2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Sawyer Taps Jones’ Wallet, Finds Player BY RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer "Sock a ballplayer where he hurts most—in the pocket book—to make him toe-the line," is an off-proved adage. Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones the fine third baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies, is the latest example that there's plenty of truth in the old saying. Jones was fined $200 by Manager Eddie Sawyer on March 17 for breaking training rules. Since then, Willie has been a ball of fire both afield and at the plate. The "new" Jones has been especially hard on the St. Louis Cardinals. He has smashed three home runs in the last four days against the Redbirds. Friday he clouted a two-run homer in Steve Ridzik's 3-0 no-hit triumph and fielded brilliantly.

Hurlers have outshone the bat-eters during the opening games. The same was true during the pre-season exhibition tilts. Seven hurlers turned in two victories each the opening week. League President Clarence Rowland says its because “the pitchers are ahead of the hitters in condition.” Los Angeles Manager Stan Hack can vouch for the value of conditioning on his mound staff. Eddie Chandler, who didn’t finish a game for the Angels in 1951, buckled down to strict diet and training and last week won a pair of 1-0 victories. THE SAN FRANCISCO Seals came up with Bill Reeder, from Class B, who tossed a one-hitter against Portland, added two scoreless relief innings and won again Sunday. Other two-game winners: Bill Molsan, Los Angeles; Bill Bradford, San Francisco; Guy Fletcher, San Diego; Lloyd Hittle, Oakland; and Charley Schanz, Seattle. Hittle’s wins included a blank line against the San Diego Padres. San Diego’s rookie Guillermo (Call Me Willie) Luna hurled a shutout against Oakland in his first mound chore. He won 26 for Tijuana in Class C last season. Hollywood’s Johnny Lindell also turned in a shutout and Paul Petit, the overdue bonus left hander, made a promising debut. EDDIE SAWYER Saturday he socked another two-run four-bagger in the Phils’ 9-4 romp. Sunday he failed to hit in the Phils’ 9-8 victory but starred again yesterday as the Phils made it four straight over the Cards with a 5-4 triumph at Raleigh, N.C. Willie homered in the eighth to launch a three-run rally that won the game. Catcher Del Rice slammed a pair of homers to keep the Cards in the game. HOME RUN ALSO were plentiful at High Point, N.C., where the Philadelphia Athletics outlasted the Boston Red Sox, 12-6. Eight homers were hit with Joe Astroth, Gus Zernial and Allie Clark connecting for the A’s and Dom DiMaggio, Vern Stephens, Billy Goodman, Jim Piersall and Faye Throneberry for the Sox. The Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost a 1-0 no-hitter to the Braves Sunday, pounded out 11 hits to swamp the Boston Braves, 8-4, at Lynchburg Va. Rookie Bill Miller and veteran Joe Ostrowski almost turned in the spring’s fourth no-hit, no-run game. The lefthanders pitched the New York Yankees to a 8-0, one-hit victory over the Columbus Cardinals of the Class “A” South Atlantic League at Columbus, Ga. Bill Harris singled in the sixth to spoil the old. The Cleveland Indians smeared he may duck the whole affair all together; recalling that the only other evening meet the Colonists entered this year, the Brea-Olinda Relays, left his squad in poor shape for weeks afterward. Next major meet for the Colonists comes Saturday when eight Anahdim thinclads compete in the Easter Relays at Santa Barbara. Keith indicates he will probably take eight men, four varsity and four bees. Varsitymen include Larry Kirchman, Ira Webber, Dick Reed and Bruce Horner. Kirchman will also enter a special open 100 yard dash. Bee Relay team will consist of Don David, Bill Walker, Duane Duncan and either Mickey Gouyd or Don Switzler. Hittle's wins included a blank line against the San Diego Padres. San Diego's rookie Guillermo (Call Me Willie) Luna buried a shutout against Oakland in his first mound chore. He won 26 for Tijuana in Class C last season. Hollywood's Johnny Lindell also turned in a shutout and Paul Petit, the overdue bonus left handler, made a promising debut. More hurlers are coming in every day. The Angels got Cal McLish, a 20-game coast winner in 1950—an option from the Cuba and Pittsburgh sent five more to Hollywood.

