Rams Crush Redskins in 58-14 Avalanche Before Huge Throng Tamales Defeat Magnolia Stars Alex Tamale held on to second place last night by defeating Magnolia Stars 5 to 4. In the only game played as Joe's Service forfeited to the Merchants a half a game in first, ahead of Tamale. Although the Stars outhit the Tamale's, they could not outscore them, as Alex combined hits and errors to win. In the first inning, Alex scored two runs on an error by the second baseman, single by Willie Morales and an error by the centerfielder. Magnolia tied the score in the bottom of the first with two runs on a single by Henry Castillo, and a home run by John Jaques. In the fourth, they scored two runs on a double by Tony Jaques, single by Raul Moran and a single by Tony Rivera. In the top of the fifth, Tamale soced three runs on a single by Bob Morales, double by Willie Morales and a single by Bill Metcalf and two errors. Alex Tamale— AB R H R. Morales, cf 1 0 B.

The way the Rams ran and passed the Skins into submission gave a large idea of what may follow when the real shooting starts in the loop this fall. The game, again staged by the Los Angeles Times charities saw Coach Joe Stydhar's Rams led by quarterbacks Bob Watrfield, Norm Van Brocklin and rookie Joe Zaleski, trounce the Redskins. The Rams, for years weak at the running game, might come up this year with a running attack to match their aerial fireworks. Harry Gilmer played the vital quarterback role for Washington except when the old pro, Sammy Baugh, stepped in for the third quarter. Gilmer connected with two touchdown strikes, one worth 51 yards to Bones Taylor, the other for 35 to Eddie Saenz. But otherwise, the Redskins were powerless to score or to stop the Rams scoring. Right end Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hirsch was the high scorer. He caught three touchdown throws, running at full speed on each for 53, 49 and 48 yards. The running touchdowns came from Tank Younger at 49 yards; Cricket Kalmanir for 46 yards; and V. T. Smith for 23 yards. The statistics tell the story. The Rams gained 394 yards via air.

The Redskins traveled 216 yards passing and 205 yards rushing. Washington generally fields a strong line. The offensive Ram line kept the 'Skins on their heels. The Ram defensive boys need tightening, what with an all-rookie array at tackle, but Stydahar is working on this problem. Jack Benny wowed em at the half time.

Powder Puff Pilots Are off to Detroit PHOENIX (P)-El Paso, Tex., Blythe, Calif., and Phoenix and Tucson in Arizona were the take-off points this morning in the second lap of the Powder Puff derby from Santa Ana, Calif., to Detroit. Forty-four planes, all piloted by women, are in the chase to the motor city which has become the skyway capital for the National Air races. Several have alternate pilots, some 80 feminine fliers, in all, competing. With miles separating the contestants this morning, there were 20 planes quartered overnight at Tuscon, 16 in Phoenix, six at Blythe and two at El Paso. Tonight's schedule stop is Dallas, Tex., but some may exceed that point and others may not reach there 30 minutes after sundown which is embraced in the rules of the derby. Elapsed time and handicaps figured from manufacturers' advertised cruising speed of the planes will determine the winners on computations at Detroit Thus... HURRY! HURRY!

Whether it will be Rocky Marciano or Ezzard Charles next on his hit parade, the Brown Bomber will come in as close as he can get to 208 pounds. He blamed last night's weight of 203%, lowest for him in 10 years, for a disappointing although unanimous 10-round victory over Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland. "I didn't improve none tonight," he said disgustedly. He was downhearted mostly at his failure to drop Bivins in the last round, when he hit the 180% pounder with everything he had. Bivins was still hanging, on to him at the end. The last minute flurry was the most savage of the fight, which otherwise followed a dull pattern. Louis jabbed and jabbed and Bivins ran and held on. The crowd of 18,215 which paid $75,217 pleaded time and again "Joe, open him up." But Louis was able to get only half a dozen telling blows from that once-feared right hand and never could follow through. Why? Because the second round of the young Eddie putted Jones swinging Caldwell and Eddie hit his tee and plenty far enough. For 19 holes, Jamie Belleville, N. J., carving champion in match of the 1951 junior couldn't keep up with longer-not with the Miss., kid playing his finest golf of his career. On the 20th hole he a scrambling three lanes. To get the three Miles the "greatest golf shot and then ran down a foot putt. The "greatest shot wedge out of high rough under overhanging tilt within eight feet of it.

A Memorial Day for Immortal Babe Ruth NEW YORK CP—Baseball has not forgotten the man who came to its rescue in its darkest days. So today, to keep the memory of the immortal Babe Ruth forever green, the foundation bearing his name is observing a memorial day throughout the nation. Governors of 15 or more states have issued official proclamations designating today as "let's go to bat for the Babe" day. Play in all Major League parks will pause for a moment of silence to honor the greatest home run slugger of them all. A two and a half hour television program and a nationwide radio broadcast will be devoted to the observance of Babe Ruth memorial day.

