Slated to provide a ceaseless irritation to the local hoopsters tomorrow night in the Anaheim gym is ace forward from Newport Harbor high, Armand Nettles. Nettles, who was selected on the all-CIF second team last year as well as the Sunset league first team, is going all out to retain his Sunset league scoring title which he won last year by edging out Santa Ana's forward, Rex Babcock. The Sailor ace was held scoreless last week by the Saints and didn't see much action against Anaheim in the Huntington Beach tourney due to an excess of fouls incurred. But he will be going all out to rack up a large point total tomorrow night and get back in the point-making groove. In the Oilers tourney, where Anaheim edged Newport 12-11 for the third place trophy, Nettles picked up two fouls in the first period one in the second and two in the third which removed him from the game and thus result, he could only find enough time to score six points. Nettles isn't what a person would call a flashy basketball player, but a player that is a specialist in the set shot from far out. He hardly ever works from near the basket, but way out near the side lines where he stands and dumps the ball through the hoop with periodical misses. Standing over six feet, Nettles battle. If Newport Harbor wins tomorrow night, they will battle Huntington, who is also undefended in league competition, for the sole position of first place after the first round of battle. Too, if Newport Harbor drops their contest to the locals, which seems very remote, they could still tie with the Oilers for the first place position heading into the second round of battle. Pacific Coast Loop Due To Have Series With Japan, Mexico LOS ANGELES (P)—The Pacific Coast League may be a few years away from another league status, but its pennant winner this year probably will play the first international series against the champion teams of Japan and Mexico. Leille O'Connor, Chicago attorney and counsellor for the league has been selected to arrange for the Japan series. Both Mexico and Japan have extended invitations. Bill Starr of San Diego will handle the arrangements for the Mexico series. The arrangements for the PCL-Japan-Mexico series were approved yesterday at the annual meeting of the directors, who took another step in divorcing their circuit from all affiliations. Nettles isn't what a person would call a flashy basketball player, but a player that is a specialist in the set shot from far out. He hardly ever works from near the basket, but way out near the side lines where he stands and dumps the ball through the hoop with periodical misses. Standing over six feet, Nettles is a top rebounder for the Tars, but with two other giants on the team—Jim Mendon and Lee Jayred—the Sailors employ Nettles to just shoot, for the most part. The game will be the first home game for the local league competition, but after dropping their last four, the game should take on the victory of a hard-fought Al Severance head basketball coach at Villanova, graduated from that institution in 1920 as valedictorian.

San Diego Open Underway Today, But Trouble Arises with Spiller SAN DIEGO (AP)—The San Diego golf tournament gets underway today for what may or may not be a precedent-setting event. Included in the field of 132 players is former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis, who awaited tee off time as the first Negro ever to compete in a tournament co-staged by the Professional Golfers Association of America. Louis' followers hailed his entry as the first step in a long fight by Negros to compete in PGA tournaments. They likened it to the case of Jackie Robinson as the first Negro to crash into organized baseball. PGA President Horton Smith described Louis' participation as more automatic in that he was invited to compete by the co-sponsors, a group of San Diego Chevrolet dealers. Louis was one of 10 players invited, and exempt from qualifying by the dealers' group. "Most of the nation's big name golfers are here, ready for the 72-hole contest at the par 72 San Diego Country Club." Overshadowing them, at least for today's opening, was Louis and the racial angle. Spiller 'Declared Out' Leonard Reed, Louis' secretary, said some of his people had ex-pressed criticism over the fact that Joe was playing but Bill Spiller, Negro pro from Los Angeles, was declared ineligible by the PGA and refused permission to compete. "We feel," said Reed, "that a Spiller, according to Reed, who has been acting as spokesman for his group, is not interested in trying to become a PGA member. Spiller and other Negro pros do want to be sanctioned as PGA tournament players. To do this, they must do the following: have two PGA member sponsors in the section they reside; they must meet character requirements; they must be approved by the sectional officials and the tournament committee. To qualify for membership in the PGA, the rules specifically state a person must be of the Caucasian race. The rules, Smith said, "take on legalistic aspects" as far as the Caucasian race requirement clause is concerned in the PGA tournament player classification. He indicated it would require a more judicial mind than his to interpret the matter. Reed said Spiller had made formal application for player credentials "three years ago but nothing has happened on it." SPILLER DEMANDS FORMAL EXPLANATION OF BAN SAN