Before nightfall the lineup for the $100,000 added Kentucky Derby should be fairly well in hand. The sifting will come in the Derby trial, a mile prep for the mile and one-quarter classic for three-year-olds on Saturday. The trial furnishes some of the top eight Derby hopefuls with their final tightener. It will give others a chance to prove their right to run in America's most famous horse race. The trial is expected to draw a field of 10 or so, including at least three, and possibly five, of the Derby candidates most talked about at the Downs. Hill Gall pride of the Calumet farm, heads the list. Should the fleet son of Bull Leo show an advantage in the trial, he'll probably be favored in the Derby. Among the highly rated Derby candidates expected to oppose the Calumet flash tomorrow are the unpredictable Couzin and Sub Fleet. Trainer Sylvester Veitch may send out Cold Command, recent conqueror of Hill Gall in a seven-furlong test at Keeneland. W. J. Passmore said he would enter Hannibal, but might not start him. Other probable entries include Arroy, Brian Bern, Kingly, Brown Rambler, Turks Cap, Seven Run and Dry Summer—all strictly remote outsiders in the pre-Derby consideration. C.T. Chambers, southpaw for the St Louis Cardinals, is not a bookorm but he was born in the town of Library, Pa. Ollie Sax, Jr., Penn State's senior and sophomore quarter-miler, is the son of a former baseball major leaguer. Ollie, Sr., played briefly with the St Louis Browns. Baseball, Tennis Squads Ready for League Seasons The lid comes off the 52 Sunset League baseball and tennis season tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. Coach John Wallin's hardbattemen tackle Santa Ana on their own field while Coach Bill Cook's netmen host the same school. With a 7-11 win-loss record, the baseball squad could be a power in loop competition this year; its personnel, which includes most of last summer's championship American Legion tournament squad, are shaping up into a much improved squad over the outfit that took a drubbing at the hands of most league opponents last year. The racketmen, champions last year, are defending their title with good chances of repeating. LOS ANGELES (T)—California and Southern California resume their baseball rivalry this afternoon after the visitors shaved the USC lead in the California Intercollegiate baseball association to one-half game over Stanford. The Florida State University volleyball team has won the Florida AAU championship the past three consecutive years. SANTA ANA TENNIS SQUAD CLOSES SEASON Traveling to Orange Coast with a 3-2 Conference won-lost record Coach Maurice Gerard's Santa Ana College tennis squad closes its regular Eastern conference season Wednesday against the Pirates. The Dons will have co-captain Bruce Blair and Dick Marther, Tim Peralta, Jimmy Crowe, Fehx Martinez, Pat Lewis, Dalton Killian and Harold Teague. LOS ANGELES (T)—California tuned up for Saturday's dual track meet with Stanford at Palo Alto with a 76-55 victory over UCLA. C.I.T. Chambers, southpaw for the St. Louis Cardinals, is not a book-corm but he was born in the town of Library, Pa. Ollie Sax, Jr., Penn State's senior sophomore quarter-miler, is the son of a former baseball major leaguer. Ollie, Sr., played briefly with the St. Louis Browns as an infielder in 1928. The University of Arizona basketball teams won eight Border Conference championships, and tied two others. Seven of Preacher Roe's 1931 victories were by one run. In none other of his three losses was he knocked out of the box. SETS NEW RECORD—Patty Berg, of St. Andrews, Ill., kisses her golf putter after finishing the ninth hole.

