Big Innings Enough to Give Wins To Grace Lutheran and Merchants Last night in City park, Grace Lutheran on the basis of an eight run scoring spree in the first inning, coasted to a 9 to 3 victory over Cypress VFW in City League play. Two hits, two bases on balls, and four errors all paved the way for Grace Lutheran to ice the game and give starting pitcher Fluggeg and Art Altheide who came on in the fourth with a lead to work off. Fluggeg was the winning pitcher and Norm Bradbury was the loser. All told, Bradbury gave up but six hits to six different men. Fluggeg gave up all four of the Cypress hits, two of them by H. Locker. Art Altheide gave up none. Grace Lutheran—AB R M Michel, ss 4 2 1 Martens, 2b 4 1 1 Gelger, 1b 4 0 0 P. Altheide, cf 2 1 0 Johnson, rf 2 2 1 Eocallante, c 3 1 1 A.

He gave up a total of three hits and nine runs in the abreviated contest called at the end of four because of the time limit. Jim Slobodian relieved starter Frank Perez in the third with none away and put out the fire allowing four runs to come in, one of which was charged to him. Frank Perez was charged with four runs and gave up three hits, to be credited with the victory. Vuksonovich was the loser. The final score at the end of four innings was 9 to 5. In the top of the fifth before the game was called, the Merchants picked up six runs on two long home runs by Thompson and Slobodian, but to no avail.

Most important is the National Public Parks Junior Tennis tournament to be held in Arcadia, from August 8 to 12. Local players are already looking forward with keen interest to this event as it is only rarely that California is chosen as the site for a tennis tournament which carries a national title. Since Anaheim is a member of the national public parks system, the Anaheim Union High School district has been designated as a qualifying center, and winners from local matches will go directly to the national meet at Arcadia. In most sections of the country it will be necessary for players to qualify in local, district, and sectional matches in order to get into the nationals. Any boy or girl 18 years or under, who is a resident of the AUHS district may compete in the boys' singles and doubles matches, girls' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Mrs. Bob Williams of the tennis department will accept entries during the regular Saturday classes at the park. Matches will be played on June 9 and 10 with balls furnished by the recreation department so that there will be no fees of any kind and every junior will have an equal opportunity to compete. Local players over 18 who wish to qualify for the sectional matches in Santa Monica may qualify on the same dates. The national finals for seniors is being held in St. Louis, Missouri, in August. Local players also are planning to enter the Santa Ana Tennis Club Invitational Junior Tennis tournament to be held on the Santa Ana High school courts on June 2 and 3 and June 9. Entries for this tournament, which includes girls' singles under 18 and boys' singles under 15, close on Monday, May 28. There will be a consolation round in both events for those who lose in the first round of the championship flight with trophies for winners and runners-up in all events. Mary Flynn, Anaheim's promising young 15-year-old player, who recently went to the finals of the 15-year-old division for the California Catholic High school championships is considered as a real contender in the girls' singles. Further information on either of these tournaments can be obtained from Mrs. Williams at the park.

No matter what happens around the league tomorrow Anaheim can go no higher than tie for fourth place as a result their 2-7 record, while they drop into a tie for last place with the Oilers. No position is set up—yet. John Wallin's lads had a fairly easy time against the Panthers; the first round winning 5-1. Damnella went the route giving only three hits — all singles different innings. The Panthers downfall was their five error while the Colonists for one of few games this year played errlessly ball. The Panthers have won many league titles than all other teams in the Sunset league and seem like a cinch to repeat their dedication with an impressive league 15-3 record, but they haven't been able to break out in their games. Their top pitch Ted Herrera, tossed a four hit at Santa Ana in the first round while losing and then threw five hitter at the Colonists to lose on team errors. Last year his league record was 2-3.

Hurlers Pitch When Needed on Cardinal Team By The Associated Press. Marty Marion has eliminated the caste system on the St. Louis Cardinal staff. No relievers. No starters. Just 10 pitchers. Everybody works every day if needed. So far it has worked. In 32 games, Marion has used a total of 80 pitchers. Only 11 starters of his flu-stricken staff have gone the route. Still his Red Birds are perched in a second-place tie with Chicago, only 2½ games off the Brooklyn pace. Some managers spend 25 years in the business and never learn when to yank a pitcher. It's one of the tricks of the trade. Marion seems to have mastered it in his freshman year. In recent games Marion has had the Midas touch with pitchers. Take yesterday's 6-5 win over Boston, for example. Boston roughed up Howle Pollet for three runs in the second. The Braves were ready for more in the third when Roy Hartshire walked and Earl Torgelson doubled him to third with one out. But Marion had enough of Pollett. In came rookie Tom Poholsky, Saturday's starter, to smother the threat. St. Louis came back with four off Max Surkont to take a 4-3 lead in the fourth. Two more in the sixth chased Surkont. Poholsky rolled along, pitching shut out ball until the ninth. With one run in, and men on first and third, Marion yanked Poholsky and called on Ted Wilks. Wilks struck out Hatfield but gave up a run when Ninny Jones fumbled. Batteries for Buena Park were Alsup and McDaniel. The Buena Park Lynx will move into La Palma park Saturday to play a team from Canada. The game originally was scheduled for Friday night at Fullerton. Championship to Bob Richards The Rev. Bob Richards, the high flying person from La Verne college, broke his own personal decathlon scoring record as he captured the championship of the annual Muir meet yesterday with 7544 points. Second place went to Floyd Simmons with 7260, the first day leader. Richards vaulted 14 ft. 8 in., tossed the discus 111 ft. 3½ in., ran the high hurdles in 15.4, threw the javelin 184 ft. 9 in., and ran the 1500 meters in 5:08.2.

Sacs-Beavers Split Twin Bill Stars Beat LA By The Associated Press Sacramento still leads Portland one game in the Pacific Coast League pennant race today and the gent largely responsible is a year-old North Carolinian nam-Ralph Hodgin. Hodgin, who milks cows for a ring in the off season, made hay the plate for the front running last night. He slammed out free hits and drove in five runs, with the big blow coming in the 10th inning when he drilled two homer to finish the game. Sacramento won it, 7-4, after decumbing to Portland by 1-0 the first half of the double-header on the strength of a four performance by the Beavers' ching mainstay, Roy Helser. Wednesday produced other roos, too, notably; Darlo Lodigiani—his single in the 11th inning gave lowly San Francisco a 5-4 triumph overland. George Schmees—he lambasted two run homer in the eighth inning and supplied the Hollywood stars with a 6-4 conquest of Los Angeles. The defeat dropped the giels to fifth, behind Seattle.