DIEGO (AP)—Golf's racial problem came to the surface again today as the first round of play get underway in the $10,000 San Diego Open. Professional Bill Spiller of Los Angeles, 38-year-old Negro, appeared at the first tee at San Diego Country club and derpanded a formal explanation of why he had been refused permission to compete. Holdouts for More Money In Trouble Ahead for New York SPORT—HOLDOUTS FOR MORE NEW YORK (AP) — Although there are few well-defined holdouts as of today in the major leagues, advance rumblings—especially on the three New York clubs—indicate trouble ahead for the moguls. An Associated Press survey of the 16 big league baseball teams indicated the Yankees, Giants and Dodgers each has a long way to go before it can field a team and probably face some fairly serious holdout battles before spring training gets underway next month. The champion Yankees thus far have announced the signing of pitcher Ed Lopat and their 39-year-old utility first-baseman, Johnny Mize. The Giants, who went down battling in the work force have only two regulars within the fold, outfielder Irvin and Don Mueen. Brooklyn, which re-until Bobby Thomson home run in the final National League signed seven, but of players has obtained tures only of its high man, second-baseman inson, catcher Roy and Outfielder Carl Rumor has it the asking several regular Andy Pafko, to take that the debate might into February. Shortstop Phil Hatcher Yogi Berra or already have called up Manager George Weingert out" talks. LA Rams Select Bill Wade Draft; Also Pick Up Ends and NEW YORK (AP)—The Los Angeles Rams won the bonus pick in the National League draft today and immediately designated Bill Wade of Vanderbilt as their choice. Wade is a T-formation York Yanks, Green Bay Chicago Cardinals and Browns. The Washington Rednosed that their choice was Larry for today's opening, was Louis and the racial angle. Spiller Declared Out Leonard Reed, Louis' secretary, said some of his people had expressed criticism over the fact that Joe was playing but Bill Spiller, Negro pro from Los Angeles, was declared ineligible by the PGA and refused permission to compete. "We feel," said Reed, "that a first in any field is a beginning. We intend to continue our fight for admission to PGA tournaments... in Phoenix and Tucson next week. We will not try to get in the tournaments in Texas, Mississippi or those southern states, but in the East, Midwest and other sections." Pre-tournament picks to win the $10,000 event range from money-player Lloyd Mangrum to amateur Frank Stranahan, a late entry. Other threats include Tommy Bolt of North Carolina, winner of the rich Los Angeles Open earlier this month; runnerup Jack Burke, Jr.; Jimmy Demaret, who captured Bing Crosby's colorful affair Sunday, and Leand Gibson of Kansas City, a member of the PGA tournament committee. Louis, and Spiller as well, have competed in many tournaments, such as the recent Los Angeles Open. But this one, and the others, were not officially sponsored by the PGA. Smith defined the participation by Louis and the exclusion of spiller as distinctly different games according to PGA regulations. Smith praised Louis as "a fine sportsman and golfer" and pointed out that he had been invited into the play by the co-sponsors and officials of the country club self. Not PGA Member Spiller, be said, could not be granted permission because (1) he is not a PGA member, or (2) PGA accredited tournamentayer. SAN DIEGO (UP)—Golf's racial problem came to the surface again today as the first round of play get underway in the $10,000 San Diego Open. Professional Bill Spiller of Los Angeles, 38-year-old Negro, appeared at the first tee at San Diego Country club and demanded a formal explanation of why he had been refused permission to compete. Spiller asked Frank Gaywood, new tournament supervisor for the PGA, for a formal explanation, and requested that the full committee meet with him today to discuss the matter. Spiller said he wanted "the nation's press to know the answer." In a conversation that was quiet and mannerly, Caywood said Spiller had been refused admission because he was hot a member of the PGA or included on the PGA's tournament-player list, which has many non-PGA members. Spiller said he would not accept this explanation. He told Caywood "I've heard all this before; and it still does not make sense." SEALS TO TRAIN AT HOME IN 52 SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The San Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast League will do their spring training at their home park in 52. It will be the first time since World War II ended that the Seals will train at-home. The gates will be closed to the public and then practices will be games in the afterbDrelo seds an held each morning, intra-squasi games in the afternoons. HATTON FOR KINER NEW YORK (UP)—During the major league meetings in New York, Grady Hatton of the Cincinnati Reds acted as the National League plawers' representative in talks with the circuit's owners. He was filling in for Ralph Kiner who was honeymooning in California. LA Rams Select Bill Wade Draft; Also Pick Up Ends and York Yanks, Green Bay Chicago Cardinals and Browns. The Washington Roanounced that their choice was Larry America halfback frost and the Philadelphia they had picked John the high-scoring Drake suffered a broken jaw Oklahoma Aggie game.

