The SF Seals? Let’s Not Even Mention Them By The Associated Press Ever hear the one about the two Irishmen? First, there was the happy Hibernian — Bill Sweeney, whose Portland Beavers bounced into the Coast league top spot last night by whacking San Francisco, 6-2. And last—and he was never farther behind—was the unhappy Irishman, Lefty O’Doul, who managed San Francisco into its 10th straight defeat. That left Lefty as morose as Paddy’s pig and the Seals batting a cool .000 for the course. Nothing quite this dreadful has ever happened to either O’Doul or the Seals before. But it could be worse. Sacramento once lost 17 straight in 1925. And Seattle last year won only six of its first 31 games, yet rallied to finish a sturdy sixth. Three Seal bobbles aided the downfall and besides the O’Doulers got only six hits off Red Adams, one a homer by Eddie Lake just down from Detroit. Leo Thomas’ double and two singles paced the Beavers’ 10-hit assault on Bob Savage and Manny Perez. San Diego slipped from the lead, a half-game back of Portland, by bowing to Los Angeles, 12 to 4. The surprising Angels bashed three pitchers for 15 safeties, two of them circuit drives by Skinny Les Layton. Dewey 145-Pound Eckersall Named All-Time A-A Quarterback CHICAGO (AP)—Walter H. Eckersall, chosen yes as the all-time, All-America quarterback, was a fearless of 145 pounds who accomplished dazzling feats when ball was so rough President Teddy Roosevelt said it made safer. Eckersall was accorded the honor on the all-time football team being chosen by Associated Press in a nation of newspaper and radio sponsors to screen charter candidates for the national football league at New Brunswick, N.J. Thrice picked All-American starring from 1903 through at the University of Chicago, ersall was a daring, elusive ner, a spectacular drop-punter, tackler and field lef. Those were the days deaths and crippling injury sulting from massed play ponderous brushes had foiled the ropes and its leaders rule out mass formation hurdling. Eckersall died at 46 on 24, 1930, a victim of heart attack. Ecky would record between around and behemoth rivals, he became shaking, quaking guy at the end of a surgeon’s knife or prox extracting teeth. Once, he made 11 trips dentist’s office before he muster enough courage to the door and have a couple of molars yanked. During his collegiate career ersall held nearly every game and drop-kicking record. Lake just down from Detroit. Leo Thomas' double and two singles paced the Beavers' 10-hit assault on Bob Savage and Manny Perez. San Diego slipped from the lead, a half-game back of Portland, by bowing to Los Angeles. 12 to 4. The surprising Angels bashed three pitchers for 15 safeties, two of them circuit drives by Skinny Les Layton. Dewey Adkins breezed to a five-hit victory that lifted the Angels to third place. Oakland dropped to the fourth rung in bowing to Sacramento. 10-3; Hollywood subdued Seattle, 4-1, on Artie Schallock's 11-strikeout performance. Walker Cress stopped the Oaks with six hits. His Sacramento mates carved a seven-run fourth inning to cement matters. Schallock bested Marv Grissom, although yielding more hits—seven to four. Two of Hollywood's blows, however, were homers. George Schnees cracked one with none on; then Herb Gorman broke up the game with a drive scoring two ahead of him. Attendance continued sour, ranging from 2698 at San Diego to 1213 at San Francisco. The Cincinnati Reds have won three National League pennants—1919, 1939 and 1940. Two of these pennants, 1919 and 1940, resulted in world championships. CINA-CAR DRIVE IN THEATRE Out Center, 5 Mi.

The regular league will open May 8. Due to the large number of teams indicating interest in this league, plans were discussed to split the teams into two leagues and at the end of the season play an eight-team double elimination tournament instead of the conventional playoffs. It was pointed out that if 10 or more teams enter the league it will be necessary to play some of the games at La Palma park. Leibhart said that it would be to the best advantage to interest two more teams in the softball program and to play a six-game two-league schedule. Teams present voted 9 to 1 last night to use the 13-inch ball again this year. The size of the bat was left open, the only restriction being regulation shape and material. Church teams voted an entry fee to pay for individual trophies and team awards. Player eligibility will be left up to each church. The minister of each church or his representative will be asked to set up regulations about church attendance and to certify all players as attending his church. Size of the roster will not be limited this year. Rosters must be turned in with fees before the first game of the league and all changes must be recorded in writing in the recreation office so that team records will be kept straight. Rosters will become official before the first game of the second round and no additions will be allowed. The Church League teams voted to accept the commissioner type form of government agreeing that it would lead to a more efficient league. Churches represented were: Grace Lutheran, Zion Lutheran, Calvary Baptist, Bethel Baptist, White Temple, First Presbyterian, St. Boniface, Evangelical, Church of Christ and Anaheim Nazarene. Other churches in the high school district were invited to take part in the league.

