MackeyAwes Golf Greats ARDMORE, Pa. (P)—E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, 40-year-old touring professional from St. Andrews, Ill., took the second round lead in the National Open golf championship with a 36-hole 139 today as favorite Sam Snead blew his little chance. ARDMORE, Pa. (P)—Big time golf ever on the lookout for a new and magic name, gazed at boyish Lee Mackey, Jr., today and wondered. Could this grinning young man with the crew haircut and tremendous faculty for fine golf shots prove the electrifying stimulus the old pasture sport needs? "He'll read those headlines and blow sky high tomorrow," commented one leather-faced pro as the crowd gathered around the club house and jabbered excitedly about one of the most astonishing rounds in golf history. "Don't bet on it," countered somebody else. "That boy is as cool and relaxed as an old dish rag." True, Mackey, 26 year old bundle of icicles from Birmingham, Ala., seemed the least concerned about the blazing 64 that set old Merion on its ear yesterday in the first round of the national open golf tournament. It was the best round of golf ever played in the 50-year-old fixture and most of the wise men of the links agreed it probably was the best 18 holes ever shot by True, Mackey, 26 year old bundle of icicles from Birmingham, Ala., seemed the least concerned about the blazing 64 that set old Merion on its ear yesterday in the first round of the national open golf tournament. It was the best round of golf ever played in the 50-year-old fixture and most of the wise men of the links agreed it probably was the best 18 holes ever shot by anybody, anywhere, in major competition. Certainly the 33-31—64 over Merion's myriad sand traps, weedy roughs and lightening-fast greens—six under par for the 6694-yard layout—set folks to buzzing. Mackey, out of work and skimping on pocket change, came to town to outshoot, even if for just a day, the greatest shotmakers in the game. He went into today's second round with a three-stroke lead over his closest challenger, Al Brosch, bespectacled 38 year old barnstorming home pro of Garden City, N. Y., who had a 67. Harold Williams of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Henry Williams, Jr., of Secane, Pa., no kin were tied at 69, only other players in the field of 165 to beat Merion's rugged par. The favorites, while shaded, were not completely humiliated and remained in a position to take charge should any of the crop of unknowns falter. Defending champion Cary Middlecoff, who started 3-7, on the first two holes, finished with a fine 71. Ben Hogan, playing on scarred legs, rallied from a shaky start for a 72, a score shared by master champion Jimmy Demaret. Sam Snead, who said he couldn't putt a lick, was just back with a 73. LADY LINKSTERS MEET LOS ANGELES (AP)—Ann Pedroncelli, California country club, and Mrs. Jack Holmes, San Gabriel, meet today in the title finals on the Lakeside Invitational Golf tournament. Miss Pedroncelli upset Mrs. Wilson Atkins of the Host club yesterday, taking the 19th hole, 5 to 6. Mrs. Holmes scored a 3 and 2 victory over Mrs. Ed Schweitzer of Annandale. Duncan Gets Loop Honor Minard Duncan, Colonist third baseman, was named to the All-Sunset League squad last night by loop coaches. Three other locals, Joe Bruce, first baseman; Larry Weaver, outfielder and Ronnie Lemcke, second baseman, made second string on the mythical nine. Ed Herrera, catcher, was accorded honorable mention. Mentors met at the home of Anaheim coach John Wallin. A senior, Duncan posted a .427 batting average during the 1950 campaign. This ranks him in third place with the rest of the all-league first stringers. Topping Duncan were Tom Miller of Santa Ana with with .463 and Duane Dempsey Boy In Ring Go HOLLYWOOD (AP)—Argentine heavyweight Abel Cestac, with Jack Dempsey rooting him on from ringside, boxes Dusty Frank Burford of Oakland in the 10-round main event at Hollywood stadium tonight. The card inaugurates a new regime at the stadium. Former fight manager Cal Working is the new matchmaker and the management hopes to lure back some of the customers who have been absent in droves for the past two years. The 30-year-old Argentine, sent to this country several years ago by Dempsey's one-time opponent Luis Angel Firpo, is making his first appearance here. He is rated a good puncher and a willing mixer. Buford, a 200-pounder who will be outweighed about 30 pounds, made a hit her two weeks ago when he upset Willie Bean, young local prospect. Baseball Bulletin PITTSBURGH (AP)—The Brooklyn Dodgers walloped four homers today to whip Pittsburgh 9-7. The win sent the Dodgers a half game in front of the St. Louis Cardinals who play tonight. BOSTON (AP)—The St. Louis Browns turned on their tormentors today, dumping the Red Sox 12-7. Bob Doerr's seventh homer of the season was the 15th for Boston in four games, equalling a New York Yankee mark. Their seven runs gave them a total of 58 three games, exceeding the record by four. Miss Pedroncelli upset Mrs. Wilson Atkins of the Host club yesterday, taking the 19th hole, 5 to 6. Mrs. Holmes scored a 3 and 2 victory over Mrs. Ed Schweitzer of Armandale. Minard Duncan Pennington, Fulerton, .443. Fullerton, tied with Santa Ana for the Sunset crown, picked up five berths on the wonder squad. The Saints followed with three. Only repeater from last year's nine was Bucky Green, Fullerton pitcher. First baseman Bruce was a likely candidate for the first string group on a basis of his fielding. Wallin said today, but his .275 batting mark wasn't impressive enough for the Sunset moguls. Bucky Green of Fullerton and Jim Speigle, Santa Ana, made the first string pitcher grade. Green's Sunset record was five and one, His ERA was 1.17. Speigle won three and lost one in the Sunset campaign, posted an ERA of .94. Bert Haysom of the Saints led second string hurlers with a six and no, 1.43 record. Second was Jack Clark, Newport senior, who figured four and four and 1.8 ERA. Coaches casting votes last night included Wallin of Anaheim, Bud Dawson and Dick Spaulding of (Continued on Page 8) ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO. MOVING-STORAGE General Trucking —PHONE 2123— 505 S. Los Angeles St. Anaheim ORTS Anaheim Gazette, Friday, June 9, 1950 Mack to Get Offer for A's PHILADELPHIA (N) — A new landlord wants to take over the baseball house that Connie Mack built. James P. Clark, trucking executive and president of the Philadelphia Eagles, champions of the National Football League, said an offer will be made before the week is out. Clark said a syndicate headed by him—not the one which purchased the Eagles early in 1946 and lifted the grid club from a financial loser to a money-making organization—will try to buy the A’s. That means the American League franchise and its physical assets, including Shibe Park, says Clark. No purchase price has been mentioned. Clark said his group has approached Mack and the club organization. Asked about Mack’s position if the deal went through, Clark said: "To me, it appears that Mr. Mack is the most valuable asset the club has." The Philadelphia Baseball club is owned by several groups. Connie Mack and his three sons possess 58 per cent of the stock. Colonist Golfers Whip Teachers AUHS golfers handed faculty memberships a 4-2 lesson yesterday St. Boniface Score Church Bethel Baptist swamping Boniface put Evangelical U-Park last night as Church L Lee Mims flung the B-only two hits in the process Henning and Clare Flueggen bases. Al Hartmann, Mims and Hartmann each got a pair for the winners. Big bash of the game was Hamilton’s poke to right field in the third which scored a tie of runs. St. Boniface triumphed behind the no-hit pitching of Frank Patin. Patin was relieved in the last frame by Al Bushman who completed the game in similar fashion. The winners got five blows off of Chuck Neal. All were logged as singles. Left fielders on both sides had a hard night as they bobbled low flies that turned into circular smashes. The Brethren’s counter came via this route. George Winand smacked a low one to St. Boniface leftfield Mike Patin, in the third innings which should have been caught but wasn’t and hence went for the loser’s only run. In the sixth, Boniface short stop, Deamy Lepez, busted one deep left and scored when Stuart Schmidt gored the dropsy. Pifcher Patin took advantage of an error in right field and an overthrow at second base to go. Spike Stars Vie Tonight LOS ANGELES (P)—The track and field season here ends tonight when leading local athletes compete in a fund-raising meet sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of the AAU. Most attractive events on the program are the mile, 880 and 440 yard runs, and possibly the high hurdles. The mile drew entries from Bob McMillen, Occidental college, running for the Los Angeles Athletic Club; Jim Newcomb of the University of Southern California; John Twomey of the Illinois A.C., and Kaare Vefling of the San Francisco Olympic club. McMillen was clocked at 4 minutes 9.4 seconds running second to Sweden's Lennart Strand in the Compton relays last week. Occidental's Bill Parker is matched against Herb McKenley in the 440, while the 880 drew the names of John Barnes of Occidental, and Bob Fruitt of USC. Barnes upset the star, Mal Whitfield, in the half-mile at Compton. Proceeds of the meet will be used to send athletes to the national AAU meet late this month. Lynx Bow to Atkins Park The fast-moving Buena Park Lynx were slowed down a little last night as they bowed 2-1 to the Atkins Park Belles. It was a bitter one for the Lynx who had squashed the Belles by whopping scores on three previous occasions. The Lynx grabbed the lead in Mack is the most valuable asset the club has." Colonist Golfers Whip Teachers AUHS golfers handed faculty members a 4-2 lesson yesterday afternoon when they engaged the teachers at Willowick in the Annual Student-Faculty links match. Only ones upholding faculty reputation were Claude Booth, machine shop teacher, and Dick Glover, director of athletics. Booth talked opponent Don Schiller out of nine strokes on the first tee to win his match before he started. Schiller was only one-up at the end of the nine-hole session. Glover downed Ron Lemcke for the other faculty talley. In the rest of the match, Loren Herman beat Sam Keith, Dub Helsing beat Bill Cook, Ray Echols beat Dick Ryan and unkindest cut of all, Bob Marshall dumped golf coach Chet Shirk.

Lynx Bow to Atkins Park The fast-moving Buena Park Lynx were slowed down a little last night as they bowed 2-1 to the Atkins Park Belles. It was a bitter one for the Lynx who had squashed the Belles by whopping scores on three previous occasions. The Lynx grabbed the lead in the first frame when Robby Mulkey scored on Evelyn Bowen's pop-up. But the Belles bounced back for one in the second and one in the fourth to take the fray. Both runs were capitalizations on errors. Lynx catcher Mary Whitney almost saved the day in the third. She hashed a double and then tried to make home on Mulkey's single but the ball got there first. For the next three nights, starting tonight, the Lynx host the world champion Phoenix Ramblers at Buena Park. The Ramblers rank first in Western States play thus far. The Lynx are second. The Ramblers own two 1950 wins over their hosts. Game time is 8:30. Chandler Nixes Sunday Contest NEW YORK (UP)—Basball Commissioner A. B. Chandler today orders Fred Saigh, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, to cancel a proposed Sunday night game with Brooklyn because it "would not be in the best interest of baseball." Chandler said playing the game Sunday night would "cause us to forfeit the respect and good will of thousands of the religious people of the country." The game was a postponed contest. Under Saigh's plans the regularly scheduled July 16 game would be played in the afternoon with the postponed contest to be held at night. Boniface, Bethel Baptist Score Church League Wins Bethel Baptist swamped Zion Lutheran 11-1 and St.race put Evangelical United Brethren by 7-1 at City last night as Church League ball ended its third week. See Mims flung the Baptist win and allowed the losers two hits in the process. Those were collected by Gilang and Clare Fluegge.
