Thursday, May 7, 1939 Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin—8-5 I'll Handel This By LEONARD R. HANDEL (Bulletin Sports Editor) When Coach John Wallin's Anaheim Colonists were whitewashed by Garden Grove's Argonauts this week it brought into sharp focus the fact that Sunset League baseball has changed. It used to be that the local forces were the powerhouse of their Circuit, an almost sure-shot cinch to capture the League title. However, with the graduation of many of the top men who produced these achievements it was only natural that the Colony would suffer a weakening in their attack. Taking a look at the baseball fortunes in the Colonist camp, one is amazed that they were able to carry on with the winning method as long as they did. One of the major reasons for this, of course, has been the tremendous job turned in by Wallin himself. The Colonists' answer to Casey Stengel has written in the local sports history book a mark which will not be forgotten for a long time. He has won many League titles and while the locals were never able to win the California Interscholastic Federation title, they did go quite far in play-off action. Wallin in the years at the Colonist helm has produced many men who will always be remembered as the greatest horsehiders to come out of this city. Who will ever forget the base running genius of Don Penfield, the pitching brilliance of Bob Scholz or John Baker, the hitting excellence of Bill Essex, Gary Thornton, Bob Hatfield or Irv Knowles? Irv, as you know, is now playing for Reno of the California State League, a member of the Los Angeles Dodger organization. John was greatly responsible for the accomplishments of Knowles as he was for these remaining Colonists. Although his present ball club is not recording a winning record you can be certain that John will not allow them to quit fighting until the last game is played. The local mentor is also teaching these young men something far more important than how to win ball games. He is showing them the best way to conduct themselves, both on and off the field. He is teaching them respect, fair play and sportsmanship which means 100-per-cent more than the victory or defeat. Wins and losses are forgotten in later years. However, the lessons learned from a devoted coach such as John will long be remembered. Anaheim is fortunate in having the services of a man like John. He has done a brilliant job — and will continue to do that in the seasons to come. FIELD DAY Reservations are coming in fast for the Anaheim Golf Association Field Day which will take place come May 26 at Meadowlark Golf The local mentor is also teaching these young men something far more important than how to win ball games. He is showing them the best way to conduct themselves, both on and off the field. He is teaching them respect, fair play and sportsmanship which means 100-per-cent more than the victory or defeat. Wins and losses are forgotten in later years. However, the lessons learned from a devoted coach such as John will long be remembered. Anaheim is fortunate in having the services of a man like John. He has done a brilliant job — and will continue to do that in the seasons to come. FIELD DAY Reservations are coming in fast for the Anaheim Golf Association Field Day which will take place come May 26 at Meadowlark Golf Course in Huntington Beach. Leo Drummond, Field Day official, reports that those interested in attending must pay their 1959 dues — that is, if they wish to play. Better make your reservation early. It should be a real good deal. WRESTLING CARD Anaheim wrestling fans are looking forward with great interest to the May 15 grappling card which will pit Lou Thess, heavyweight champion of the world, against Mr. Moto, who appeared here just last month. Held for the benefit of the Church of Latter Day Saints, Anaheim, the card should produce some highly interesting moments. Moto doesn't lose any love for Thesz and Lou is not exactly a member of his opponent's fan club. Promoted by Pat Cronin, former professional wrestler, the event's gate receipts will go towards the construction of a church in Anaheim for the Latter Day Saints. Thus, when you attend, not only will you be seeing a fine card but also be going into something highly worthwhile. Better go. GINSBARG, RAH Bernie Ginsbarg of 1018 Modena Place, Anaheim, is firm in his belief that soccer would draw big crowds in the local area. A soccer player himself, Bernie has had many years' experience in the field. It is quite possible that he has a few good ideas. Anybody else like to see this happen? McGREW SHARP WonderBowl's Duke McGrew has just returned from the tournament in St. Louis where he and his partner, Foy Belcher, finished third in the doubles event. Duke rolled a 719 with the games totaling 248-225-246. Not bad. Giardello Decisions Mims In Television Main Event WASHINGTON (UPI) — Joey Giardello, disregarding brow cuts he suffered in his nationally televised victory over Holly Mims, bid today for a re-match against Spider Webb to "prove" his right to a shot at the vacant NRA middleweight championship. Giardello, ranked No. 6 in the 160-pound class, kept his title hopes alive by scoring a split decision over fifth-ranked Mims of Washington in their 10-round bout here Wednesday night. The next stop, Philadelphia Joey figures, should be a bout with Webb—the man the NBA says should be the first to get a crack at the winner of a proposed Carmen Basilio-Gene Fuller middleweight title bout. Giardello, who has been battling for 11 years in an up-and-down career, gained his victory over Major League Leaders United Press International. National League Player & Club G. AB R. H. Pct.