In 1905 when forward ing just was coming into force although never throwing it before, connected on a heck the late Wally Steffen for yard gain and Chicago's first down against Illinois. Always a daring strategist, ersall's great acclaim on this came in the great Chicago-goan game of 1905. Hurry-Up Wolverines, undefeated for years, had the Maroons play against their goal line. Behil own goal posts to punt. Eckersed a change in Michigan's dechanged signals and ran 30 with the ball in a play that tilted the tide for a 2-0 Chicago triumph. Eckersall was one of the Western players to make V Camp's All-America teams, selected in 1904-05-06, although 1904 he was placed at en 1904. Eckersall's feats included 106-yard run against Wisconsin. The playing field then waived yards from goal line to goal.

Rain Washes Out Baseball Games While rain was great for ranchers yesterday, it didn't much to help the local athletics program along as two baseballs contests were called off. The West Coast Dodger can now in training at La Palma park, cancelled its game with Fresno at Fullerton. Anaheim high school, which had moved its game with Bellflower up yesterday, also had that contest postponed. Comiskey, Bean In Legion Tiff HOLLYWOOD UP—Two gigs of the ring. Pat Comiskey of Fresno, N.J., and Willie Beam of Los Angeles, match bulk ability tonight in a main event for 10 rounds at the Hollywood Legion stadium. Comiskey, a 30-year-old veran of ring combat, is involved in the 21-year-old local No. 1 but either fighter is liable to canvas when struck by a punch. Eckersall, chosen yesterday quarterback was a fearless mite and dazzling feats when footy Roosevelt said it must be honor on the all-time college football team being chosen by the associated Press in a national poll newspaper and radio sports editors to screen charter candidates or the national football Hall of fame at New Brunswick, N.J. Thrice picked All-America while arriving from 1903 through 1906 at the University of Chicago, Eckersall was a daring, elusive runner, a spectacular drop-kicker,unter, tackler and field leader. Those were the days when deaths and crippling injuries resulting from massed play by big, undererous brutes had football on ropes and its leaders had to lie out mass formations andurdling. Eckersall died at 46 on March 1930, a victim of heart attack. While Ecky would recklesslyurt between around and overhemoth rivals, he became a taking, quaking guy at the sight of a surgeon's knife or prongs forracting teeth. Once, he made 11 trips to a artist's office before he coulduster enough courage to open a door and have a couple of bad colars yanked. During his collegiate career, Eckersall held nearly every punting and drop-kicking record.

