Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Alex Tamale Squeezes Out 2-1 Victory over Anaheim Merchants The Alex Tamale men last night defeated the Anaheim Merchants 2 to 1 behind the two hit pitching of their new hurler Pela Guadan. The game was played at the City park. The Merchants scored first in the opening frame on Don Maxson's base on balls, Frank Porex' single, and a run down squeeze play on Perez, Maxon coming home on the play. The Tamale crew threatened in their half of the inning as Roy Pina bunted safe for a single and was followed by Sam Morales via a walk, both advanced on a wild pitch, then Johnny Vuksanovich, Merchant hurler, bore down and retired the next three batters in order, striking out Stan Comstock and Rich Morales and forcing Bill Allhouse to pop up to Roger Pannier at thrid base. The bottom half of the fifth, Alex struck hard for two runs to go ahead 2 to 1. Junior Perkins filed to center only to have the fielder drop the ball for a two base error, then Bill Morales singled to center, Perkins scored from second and Morales went to second as the fielder bobbled the ball, Pete Guadan walked, Roy Pina sacrificed and Morales scored on a two base error by Ed Hielefeld, Merchant second base man. This proved to be winning truly. The Merchants, threatened in the seventh as Roger Pannier beat out an infield single, advanced to Horace Mann Trounces BF Horace Mann's "A" team beat Benjamin Franklin's "A" team 20-3 yesterday on the winner's diamond. This lopsided score was sweet revenge for the boys from Horace Mann, as Benjamin Franklin is the only team that has beat Horace Mann this year in baseball. Lupe De la Cruz was on the mound for the Horace Manners, and he had the boys from Franklin eating out of his hand all afternoon. Robert Godoy was the big stick for the Mann team, as his three hits in five times at bat drove in a total of five runs, and he scored three himself. Highlight of the game was consecutive triples by Lupe De la Cruz, Robert Godoy and Marshall Shirk, which accounted for four runs in the fifth inning. Preceeding the triples there were two walks issued. Horace Mann had three big innings, the second, in which they scored six runs, the fourth in which they scored six runs, and the fifth inning when they scored seven. Benjamin Franklin scored their first run in the third inning, when they got their only base hit of the game. Perez walked, and Rudy Lopez followed with a booming hitter — Gregg tops the PaCoast league tossers after several weeks of campaigning. He's on the chief reasons the Oaks pressing for the lead after comeback with the Oakland C.

He's on the chief reasons the Oaks pressing for the lead after comeback with the Oakland C. The Merchants, threatened in the seventh as Roger Pannier beat out an infield single, advanced to second on a wild pitch, but died their, as pinch hitter Bob Muckenhaler popped up to the catcher to retire the side and end the ball game.

Hack Hopes for Strong Club in Padre Series Its the league leading San Diego Padre club that invades Wright Field this week for a seven-game Joist with Stan Hack's Angels and it is just possible that the Angels will be able to field the strongest lineup of the 1932 card against Lefty O'Doul and his gang. First, the Angels' sluggish third-baseman of last year, Leo Brinkopf, has been optioned back by the Chicago Cubs and should be in the lineup by Wednesday or Thursday. His big bat, which was responsible for 25 homers and 93 runs-batted-in, take up much of the offensive slack that has been damaging Hack's hearties.

ST. LOUIS, MO. — Denying he ever criticized a fellow ball player in print, Ty Cobb insists in this weeks issue of The Sporting News that he was only trying to help baseball, not hurt it, when he authored his recent article "They Don't Play Baseball Anymore," in Life Magazine. In a letter to his longtime friend, J. G. Taylor Spink, publisher of the baseball weekly, Cobb declares, "I did not turn on the game. Some have said I gave Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio a blast. That's untrue. I have carefully read the story end my reference to them is in no way a blast. I acknowledge their ability potentially and it was with a sense or regret that I pointed out what they failed to do." The Georgia peach especially deplores failure to use the stolen base and sacrifice as offensive weapons in today's strategy. In one season, he points out, Clyde Milan stole 88 bases for the Washington Senators while in another year Eddie Collins stole 81 bases for the Philadelphia Athletics. By comparison, only two major league clubs stole more than 80 bases last year, the White Sox with 99 and the Dodgers with. "AND DOESNT it astound you," Ty asks, "that the four highest salaried players ever in baseball, stars like Williams, DiMaggio, Ralph Kiner and Stan Musial, who should be leaders and developers, stole a total of only seven bases last year, Musial four, Kiner two, Williams one and DiMaggio none? "No play can be more important than a sacrifice at times, Cobb continues. But last year 66 top players failed to sacrifice a single time and 61 others sacrificed only once." Ty recalls that 12 major leaguers batted .400 or better during his heyday, yet only one player in the last 20 years reached that figure, Williams in 1941 "when he was anxious to make good." Cobb concedes that the home run has a role in modern strategy, but he insists it is being overplayed.