Walter Briggs, Owner of Detroit Tigers Baseball Team, Dies Today DETROIT (AP) — Walter O. Briggs, 74, industrialist and owner of the Detroit Tigers of the American Baseball League, died his winter home in Miami, Fla., laying. For years Briggs had not been well man. He was a familiar figure at Tiger games which he met from a wheel chair in the nily box. Briggs was known as one of the units of the auto industry. He came up out of the ranks to execute capacity. He was first a body snmer. Then he became owner of his own company. He was a prominent Catholic layman. He was also a yachtsman and horse owner. Some of his wealth he put into civic enterprises. He was a supporter of Detroit's Symphony Orchestra. He also contributed to the Detroit Zoological Gardens, a show place. His lions exhibit at the zoo was one of its leading attractions. Briggs was born in Ypsilanti, Mich., Feb. 27, 1877, the son of a railroad engineer. When he was a boy he worked in the railroad yards. From there he went to the auto shops. He founded his own body-making company about 15 years after the turn of the century. His success in the manufacturing world led him to climax an attachment for baseball by eventually becoming sole owner of the Tigers. Briggs never had played the game. But he realized one of his greatest ambitions in 1935. His Tigers that year became American League champions and also world champions. The Tigers were also champions in 1940 and 1945. Diese! Race Car Entered in May Auto Classic INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Cummins Engine Co., of Columbus, Ind., today entered a new diesel-powered race car for the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30. Fred Agabashian of Albany, Calif., who has been in the last five races, will be the driver. Cummins has entered diesel racers three times previously—in 1931, 1934 and 1950. The diesels took 13th place without a pit stop in 1931 and 12th in 1934. The 1950 entry went out after 52 laps because of a part failure. The new diesel will be given one concession over gasoline engines. It will be allowed a piston displacement of 402.68 cubic inches as compared with 274.59 for gasoline power plants. The engine actually will have a displacement of 401 inches, with a five-inch stroke and a 4½ inch bore. The power plant will be horizontal, and the entire drive line weight will be located to left center to permit higher speed on the turns. The horizontal engine will give the car the lowest center of gravity of any entry in speedway history. The car will be only 29 inches high at the cowl. The body is being built at the Kurtis-Kraft plant in California. 34 EXHIBITIONARY GAMES The Cincinnati Reds will play 34 exhibition games before they open the regular National League season April 15 with the Cubs at Crosley Field. More Money Indicate for New York Clubs battling in the world series, also have only two regulars officially within the fold, outfielders Monte Irvin and Don Mueller. Brooklyn, which refused to die until Bobby Thomson hit that home run in the final inning of the National League play-off, has signed seven, but of its regular players has obtained the signatures only of its highest salaried man, second-baseman Jackie Robinson, catcher Roy Campanella, and Outfielder Carl Purillo. Rumor has it the Dodgers are asking several regulars, including Andy Pafko, to take pay cuts and that the debate might run far into February. Shortstop Phil Rizzuto and catcher Yogi Berra of the Yanks already have called upon General Manager George Weiss for "feeling out" talks. After Two Straight Defeats, Locals Seek Victory Over Newport Friday A glance at the Anaheim basketball statistic book which covers games of this current season, one can easily discover the big reason for the two straight losses the Colonists have dropped to Huntington Beach and Fullerton and that is the absence of ace forward, Bill Ames. Ames has been out with the flu, although he did see limited action in the Huntington game, but while in the game he was under halter. He was told by the coach not to attempt any rebounds, but just to shoot at the basket. Ames is the leading point maker on the team, even though he hasn't played in the last game and only part of the Oiler contest. He has attempted 138 shots at the basket and connected 49 times for a 36.0 percentage. He has attempted 20 free throws and made good on 11 of them for a percentage mark of 55.0 which gives him a high point total of 109 points in 12 games for an average of 9.0 per contest. Leading percentage maker on the team with attempted shots at the basket is little Joe Clark who has attempted five shots and made four of them for a mark of 80.0 per cent. Dean Philpott has a very high mark of 47.1 with his attempted 17 shots and eight made good. For the season Anaheim, in the 13 games played, has averaged 45.0 points per contest while their opposition has averaged a mere 38.0 points; however, in league competition, after three games, the Colonists are averaging 44.3 to the enemy's 42.3 points per game. Friday night in the local high school gym the Colonists will play their first league home game of the year against offensive-minded Newport Harbor who is undefeated in league play. Game time is 8 p.m. for the varsity contest which will be preceded by the Bee contest, starting at 7.

Cagers Seek Second On Over Mounties but that score certainly isn't a true indication of the real outcome. Three Fullerton first team members saw action the second half as coach Alex Omalev gave everyone a chance to play against the weaker Don teain. In contrast, San Bernardino's Indians who are tied with the Hornets for the conference lead powered over the Dons, 94-57, but they played their first unit practically the entire game.
