Sunshine Raises Hopes Stars Will be Able to Play Game with League Champs Here Tomorrow As sunshine beamed steadily down on the La Palma park diamond today it looked as though Anaheim baseball fans might at "long last" get a "big" game in their rain-sodden ball park tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow a game with the Strait Railers has been set with Fred Haney's Hollywood Stars for 2 p.m. The Suds, who have been training at Palms Springs, are reportedly still slightly undermanned with about half a dozen ball players still due to report into camp yesterday. Like the Stars, they have had their last two games, one with San Diego Monday and Pittsburgh yesterday, both rained out and technically have not seen action against either a major or Coast League team this year. Manager Bill Sweney will probably use pitchers Charley Schanz, Clarence Beers and Earl Johnson. Seals Would Shoot Messenger Boy SAN FRANCISCO (12) — Telegrams of glom are plaguing Manager Tommy Heath as he prepares his San Francisco Seals for their Friday night exhibition against the Cleveland Indians. One told ace rookie hurler, Kenny Wright, 20, of his initial draft notice. However, Heath plans to use Wright against Cleveland. This afternoon, the Stars enjoyed a respite from the wars to stage an inter-squad tussle. Yesterday, because of a wet diamond, their scheduled game with the Portland Beavers was cancelled. Today the Beavers moved to Pullerton to tackle the Angels. It developed yesterday that Pinky Woods has signed his 1952 contract with the Stars, but he is looking for an outside job. Manager Haney said Woods signed some time ago and is not regarded as a holdout. Woods, possibly nearing the end of his best years in baseball, is angling for a full time job that may keep him in the game, or out of it, in an executive capacity. Meanwhile, the Stars have announced a change in their exhibition schedule away-from-"home." Billed to close their spring campaign in a four-game series against the Mexican All-Stars, the Stars now will play three of those tilts against the Imperial Valley All Stars and the fourth against Mexicali of the Southwest International League. Schedule March 27—Imperial Valley All Stars at Mexicali March 28—Imperial Valley at Yuma March 29—Imperial Valley at El Centro March 30→Mexicali Eagles at Mexicali. Messenger Boy SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Telegrams of glom are plaguing Manager Tommy Hoath as he prepares his San Francisco Seals for their Friday night exhibition against the Cleveland Indians. One told ace rookie bunker Kenny Wright, 20, of his initial draft notice. However, Heath plans to use Wright against Cleveland. Another wire said shortstop Jack Baumer was house hunting in Tulsa but would be along soon. No TV, No Radio, No Movies, Just Paying Customers SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Sugar Ray Robinson Carl Osso middleweight title fight tomorrow night will be strictly for the paying customer and the Damon Runyon cancer fund. There will be no television, no radio, no movies. As a result of this development, apparently caused by lack of air time for a sponsor, the 13-round main event will go on at 8:30 p.m. Promoter William P. Kyne predicted a gate of $75,000 for this three-times postponed brawl. LA City Council Seeks Big Leagues In the Coliseum LOS ANGELES (AP) — The City Council has gone on record in favor of offering Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to major league baseball teams for exhibition games. Pacific Coast league directors recently voted to ban major teams from playing one another in PCL parks, effective in 1953. Certain major league clubs then decided to abandon spring training in Southern California. The resolution passed yesterday by the council was to be considered today at a special meeting of the Coliseum commission, comprising representatives of the city and the county.

The hub club he doesn't like even a hit is the New York Yankees. Clint, who wears glasses on and off the field possibly and come-on, is an unpainted jersey who speaks his mind at all times. We recall that just a year ago along about now, he was beginning to burn because he knew that the Yankees, to whom he then longed, were planning to send him back to the minors. He didn't think he was a better catch than Yogi Berra, exactly, but he knew doggone well he could not catch their other bums. The previous year he had been with Rogers Hornsby at Beaumont in the Texas League. He had worshipped Hornsby, and still does, and Hornsby said last spring that Clint was ready for the show. But the Yanks sent him their Kansas City outfit, anyway. There he hit .294 and, we heard assaulted an umpire. We ran into him next on the Brown's bus coming back from San Bernardino yesterday. He was back with Hornsby after a year's lapse—of the four rookies the Rajair has stated President Bill Veeck got for him as the start of a rebuilding program. He hadn't change any to speak of.

The Ritz win was paced by their ace guard, Roger Pannier, who potted 20 points for the evening, although Don Goff of the losers was high point man for the game with 28 points. Backing up Pannier in scoring were the two Ritz forwards, Kenny Knapp and Dick Berg, who netted 17 points apiece. Every one of the starters on the Ritz team hit in the two-digits scoring column.

First Baptist beat Grace Lutheran 38-24, but the game was not as much of a run-away as the score might indicate. Although the half time score was 20-10 in favor of the Baptists, Grace Lutheran had come up to a score of 20-26 at the three-quarter mark. But in the final minutes the Baptists pulled away.

Why, he was asked, did he consider the Yankees his public enemy No. 1? "We never paid me what I thought I was worth." Courtney said. They're a cheap outfit. Sure, you'll see where George Weiss, when he thinks he's got to have a player to win a pennant, he'll pay $73,000 for him. He's smart that way. But you ought to get hold of that player and find out how much salary he's getting. It won't be much. They talk about Joe Dimaggio getting 90 to 100 thousand. I wouldn't believe it unless I saw the check." It wasn't until the subject of Satchel Paige, the ancient Negro pitcher, was raised; that the boy from the deep south displayed new interest. "That Satch," he grinned. "He asked me to warm him up the other day. He asked did I have a home plate in my pocket. I didn't know what he was talking about. He walks over and says 'here's one' and picks up a little piece of gum wrapper, about half a piece, and lays it on the grass. "I never knew there was control like he showed me. He must have thrown 40 balls without missing that little piece of gum wrapper more than an inch. He's really got control, that Satch." PCC Spring Grid Play Takes Blow SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Another blow to Pacific Coast conference spring football practice has been struck by school presidents. They ruled out regulation intra-squad games which usually climax spring drills. Previously, they had cut spring practice from 30 to 20 days.