That's the latest clinical report on the New York Yankees who dined on Kansas City under moon Wednesday night and look ready for tougher meat. Two victories over the Athletic don't constitute a pennant-clinching, of course, but the Yankees did have that old robust look when they bowled over the K.C. cousins, 7-4. Their two three-run innings were their biggest rallies since April 21. Their run-total and 12-hit total were their largest in 13 games. And they connected for more than one homer in a game for the first time since April 21. On Way Up In all, it was enough to demonstrate that the worst is over even if the climb toward first - place contention may be slow and difficult. The Yankees are in seventh place but the fourth - place Chicago White Sox are only two games away and even the first place Cleveland Indians are only 5½ away. The Indians alipped back to ward the field one full game when they bowed to the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, the Washington Senators whipped the White Sox 6-4, and the Boston Red Sox crushed the Detroit Tigers, 17-4 in other AL games. The Milwaukee Braves retained first place with a 5-4 victory over the LA Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0, and the St. Louis Cardinals 8-7, in National League activity. Allison Hits Grandslam The Yankees wasted no time flexing their muscles. Tony Kekel led off with a homer and double that made it a three-row Bill Skowrout routed Bob Grif before a man out. Norm Shibern greeted Ralph Terry with double that made it a three-row innning and came back in t Giardello, Panicked not hope alive by scoring a split decision over fifth-ranked Mims of Washington in their 10-round bout here Wednesday night. The next stop, Philadelphia Joey figures, should be a bout with Webb—the man the NBA says should be the first to get a crack at the winner of a proposed Carmen Basilio-Gene Fuller middleweight title bout. Giardello, who has been battling for 11 years in an up-and-down career, gained his victory over Mims by the narrowest margin. Referee Eddie Lefond voted for him, 91-88, and judge Benny Alperstein agreed by a 95-92 count. But judge Julian Whitestone saw Mims the winner by a razor-thin margin, 95-94. Giardello was more marked than Mims at the finish. He was cut over the left eye in the first round and over the right eye in the eighth, and in his dressing room both brows resembled chopped liverwurst. Ready for Triple Crown States Willie Shoemaker LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Jockey Willie Shoemaker says he is glad for the chance to win horse racing’s “Triple Crown” by signing to ride Brookmeade Stable’s Sword Dancer in the May 16 Preakness. Shoemaker returned home here for his engagements at Hollywood Park following his victory aboard Tomy Lee last Saturday in the Kentucky Derby. The jockey said he would ride at Hollywood Park until May 15, then fly to Maryland for the Preakness. He will return here after that race and go east again in June to ride Sword Dancer in the Belmont Stakes—third leg of the Triple. Tomy Lee will not compete in the Preakness or Belmont but if Shoemaker wins on Sword Dancer it would be a jockey’s “Triple Crown.” Major League Leaders United Press International National League Player & Club G.

