SPORTS By BOB FUNSETH Your columnist has been accused of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust act and has been placed on the black-list of the Society for the Prevention of the Formation of Cartels (S.F.T.P.O.T.F.O:C). This accusation is based upon the bouquet-tossing indulged by this column at regular intervals, say the investigators. This practice, according to the undercover men, has led to the assumption that my efforts are not confined to the Corona but include sinister implications that I am in cohoots with the posie industry. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I haven't purchased a gardenla since my eighth grade prom and can produce affidavits proving I haven't as much as begged a wilted lily from any of the posie shops. In fact, the only bit of Nature's finery that can be pinned on me is a half-bottle of Four Roses that I picked up in the gutter of Center street one Sunday morning. 'Nuff said. It's just to forewarn all concerned that I'm once again on an orchid-throwing spree—the kind that are the best and leave no hangover. They're for the founding fathers and new brothers of the Anaheim Junior American Legion Baseball tournament. These men have established an event which yearly gives over 1,000 kids an opportunity to play ball in a big-league park. It gives them an opportunity to play ball. GUSTAVUS REPORTS: Gustavus the Gopher includes in his weekly report the startling news that Al Collier broke a hundred last Sunday morning. Gus says he's sure this is the first time the haberdashery tycoon has pulled the feat since Eve stole the apple for Adam. In fact Al carded a 95. Gus is quite a gopher. His friends include some of the greatest and most prolific sleeers, hook artists and dobbers in all southern California. I met Gus the first time I went out to the Orange county garden spot and discovered that he is quite a philosopher. His outlook on life can be summed up in the phrase, "It could have been worse." He told Al that once when he six-putted the difficult number two hole. Gus tells it to me on the average of 115 times per game. Championship Tournament Receive 5-Day Las Vegas Winning team in the Anaheim tournament will be sent on a 5-day Las Vegas, Nevada, it was announced nament committee. Included in the itinerary are and Lake Mead with scheduled Vegas. Accompanying the team will be the pitcher from the runner-up team and the player who sells the greatest number of tickets on a new automobile to be auctioned off in October. Week-End Games Sixteen games will highlight the action this week-end with Nuff said. It's just to forewarn all concerned that I'm once again on an orchid-throwing spree—the kind that are the best and leave no hangover. They're for the founding fathers and new brothers of the Anaheim Junior American Legion Baseball tournament. These men have established an event which yearly gives over 1,000 kids an opportunity to play ball in a big-league park. It gives them an opportunity to play ball period. Because without this tournament these boys would be without organized baseball following the completion of Legion league play at the end of June. It all started four years ago, when the wonderful six, fully cognizant of the gap that existed after the Fourth of July, dug deep and coughed up fifty bucks each to pay for the maternity ward fees of the tourney. Since its birth it's provided baseball for over 3,000 boys and given the populace of southern California something to root for. So first I want you to meet the devoted pappies. Shake hands with Pat Ahern, Bob O'Neill, Frank Stewart, Frank Scholine, Phil Schaeffer and Harold Wells. By adoption, Milt Kohne became a pappy the year after the tournament was founded. This year the Ford Motor company withdrew its financial support of the tournament because of its independent nature. Coming to the aid and saving it from death was the Santa Ana Post 131 who kicked in 800 bucks to keep it going. Then the 21st District of the Legion stepped up and agreed to undetwrite any deficit that may occur. The brothers who joined this year and represent the 21st are Elmer Sullivan, Jules Day and George Boldin. It's quite a family. But there's more to it. Each night some 300 godfathers and mamas assist in the bringing up of "Junior Tournament." They keep the passing hats full. And while I think of it, I want to toss a bushel or two of white orchids to you, the godparents—the fans who make the classic event possible. Announce L.A.

