Yanks Upset Over Tigers By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Seriously disturbed by Detroit's solid strength, the New York Yankees remained hopeful today of making a major deal before the Thursday midnight deadline. The world champions, have more respect than ever for the Tigers after watching them bounce back from two Yankee stadium defeats to win the finale and then sweep three straight at Boston. Many of the Yanks now regard the Tigers instead of the Red Sox as "the team to beat." Boston lost plenty of prestige by dropping four in a row after rolling up that 29-4 record score on St. Louis last week. Pitching is the big Yankee problem. It's the same story in Boston. The difference is that New York owns excess talent that could help other clubs. In that category go second baseman George Stirnweiss, catcher Ralph Houk or Gus Miarmos, pitcher Don Johnson and an outfielder. The Yankee pitching situation is desperate. Johnson, sidelined by a skin ailment, remained in New York when the club headed west. That left Casey Stengel with seven pitchers, including Joe Page and Duane Pillette, the latter just recalled from Kansas City. Page, troubled by a sinus condition, has In that category go second baseman George Stirnweiss, catcher Ralph Houk or Gus Miarmos, pitcher Don Johnson and an outfielder. The Yankee pitching situation is desperate. Johnson, sidelined by a skin ailment, remained in New York when the club headed west. That left Casey Stengel with seven pitchers, including Joe Page and Duane Pillette, the latter just recalled from Kansas City. Page, troubled by a sinus condition, has pitched only one inning since June 3. A look at the June records emphasizes Detroit's sizzling pace. Although they still trail the Yanks by a half game in the won and lost columns, they're out front by .002 in percentage points. Since they left Briggs stadium, the Tigers have won 10 and lost two. It is well known that Detroit is a superior road team. Now they dig in at home for 16 games, starting with three against the Philadelphia A's. Big Ten Spikes Shun PCC Meet CHICAGO (UP) — Conference shot put champion Cliff Anderson of Indiana and four other athletes have withdrawn from the Big Ten lineup for its meet with the Pacific Coast conference at Madison, Wis., June 20. Other commitments, including jobs which await them at the close of school, will prevent appearance of the five competitors. In addition to Anderson, who won the Big Ten shot put with a toss of 53 feet 9 inches, are Michigan's Chuck Fonville, third in the shot put; Herman Waarich of Illinois, third in the quarter mile; Bob Hinkle of Illinois, fourth in the high hurdles; and Ohio State's Harry Cogswell, a mile relay nominee. Byrl Thompson of Minnesota and Wisconsin's Ted Bleckwenn were named to join Indiana's Jim Robertson as shot put replacements. Bob Hocker of Purdue was picked to replace Hinkle in the shuttle hurdle relay. Rose Bowlers Meet June 21 CHICAGO (UP) — Special committees of the Big Ten and Pacific Coast Conferences will meet at... Rose Bowlers Meet June 21 CHICAGO (AP) — Special committees of the Big Ten and Pacific Coast Conferences will meet at Madison, Wis., June 21, to discuss renewal of the Rose Bowl football pact. The five year contract expires with the playing of the 1951 New Year's Day game at Pasadena. Any conclusions reached by the committee must be approved by the two conferences at later meetings. Both conferences have had committees delving into the problems of the pact, such as ticket distribution and the clause 'which prohibits any one Big Ten team from making the trip more than once in three years. The Madison parley will be held the day after the annual dual track meet between the two conferences at the University of Wisconsin. Seven of the University of Arizona's 10 football games in 1950 will be played at night, including five home contests. "Now I don't know which it will be," says Hill. I think I'll just wait until we get to Minneapolis and ask Jim how he feels. Then we'll make our decision." The decision is of extreme interest to a couple of Dons, Gehrman of Wisconsin and McEwen of Michigan. The former is defending NCAA mile champion with a best mark of 4:10.2 this year. The latter is the big gun in the two-mile, having rambled 9:02, six-tenths of a second under the NCAA record set by Notre Dame's Greg Rice in 1939. Hill is a bit apologetic about his protege. "Jim still has a lot to learn about pace," the coach explained. "But once he gets more savvy on timing himself he's going to be hard to beat." If Jim runs the mile, the race will recall an NCAA four-lapper of 12 years ago when teammate Louis Zamperini, also a sophomore, matched strides with Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin, also a defending champion and heavy favorite. In that race, Zamperini upset his rival to set a record of 4:08.1 on the same Minneapolis track on which the NCAA will be run off next weekend. The problem of television continued to bob up in lobby conversation, but delegates said it had not yet been discussed in meetings. However, it began to appear that member schools are unlikely to present a united front against T-V. One school representative said it was evident that television has "arrived," and that it is advisable to work out some program satisfactory to the colleges, fans and industry. Another said television deserves its chance just as radio had its opportunity to prove its value. It was doubtful, however, that any decision would be reached before Wednesday's final session. Also hanging fire is PCC policy on its Rose Bowl pact with the Big Ten, which may never be disclosed at this meeting. It may be saved for the conference committee's confab June 21 with the Big Ten committee at Madison, Wis. The date and site of the discussions were confirmed yesterday. There are about 100 species of catfish found in American waters. ORTS Anaheim Gazette, Tuesday, June 13, 1950 Musial Widens NL Bat Lead NEW YORK — Stan Musial is pulling away again in the National League batting race. With about one third of the season in the records, the St. Louis Cards' first baseman holds a 37-point lead. Although Brooklyn's Jackie Robinson, the 1949 champ, replaced Pittsburgh's Johnny Hopp in second place during the week, Musial widened his lead. Stan is hitting .384, on averages including Sunday's games, and Robinson is batting .347.

