Hornets Favored In Eastern Loop Swimming Finals It's the week of the finals for some Fullerton Hornets, but they're not worrying about flunking any exams for it's the Eastern Conference swimming finals and the Hornets are strong favorites to cop their fifth conference title in five years of competition. Head swimming coach Jimmy Smith has only four returns Seals Going to Be Tough? This Week May Tell By The Associated Press Pacific Coast League fans get a chance this week to see just how stern is the stuff of which the San Francisco Seals are made. Lefty O'Doul and his associates still hold exclusive title to the PCL storm cellar. But they have won 10 of their last 14 games. Dodger Move Sweep Giants Gag Durocher By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports WEEK You couldn't blame Leo Lip) Durocher for talking to self today. The wonder is the loquacious leader of the New Giants has any speech left all. To say that Durocher can second best in the much hooled battle of wits with C Dressen, his former first tenant at Brooklyn, is put mildly. The new Dodger pilots maneuvered and outgeneraled at every turn over the weekend the Brooks vanquished their rivals three straight at the Grounds. The final crushing blow—the most humiliating—came terday when the Dodgers snared a thrilling victory from parent certain defeat to while Giants 4-3, in 10 innings. The triumph left the Dod in first place in the National League a half-game in front Pittsburgh and the Chicago Pirates defeated the Red Cincinnati, 7-5, and the Cubs ped the Cards, 10-5 in St. Louis Philadelphia's Phils salvaged last of a three game series in Boston, winning an uphill 6-7 victory. Cleveland forged into American league lead sweep Swimming Finals It's the week of the finals for some Fullerton Hornets, but they're not worrying about flunking any exams for it's the Eastern Conference Swimming finals and the Hornets are strong favorites to cop their fifth conference title in five years of competition. Head swimming coach Jimmy Smith has only four returns from last year's national championship team, but he doesn't seem worried one bit. Hornet king Smith went out and rounded up a swarm of outstanding prep fish and has certainly come up with another high powered swim squad. Last year Redlands High school captured the CIF swimming title in the finals at Beverly Hills with only six swimmers. Smith corralled two of 'em. Bob Best, in the CIF finals set a new CIF record in the 100 yard breast stroke in the time 1m.05.9s; was a member of the winning medley relay which set a CIF record and placed fourth in the individual medley. He was recently elected captain of the 1951 Hornet team and was starting in right where he left off last season in speedy fashion until he broke his hand competing in the California swim meet at Berkeley. His team mate of the Terriers, Phil Slersen, has proven to be a top competitor in the freestyle events this year. Last year in the CIF finals Sierson placed second to his teammate in the 50 yard sprint; second in the 200 yard freestyle and was a member of the winning 4-man relay which set a new CIF record. This year he has competed mostly in the 100-yard freestyle. Recently he was timed in 54.7s which is better than the conference record. Top Furlong Swimmers Other members of the Hornet squad are Bernie Wagner, backstroke from Illinois. He recently set a new JC record in the 200 yard backstroke. Joe Phillips has been the standout in the middle distance races. At the start of the season he was swimming the 220-yard freestyle in 2m.20s. Now he is hitting close to 2m.15s, which comes within three seconds of the national record and easily makes him the top furlong swim. Week May Tell By The Associated Press Pacific Coast League fans get a chance this week to see just how stern is the stuff of which the San Francisco Seals are made. Lefty O'Doul and his associates still hold exclusive title to the PCL storm cellar. But they have won 10 of their last 14 games, chalking up the latest two wins yesterday (Sunday) at the expense of usually tough Oakland. The scores: 13-5 and 6-3. The Acorns dropped from fourth to sixth in the standings. Tomorrow O'Doul's crowd locks horns with the Portland Beavers, current front-runners in the pennant chase. The Beavers were playing like the class of the circuit—until they slammed into their neighbors from Seattle. The Rainers, in seventh place —right atop the Seals—proceeded to blank Portland in a four-game series. Their Sunday scores were 4-3 and 9-0. The Seals, who dropped their 13 first games without a win, are beginning to show power at the plate. In yesterday's opener they pushed across eight runs in the first two innings. Then Seal Bill McCawley rapped a three-run homer in the seventh. The nightcap featured the relief pitching of Wally Hood, former University of Southern California star. He retired the Acorns in order the last three frames after forcing Augie Galan to hit into a double play. Seattle made the Beavers look sad. Al Lyons, yielding one hit in the seven-inning finale, hadn't a game in three years. The Rainiers pressed him into service when Charley Schanz turned up with a sore arm. The Rainiers won he opener with a three-run rally in the ninth. San Diego vaulted from a tie for fifth to second place by sweeping a double feature from Sacramento, 5-2 and 2-1. Padre Catcher Frank Kerr's bat accounted for three runs on his two homers in the opener and drove in the winning counter in the finale. Incidentally, the Padres released The triumph left the Dodgers in first place in the National League a half-game in front Pittsburgh and the Chicago Bulls. The Pirates defeated the Red Sox Cincinnati, 7-5, and the Cubs peded the Cardus, 10-5 in St. Louis Philadelphia's Phils salvaged last of a three game series to Boston, winning an uphill 6-5 victory. Cleveland forged into American league lead, sweep home doubleheader from the Louis Browns, 10-3 and 4-3. Indians now have won five six to hold a half-game edge Washington and the Chicago White Sox. Rain washed out scheduled game between the Celtics and New York Yankees; the White Sox edged the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, in Chicago. Boston's Red Sox pulled out a .500 rating winning two games from the Philadelphia Athletic 6-5 and 7-4, at Fenway Park. They now have won three and as many. Here is how Dressen stole show from Durocher in the department most revered by Leo Sensational, the extravagant, spectacular, the unpredictable theatrical: In the seventh inning on day, with Brooklyn leading Durocher, sent Artie Wilson lefthanded hitter, to pinch-Dressen indicated disdain for Lip's selection by shifting to left of his infielders to the left of second base, and pulling his right fielder, Furillo, to second. That left right field open, unprotected. The 30 witnesses could hardly believe. All Wilson had to do was throw the ball to right field and it probably would have been a hit run. Right field in the Grounds roams 450 feet to bullpen. But Wilson the Sooner paw, who is a notorious opposing field hitter, tapped meckly to the box and was an easy Wilson had played under Dressen boiled. On Saturday Dressen scored two pinch hitters against L.Janssen in the seventh and last walked, forcing in the tying game After the Dodgers routed Janet in the eighth, Dressen stole... of the womens' division, MarBlair of Lido Isle, defeated by Rockman of Costa Mesa 38 to gain the Orange county for the coming year.

