Real Gold and P & L Teams Put Away Big Softball Upsets Two surprising results were recorded in last night's Industrial League softball play, when Real Gold upset the favored Kwikset nine, 6-5, in a wire to wire thriller. The big surprise of the evening was when P & L Transmission, a team badly beaten last week by Kwikset, sprang their invisible weapon and took Chicksan in the second game at La Palma park, 5 to 0. In the first game, it was Ralph Anderson, Real Gold catcher, who stole the lime light as he collected three for three to score twice and drive in two runs. Ralph Kisner, third sacker, also collected two singles. Ray Mallonee, first baseman, hit a homer in the second inning. Kwikset picked its runs on Boozel's single, followed by Garcia's triple in the fifth. In the sixth, Metchum walked, Noggles singled and both scored on an error. Five straight walks produced two more runs, as Sims, right fielder, popped up to pitcher to end the inning with bases loaded. Chiksan put men on base in all but one inning, but could not drive across a run. Left fielder Roche collected two of the three hits given up by Salazar, the P & L hurler. Chuck Sharp, Chiksan hurler, allowed only six hits but P & L bunched them for five runs. Tonight the City League goes into action again. Los Alamitos Merchants will meet Stanton Merchants in the 7 o'clock event and Davies Bakery will defend their honor against Koopman's Furniture at the 8:30 game in the City Park.

In addition, the Stars will play the San Francisco Seals in a baseball game. LAST NIGHT Hollywood moved into second place, 2½ games behind San Diego, by downing the Seals 9-3. Bonus baby Patlitt ran into only occasional trouble in pitching his second win. It was the first time he's gone the route. Hollywood bombarded three Seal hurlers for 14 safeties. Three runs in the first two innings, including a homer by Lavigne, gave Los Angeles a 3-2 win over Oakland. The Oaks made their points in the ninth on a walk, a triple by Lloyd Christopher, an error and flyout. At San Diego the Sacramento Solons pounded two pitchers for 12 hits and a 7-2 victory. Glenn Elliott held the Padres to six hits in posting his third win. San Angels Expecting Chuck Connors to Return to Action As Skipper Stan Hack leads his club into Oakland for seven games this week, Angel hopes are high for a much stronger lineup than Hack has been able to field in the last three weeks. First, it is hoped that big Chuck Connors, the slugging first baseman, who has been on the hospital roster since April 13, will be able to resume action. Connors made one pinch hitting appearance last week and aggravated the left shoulder injury but it is thought that additional treatment he received since then has been sufficient. Left handed hitting outfielder Ron Northey, recently purchased outright from the Chicago Cubs, will join the team in Oakland. In event Connors is playing, Max West can return to the outfield and with West, Connors and Northey, Hack can field three portside siege guns to aim for the short rightfield fence in the Oakland park.