New York Giants, Coli May Train at La Palm La Palma Stadium, which is already going to be the training site of Green Bay Packers may also be the camp of both New York Giants and Baltimore more Colts, it was learned by the Bulletin today. Final action, which would allow the two National Football League teams to operate in Anaheim is expected at Tuesday evening's City Council meeting. One problem does stand in the way of the Giants' training schedule, though, as they have asked for the week of Sept. 20, the starting week of Sunset League play. No date has been asked for the Colts' training session. DISCUSSED — Anaheim Colonist base- catcher John Wallin (center) is seen as he is tomorrow's Sunset League game Fullerton's Indians with Clint Stark (left). Colony Pitcher, and catcher Tom Lambeth. They will probably compose the battery for Colonyville in tomorrow's contest. Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke of Anaheim Colonists, who won the Sunset League football title last season, placed five men on the first team which will represent the North in the First Annual Orange County North-South Game, it was announced by tilt manager Dix Arbenz today. The Colonists placed Jim Shiota, George Bragg, Leon Sims, Chuck Smith and Bob McPhillips on the squad. In addition the locals also place Mike Chamberlain on the alternate crew. His chore will be to take the place of a regular in case of jury or any reason which would prevent him from playing. On the starting team Shiota tackle, Sims and Bragg ends, while the remaining Colonists patrol backfield. Chamberlain is a guard. The game, which will take place in August, is expected to draw good turnout of Orange County fans, who will be receiving the last opportunity to see these stars in action on the high school level. All are seniors and will move to college after this game. Brea Leads While Anaheim placed five men on the starting team, they beat out for top honors by Brea Olinda, of the Orange League, they put six gridders on the fielder. Patient Now Off Critical List; Best Division Seen for Yankees By FRED DOWN Press International off critical...ate Wednesday night...may up and around first divithe latest clinical report New York Yankees who Kansas City under moon day night and look ready easier meat. Victories over the Athletics institute a pennant-clinch-course, but the Yankees that old robust lookey bowled over the K.C. 7-4. Their two three-run were their biggest rallies April 21. Their run-total and total were their largest in. And they connected for one homer in a game first time since April 29. On Way Up It was enough to demonat the worst is over even limb toward first - place may be slow and diff-the Yankees are in sevce but the fourth - place White Sox are only two away and even the first-ever Indians are only by. Indians slipped back to the field one full game they bowed to the Balticoles, 6-5, the Washington whipped the White Sox, the Boston Red Sox the Detroit Tigers, 17-6, AL games. The Milwauaves retained first place 5-4 victory over the Los Dodgers, the Chicago at the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the St. Louis Cardinals National League activity. Lison Hits Grandslam Yankees wasted no time their muscles. Tony Ku-off with a homer and that made it a three-run Dougal plus a single by downtown routed Bob Grim a man was out. Norm Sieeeteed Ralph Terry with a that made it a thee-run and came back in the 10 years (7-2). Battle Of Homers The Red Sox beat the Tigers in a battle of nine homers and thus handed Jimmy Dykes his first defeat in his new managerial post. The Braves completed the first phase of their 1959 schedule exactly even with their 1958 pace—12 wins and 7 losses—when pinchhitter Wes Covington singled home the winning run in the eighth inning. Dave Hillman, 31 - year old "hard luck" pitcher, tossed a two-hitter as the Cubs beat the Pirates for the second straight game. Stan Musial's first homer of the season and 299th of his career and a two-run pinch double by Joe Cunningham were the big blows as the Cardinals rallied with four runs in the eighth inning. Sam Snead Near End Of Fabulous Career By HAL WOOD United Press International PALM SPRINGS. Calif. (UPI) The slammer is nearing the end of his illustrious golfing career, and he knows it. "If I qualify," said Sam Snead with a wistful look in his eyes, "this 1959 National Open may be the last one in which I play." Snead, like Jimmy Demaret, Byron Nelson and other greats of the past quarter century, doesn't get the kick any more out of traveling around to the big events. Slamming Sammy, who has won nearly every important crown in goldfom, except the open, doesn't feel too badly about the whole thing. "It's been a lot of fun," he said. "I go from here to my home at White Sulphur Springs to defend my championships. After that who knows? Snead, reported to be one of the richest men ever to swing a golf club for pay, has seen and played against the best in the world. Sam's List Here is his list of bests in more than 20 years on the professional tour: Best man with a driver—Byron Nelson. Best putters—Bobby Locke, of South Africa and Ben Hogan ("that Hogan was one of the best clutch putters ever to step on a green"). Best long irons player—Nelson.

SIGN TWO TACKLES PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — The Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive tackles Down Owens and Jess Richardson to 1959 pro football contracts. Sam's List Here is his list of bests in more than 20 years on the professional tour: Best man with a driver—Byron Nelson.

Kids Putt Better Difference between the players of today and yesterday—"These kids are all better putters." Snead made one of his infrequent trips to the West Coast to appear in the all-star golf TV show. He was the 1958 defending champion, having won 13 consecutive matches, good for $26,000, in 1958. He was knocked off in the first match by 23-year-old Gary Player of South Africa. Does he think Player has greatness ahead? "I can't say that," said the outspoken shotmaker. "I think he has reached his potential." And so, picking up his $1000 check after losing to Player, the great slamming Sam headed for the land he loves—"West (By God!) Virginia." W L Pct.

