Church of Christ, Grace Lutheran Win In First Church League Playoff Games As expected, Church of Christ and Grace Lutheran—the favorites—came through with victories last night to open the Church league playoffs, but both contests turned out to be low-hitting, meager scoring affairs. Ev MacDonald powered a home run for Church of Christ to win the opener 1-0 over St. Boniface, while Grace Lutheran scored four times in the first inning and then held on to topple Zion Lutheran 4-1. Outhit 5-2 St. Boniface even outhit Church of Christ, 5-2, but MacDonald's fourth-inning blow proved to be sufficient. Francis Patin, St. Boniface hurler, allowed only three opponents to reach base—one on an infield hit and another on a walk. Lloyd Lichtenwalter found himself frequently in considerably more trouble. In the third inning St. Boniface loaded the bases and in the fourth it had two men in scoring position, but in both cases Lichtenwalter managed to safely wriggle out of the threatening situation. Heinz Hits Center fielder Ray Heinz was the game's hitting star, collecting three for three for the losers. Grace Lutheran's four-run lead was all that Art Altheide needed as he pitched his team to a three-hit victory. Only one man had reached first against him during the first six innings, Zion finally cracking the scoring ice on Dick Henning's double and Merle Dick's single. Playoffs Continue Grace Lutheran's four-run outburst came as the result of singles by Art Michel, Paul Altheide, and Boyd Johnson, a double by Del Martens, and an error by Zion. The playoffs—a best two-for-three series—will continue tomorrow night. Grace Lutheran and Zion Lutheran will meet in the first game with Church of Christ facing St. Boniface in the nightcap.

Babe Ruth led the American league in drawing bases on balls for 11 seasons during his career. Larsen Wins National Tennis Title By Whipping Flam with Own Tactic FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (AP)—They say you’re wasting your time trying to beat another guy at his specialty, but that’s just what Art Larsen, the new national amateur tennis champion, did. The skinny San Francisco, who won the title yesterday by defeating Herb Flam of Beverly Hills, Calif., 6-3, 4-6, 5-6-4, 6-3 in the final, outran, outlasted, and outfought the UCLA senior to become the first left-handed ruler since Johnny Doeg in 1930. There wasn’t supposed to be a man in tennis who could beat Flam into the dirt. But Larsen did—and to make it more emphatic, he came from behind to turn the trick. When Herbie played at baseline, so did Larsen. If Herbie made a sensational return, Larsen made sure his was stupendous. That’s how it went. Five Or Quit “I was going to give myself just about three more years to win the championship,” said Larsen, a machinegunner with the 17th Cavalry squadron during the war. “I figured if a fellow can’t win it after playing in the big time for five years, he should quit.” Now his plans are uncertain. He says he’s not thinking of turning professional, which seems to be where most of the top players wind up these days, but that he certainly wouldn’t turn down any offers. Promoter Bobby Riggs was not in the audience. “At the moment,” he said, “my only plans are to go home and work on all phases of my game. Then I’ll see what happens.” Cup Mistake He quit the University of San Francisco last year. No matter how you try to avoid it, the subject of the loss of the Davis Cup comes up. Here are the new champion’s thoughts of it: “I think I should have been on the team, along with Flam and possibly Mulloy. I’m not being critical of the selection committee. I just think it made a mistake. Flam, who is 21 years old and holds both the national intercollegiate title and the national club courts crown, was a mighty blue young man. He thought he had the thing tucked away, but he underestimated Larsen.