Joe Phillips has been the standout in the middle distance races. At the start of the season he was swimming the 220-yard freestyle in 2m.20s. Now he is hitting close to 2m.15s. which comes within three seconds of the national record and easily makes him the top furlong swimmer in JC ranks this year. Somersaulting, twisting, going into all kinds of contortions through the air are two top-notch divers—Bill Patrick from Canada and Jack Williamson from Mark Keppel in Alhambra. Patrick doubles in the 50-yard freestyle on occasions. Leading the sophomore attack is the ex-Chicago speedster, Roy Brown. Brown holds no less than six national records and rates with Coach Smith as his best swimmer ever coached. Brown set two conference records last year in Mt. San Antonio's 33½-yard pool and is a cinch to break both marks at the finals in Anaheim's 25 yard pool Thursday evening at 8 p.m. DOIN' WHAT COMES NATURALLY FORT WORTH, Tex., UD—The smallest basketball player in the Southwest Conference this season, TCU's Johnny Taylor, comes by his court skill most naturally. His mother knew a thing or two about the dribble and shoot business. As Rose Mendel of Houston, Mrs. Taylor played several sea-named AAU all-state two straight sons with the Admiration team in Gulf Coast circles. She was years. The Rainiers won he opener with a three-run rally in the ninth. San Diego vaulted from a tie for fifth to second place by sweeping a double feature from Sacramento, 5-2 and 2-1. Padre Catcher Frank Kerr's bat accounted for three runs on his two homers in the opener and drove in the winning counter in the finale. Incidentally, the Padres released-catcher Dee Moore, age 37. He came to the Padres from Sacramento two seasons ago, and hit .281 last year. Tomorrow San Diego moves to Los Angeles. The Angels split a twin bill with Hollywood, the Stars taking the first one, 6-1 and bowing in the second game 4-6. Jack Salveson, tapped for six hits, hurled the Stars to their win. Chuck Connors broke a 4-4 tie in the seventh and final inning of the nightcap with a two-ply homer to turn the trick for the Los Angeles club. The fattest turnout of the season, 15,834 saw the Stars and Angels tangle.

Heading the list of newly imported features for this season of the Clyde Beatty circus coming to Anaheim, Wednesday, April 23, for afternoon and night perforances at the southwest corner of La Palma and Palm are Mexico's foremost daughters of the circus ring. They are the four beautiful and talented Caudillo Sisters who hall from Mexico City. They are whirlwind acrobats and equilibriists and are as versatile as they are pretty.

Their display is just one of many outstanding features in this years talented program. Heading the list of course is the owner and daring trainer of beasts the world has ever known.

Santa Ana Track and Field Team Again Takes Sunset League Honors Santa Ana's High School track and field squad was again Sunset League Champ—a position they held for six of the last eight years. The Saints, coached by "Pinky" Greene, pulled an upset in the first event of the afternoon and from then on were unstoppable in their fight to end Newport's two year reign as league champs. Point totals—Santa Ana 60%, Newport Harbor 54%, Huntington Beach 32, Fullerton 23%, Orange 12 and Anaheim 6. Four Sunset league records were broken on the Sailors windy track yesterday afternoon. Larry Kirchman of Anaheim, led defending league and CIF champ Clyde Watson of Orange, at the 220 by two yards then pulled away to win the 440 yard dash by 12 yards in 50.0s to break Wilson's year old 51.2s. mark. Bob Suess, Oiler halfmiler, was 20 yards out in front at the quartermark and when second place Bob McCracken of Fullerton finished, Suess was on the bus headed back home. His time was 2m.00.9s, breaking Jim Gains' 1949 mark of 2m.14.2s. Jack Clark, Oilier miler, led two yards at the end of two laps; ten yards at the 1320 mark and finished with a margin of 20 yards over Fullerton runner Fred Snyder in a 4m.46.2s mile run breaking Leonard Thornton's 1949 mark of 4m.48.5s.