See Record Turnout For Dodger-Yank Go By HENRY RIEGER United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The largest crowd in baseball history, at least 90,000 persons, was expected tonight for an exhibition game between the Yankees and Dodgers, but they'll pack them in at the Coliseum principally to pay tribute to Roy Campanella. Campanella night is a benefit for the injured catcher, formerly the National League's most valuable player and one of the most popular players in either league. The contest also marks the in-season West Coast debut of the world's champion Yankees. Mgr. Casey Stengel said his star, Mickey Mantle, and relief ace Ryne Duren would come here for the game although they and three other members of the team were stricken with flu earlier this day. Dodgers Battle Giants Today SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—Swift firing Jack Sanford takes the hill today for the San Francisco Giants against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sanford, whose early season performances and 4-1 record are making the Giant front office men look like the last word in trading sages, will be opposed by Stan Williams, 0-0, on the season. The Dodgers, real pushovers for the Giants last season when they could win only six of 22 games, took San Francisco two out of three times in Los Angeles earlier this season. The rookie studded Dodgers have looked like the most improved club in the league so far and the Giants lead them by only percentage points in the standings. The Dodgers will be in Seals Stadium for the first four games of a long home stand for the Giants. The San Franciscans will be playing 21 of their next 24 contests at home, with time out only for a three game set against the Dodgers. Giant Manager Bill Rigney said he is looking for his club to up their team batting average, which now stands at slightly above .250. While the key sluggers, Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Felipe Alou, are all hitting above .300, Rigney expressed hope they might start knocking down the fences. If the Giants' hitters begin to click and the pitching holds up, San Francisco could pick up important ground during the next three weeks. The Dodgers can be expected to be a bit travel weary during the first two games of the series. They flew here from Milwaukee Wednesday night and must fly to Los Angeles after today's game for a tilt tonight against the New York Yankees in a Roy Campanella benefit affair. The Dodgers will return to San Francisco tomorrow for a game under the arcs at Seals Stadium. Los Angeles dropped a 5-4 verdict to the Milwaukee Braves Wednesday although they led 4-1 after six innings. Wes Covington, just recovered from a flu attack, was the villain at the Coliseum principally to pay tribute to Roy Campanella.

He will share in receipts from this game and another in New York between the two teams next season. Campny Now Coaching Campanella is an advisory coach for the Dodgers, and his assistance is credited with improvement of the Dodger catchers John Roseboro and Joe Pignatano. Campy also has been earning money to meet heavy medical and family expenses by doing radio commercials. The Yankees flew here from Kansas City for the game, and will participate in a pre-game ceremony tonight which will include Los Angeles city and county officials, as well as National League President Warren Giles.

They flew here from Milwaukee Wednesday night and must fly to Los Angeles after today's game for a tilt tonight against the New York Yankees in a Roy Campanella benefit affair. The Dodgers will return to San Francisco tomorrow for a game under the arcs at Seals Stadium. Los Angeles dropped a 5-4 verdict to the Milwaukee Braves Wednesday although they led 4-1 after six innings. Wes Covington, just recovered from a flu attack, was the villain as far as the Dodgers were concerned. Covington singled to score Eddie Mathews with the winning run in the eighth inning. Mathews got his third single of the game in the inning, scoring Felix Mantilla with the tying marker. Rookie Bob Giggle was the winning pitcher, and Art Fowler the loser. For the Dodgers, all the action was packed into one inning—the fifth. Los Angeles got all its runs in that inning, with Charlie Neal scoring one run with a single and Don Demeter driving in two more with a single. An error by Joe Adcock in left field permitted the fourth Dodger run to score. All the runs were off Joey Jay, the Milwaukee starter. Catcher John Roseboro of the Dodgers belted the ball into the wind, and Hank Aaron caught it in front of the screen to end the inning with the bases still loaded. Fourteen walks figured in the game, with 32 players used. Rookie Gene Snyder started for Los Angeles but left the game in the seventh. WILL ADDRESS STUDENTS COLUMBIA A, S.C.
