Church of Christ Whips Zion Lutheran Squad 7-3 Church of Christ softballers re-emphasized their determination to hold Church League first spot last night as they handed Zion Lutheran a 7-3 setback on the City Park diamond. In the other end of the double header, second place Grace Lutherans stood pat as they eked out a 7-5 win over Calvary Baptist. Bombers Notch 39-37 Overtime Over Capitols Schmitt's Bombers got their second win of the season last night but it took an overtime session to do it. Captain Bel Schmitt bore the after hours load as he scored five and dropped the telling one through the hoop with just five seconds left in the session to give the Bombers a 39-37 Victory over Denny's Capitols. Dennis Denny was high man for the night with 18. Welch's Warriors preserved their unblemished record in the second scheduled game on the AUHS courts as they beat Webber's Lakers 22-17. Augie Huesca and Tra Webber led Warriors and Lakers respectively with 7 points apiece. Goff's Royals forfeited the third encounter to Faulkner's Nuggets. Church of Christ started off the scoring in the second frame of last night's match when a single by Don Dickenson and a double by Ed Baker produced a one-run edge. Another came across the plate in the third on singles by Lloyd Lichtenwalter and Al Mills. The big inning was the sixth. A single by Carlin Coffman, two walks, and singles by Gerald Baker and Jerry Bruntz produced three counters. The final two registered in the seventh via an error, fielders choice and a double by Gerald Baker. Ed Baker hit hardest and mostest for Zion Lutheran. His three for three included a third inning home run. Church of Christ pitcher Lichtenwalter allowed the losers only three hits. The Grace Lutherans exploded in the fifth with five runs to notch their win last night. The blast featured a double by Jim Mack and singles by Del Martens, Art Altheide and Paul Altheide. Two errors furthered the cause. Paul's bingle was his third of the evening.

World Marks Fall In Japanese Swim By RUSSELL BRINES TOKYO (AP)—Three recognized world swimming records were bettered tonight as an American team took the edge over Japan in the first day of a dual meet. The marks were beaten in the 200-meter freestyle by Japan's Hironoshin Furuhashi, in the 1500-meter freestyle by Ford Konno, Hawaii's Japanese-American ace who splashed to a big surprise victory, and in the 300-meter medley relay by the U.S. team. Konno, a 17-year-old U.S. citizen of Japanese ancestry, won Ports Take Up Conquest of Faltering Oaks By JIM HUBBART Associated Press Sports Writer Portland's busy Beavers are only half, a notch out of the Pacific Coast League's first division today, and the Oakland Acorns are getting a sample of the David and Gollain routine. Last week the Beavers administered what appears to be a knockout blow to the Hollywood Stars by winning all but the first game in a series of nine. This week, Manager Bill Sweeney's slingshot crew is peppering away at first place Oakland in much the same fashion. Like Hollywood, Oakland won the opening game of the series. Last night, however, the Beavers chalked up their second triumph in a row, a 9 to 8 verdict. It took relief pitcher Bill Fleming to pip an Oakland rally in the ninth, however, just in time to move Portland into fifth place ahead of San Francisco. The Seals succumbed to Red Embree and the San Diego Padres, 4 to 0. Embree scattered six hits. It was the third straight Tiger Hour To Pitch. Give Detroit a feel and you can buy your stadium.

Seattle fell victim to the pitching wiles of old kewpie Dick Barrett and a new other Seattle grads how performing for Hollywood.

That put the Acorns only one run behind, but Fleming rose to the occasion and retired the next three in order.

Tiger Houtteman Returns To Pitch Yankees Down Give Detroit a few more invalids like Art Houtteman and you can buy your World Series tickets for Briggs stadium. Houtteman, forced to pass up his regular turn because of a strained side muscle, did a job on the challenging Yankees yesterday. When Art got through, New York was challenging for second place, not first. Detroit's lead measured 2½ times. When Tommy Byrne, usually a bigger killer, was beaten by Dizzy Bout Tuesday night, the Yankee drive was delayed. When Hal White shut out New York with two hits Wednesday, it was delay some more. Now, after Houtteman's comeback, the Yankee boom all but dead. Cleveland, moving into second place while Idle, the new threat. Four runs in the first inning kicked the game away for Detroit. Lopat, shooting for his 14th in, got only one man out. He gave up four runs on three hits, walk and his own error. Fine reef work by Fred Sanford and a missing-fair job by Joe Page were so late. The final score was Detroit 5, New York 2. Johnny Mize's 12th homer, allowing a walk to Hank Bauer, provided the only Yankee scores in the fourth inning. Houtteman bowed only six hits, struck out five and walked only two. The only other action in the American had little to do with the bennant pace as sixth-place Chicago shut out seventh-place Philadelphia, 1-0. Randy Gumpert, hitting his stride after a slow ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer Rambling around on the sporting front... The powerhouse Peps, undefeated, have already clinched at least a tie for first place in the City Summer cage loop. Every other quintet in the league has lost at least three games... Oakland, busily occupied at present in making its lead over second-place Hollywood all the more insurmountable, would have to pull the El Folo of the year not take take the Coast League bunting. True, the teams have about 70 of the 200 games on the schedule left to play; but the Oaks are pulling away every week. An eight-, or nine-, or worse-game-lead is plenty hard for even a spirited ball club to whittle down, and currently the cresfallen Stars, defending champs, just aren't playing the same brand of the diamond sport as Charley Dressen's cocky Oaks... We think the beginning of Hollywood's downfall can be traced back to the time the Dodger overseers transferred Bob Bundy (now with Ft. Worth) to St. Paul. Fred Haney has never found a suitable replacement for the capable Bundy, and a weakness at one important point is enough to start a nine on the downtrail... At the time of his transfer Bundy, who also played second base in the first weeks of the season, was Islanders Top AAU Swim Slate HIGH POINT, N. C., (AP)—A classy team from the Hawaiian swimming club of Honolulu was the team to beat here today as the women's national AAU swimming championships started. The island girls dispelled rumors yesterday that colds had hit some of their star swimmers. Nothing to it they said, and went on to prove their fitness by placing two girls among the eight qualifiers in the 1500 meter freestyle event. Another leading contender among the 25 teams is the town club of Chicago. Among the individual stars are Thelma Kalama and Evelyn Kawamoto of the Hawaiian club. Miss Kalama is defending her championship in the 100-meter free style event and Miss Kawamoto is defending her title in the 300-meter individual medley.
