Teams Go into Over-Time As Hunts and Parkway Win Games In as thrilling a double header as anyone could ask for, last night at City park, Hunt Foods defeated Davies Bakery 1 to 0 in a second game, eight inning thriller. In the opener, the Parkway Inn nine was forced to play nine innings before winning over the hustling Anaheim-Fullerton Cyclone team, 2-0. Hunt Foods gained its victory in the bottom half of the eighth inning when Ed Heintz tripled down the first base line with two away. Knox Boyd, Hunt's catcher, hit a scorer to third, which Del Margens knocked down but was late on the throw to first, Heinz scoring on the play. Ed Farr, Hunt Foods brilliant hurler notched his second straight victory as he allowed three hits, one walk and nine strike outs. Art Altheide continued to pitch brilliant ball when he kayoed 11 men, six hits, no walks. Two of the hits coming in the eighth, with two outs.

Horace Mann Beats Jefferson Horace Mann whipped Thomas Jefferson 17-14 yesterday on the loser's diamond. The Horace Mann attack was led by the Miranda brothers, with Rudy getting two home runs, and Albert getting a home run and a double. Horace Mann scored five runs in the first inning, only to have Jefferson come right back and tie the score in their half of the inning. Mann scored eight more in the second inning, and was never pressed from there on out. The most runs Jefferson could manage in the second inning was six. Horace Mann scored four more in the third and final inning, and it was just too much to overcome by the boys from Jefferson. They scored three runs in their half of the inning. Orange county track and field fans will find the cream of Southland prep thinclads in its "own back yard" tomorrow as finalists in the 1952 CIF Southern Section Track and Field competition meet on the Huntington Beach high school track. Anaheim's Larry Kirchman, after again not being forced to compete against his ace rival, Landon Carter of Orange high, in preliminary or semi-final 440s, must renew the duel tomorrow. In their first and only meeting of the season in Sunset League finals, Carter too his measure handily in a record breaking 49 flat one lapper. Kirchman was caught in 50.2. Both men have posted faster times than the marks for this meet, however, Carter shattering the mark with a 48.9 in CIF preliminary competition two weeks ago at San Diego State. Kirchman has won all his qualifying heats, but has failed to better the 50.2 mark in post season races. His best mark remains an unofficial one lapper run in a relay race at El Monte held early this season where he was clocked variously at times ranging from 49.1 to 48.7. Only other meetings of the two speedsters came in league 100 yard dashes, where Kirchman won the first; the second ended in a dead heat. Last year Kirchman and Carter both went to the state finals and the Anaheim runner was barely edged out of the state championship, while Carter placed fifth. First three place men in each event will go on to the state track finals in the Coliseum next Saturday. The 440, adjudged a two-man contest all season between Kirchman and Carter, took on a triangular aspect during the past week as Don White of Pasadena chased Carter home in 50.2 in CIF prelims at Chaffey last week. All indications are that these thinclads will be the Southland's one-lap representatives in the state meet, with Carter given a slight DELIVERED LOCALLY for a big, roomy sedan, ready to drive.

Luna figures to have his work cut out. The power hitting Angels counter with Bill Moisan, a right-hander. Each hurler has only one loss with his five wins. At San Francisco, the Seattle Rainiers send Steve Nagy, 31-year-old lefthander, against the Seals as last year's champions try to improve their seventh place position. Steve appears to be on his way to the best season since 1949 when he won 15 and lost 14 for San Francisco. To date he's -5-2. HOME RUNS by Max West, the league's top distance clouter, and Ron Northey, a recent addition from the Chicago Cubs, gave Los Angeles the victory over San Diego. It was a home run parade before a ladies day turnout of 11,924. Murray Franklin hit for the circuit in San Diego's sixth frame and Ray Perry followed with another. Three bases on balls in succession in the last of the ninth pushed across two runs for the winning Sacramento Solons as they tripped Oakland. With one out, Joe Gordon and Ed Roberts singled and then came the three walks. Loyd Christopher, Oakland outfielder, crashed into the wall in the eighth as he caught a long fly. He was carried from the field with a sprained right ankle. Hollywood jumped into a three-run lead in the first inning and was never topped.

Buena Park turned in two double plays, including a dilly by the left-fielder to the first baseman, when an Owl baserunner ventured too far off first base on a flyball to the field.

The mighty giant Ursus (Buddy Boer) wrestles in the arena with a maddened bull, to save Lygia, tied to a stake. Hundreds of captive Christians driven into the Circus Maximus, to be torn apart by ravenous lions. The beautiful slave girl dies with the master she loves (Leo Genn).

