Bill Ayers Goes After 11th Decision In Coast League as Acorns Play Stars By The Associated Press The hardest working fighter in the Pacific Coast league will see action tonight for the 12th time this season. He is William O. Ayers, Esq., and he works for the Oakland Acorns. But the Southerner—he comes from Georgia — is rugged and can take plenty of action. He is six feet three and scales 205 pounds. Big Bill has won five and lost the same number. And he'll face Hollywood's little Vic Lombardi (1-3) tonight as the Stars host their abbreviated series at Gilmore field. The Stars are somewhat battered after a road trip into the Pacific Northwest. They froze in Seattle, winning one and dropping a pair to the Rainiers. They were rained out of their first two encounters with Portland and then blew a double feature with the Beavers last Sunday. Thus the Stars have some recuperating to do. However, in four games against Oakland, the Hollywood club has taken only one. In Sixth The Stars currently are tied with San Diego in sixth place in the standings. Six games back of front-running Portland, Oakland and Sacramento are knotted in second place, three and a half games back of Portland. The Beavers open at Seattle, using Red Adams (4-2) against the Rainiers' Steve Nagy (10) or Art Del Luca, who has yet to win on less than one pitch. White Sox Top AL Team Hitters CHICAGO (A)—The rejuvenated Chicago White Sox, with a robust .319 team batting average, dominate the American league hit parade today with four players among the loop's top five hitters. Heading the list is 23-year-old Jim Busby, the only rookie among the 11 leaders. Bustling Busby, who notched .310 for Sacramento last year, is clicking at .462 with 18 hits in 39 trips to the plate in 10 games. Veteran Eddie Robinson of the Palehose is second with .448, with teammate Nelson Fox fourth with .40 and Chico Carrasquel fifth with .391. Third place is held by Cleveland's Luke Easter, now on the injury list, with .423. Jackie Robinson is off and running in the National league race with a .396 for the first 12 games. In 12 games he's been stopped only once. That was by New York's Sal Maglie, April 22. He also leads the league in runs batted in, 13, and hits, 19. Bob Elliott, Boston's power hitting third baseman is second in hitting with .381. Harry (Peanuts) Lowrey, the St. Louis Centerfielder, is third at .364. Joe Adcock, a promising rookie at Cincinnati last summer, is tied for fourth place with Boston's Buddy Kerr at .360. Figuring to be a much meet than last year's route Southern California Junior Legge Swimming champions, he be held at Long Beach, Friday and Saturday nights. Last year Fullerton JCpletely swam away with all orors, but with Bakersfield, Monica and John Muir all playing power-houses—the final will be much closer. The H will be shooting for their Southern California title last 14 years of competition. Defending Champ There will be only one ringing defending champ—Fullerton Roy Brown, the same Brownholds no less than six nails records all by himself.

The Beavers open at Seattle, using Red Adams (4-2) against the Rainiers' Steve Nagy (10) or Art Del Luca, who has yet to win or lose this season. The Rainiers and Beavers have played four games this season and the Seattle club has won them all. The San Francisco Seals entertain the Los Angeles Angels, not as royally, Lefty O'Doul hopes as his lads did in their last series. The Angels swept four games. The Angels will work Fred Baczewski (3-1) against Wally Hood York's Sal Maglie, April 22. He also leads the league in runs batted in, 13, and hits, 19. Bob Elliott, Boston's power hitting third baseman is second in hitting with 381. Harry (Peanuts) Lowrey, the St. Louis Centerfielder, is third at 364.