CLOSE USC-STANFORD TRACK MEET PREDICTED LOS ANGELES — Jess Mortensen, the track and field mentor of the University of Southern California, foresees a close meet when his charges tangle with Stanford April 19. Gloomy Giants See Flag Flit During Spring BY GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK UP — A week ago today we were traveling across the western states with a pennant-bound ball club, the New York Giants. It seems a long time ago. If ever a team exuded class and confidence, the Giants old. They had what it took, and there wasn't a man on the roster from Manager Leo Durgecher down, who didn't know it. There was great pleasure in traveling from city to city with as happy an outfit as the Giants were. Not even a series of close losses to the Cleveland Indians and slinker their confidence a particle. Durgecher, a hard loser, was grumbling a bit about his catchers calling for wrong pitches at critical times, but that was all Leo always was a little worrier. He said. And then came Denver, a week ago tomorrow. Monte Irvin, the club's most valuable player and possibly its most popular, said into third and suffered a fractured ankle. The bones protruded through the sock. As the Negro slugger was carried from the field, you knew you had witnessed the death of a baseball club. An unbroken silence settled over the Giants bench and they played out the final seven innings as though they were in a trance. Several said later that they felt numb. They were men who not only han seen a friend painfully hurt but... CLOSE USC-STANFORD TRACK MEET PREDICTED LOS ANGELES (A) — Less Mortensen, the track and field mentor of the University of Southern California, foresees a close meet when his charges tangle with Stanford April 19. He told local sportswriters yesterday that if the Trojans had met Stanford last week, the score quite conceivably could have been 68-63 with USC leading. Mortensen based his figure on comparative marks taken from Troy's meet with California and Stanford's with the Olympic club. The closeness of the points says Mortenson is indicative of the type of battle which the Trojans and Indians should wage at the Coliseum. LOS ANGELES (A) — Matchmaker Babe McCoy says he'll go ahead with attempts to book a Los Angeles rematch between Champion Jimmy Carter and Lauro Salas for the world's lightweight title—despite Illinois objections. the New York Giants, 8-3, at San Antonio, Tex., for their ninth win in 11 starts against the National League champions. The Indians Bob Kennedy hit a grand-slam homer. Chicago's Cubs came up with seven runs in the fourth and defeated the St. Louis Browns, 8-6, at Shreveport, La. Ned Garver, the Browns' 20-game winner, was the victim of the big blast. The Washington Senators edged the Cincinnati Reds, 8-7, at Boaknoke, Va., thanks to rookie pitcher Raoul Sanchez. Sanchez took over in the ninth with none out, two runs in and two on, and retired the side. In night games, the Chicago White Sox nosed out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, at New Orleans and the Detroit Tigers nipped Atlanta of the Southern Association, 10-9, in 10 innings at Atlanta. THE STRICKEN athletes had few words to say as they returned to their hotel by bus. You would say "tough," and they would mumble "yeah." There were no smiles and the usual banter all gone as they climbed aboard their special train for the next long haul to Wichita. Kas. Fortunately, it trained steadily all the next day, or the Wichita fans would have witnessed a sad exhibition. No one knew better than Durocher. The little manager made no effort to conceal his anguish nor said anything about maybe winning without Monte when he told newsmen of his emergency plan to return Bob Thompson to the outfield and send Hank Thompson to third. It seems a lot longer than five days ago when Leo said that his pretty wife, Larraine Day, had told him to get on his knees and pray. It is not possible to compare any disaster which ever befell another club to that which struck the Giants. There have been other worse injuries, even death, but none which almost as surely cost a team a championship. It was a painful thing to have witnessed and will not soon be forgotten. NEW YORK (P) — The Daily News said today it has learned exclusively that Willie Mays, centerfielder of the New York Giants, may be deferred from the draft on the grounds of being a "harshship case." The News said it had learned that Mays, last season's "rookie of the year," is scheduled for a special hearing into an ankle injury. The bones protruded through the sock. As the Negro slugger was carried from the field, you knew you had witnessed the death of a baseball club. An unbroken silence settled over the Giants bench and they played out the final seven innings as though they were in a trance. Several said later that they felt numb. They were men who not only had seen a friend painfully hurt but had at the same time seen perhaps $6000 apiece disappear into thin air. FELLER Predict Hurler's Loop By The Associated Press Cleveland's "Big Four" staff has lots of confidence. They believe they agree three 20-game winners them. Bob Feller, who won last year, picks Bob Lemons Wynn and Mike Garcia as the inner circle of 20-gamers this year. They, in turn, Feller will do it again. Feller, now 33, said "Y figure on me winning 20 I I'm not saying I won't do you. I just can't count on need lots of luck and you has to hit behind you for 10 of record." Feller has won 220 game Cleveland. He wants to 200 before he quits. "P pushing it pretty good." "But time has been pushed too. I need 70 wins. That probably take five years. I be pitching that much long arm isn't like an autumn. You can't trade in a new one. Husky Mike Garcia, who has a 20-13 record in 1951, does he going to do as well she "Perhaps I'll never have as good as last year." "You can't tell." Feller, Lemon and Wynn just at their peak. They shy as good this year, or better they have ever been. "It's going to be better pitchers this year. Our team hit. The fellows won't years in a row hitting lids last year. That most pitchers won't have to witen often." Feller believes there will least seven 20-game winners American League this year.