The man responsible for the most it is that patriarch of Orange County baseball, Francis "Pep" Mono of Fullerton Gregg, currently the leading catcher in the PCL with a sensational 7-0 record including a no-hitter, had no plans for returning to the diamond wars till Lemonk him to one side last winter convinced him there was still in the old soup-bone—life and not of winning games. Lemonk have a knack at handling Gregg, for it was he who first made a pitcher out of Gregg 10 years ago when Gregg was just strapping kid who had never gone out for baseball at Anaheim high school. Gregg began hurling Sunday ball for Lem-Fullerton merchants. From there he jumped to Brooklyn where he was a heavy winner in the war years and for seven seasons afterward, the latter which were spent with Pittsburgh. Lemonk is the man who showed Del Crandall, the kling young receiver of the Son Braves, now in the Army, finer points of the game.

Fishing News Angling has been fair to good in several areas fished by local rod and reel enthusiasts during the past week, and a general improvement of fishing conditions is indicated, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. In this area the following streams have been stocked by the Fish and Game commission and should prove the top angling spots: San Gabriel River (west fork) in Los Angeles county; Jenks Lake, Arrowbar Lake and Santa Ana river in San Bernardino county; Upper Sespe river, Howard creek, Matilija creek, Matilija reservoir and Matilija creek (north fork), in Ventura county. Heres a rundown of some of the other streams: Good catches of trout have been reported at Arrowhead on spinners baited with worms. While at Big Bear, fair to good catches of blue gill and crapple have been made on Li-cut and worms. A few trout have been picked up on salmon eggs. In the Inyo-Mono areas trout fishing has been slow in higher elevations because of cold water, but in general quite a few catches have been reported. Bait and spinner fishing has been best. It is still too early for flies. Small streams from Line Pine north are reported in good condition. Some have been planted two or three times. Streams in the vicinity producing the best results are Tuttle, Lone Pine, Hogback, Symmes, Independence, Oak, Bairs, Goodale, Taboose, Birch, Big Pine and Shepherd. Anaheim Tennis Notes Anaheim tennis fans are looking forward to one of the finest displays of net talent to be seen locally in years as semi-finals and finals of the first Anaheim closed tennis championships are played tomorrow and Sunday on the City park courts. Finals in all seven events will take place from 1:00 to 5:00 on Sunday afternoon, with gold statuettes and medals being presented to winners and runners-up at 5:00. Matches during the week have developed some real battles as favorites have been extended to the limit to survive some of the opening rounds. Bob Carlson, president of the Anaheim Tennis club, was forced into a two-hour tussle before turning back the challenge of Bob Rosborough 8-10, 6-2, 6-1. Carlson then went on to defeat Sam Bogoshian 6-0, 6-3, to gain the round of four where he has to play Ron Brandon this afternoon. Brandon had defeated Jim Webb 6-0, 6-4, and Floyd Baker 6-1, 8-6, in his quarter of the draw. In the lower half Glen Lehmer took a well-played match from Dick Hanson 6-2, 6-1; while Wes Warwick gained a default from Julian Martinez who became ill and had to quit with the score 4-2 against him in the first set. Carlson also teamed with Jim Wright to go into the semi-finals of the men's doubles with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Bob Hoskins and Jim Webb. In the junior event Dean Stokes won an easy victory over Merle where he was a heavy winner in the war years and for seven seasons afterward, the latter which were spent with Pittsburgh. Lemon is the man who showed Del Crandall, the liking young receiver of the Lion Braves, now in the Army, finer points of the game. Bob Ross, who was a south-pitcher with the Washingtonators when called into the servicethis spring, and most impor- t of all, he helped bring along Lemon, the Cleveland pitching it, when Lemon (Bob that is, relation) was still a strug- infielder. Lemon fielded some pretty Sunday ball games during the for Fullerton when such no- nies as Eddie Stewart now of the Mago White Sox, Eddie Bock-of Sacramento, and Bob Lemraced the Merchant lineup. Those days, Crandall, still in school, was just a second-g receiver for them. Just much the new rubber foot-has been accepted in popu- was indicated the other day in the Sunset league followed head of many other prep cir- in adopting the rubber oval next fall, replacing the tradi- tional leather ball. The rubber job will not absorb moisture nearly as much and thus will be much easier to kick and pass, and will better averages in both these departments, but we wonder of the rubber ball will not be fumbled more frequently. Perhaps this is just a notion of ours. The makers of the rubber balls would scoff at us for uttering it. But we will wait for next fall to see. We are curious to see if the trend towards rubber playing equipment spreads to other sports. It could mean rubber basketballs. Warwick gained a default from Julian Martinez who became ill and had to quit with the score 4-2 against him in the first set. Carlson also teamed with Jim Wright to go into the semi-finals of the men's doubles with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Bob Hoskins and Jim Webb.