Edulpha drake, UCLA guard, was last night as the Bruins' back player-of-the-year by the dale Bruin club. By The Associated Press the biggest trade of the season at the end of the New York Giants' victory drought put a complexion to the major league baseball races today as cern and western teams came grips for the first time. The Giants ended a crushing 11le losing streak last night by sing their arch rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8-5, before a city throng of 33,962 at Ebbfield. It was the only game the majors. There was no hooting or back ping in the Giant clubhouse or the victory. "It's been a long spell," manager Leo Durocher with a wry smile. But the Giants have a long to go before they can live up their winter book rating as giant contenders. They are in place with three victories and defeats, nine games off the mark. Durocher's athletes return to Polo grounds tonight where open a 10-game stand against lightly regarded western clubs, Mango, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Innati. Last night the Giants went to early, scoring all of their in the first two innings just Chris Van Cuyk, Earl Oror and Joe Hatten. Maglie started for the Giants lingered until the sixth when Jon Jones came on to stamp rally. The Dodgers outhit Giants, 10-8. Three of the blows were home runs George Hermanski, Jackie Roband Duke Snider. A biggest trade of the year was engineered by Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia of the American League and it involved seven players. Cleveland considerably strengthened its pennant outlook by acquiring lefthander Lou Brissie from the A.'s. The Indians have been seeking a starting lefthander for a long time to go along with their big four of Bob Lemon, Bob Feller, Early Wynn and Mike Garcia, all righthanders. The three-cornered deal sent catcher Ray Murray, pitcher Sam Zoldak and outfielders Gus Zernial and Dave Philley to the Athletics, outfielder Paul Lehner and infielder-outfielder Orestes Minoso to Chicago and Brissie to Cleveland. Brissie, who had a disappointing season last year for the A's after two excellent years expressed disappointment, declaring: I know I've been bush so far, but I never thought Jim (Dykes) would do that." The Yanks open their first tour of the west in Chicago today with Vic Raschi (2-1) going against Yankee killer Bob Cain (0-1). Other pairings are Philadelphia (Schelb 0-1) at Detroit (Trout 0-1), Boston (Wight 0-2) at Cleveland (Feller 2-0) and Washington (Haynes 0-0) at St. Louis (Johnson 0-0 or Overmire 0-0).

GLENDALE (P)—Eddie Shellrake, UCLA guard, was honored last night as the Bruins' basketball player-of-the-year by the Glendale Bruin club. CCNY Abandons Big Time Ball NEW YORK (P)—City college of New York, its great Cinderella team already shattered by the broad game-fixing scandal, saw the door slam today on bigtime basketball. The New York Board of Higher Education ruled that CCNY, along with other municipal colleges, won't be permitted to play in Madison Square Garden or "any other commercially operated establishments." This had the immediate effect of reducing the Beavers, the only team ever to win the two big national tournaments in a single season, to a secondary status. "If we can't play in the large arenas we can't play a bigtime schedule," said Coach Nat Holman, the onetime Celtic star. "Our gym seats only about 1100. We couldn't make intersectional games attractive or profitable for visitors." The ban on Garden games was announced yesterday after a special session of the board and it followed by a few hours the indictment of 12 former basketball players involved in the betting scandal, including four stars of CCNY's brilliant sophomore championship team of 1949-50. USC Tracksters Beat Stanford PALO ALTO (P)—University of Southern California tracksters surprised no one, including their opponents, yesterday by overwhelming Stanford university 81% to 49%. The heavily favored national collegiate champions won 10 events in a meet marred by winds and cold temperature that did much to prevent any records being threatened. Stanford narrowly missed scoring over 50 points when USC's Carle Sorge hit the finish line one foot ahead of Stanford's Bill Storum in the mile relay. The event, final of the day, was played in the twilight. Willbur Taylor of Stanford was the only double winner. He scored upset wins over USC's Al Mejia in both the 100 and 220 sprints in 9.9 and 22.1. The Trojans' distance man, Pim Newcomba, captured the two-mile run in 9:39.2. Olympic decathlon champion Bob Mathias won the discus for the Indians with a heave of 159 feet, 2 inches. He also placed third in the shot put and low hurdles. Sophomore Parry O'Brien tossed the shot 54 feet, 16¼ inches to win that event for the Trojans. TING SALESMAN a salesman who rance . . short or lacking in any site to sell your customers.
