Seal Beach Tops Legions Anaheim Legion juniors prolonged their losing streak one more time last night as they bowed to a visiting Seal Beach nine in a 5-2 contest at La Palma park. Pat Roberts pitched the whole game for the locals. Pat allowed the invaders a total of seven hits. Anaheim batters jumped on opposing pitcher Krede for six safeties. Hopetown hitters included Ronnie Kevins, Don Carter, Ken Coen, Gayle Herbel, Jim Holve and pitcher Roberts, each collecting singles. Seal Beach drew first blood in the contest, pushing across a pair of runs in the first half of the fourth inning. The Anaheimers bounced right back in their segment of the frame to drive across two and knot the count. Scorers were Carter and Holve. The Beach nine passed inning number five, then logged one in the fifth and one each in the eighth and ninth to salt the situation for the night. Saturday afternoon the Rudysmen take to the La Palma park diamond again when they host a Lakewood Village aggregation. Game time is 1:30. There is no admission charge. Score by innings: R H Seal Beach ... 000 201 011—5 7 Anaheim ... 000 200 000—2 6 Krede and Boswell: Roberts and Herrera. Yanks Sparkle On Finn Tracks Yanks Sparkle On Finn Tracks HELSINKI (AP)—America's touring track and field stars split up into four groups last night and gave a good account of themselves in as many meets in Finland. Dick Attsley, lanky Southern California hurdler, equalled his best time in Finland thus tar by winning the 110-meter high hurdles in 13.9 seconds in a meet at Jaemsae. He finished for in Front of Finland’s R. Turcsson who was second in 16.2. The Trojan ace also won the 200-meter dash in 21.7 seconds. Another winner there was Bob Pruitt, also Southern California. He won the 800-meter run in 1:54.6. Vaulter Bob Smith of San Diego State and sprinter Charley Peters of Indiana were the winners at Maenttae. $50,000 or $50 savings accounts earn 1½% interest at Bank of America Every Bank of America savings account, no matter how large, earns 1½% interest, compounded semi-annually.

AL Teams Figure In Player Shifts NEW YORK (NY)—Three American League baseball clubs—the Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox—figured in player shifts yesterday. The Red Sox sold pitcher Charlie Schanz to the Browns for the $10,000 waiver price and the Browns sent pitcher Lou Kretlow to the White Sox on the same terms. The Red Sox sent Al Papai to the St. Louis Cardinals on waivers.

Fit Charles Urges Comers By JACK HAND NEW YORK (AP)—What's next for Ezzard Charles? Lee Savold, Joe Louis or Freddie Beshore? Jake Mintz, Charles' manager, promises an answer in a week or so, now that Ezzy has been declared fit for ring action. Naturally a Louis fight would hit the jackpot. But Joe, an international Boxing club partner, still is retired. And he and Ez are old friends. Savold, recently crowned world champion in Britain when he stopped Bruce Woodcock, is under contract to the IBC. He may not be interested in Charles this year. Lee's manager, Bill Daly, is an important member of the managers guild, currently feuding with the IBC over a new television contract. Still a Savold-Charles bout for the undisputed heavyweight championship would have a definite appeal: Eddie Egan of the New York State Athletic commission and the NBA both would go along with that battle as a title fight. Ralph Gold, Beshore's manager, insists he will force Charles to go through with an often postponed Buffalo match before any other bout. Gold had a long talk with Jim Norris, IBC president, yesterday but reached no agreement. He says Beshore can be ready "in a few weeks." Buffalo matchmaker Charlie Pinto says the fight probably will be August 1. Charles is due to return to Cincinnati. Hubbard, Paul Keim, Charles Fletcher, Glenn Herbal, Manuel McLain, Bob Burgess, B.

He says he is willing to fight all comers—"Joe Louis, Lee Savold, anybody." BOSTON (A)—Cheered wildly by Boston Red Sox fans, Joe Capillo pushed a frozen fish with his nose along Commonwealth avenue yesterday—and then ate it. It was Joe's way of paying off a bet that the Red Sox would be in first place in the American League pennant race by July 4. They were in fourth place.

Red Sox Prune For Flag Dash BOSTON — Girding for another hard-driving pennant finish, the Boston Red Sox have jetisoned much of their pitching flotsam while calling back two promising youngsters who wilted in the spring training camp. The Sox flinging staff has given up 416 runs and 700 hits in 74 games, three shy of the American League's halfway mark. General Manager Joe Cronin reduced it to six strong-armed members before calling up Willard Nixon and Dick Littlefield from the Louisville and Birmingham arm clubs — strike-out kings of their leagues. Cronin's drastic pruning sent Charlie Schanz to the St. Louis Browns and Al Papai to the St. Louis Cardinals, both on waivers, and demoted Jim Suchecki and Lefty Earl Johnson to Louisville.
