Crenshaw, riding along on the strong right arm of pitcher Ed Palmquist, demonstrated last night that there need be no doubt to its claim of superiority in the South land as it won the final game of the Anaheim Legion tournament from Lumbermen's, 5-1. Crenshaw earlier had won the Southern California title in regular Legion play, only to lose the state championship to Oakland. Last night it was simply a case of ability against determination. Not that both teams didn't have plenty of each, but merely that Crenshaw showed its mettle when forced to play under the strain—but wildness on the part of Lumbermen's hurler Bob Valenzuela led directly to three of the runs. The other two came around on the bat of third baseman Billy Consolo who smashed out the tourney's only home run—a mam-month clout, covering some 370 feet to the wall in left center field at La Palma park. What was expected to be a pitcher's duel would have been except for Valenzuela's wildness. He walked 13 and hit two other batters and not until the ninth inning was he able to go through the inning without passing at least one batter. Free Run Crenshaw cashed in on his generosity at the start. Ronald Ex walked and Consolo was hit by a pitch. Palmquist walked to load the bases. Then, with two men out, Ex stole home with the run that put Crenshaw ahead to stay. Consolo's tremendous drive with George Anderson on base added two more in the fifth, but two Crenshaw insurance runs came in in the sixth without the benefit of a hit. With two men out and Ex on first by virtue of a walk, Valenzuela walked Consolo, Palmquist, and Bob Morris to force in a run. Then Consolo made the second Crenshaw theft of home a successful one. Conti Triples Shortstop Joe Conti accounted for the lone Lumbermen's tally. He led off the fifth by tapping touchable. He fanned 15 the nine-inning contest. Quist, too, hung up 15 str during the evening, relying cipally on his fast ball. Good Control Palmquist, showing pin control was seldom in an of danger. Only in the eighth Say Gayton and John Schrapped out singles was the real threat of a score. On other men ever reached John Amador making it error in the ninth, and Campagna drawing Palm quine walk in the second. As spoils for their victors members of the Crenshaw will be given a four-day ED PALMQUIST 15 K's to victory with the championship hanging in the balance. Early Lead As has been its custom in the past, Crenshaw bounced to a first-inning lead and hung on tenaciously. It collected only four hits—just one more than its opponent. Conti Triples Shortstop Joe Conti accounted for the lone Lumbermen's tally. He led off the fifth by tapping one of Palmquist's fast ones to deep left center for a triple and then he scored when Palmquist uncorked a wild one to the screen back of the plate. When Valenzuela could get his stuff over he was well nigh un- Oakland Holds Edge as Four Teams Sweep Sunday PCL Doubleheaders By the Associated Press The Pacific Coast league seldom does things by halves. There was nary a split yesterday as Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle swept doubleheaders. League-leading Oakland retained it 5½ game margin over San Diego, thanks largely to Bobby Hoffman, who clouted a homer in each game, the second breaking a 3-3 tie to give the Acorns a 4-3 nightcap decision over Los Angeles. The Oaks took the opening 8-4, as George Metkovich and Frank Baumholtz also homered. Baumholtz, the high-flying angel bidding for a 400 batting mark, got six hits in seven trips, including two doubles and the homer. San Diego got a three-hit 2-0 shutout from George Zuverink in the seven-inning affair, then walloped Sacramento, 6-1, behind Hal Saltzman's five-hitter. Jack Graham and Orestes Minoso poked telling circuit clouts for the winners. San Francisco two-timed Hollywood, 8-4 and 2-0, on slick southpawing by Ted Savarese and Al Lien. The former a rookie who looks something like old Tony Freitas, ex-Sacramento ace, took his second straight since coming up from Tacoma. This was a 5½ inning relief stint in the opener, in which he pitched scoreless, three-hit ball. Lien pitched four-hit ball in the short finale. Brooks Holder's double and triple were vital in the win. Homers by Dario Lodi-giani and Dino Restelli sparked the Seals' 15-hit attack in the first game. Hector Brown and Jim Davis were Seattle's winners against Portland, 6-4 and 9-0. Davis posted a five-hit whitewash over the short route.

