Cinderella Man to Attempt English Channel Crossing By BUD WEEKS DENNISPORT, Mass. (AP)—A 44-year-old wounded war veteran who swam his way back to health may be the "Cinderella man" of the 1950 English Channel sweepstakes. George (Scotty) Fraser, a stocky Glasgow native, will sail tomorrow from New York with little money but lots of courage. Musial, Kell Near Tie in Baseball Poll CHICAGO (P)—Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals and George Kell of the Detroit Tigers seared a deadlock today as most popular player in a national vote of fans in the all star baseball poll. The poll, to select starters for the annual game, July 11, in Chicago's Comiskey Park, opened Monday and will continue until midnight July 1. Musial was 142 votes ahead of the Tiger third baseman in first returns but the eighth was trimmed to 65 today. Musial has a total of 2704 votes while Kell has 2639. Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn second baseman and the National League's most valuable player in 1949, is third with 2558 followed by Walter Dropo, Boston Red Sox. The rugged, little Scottish-American is lured by more than the prospect of fame and fortune. He wants to show disabled veterans the restorative powers of swimming. He owes his own rehabilitation in large part to rediscovery of a longtime hobby — swimming. He came to this Cape Cod town in 1946 to rest and recuperate from scars of war, both mental and physical. As a merchant marine officer he spent long harrowing months under enemy attack and suffered a severe leg wound when Nazi planes blasted his North Atlantic convoy in 1944. Swimming returned him to tip-top health. Now he works as an aircraft welder at Otis Air Force base. "I feel confident that I can make the channel," he said today, "If I get an even break in the weather. I'd like to help disabled fellows to overcome their disabilities through swimming and this will give me my chance to show what it can do for them." The ruddy Scot scales 148 pounds and stands five feet six inches tall. Married, he has two sons. Nightly three-mile practice spins since March have put him in good condition for the testing English Channel. Scotty is not going over just for the boat ride and he can point at a recent swimming exhibition to back up that statement. On June 8, he negotiated the treacherous tide and current of Seven Brethren Bobbles attributed to the rout. Zion Lutheran scored four in the third to post their 4-0 bounce White Temple. With two down, Walt Schmidt, Dick Riding, Miller and Herb Grimm ped one-baggers and Claire Hegge doubled one to account for the four-ply margin. The Templiers threatened in fourth when they saturated sacks, but subsequent pop-rendered them runless. Box score: Ev. Un.

MAURICE F. ENDERLE SPORTS Anaheim Gazette, Wednesday, June 14, 1950 C of C, Zion Lutheran Host Shutout Victories Church League winners last night did so in shutout victory as Church of Christ trampled Evangelical United Churches 13-0 and Zion Lutheran downed White Temple 4-0 in the City Park diamond. Lloyd Lichtenwalter hurled two-hit ball as Church of Christ swept the first game. Evangelical hitters were George and who singled in the second-inning and Jim Holve who led in the third. The fifth inning was the big one the winners as they piled up runs on singles by Dick CarDale Moist, Ev MacDonald,able by Al Mills and a boom-triple by pitcher Lichtenwalter. Steven Brethren bobbles contended to the rout. Lutheran scored four runs the third to post their 4-0 blank White Temple. With two men, Walt Schmidt, Dick Hen-Miller and Herb Grimm raped one-baggers and Claire Flu-doubled one to account for four-ply margin. The Templers threatened in the ninth when they saturated the field, but subsequent pop-outs fired them runless. Evers Walks In the Sun By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Walter (Hoot) Evers finally has gotten out of the shadow of Dick Wakefield. For nine long years the blond-haired, blue-eyed slugger had to play second fiddle to Wakefield, the $52,000 bonus baby. Ever since both were 20 years old when they joined the Tiger organization, Wakefield was the one in the spotlight, took all the bows and most of the money. It was just plug, plug, plug for the unheralded St. Louisian, whose score: 16 Represent Southland in NCAA Spikefest LOS ANGELES, (AP) —Every athlete rated a chance to score points—16 men in all—will represent the University of Southern California in defense of the NCAA track and field team championship this weekend at Minneapolis. Coach Jess Hill, gunning for his second title since he took over the reins from Dean Cromwell last year, named the squad today. Included are Dick Attlesey, whose 13.5 for the high hurdles this season is being pushed as an official new world record, and Jim Newcomb, the 21-year-old Indian lad from Portland, Ore., who most probably will confine his talents to the two-mile run. He jogged off a 4:07.7 in the mile last week but Hill thinks he'll hold him to the two-mile grind. Others named were Bob Pruitt, Bob Chambers and Wally Wilson in the 880; discus thrower Simness; hurdlers Al Barnard, Al Lawrence and Don Halderman; sprinters Al Mejia and John Bradley; broad jumper Henry Alhara; Dick Brombach and Jack Barnes. Optimist Square Opens Tomorrow Optimist-sponsored horse initiate their 1950 summer tomorrow night at La Palma as they play host to a clubing from Newport Beach. Time is 8 p.m. And it's free. Run in much the same mash as the American Legion or the Optimist diamond war continue for 16 weeks. The Optimist series wasceived and instigated by Amber Legion coach Vic Ruedy last Ruedy designed the program especially for baseball-men youths who get beyond the 16 Legion maximum. There was some activity year on a local scale. This Anaheim Optimists, along with the city recreation department will send their charges a teams from six neighboring On the list, in addition Anaheim are Newport, Santa Brea, Hawthorne, Pomona Whittier. There will be two round league play. At the close of four month stint, the top teams will play off for the pionship. As things are liming now, each squad will stage home games. Games will be played on days and Thursdays. For La Park, the intent is to put double-headers featuring an mist team and a Legion team the above-mentioned night. Second game scheduled for Anaheim is with Brea or 22 at La Palma Park. Lutheran scored four runs in the third to post their 4-0 blank White Temple. With two men, Walt Schmidt, Dick Henness Miller and Herb Grimm raped one-baggers and Claire Fluor doubled one to account for four-ply margin. The Templars threatened in the rain when they saturated the ground but subsequent pop-outs freed them runless. Walter (Hoot) Evers finally got out of the shadow of Dick Wakefield. For nine long years the blond-haired, blue-eyed slugger had to play second fiddle to Wakefield, the $52,000 bonus baby. Ever since both were 20 years old when they joined the Tiger organization, Wakefield was the one in the spotlight, took all the bows and most of the money. It was just plug, plug, plug for the unheralded St. Louisan, whose only claim to fame was that he was Wakefield's roomie and traveling companion. The pair started in Winston-Salem, N.C., in 1941. Evers batted only .231 to Wakefield's .300. The pair moved up to Beaumont, Tex., in .421. Evers raised his batting mark to .322 but once again he was overshadowed by Wakefield's .345. Evers spent the next three years in the service while Wakefield was establishing himself as a star with the Tigers. He returned in '46 and hit .266. But Wakefield still toped him with a .268 mark. Hoot then moved up to .296 in '47, .314 in '48 and .308 in '49. But he never got the recognition he deserved. This season, with Wakefield's shadow no longer hovering over him, Evers finally established himself as a top drawer star. Last night he hammered a 10th inning home run to give the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 triumph over the Philadelphia Athletics. It was his ninth of the campaign. He also walloped a triple and single to run his hitting streak through 18 consecutive games. He added 10 points to his batting average to place him at the top in both leagues with a .379 figure. Johnny Wyrostek of the Cincinnati Reds led the American Association in batting with a mark of .358 in 1944.

