Hot-Rod Addicts on Way To Mid-West Competition FINAL TOUCH-UP—Marvin Webb (right), and wife, Margaret, give their “Lucky Mercury” a final check-over before leaving yesterday for Indianapolis to enter it in exhibition and race it on mid-western tracks. The Webbs are traveling with Dick Kraft, another local hot-rod addict who is entering his car in competition also. Hot-Rod Addicts on Way To Mid-West Competition A pair of Anaheim hot-rod addicts, Marvin Webb and Dick Kraft are on their way to Indianapolis this morning with high hopes of capturing some mid-western cash in exhibition halls and on dirt tracks. Biggest poke on the local lads agenda is at Indianapolis where $2,000 in cash prizes is awaiting some hotter than hot, hot-rod. Both Webb and Kraft are confident of taking top honors in either the street or track division. As Webb puts it, “the hot-rod fever has just hit the east—we’ve been suffering it for 15 years and figure to have a head start on them.” Webb tools a 1927 Model T—at least that’s what it was at birth but its poppa, Henry Ford would never know it now. Christened the “Lucky Mercury,” this purple and chrome job should hit 150 mph, according to Webb. Its power plant is a rebuilt Mercury engine from the shops of Chuck Potvin of Anaheim. With an engine displacement of 287 cubic inches it surpasses that of the big cars entered in the Indianapolis classic. Fuel used is menthyl alcohol. Neither of the two local boys is new at this popular southland hobby. Webb had his first “road” back in 1937. “It wasn’t much for speed, but it sure did make a lot of noise,” he said. The owner of the “Lucky Mercury” won top honors in the '49 Hot-Rod Show at Los Angeles with a former creation and sold it for $2000. He hopes to get $3500 for his latest. Webb is accompanied by his wife Dorothy who is general manager, treasurer and foreman in charge of keeping the chrome shining.

Two Colonists Win Trips To Long Beach CIF Finals Anaheim trackmen got two out of a possible three berths to the Long Beach CIF finals as Varsity broadjumper Larry Weaver and B dashman Larry Kirchman finished better than third in their events at the Compton spike semis last Saturday. Cee 100 man Bill Walker turned in a commendable sixth in the fleetser field at the Saturday session which left him just out of next Saturday's running. Weaver covered just about as much ground as he has all year in the antelope act at Compton. His 22' 2" effort was second best or the afternoon. Kirchman picked up a pair of thirds during his day's work and hence will represent the Colonists in the Bee 100 and 220 at Long Beach. Anaheim record keepers are presently engaged in hanging up new school marks in the Varsity and Bee 220, both set by Kirchman who turned the furlong in 22.3 at Inglewood a week ago Saturday. Weaver stands to win himself a trip to the state CIF finals at Sacramento if he continues his winning ways. Bee and Cee competition grinds to a halt at Long Beach Wilson this Saturday, but the Golden State finals are in store for topflight varsity spikesters. Colonists Stage Nightcap Friday Musial Keeps Blasting 'Em Out for Cards By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer If Stan Musial isn't the greatest hitter in baseball today, then his figures are mighty deceptive. At that, some of his slugging feats his season have been almost unbelievable. The Mighty Cardinal ace smacked a single, double and triple yesterday to lead St. Louis to an triumph over the Cincinnati Red Sox. He drove in a run and scored twice. His B. A. now stands at a whopping .467. Musial now has hit safely in all out two of the 19 games he's played. One hitless game can be discounted because he appeared only as a pinch hitter. In another hitless effort he was stopped by Pittsburgh's Cliff Chambers on the second day of the season.

The Reds came back steadily, leaving the potential yeting and winning runs on the cases in the ninth inning when Al Grazle retired Red Stallcup for the last out.