Practically everyone conceded the New Haven Swim club had the title locked up. But interest ran high as the fans awaited the next performance of John Marshall. Yale's sensational sophomore from Australia. The youngster—he was 21 just a week ago—was a runaway winner of the 1500-meter freestyle last night in 18:10.8, fastest ever clocked in the marathon. This was the only event on last night's program. The mark was eight full seconds under the 18:18.8 with which Marshall won the NCAA event last week at Austin, Tex.; 54 seconds under the AAU record of 19:06.8 set in 1936 by Jack Medica of the Washington A.C.; and nine full seconds under the world record set in 1949 by Japan's Hironoshin Furuhashi. Marshall's sensational 1500-meter "sprint" can't go into the record books as a world mark since it was made in Ohio State's 25-yard pool, and races over 500 yards must be in pools 55 yards or more in length to be recognized on the big board. The New Haven club piled up 15 points in the 1500-meter as Wayne Moore took second place some 50 yards back of Marshall, in 18:35.9 and Martin Smith pulled in fourth in 19:39.1. Bert McLachlan of Michigan IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Pile of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The practice of sprinkling, which is observed by some of our citizens in front of their doors, is a most commendable one and if it were done by all, the town would be so infinitely more comfortable as to well repay them for their trouble and Anaheim would cease to be synonymous with dust in summer. There are several very bad mudholes in the streets and back yards of this town which should receive immediate attention. On Thursday the authorities of Los Angeles employed six additional night watchmen to patrol the city. The auction of the effects of Adam Hill deceased, was yesterday made by order of the Probate court. The building was bought by Frank Ey, for $2800. Mr. Crowther bought the lot in the rear of it for $106 and Mr. Lewis bought a very fine buggy for $260. A considerable number of miscellaneous things were sold to other parties. We are informed that Mr. Ey has a standing offer, from a party who wishes to rent the house for $75 per month, which sum will pay him nearly 33 per cent, per annum, on his investment. 50 Years Ago Capt. and Mrs. Williamsburgh, who have spent three years past departed yesterdays home in the east, these fine days we expect them back in Anaheim to permanently. Gus Hansen was in torment from his Orange ranch. He reports beets well over his way, and his son altogether greatly supplenty every way to last year. Joe Reid has gone to take a job in a drug store. 25 Years Ago Murdock Henry has been Stockton and will be aboard Murdock's cheery smile and ant handshake will be while he is away. Murdock shake is in a class self, and his smile is a beauty and a joy forever. Mrs. M. C. Root and life who have been guests of Mrs. Gerald Sandilands for weeks, past, returned to home in Los Angeles last Mrs. Root has entirely relied from a serious operation trained some three months Once, he made 11 trips to a tourist's office before he coulduster enough courage to open the door and have a couple of badcollar yanked. During his collegiate career, Eckshall held nearly every puntingand drop-kicking record. Heperformed the astounding featof kicking five field goals in two separate games. Hit punts alwaysheld 60 yards or better. The tiny, flitting old Maroonids the distinction of being a pioneer in the forward passing game. In 1905 when forward passjust was coming into football, though never throwing a passfore connected on a heave to late Wally Steffen for a 75-yard gain and Chicago's first touchdown against Illinois. Always a daring strategist, Eckshall's great acclaim on this scoreone in the great Chicago-Michigangame of 1905. Hurry-Up Yost'ssilverers, undefeated for fiveyards, had the Maroons pressedmaint their goal line. Behind hisgoal posts to punt, Ecky notchange in Michigan's defense, ringed signals and ran 30 yardswith the ball in a play that turnedtide for a 2-0 Chicago triumph. Eckshall was one of the firsteastern players to make WalterMimp's All-America teams, beingected in 1904-05-06, althoughin 1946 he was placed at end. Eckshall's feats included a-yard run against Wisconsin. He playing field then was 110yds from goal line to goal line. Eckshall, coached by AmosAnzo Stagg, never injuredlying. He had the knack of curl-himself like a ball when he hitground/ and avoiding brute tackling with flashing feints. One of Eckshall's notable dropscame against Wisconsin at Dison, Wis., in 1905. It wasa bright-sunny day and thesurrounding neighborhood was dry,the field was ankle deep inthe result—rumors had it—a student sprinkling to stoppersall. But the strategy failedon Eckshall split the uprightsin 25 yards out for a 4-0 Chilcvictory. Fazio SurpriseMasters Leader AUGUSTA, Ga., — Four times George Fazio has poked his headabove the crowd of golfers whofollow the tournament circuit. This time the Conshohocken kidintends to keep it there. Swarthy George, a scrap irondealer in Conshohocken, Pa., ledthe Masters tournament today asthe second round opened at therough, tough Augusta Nationalcourse. But his lead wasn't secureeven if he did shoot a 68in yesterday's first round. That four-under par golf barelywas good enough to put him ahead of two veteran professionals, pressing