National League CITIZENS of ANAHEIM A proposal to enlarge the National Camp of the Citrus Growers, Inc., on East Vermont street near East street, Anaheim, is scheduled to come before the Orange County Planning Commission, Room 315, Courthouse Annex, Santa Ana, next Friday, September 8, at 2:15 p.m. We believe that this proposed project is undesirable, that the Anaheim City Council should investigate the possibility of having the camp moved to another location, that the following conditions have resulted: Devaluation of property Littering the streets with debris, and trespassing. Putting a burden on the Police Dept. Creating a potential danger to the residents by concentrating a large number of single men in a camp. General noise and confusion. Monopolizing of the streets and sidewalks of the southern part of Anaheim in the evenings and weekends. Register your protest against these conditions by attending the meeting of the Planning Commission at the County Court House Annex, Santa Ana, next Friday, September 8, at 2:15 p.m. CITIZENS! Don't fail to attend the meeting of the Planning Commission. It is to your interests! CITIZENS COMMITTEE Colonists Boast Few Lettermen, Little Weight, Small Turnout Clare Van Hoorebeke, the new Anaheim high school football coach, is not different in one respect from coaches that you'll find anywhere—he's pessimistic. But unlike many of them, he has good reason to be. For those players who have reported this year—there are about 45 or 50 of them, varsity, Bees and Cees included—look like a grown-up version of Singer's midgets. Van Hoorebeke, however, is far from ready to give up before the season even starts. Early Start "I understand that in past years not much work has been done before school opened," he said, "and there are probably several boys who won't turn up for practice until next week." Until that time, at least, he will reserve judgment. Thus far, Van Hoorebeke has had the team running. Air kinds of running. Running through tires, around the track, to the left and right, and in wind sprints. The purpose, natch, is to see just who can run. Several Swifties "I've found several boys who are pretty clever with their feet," he summed up, "but most of them don't go over 150 pounds. The line situation is no better. My guards weigh about 160. They may be all Giants to Use Rook, Vet Backs BEAR MOUNTAIN, N. Y., (F) One rookie and one veteran backfield unit is the tentative plan of coach Steven Owen when his New York football Giants make their home debut tomorrow night against the Los Angeles Rams. Owen plans to use Auburn's Travis Tidwell at quarterback; Eddie Price of Tulane at fullback; Forrest Griffith of Kansas at left half back; and Randy Clay of Texas at right halfback. The second unit, with Charlie Conerly at quarter, would have only one rookie, Bob (Stonewall) Jackson, at fullback, and two veteran halfs—Gene Roberts and Joe Scott. The Thursday game is for the benefit of the New York Herald Tribune Fresh Air fund. Hurlers Mangled In PCL Contest By The Associated Press There's an echo of smash all over the Pacific Coast today. Free-swinging hitters spike home runs in every night to roll up generally low scores. But when the rack sided the Oakland Oaks with five games ahead of the play. Oakland's win over Los Angeles was the closest of 6-3. San Diego mauledimento, 12-1, Hollywood pSan Francisco 7-1, and man handled Portland 14-5. Wakefield Homers Dick Wakefield earned piece of his fancy salary loping a grand-slam homeland. Los Angeles' Spence homered with one in the fifth to keep the score close, but Oakland collided hits off three Angel pitch George Bamberger limited Wrigley lads to six. San Diego's Jack Gsmacked two homers, on two aboard, and Harvey also homered in the Padik hit assault. George Zuverin ning his 16th game, walked men in the eight, then Reich scored Sacramento run on a fielder's choice.

They may be all right, but boys that size begin to get a little groggy when they've taken a steady pounding for three quarters." It's pretty easy to teii by his methods that Van Hoorebeke is a condition and fundamental booster. The Colonists are working out twice daily—at 9:30 and 3:30—and besides the leg work they've spent most of the time on blocking and learning the new stance that they'll have to assume with this year's T formation. Up to now, though, the football itself has not been very much in evidence on the practice field. New Beginning Van Hoorebeke, whose T will replace the Colonist single wing this year, realizes that he will start from scratch on both the formation and on manpower. Of 24 men who received letters last year, only six returned this year and two of those departed this morning with the National Guard. Starting thus, Van Hoorebeke has slightly more than three weeks in which to work. The Colonists open at Bell Gardens on Sept. 29.

American League First Division Teams Go After Each Other Now By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sport Writer The four American League contenders go at each other's throats tonight in vital series that may make or break their pennant ambitions. Fenway Park will be the site of the main event. The Boston battleground will pit the leadgue-leading New York Yankees against the third-place Red Sox. The other will be fought out at Briggs stadium in Detroit between the runnerup Tigers and the invading fourth place Cleveland Indians. Lopat To Hurl Yankee Manager Casey Stengel has nominated lefty Ed Lopat (15-7) to face the sizzling Red Sox who have won 18 of their last 21 games with a power-packed line-up boasting a club batting mark of better than .300. The move is a daring one as Fenway park is regarded as a graveyard for lefthand pitchers. Lopat, however, has mastered the Red Sox four times this year in five decisions and one of the triumphs came in Boston where the left field wall is cozy with third base. Red Sox skipper Steve O'Neill has named lefty Mel Parnell (14-8). Parnell, who won 25 games last year, is back in form after a poor start. He has won six straight games and nine out of his last 10. At Detroit, Early Wynn (16-6), enjoying his best season, has been named to pitch for Cleveland against lefty Hal Newhouser (12-9). Two Games Each Both of these series are two-game affairs. The Yanks and Red Sox were idle yesterday but the Indians and Tigers tuned up for their seventh. Hoot Evers collected four hits and Johnny Lipon and Vic Wertz three each. Marlin Stuart, who took over in the fifth, was the winner. Only two games were played in the National League. The surging New York Giants downed the Brooklyn Dodgers 8-5, in 10 innings and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Giants victory dumped the second place Dodgers 7½ games behind the league-leading Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers open a four-game series in Philadelphia tonight. The victory elevated the fourth-place Giants to within 1½ games of third-place Boston and to 2½ of Brooklyn.
