Still Another Bridesmaid Year for Sox? By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Is this going to be another Bridesmaid year for Boston's perennial left-at-the-altar Red Sox? Vic Raschl's 5-0 handcuffing of the Sox sluggers for the New York Yankees yesterday may have been just one of those things. On the other hand, it might have been a sign of things to come. It smacks too much of the same old Red Sox" of the past four years. Watching the Sox being throttled with six little singles made it almost impossible to visualize them as the same pulverizing team that ran off 11 straight Grapefruit league victories. It made it easy to recall the Red Sox, of 1947-48-49-50, all-conquering on paper. All-powerful in spring training. All-mighty in the eyes of most experts. All-America choice for the flag. Then they start to play for keeps. They stray away from friendly Fenway park. And Boston's blasting batters become brittle and its hurricane hurlers become harmless. The season's opener proved a total loss so far as Boston was concerned. Not only were the Red Sox horse-collared, but the FLEET AND LONELY—Larry Kirchman and Aaron Peralta found themselves all alone as they fled over the finish line in their events in yesterday's Sunset San Francisco Baffles Hollywood As It Wins Seventh of Last N By The Associated Press They're in last place but those surprising San Fran Seals most assuredly aren't playing like a club that fig to finish in the Pacific Coast league cellar. San Francisco Baffles Hollywood As It Wins Seventh of Last N By The Associated Press They're in last place but those surprising San Fran Seals most assuredly aren't playing like a club that fight to finish in the Pacific Coast league cellar. The Lefty O'Doulmen bopped Hollywood last night to 6. It was the seventh win in the last nine starts for Francisco. This is the ball team that lost its first 13 game BP Lynx Collect Seventh Straight Tommy Slappey became the first pitcher to go all the way this year as the Buena Park Lynx recorded their seventh straight practice game victory last night with a 4-0 win over Montebello at Buena Park. In addition to limiting the visitors to three hits, Slappey also poled out two hits in two trips to pace the Lynx offensively. Ruby Moore struck the big blow, however, smashing a homer in the second inning with the bases empty.

Hollywood's following watching TV or listening radio accounts of the MacArthur celebration, for only 1556 show up to see Wally Hood, the ex-Trojan and ex-New York Yankees pitch his second Coast Levi victory in as many starts. It a rocky road for Hood. He w trouble in every inning and up 12 hits, but Hollywood's pitchers had nothing but not and lots of that.

All-America choice for the flag. Then they start to play for keeps. They stray away from friendly Fenway park. And Boston's blasting batters become brittle and its hurricane hurlers become harmless. The season's opener proved a total loss so far as Boston was concerned. Not only were the Red Sox horse-collared, but the city's National league representatives, the Braves, were goose-egged by Larry Jansen of the Giants but them out, 4-0 with five little because singles. Philadelphia's defending champion Phils down Brooklyn's Dodgers, 5-2, at Ebbets field. Robin Roberts, whose final-day triumph over the Brooks gave the Phils their first flag in 35 years last season, again thwarted the Dodgers. Bob Lemon, king of the 1950 pitchers, threw a brilliant two-hitter at the Tigers to pitch the Cleveland Indians to a 2-1 triumph in Detroit. Outfielder Al Zarilla blasted St. Louis Brown pitching for a home run, double and single to lead the White Sox to a 17-3 romp before 5660 at St. Louis. Murry Dickson pitched and batted the Pirates to a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Pittsburgh. The little right-hander walloped his first major league home run and contributed a single in another scoring rally. Wilson Thumps Colonists, 10-1 Long Beach Wilson gained revenge for an earlier loss to Anaheim when it walloped the Colonists 10-1 yesterday afternoon at La Palma park. Jack Hinz tossed a two-hitter at Anaheim as the Colonists were nicked for their tenth loss of the year against the single win over Wilson. Wilson, meanwhile, pounded Val Wiethorn and Dick Ramella for 12 safeties to pound out the victory.

CONE BROTHERS 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim Kirchman, Peralta Top HS Qualifiers for Loop Finals Anaheim, which was expected to score very little in the Sunset league track and field finals on Friday, will now probably score even less. Ten points less, to be exact. The loring off of Colonist points was actually accomplished yesterday, however, when sprinter Larry Kirchman was forced to forego the 100-yard dash in the preliminaries at Newport Harbor. Kirchman, who was just about a cinch pick in that event, had to pass up the century when meet officials scheduled the 100 and 440 as consecutive events. Since his specialty is the quarter, Kirchman had no choice but to withdraw from the 100. He still could probably have captured the 220, but Coach Sam Keith had not entered him in that event, feeling last week that the 100 and 400 were enough to keep him busy. As it turned out, it wasn't. Kirchman loafed to an easy win in the 440, and though he was shooting for the Sunset loop record, he had to be satisfied with a 52-second performance. Condition of the Newport track and weather, however, made this a glittering showing in the meet yesterday where no one was even close to any new mark. Orange's Clyde Wilson, defending CIF 440 champ, also won his finals yesterday, and he, too, was in the 440. He tried to stay on Wilson's pace, and though he faded at the end, he held on for a third behind Nerdrum. The Bees, who were picked to capture their division, showed overall power in yesterday's trials, and Keith said that everyone that he had expected to pick up points in the finals wound up qualifying. Aaron Peralta, the sprinting freshman, led the Colonists by romping to a twin victory in both the 100 and 220 and looked as though he should repeat in Friday's finals. And with Peralta and Bill Walker running the final legs on the relay, the Bees also look like the choice there. Walker, though a non-winner, also qualified for both of the sprints. Two others—Jim Ball and Rel Schmitt—also wound up as double qualifiers. Ball won his heat of the 120 low hurdles and was among the 120 low hurdles. Shadow's Comeback miles; 1:58 1/5 for 1% miles and 52 4/5 for 1% miles—all phenomenal times. Citation himself set a world mark for the mile at Golden Gate fields of 1:33 3/5. During his peak three-year-old campaign, Citation won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, the coveted triple Crown. Last year he repeatedly met floor, one of the great speed merchants of thoroughbred history, otherwise he easily would have passed the $1 million mark and retired to stud. Kirchman loafed to an easy win in the 440, and though he was shooting for the Sunset loop record, he had to be satisfied with a 52-second performance. Condition of the Newport track and weather, however, made this a glittering showing in the meet yesterday where no one was even close to any new mark. Orange's Clyde Wilson, defending CIF 440 champ, also won his heat of the quarter, but he was much less impressive, recording a time of 53.8. Wilson, too, was pressed by Newport's Bob Nerdum at the finish, while Kirchman again ran without any real competition, finishing far ahead of the rest of the field. Ira Webber was the only other varsity performer to qualify for the 100 and 220 and looked as though he should repeat in Friday's finals. And with Peralta and Bill Walker running the final legs on the relay, the Bees also look like the choice there. Walker, though a non-winner, also qualified for both of the sprints. Two others—Jim Ball and Rel Schmitt—also wound up as double qualifiers. Ball won his heat of the 120 low hurdles and was among the broad jump finalists, and Schmitt was in the broad jump and shot put group. Don Davis was the only other winner of the day yesterday, whipping home in 1:29 in the 660. The 1320 was the only Bee event not contested yesterday and the Colonists are expected to pick up points in that event on Friday.
