IN THERE SWINGING—That’s where Colonist singlesman Louis Middleton will be tomorrow when he and his mates take on powerful Santa Monica for the Southern California high school tennis championship. Match begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Los Angeles Tennis Club. Colonists, Santa Monica Vie for Tennis Crown The Southern California high school tennis title is at stake tomorrow when coach Bill Cook's Anaheimers match rackets with a powerful Santa Monica squad at the Los Angeles Tennis Club. Starting time is 2:30 p.m. Winner of tomorrow’s tussle meets a Bay Area brigade for the State championship. Phils Amaze NL Followers By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer If anybody had predicted a couple of months ago that the Philadelphia Phils would come into Brooklyn on Memorial Day as the National League leaders he’d probably have been regarded as nothing more than a dyed-in-the wool Philly fanatic. But here it is May 30 and those fightin’ Phil are sitting on the roof of the standings, enjoying a half game margin on the defending champion Brooklyn Dodgers. The amazing part of the Phillies’ tremendous showing is that they’ve done it with a minimum of help from Russ Meyer and Ken Heintzelman, the two pitching mainstays of 1949’s third place outfit. Last year Meyer and Heintzelman won 17 games each. With six weeks of the ‘50 season gone, the pair have won only one game between them. They’ve dropped seven. Who then among the pitchers are responsible for the Phil’s success? Just a pair of 23-year-old bonus kids — Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons. Each has won six games while losing only two. Roberts won 12 games all last season while Simmons won only four. A year ago today, the Phils were in sixth place with only 17 triumphs against 19 losses. In Santa Monica, the Colonists have a big hunk to chew. Perenially powerful, the beach boys take up the Southland net championship tussle for the third time in three straight years tomorrow. In that period they’ve only bowed once to anybody, anywhere. That was last year when they took a beating up north in a State crown tilt. Head Vikings Allan Cleveland and Joe Read head the Viking gang. These boys currently hold the national junior doubles championship. However, indications are that they will take to the courts tomorrow as singles men, each having gained honors as such in the recently-concluded Orange Tourney. Only foe common to tomorrow’s participants is Beverly Hills. Santa Monica downed the movie towners 5-4 while the Colonists lost to them on two occasions, 4-5 and 2-5. The Cookmen enter tomorrow’s fray with a clean league slate and CIF wins over South Pasadena, Ventura and Montebello. Except for 6-3 and 8-1 wins over Santa Ana and Orange, the Colonists have scored perfect aces over their Sunset League opponents. Conceded Crown Conceded the crown at the close of first round play, the locals still have matches with Huntington Beach, Fullerton and Orange on the docket. Anaheimers on the traveling list tomorrow include singlesmen Craig Bottger, Dub Helsing, Louis Middleton and Jack Hersch; and doublesmen Bob Marshall, Jim Webb, Don Sousa and Jim Wright.

GOODWIN KNIGHT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JUNE 6th PRIMARIES ENDORSED BY AGRICULTURE, LABOR, BUSINESS, WOMEN'S AND VETERANS' ORGANIZATIONS The RIGHT man is KNIGHT! SPORTS Page 4 Anaheim Gazette, Tuesday, May 30, 1950 Robinson Gains in NL Bat Race NEW YORK (IP)—Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn is rallying to the defense of the National League batting title he held last year, but the fleet Dodger ace has quite a bit to go to catch St. Louis' Stan Musial. Averages including Sunday's games showed Robinson with a .369 average, an increase of .36 points during the week. It gave Jackie third place behind Musial and Johnny Hopp of Pittsburgh, who took over the runner-up spot with a .371 mark. Musial is 71 points ahead of Hopp with a .442 mark. The Cards' one-man gang has slashed out 58 hits in 120 at bats. Joe Garagiola, also of St. Louis, slipped 20 points to fourth-place at .357. Hank Edwards of Chicago, a newcomer to the top 10, held down fifth place with .352. Then came Andy Pafko of Chicago, .340; Dick Sisler of Philadelphia, .336; Duke Snider of Brooklyn, .328; Danny Murtaugh of Pittsburgh, 310 and Sam Jethroe of Boston, .308. Church of Christ Edges Presbyterian in 6-5 Mix Capitalizing on shortstop Jack Paulus' bobble in the ninth frame, the Church of Christ softballers pushed one run across the platter to edge the Presbyterians 6-5 last night at the City Park. Each of the teams now enjoys a 1-1 record. Church of Christ lost to Grace Lutheran 0-4 last Monday while the Presbyterians bounced Calvary Baptist 17-4. St. Michael's failed to show in the evening's first scheduled game, so Zion Lutheran picked up one by default. Lloyd Lichtenwalter hurled the Church of Christ to victory last