Los Angeles keeps up Torrid Pace Defeating Stars, Seeks Fifth Straight 19 The Associated Press Los Angeles slugging Angels will be aiming for their fifth consecutive victory when they square-off against Hollywood tonight in the second game of their cross-town series. The game will be televised on Channel 2. The Scrapes, with a healthy team batting average of .291 before they posted the Stars 11-8 last night, have won seven of their eight games and are leading the Pacific Coast League by a two-game margin. Namir Stan Hack credits the Angels rapid start to pitching. Three of his burters, Eddie Chandler, Bill McKenan and Doyle Lade, had won two games each. Chandler has pitched two shutouts. The catchers earned run average is an available 1.20. But it's a hitting club, too, as evidenced by the team average and the respectable percentages of Max West, 428, Rod Hollis, 355, Les Hutch, 350, and Les Layton, 320. LAST NIGHT the Angels got 14 hits off four Hollywood pitchers, including home runs by West and Layton. Lade restricted the Stars to seven safeties, one a homer by Rod Hollis. San Diego, second in the standings. BASEBALL STANDINGS By The Associated Press Pacific Coast League W I.

Last night in the last game of the finals, played in the high school gym, Huntington five put away in the third quarter and defeated Ritz Cleaners 75-68. The game was close until the third quarter, but Ritz made terrific comeback in the fourth but just couldn't catch the Bear Boys. Coombs of Huntington Beach really burned up the floor for her team with a top score of 26 points. For the Ritz, Kellogg was right behind Coombs with 24. Huntington Beach received the championship trophy along with small individual trophies to each player of their team. Ritz Cleaners received the runner-up trophy. Ritz Cleaners Hunt.

Sacramento took an early lead on hits by Joe Gormon, Al White, Joe Marty, Richele Meyers, Bob Dillinger and Bill Glynn. Rogers Hornsby is Expected to Make Brown Season Considerably Brighter BY GALE TALKOT NEW YORK (AP)—The coming baseball season promises to be much richer for the return of Rogers Hornsby as manager of the St. Louis Browns. The Rajah, probably the greatest right-handed hitter who ever lived, was away far too long. A man who loves the game as Hornsby does and is able to drill his finer points into younger players with his sure hand should never have been permitted to wander around the outer fringes ever since 1957, conduct in baseball schools and managing in the minors. He belongs in the big time, and President Bill Yeck of the Browns deserves credit for having brought him back. Under Hornsby the Browns will be no laughing stock. They will be a colorful, fighting ball club and they will help attendance all around the American league. They will not finish last and they could finish as high as fifth if any one of several pitchers delivers as he has sworn to do for his manager. For some reason not easily discernable, Hornsby commands a fierce loyalty both from his younger players and from veterans who have been cast off by other elephants. Several of the latter, in particular, such as shortstop Marty Marion and Pitcher Tommy Byrne, can be counted upon to give it a terrific try. Perhaps they feel they have a common bond with the man who was up outcast for so else rise at the same miserable hour—even the writers attached to his club. It took us two sulphuric mornings to convince the girl on the switchboard that we were a free literary agent. When he isn't on the field Hornsby is sitting in the lobby with a toothpick between his strong teeth, talking baseball with all comers. There was a sign over his favorite location this spring saying "Hornsby's chair," and there were no interlopers. We asked him one night if he hadn't ever been interested in football or basketball or some other sport; and he said no. WHY SHOULD I? he asked There's enough to do learning all there is to know about baseball I'm still trying to learn." In the course of his lobby sitting Hornsby gets his ears beaten off by some strange characters, but he doesn't appear to mind. There was one we recall who said he had a pure-fire scheme which would increase Brownie attendance by a half-million. Maybe it was a million. The only difficulty was that he meant to keep it a secret until Hornsby signed the papers. Another night a long tall boy blew in from Chicago and introduced himself to Hornsby. He said he was both a pitcher and a third-baseman, depending upon which the Browns needed most. He had come all the way and landed broke because he was absolutely confident that Hornsby would sign him. Shipkey & Pearson 201 N.

