Chirique Takes Lead from Star HONOLULU (UP)—Tucker McClure's ketch Chirique crossed the Diamond head finish line at 9:46:54 p.m. last night and took the corrected-time lead in the 2,225-mile Los Angeles-Honolulu yacht race. Several other yachts in the handicap race were still in the running. The Chirique's total elapsed time was 11 days, 12 hours, 46 minutes, 54 seconds. But the ketch, from Balboa, Canal Zone, had a handicap of nearly three days. Her corrected time was eight days, 21 hours, 41 minutes and 48 seconds. Dick Rheem's schooner Morning Star of Los Angeles, crossed the finish line early yesterday morning with an elapsed time of 10 days, 16 hours, 44 minutes and 33 seconds. The Morning Star started from scratch. The Morning Star in 1949 set the actual-time record for the race: 10 days, 10 hours, 13 minutes nine and one-half seconds. She was pressing toward that mark Saturday when bad weather forced Rheem to shorten sail and slow down. Only three men over the age of 34 have won the USGA Open championship in 51 tries. Steve Williams, John Kohlenbeck Battle in Marathon Tennis Barry Ryan, who is favored to take one of the positions in the boy's round robin tennis tournament, staged by the Recreation department, returned from vacation, went into action and pushed Merle Meyer for number two spot that he had held all week with a 6-1 Barry also added a 6-1 win over Jimmy Dunton. In the girl's singles Karen Lenain ran her victories to ten, to take a one set lead over her closest rivals, Carol Swank and Jean Williams who have nine wins each. Karen defeated both Janice Evans and Virginia Lee in love sets, while Jean defeated Lee 6-1, and Swank took a love set from Mary Rasmussen. Anne Williams also took a 6-1 set from Mary. In the longest match of the tournament so far, Steve Williams battled John Kohlenberger to a 12-14 score before giving in. John's Brother, Don, defeated David Evans 6-1, Merle Meyer took a 6-1 set from Steve Williams, who retaliated with a 6-0 win over Winfred Glaskox, Gene Newkirk gained a hard victory over Ronnie Swank 8-6, and an easier one over Winfrad Glaskox, 6-2.

Jones Plans to Run Big Cy in Mickey Mantle Demoted from Yanks to Kansas DETROIT (UP) — Mickey Mantle, the most publicized rookie of 1951, is back in the minor leagues. The 19-year-old New York Yankee outfielder, who rocketed to fame on the strength of 403 batting mark and numerous home runs in spring training, was optioned to Kansas City yesterday. Mantle was sent down to the Yankees American Association farm club to make room for Art Schallock, little lefthander from Hollywood. Despite his demotion, Mantle is still regarded very highly by the Yankee bigwigs. So much so, that he is to be groomed to fill the shoes of Joe DiMaggio in center field when the great Yankee star is expected to end his glorious career next season. The New York management has instructed George Selkirk, Kansas City manager, to use Mantle in center field exclusively. The youngster had been playing right field with the Yankees. “Mantle still is going to be a great player,” said Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees. The decision to farm out Mantle for more experience was reached by general manager George Weiss and Stengel yesterday. Mantle, after a fast start, slumped badly at the plate. He was batting .260. Citation Still in GIL HODGES (right), of the Brooklyn Dodgers has hit 22 runs this season and is making a bid for Babe Ruth's re-60 in one season. Hodges was four games ahead of the Ru back in 1927, but he hasn't hit a homer in six days. Chico Sets Record as Sox Drop Two Dodgers Fall as Reds Win Two Ned Garver ... Bob Hooper ...