Louis jabbed and jabbed and Bivins ran and held on. The crowd of 18,215 which paid $75,217 pleaded time and again "Joe, open him up." But Louis was able to get only half a dozen telling blows from that once-feared right hand and never could follow through. "I was just too light to get that right hand over," explained Louis later. "No question about it, I was five pounds too light." Bivins puffed up Louis' left eye early in the fight but, with his spasmodic hit and run tactics, took little advantage of it. The only other mark on either fighter was a slight cut over the left eye of Bivins. After it was all over, Louis thought Bivins was the best fighter of his eight comeback partners. But he agreed it wasn't his best fight. The 31-year-old Bivins put his finger on the affair when he said Louis was in better physical condition than three years ago when they fought an exhibition "but not as sharp." Several times during the fight when he shook up Bivins or had him trapped on the ropes the Brown-Bomber failed to release the old stabilizer. At times, even Bivins looked surprised the lighting didn't strike. The referee called it seven and three after taking the 10th round from Louis for hitting low and the two judges agreed it was 6-3 with one even. The question of number nine fight is being discussed. Jim Norris, president of the International Boxing club, is talking to manager Marshal Miles about Louis meeting Rocky Marciano in the Polo Grounds on Oct. 10. Marciano, although undefeated, popped rather suddenly into the heavyweight picture July 12 by cold-storing Rex Layne. The percentage Louis wants is the stumbling block. He got 42½ per cent last night and wants about the same with Marciano. If this can't be straightened out, Norris may talk about Louis and Charles in Miami during the win at the "greatest shot," wedge out of high court under overhanging tilt within eight feet of it.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim Ph. 4012 ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST PONTIAC DEALER Mary Flynn Gets into Second Round of Junior Singles Events Merrins Climbs in National Jr. Golf DURHAM, N. C. (UP)—Eddie Merrins is supposed to swing a sissy driver and be an uncertain putter but he still is the boy to beat in the Junior Chamber of Commerce's national junior golf tournament. Why? Because yesterday in the second round of match play, young Eddie putted like Bobby Jones swinging Calamity Jane, and Eddie hit his tee shots true and plenty far enough. For 19 holes, James Depiro of Belleville, N. J., carried the defending champion in the best match of the 1951 junior. But he couldn't keep up with Eddie any longer—not with the Meridian, Miss., kid playing some of the finest golf of his career. On the 20th hole Merrins took a scrambling three to win 1-up. To get the three Merrins made the "greatest golf shot of my life," and then ran down a rugged eight foot pit. The "greatest shot" was a full wedge out of high rough and from under overhanging tree limbs to within eight feet of the pin. In other tournaments Merrins' inconsistent putting and short drives have cost him matches and titles. He lost in the finals of the Southern amateur in July because of weak putting. Hanging just behind 19-year-old Eddie in the ranks of favorites Mary Flynn was the only one of Anaheim's junior players to get into the second round as play in the junior singles events get under way on the Santa Ana High School tennis courts in the 16th Annual Santa Ana Open Tennis Championships being staged from August 15 to August 19. Mary defeated Annette Ridley of Arcadia 6-1, 6-3, to go into the second round where she was scheduled to face second seeded Martha Hoke of San Diego, who was a finalist in both the mixed doubles and the girls doubles in the National Junior Public Parks Championships played last week in Arcadia. Karen Lenain, who got off to a slow start in her match in the girls' 15 year old and under division, lost 6-3, 7-5; when she was unable to pull out of an early lead built up by her opponent, Eleanor Cook of Pasadena, although Karen's game improved greatly in the second set. All other Anaheim players in this division lost by very decisive scores against more experienced players. Pat Santl was defeated by Diane Franks of Monrovia 6-2, 6-1, Anne Williams lost to Helen Shoedy of Porterville 6-0, 6-1, and Jean Williams was completely blanked by Louise Leffler of San Marino. Joanne Kellogg playing in the junior girls' event for those 18 and under lost to fourth seeded Dolores Michelena of Pasadena 6-2, 6-0. The boys' 18 and under division saw the defeat of Ronnie George H. Allen Appointed Head Whittier College WHITTIER — George H. Allen, head football coach at Morningside college in Sioux City, Iowa, has been appointed head football and baseball mentor at Whittier college. It was announced by President Paul S. Smith. Allen, a junior varsity and assistant varsity coach at the University of Michigan under Fritz Crisler and Bennie Oosterbaan in 1946 and 1947, replaces Wallace J. "Chief" Newman, who resigned recently after serving 22 years at Whittier college. The new coach comes to Whittier after three successful seasons at Morningside, starting in 1948. Under his tutelage, the Iowa college had its best football record in 26 years... In 1949 and 1950 his elevens won 15 and lost five games. Two Little All-American players were developed by Allen in his three seasons there. He faces an eight-game schedule at Whittier this fall, starting Sept. 29, with a home opener against San Francisco State college. He will issue a call for football candidates shortly after arriving on the Whittier campus and will start practice sessions about Sept. 10. Allen holds the bachelor of science and master of science degrees from the University of Michigan.

Hanging just behind 19-year-old Eddie in the ranks of favorites as this morning's third round opened were Toomy Morrow and medalist Teddy White. Morrow, like Eddie, is a member of the Louisiana State university golf team and since they're in opposite brackets, an all-L.S.U. final is a possibility. Morrow's home is Shreveport, La. White lives in Roswell, N.M. White dropped Lewis Harris, Laurel, Va., 4-2 out of the tournament on the 6,660-yard Hope Valley course late yesterday. Morrow gave Dick Baker, Tacoma, Wash., a 7-5 belting in the other big match. First round match results included: John Tate, Long Beach, Calif., defeated Mickey Canon, San Angelo, Tex., 5 and 3. Jimmy Branch, Long Beach, Calif., defeated Ray Barnes, Fayetteville, Ark., 3 and 1. Jim Deemer, Blacksburg, Va., defeated Ronnie Hughes, Los Angeles, 1 up.
