Fifth Area Pitchers Blank Fourth Area Stars, 3-0; 11 Teams Remain in Running in Legion Tournament Although Orange county only has one team remaining in the running for the championship of the fifth Anaheim Legion tourney, it showed that a team of its best players were equal to the occasion of tackling a Los Angeles county all-star team last night as the Fifth area whipped the Fourth area 3 to 0. For a long time it looked as though the Fifth area all-stars might turn the trick on just one hit, but they added two more in the eighth for another unnecessary run. Its pitchers, meanwhile, allowed only four singles to the Fourth area and they were never in trouble after the fifth inning. Jack Ramsey of Fullerton and Manuel Uribe of Corona were the offensive heroes of the game for the Fifth area, and they shared the spotlight with the five pitchers who toiled for the Fifth area. The Fourth area, heavily loaded with players from teams which have advanced to the third and fourth rounds, threatened in the third and fifth innings. Ed Palmquist, Crenshaw's pitcher who worked the first two innings, greeted Orange's Ted Herrera with the game's first hit, a single to right center, but he was thrown out when he attempted to stretch it to a double. Hank Curaza, the Santa Maria shortstop who has performed in every Anaheim tourney thus far, followed with another hit, but Herrera got through the rest of the inning unscathed. Jerry Mason, the second Fourth area pitcher, inaugurated Fullerton's Rudy Casillas with another hit in the fifth. He was sacrificed to second and moved to third when Hank Wilfong, Pasadena, beat out an infield hit. Mason was nicked off third, however, on an unsuccessful squeeze attempt, and Wilfong, who moved around to third on a passed ball, was cut down at the plate when he attempted to steal home. It was in the bottom of this same fifth inning that the Fifth area put over what proved to be the winning run. Outfielder Bob Boswell, Seal Beach, unwillingly started it when he was hit by one of Mason's left handed slants. He moved to second on a passed ball and then churned around to score the first run on Ramsey's blow to center. Ramsey went to second on the throw to the plate and scored on a long fly to corner and a balk. The final tally came in eighth on an infield hit by D Lane, Newport, and Urile mighty blow which rolled to wall in deep left for a tri-Mason, who was in during two-run outburst, was charged with the loss, Cassillas pick up the victory. Eleven teams still remain in the running in the tournament. Five—Santa Monica, South Angeles, American Latin, San Barbara, and El Monte — had already advanced to the fourth round, the last named by a balk.

Matter of fact, the whole thing looked so intriguing that an actual count was taken and at that time there were 22 hurlers—11 in each league—who had a good chance to hit the coveted mark. Those who (on July 1) looked like they might win 20 were Robin Roberts, Max Lanier, Preacher Roe, Curt Simmons, Johnny Sain, Vern Bickford, Larry Jansen, Warren Spahn, Dave Koslo, Cliff Chambers, and Bob Rush in the National League, and Bob Lemon, Tommy Byrne, Ted Gray, Ed Lopat, Vic Raschi, Art Houtteman, Joe Dobson, Bob Feller, Bob Hooper, Sid Hudson, and Ray Scarborough of the junior loop. Funny thing about looking them over in midseason, though. It's just impossible to look ahead to see some fair hurler hitting a late hot streak like Early Wynn, or on the other hand, hot first-half pitchers doing el foldo like Rush and Chambers. But even though these things can't be foreseen, they do happen, and hence it becomes necessary to take a new reckoning later in the season. The current count sets the potentials at 14—seven in each league. Given seven wins in those starts, that would mean that pitchers currently would have to have 13 victories. Those so blessed: National—Roberts (16-5), Roe (16-7), Simmons (15-7), Sain (16-9), Jansen (13-8), Bickford (14-9), and Spahn (16-12). American—Lemon (18-6), Wynn (14-5), Fred Hutchinson (13-6), Lopat (13-7), Raschi (14-8), Houtteman (16-9), and Dobson(13-8). Nearly all of these American leaguers must hit the 20 game mark to top last year's crop, which produced five — Lemon; Raschi; Mel Parnell; Ellis Kinder; and Alex Kellner. The National league has a chinch. It only had two last year. Now then, did I forget anyone?

Harlean Mayer and David Evans Padres Win Twice To Chop Oakland Lead to 5½ Games It still looks like an Oakland shoo-in for the Pacific Coast league pennant today, but those rampaging San Diego Padres are closing ground fast. While Oakland was splitting with San Francisco, the Padres won two more from the hapless Portland Beavers yesterday by scores of 5 to 4 and 1 to 0. San Diego now trails the Oaks by 5½ games. The shutout went to Al Olsen via a three hitter in the seven inning finale. It was his 17th triumph of the campain and it snapped the winning streak of Portland's Euis Marquez at 20 games. LATE HOMERS Garrison finishes were the order of the day at Los Angeles and Seattle. A 10th inning homer by Chuck Stevens gave Hollywood a 4 to 3 victory in their second game; Todd Davis lofted one over the fence in the bottom of the ninth to give the Rainiers a 4 to 3 conquest of Sacramento in their opener. Davis' round tripper was his second of the contest. He tagged it on the first pitch by reliever Ken Gables and with one aboard.

