2 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Padres Take Second Straight Win Over Seals to Take PCL Leadership By The Associated Press One of the pre-season favorites, the San Diego Padres, was all alone today atop the Pacific Coast league standings. By taking their first two games from San Francisco they pushed the Seals into last place while the rest of the teams were splitting theirs. The clutch hit, the spine-tingling blow with runners on base, decided all last night's games. Harry Malmberg's eighth-inning double gave San Diego its 3 to 2 decision. Catcher Mike Sandlock stepped up to the plate in the eleventh inning at Sacramento and socked a double with the bases loaded that gave Hollywood a 6 to 2 verdict over the Solons. Kevin 'Chuck' Conners, giant Los Angeles first baseman, poled a towering homer in the eighth that gave the Angels a 10 to 9 edge over Seattle. Portland and Oakland were idle, these teams having played a day-and-night doubleheader opening day. Rogers Hornsby's Seattle club, after jumping off to an 8-0 lead in four innings at Los Angeles, faded in the late innings, and Connors was ever present at opportunity times to sock in runs. He collected four hits in five trips and drove in three runs. George Vico pounded in three for the Rainiers. The game was marked by four errors of commission and many others of omission. The contest attracted only 1162 spectators. Death Sentence Put on Your Host ARCADIA (UP) — The sentence of death has been passed on Your Host, the 1950 Kentucky Derby favorite, and as game as thoroughbreds come. Four veterinarians have examined Movie Executive William Goetz' four-year-old colt since he was injured at Santa Anita Jan. 13. All have recommended that he be destroyed. Only the red-tape involved in a $250,000 insurance policy is prolonging the pain-wracked existence of a badly-crippled animal whose right leg, the tendons withering, is drawn up at a 45-degree angle. Your Host, a son of the great Allbhai, was born with physical handicaps, but there never was anything wrong with his heart. Movie Boss Louis B. Mayer bred Your Host, but handlers discovered the youngster had a neck crook and couldn't straighten it. Goetz made a very fortunate buy. Your Host liked to run, liked to win. Your Host, a son of the great Alibhai, was born with physical handicaps, but there never was anything wrong with his heart. Movie Boss Louis B. Mayer bred Your Host, but handlers discovered the youngster had a neck crook and couldn't straighten it. Goetz made a very fortunate buy. Your Host liked to run, liked to win. He ran and he won and Goetz pocketed $384,795. Your Host was a big disappointment in the 1950 Kentucky Derby, finishing out of the money, but he had had a vigorous winter campaign in California and apparently had lost his fine edge. Back here, as a four-year-old, he was regaining his razor sharpness. His trainer, Harry Daniels, called him a "mortal cinch" for the $200,000 Santa Anita Maturity. Your Host didn't get up to that race. Running in the San Pasqual Handicap, he fell on the far turn, throwing Jockey Eric Guerrin, who was uninjured. Your Host suffered a shattered gina bone. It was broken in four places. The animal has been in extreme pain for some time. He wins if the right leg is touched. He stands on three legs. What good is a three-legged horse?" asks Venerinarian Dr. J. E. Peters, who has taken care of Your Host since the accident. If we could have operated on him a month ago we might have saved him for stud purposes. Now that's impossible." Trainer Daniels considered Your Host more valuable for stud purposes than his daddy, Alibhai, for which a Kentucky syndicate paid Mayer $500,000. "My reasoning on that is that Your Host's mother, Boudoir II, is better breed than Alibhai's dam." That's of no moment. A game and courageous competitor of the turf is suffering out the last days of his existence, the penalty of his unflagging desire to do his best at all times. Port Orange Opens Fishing Tomorrow At six o'clock tomorrow morning in command of Captain Johnny Taylor, the 62-foot snapper in four innings at Los Angeles, faded in the late innings, and Connors was ever present at opportunity times to sock in runs. He collected four hits in five trips and drove in three runs. George Vico pounded in three for the Rainiers. The game was marked by four errors of commission and many others of omission. The contest attracted only 1162 spectators. Johnny Lindell, the ex-Yankee outfielder turned pitcher, had a shutout for Hollywood going into the last of the eighth, but he ran into trouble with his knuckleball and had to give way to Jack Salveson. Sacramento tagged Salverson with the tying run in the ninth, but in the eleventh the Stars put three men on base and set the stage for Sandlock's prodigious blow. The Stars got only six hits off four Sacramento pitchers, but the Solons were able to fashion only two runs off 12 safeties. Manny Perez and Sad Sam Jones were locked in a tight pitching duel at San Diego when Maimberg unloaded his deciding double that broke a 2-2 deadlock and provided the win margin. Jones did his share on the mound by scattering seven hits and striking out 11 Seals. The Padres got nine blows off Perez who pitched 7½ innings. The Seals got their tallies in the second when Ray Orteig singled and was driven home by McCauley's homer into the left field stands. Gambler to Tell Wilson Suspicion Of Big Ten Ref CHICAGO (P)—A Milwaukee sports gambler says he will tell Big Ten Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wilson the name of a Western conference basketball official he accuses of "irregularities," and back up the charge with "iron-clad proof." The admitted gambler is Sidney A. Brodson. He testified before the Kefauver crime committee in Washington, D.C., last Saturday about his, and other gamblers' suspicions of a Big Ten official. There are only two rosters this spring wobe snapped up for big President Bill DeWitt's auction announcement.

