Buena Park Lynx Win First Tilt; Advance in Regional Tournament With Joan Alsup twirling a one-hitter, Buena Park Lynx advanced in the Regional softball tournament at Fullerton last night by shutting out J. C. Penney of El Cajon 5-0. In the opening game of the tourney, Crown Carpet of San Diego eliminated Brea’s Chiksan Tool 2-1. The Lynx quickly put the game away by scoring four runs in the opening inning. Robbie Mulkey walked and stole second and Ruby Moore was safe on an error by the shortstop. Beverly Meissen followed with a single to score both of them. Then Alsup reached first on another shortstop error and Meissen came in to score when a balk was called on the El Cajon pitcher. Ann Babashoff completed the inning’s scoring when she singled to bring in Alsup. Chiksan Tool was limited to two hits in the opener, but it scored its only run on one of them when Spud Berkoti poed a homer in the fourth inning. By winning last night the Lynx will play again on Friday, meeting the Arizona girls in the first game. Two more games are slated for tonight with the opener pitching the Coolidge Boosters from Arizona against Norwood Village Murket of Monteey Park in the men’s game, and in the high cap the Orange Lionettes will play the Sepulveda Pirates in the girl’s bracket. The ultimate winners in the double elimination tournament will represent this region in the national tourney next month in Texas. The men will play in Austin on September 11-17, while the girls’ tourney will be in San Antonio September 18-24. Five girls’ teams are entered in the Fullerton tournament and there are four more teams.

Another error in the first had led a Bellflower batter to the bases on an ordinary hit, but after spotting the three runs in the first, the Rainbows came back to tie it up. Fitzpatrick was the big star for the Rainbows. In fourth he lashed out a sinvent to second on a walk, scored on George Dena's run. Then in the fifth, after Harker had singled, Fitzpatrick slammed a home run to ent for the other Anaheim.

Wiethorn started it with a single to right Steinborn, Masterson, Moody, Harker and Bishop followed with hits and before the side could be retired Roy Merk’s crew was in the ball game. Jones pitched the last two innings, giving up but one hit—that a single to left by Roberts.

