L.A. Browns Idea Waxes Hot Again By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES (P)—For more than 20 years, fans have been told that major league baseball was coming to Los Angeles, and in recent years the St. Louis Browns' franchise has been speculated on most often. The Browns' Bill DeWitt opened the subject a few days ago, announcing Los Angeles was one of six cities where the team might be moved—some day. Impartial observers still believe the day is coming, but they don't know when. Admittedly there are tremendous obstacles ahead, hinging primarily on baseball's sacrosanct territorial laws. Transportation is a big problem. And there is a mountainous financial gamble involved that has been variously estimated from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. If anyone in Los Angeles has made a recent offer to bring the Browns here, he's kept it a large secret. There is one gentleman standing offstage, however, who could well be the answer and the master promoter to engineer the entire deal, and there are some who say this man even now is plotting such a spectacular deal. That would be young, successful, imaginative 'Bill Veeck.

Anaheim trailed Laguna until the sixth inning, point with the score 8-5 against them, the locals pushed across five runs to lead the parade. Pat Roberts, stepping in as relief for pitcher Dick Ramella, started off the spree with a single. Jim Holve followed him aboard via the error route. Ron Bevins cracked a double which scored the two. Don Carter errored aboard as Bevins scored. Ken Kohine was issued a walk. Then Ron Story pounded a sharp single which scored Carter and Bevins. Ed Hererra whiffed to end the inning with Anaheim out in front by two. The visitors roared back in the top half of the seventh with three big runs garnered from two hits and a pair of Anaheim miscues. Two of the scoring runners made the first sack via walks. The victorious Lagunans started the match with a pair of runs in the first inning. In the second they capitalized on two hits, two hit batters, a wild pitch and a walk to hang five more on the scoreboard.

Major league scouts will be on hand, as in past years, to cast critical eyes on the array of youthful talent. Midway in the Tournament, the talent seekers will select a pair of all-star squads to stage a special exhibition game. The Tournament is set up as a sudden death affair. One defeat and a team starts packing its grip. Eventual Tournament champion will be required to notch six straight victories. First prize for the horsehide extravaganza will be a trip for all members of the victorious team. Destination this year is as yet undecided. Past years trips have included five days at San Francisco and five days at Las Vegas. Idea Made Actuality The idea of an invitational baseball tournament during the relatively recreationless month of August (American Legion junior squads, except those destined to divisional and regional championships, cease fire early in July) was made an actuality with the first contest in 1946. Pat Ahern, Long Beach, present Tournament directors' chairman, and a group of Legionnaires from the Fourth Area first came up with the plan. Anaheim's La Palma Park appealed most on a basis of excellence and was selected as the site for the yearly session. Hence the Tournament bears the city's name. Thirty-two teams participated in 1946. All were from the Fourth Legion Area. In 1947, Fifth Area squads were invited and a total of 46 saw action. 61 Teams 1948 saw 61 teams in the running. Many prospective entrants, including Arizona and Nevada delegations, had to be pared from the list to ease administrative chores. Sixty-four squads entered in 1949. It was then that the need for assured financial support was felt. A group of 21st district Legionnaires came forth, voted to insure financial success of the operation. Steps were taken to raise funds and to insure the project's success. Albacore Enfishing Scenes Albacore are on the wading to Dick Martin's wading survey. Port Orford designedly angling for fogged some catches. Al and other locals who mailed to San Clemente Island saw a dozen hauled about the day was done. However, those in the waiting for the warm begin in earnest before really serious albacore. Anaheim Ikes are the second Tuesday in their special charter but its weekly run with a principal target.

Catcher Mary Whitney provided the big push for the late frame talley when she bashed a towering triple with teammate Patty Averett already on the sacks. Averett got aboard via a walk. With Whitney lurking on third, Lu Mahoney, currently subbing in center field for injured Maxine Clark, slapped out a single to drive home the second and final run of the evening. The belated scoring splurge began with two Lynx down in the final frame. All in all, the green-clads picked a total of six hits from Portland pitcher Nelson; Lynx hurler Alsup gave only two to the Florists. Tonight's fray ends the Southlanders' five game series at Portland. Seven Yanks Vie in Third Wimbledon Lap WIMBLEDON, England (UK) — The polite introductions being over, the all-England lawn tennis championships enter the slugging stage today with the third round matches of the men's singles play. The seven American seeded players all are due for action along with top-seeded Frank Sedgman, the Australian pre-tournament favorite. Sedgman's stock has been drifting down steadily, however, since he turned up the first day with a strained wrist, and he faces trouble in the person of Belgium's Philippe Washer, who is one of the most improved European players of the season. Billy Talbert; the New Yorker who is rapidly making friends in influencing wagers on his chances of copping the cup, tangles with Sweden's vastly improved Torsten Johansson in one of the top matches of the day. Budge Patty, the expatriate from Los Angeles now living in Paris; Vie Seixas of Philadelphia, Gardnar Mulloy of Miami, Fla., and Art Larsen of San Leandro, Calif., all should have little difficulty in getting past their third-round foes. The women, having cleaned up their second round play, have a day off from singles competition, but will be busy in doubles and mixed doubles in this sun-baked 16-court layout. Mathias Goes For Third Title Tonight TULARE, Calif. (US)—Decathlon champion Bob Mathias goes after his third straight national title tonight and about 20 rivals will be on deck to oppose him in the two-night test of all-round track and field ability. The scene is Tulare's high school field, where 19-year-old Bob went to school and where a year ago he won his second national AAU crown after having conquered the world in the 1948 Olympic games at London. Of the 20 other entrants, only a sparse handful, probably three, figure to give Mathias a run for the title. Chief of these is colorful Bill Albans of the University of North Carolina, who placed third last year and left Tulare good humoredly vowing he'd be back this year, stronger than ever. Otey Scruggs of Santa Barbara College, Brayton Norton of Santa Ana Junior College, who'll compete for the Los Angeles Athletic club, and possibly Floyd Simmons of Charlotte, N.C., shape up as capable performers. Mathias' most recent effort netted 7,602 points, while Albans, Scruggs and Norton have exceeded 7000 this spring. Albans shines in the hurdles (he won the NCAA high hurdles) and broad jump, he's good in the high jump (6 feet 6½ inches), and drive home the second and final run of the evening. The belated scoring splurge began with two Lynx down in the final frame. All in all, the green-clads picked a total of six hits from Portland pitcher Nelson; Lynx hurler Alsup gave only two to the Florists. Tonight's fray ends the Southlanders' five game series at Portland. Buena Park 000 000 2-3 61 Portland 000 000 0-0 21 Alsup and Whittey; Nelson and Moore. Albacore Enter Fishing Scene Albacore are on the way, according to Dick Martin's weekly angling survey. Port Orange boats designedly angling for same have fogged some catches. And Martin and other locals who made the trip to San Clemente Island Tuesday saw a dozen hauled aboard before the day was done. However, those in the know are waiting for the warm weather to begin in earnest before doing any really serious albacore angling. Anaheim Ikes are looking to the second Tuesday in July when their special charter boats starts its weekly run with albacore as principal target. Reservations will be handled at L. N. "Pete" Wisser's Sporting Goods store in the absence of Martin who plans to spend the next three of four weeks trout fishing in Montana. Martin and his wife left yesterday for the mountain state.