High School Baseball Team Is Redondo to Advance in Consolation After coming from behind twice in a 10-inning game, Anaheim high school’s baseball team finally tripped up Redondo high school 3-2, yesterday afternoon to advance into the second round of consolation flight in the Pomona 20-20 Baseball tournament. This morning the Colonists were slated to tackle their next opponents at 9:00. An even-steven, scoreless tilt for the greater part of the game, only two hits were chalked up by Anaheim and three for Redondo during the first seven innings. Carl Hatfield will prevent from becoming only by a lucky bound barrier. Redondo bounced back lead with a run in their 10th and the Colonists waded 2-1, as they came up last turn at bat. Lupe then bunted and on a wicket first, went on to seize Wiethorn doubled to left score him and tie up game. A few seconds later Anaheim club wrapped game as a wild throw Giant, Dodger Chances Look Brighter Today By RALPH SODEN Associated Press Sports Writer The pennant stock of the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers is on the ascent today. It appears that Clem Labine, slated to fill the big shoes of Private Don Newcombe of the United States Army, will make the grade while the Giants' hopes are brightened by the acquisition of Bob Elliott, veteran slugger from the Boston Braves. The Giants obtained Elliott late last night for pitcher Shaiden Jones and an estimated $50,000. Elliott, a holdout with the Braves, came to terms quickly and will report to the Giants at Tulsa, Okla., tomorrow. Manager Leo Durocher plans to stick Elliott in left field, a spot left vacant by the injury to Monte Irvin, who suffered a broken ankle in a recent exhibition game. The Giants can use Elliott's big bat. The National League champions were beaten, 5-0, by the Cleveland Indians in Houston, Tex., yesterday. Bob Feller and George Zervink blanked the Giants on eight hits. Brooklyn doesn't expect Labine to win 20 games, but the Brooks wouldn't be surprised if the husky 25-year-old curve ball artist did hit that magic number. Labine, bothered recently with a swelling on his pitching elbow, became the third Dodger pitcher to go nine innings yesterday when he turned back the Boston Braves, 4-1, at Richmond, Va. The youngster, a former Army paratrooper, said after the game managers who wish to enter the City League this year should be present at this meeting.

A few seconds later the Anaheim club wrapped up the game as a wild throw to second. ON THE LAM with Jim Lamhofer Now they're saying that the reason Bob Dillinger was let out of the big leagues is a weak throwing arm. The Dillinger case is a strange one—almost as singular as the career of his late gangster nameake. Four years ago Dillinger was rated one of the top third sackers in the majors after only a few months with the St. Louis Browns. Writers were saying his speed and resultant success at pifering bases made his sur-name an apt one. Then he was sent off to the Philadelphia A's. The Mackmen kept Dillinger only a short time before peddling him to Pittsburgh and that required waivers on him from all other American league clubs. And the Junior loop wasn't exacaly bulging over with third sackers capable of hitting 200 consistently, as Dillinger was and did. As a matter of fact, it still isn't. "Unitcase" would have been an appropriate nickname for Dillinger, for he hadn't been with the Pirates even a full year before he was packing his bags again and heading for Chicago, back in the American league. Yes, and that, too, required walSports Mirror By The Associated Press A Year Ago Today—Dick Wakefield, $52,000 bonus player of the Detroit Tigers, was given his unconditional release by Oakland of the Pacific Coast League.

