Colonist Rally Slaps Down Indians In Repeat, 39-31 Anaheim Uses Five Men for Victory; Santa Ana Ties Newport in Standings Reverting to their early season habit of putting all of their baskets in one egg, the Anaheim Colonists ran up their longest Sunset league winning streak of the year yesterday—three straight—with a repeat 39-30 victory over the Fullerton Indians. For the second straight game, the Colonists became an "iron man" aggregation, using only five players throughout the entire game. Against Huntington Beach last week, six were used when one fouled out in the final minute, but all five managed to go the distance yesterday. Despite the win, the Colonists failed to advance in the league standings, remaining in third place as Santa Ana reversed an earlier loss to climb into a first-place tie with Newport, 58-46. In the other league games yesterday, Huntington Beach took a 43-31 decision from Orange. Low Scoring Coach Sam Keith never felt comfortable enough to pull any of his starters although Anaheim led by nine or more points throughout the entire second half. The Indians were sporadic shooters, however and could have quickly closed the gap against a team of inferior subs. The first half was extremely low scoring, the Colonists ahead 17-10 at that point.

The Indians were sporadic shooters, however and could have quickly closed the gap against a team of inferior subs. The first half was extremely low scoring, the Colonists ahead 17-10 at that point and the scoring column's appearance was rather freakish. Forwards Leon Owens and Duane Pennington had done all of the Fullerton scoring, while Anaheim's read: Eddie Ramirez 8. Sheldon Welch 7. Ron Faulkner 2. Fortunately, the remainder of the team was able to pick up his tempo when Ramirez cooled off during the last two periods and failed to score. Fullerton also picked up the beat, tripling its first-half score over the last two quarters. Indians Cold The Colonists actually trailed at the end of the first period, but a blizzardly Indian second period sent the visitors in front for good. Ramirez and Pennington each opened his team's scoring by flopping in two baskets and the Indians took an 8-7 margin at the buzer when Owens got two from the corner while Welch made a free throw and Faulkner a balk. Welch tied it with another free throw to open the second period and Ramirez hit a one-hander from the side. Pennington tied it, but Ramirez threw in another one from the free throw line. Welch hit a free throw and then bumped in two straight follow shots for the halftime edge. Up to 17 This margin soared to 17 points at one point in the third quarter before Fullerton started whittling away. Ira Webber hit a drivein, Faulkner flipped in a left handed hook, Welch hit a short one, and Faulkner again connected before Alvin Boyd broke the string with a easy setup. Webber followed with another and John Steinborn made one of only three shots that he took during the game to bring it to 29-12. When the fresher Indians started gnawing at the lead, the Colonists slowed down considerably.

Now 18-6 The victory brought Colonists' overall season record to 18 wins and six losses. The wins and losses (Continued on page 7) By PAUL RICHARDS CHICAGO (UP) — According to the information I have received, the basic weakness of the Chicago White Sox in 1950 was the lack of speed, especially in the outfield. That is one of the reasons we gave up two such fine pitches to the Red Sox like Bill Wiggs and Ray Scarborough for our fielder Al Zarilla. I know we gave up a lot but I believe in the long run, the deal will prove beneficial to us. The addition of Zarilla, as nearly a proven ball player as it possible to obtain in a deal.

Neither the battle as the ball fell into the hands of Anaheim forward Eddie Ramirez (28). First, Last Quarters Good Enough For Bee Win, 50-39, Over Injuns Two good quarters were more profitable than two poor ones were costly, thus enabling the Arnheim Bees to start a new Sunset league victory string yesterday, 50-39, at the expense of Fullerton. The win kept the Colonists in a first-place tie with the Huntington Beach Oilers who whipped Louis Even Money To KO Agramonte MIAMI (P)—Joe Louis, at 206 pounds as trim-looking as the fearsome Brown Bomber of a decade ago, is favored to knock out Omelio Agramonte of Cuba in an early round tonight and move a step closer to a return title match with Ezzard Charles. It is even money here the 36-year-old former world heavyweight champion will stop the 190-pound Cuban in four rounds or less in their scheduled ten-round fight at Miami Stadium. The bout will not be broadcast or televised. Joe expects to enter the ring tonight weighing between 207 and 208 pounds. That's just what he weighed for the second fight with Billy Conn in 1946 and Joe says he's in the best shape since that time. Could be beat Charles now? "Well," Joe replied, "I'll just say this much: Ezzard would have to be a better fighter than the first time I met him if he beats me now." Louis has another match on tap Orange 58-36 in another conference game last night. The Colonists were overwhelming in the first and last quarters, but they cooled off somewhat in the others, losing the second 16-12 and lying the third 7-7. Their greatest lead was one of 13 points, and the smallest was once a scant margin of two points. Easy Shots Just as Huntington Beach did last week, Fullerton made a killing on easy layins on the end of fast breaks. The Colonists switched to a man-for-man defense for a change, and it worked satisfactorily, for the most part. But forward Fred Ledbetter scooted away for 10 simple points in the second period to put the Anaheimers in their only truly dangerous spot of the evening. After sparring for a bit, the Colonists broke away from a 9-7 lead with a barrage of baskets by Gayle Herbel and Ronnie Bevins to take a 20-11 lead. Catch Up Coasting along in the second period, the Bees were switched to a predominantly substitute lineup by Coach Bill Hunstock and the Indians quickly chawed away to a 24-26 deficit. Hunstock just managed to get the regulars back in time to boost it to 32-27 at the half. The Indians played evenly through the third period, but they were unable to gain when Ledbetter suddenly cooled off to only a pair of buckets in the final half after Hunstock had slicked guard Henry Coon on him. Six of Top Ten Basketball Teams Notch Victories NEW YORK (P)—Six of ten basketball teams in the registered expected victories night, but not before half of experienced some rough goings. Columbia, Bradley and Shields were hard pressed while John's, Villahova and North Carolina State breezed past well-positioned Basketball's Biggest Kentucky, Oklahoma Arena and Indiana and Kansas State field.

