Philadelphia Will Play Seven Games Athletics Will Open Training Season Here March 3 with Seattle Seven contests in 16 days is the schedule which Connie Mack has arranged for his Philadelphia Athletics at their La Palma park stadium training camp next March. The entire Philadelphia schedule, which includes more than 40 games, was announced late last week. The Athletics will open their spring training schedule on Sunday, March 3, with the Seattle Rainiers, who did their training at La Palma stadium last spring, providing the competition. Seattle is training this year at San Fernando. Two of the seven games will be against major league competition; the first of these contests being Friday, March 15, when the Pittsburgh Pirates come to Anaheim. This game should be one of the biggest drawing cards of the spring season because Floyd "Arky" Vaughan, former Fullerton boy, will probably be in the priate lineup. The second major league game will be played the following Monday, March 18, against the Chicago White Sox. Jimmy Dykes Sox are a popular team and should prove another outstanding attraction. Portland; Los Angeles and Hollywood, are the other clubs To Train Here Pasadena Beats Anaheim Sundays Seven Errors Contribute Defeat; Specs Esser Raps Ball Hard Anaheim's Athletics apparently were so impressed by the bobbled made by the old-timers in the four-inning curtain raiser Sunday that they tried to follow the example, because they booted a total of seven chances and it cost them a 6 to 5 defeat at the hands of Loren Urey's Pasadena McChambley. Bill Thomas pitched well enough to have won the contest easily but his support collapsed in every crucial spot but one, and the result was a defeat instead of victory. The Portland Beavers hurler blanked Pasadena with only one hit in the first three rounds but trouble started in the fourth inning and the Merchants race over two runs before the side could be retired. A snappy double play, Sturgeon to Graham, wiped off the only Pasadenan to get hit in the first three innings. Pasadena added another pair runs in the fifth inning, picked up a lone tally in the seventh and then scored the winning run in the ninth when Sturgeon let a double play ball get away from him. Anaheim peeked away at the offerings of Lefty Hal Levin for single runs in the first four innings, and scored the final run in the sixth. The tying run was on third base in the last of the ninth innings, with two oust, when Frid Gunther let a perfect third strike. Flight Training Will Start Soon Actual flight training for Santa Ana junior college aviation students is expected to start shortly after January 1, it was revealed this week by H. O. Russell, instructor. The flights will begin as soon as three new training planes arrive in Santa Ana, he said. Instructors for the flights will be Jerry Keeley, Joe Hager and Floyd Martin, all of whom have been or will be given teaching credentials by the Civil Aeronautics authority, Russell said. Students will be coached in the air six half-hour lessons each week, and in addition will receive four hours of ground instruction at the college and airport. Of the 30 members of the class, two are girls, Florence Longsdorff and Anita Potter. Shown above is George Caster, one of the ace pitchers of the Philadelphia Athletics, who will train in Anaheim next spring. Caster has spent some time in Anaheim during the winter and appeared during the old-timers game last Sunday. BOWLING LEAGUE NOTES, STANDINGS Play in the various leagues at the Anaheim Bowling center has been postponed until after the first of next year. Last week's schedule was completed; however. In spite of dropping a 3 to 1 decision to Klein's Contractors, the Oyster Loaf cafe retained its first place position in the Commercial league. Beckler & Comstock, in second place last week, dropped to fifth by losing to Crystal Ice company, 3 to 1. In the other game, M. Eltiste & Co. won 3 to 1 from Wisser's Sports Goods. Kerr of Eltiste's and Klein of Klein's Contractors tied for high individual game score with 217, while Maley of Eltiste's had high series with 548. League standings: W. L. Oyster Loaf Cafe 20 12 M.

Retail Petroleum Dealers also scored a shut out over the Golden Rule market, while Lions club got a 2 to 2 draw with Curley's Cafe-Valencia Market.

Dealers 8 4 Pasadena added another pair of runs in the fifth inning, picked up a lone tally in the seventh and then scored the winning run in the ninth when Sturgeon let a double play ball get away from him. Anaheim peeked away at the offerings of Lefty Hal Levin for single runs in the first four innings, and scored the final run in the sixth. The tying run was on third base in the last of the ninth innings, with two oust, when Fri Gunther let a perfect third strike sail over the plate. In the previous inning, the Athletics had made on second and third, but could push them across. Hitting honors for the day were to Specs Esser, Anaheim right fielder, who blasted out three extra-base hits in four times bat. One of his blows was a low triple to leftfield fence and the other two were doubles into the same area. Wallis, Pasadena short stop, accumulated four hits in five times at bat and scored four runs. Everybody in the ball game by Gunther and Anderson, Pasadena catcher, got at least one hit as boys pitches were touched for safeties. Next Sunday afternoon, Manager Joe Huarte sends his Athletics against the strong Walker Roofer of Los Angeles in an effort to go back into the win column.

Newton, sponsor of an initiative proposal to establish a state lottery and legalized gambling, visited Santa Ana last Friday to arrange for circulation of petitions seeking to place the proposition on the next general election ballot. The plan is to use revenue from the lottery and gambling licenses and fees to replace other taxes in the state and to also provide a pension of $75 a month for every person over 60 years of age. Youth Accused of Indecent Exposure A 17-year-old Anaheim youth was remanded to juvenile court by City Judge Frank Tausch Monday morning when the youngster was arraigned on a charge of indecent exposure. The boy was arrested Sunday afternoon on complaint of residents in the 900 block on North Palm street. Figures show that, in areas where the population still is in a process of formation, the proportion of sexes has not had time to find its natural level. In Europe, there are more women than men, but in the New World the situation is reversed. Buy Now and Buy in Anaheim!

While most of the men present had done the majority of their playing in the higher minor leagues, there were also several former major league stars in uniform and tossing the horsehide around. Among the better known of the old timers were Bob Meusel and his brother, Irish Meusel, who did quite a little sparkling for the rival New York clubs 15 years ago and longer... Jack Bliss, one-time St. Louis Brown, also performed for a short time as did Charlie Deal. Some of our own townsmen who have seen service in professional baseball also gave the fans a chance for a little fun. Included among them were Police Chief Jim Bouldin, Jimmie Heffron, Fred Baumberger, Walter Amstutz, Ray Smith, Chili Fisher, and ethers whose names do not come to mind now. Fay Lewis, Bus Callan, Glen Callan and Harry Hughes were among the former members of the Anaheim Elks team who played. Two present-day notables also did their bit to make the Elks Christmas charity game a success. They were Beans Reardon, popular National League umpire who FULLERTON YOUNG MEN'S SERVICE ORGANIZATION CREATES MUSEUM With only a job of landscaping still to do, members of the Fullerton 20-30 club are receiving congratulations on establishment of a Fullerton historical museum. The structure, which will house pictures, momentoes and other reminders of past days in Fullerton, is exactly as old as the city itself, for it was built in 1887 by the brothers, Edward and George Amerige, as a sales office from which lots in the tract were first seld. About five months ago, when Don Wiese was president of the club, the group set to work with the germ of an idea. The inception of it probably came from George Amerige himself, surviving founder of the city and honor member of the 20-30 club. At any rate the young men planned the details and did the labor.