Jones Plans to Run Big Cy in Holly Park Final INGLEWOOD (UP) — Citation is the first million dollar winner in race history, but the big news today is that he isn't through. Beset by injuries through part of his career, looking like just a so-so horse earlier this season, big Cy hit the peak Saturday when he ran away from the field in the $100,000 Hollywood Gold Cup to win by four lengths. It boosted the six-year-old's lifetime earnings to $1,085,769. It was the biggest purse of his career, an even $100,000, which hollywood Park guarantees the winner of its biggest event. He also won the $100,000 Kentucky Derby as a three-year-old, but the winner's net was $91,870. Trainer Jimmy Jones, almost too happy to talk after the smashing triumph, managed to get this much out: "I guess I can probably say in all truth that this day has provided the greatest thrill of my life. He (meaning Citation) seems to be his old self again. We don't plan to retire him immediately as it would seem very foolish when he's at his present peak condition." Jones added that Citation may run in the Hollywood park windup next Saturday, the $50,000 sunset handicap, "and probably once in Chicago and then in the jockey club Gold Cup in New York." Irish Bob Murphy, the light-heavyweight boxer, received 12 citations for bravery in action during the war. He was in the Navy. "Mantle still is going to be a great player," said Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees. The decision to farm out Mantle for more experience was reached by general manager George Weiss and Stengel yesterday. Mantle, after a fast start, slumped badly at the plate. He was batting .260. Citation Still in Race for Money INGLEWOOD (UP) — Citation's victory in the $100,000 Gold Cup Saturday, and Bewitch's second, leaves the leading money winning horses of all time bracketed this way. Citation $1,085,760, Stymie $918,485, Armed $817,475, Assault $675,470, Whirlaway $561,161, On Trust $547,820, Ponder $541,275, Bewitch $462,b05, Gallorette $445,-535, Seabiscuit $437,730. Of the top ten, only four—Citation, On Trust, Ponder and Bewitch—are still racing. Of the four—Citation, Ponder and Bewitch belong to the Calumet farm built up by the late Warren Wright. Mal Runs Fast 800 Meters; Oxy Ace Triumphant TOKYO (UP)—Touring American track and field stars ran away with their first test against Japanese stars today, winning all but one of the five events. Mal Whitfield, formerly of Ohio State, set a new Japanese record for the 800-meter run, 1:52.8. Results included: 200-meter dash—1, W. B. McKibben, Los Angeles A. C.; 2, Robert Work, Los Angeles A. C. and Dick Maicco, New York Pioneer club (tie) 0:22.1. 400-meter relay — 1, U. S. (Thomas, Michigan State; McKibben, George Brown, Los Angeles A. C.; Work.) 44 seconds. Two triple plays were made recently in one day by home teams in Sally league competition. Chico Sets Record as Sox Drop Two Dodgers Fall as Reds Win Two Ned Garver ... Bob Hooper ... Sam Zoldak ... Marrero ... Murry Dickson—unsung pitching stars All fine pitchers, all fierce competitors, all strike the same misfortune—all toil for second division club There are many observers who rate Garver the pitcher in the American league. The 25-year-old right has won 12 games for the cellar-dwelling St. Louis Browns. Garver does not pick his spots, either seven of his dozen triumphs have been against the contenders. He whipped the league-leading Red Sox on five hits yesterday as the Browns held Boston to a split in their doubleheader. The Red Sox won the nightcap, 9-5, to widen their lead to two games over the Chicago White Sox who suffered two stunning upsets at the hands of the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-1 and 5-0. Hooper, 29-year-old righthander, mastered the White Sox for the third time this season, and Zoldak yielded only one hit as the seventh place Athletics twice humbled Paul Richards' crew. The only hit off Zoldak was a third-inning single by Chico Carrasquel, who was immediately picked off first. Sad Sam faced only 27 men. Hooper's home run in the top of the ninth, with two mates aboard gave Philadelphia its first-game win. Until then, he had been locked in a scoreless duel with Randy Gumpert. Ferris aFin, A's first baseman, suffered a broken bone in his foot and will be out about a month. New Mark Chicago's one bright spot was the fielding of Carrasquel. Chico set a league record for errorless chances at shortstop, 289, in 51 games. The old mark of 288 was held by New York's Phil Rizzuto. Marrero diminutive Cuban righthander, won his ninth game against only five losses for Washington as the sixth-place Senators split with Cleveland. After Marrero won the opener, 7-1, the Indians took the second behind Mike García, 7-2. Walcott probably will ring as sentimental choice crowd although Charles is heavily favored at bett3 to 1 odds. Walcott probably will ring as sentimental choice crowd although Charles is heavily favored at bett3 to 1 odds. Promoters are keeping fingers crossed for clean when the fight goes-on.