Pitchers were stingy in the opener, Templer John Wright allowed his victims only three hits while Presbyterian hurled Fred Paulus yielded an even quartet. Two of the Presbyterian hits were big ones, however. Rod Cookus pounded out a triple in the first frame to score Jack Paulus and Kenny Mitchell upped and bashed a homer in the seventh. The Methodists, it turned out, iceed the game in the second as pitcher Wright singled buddy Dennis Ryan home for run number four. The winners' three-run opening blast featured singles by Bud Stahlman and Roger Harlow. The Calvary Baptist win was the club's first in two years. It took extra innings to do the trick. Red Marvin notched the eighth frame winning digit. He walked, went to second and third on pass balls and scored when shortstop Paul Jungkeit bobbled Elwin Burns' grounder. Marvin also contributed to a three-run first inning when he banged out a double to score a pair of mates. Marvin scored on a right field miscue. Bethel Baptist threatened all the way through, marking the score board in the second, fifth, sixth innings. They knotted the count in the sixth via two errors and a single by Al Hartmann. Church Leaguers Draw Bye Thursday Owing to the high school graduation ceremonies, church leaguers will not play bat Thursday night, City Recreation Director Don Derr said today Games originally scheduled for that evening were Presbyterian vs. St. Boniface, and Evangelical United Brethren vs. Grace Lutheran. As for the rest of the weekend's twin bill features Evan gelical United Brethren against Church of Christ and Whit Temple against Zion Lutheran. City League games tomorrow night are Ritz-Harry Horn and Hornets-JC. City League games Friday are JC-Harry Horn and Hornets Optimists. Segura Takes Pro Net Crown Softball Area Shapes at La Palma Park Softball players itching to do their stuff on the La Palma green-sward, and harrassed recreation officials looking for some means of easing the strain at heavily-used City Park came one step closer to their respective ideals yesterday as Vic Ruedy and his La Palma staff hoisted up a new backstop in the southeast corner of the big ball park. The new foul protector is 30 feet high. Yet to come are side wings ten feet wide and a net on top to take care of near-hits. Also on the ready-to-go list are a pair of 40 foot light standards which Ruedy procured recently. Now being painted, the poles will carry a set of four 1500 watt lights, Ruedy said. Plans are also made to skin the infield play area in the same fashion as the adjacent hardball diamond. Completion date of the project is not yet predictable, Ruedy said, but planners are shooting for as early an opening date as possible.

Segura Takes Pro Net Crown CLEVELAND (AP) — Francis Segura, a little fellow who won out and whipped the two best batsmen in the game, is the new national professional tennis champion. The five-foot-six,140-pound Pancho, who will be in second South American to win the pro m crown. He won it by defeating Frank Kovacs of Oakland, California last night in the finals of the National professional tennis tournament. Kovacs' six-foot-two,200-pound physique couldn't stand the pay set by the mighty mite from Ecuador, and the handsome California man suffered leg cramps and called it quits in the fourth set. At that time Segura led two sets to one and the games of the fourth set were tied 4-4. The finish was even more dramatic than in Segura's semi-final victory Sunday night when Jack Kramer,1948 pro rule wearily folded up in the fifth and deciding set against the tireless Pancho. "I'm very happy to be chained," Segura said, "But I don't want to win it this way." After about an hour's delay, Kovacs was able to return to the court and with Welby Van Hoof of Philadelphia defeated Segura and Frank Parker of Milwaukee in the doubles final-1-6,6-4,6-4. Parker played under protest because Bob Trenkamp, tournament manager, reduced the match trophy three-of-five sets to best two-of-three. The singles victory was worth $1500 to Segura, and the double paid each winner $750. When he accepted the trophy Segura told the crowd of 2,550 fans: "It makes a little fellow feel good to wear a big man down Guess I must be in shape—what you call 'the pink.'" Coaches Consider Laminated Bat SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — College baseball coaches, who will meet in Omaha when the NCAA play-offs start June 15, may discuss the possibility of adopting a laminated bat. Mike Welds of the University of Santa Clara, who serves as a press representative for the National Coaches Association, said the high cost of regular bats had caused the coaches to consider the innovation. A six-ply laminated bat was tried out this spring by Wisconsin coach Art Mansfield. He reported the bat appeared to have longer life and drives baseball farther. Sam Crawford, old time Detroit Tigers slugger, tested such a bat years ago but it was not universally adopted. Announcement CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP BUT ...

Browns Set Ball School At La Palma The St. Louis Browns will conduct a baseball school for local horsehide aspirants July 13, 14 and 15 at La Palma Park, it was learned today. Heading the three-day summer session will be Jim Crandall, ex-Pacific Coast and American Association catcher, now Southern California Scout for the Browns. The school will be open to boys of high school age and up who have some baseball experience to their credit. Balls and bats will be furnished by the school. Students furnish their own equipment and uniforms. Emphasis will be placed on fundamentals, Crandall told the Gazette this morning. In addition to routine drills, inter-squad games are in the offing. The La Palma appearance will function as a scouting maneuver as well as an instruction session, Crandall indicated, tabbing it as part and parcel of the major league club's program of keeping an eye on likely youngsters with baseball inclinations. Crandall has an impressive playing and coaching record. Prior to his scouting affiliation with the Browns, he managed a number of their farm teams, including Springfield in the III league, Aberdeen, South Dakota in the CHICAGO (UP)—The Boston Red Sox are proving emphatically that it takes more than power at the plate to top the American League. They have five regulars among the leading ten batters—but still are in third place, 5½ games out of first. Detroit's third sacker, George Kell, who shaded Ted Williams for the 1949 batting crown, has wormed into the lead with .381. He is only two points ahead of Boston's Walt Dropo who has .379. Cleveland's Larry Doby, last week's leader, skidded 33 points to a fourth place .362. Tommy Byrne of New York still had the best pitching record with 7-1 for .875.