Stengel’s Hunches Push Yankees Back in First; Konstanty Wins as Phils Gain Game on Brooklyn Home Run Plays Decisive Role in Coast Contests By The Associated Press There’s just no heating the home run as a lethal weapon. The Pacific Coast League bore that out last night as: 1. Harry Simpson clouted his 28th and 29th homers—the latter with the bases loaded—to pace San Diego to a twin win over Portland, 5-2 and 8-2. 2. Neill Sheridan slammed a three-run homer to give San Francisco a 7-6 verdict over Oakland, cutting the Acorn’s league lead to four games over spurting San Diego. 3. Seattle’s George Vico clouted one with one on to edge Sacramento, 2-1. LA Wins Legit The only game not decided by a circuit clout was Los Angeles’ 3-0 conquest over Hollywood. Harry the Satchel put on another one of his typical Simpson shows. He tripled and singled in the first game, then pooled a double and two homers in the finale. Altogether he drove in six runs and scored four. His home run total is now just one behind league-leading Joe Brovia of Portland. Jack Graham and Merrill Combs also homered for the Padres, who received a pair of four-hit pitching jobs from Roy Welmaker and Al Olsen. Olsen fanned nine in notching his 18th win. Oaks Surge Back If Casey Stengel fell into a city sewer he would probably come up owning an oil well. The puckish pilot of the New York Yankees, who incidentally owns several oil wells, is one of the canniest managers in the business. He also is a great guy for hunches. Hunches that clicked helped the Yankees sweep a doubleheader from Cleveland yesterday and boost them to the top in the seething American League race. Clutch Hitting The Yankees needed some clutch hitting by Johnny Mize, Phil Rizzuto and Tommy Henrich. The fine pitching of Tom Ferrick and Ed Lopat also played a large part in the 4-3 and 3-0 victories that gave them a one-game lead over the Detroit Tigers. But if Casey hadn’t followed his hunches those things might never have happened. Until an hour before play began, Stengel wasn’t sure whether he was going to play Mize at first base. Then Stengel recalled that Mize had hit a couple of homers off Bob Feller, who was due to pitch for Cleveland in the opener. All the former Giant slugger did was slam a pair of homers, one in each game. He also collected two singles and drew the walk in the eighth inning that eventually turned out to be the winning run. Second Hunch Hunch No. 2 came in the eighth inning of the first game. Eddie Ford, the little lefthander, was shaken up in a collision with Cleveland's Luke Easter. Stengel thought Ford was favoring his right side. He promptly re- Johnny Lipon, Gerry Priddy and Don Kolloway produced the runs. It marked the first time the Tigers had been out of first place since June 10. Phils Gain Boston’s Red Sox stormed into third place, a game and a half in front of Cleveland, by whipping the Chicago White Sox, 6-1. It was Boston’s 15th win in 16 starts. Veteran Joe Dobson turned in his 14th victory. Philadelphia’s pennant-hungry Phillies increased their lead in the National to six and a half games over Brooklyn. The Phils rallied for three runs in the ninth to come from behind and nip the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-8. Dick Whitman’s pinch double with the bases loaded and Jimmy Bloodworth’s scoring fly produced the three runs. Jim Konstanty, in his 59th relief appearance, was credited with his 13th victory. The Chicago Cubs downed the Dodgers, 6-5. Vern Bickford coasted to his 17th triumph as the Boston Braves pounded out a 9-4 win over Cincinnati. Sal Maglie pitched the New York Giants to a five-hit, 4-0 shut-out over Pittsburgh. It was his eighth straight and his 13th victory against three defeats. The St. Louis Browns shoved the Philadelphia Athletics into the American League cellar by taking both ends of their doubleheader, 2-1 and 7-6. Thirty-one different teams have represented cities in the baseball major leagues since 1876. shows. He tripled and singled in the first game, then pooled a double and two homers in the finale. Altogether he drove in six runs and scored four. His home run total is now just one behind league-leading Joe Brovia of Portland. Jack Graham and Merrill Combs also homered for the Padres, who received a pair of four-hit pitching jobs from Roy Welmaker and Al Olsen. Olsen fanned nine in notching his 18th win. Oaks Surge Back Sheridan's blow came as a pinchhitter in the ninth and gave the Seals a 7-4 cushion. It proved necessary as the Oaks surged back for two runs in their half. Brooks Holder also lost one for the Seals. Seattle reliever Denny Galehouse was the beneficiary of Vico's clout. It wiped out Sacramento's 1-0 lead and saddled hard-luck Bill Evans with his 18th defeat. (He's won 11.) Bob Munckief, with the aid of fancy fielding, handed Hollywood its third straight shutout on a diet of eight hits. The loss stretched the Stars' goose-egg string to 30 innings. By winning the Angels clinched the city title, having taken 15 of 23 games, with five to play. Frank Baumholtz got two for five to stay close to the .400 pace.

Eddie Ford, the little lefthander, was shaken up in a collision with Cleveland's Luke Easter. Stengel thought Ford was favoring his right side. He promptly replaced Ford with Tom Ferrick. The veteran reliever proceeded to stop the Indians cold the rest of the way as the Yankees broke a 3-3 tie in their half of the eighth. Hunch No. 3 came in the same bottom half of the eighth. Mize had walked. Stengel sent in Joe Collins as a pinch hitter. After Hank Bauer filed out, Collins stole second. That necessitated an intentional pass to set up a possible double play. Casey sent in Henrich as a pinch hitter, and he singled to score Collins with the winning run. Lopat Blanks 'Em Stengel didn't need to resort to hunches in the second game as Eddie Lopat throttled the tribe with six singles. It was Lopat's fifth straight over Cleveland this season. The Yank's one game margin was accomplished when Washington's Senators held the slumping Tigers to a split in their doubleheader. The Senators won the opener in 11 innings, 3-2, when Sam Dente singled off Fred Hutchinson to score Sam Mele.