ANAHEIM LOSES Fullerton's water poloists did thier best in the tournament. Wright, Scarborough Trade Helped Chisox -- Richards By PAUL RICHARDS CAGO (P) — According to information I have received, music weakness of the Chicago Sox in 1950 was the lack of especially in the outfield, it is one of the reasons we up two such fine pitchers in Red Sox like Bill Wight Stay Scarborough for outfield Al Zarilla. I know we gave but I believe in the long deal will prove beneficial addition of Zarilla, as near-proven ball player as it is to obtain in a deal. AILING LISTS Complete Coverage LEETON — ANAHEIM GARDEN GROVE Call Fullerton 8715-R-3 Gazette Box 151MO Despite the loss of two fine pitchers we are still very strong in that department. That along with the fancy fielding of Chico Carrasquall at shortstop, probably is our main strength. We are hoping that a year of experience with the talented South American has added poise to Nelson Fox at second and that his natural improvement will make him a worthy partner in double play production. Where we need some luck is in developing some new right-handed pitching strength. Joe Dobson should help us a lot. But we're also looking for Howie Judson or Lou Kreflow to come through for us. Or maybe it will be one of the young rookies. You can't have enough pitching, you know. We have some good power. With hitters like Hank Majeski, Eddie Robinson, Zernial, and Zarilla in the lineup, we should be able to give any pitcher something to worry about. Nobody will have much better catching than we with Phil Masi and Gus Niaros. I always have regarded them as fine backstops. Anyone who ventures on opinion on the possible effect of the military draft must realize that amounts to son...thing less a good guess. However, it is natural to think that the division clubs have more to say about than those in the second division, if for no other reason than that they are already there. Usually, the better clubs younger players. Not only are younger players the best athlete but they are the best soldier too. I'm sorry I do not feel qualified to evaluate the remainder of league as I have been away from the American league since 1951. This is my first try at managing big league club, you know. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Sold at. Bigler Pharmacy 201 W. Center Ana 2420 Rickey Makes First Pirate Act an Old One--Economy PITTSBURGH (AP) — Branch Rickey's new payroll formula for his Pittsburgh Pirates has some of the players saying—at least for the moment—"Thanks, but no thanks." Unsatisfactory contract offers have provoked howls from at least 10 Bucs who think the club is able to pay more money. But the furious hasn't budged General Manager Rickey. The boys may be squawking now but Rickey expects no holdouts. I have not had a holdout in many years," he said. "But I have not had a last place club in a great many years—32 to be exact. It is my job, as I see it, to have something to do with a pennant-winning club in Pittsburgh, and as soon as possible." And this is Rickey's pay formula: "All good players will be paid generously and all other players will be paid fairly." Here's a rundown on some of the dissatisfied players: Shortstop Stan Rojek — His $12,000 salary was cut 25 percent. Pitcher Vio Lombardi—He got the same treatment on his $8000 a year. Catcher Clyde McCullough — He's unhappy about an unspecified cut in the $16,000 he drew. But there are some happy Boys caroos, too. Already signed up are home run slugger Ralph Kiner ($65,000) who is rounding out a two-year agreement, outfielder Tom Saffell ($8000), outfielder Pete Riser ($10,000 to $12,000), and pitcher Bob Chesnes ($12,000). And the youngster who received $100,000 for inking a contract a year ago, bonus baby Paul Petit, is happily sticking to his three-year contract at $6000 a year. Petit played for the Pirates' New Orleans club last year.

Catcher Clyde McCullough — He's unhappy about an unspecified cut in the $16,000 he drew last year. Outfielder Wally Westlake — Rickey honored him with a slight increase over his $20,000, but Westlake wants more. Second baseman Danny Murray—he was offered the same salary ($12,000) he got last year.