Kramer, Segun In Pro Net Tit Port Orange Opens Fishing Tomorrow At six o'clock tomorrow morning in command of Captain Johnny Taylor, the 65-foot sportfisher, Alalunga, resumes daily fishing trips from Port Orange. With fresh paint and new red upholstery, she looks her best, but what is more important she has just passed a special four year Coast Guard survey which renders a fishing trip about its safe as a day in the back yard. The Alalunga has many special features that keep anglers eagerly awaiting their first sailing date. For one think, on what other fishing excursion can you order, and get waffles for breakfast? Her main salon which can accommodate 28 passengers at small tables is a brief version of the lounge on an ocean liner, and there is the convenience of the card room below. Herman Injured By Flying Bat LOS ANGELES (P)—Hit by a flying baseball bat, Don Herman, son of former major league slugger Babe Herman, suffered a broken jaw and the loss of eight teeth yesterday. Herman plays outfield for the University of Southern California. His father is a coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Big Ten Commissioner K. L. (Fug) Wilson the name of a Western conference basketball official he accuses of "irregularities," and back up the charge with "iron-clad proof." The admitted gambler is Sidney A. Brodson. He testified before the Kefauver crime committee in Washington, D.C., last Saturday about his, and other gamblers' suspicions of a Big Ten official. Wilson said he is willing to meet Brodson in Chicago to discuss the allegation. He has asked the crime committee for a copy of Brodson's testimony made under oath to review before the meeting. "The fact that the 'suspicious' of an admitted gambler have been given wide attention and distribution is very regrettable," said Wilson in a prepared statement. "I am commissioner, am determined to investigate the entire matter as rapidly and thoroughly as possible and I am already in contact with the Senate committee." Brodson said in Milwaukee last night that he is willing to disclose the official's name to Wilson and "would like to co-operate as much as possible." The Big Ten uses 27 or 28 "varity" officials during the basketball season. Brodson told the Chicago Tribune he can "supply iron-clad proof to Mr. Wilson of this official's irregularities." "I prefer to delay the meeting for a week or two—I am on the front page right now and would like to get off." Brodson said. Campus Tourne Moves to Semis PEORIA (P)—Favorites the national campus basketball tournament last night to see unpredictable semi-final rallies. After a layoff today, the finals will be held Friday with Wyoming facing hostley in the opener and Utah on Syracuse in the nighttime.

Brownies Possess Nice Nickname Too By GAYLE TALBOT PHOENIX (AP) — There isn't a nicer group of men in baseball than the official family of the St. Louis Browns, nor a more popular manager than Zack Taylor. And with that you have about summed up the situation. How long the American League can afford to go along with a club which drew only 247,131 customers to its home park last year and which conceivably could attract fewer in the coming campaign is one of those things baseball men wonder about when they run out of other topics. The outfit Zack is leading down through Texas doesn't look any better than the one which finished seventh, last year and was dead last both in club hitting and fielding. There are only two players on the roster this spring who would New York DA Hunts Four More Fixers Along East Coast NEW YORK (AP) — A widespread search is underway along the Atlantic seaboard for at least four more fixers of college basketball games. In disclosing the search District Attorney Frank Hogan said last night "one or more of the four sought may have had confederates, fellow-conspirators." Hogan did not disclose the names of the four, but said he knew who they were. "We're following all sorts of leads and it's not a question of sending detectives hit or miss into all the states," the district attorney said. "But we have detectives down in Florida and in many cities along the Eastern seaboard." This was the latest development in the college basketball scandal that now has engulfed 17 players from CCNY, Manhattan, Long Island and NYU who are charged with fixing 20 games in Madison Square Garden during the last two years. Irwin Dambrot, Norman Mager and Herb Cohen, CCNY players on last year's grand slam championship team, the latest arrested were arraigned yesterday in felony court and held in $1000 bail each for a hearing April 9. Morris Goldman, assistant D. A., told magistrate Samuel Orr that the three had cooperated with his office and that "the fixer attempted to fix them in tournament games last year but they refused." Allen Terms LA Spor NEW YORK (AP)—Dr. Forest C. (Phog) Allen, University of Kansas basketball coach, had another mild tempest stirred up today after his remarks in connection with demands that there be a national commissioner of inter-collegiate sport. Allen said "we will a ceiling on aid for a national commission. He suggested the would be paid $1000 and would take over by college presidents." "I was told that nolds was offered $Cadillac to go to school," Allen said. He an All-America hall University of Nebraska. "He didn't go," he said that raises the question he gets at Nebraska. In rebuttal, Reynolds came to Nebraska because to I never heard $10,000 or any Cadillac. George (Potsy) Clay athletic director, says a Big Seven co-provided tuition. Pairings Named For AGA Tourney First-round pairings for its annual tournament were announced today by the Anaheim Golf association. At the same time, the AGA announced an April 8 deadline for the completion of these first-round battles. It will be purely by mutual agreement between the competitors to determine the time and place of these matches. The pairings: First Flight F. M.

