Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Kwikset and Robertshaw-Fulton Win High Scoring Softball Games In two industrial league encounters at La Palma park last night Kwikset Locks took the opening 17 to 6 from Chiksan Tool of Brea. Robertshaw-Fulton continued its winning ways as the team chalked up its fourth straight league victory by overpowering Real Gold 16-7. Chiksan playing without the services of their regular pitcher "Crack" Sharp, threw Vernon Ruther against the Hornets, he gave up 10 saves and walked 10 men. Carter Roundtree homered in the second inning to highlight the evening's performance. "Robble" Robinson banged out three for four to drive in six Hornet runs and scored three times himself. Hornet first sacker Walter Schmidt doubled in the fourth to clean the bases as he drove in three runs and later scored himself. Chiksan outhit Kwikset 13 to 10, with Jack Ruther getting three for three and Herb Barlow, Vernor Ruther and Bob Ruther each picking up two safties each.

Eight errors by the Julcemen also contributed to the mounting score. George Vierra's two singles led the Robertshaw men at the plate. Ray Hustón and Ed Stoffel each singled to drive in runs during their half of the first inning. Robertshaw came on again to score eight runs in the fifth inning on Vierra's single five bases on balis, two errors and Vierra's second single of the inning. This victory put Robertshaw-Fulton farther on top of the league as they now have a 4-0 record. Tonight at the City park the City League will go into action with Stanton against Cyclones in the 7:15 encounter and Davies Bakery will take on Alex Tamale in the second game.

Don't Drive Thesz vs. Leone: Dachshund Breeder vs. 'Nobility' for TV Championship Thesz vs. Leone: Dachshund Breeder vs. 'Nobility' for TV Championship LOS ANGELES — For weeks and weeks, it may be disclosed, resident men have sought to ignore the matter, or at least evade the thought, but the fact remains that tonight 15,000 or more people will pay around $70,000 to witness a wrestling show. No one twisted their arms to do this, and in the early rush, some of these people all but fought for the privilege of paying $20 for a pair of ringside seats. The affair will be staged at Gilmore Field, ordinarily the home of the Hollywood baseball club. The promoter, Cal Eaton, discovered that the magnitude of the thing was such that his Olympic auditorium, which can accommodate but 10,000 souls, was too small. So tonight comes the climax of more than a year of heated arguments for these peculiar patrons of vaudeville — pardon, wrestling: Lou Thesz, of St. Louis, who claims to be the world champion in 44 states, and Baron Michèle Loepe, Italy's gift to the trade, and television. THE CALIFORNIA Athletic commission, in solemn conclave, voiced its blessing. The thing, said the members, could be billed as a match, instead of an exhibition. The winner will be recognized as world champion not only by the commission, but by the National Wrestling Alliance, just whatever this may mean. No doubt about it; the winner will be the local TV champion. Unfortunately, the TV audience will have to pay to see their hero this time. There'll be no TV. Thesz weighs 230 pounds, roughly 100 less than his manager and rassler of another era, Ed (Strangler) Lewis. He is presented along the wrestling circuit as a "legitimate" grappler, scoring royal titles, gorgeous curls and outlandish anties. The swarthy Baron is the opposite. He is an exponent of the hip-pop/home school, a man with a flair for flowing robes. He also affects a horse tail hairdo. The Baron claims nobility from a title bequeathed by some uncle. Thesz can claim a measure of royalty, too. He breeds pedigree dachshunds. Maybe Angels Have Finally Come to Life Look for Los Angeles, loaded for bear through the courtesy of the parent Chicago Cubs, to climb several rungs up the Pacific Coast league laded this week. The fourth place Angels expect to advance at the expense of bottom-rung Sacramento. They have, in fact, already gained a full game on loop-leading San Diego by downing the Solons last night 4-3. Los Angeles took six games out of seven in its first series with Sacramento and the club's strength has recently been bolstered by Lou Brinkoff at third. Walt DuBiel on the ground. Anaheim High Baseball Team Nosed Out, 2-1 A seventh inning single when the bases were loaded spelled the margin of victory yesterday as the Anaheim high baseball squad narrowly dropped a Sunset league game to Huntington Beach, 2-1, on the Olier field. Friday the Colonists meet Fullerton on the Indian field. Feeble hitting on the part of Colonist batters, saw outfielder Val Weihorn the only batter any where near form as he accounted for two of the four Anaheim hits. Steinborn and Ramella got the only other two hits of the day. Oiler batters collected six hits. An even-steven tilt most of the way, Huntington scored first on a fifth inning single, sacrifice and single. Anaheim pulled up even in the sixth as Steinborn singled, stole second and scored on Wiehorn's single. With the ball game all tied up at 1-1 going into the seventh and final inning, Huntington batters drew a walk, were able to sacrifice the runner to second, went to third on catcher Herrera's high toss to second and came home on a hit down the middle. Colonist hurler Dick Ramella was charged with the loss. The game brought the Colonist season league record to four wins and three losses.