Game time is 8 p.m. And it's free. Run in much the same manner as the American Legion series, Optimist diamond wars will continue for 16 weeks. The Optimist series was convened and instigated by American Legion coach Vic Ruedy last year. Ruedy designed the program specially for baseball-minded youths who get beyond the 17 year age range maximum. There was some activity last year on a local scale. This year, Aheim Optimists, along with the city recreation department, send their charges against teams from six neighboring cities. In addition to Aheim are Newport, Santa Ana, Sea, Hawthorne, Pomona and Nittier. There will be two rounds of league play.

Second game scheduled for the Aheimers is with Brea on June at La Palma Park. Coast Conference Chiefs Levy Athletic Fines VICTORIA, B. C. (AP)—A trip for an athlete and failure to follow orders on abating an alumnus cost Oregon State college $2500 last night and earned it the Pacific Coast Conference fines championship. Washington, which headed the 1949 parade and set the all-time record of $5,550, tied for second with UCLA this year. They were fined $1800 each for violations of the conference code. Stanford must pay $1750, Southern California $1600, Idaho $1500, California $750, Montana $400 and Oregon and Washington State $200 each. Last year Idaho paid $4010 and Washington State ranked third with $3720. Oregon State was on the bottom in 1949, paying $120. Six schools were ordered to abate 11 alumni. The conference may issue such orders when an alumnus has been adjudged guilty of making "persistent, repeated or offensive efforts" to recruit athletes. When abated, the alumnus can make the school liable to fines if it persists in the recruiting. Oregon state and UCLA were told to abate three each. California had two on the abatement list and Idaho, USC and Stanford one each. Completion of the annual "police court" session overshadowed such items as Rose Bowl policy and the television question. The latter occupied conference athletic directors all day yesterday and they were still arguing late last night on what to do about television games. There was no official report on City Leaguers Toe Mark Tonight City League softballers toe the mark tonight as Ritz meets Harry Horn and the Hornets tangle with the Optimists. Then they trade around and go at it again Friday night with the JC's against Harry Horn and the Hornets against the Optimists.

ND BLOWS MARK STATE COLLEGE, Pa.,—Jim Hirdes, who already holds the Penn State records in the hurdles, narrowly missed a like distinction the sprints. His 9.5 second 100-dash against Navy was disallowed as a school record because of a six-mile wind at has back. Completion of the annual "police court" session overshadowed such items as Rose Bowl policy and the television question. The latter occupied conference athletic directors all day yesterday and they were still arguing late last night on what to do about television games. There was no official report on Rose Bowl policy but lobby talk among the delegates indicated the Coast Conference is ready to compromise with the Big Ten on selection of the annual representatives. The total charged member schools in fines this year—$12,500—is just over half last year's $21,105.