Marrero, diminutive Cuban righthander, won his ninth game against only five losses for Washington as the sixth-place Senators split with Cleveland. After Marrero won the opener, 7-4, the Indians took the second behind Mike Garcia, 7-2. Gli Coan of Washington collected five hits in the doubleheader to take over the league's batting lead with a .336 average. The split left the Indians 3½ games off the pace. The Yankees divided a pair in Detroit to move up within three-tenths of a percentage point of the second-place White Sox. After Fred Hutchinson had pitched the Tigers to a 5-3 victory, the Yankees eked out an 8-7 nightcap win. It took a nifty relief job by Allie Reynolds in the ninth to snap the Yanker's losing ways. Brooklyn's league leading Dodgers last a doubleheader for the second straight day as Cincinnati spanked them, 5-3 and 6-5. However, the Brook's lead was shaved only one game, to eight, as both the St. Louis Cards and New York Giants were held even in twin bills. Dickson, Pittsburgh's little righthander, held the Giant's hitless in four superb relief innings to register his 11th win as the last-place Pirates won, the first game, 7-6, in 12 innings. The Giants took the second game, 8-3, as Jim Hearn hurled his eighth victory, his fourth over the Pirates. Ewell Blackwell limited the Dodgers to seven hits in winning Legion Nine Rolls Over Norco 9-3; Fullerton Captures Area Semi Finals Scoring five runs in the second inning of the Saturday afternoon game at La Palma park against Norco’s American Legion, the local nine was never headed while in complete control of their 9-3 victory. Val Wiethorn started on the mound for the local Legion nine and set the first three batters down—two on strike outs. In the second frame the enemy went down, one-two-three—then in the third they finally got a run across the plate. Pat Roberts started off the big second inning by singling past the shortstop after Carl Hatfield had struck out. Duane Masterson singled into right scoring Roberts who had moved to second on a wild pitch. Dick Ramella drew a walk and was sacrificed down to second by Joe Clark. Masterson and Ramella scored when little Lupe Gonzales, who just joined the team, singled into center field. Wiethorn kept the inning moving by singling into right—scoring Gonzales who had stolen second. George Bishop got a scratch hit into right to score Wiethorn and give the local Legion nine five runs on five hits and a good running start in the game against Norco, the team Fullerton met in the district playoffs last week. Anaheim was scheduled to meet Lumbermen's of East Los Angeles, but the game was canceled when some of the Lumberjacks decided they didn't want to play. As a result the coach withdrew their entry from the Anaheim Invitational Tournament next month. Wiethorn was touched for only six hits and three runs all. Stars in Tough Fight for First; Fondy Goes Wild (By The Associated Press) The Seattle Sunday hex is broken and the Hollywood Stars stand poised today to plunge into a five game series that could turn the Pacific Coast league pennant fight into a coroner's case. The clubs don't collide until Thursday, but the battle already looms as the end of the line for which ever team comes out feet first, especially on the basis of what transpired Sunday. Hollywood gained two full games on the pacemaking Rainiers by winning twice from Portland, 4-3 and 9-2. It gave the Stars four in a row over the Beavers and combined with Seattle's first Sunday defeat at home this year, left them only two games off the pace. The Rainiers succumbed twice to San Francisco, 6-3 and 2-1. It broke a string of seven straight double header sweeps for Seattle.

Philadelphia's Phils whipped the Cards, 6-4, after St. Louis had won the opener, 7-4. Stan Musial paced St. Louis to its first-game win with his 17th and 18th homers. Title Fight in Pittsburgh with Walcott, Charles PITTSBURGH (P) — With a break in the weather there's a chance the attendance record for a Pittsburgh fight may be broken at Wednesday night's 15-round title scrap between heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles and ageless Jersey Joe Walcott. The fact that the 37-year-old Walcott has lost four previous heavyweight title bouts—two to Charles and two to Joe Louis—doesn't seem to have lessened interest at all. Walcott probably will enter the ring as sentimental choice of the crowd although Charles will be heavily favored at better than 3 to 1 odds. Promoters are keeping their fingers crossed for clear skies when the fight goes on. "We're not trying to get overly optimistic but there's good chance we may get nearly 30,000 people," said promoter Jack McGinley. ning start in the game against Norco, the team Fullerton met in the district playoffs last week. Anaheim was scheduled to meet Lumbermen's of East Los Angeles, but the game was canceled when some of the Lumberjacks decided they didn't want to play. As a result the coach withdrew their entry from the Anaheim Invitational Tournament next month. Wiethorn was touched for only seven hits and three runs—all earned while he struck out nine and walked four. He scored two of the team's nine tallies. Big stickers on the squad were Pat Roberts who got three hits in four trips to the plate to boost his season average to .397. George Bishop got two for three—one a double which was good enough to move his average up to .316. Gonzales, donning a uniform for the first time since his playing days at Wilshire Elementary School in Fullerton this past season, struck out the first time up, but then smashed out three straight singles, drew a walk, stole two bases and scored two runs to spark the Anaheim attack and serve as a major cog in a well-oiled infield at his second base position. Fullerton won the Fifth Area semi finals over the week end by defeating Upland in Ontario Saturday by the score 16-1 then Sunday at La Palma Park came from behind in the final two innings to win 7-5. Fullerton will now meet San Diego for the Fifth Area finals Saturday in San Diego and Sunday here in Arraheim.

First baseman Dee Fondy, no ball of fire with the Chicago Cubs, won an 11-inning game practically by himself as Los Angeles whipped Portland, 8-7. Fondy, traded off by the Cubs for popular Chuck Conners, got six hits in six times at bat, three of them home runs. His final round tripper won the game with two out in the l1th. Fondy drove in four runs, boosted his batting average to .510 for 14 games, and dispelled all Angel anguish over losing Conors. On top of all this, Bill Moisan followed up in the nightcap with a two-hit, 2-0 shutout to give the Seraphs a clean sweep. Earl Harrist turned in another fine pitching stint for the Oakland Acorns, who split with San Diego. Harrist gave up only three hits in beating the Padres, -4-1, in the second game. San Diego took the opener, -3-1, on a pair of home runs by Jack Graham. Big Johnny Lindell was the hero for Hollywood. He not only pitched nine hit ball in the second game, but also contributed a two run homer. This is an odd week on the schedule.