How about the White Sox last year? Their attendance increased by more than 500,000. It was not the home run that attracted the crowds, but the White Sox type of baseball that was played in my time—the stolen base, the sacrifice and the squeeze."

SPOKANE (AP) — An amputees' softball team, with one-legged men in the infield, one-armed men in the outfield, made its debut in a regular city league last night and got licked 11-6. The amputees, most of them war veterans, had a rough time with ground balls but did well enough at the plate. Far from discouraged, they agreed with Lee Hargis who said: "We'll win plenty of games when we get used to this." Hargis left his leg on a Korean battlefield. He can't maneuver well enough to play yet but he yelled himself hoarse coaching at first base. The limbless ball players, entered in the Class C Sunset league as the Amputees Athletic association, were organized by Jim Larkin, 21-year-old ex-Marine who lost his arm to a communist sniper in South Korea. Larkin got their names from an artificial limb dealer and the Veterans Administration. A local club put up $900 for franchise fees, bats and flashy red uniforms. Larkin batted in their first run with a sharp one-armed single. He was his team's fourth outfielder, one of three concessions the league made. The amputees are also allowed to lead off base—against the rules in softball—and can use pinch runners for legless players who reach first. FOR MOST of the players, like "Hiking Ike" Peterson, it was their first ball game since they lost a limb. Peterson was one of Gonzaga university's greatest halfbacks and played for the Detroit Lions in the National football league after graduation in 1935. He lost a hand in a lumber accident six years ago. He was a defensive star in right field last night. Lively Baseball Makes Pitchers Wary, Takes Longer to Play Game These Days By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP) — A baseball fan who has been out of the country much of his adult life notes that games are running much longer than they did in his distant youth and wonders if we can supply him with a ready explanation. With the assistance of Commissioner Ford Frick, who sat through many of the swifties back in the days when he was a baseball writer, we can at least confuse the issue. "It is a different game," says the commissioner, not entirely coining a phrase. "Back in the days of the dead ball the pitchers could afford to wheel the ball in there. They didn't have to be so cautious and so threw fewer balls. If a pitcher had a two or three run lead he felt fairly safe. They weren't going to hit a home run off him—only singles. "Now, when theyre all looking for the big inning the pitcher is fighting for his life all the time. He knows that no lead is really safe, so he takes his time and works carefully on every batter. He can't afford to serve up anything good." In the old days teams were always playing for one run. They catch by Peterson because the catcher's glove touched the bat. The overflow crowd of 1,500 seven times saw one-armed Bob Howard haul a fly down to left, flip the ball in the air, drop his glove, catch the ball and fire it in. Howard is an ex-paratrooper. took more chances on the bases and, of course, many of them were thrown out. That made tor faster innings, too. It's a different game." THE FASTEST nine-inning game on record—51 minutes—was played between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phils on Sept. 28, 1919. That is less than half the time it takes to complete an average game nowadays, but Frick hastens to point out that the contest which set the speed mark was scarcely a normal one. That was the last day of the season, with nothing at stake, and they used to like to get them over. I'm pretty sure Alexander was one of the pitchers in that game. He probably didn't throw a ball, all strikes." As it happens, the commissioner witnessed the second fastest game. It was played Sept. 26, 1926, between the mighty New York Yankees and the St. Louis Browns and was zipped through in 50 minutes. That permitted almost precisely six minutes for each inning, including the change-over. "I can tell you about that one," Frick said. "I remember that Sam Jones was pitching for the Yanks. Everybody got into the game, including the coaches by mutual consent of the managers. Everybody was hitting and running the bases as he pleased and having a wonderful time. The box score was a beauty." Hiking Ike" Peterson, it was their first ball game since they lost a limb. Peterson was one of Gonzaga university's greatest halfbacks and played for the Detroit Lions in the National football league after graduation in 1935. He lost a hand on a lumber accident six years ago. He was a defensive star in night field last night. The Northwest Alloys team kicked up five runs in the second running when the amputee infielders took some spills and made four errors. "It if was my left leg it would be O.K." explained shortstop Frank Greco. "But it's my right." Greco stopped a German shell France in World War II. The umpires showed no favoritism—they once ruled out a fine. FOX LOADI Last Day-Doors Open 6:45 P.M.