UCLA Names Kentucky as Toughest Foe LOS ANGELES—Cliff Hagen, six-foot-four Kentucky junior enter, and the University of Kentucky team were unanimous "tops" with the UCLA basketball team, according to final tabulations of voting by Coach Johnny Woods's Pacific Coast conference cage champions. Hagan, who scored 34 points in leading his team to an 84-53 win over the Bruins, was the only unanimous choice on the UCLA 52 All-Opponent team. Others named were Washington's center Bob "Hooks" Hougegs and guard Mike McCutchen, Sanford center Jim Ramstead and Santa Clara center Herbhoenstein. The second five individuals named by the Bruins included Kentucky guard Frank Ramsey, Sanford forward Ed Tucker, Illinois center John Kerr, Kentucky ward Bob Watson and Denver third sackers capable of hitting 300 consistently, as Dillinger was and did. As a matter of fact, it still isn't. "Saltcase" would have been an appropriate nickname for Dillinger, for he hadn't been with the Pirates even a full year before he was packing his bags again and heading for Chicago, back in the American league. Yes, and that, too, required wavers from all National league teams. Manager Paul Richards of the white-hot White Sox last season found himself with four third sackers, and Oretes Minoso, Floyd Baker, and Hank Majeski all saw more service at the hot corner than did Dillinger. KEEP IN MIND that all this time the bespectacled native of Glendale was steadily banging the ball for a .300-or-better clip, was fielding surely, and still was swiping more than his share of bases. Meanwhile other major league teams were struggling along with pitiful .250-or-worse-hitting far turn guardians. Even Richards and the White Sox decided they desired him no longer, so Dillinger is now playing his third base for Joe Gordon's PCL Sacramento Solons. Some observers thought Dillinger was too much of a quiet, mechanical type of ballplayer to satisfy Richards, who demands continual hustle and all-out play from his charges. While Dillinger's throwing flipper was always considered only average in strength,'many believed his speed afoot enabled him to "glove" the ball quicker and thus have more time for the throw. We cannot recall another case during a decade and a half of following baseball closely, of a consistent .300 swatter being shipped to the minors. BIG LEAGUE managers usually somehow make room on their rosters for club-footed outfielders who are terrified at the sight of any fly ball, providing said men can bash the pellet at near the magic .300 figure. Major loop rosters are loaded with this type of Boston. Hank Greenberg, and Jimmy Foxx, were considered on a par with the flychasers in the plate department. But with the demise of such worthless and the failure of the new crop to come up to their shootups in stature, the standards have even fallen drastically on hitting requirements for gateway bag tenders. As for the Dillinger case, far more astute baseball men, much closer to the picture than us, are as baffled by the unfortunate turn of events for Dillinger as we are. Those who may be in the know just aren't talking. If anyone thinks he has an answer to the enigma, please let us and a few hundred thousand other baseball fans in on it. We are more than a little baffled.

MAILING LISTS Complete Coverage ULLERTON — ANAHEIM GARDEN GROVE Call LAmbert 5-1845 or Gazette Box 151MC BIG LEAGUE managers usually somehow make room on their rosters for club-footed outfielders who are terrified at the sight of any fly ball, providing said men can bash the pellet at near the magic .300 figure. Major loop rosters are loaded with this type of player right now. Now consider that a .300-hitting infielder is certainly more of a rarity than an outer gardener-capable of batting .300.

Our own Third supervisorial district is not now doing its part in providing competent business management of county affairs through the Board of Supervisors. This failure hits at our own purse and is harmful to our general interests. It is also harmful to the county as a whole, when our Supervisor is out of step with the Board and its efforts to administer affairs efficiently and economically. When we find in our county budget such items as $1,489,880 for highways, $1,603,500 for flood control, $2,078,942 for the hospital, a building fund of $750,000 we realize that the task of the Supervisor calls for something more than political job-holding. It needs business ability and it needs consideration of the taxpayer's position. In discussing the office of Supervisor from the Third district I do so as a candidate, also as a tax-payer, also as a businessman, who would like to see a businesslike handling of the job. I respectfully request all parties interested in our Third district to please drop me a line now, and state their opinions and suggestions along with constructive criticism concerning your community or county as a whole. Point out why you feel we need real active representation, and why you feel we have not received the proper representation. Write Edward Faulkner, 6941 Grand Avenue, Buena Park, Calif.
