SPORTS 86 Brooklyn Farmhands Working Out Here; Play First Game Sunday The Brooklyn Dodger West Coast training camp moved into town this week and proceeded to fill La Palma park with ballplayers in which resembled the first day of football practice at Notre Dame. At last count, there were 86 men in uniform, trying out for positions on the Santa Barbara and the Billings teams and possibly other Brooklyn clubs. Santa Barbara is in the California State league while the Mustangs are in the Pioneer League—both Class C leagues. First Game Sunday First exhibition games are slated for Sunday with Santa Barbara playing Pocatello in La Palma Park and the Billings boys going to Fullerton to take on the Fresno nine. Intra-squad games were started Tuesday with the players divided into four squads—one game played at 10:30 a.m. and the second at 1:30 p.m. Work-out starts at 9:30 and continues until late in the afternoon. As in all Dodger camps—the emphasis is on speed. General Bob Clement Bob Clement, western supervisor of the Brookly club is in general overall command of the camp and is assisted by Howard Haak, Brooklyn's southern California scout and Bill Svillich, Brooklyn's northern California scout. Other field assistants are Chet Kehn, manager of Santa Barbara and of gates and the construction of a back-stop at the end of the 50-yard range. Anaheim boasts more than 400 rifle shooters—a number believed to be the largest per capita average of any city in the United States, according to National Rifle Association records. “In view of the number of persons interested in shooting here, need for the large new range is highly evident,” Maj. Comstock stated in urging all shooters to bring a shovel and rake and themselves to the Sunday work party. Through the courtesy of John W. Gilcrist, department manager of McCoy Motors, use of a tractor furthered progress last Sunday. Major Charles Pearson aided the project materially in procuring fencing material and providing a truck to haul it to the range. Plan City Rifle Competition Date of the area match, to be held in Anaheim within the next week or two, has not yet been slated. Finals will be fired in Sacramento within two weeks of the area competition, according to Major Ralph Comstock, commandant of the cadets at Anaheim Union high school. Last year only one Anaheim youth went as alternate to the Sacramento finals. Chances this year, with the local marksmen dominating the Governor's trophy event, look much brighter. General Bob Clement Bob Clement, western supervisor of the Brookly club is in general overall command of the camp and is assisted by Howard Haak, Brooklyn's southern California scout and Bill Svillich, Brooklyn's northern California scout. Other field assistants are Chet Kehn, manager of Santa Barbara and Larry Shepherd, manager of Billings.

Bryan Brothers On Stanford '49 Track Team Gay and Bob Bryan, Orange track stars, now competing for the Stanford Indians are figured to put on the first prominent brother act at that school since Ben and Sam Eastman ran the 440, 880 and relay together at Stanford in 1932. Gay, a senior, is one of the greatest all round track and field athletes in Stanford history. In last year's dual meet with USC he took 14 points, competing in the low hurdles, high jump and broad jump. Bob, up from last year's frosh squad, won the low hurdles and placed second in the broad jump against the Cal frosh last season. Plan City Rifle Competition A city championship small bore rifle competition is scheduled to begin the first week in April at the indoor range at the Anaheim Union high school. The shoot-offs will take place nightly over a four-week period, Major Ralph Comstock, commandant of the school's cadet corps stated. Target accuracy will be judged on prone and off-hand shooting only. The conest is open to anyone interested Major Comstock said. Rifle Match Honors Go to AUHS Cadets Anaheim Union high school cadets, in a small bore rifle match for the Lieutenant Robert A. Clausen trophy, last Thursday and Friday at the indoor range on the local campus, ran up a grand total team score of 1,667, topping team scores of St. Anthony and Santa Monica cadets. Shooting from prone, sitting, kneeling and off-hand positions the following markems ran un individual total scores as follows: Donald Barnett, Dan Berg, and Roderick Wallace, all 172; Charles Kipp, 171; Pete Verdin 170; Paul Rumfelt, 168; Ed Liptrapp, 164; Dick Rold, 161; Ed Evers, 161, and Alfred Lattin, 156. Upon the basis of these scores, nine of the ten youths listed copied the top ten places in the Governor Earl Warren trophy, Fourteenth District Match. Cleve Bixby of Santa Monica took seventh place honors with a 168 with the score he ran up in the March 24-25 match here. As compared with Anaheim's grand total score of 1,667, St. Anthony's total was 676, and Santa Monica's 647. Date of the area match, to be held in Anaheim within the next week or two, has not yet been slated. Finals will be fired in Sacramento within two weeks of the area competition, according to Major Ralph Comstock, commandant of the cadets at Anaheim Union high school. Last year only one Anaheim youth went as alternate to the Sacramento finals. Chances this year, with the local marksmen dominating the Governor's trophy event, look much brighter, Major Comstock commented. Last year's alternate was Bill Watters, son of Charles and Cora Watters, both of whom have the expert rifle rating with the National Rifle Association. Mrs. Watters is assistant instructor for the adult rifle class at the high school held each Thursday night. Local Fishermen At La Paz, Mexico Roy Mabee and a group of Orange county fishermen are expected to return from a week-long fishing trip at La Paz, Mexico, on the Gulf of California, Saturday, April 2. The fishing party took off from the Santa Ana airport last Saturday morning on the "Adventures," PBY Catalina flying boat. Included in the 20-man fishing party were Bill Steadman and John Lash of Anaheim. Only stop on the five-hour flight to La Paz is at San Diego where customs inspection is made. The plane follows the coast for 650 miles then cuts across the peninsula to Santa Rosaline and then follows the gulf for the remainder of the 900-mile flight to what Roy terms, "is the fishermen's paradise of the world." The deep sea anglers will be out after marling and sailfish. Indians Scalp AUHS Tracksters Losing their first Sunset League contest of the season, the Anaheim varsity Tracksters were edged out by the Fullerton Indians 59-45 last Tuesday afternoon on the winners field. The Colonists collected four first places and two of these were recorded by unbeatable Dick Carson in the high and low hurdles. Curtis Meade triumphed in the 100 yard dash while Dick Golden Work Party at New Rifle Range This Sunday All rifle enthusiasts are invited to participate in the big work party this Sunday beginning at 9 a.m. at the new outdoor rifle range being constructed in the industrial tract. A piping hot lunch will be served to civic-minded participants at noon by the Ladies' Rifle Clubs of Anaheim. Charles Waldo is chairman of construction, working in cooperation with City Engineers E. P. Hapgood and George Holyoke. Bob Williams, local sporting good store owner, is in charge of publicity. Work on the range, following a city appropriation of $2,000, has progressed rapidly. Intensified industry at the site is being urged by the associated riflemen in hopes it may be the scene of summer matches. The range was excavated by the city which also built banks around the firing area. To date 16 50-yard firing points have been installed. Local riflemen now are making 16 targets for which frames and standards already have been built. Fifteen movable pistol targets will be featured. Outline of this week's work will include stretching and installation of fence wire for which posts were erected recently; installation copped the top ten places in the Governor Earl Warren trophy, Fourteenth District Match. Cleve Bixby of Santa Monica took seventh place honors with a 168 with the score he ran up in the March 24-25 match here. As compared with Anaheim's grand total score of 1,667, St. Anthony's total was 676, and Santa Monica's 647.