San Diego's pitch stop the Pacific Coast League today looks about as secure as a small branch in a high wind. The Padres came close to falling yesterday, but a couple of timely homers by John Davis and Jack Graham plus good pitching by rookie lefthander Willie Luna saved the day. Having lost to Hollywood 6-2 in the first game of a twin bill, the leaders would have dropped to third with a loss in the nightcap and the Stars would have taken over. But Luna went well the seven-inning route for a 5-3 win. Things also might have been different if second place Los Angeles hadn't been rained out. The Angels were overdue against Portland's Beavers who had waxed them four out of five. A downpour postponed their doubleheader. The same happened at Seattle for the Rainiers and Oakland Oaks. At San Francisco, the Seals split with C sacramento, winning 6-5 but dropping the abbreviated nightcap 5-2. As the Stars won four of their six games with San Diego, they finished just 1½ games behind the leader and half a game behind Los Angeles. Tomorrow night they open a seven-game series with the ceilar-dwelling Sacramento Solons. San Francisco and Portland both come close to winning. Fishing News Anahlm casters Roy Mabee and Clint Flynn were awarded first and second place trophies for the annual dinner of the Long Beach Casting club held last Saturday. In winning the top trophy Mabee compiled average of 1951 points out of possible 2000 for the season's 15 casting events to beat the approximately 75 active casters in the Long Beach club. He also received five bar awards denoting his proficiency in each of the individual accuracy events. Flynn copped the second place trophy for the year with 1945 points and the same five bar awards. The barracuda keep coming in! Last week many "barries" weighed in between eight and 10 pounds. W. H. Wood of San Bernardino registered a "log" at 10 pounds even. Meanwhile, the heaviest catches of the week continued to get white sea bass. Kay J. Kentner of Los Angeles, a disabled vet, fishing from his wheel chair, landed the week's topper, a 29 lb., 2 oz., white sea bass. Anchovie bait still excellent. Boats fishing between Newport pier and Dana Point, fishing barometer points to "9000."

True or false As the Stara won four of their six games with San Diego, they finished just 1½ games behind the leader and half a game behind Los Angeles. Tomorrow night they open a seven-game series with the cellar-dwelling Sacramento Solons. San Francisco and Portland both sprang to life last week, improving to .500 marks for the season, 3½ games behind San Diego. The Seas play at the Padres home this week while Portland travels to Oakland. Los Angeles returns to its Wrigley Field where the Angels played in most impressive style in their previous home stand. But the visiting Rainiers hope to continue where they left out in taking their first 1952 series last week. No games are scheduled tonight. At Hollywood Johnny Lindell pitched and hit the Stars to victory in the opener. In addition to doubling a five-hitter, he whacked a three-run homer. Frankie Kelleher—reported on the way out of Star livery on Saturday—also hit a four-master and added another in the second game. Murray Franklin accounted for both San Diego runs in the opener with a homer. The round-trippers by Graham and Davis accounted for three of the San Diego runs in the second game and Allen Richter’s triple figured in the other two. Patty Berg Leads Lady Golf Field RICHMOND, Calif., — Record-smasher Patty Berg held a three stroke lead today as the country’s crack women golf professionals teed off in the final round of the $5000 54-hole Richmond Ladies PGA open. Popular Miss Berg had a two day total of 132. Treading on her heels was Betty Jameson of San Antonio with 141. They were practically in front by themselves. California’s most severe winter in years will have a variety of effects on the hopes of nearly half-a-million anglers who open the first of the state’s twin trout fishing seasons Saturday, May 3. The recent heavy rain and snow in many northern California areas means muddy waters, inaccessible roads, and fussy fish. Water conditions in limited Southland areas are the best in years, but in some cases, important fish planting operations were delayed by winter storms. The pre-season predictions come from wardens of the California Department of Fish and Game. From their experience with last minute storms prior to the 1951 trout opener, they unanimously qualify this year’s advance opinions with a weather disclaimer. ONE HOUR before sunrise, May 3, begins the 185-day early season. May 30 is the