Stevens led off the 10th with his home after the Hollywoods had tied up the scheduled seven inning affair with an uncarned tally in the seventh. The Angels took the opener, 6 to 4, via catcher Ray Cash's three run homer in the sixth frame. MARQUEZ WINS At San Francisco, Al Gettel checked a five-hitter in behalf of Oakland in the second game and whipped the Seals, 5 to 1, while his mates' raked Al Lien and Con Dempsey for 11 blows. San Francisco won the opener, 11 to 9, on Brooks Holder's two run double in the seventh. That game was the first PCL pitching triumph for 24-year-old Teddy Savarese, up from the Yakima, Wash., farm. Marquez, labeled by Portland manager Bill Sweeney as "the best player in the league right now," demonstrated yesterday that he's certainly the fastest, anyway. The Puerto Rican centerfielder won a 75 yard race between games at San Diego. He finished six feet ahead of Orestes Minoso, Padre third baseman. Marquez already holds victories over Oakland's Artie Wilson and Jim Busby of Sacramento, and that's just about the elite of the PCL speed merchants. As usual, the clubs will travel Monday. Tuesday night's series openers find San Francisco at Hollywood, Los Angeles at Oakland, Seattle at Portland, San Diego at Sacramento.

Major League Castoffs Knock Over Top Teams By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer A trio of scorned southpaws were dancing on air today to the music made by the moans and groans of the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians. Fresh from upset victories over the pennant contenders, the trio—pitchers Stubby Overmire, Bill Wight and Billy Pierce—proved once again how embarrassing it can be to underestimate a castoff. Overmire, cast adrift by Detroit last winter, gained sweet revenge upon his former employers yesterday when he hung a 6-2 defeat on the league leaders to give the St. Louis Browns an even break in their doubleheader. The Tigers had come from behind to win the opener, 5-4. Wight and Pierce, traded off by the New York Yankees and Tigers, respectively, turned in sparkling performances in pitching the Chicago White Sox to 2-1 and 6-5 trumphs over the Indians. Yanks Gain Taking advantage of the Tiger and Indian lapses, the Yankees won two games from the hapless Philadelphia Athletics, 6-4 and 5-2, to climb into second place past the Indians. The Bronx bombers, who open a long home stay Tuesday with an important three-game series against the Tigers, thus chewed a full game off the Tigers' lead and moved another game in front of the tribe. The Tigers' margin over the Yanks is three games. Boston's idle Red Sox remain in fourth place, six games off the pace. A washout of their scheduled game with Washington haked temporarily their seven-game winning streak. Pittsburgh. Minner, the former Brooklyn Dodger lefthander, allowed eight hits for his seventh victory in the opener. He was helped by Andy Pafko's 29th homer. Hiller, an ex-Yankee, spaced seven hits for his ninth victory against two losses. Bill Serena drove in three runs for the winners. Ralph Kiner rapped his 37th homer for the Bucs. Win in Ninth The Tigers were forced to overcome a 4-1 deficit to beat the Browns in the opener. They won in the ninth when Aaron Robinson, former Yankee and White Socker, singled Vic Wertz home with two out. The 31-year-old Overmire, who was able to win but four games for Detroit in the last two years, gained his fifth victory for the Browns in the nightcap. He allowed nine hits and walked four but was strong in the clutch as the Tigers left 10 men stranded. The big bat of Joe DiMaggio and some slick pitching by lefties Eddie Lopat and Eddie Ford gave the Yankees their two victories over the A's. DiMaggio's three-run homer and two subsequent singles helped Lopat gain his 14th Foster in Finals At Willowick Tom Foster, the county titleholder, reached the finals of the Willowick men's club championship yesterday by beating Tom Rue, 4 and 3. Foster will meet the winner of the Jack Robinson-Dick Ewert match for the title. Other results included: third light—Louis Klem d. Walt Bell, up on the 19th hole; fourth light—Nick Opriam d. John Dickey, 1-up on the 19th; fifth light—Glen McCullough d. Henry Hall, 5 and 4; sixth flight—Ray Arguello d. Bill Obarr, 1-up on the 19th. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is experimenting with arrays to speed the ripening of apples. Boston's idle Red Sox remain in fourth place, six games off the pace. A washout of their scheduled game with Washington halted temporarily their seven-game winning streak. NL Washed Out Rain also cut the National League activity. With the four eastern teams yielding to weeping skies, the spotlight was thrust on the St. Louis Cardinals. The Redbirds rose to the occasion, coming from behind to nip the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2. Stan Musial drove in all St. Louis' runs with three singles. Howie Pollet gained the nod over Cincinnati's Ken Raffensberger. The victory moved the Cards into a third place tie with Boston. Paul Minner and Frank (Dutch) Hiller, another pair of discards, pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 4-2, 5-2 sweep of a doubleheader from The 31-year-old Overmire, who was able to win but four games for Detroit in the last two years, gained his fifth victory for the Browns in the nightcap.
