Los Angeles Keeps Up Torrid Pace, Chandler Meets Bonus Baby Tonight By The Associated Press Eddie Chandler, whose two shutouts against Sacramento, make him the Pacific Coast League's hottest hurler, takes the mound tonight favored to lead the Los Angeles Angels to their ninth win in 10 starts. The 190-pound right hander will be diving with southpaw Dick Petit, the $100,000 bonus tony Hollywood acquired from Pittsburgh. Unimpressive last year, Petit is expected to make a content of it on the strength of his winning PCL debut last week. Some Coast Leaguers are saying already that Chandler, who has a world of stuff, is a cinch to go up to the majors, and, in fact, is ready right now. It hasn't always been that way. In 1941, at the end of his first season as a pro with Pocatello (Idaho) in the Pioneer League, he was released and advised to quit baseball. But after a stint in the Air Force he joined Fort Worth and was a Texas League all star for four straight years. He came to Los Angeles last year from St. Paul. THE LEAGUE-LEADING Angels made it five straight last night, nipping Hollywood 6-5 by squirching a last ditch rally. The Stars charged a no-hum affair into a hundinger by scoring three runs in the ninth inning. Then, with the bases loaded and two down Chuck Blevens fanned out to miss a chance for glory.

MILWAUKEE (F)—A Los Angeles duo, Foy Belcher and Tom Scalzo, powered into the doubles lead of the American Bowling Congress tournament by rifting 1319, the first 1300 of the tourney.

It is of the utmost importance to look well ahead in such matters. Preparing our athletes mentally for the struggle to come, the Tennis association, through Harold A. Lebair, the chairman of its rules committee, has formally notified each and every one of the scamps that he had better observe the so-called eight weeks rule this summer—or else. Call it a sort of preliminary pep talk. The rule in question, which was abolished by England last year and never was heard of in Australia, stipulates that a player may draw expenses in only eight tournaments outside the various national championships and five sectional events—scarcely sufficient to get a boy well warmed up. After warning the miscreants that they needn't try to get around the edict by hiding out in rooming houses and private homes during a tournament and pretending not to know where their next meal is coming from, the letter from Lebair concludes in fatherly fashion "these rules will be strictly enforced." That should do it. Any tennis player who isn't ready and anxious to throw himself into the struggle against the Aussies after he has received such a ringing call to duty isn't worthy of representing the U.S.L.T.A., anyway. IT PROBABLY should be added that this is only the present writer's personal opinion and is not shared by everyone who loves the game.

Cypress Anaheim Anahi Baseball Team Drops One to Santa Ana High at Pomona John Wallim's Anaheim high baseball squad was edged out of the Pomona 20-30 tournament yesterday afternoon, 1-0, by Santa Ana in the semi-final round of the consolation flight. Earlier the same day they had dumped an Excelsior team, 10-4. A tight game, highlighting a pitcher's duel between Anaheim's Val Wiethorn and the Saints' Harris, Santa Ana game saw each team chalk up only a single hit apiece. Santa Ana's score came in the bottom of the sixth after a runner reached first on an error, was sacrificed to second and brought home on a double by the Santa Ana catcher — the only Saint hit of the day. Anaheim's Wiethorn, in addition to giving only one hit, gave up no walks. San Diego high will meet Chafey in the final game of the tournament, while Santa Ana meets the winner of the Pt. Loma-Bonita game for the consolation title. Both games are Saturday. IN THE ESCONDIDO game yesterday morning, Anaheim batsmen knocked out their 10 runs in the first four innings of play, then coasted in, never in danger. In the first frame Wiethorn singled, went to second on a wild pitch. Herbel got on on an error and first sacker Carl Hatfield clouted out a home run to score both. Roberts then singled and Bishop scored him on a double. In the second Wiethorn trinled Herbel safe on an errant bag. A good bus field then scored both and Steinborn. Herbel home to bring the coure. Escondido rallied briefly, bringing in four never threatened again. Dick Ramella did not for the Colonists.

It may have been Hogan’s reign as the kingpin of American golf, the chunky squire from German-town, N.Y., said today. It may have been the nerve-jarring bugaboo Hogan long has held over Sam Snead. Whatever it was, Sarazen came away from the picturesque azalea country predicting Snead would erack his ancient jinx and win the National Open championship at Dallas in June. “That last round 79 in the Masters made Hogan look mighty human,” Sarazen, one of the sport’s great all-time champions, said. “In Sam’s eyes, at least, it may have unmasked Ben as the superhuman robot.” Snead won the Masters last week-end with a 72-hole score of 286, highest in the tournament’s history. Hogan faded to a 79 on the last day for a 293 and a tie for seventh place. “The open will be the big test for Hogan,” Sarazen added. “If Ben misses this one, too, and as badly as he did the Masters, then it may mean that the unseen blow has struck him. “You never know when it hits—this golfing ghost—that sooner or later strikes down all the champions. When it comes it means a golfer is over his peak and the rest of the road is downhill”.