legal opening of trout angling in Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Nevada, Placer, Eldorado, Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne, and Del Norte counties and parts of Humboldt, Trinity, Lake and Mendocino counties. Tahoe, Donner, Boca, Almanor, Butt and Pillabury lakes, and Humboldt county’s Stone, Big, Freshwater and Clam Beach lagoons open May 3 in exception to their surrounding waters. All summer trout angling seasons close one hour after sunset, Oct. 31. General bag and possession limits are 15 trout, salmon or mountain whitefish combined, or 10 pounds and one fish. By Southland counties, the wardens’ appraisal of the May 3 prospects: ORANGE—Fair. Water conditions good, but few native fish. RIVERSIDE — Fair. Streams high and clear, but angling success dependent on amount of one season before ticking to the Browns in that last trade in which the Brownly took the Tigers to the according to all appearances. Now Cain appears ready that one-hit job, to be a neter... Meanwhile she are floundering madly and is the forst of it... A steady winner such as perately ... True or fall out must result in order player to be credited wisest? ... The answer is: A fielder may be credited an assist on a play in putout resulted but forquent error by a team cording to the rule book; a good one to catch a foul on... Halfback Bill Powder who made the longest run from scrummage in innings against Oregon Sailfall—98 yards—has decided turn for another season; he could have graduated spring... He was injured... Miss Berg had a two day total of 133. Treading on her heels was Betty Jameson of San Antonio with 141. They were practically in front by themselves. Next closest, at 143, were two Florida entrants — Babe Lindkison Zaharias of Tampa and Peggy Kirx of Ponta Verda. Miss Berg knocked old man par cockered to set a woman's world record 64 in the first round. The former woman's record was 66, held jointly by Mrs. Zaharias, Opal S. Hill of Kansas City and Grace Lenczik of Newington, Conn. Yesterday the St. Andrews, Ill., star neglected 74 strokes to negotiate the 6339 yard Richmond country club course. Men's par is 35-37—72 and Women's 36-37—73. Brisk winds blowing down the back nine fairways bothered Miss Berg and she carded a 39 after going out in 35. Remember Speed Kills! ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO. MOVING - STORAGE General Trucking PHONE: 2123— 505 S. Los Angeles St. Anahalm General bag and possession limits are 15 trout, salmon or mountain whitefish combined, or 10 pounds and one fish. By Southland counties, the wardens' appraisal of the May 3 prospects: ORANGE—Fair. Water conditions good, but few native fish. RIVERSIDE — Fair. Streams high and clear, but angling success dependent on amount of catchable-sized trout planted. Best bets: Snow, Andreas, north fork San Jacinto creeks, Lake Fulmore. SAN BERNARDINO—Good to excellent. Better than normal water conditions. Lakes clear and generally well stocked. Best bets: Upper Santa Ana river, Forsee, Bear, Lytle creeks, San Dimas and Jenks lakes, San Antonio and Cucamonga canyons. SAN DIEGO — Good. Water conditions best in years. Best bets: Pine Valley, Boulder, Pauma and Cottonwood creeks. Tommy Upton, shortstop for the Washington Senators, is studying at the University of Southern California for a masters' degree in mathematics. In 1951 Preacher Roe beat every club in the National League at least twice. He knocked off St. Louis seven times without a defeat. Ralph Townsend, former University of New Hampshire Olympic and inter-collegiate ski star, is now the ski coach at Williams college. When Michigan State's basketball team defeated Notre Dame, 66-52, at South Bend this season, it snapped a 20-game home victory string for the Irish extending to 1949. ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer The Brunswick playing right field for Seattle is the same Gordon Brunswick who starred at halfback for Washington State a couple of seasons back. Talk about venerable athletes, how about Sammy White? The Boston Red Sox rookie catcher is currently setting the American league on fire with his red-hot bat, but he is best remembered on the Coast for the years he teamed with Jack Nichols to give Washington one of its greatest basketball teams. If Detroit players are getting peeved at Manager Red Rolfe, good enough reason by itself would seem to be Rolfe's willingness to let so many good players be traded off his club. Last year he let Saul Rogovin go to the White Sox so he could get Bobby Cain. Rogovin led the league in the all-important earned-run department with a