him on the 6900-yard National course. Sam Sneadand Lloyd Mangrum were right behind with a pair of 69's. In 1946 Fazio won the Canadian Open. That was thefirst time he whipped his weight ingood golfers. In 1947 he manageda tie for first in the Bing Crosbytournament. But not until lastsummer at Merion in theNationalOpen did Fazio get his headabove the crowd again. Three golfers finished in a tieafter the final round at Merion. Fazio was one of them tiedfor the greatest championship in golf.Ben Hogan and Mangrumwere the others. Ben won the Open in an historicplayoff and Fazio went downagain into the mass of golfers. Today, George is up again,up higher than Hogan, his tormenterin the Open, and higher thanMangrum, who also scoredbetter than Fazio in that playoff. WASHINGTON—The questionsI have heard most frequently since returning from Europe are: "Whatdo they think of us abroad? Whydon't they like us better?" Questions are important. Because, while we have pouredbillions into Europe, first to winawar, then to feed Europe afterthe war, later to reconstruct it.now to rearm it, the factremains that we are not popular. To some degree our popularitycan be measured by the distance ofeach country from the Iron Curtain.In Turkey, Yugoslavia,Berlin—all check-and-jowl with theIron Curtain—we are popular.Bas as you travel west away fromRussia, fear lessens, and so doesour popularity. In Western Europe, however,if you get away from the newspapercomment, away from the cartoons and the sophisticateddrawing-room conversations,you will find a lot of genuinefriendship for Americans amongthe real people of such countriesas France. It comes out in littleways—such as an automobilemechanic who refuses to be paidfor helping an American automobilist in the French countryside; or the quiet tearing-downof communist posters denouncing Eisenhower. It is in England, a country withno language barrier and ourstrongest cultural ties, where wemost need to build up ourpopularity fences. For in no otherhave the British scared.

Ain Washes Out Baseball Games While rain was great for the chers yesterday, it didn't do much to help the local athletic program along as two baseballests were called off. The West Coast Dodger camp, in training at La Palma, cancelled its game with uno at Fullerton. Anaheim in school, which had moved game with Bellflower up to yesterday, also had that one opened. Comiskey, Bean Legion Tiff HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Two giants on ring. Pat Comiskey of Patton, N.J., and Willie Bean of Angeles, match bulk and fly tonight in a main event for 10 rounds at the Holly-Legion stadium. Comiskey, a 30-year-old veteran of ring combat, is favored by the 21-year-old local Negro fighter who is liable to hit when struck by a solid ball. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says chunks eat enough eggs of snapping turtles, which prey on ducks, to outweigh the number of ducklings they kill. Ben won the Open in an historic playoff and Fazio went down again into the mass of golfers. Today, George is up again, up higher than Hogan, his tormenter in the Open, and higher than Mangrum, who also scored better than Fazio in that playoff. Hogan was in fourth place going into the Masters' second round with a 70. Four others—Lew Worsham, Byron Nelson, Dick Mayer and Johnny Bulla—were tied for fifth with 71's. Fazio's grip on the first round lead was unexpected by almost everyone except himself. Oddsmakers saw him as a 20-1 bet. He was an 8-1 bet today to win the Masters for his first major victory. Fazio is a pro at Woodmont country club at Rockville, Md. On his tour yesterday he scored four birdies and 14 pars. Only once did he get himself in deep trouble and then he got out of it with a brilliant seven-iron shot. Two long putts dropped for him on holes No. 14 and 15—first a 10-footer, then an 8-footer. On the home hole his approach from about 150 yards out stopped four feet from the pin. He sank the green shot for a birdie three. Only 30 putts were necessary to get George home in front.

MOVING-STORAGE General Trucking PHONE 2121 805 S. Los Angeles St. ANAHEIM YS OF From the Plies of the Anaheim Gazette BY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago Capt. and Mrs. Williams of Pittsburgh, who have spent the winters in Southern California for several years past, departed yesterday for their home in the east. One of these fine days we expect to see them back in Anaheim to remain permanently. Gus Hansen was in town yesterday from his Orangethorpe ranch. He reports beets looking well over his way, and the season altogether greatly superior in every way to last year. Joe Reid has gone to Redlands to take a job in a drug store. 25 Years Ago Murdock Henry has gone to Stockton and will be absent for some time in the northern city. Murdock's cheery smile and pleasant handshake will be missed while he is away. Murdock's handshake is in a class by itself, and his smile is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Mrs. M. C. Root and little son, who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands for some weeks, past, returned to their home in Los Angeles last week. Mrs. Root has entirely recovered from a serious operation she sustained three months ago. 2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Published afternoons, Monday through Friday, at 259 East Center, Anaheim, California.

MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager LUCY HUBBARD Circulation Manager Gentlemen's Agreement... The other day the Gazette published in "The Gazetteer" a statement by the Fullerton News-Tribune editor in which the "annexation" battle between Fullerton and Anaheim was described in bleak terms—for Anaheim. The column pointed out that Anaheim has lost the important battles in the courts which would lead to Anaheim annexing the area north of Anaheim to Orangethorpe ave. And, then the Fullerton editor made the telling blow. He said Anaheim was pouring money down a rat hole in a hopeless cause. Of course, Anaheim city officials were agast—and so told the Gazette. The Gazette pointed out that never has the Anaheim position in the matter been stated forcefully or satisfactorily; and this paper suggested that Anaheim city officials draw up a state-has a likewise competent planning commission. Why can't these folks sit down and in the spirit of the public good figure out a logical solution of this whole mess? It is vitally important that the annexation battle be terminated. It is vitally important that good, logical boundary lines be drawn on Anaheim's north in order to facilitate sound building, proper taxation, and logical use of public utilities and public institutions. It will be to the benefit of everybody to try a new course in this matter. Mrs. M. C. Root and little son, who have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands for some weeks past, returned to their home in Los Angeles last week. Mrs. Root has entirely recovered from a serious operation she sustained some three months ago. She will be remembered as the former Miss Mildred Lawrence, and is a great-granddaughter of Dr. William N. Hardin, pioneer physician of this city. Have the British scared. They are afraid that, by being the tall on the American kite, they will find themselves flipped into war without having any chance to pause or argue. Reason No. 3—The British have lightened their belts to such an extent that their meat ration is now no greater than during the war—eight pence a week. In contrast they can't help watching a wealthy, unrational USA. Naturally they are jealous. British meat-rationing incidentally, is not because the British can't get meat, but because meat costs precious dollar exchange, and the Labor government is making heroic efforts to cut out luxury imports and stabilize its trade balance. Reason No. 4—Is differences with the USA over China and General MacArthur. While you find criticism of MacArthur all over Europe, it reaches a white heat in England. There he is sometimes called "the first satrap of the American empire." MacArthur, to the British, is an advance warning of what would happen in any Allied war. An American general, they fear, would dominate a weak White House and likewise the fate of Britain. Furthermore there is grave misgiving that MacArthur is trying spread the Korean war to China just for the purpose of extending his own power. No matter how unjustified this misgivings it is deep—and a serious vector in our relations with our thornto understated city. And, then the Fullerton editor made the telling blow. He said Anaheim was pouring money down a rat hole in a hopeless cause. Of course, Anaheim city officials were agast—and so told the Gazette. The Gazette pointed out that never has the Anaheim position in the matter been stated forcefully or satisfactorily; and this paper suggested that Anaheim city officials draw up a statement on the matter and submit it for publication. They did so. Basis of their position in the annexation controversy, the city officials pointed out, is a Gentlemen's Agreement reached with Fullerton 25 years ago which would place a future boundary between the cities at Orangéthorpe. The Fullerton paper dug into the records and could find no such "agreement" in the minutes of the city governing body, nor could any of the city officials of the time remember such a pact. Without an official record it appears as if the Gentlemen's Agreement was made by gentlemen who forgot to formalize it for the benefit of future attorneys who would battle the question. Now—because of the statements made in Fullerton and Anaheim papers it would appear that we are all headed for more bitter trouble. At least, however, a knotty mess has been brought out into the open. And, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact it can lead to a proper settlement of the controversy. To give advice is easy, but nevertheless the Gazette is going to offer some; We feel that responsible citizens should enter this fight and bring it to a good conclusion. How? Simply by assigning the mission to the Anaheim Planning commission to meet with the Fullerton Planning commission (with the county planning group represented). Anaheim, fortunately, has informed and able citizens on its planning commission. And, according to the editor of the Fullerton News-Tribune of this whole mess? It is vitally important that the annexation battle be terminated. It is vitally important that good, logical boundary lines be drawn on Anaheim's north in order to facilitate sound building, proper taxation, and logical use of public utilities and public institutions. It will be to the benefit of everybody to try a new course in this matter. We say turn it over to the planning commissions and get a decent, proper solution.