Huntington Announce L.A. County Fair Race Schedule President-Manager Jack Afflerbaugh has announced that Herman Sharpe, well-known in racing circles throughout the state, will again serve as secretary for the runner’s division of the annual race meet held in conjunction with Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona Sept. 16 through Oct. 2. Harry R. Hatch will preside over the harness section. There will be seven running races each weekday with an eighth running race on each of the three Saturdays. The $5,000 added governor’s handicap is scheduled for the first Saturday, Sept. 17. The Los Angeles County Fair handicap for the $2,500 will be run the following Saturday, Sept. 24 and the Southern California Handicap for another $5,000 added will feature the final Saturday, Oct. 1. For the regular events purses range from $1,200 to $2,000. All indications, according to Sharpe, point to another successful meet. Last year the track ran up a season’s handle of $6,915,644 or a daily average of $493,974. Since last fall some $300,000 has been spent on improvements about the grounds and 17 new pari-mutuel booths have been added to the facilities in the grandstand. In addition to the running races there will be three harness races each weekday while the Sunday programs will be devoted entirely to the buggy horses. Teals are the smallest of ducks and are widely distributed over the world. Sal Flores, Anaheim middle-weight, returns to fistic action Friday evening after a three-month lay-off. He fights Boot Nelson in the four-round special at the Hollywood Legion stadium. It will mark his first fight since Bootin Ben Agajanian sold his contract to “One-Shot” Ross—ex-slugger and now a manager of fighters. Flores turned pro in January and after an initial setback went on five fight winning skein before being stopped by the veteran Willie Jenkins in a six-round semifinal. In a return match Flores eked out a draw and then hung up his gloves following his sale. The popular 21-year-old Anaheim boy has stirred up interest among Southland fistic circles and quickly gained the favor of the galleryites at Hollywood. His return is welcomed there and here.

Several years ago, in an "economy" move the division stopped issuing the plastic, transparent holder, in the interest of adding more fish and game wardens to the staff with the $50,000 saved on the holders. A recent legislative act requires three trout shipping tags be attached to all licenses and now H.R. Dunbar, chief of the division's licensing bureau is looking for a new holder, dull, non-reflective, and equipped with a double pin to eliminate loss, and secure the shipping tags. Gal Hosses Run For $10,000 At Del Mar Fillies and mares have their moment in the sun at Del Mar this week-end as the $10,000 added Coronado Handicap at six furlongs furnishes the big entertainment of Saturday's nine-race program. Among the members of the fairer sex who will have their weight up for the Coronado are such swift misses as Some Gal, Zenoda, Good Excuse, Unavoidable, Don't Quote Me, Top Sis, Candy Kane, Sea Spray, Evening Tune, Mrs. Rabbit and Belle Jolie. Several of the Coronado Handicap contenders already have been under silks at the meeting and have shown to good advantage. The Coronado will mark the only time at the meeting that the so-called weaker sex will have an opportunity to cut up a $10,000 pie among them, all the rest of Del Mar's numerous ten grand affairs being open to runners of both sexes. 20-30 Club Plan to Organize a Group In Garden Grove Plans for the organization of a 20-30 club in Garden Grove by the 20-30 International, are progressing rapidly.

Says Liquor Not Chief Juvenile Delinquency Cause Sacramento, (WNS) — Charges that liquor is not the chief cause of juvenile delinquency but runs a poor second to "sex, and damn poorly run homes" were made by William G. Bonelli, chairman of the state board of equalization. Bonelli made the statement at the board's monthly meeting on liquor violations. He said that juvenile delinquency comes "sometimes, occasionally, and belatedly from liquor." According to Bonelli, "papa's liquor cabinet is a more frequent supplier of juvenile throats than licensed liquor dealers. The criticism followed a protest against issuance of a package liquor license to a southern California grocery firm, which the board granted. The protest was lodged by an El Monte, California, Presbyterian minister. Criticizing the pastor and other persons, who list liquor as a chief cause of juvenile crimes, Bonelli said sociologists are more and more disassociating the idea that liquor and crime go together. Board member James Quinn then took a turn at rapping dealers who sell to minors. He said the board must adhere to a policy of "punching and punching harder at violators" who sell to persons under 21. As business gets worse, Quinn said, this type of violation becomes more frequent. EHLERS KEYS BICYCLES SAW FILING LAWNMOWERS Sales and Service Repairing and Welding 419 W.
