Pitchers Join Ranks of Memorial Day Casualties By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Memorial Day, 1950, will long be remembered by 83 punch drunk pitchers who were pounded for 40 home runs and shelled for 191 runs yesterday as the hitters went on the biggest single day batting rampage in baseball history. An aggregate paid attendance of 284,326 who sat in on the doubleheader massacres at the eight big league ball parks saw the following records smashed: 1. Most home runs in both leagues on the same day—40. 2. Most runs scored in both leagues on the same day—191. 3. Most hits made in both leagues on the same day—333. 4. Most pitchers used in both leagues on the same day—83. 5. Most home runs hit in the National League in one day—24. When the smoke cleared away, it was found that the New York Yankees had whipped the Boston Red Sox twice, 11-7 and 5-3, to increase their American League lead to three games over the Detroit Tigers. Detroit divided a pair with Cleveland, winning the second game, 5-2, after the Indians had won the first, 4-0. Brooklyn replaced Philadelphia at the top in the National League, thrashing the Phils twice, 7-6 in 10 innings and 6-4. The St. Louis Cardinals also swept past the Phils, moving into second place a game behind Brooklyn by trouncing Pittsburgh twice, 17-13, 8-5. Chicago's White Sox pounded out a double victory over the St. Louis Browns, 14-2 and 12-9. Philadelphia's Athletics defeated Washington, 5-1, after the Senators had won the opener, 4-3. In the National, Boston beat New York, 7-3, in the opener, but the Giants came back to win the nightcap, 10-3. Cincinnati and Chicago also split. The Reds won the first, 4-1, and the Cubs took the second, 7-4. Pity the poor pitchers. When they weren't throwing home run balls or ducking line drives, they were handing out free tickets to first base. In all they walked 160 batters, and average of 10 per game. The White Sox and Browns set a new American League record when they used 12 pitchers in the second game of their doubleheader. The Browns used five and the Sox seven.

(AP)—Horse race bookmakers are not County Junior Golf Tourney Holiday Crowds Ring PCL Tills By The Associated Press Pacific Coast club owners, who have been moaning about what television has been doing to the gate, broke out their best dentrification ad smiles today. The Memorial Day double-headers drew the season's peak total attendance of 49,166. Proving, perhaps, that a bargain bill and warmer weather was all that was needed to loosen up the rusting turnstiles. The day's largest crowd—14,641 at Oakland—saw a fireworks display by San Diego's Orestes Minoso, who swatted three homers in the nightcap to give the Padres an even break with the Oaks and, incidentally, keep his club in first place. The Oaks won the first game, 11-2, behind Clyde Shoun. Old pro Billy Herman hit a homer. Hollywood moved to within a game of the top by smashing cellar-bound Sacramento twice, 5-4 and 6-0, before 9437 fans. Jean Pierre Roy pitched six scoreless relief innings to win the first game and Pinky Woods followed with a seven inning shutout. Rookie Bill Antonello hit a two-run homer to clinch the second one. The season's biggest crowd at Seattle—13,310—saw the oncoming Rainiers two-time Los Angeles, 3-2 and 9-5. Vern Kindsfather and Jim Wilson were the route-going winners, the latter racking up his seventh straight. Les Layton's muff of shortstop Bill Schuster's single to left let the Rainiers score the tying and winning runs in the ninth inning of the opener. A six-run sixth featuring doubles by Wilson and George Vico sewed up the second contest. Portland drew 11,778 customers in losing to San Francisco, 3-1, in 11 innings, and then going to a 4-4 tie in five innings. Bookies Don't Use AP, Survey Shows TALLAHASSEEE, Fla. (AP)—Horse race bookmakers are not obtaining their information from Associated Press dispatches, the Florida Utilities Commission says. The Commission, with the cooperation of the Associated Press, conducted an investigation in April which led the commission to the conclusion that the Associated Press dispatches are not the source of bookmakers' betting information. "The Associated Press, in the opinion of the commission is a legitimate news gathering agency and is not engaged in the dissemination of information for gambling purposes in violation of the laws of this state," it said. Campers Pay Fees In Forest Areas A small fee will be charged at six of the most heavily used campgrounds in national forests in California this year, as the U.S. Forest Service continues its fee experiment from 1949 in an effort to spread its limited funds for maintenance of 1100 forest campgrounds in the state. Picnickers will pay 25 cents a day and campers will pay 50 cents a day, for a party of six adults or less, at the following campgrounds: Eldorado County campground at Lake Tahoe, Eldorado National Forest. Big Bend campground at Big Bend ranger station, Tahoe National Forest. Hampshire Rocks campground on U.S. 40 near Big Bend ranger station. Pinecrest campground at Strawbery Lake, Stanislaus National Forest. Blue Jay campground near Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino National Forest. Crest Road campground, near Arrowhead ranger station, San Bernardino National Forest. M. M. Barnum, assistant regional forester in charge of recreation and land matters, said the Forest Service is issuing permits to concessionaires who will collect the fees and in return will operate County Junior Golf Tourney Starts June 19 As soon as school books close, the young golfers of the county can start thinking about pars instead of grades with the Third Annual Orange County Junior Golf Championships set in Santa Ana June 19. Slated for the Willowick course, play is open to any county youngster under 19 years old. Golfers will be classed in two flights—one for youngsters under 14 and the other for golfers from 14 to 18 years old. The future "Hogans" will qualify at Willowick June 19 and play one match each morning until finals on June 23.

In the second of a doubleheader game Lebanon got 12 hits but only 1 run to lose to Stroudsburg, Anglers Get Light Returns Holiday anglers who bulged the boats had a light time of it according to report made today by Dick Martin.

(P)—Citation can become the golden horse of all time this Saturday if 128 pounds isn't too big a load. That's the weight the Calumet Farm champion was assigned today for the $20,000 added Golden Gate mile at Golden Gate Fields. It's five pounds above that given second-weighted Bolero and Noor. First money Saturday approximately $15,000—would push "Big Cy's" lifetime winnings beyond that of any horse in racing history. Stymie holds the record of $918-485, just above Citation's total of $910,080. It'll be a tough field to beat carrying top weight. Abe Hirschman's Bolero set a new world record of 1:08 1/5 in winning the six furlong Pacific Handicap last Saturday. Noor is the horse which conquered Citation in the Santa Anita and San Juan Capistrano Handicaps. The complete list of weights assigned: Citation (A), 128; Bolero (B) and Noor, 123; Two Lea (A), 118; Fervent (A) and On Trust (C), 116; Manyunk (D) and Old Rockport (E), 113; Call Bell, 111; Esprit de France (F), 109; Drumbeat (D), 108; Imperium (F) and Stepfather (C), 106; Doctrine (B), 105; Boomerang Boy, Free soul, Highlander II and Mocopo (E), 100. Whitney Homers As Lynx Win 4-0 Mary Whitney, AUHS senior and catcher for the Buena Park Lynx, bashed out a roundtripper with teammate Carolyn Broady aboard last night as the Lynx blanked a visiting Detroit team 4-0 at Recreation Park in Buena Park. Last night's win marked the third straight for the Lynx over their eastern visitors. Tonight the two squads meet in a final exhibition match at Amridge Park, Fullerton. The Rural Electrification Administration financed enough power lines in 1949 to reach seven times around the earth.