low flinging figure of 2.78. Then Rolfe kept Cain only one season before ticketing him to the Brownins in that last winter's trade in which the Brownies really took the Tigers to the cleaners according to all appearances. Now Cain appears ready, with that one-hit job, to be a big winner. Meanwhile the Detroiters are floundering madly and pitching is the forst of it. They need a steady winner such as Cain desperately... True or false—a put-together Carter Wins 440 at H.S. Track Meet First blood in the series of 440 duals that face Anaheim's Larry Kirchman and Orange's Landon Carder was scored by Carter last Friday afternoon as he defeated the Anaheim dash man by nearly 10 yards in a record smashing run during the Sunset League track and field finals held on Huntington Beach high school field. Turning in a sizzling .49 second flat gallop for the one-lapper, Carter thoroughly shattered Kirchman's record of .50.0 posted during the same meet last year. The Orange comet set the early pace, held off Kirchman's bid to draw abreast midway in the race and then won moving away. The two 440 men, regarded as the two prime one-lap artists in the Southland, tangle next in either the CIF semi-finals or finals. CIF preliminaries get going next Saturday, with semi-finals on May 10 and finals on May 17. The pair will probably run their final race in state finals. FOR ANAHEIM fans, there other varsity events brought momentary excitement and points for the small Colonist squad. During the rain, which pelted down steadily during the later half of the meet, Ira Webber tied for a second place spot in the 880, after Anaheim fielding a team for the first time in the Mid-Cities spring tennis series, yesterday swamped the defending championship Fullerton Tennis club, by a decisive 11 to 3 score, as Anaheim played host on the City park courts. With six teams competing, 14 matches are played against each opposing team with points accumulating for the entire series. Anaheim has one match to play against Huntington Park on the local courts next Sunday with a good chance after yesterday's surprisingly easy victory of taking the spring championship. Tennis fans will enjoy a double-header on Sunday as the Anaheim D team also takes the local courts against the Bell D team, with a final match being scheduled at Inglewood on May 18. Results of the Fullerton vs. Anaheim match, with Anaheim players mentioned first, were: Bob Carlson defeated K. Wade 6-1, 6-3, Julian Martinez lost to J. Henly 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, Jim Webb defeated Dave Hammond 8-6, 6-0, Dan Holden defeated Mervin Breest 6-4, 6-3, Jim Wright defeated George Stephenson 6-4, 6-4, Bob Santabanez lost to B. Anderson 6-1, 6-2, Melva Williams defeated Bessie Peabody 6-1, 6-1, and Mary Flynn defeated Francine Burrill 6-1, 6-1.

He was injured during FOR ANAHEIM fans, there other varsity events brought momentary excitement and points for the small Colonist squad. During the rain, which pelted down steadily during the later half of the meet, Ira Webber tied for a second place spot in the 880, after threatening to win the event from Huntington's great two-lap specialist, Bob Suess. Webber led the event for a lap and a half of the two-lapper; was passed in the stretch by both Suess and Barker of Fullerton; but surged back to lunge over the finish for a tie with Barker. In the 100 yard dash, Carter took his other first place spot of the day; while Kirchman, after having both beaten and tired Carter this season came home in third place behind Swisshelm of Santa Ana. Time was:10.2. In the mile, as Orange's Denbow stormed home in a record-breaking 4:40.4 to slash nearly six seconds off the mark, Anaheim's Dick Reed held off two runners in the stretch to take a third place, behind Stanbridge of Huntington Beach. Anaheim's only other points were collected by Aaron Peralta, who collected a fifth place in the 120 high hurdles. The 880 relay, where Anaheim's team stood good chances of adding points to their total, was passed up by Coach Sam Keith because of the alling Aaron Peralta, the by-then pouring rain and the fact that even a win would have failed to boast their final standing in the meet. Peralta pulled up lame after the high hurdles and was scratched from the lows. FINAL SCORE found the Anaheim thinclad varaity in fifth place in league standings, only two points ahead of Newport Harbor. Scores were: Santa Ana 54½%; Fullerton 47½%; Orange 38; Huntington Beach 26½%; Anaheim 14½ and Newport 12%. Two league records toppled and one was tied in the meet: Carter's probably run their final race in state finals. J.
