from those on the Yankee side of the line that Brooklyn could not even win after three were out. It will be memories such as this that will be traced through the mind of Dodger coach Pee Wee Reese. Reese, along with Charlie Dressen, are the only Dodgers remaining from that ball club. Both would dearly love to knock off the Yankees if only in an exhibition go. This encounter will be interesting for many reasons. Other than the actual ball game is the fact that once again baseball is helping to break down the belief that there is no sentiment in the sport. The Yankees are making a special trip to the West Coast for it and the Dodgers are also exerting a tremendous amount of added energy to compete. The National Leaguers have a game in San Francisco that afternoon and following that will fly to Smogtown for their date with the New Yorkers. After that they will return to the Bay Area for a game the next day with the Giants. groundbreaking chore for the house, Henry Bickler (right), secretary, start to take a few it will open in June. (Bulletin Photo) Course Condition that a men's club will be formed which will be sanctioned by the Southern California Golf Association. Many Affairs This group will conduct various affairs and will be given certain preference in starting times. Howver, even if a golfer does not belong—to this group he will still be able to acquire starting times which will suit him. "We will try to allow golfers to reserve starting times," Bickler said, "as this would be a great aid to those who have busy schedules and cannot always play." The course itself is going to be highly interesting. Those using the facility will be competing in three different counties, and if this were not enough, will also be contending with a number of water holes which figure to add to the skill needed. A golfer will "tee off" in San Bernardino and finish his first hole in Riverside. He will then stay in that County until after driving on the fifth tee. Then he enters Orange County and stays there until the eighth. He will start the ninth hole in Riverside and will then go to San Bernardino for the 10th. The remaining holes will be completed in Orange. Other than the rather interesting geographic location of the course, it will also be anything but simple for the golfer. Yardage Total It will consist of a total of 6,380 yards and will be a par 71 course. The man-made lake will be adjacent to the eighth and 12th holes, which figures to make it all the more interesting. President Bickler reports that a Tri County Tournament has been planned with golfers from the surresee, along with Charlie Dressen, are the only leaders from that ball club. Both would dearly love to knock off the Yankees if only in an exhibition go. This encounter will be interesting for many reasons. Other than the actual ball game is the fact that once again baseball is helping to break down the belief that there is no sentiment in the sport. The Yankees are making a special trip to the West Coast for it and the Dodgers are also exerting a tremendous amount of added energy to compete. The National Leaguers have a game in San Francisco that afternoon and following that will fly to Smogtown for their date with the New Yorkers. After that they will return to the Bay Area for a game the next day with the Giants. Main reason for this is the accident which ended the playing career of popular Campanella. Roy, who was rated as one of the finest catchers in the sport, suffered near fatal injuries in a tragic crash near his home of Glen Cove, New York. His recovery was slow, painful and tedious. Yet it has been stepped up through his interest in baseball and the desire to return to the game. Although Campy made fine salaries while a member of the Dodger organization, medical expenses come high. It is hoped that the May 7 tussle will afford Roy with some much-needed extra monies to fight the injuries which have struck him. Southland fans are going to be given a chance to kill two birds with one stone as they will not only see a top flight ball game but will also be assisting Campanella when he needs help most. Nothing more could be asked. RECREATION PROGRAM Let us not forget that Lloyd Trapp of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department is still seeking sponsors for the Summer Recreation Program. Through its efforts many youngsters will be given an opportunity to play ball and you can certain that they will take the fullest advantage of it. All your business firm or club need do is donate 45 dollars to the sponsoring of one team of 15 youths. They will be issued "uniforms" consisting of a shirt (with the name of the sponsoring group printed upon them) and a baseball-type cap. They will be given fine instruction in all fields of athletics by trained personnel. Last year record numbers of local youths participated and it is believed that these figures will be surpassed in the year to come. Remember, you can help. Call Lloyd Trapp at KE 3-1321. You won't be sorry. DANCE FRIDAY Do not forget that Western High's Boosters Club will hold a dance in the Elks Club Friday night. To be held for the benefit of the group's coming events, the affair promises to be a highlight of their year's schedule. The public is invited. MOON HERE Wally Moon, Los Angeles Dodger outfielder, has moved to Anaheim. The fine Los Angeles athlete has been hitting well and fielding smoothly during his local tenure.

Gametime is slated for 3:15 with a large turnout expected for the fray. Anaheim, which defeated Fullerton 5-4 in their last encounter, will be meeting a Huntington nine which figures to give them a real battle. The Beach City nine has been playing some fine ball in Loop operations. Although the two clubs will be meeting for the first time in Circuit action, this is the second time during seasonal play the clubs will square off. The Colonists defeated Huntington 6-4 during the La Habra Kiwanis Baseball Tournament, but it took a last inning rally for the locals to ease out the win. Tomorrow's game figures to be a rough one, with the club scoring first standing a fine chance of emerging the victor.

"I'm no good to the team on the bench or to myself," said Furillo, who has a .300 batting mark for 13 major league seasons. He hit .290 last year and led the club in runs batted in with 83, but has appeared in only five games this year. Sports Roundup REJECTS BOXING BAN HARTFORD, Conn.

La Habra won with a run in the last of the seventh, 1-6. (Bulletin Photo) Highlanders Defeat Western With Run in Last Frame Highlanders Defeat Western With Run in Last Frame LA HABRA — Scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning, La Habra's Highlanders clipped Coach Roy Merk's western Pioneers 1-0 on the winer's diamond yesterday. The victory avenged a first round 2-1 victory of the local forces over Coach Pat O'Donnell's Freeway League leaders. Yesterday's contest was another in a series of "heart stoppers" for the Western nine as they appeared on the verge of breaking the game wide-open in the first inning but were unable to cash in. From that point they were held at bay by Highlanders starting and winning pitcher Mike Barnette. Mike then retired the next 17 men to face him as he kept the locals completely off the base paths. During that time he struck out six and forced remaining batters to either hit harmless fly balls or ground to the infield. While Barnett was authorizing a masterful performance against the Pioneers, losing hurler Dennis Painter was doing rather well himself. He was in complete control through most of the game but ran into trouble in the seventh. It all happened rather quickly once the Highlanders did finally push over their run. Skip Blair led off the frame with a single. Major League Standings United Press International National League W. L. Pct. GB Milwaukee 5 1 .833 ... Los Angeles 7 3 .700 ...
