No-Hitter, Lionette Victory Top Regional Tourney Action Milt Tucker turned in the best pitching job of the Regional Softball tournament thus far when he twirled Norwood Village market to a 6-1 no-hit victory over the Arizona Coolidge Boosters at Fullerton. In the second game the Orange Lionettes advanced successfully when they mangled the Sepulveda Pirates 14-4. This girls contest was marred by a disallowed protest filed by the losing team. The crucial contest in the men's bracket comes up tonight when the two winners—Norwood and San Diego’s Crown Carpets—meet in the opener at Fullerton. The nightcap will be an exhibition girl’s game between Culver City and Gardena. The Buena Park Lynx were scheduled to meet an Arizona girl’s team in that game, but this team has withdrawn from the tourney. The Lynx will play next on Sunday night, probably against the Lionettes.

Gazette SPORTS Page 2 Anaheim Gazette, Friday, September 1, 1950 Church of Christ Takes Championship; Playoffs Begin Next Tuesday Night BEYERLINES by Ernie Beyer The Anaheim Optimists met a man last night who, for many years, has been a familiar "voice" to baseball fans in the Southland. He was Hal Burger, the announcer whose major league recreations used to be so popular over KMPC until the more timely broadcasts by the Liberty and Mutual networks practically put him out of business this year. Unfortunately, the Mutual games were really harmful since they cut right into Burger's time and they were direct from the field broadcasts. Naturally, these were preferred over Burger's rebroadcasts. To Servicemen Burger, however, has held another job for many years—one which is not so readily familiar to continental United States listeners. For years he has been the Pacific Coast voice of the Armed Forces Radio service, airing Coast Two championships were settled as the Church league played its final regular-schedule games of the year last night. Church of Christ won the top championship by beating St. Boniface 5-4, while Evangelical took the bottom bunting going away by absorbing its 16th straight defeat, this one a 13-10 whipping from Grace Lutheran. Two runs in the sixth, the second one coming from an error at third base, gave Church of Christ the victory. As it turned out it was a vital win since Grace Lutheran's victory left it only one game behind in second place. The triumphs left the final standings in this order: Church of Christ, Grace Lutheran, St. Boniface, and Zion Lutheran at the top and eligible for the playoffs. Church of Christ and St. Boniface will have a replay of their last night's game when the playoffs start next Tuesday night. These two teams are scheduled to open the playoffs, meeting at 7:30. The other playoff contest will begin at 8:45. Three homers were poled in last night's doubleheader. Carlin Coffman had bashed one to put Church of Christ ahead in the Oaks' Hitters Bring Victory By the Associated Press Oakland's pitching is beginning to look a little frayed. But as long as the hitters continue to pound the ball, Boss Charlie Dressen can manage a smile. His club is five games ahead of the pack even though it was all out last night to beat San Francisco, 10-8. San Diego, getting hotter on the trail in recent weeks, finally slipped a cog after beating Portland three straight. The Beavers put across two runs in the eighth for a 5 to 3 victory. Cal McRivin gave the Padres nine hits while Red Embree allowed the Beavers only eight. Sacramento downed Seattle, 2 to 0, and Hollywood edged Los Angeles, 5 to 4. Oakland combed San Francisco's Steve Naby and Con Dempsey for 10 early innings runs, but barely managed to salvage the game as Joe Grace clubbed a homer in the ninth for the Seals with one on. Sacramento's Orv Grove granted three hits by his pitcher. Hodges By Hitting Gil Hodges, national League, hailed The husky B last night to record in major league by Boston Brave pitcher hot American League. It happened at Ethe Dodgers trounced 19-3, to gain a half idle Philadelphia Phillies still lead League by six games. Tigers By In the American trot's stumbling Tiger game to Washington two games behind League leaders, the Yankees, victorious land, 7-5. The five other mills with four home runs books are Bobby Loyton Nationals; Ed De Philadelphia Nationals rig, 1932 New York Chuck Klein, 1936 Phillies; and Pat See cago White Sox. 17 Total B Hodges also equal league record for top game—17.

Unfortunately, the Mutual games were really harmful since they cut right into Burger's time and they were direct from the field broadcasts. Naturally, these were preferred over Burger's re-recordings. To Servicemen Burger, however, has held another job for many years—one which is not so readily familiar to continental United States listeners. For years he has been the Pacific Coast voice of the Armed Forces Radio service, airing Coastporting events overseas. Last night he talked about the usual things that this type of a celebrity talks about when he's invited to such a shindig as this one — teamwork, sportsmanship, present day indifference to athletics, and that sort of stuff. Then he dug back into his hip pocket for a gathering of after-dinner tables that would draw envy from many less verbose persons. Rabbit Ball An interesting explanation of the "lively ball" was offered by burger, who opined that it wasn't really the ball at all, but improvement in the bats that has been doing the damage. Moreover, he said, players are mostly I fence swingers today. As further proof of his contention, Burger pointed out that the home run mark of 60 by Babe Ruth has stood for almost 25 years, while the National League mark of 56 by Hack Wilson has retained untouched since 1932. Lively ball, indeed!

The husky Brooklyn first baseman hit four home runs last night to record a feat performed only five times before in major league baseball. Hodges’ walloping of four separate Boston Brave pitchers temporarily shared attention with the hot American League pennant race. It happened at Ebbets Field as the Dodgers trounced the Braves; 19-3, to gain a halftime lead on the idle Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies still lead the National League by six games. Tigers Drop In the American League, Detroit’s stumbling Tigers blew a 2-1 game to Washington and dropped two games behind the American League leaders, the New York Yankees, victorious over Cleveland, 7-5. The five other major leaguers with four home runs in the record books are Bobby Lowe, 1894 Boston Nationals; Ed Delehanty, 1896 Philadelphia Nationals; Lou Gehrig, 1932 New York Yankees; Chuck Klein, 1936 Philadelphia Phillies; and Pat Seerey, 1948 Chicago White Sox. 17 Total Bases Hodges also equaled the major league record for total bases in a game—17. The big slugger came up six times, singling and grounding out when he didn’t connect for the circuit, and drove in nine runs. Hodges now is even with his entire 1949 output of home runs—23. Gil’s fourth round-tripper made it 153 for the Brooklyn team, smashing the club’s record of 152 set last season. Walk In Winner Boston’s Clyde Vollmer walked on four straight balls by Billy Pierce in the ninth; forcing home the winning Red Sox run. Ellis Kinder came in as relief pitcher and got credit for the victory, his 13th this year. The only other American League competition saw the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Browns split. The Browns won the opener, 4-3, and the A’s the nightcap, 3-2.

Gi's fourth round-tripper made it 153 for the Brooklyn team, smashing the club's record of 152 set last season. The American League battle saw Boston's blistering Red Sox climb to within a half game of second-place Detroit with a 4-3 decision over the Chicago White Sox. It was the beantown band's 16th victory in 17 games. Blow Whole Series Cleveland, in bowling to the Yanks and losing the entire four-game series, fell five games off the pace. The Indians are fourth. Home runs by Johnny Mize, Cliff Mapes, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto contributed to the Indians' sixth straight loss. They all came off 20-game winner Bob Lemon. Tommy Byrne started for the Yanks and gained his 14th victory although relieved in the late stages. The Tigers were victimized by Gene Bearder, who won his third game of the season. Art Houtteman limited the victors to five hits, but three straight in the third inning gave Washington both its runs.