West 5th Street at Radio Towers SANTA ANA PHILLIKI 3-831 Colonists Drop Heartbreaker To Fullerton Baseballers, 2-0 It was a short and bitter story for the Anaheim Colonist baseball team as they dropped their third league game of the season to the Fullerton Indians in a game at La Palma park, 2-0. Off to a shaky start, the Colonists played good ball in every inning but the top of the first when two fielding bobbles yielded up the two runs for the invaders, enough to win the encounter. With the ball game only seconds old and two men on base Lupe Gonzales scooped up a bounding grounder and chucked to where first sacker Carl Hatfield had just been to permit the first Fullerton run-to-score. A moment later, on what should have been the out that retired the side, short stop Gayle Herbel bobbled a grounder hit at him, and the second run scored. The Fullerton runs were scored by two boys familiar to football sports fans of the area—Pennington and Hudson. THE REMAINDER of the game went scoreless for both sides as Colonist pitcher Val Weithorn allowed only a four hit total for the game. Anaheim batters, although unable to adequately group their hitting, clouted out six hits with Gayle Herbel, regular big stickman of the club, leading with two for three trips to bat. Gonzales, Steinborn, Herrera and Ramella also each collected a hit. Coach Clare Van Horebeke's JV squad, meanwhile, knocked off the Fullerton JV squad by a 3-0 count. Cookmen Beat Fullerton, Set For CIF Play Bill Cook's Anaheim high tennis squad won the right to represent the Sunset League in CIF playoff matches yesterday afternoon as they pounded Fullerton racketsmen 8-1 on the local courts. Their first round opposition who they'll meet this coming Saturday, will not be announced until later today. The Anaheim netmen were awarded the right to represent the league in playoffs on the basis of their three wins, no loss record this season. They have yet to meet teams from Orange and Newport to clinch another league championship, however. CIF tennis playoffs, done in similar fashion last year, are treated in this manner to enable completion of playoffs before school lets out. Last year's Cook's team won both the loop title and league representative in CIF playoffs, but bowed out in the first early CIF match with La Jolla. YESTERDAY, perhaps fired up by the prospect of being CIF representative for the league should they win, the Colonist netmen decisively beat the Indians; the varsity dropping only the fifth singles match and the JV squad taking a clean sweep of all nine of their matches. Scores D. Hessel (W) def. Morris 6-2, 6-2. Al Clayes to Swim in CIF Finals Friday By again smashing his own school record for the 50 yard free style, Al Clayes was the only member of the three-man Anaheim high swimming team to qualify in the CIF southern section swimming semi-finals held yesterday afternoon in the Long Beach Jordan pool. Finals will be held this Friday in the same pool. Clayes, swimming against the 12 top swimmers in his event in prep Southland circles placed fifth in 25 flat, two-tenths over the old school mark. Class Cee swimmer Tony Zava, swimming in the 50 yard free style, trailed home unplaced after completely missing his turn. He was caught in 29.3 by Coach Bill Hunstock, a respectable mark in normal league competition, nevertheless. Bobby Kinoshita, junior swimmer, moved up from Bee ranks only several weeks ago and who three times shattered his own record marks, also went unplaced in the 100 yard breast stroke. The event was won in a surprising 1.9. Kinoshita's best effort to season has been 1.15. Top Vaulters Will Appear In Coliseum In the history of track and field, there have been only four athletes to top 15-feet in the pole vault. Three of them are competing actively now, and for the first time they will be brought together at the 12th Annual Los Angeles College relays, Friday night, May 16. Announcement was made by Chairman William C. Ackerman, who said that Don Laz and the Anaheim Divotmen Defeat Orange High Anaheim high school golf team on a match from Orange High school golfers yesterday on the fellowick fairways, 30-0. High man for Coach Dick Glovis's young divotmen was Gary laussen who fired a 76. Monday the same squad dropped both ulves of a triangular CIF league set on the same green; losing to hittier by a 30-6 count and to long Beach Poly, 32-4. They hold four win, six loss record in league competition for the season. Herman Wehmeier, pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, was once a star football player for Cincinnati western Hills High School. Florida's tennis team is comprised of six Floridians, one Kenckian and a freshman from Illinois. Entebbe is the capital of the itish Uganda protectorate.

Jim Hirsch, 19-year-old second baseman for the University of Florida baseball team, is the only freshman in the starting lineup. The first foals of the world champion 2-year old pacer, Knight Dream, will appear on the harness racing turf this year. The University of Alabama's varsity tennis coach, C. De La Menardiere, is a former flying hero with the French Air Force. In 63 years of football competition, the Notre Dame gridders have won 399 games, lost 83 and tied 32. In the history of track and field, there have been only four athletes to top 15-feet in the pole vault. Three of them are competing actively now, and for the first time they will be brought together at the 12th Annual Los Angeles College relays, Friday night, May 16. Announcement was made by Chairman William C. Ackerman, who said that Don Laz and the Rev. Bob Richards, both formerly of the University of Illinois; Don Cooper, formerly of Nebraska, are the sky-reaching bamboo artists who will be swinging over that 15-foot ceiling. Richards has the best mark of the trio, 15-feet 7-inches, but Don Las is consistent over 15 feet, and Cooper, after winning the event at San Diego a week ago, then unofficially cleared 15-feet 1½ inches. The pole vault field also includes such 14-feet-plus vaulters as Jack Rowan, formerly of U.S.C. now wearing the Los Angeles Athletic club colors, and Bobby Smith, the Marine who attended San Diego State.