BEYERLINES Ernie Beyer Through no effort of Anaheim's, Orange county will be represented on the UCLA football squad by six men this season. Anaheim—which, it is now understood, will draw a similar fate at SC—draws a blank in the matter of representation. Actually, Fullerton and Santa Ana make up all of the representation, the former placing two and the latter four on this 1950 version of the Bruins. Alphabetically,the half-dozen are Bill Duffy,Crayton Mast, Donn Moomaw,Frank Munoz,Gayle Pace,and Bob Zelinka. Three of these are newcomers to the Bruins, coming out of one of the junior colleges, while the other two have some sort or another of Uclan football experience. The neophytes are Mast and Ka. Mast's case is a bit different from that of the others. He played at Fullerton in 1947 and 1948. Then, just as practice opened last year, he fractured his arm and was forced to sit out the entire season. Right now he ranks as the No. 3 Bruin right guard. He captained Fullerton in 1948. Munoz, another "newcomer,"has been at UCLA since 1947. When he graduated from Fullerton jaysee in 1947 he was selected as the Southern California jaysee player of the year. He then played baseball at Westwood, in 1948,but since that time scholastic woes have kept him from playing anything. A speedy halftack,the Bruins are still in doubt about the availability of his services this year. Zelinka, who made the thirdstring all-jaysee team at Santa Ana last year, is considered right now as too light to perform at his best in the Bruin single wing,He weighs 182. Duffy, after earning a letter in 1948,played only 19 minutes last year. He is being switched from the wing- to the tail-back position this year. He was all-CIF at Santa Ana high school in 1944,attended Santa Ana jaysee, but did not play football there. Pace and Moomaw are both centers. Pace is expected to be the top pivotter this year with the graduation of Leon McLaughlin.Pace graduated from Santa Ana high school in 1946 after being picked on the all-Sunset league team. Moomaw,who was an all-CIFer in 1948 in both football and basketball at Santa-Ana high school,has been shifted from end by Coach Red Sanders to take up the slack left by McLaughlin. Aussies, Armed with Davis Cup, Now Try for US National Title FOREST HILLS, N.Y., (IP) The United States had held the Davis Cup since 1939, but the Australians, unimpressed with power as is the case of most youth,won it back over the weekend. And today,the Aussies began their quest for a double—the American national championship, which has been in this country since 1936. That year,Fred Perry of England beat Don Budge in the final for his third title in four years. The Australians could do it,too. They have a better chance of winning the singles than they had of taking the Cup,which they grabbed in three straight matches. Yesterday's final two singles were anti-climactic.

Overcoming enemy leads—something that was a lost art to the Red Sox earlier this year—plus a two-week stay at friendly Fenway Park have combined to rekindle the pennant spark in the hearts of loyal Boston rooters. Currently the hottest club in baseball, the Red Sox have been catching up with the league leaders at a furious pace. Twelve victories in the last 13 games have helped Boston cut a once seemingly insurmountable eight-game deficit in half. The Red Sox picked up a half-game on the league leaders yesterday when they overcame a 7-0 Cleveland lead to defeat the Indians, 11-9, while the Philadelphia Athletics were holding the Tigers even in two games. The A's won the opener, 4-3, and Detroit won the second 8-1. Yanks Get Second The Sox' triumph helped the New York Yankees gain undisputed possession of second place.

They came storming back with five runs in their own half of the third to blast Bob Feller off the hill and six more in the seventh. Chapman Homers Tommy Heinrich hit a pinch single with one out and the bases loaded in the 10th inning to win for the Yankees. Allie Reynolds yielded two hits for the Victors to register his 12th victory. Bob Cain was the loser.

The Lynx unlimbered their batting prowess to plow the hosts under 8-1 on Saturday night, but they lost a pitching duel to the team last night by a 1-0 count. Each game was highlighted by a home run, Robbie Mulkey hitting one for an unneeded run in the ninth inning of the first game, and Fresno manager Kay Rich belting one for a much needed run in the fourth inning of Sunday's game.