The outfit Zack is leading down through Texas doesn't look any better than the one which finished seventh, last year and was dead last both in club hitting and fielding. There are only two players on the roster this spring who would be snapped up for big money if President Bill DeWitt sent out an auction announcement. Ned Garver, a fine young righthanded pitcher, would fetch the most. He won only 13 games last year while losing 18, but his earned-run average of 3.39 was second in the league among hurlers who worked 10 or more complete games. Outfielder Don Lenhardt probably would sell second high, being one of the league's better extra-base clouters. His batting average of .273 last season was deceptive. He lashed 22 home runs and drove across 81 scores. His 131 hits were good for 231 bases. After that, DeWitt might have to use a little sales talk. Ken Wood, another outfielder, possibly would find an eager taker or two, even though he hit only .225. He has one of the greatest throwing arms in the game and would be most useful to one of the better-fixed pilots who can afford the luxury of a defensive platoon. Johnny Berardino, the veteran untility infielder, would be grabbed by at least one club; namely the Cleveland Indians, if they could get him back. But Johnny probably will do most of the Browns' third-basing if Roy Sievers continues to have trouble with his throwing arm. A lot of baseball men like Sherman Lollar, who was picked up from the Yanks in one of those trades. He hit .280 and had 65 RBI's last year, including 13 homers. Stubby Overmire, the veteran southpaw, would be helpful to come club which has trouble beating the Yankees. He knocked the Bombers back three times last year and lost to them only once.

Allen said "we will never put a ceiling on aid for athletes" until a national commissioner is named. He suggested the commissioner would be paid $100,000 per year and would take over powers held by college presidents. "I was told that Bobby Reynolds was offered $10,000 and a Cadillac to go to some other school," Allen said. Reynolds was an All-America halfback at the University of Nebraska. "He didn't go," Allen added. "That raises the question of what he gets at Nebraska." In rebuttal, Reynolds said, "I came to Nebraska because I wanted to, I never heard about any $10,000 or any Cadillac." George (Potsy) Clark, Nebraska athletic director, said Reynolds gets a Big Seven conference approved tuition grant-in-sid Hill Greets 137 At SC Practice LOS ANGELES UP—Football Coach Jess Hill hopes to instill a "winning spirit" in his huge squad which turned out for spring grid practice at the University of Southern California. A record array of 137 players greeted the new Trojan coach, including 20 lettermen. SC won two games, tied two and lost five in 1950. "My major aim in spring practice is to instill a winning attitude in the Trojans," he confided. No record has been kept of actual candidates reporting for spring drills, but the 137 is unamounting to $160 this year. Clark added that Allen's comment, made at a luncheon given by the New York Herald Tribune for its East-West all star fresh air fund basketball game, "sounds like Phog Allen's annual speech to get himself quoted in the newspapers." Allen will coach the West team that meets the eastern squad conched by Clair Bee of Long Island university. The game will be played at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. "College presidents must surrender the power they now have but which they have done little with," Allen said. "... not one school is observing conference laws now. It's gotten to be like prohibition. "The Midwest," he said, "hasn't got the mess you have in New York. You will uncover some in Los Angeles. That's a cesspool out there." Allen was referring to the New York basketball scandal, and said, "we coaches will have to accept the fundamental responsibility for these boys because we went out and got them." In Los Angeles, Athletic Director Willis O. Hunter of the University of Southern California, said of Allen's remarks on the "cesspool:" "This is just another recurrence of Mr. Allen's expression of his philosophy. Los Angeles a cesspool? What can you say about a stupid remark like that." Hunter admitted it would be fine to have a national commissioner, but declared: "First, the commissioner must have some code of regulations or" Baseball Briefs By The Associated Press PHOENIX—Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankee prize rookie, is hitting at a .434 clip in spring training. Mickey got a single and double, and drove in three runs, but the Yanks were beaten by the Chicago White Sox yesterday, 10-8. Earlier, Mantle signed a Kansas City Blues contract. This was merely a formal gesture, as the 19-year-old youngster will remain with the varsity. PHOENIX—The Chicago Cubs today open a two-game series with the New York Yankees, a team they haven't faced since losing four straight to the Bombers in the 1938 World Series. The only Cub player who was with the Cubs then and still is in the lineup is Phil Cavarretta. He is starting his 17th season with the Cubs. Against the 1938 Yankees, he collected six hits in 13 trips for a .462 series mark. TUCSON—Orestes Miloso has been a batting phenomenon with the Cleveland Indians this spring, but the question of where to play him loomed bigger than ever today. Minoso wants to play third base, but Manager Al Lopez already has a good third baseman in Al Rosen. Because of Minoso's hitting ability, Lopez had hoped to convert him into an outfielder, where he could be used to advantage. His outfield play against the St. practice at the University of Southern California. A record array of 137 players greeted the new Trojan coach, including 20 lettermen. SC won two games, tied two and lost five in 1950. "My major aim in spring practice is to instill a winning attitude in the Trojans," he confided. No record has been kept of actual candidates reporting for spring drills, but the 137 is unquestionably the largest in SC history.