The News said it had learned that Mays, last season's "rookie of the year," is scheduled for a special hearing tomorrow before the Alabama State Draft Board in Birmingham. Since Mays is the main support of a family of nine, the News said, the Giants' outfielder may be deferred from service. Mays is scheduled to be inducted into the Armed Forces May 16.

FLORES LOS ANGELES (P) — Switch-hitting Mario Trigo takes on speedy Jesse Flores tonight in a 10-round-or-less welterweight battle at the Olympic auditorium. Trigo, a Los Angeles battler who has met some of the nation's best, has been the busier of the two boxers. Flores, of Stockton, didn't do much fighting last year, but earlier was rated high enough to get a lightweight title shot. Remember Speed Kills! LIMIT CATCH—Nick Wingert, left, Dick Martin, right, and Wayne Held (not in picture), were at the business ends of the rods that brought in the catch shown above from Lake Havasu, back of Parker Dam. They're bass, the largest of which weighed 4¼ pounds.

This afternoon at 3 o'clock the colonists take on Redondo, losing a game with Citrus yesterday, in the first round of the consolation games, according to Coach Feller Predicts. Playing lustreless ball most of the route, the Anaheim ball club opened with two unearned runs in the first inning as Lupe Gonzales walked, stole second and moved to third on a single by Steinborn. Both men then came home on a wild throw to second base. Riverside came right back in their half of the frame to collect two runs, also unearned. The Colonists made another run in the third inning. The game was called on a time Feller Predicts Hurler's Loop By The Associated Press Cleveland's "Big Four" pitching staff has lots of confidence. They believe they again have three 20-game winners among them. Bob Feller, who won 22 games last year, picks Bob Lemon, Early Lynn and Mike Garcia to reach the inner circle of 20-game winners this year. They, in turn, think Feller will do it again. Feller, now 33, said "You can't secure on me winning 20 this year. I'm not saying I won't do it, mind you. I just can't count on it. You need lots of luck and your club us to hit behind you for that kind record." Feller has won 220 games for Cleveland. He wants to make it 70 before he quits. "I've been pushing it pretty good," he said. But time has been pushing me. So I need 70 wins. That will probably take five years. I hope to pitching that much longer. An am isn't like an automobile,ough. You can't trade it in for new one. Husky Mike Garcia, who posted 20-13 record in 1951, doesn't say is going to do as well this year. Perhaps I'll never have a season good as last year," he said. You can't tell. Feller, Lemon and Wynn are at their peak. They should be good this year, or better, than they have ever been. It's going to be better for us teachers this year. Our team can. The fellows won't go two ears in a row hitting like they did last year. That means the teachers won't have to work as often." Feller believes there will be at least seven 20-game winners in the American League this year. The opening round of the annual 20-30 tournament at Pomona yesterday. This afternoon at 3 o'clock the colonists take on Redondo, loser in a game with Citrus yesterday, in the first round of the consolation games, according to Coach in the first inning as Lupe Gonzales walked, stole second and moved to third on a single by Steinborn. Both men then came home on a wild throw to second-base. Riverside came right back in their half of the frame to collect two runs, also unearned. The Colonists made another run in the third inning. The game was called on a time allowance rule in the sixth. Reserve pitcher Eddie Harker went almost the entire distance for Anaheim, being relieved by Dick Ramella in the sixth. Shortstop Gayle Herbel and outfielder John Steinborn again led hitting, each collecting a single hit. The hit kept Herbel's remarkable batting average in the 400's. NCAA TIGHTENS ACADEMIC STANDARDS CHICAGO UP — The National Collegiate Athletic association has stepped up its efforts to crack down on violators of its academic and athletic requirements. A four-man committee, headed by NCAA Executive Director Walter Byers, was named yesterday at the final session of the NCAA council to handle complaints and investigate evidence of violations.