Two Canada Swim Champs Vie at SC LOS ANGELES — Although a hot team battle is in prospect, the spotlight will be on two individuals when SC hosts Fullerton Junior college in a dual swim meet at the SC pool Thursday at 3:30 p.m. Both middle distance men on the 1948 Canadian Olympic team, Allen Gilchrist of SC and Jerry McNamee of Fullerton meet in the same pool again Thursday.

They ruled out regulation intra-squad games which usually climax spring drills. Previously, they had cut spring practice from 30 to 20 days. The PCC presidents said they wanted to confine spring practice to its original purpose of teaching and experimenting, eliminating the publicity attached to public exhibitions. The ruling ends USC's annual game for alumni in Los Angeles stadium; Washington's spring game at which admission is charged; Stanford's game in which sports writers direct the teams; Santa Clara's fund-raising game, and perhaps California's intrasquad game. California Coach Lynn Waldorf said the Bear's game was used as a clinic for PCC officials. He did not say whether that contest would be cancelled. Five pitchers on the Detroit Tigers roster were born in the city of Detroit. Both middle distance men on the 1948 Canadian Olympic team, Allen Gilchrist of SC and Jerry McNamee of Fullerton meet in the same pool again Thursday. Gilchrist, winner of the Most Outstanding Swimmer award in Canada in both 1949 and 1950, holds five Canadian national records. McNamee has been setting U. S. national junior college records in nearly every meet. Competing last weekend at Stanford and Berkeley, McNamee broke two national junior college records each day. This pair met once before this year, in a quadrangle meet which SC won from Fullerton JC, the California Swim club and UCLA, at Fullerton. NEW YORK (N) — The U.S. Olympic committee, planning to send 349 athletes to the summer games in Helsinki is more than a half million dollars short of the $700,000 needed to transport, train and house them. Somehow, somewhere, the necessary funds always are forthcoming. But it has been a tight squeeze in many instances. YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (T) — A new all-time snow depth record of 163 inches has been set at Badger Pass, Yosemite ski resort. Previous record was 135 inches measured Feb. 23, 1936.

The Wallinmen's next game will be this Friday when they meet Excelsior high school on the Pilot field. Trojans to Play San Diego Navy Gridders in Fall San Diego Naval Training Station has been signed to fill the open date on the University of Southern California football schedule for next fall. Director of Athletics Willis O. Hunter, in announcing the ten-game slate for the Trojans, stated that the Bluejackets would be played on Friday night, Oct. 10, in the Coliseum. This given Jens Hill's Trojan gridders three night contests in the first four weeks of the season. They open Sept. 19 against Washington State and play the Northwestern Wildcats on Sept. 26. Both are in the Coliseum. The only time the Trojans will see their opponents in the light of day in that first month will be on Oct. 4 when the Cadets from the U.S. Military Academy play SC at the Coliseum. In signing San Diego Navy for the Oct. 10 game," Hunter stated, "we are continuing our policy of adding the athletic programs of the service units whenever possible by placing spinning the sports sphere before the International Olympic committee considers Buenos Aires as a possible site for the 1956 games, (should Melbourne be forced to decline) they should talk with some of the American athletes who went there for the Pan-American games last March. Among other lesser inconveniences, the visitors were quartered in former army barracks which had been declared unfit for housing the present Argentine army. They were shuttled back and forth to the site of the games, some 20 miles distant over cow-path trails, in rickety old buses of ancient vintage. And the Argentine would-be Olympic hosts didn't exactly cover themselves with laurels in the sportsmanship category, either. In the U.S. vs Argentine basketball championship final, the fans behaved in a manner that would make the most rabid Brooklyn Dodger fan look like a model of diplomacy. After the Americans won, they had to be hustled to shelter by police escort.

The Pomonans picked up their sole point when their fifth singles man came back in a third set to take Anaheim's Larry Marville, 6-3, 3-6, 5-2. The win brought the AU team overall individual match record to 24-3 for the season in three matches. The record again establishes them in their customary role of probable league champs. D.

The Bluejackets are coached by Comdr. Tay Brown, former Trojan football star who also was a successful mentor at Compton college before re-entering the service. The series between the two teams stands at two wins apiece, SC winning last fall 43-7 and in 1944 by a 28-21 count while the Bluejackets had victories in 1943 (10-7) and 1945 (33-6).

Although Washington's heralded Huskies were soundly trounced by the amazing UCLA five, I think fellow TV cage viewers will agree with us that Husky center Bob Houbregs exhibited the finest assortment of hook shots to ever be seen in this area. The giant Houbregs was "fading," or falling away from the bucket each time he hooked, thus making his tosses almost impossible to guard. We wonder how many other observers are puzzled by the devious ways the NCAA chooses to set up its regional playoffs. After fighting through to the Southern division and Pacific Coast conference championships over a 15-game grind, UCLA must now trim Santa Clara, an independent who has not played any contests that count in anyone's standings, in order to get into the finals of the Western Regional playoffs. I am not belittling Santa Clara's ability. The Broncos form more than adequate opposition for the Bruins—they beat the prospective PCC champs early in February.