night. He allowed six hits and only one lonely little walk during his nine inning stint. Nine Hits Losing pitcher was Fred Paulus whom the Church of Christ got to nine times. Paulus issued five free ones during the evening. The Presbyterians started out boldly in the first inning notching three runs as Jack Paulus, Ken Mitchell and Bill Ross all blasted out triples. Then they curled up and died until the sixth when they bounced two more across the plate. Meanwhile, Church of Christ collected one in the first, three in the third and one in the fourth to help send the game into extra innings. Except for the sixth inning, Doby Leads AL Swat Artists CHICAGO (IP)—Leading batters of the American League took nose-dives last week, leaving outfielder Larry Doby of Cleveland still in the van with a heavy .402 despite a skid of 13 points. Runner-up Paul Lehner of Philadelphia maintained second place although falling 26 points to .385. Sam Mele of Washington was third, in averages computed through Sunday's games, with .372, a drop of 17. Doby powered nine hits in 25 trips during the week while Lehner collected eight in 27. Boston Red Sox kept up their monopoly of power. In addition to holding five of the first 10 batting sports, they also were tops in four specialities. Dom DiMaggio Bangtails Boost Fish, Game Pot SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The California wild life conservation board earmarked this month an additional $402,000 for fish and game conservation work, the state division of fish and game reported today. The appropriation brought to $8,635,201 the total the board has appropriated since 1947 from its $9,000,000 share of state proceeds from horse racing. The board voted to withhold from appropriation the balance of $364,000, except for administrative expenses, until a survey of potential projects in the Colorado river area is completed. Among the projects approved at the May meeting of the board were: Land acquisition for the lower San Joaquin waterfowl management area, Merced county—$187,-000, added to previous appropriations. Improvements to the Ramer lake public fishing area, Imperial county—$50,000. Construction of 200 shooting blinds at the Grizzly Island waterfowl management area, Solano county, $18,000. Stream improvements and flow maintenance program in Mendocino National Forest of Tehama, Glenn and Colusa counties—$25,-000. Development of a public fishing area on San Antonio creek, Santa Barbara county—$20,000. Relocation and construction of a hatchery building at the Mount Shasta fish hatchery in Siskiyou county—$70,000. Construction of the Delta fish and game operational base in Contra Costa county—$27,000. Because the water in Willow Creek in Lassen county had been declared unsuitable for fish culture, the board and the joint legislative fish and game committee transferred a sum of $120,000 from the Willow Creek experimental hatchery to the Darrah Springs hatchery in Tehama county. The Presbyterians started out boldly in the first inning notching three runs as Jack Paulus, Ken Mitchell and Bill Ross all blasted out triples. Then they curled up and died until the sixth when they bounced two more across the plate. Meanwhile, Church of Christ collected one in the first, three in the third and one in the fourth to help send the game into extra innings. Except for the sixth inning, when the Presbyterians scored three, Church of Christ did most of the threatening. The threats finally paid off in the ninth when catcher Ev MacDonald smacked a hot one to short with two down and the sacks saturated. Jack Paulus bobbled momentarily, then shoveled the ball past third sacker Ken Mitchell. Bob Pickard, poised on third, dashed home and that was all she wrote. Threaten in 8th Except for some super-special collusion between Presbyterians' Mitchell at the hot corner and Steve Holden at home plate, Church of Christ might have ended the game an inning earlier. MacDonald started off with a single. Pitcher Lichtenwalter laid down a beautiful bunt which sent big Mac to second. Ken Meadow placed another bunt to become the third man on the bags and set the scene for a scoring spree. Then the Presbyterians tightened up. Carlin Coffman grounded to third and Mitchell threw MacDonald out at home. Al Mills grounded to third and Mitchell threw Lichtenwalter out at home. Don Schilling bashed one into right fielder Bob Hall's waiting glove and that finished things off for the time being. Meadow won the batsman's badge for the evening with a healthy four for five performance. Box score.

Belmont Fans Tab Hill Prince NEW YORK, May 20—Hill Prince, who revels in the mud was favored to show his heels to a fast field of veterans today and become the first sophomore in 24 years to win the $50,000 suburban handicap. Casey Hayes, trainer of C. T. Chenery's Preakness winner, did an abrupt about-face and entered the colt yesterday after an all-day rain drenched the Belmont Park track.