They have, in fact, already gained a full game on loop-leading San Diego by downing the Solons last night 4-3. Los Angeles took six games out of seven in its first series with Sacramento and the club's strength has recently been bolstered by Lou Brinkopf at third, Walt Duelbiel on the mound and Hon Norrthey and Bob Usher in the outfield. Add to this the recovery of sparkplug Chuck Connors and the incarnent arrival of pitcher Fred Baczewski and you have an array of better than fair fresh talent. The Solons have won but a single series all season. The Cherubs' chances of soaring are enhanced by the fact that San Diego is engaging second place Oakland and third place Hollywood is meeting Seattle, a club with more stuff than its seventh place position indicates. IT WAS CONNOR'S fly deep to right field in the eighth that scored Gene Baker with the Angels' winning run last night. The evening also produced a couple of firsts: Bobby Usher's first Angel hit—a two-run homer; and Don Watkins' first pitching win of the year. Jim McKeegan homered for the losers in the second. It was Lefty O'Doul night in Oakland. The San Diego manager got a TV set from the fans, one gate for arguing with an umpire and his boys took a 3-1 licking from the Acorns. At Portland, San Francisco beat the Deavers 3-1. Hollywood at Seattle was rained out.

Nice plug Orange high's great quarter-miler, Lanny Carter, got when an LA pm sheet ran a large action shot of him t'other day... Carter deserves all the kudos, however — he's proving himself one of the all-time greats in prep track, and he still has another season to go ... Those who have followed his progress closely this year believe he can yet develop to where he can be running 48 flat or even better on a consistent basis by the time he's a senior in '53 ... He'll be favored to follow his CIF triumph of last weekend with another first at the state meet at LA's Coliseum this coming Saturday ... Anaheim's Larry Kirchman, who had the misfortune to come along the same period as Carter—any other years he would be drawing all the accolades for his brilliance — will be gunning for at least another second in the state biggie, and it is even within the realm of possibility that he could topple Carter, who some sideliners feel is now past his peak ... Such a happening would be the upset of the prep spike season and would wind up Kirchman's high school career in the proverbial "blaze of glory." Speaking of Carter, he was elected student body president of Orange high the other day for the school year beginning next fall, and this, since Carter only transferred to Orange last September, What with the Olympic trials, the National AAU meet, and several others coming up in the next month, the menu for Southland track fans was already attractive enough, but now with the Comppton Invitational officials having arranged a John Barnes-Mal Whitfield, 800 meters race for their slate June 4, the outlook has all the track bugs, including this department, fairly drooling in anticipation ... Our main gripe about those annual magnificent Coliseum Relays is one you'll never hear from the Metropolitan press, yet we believe it is one shared by a large number of residents of Orange county and the other outlying districts ... It is that the program is simply too long when the City high school varsity finals are tossed in with all the open events — not too long for Angelenos who have ample time to sit out the entire terrace but extended card and still hit the sack well before midnight; but tor those who must look forward to from a half-hour to hur or even two-hour drive home—it is far too lengthy ... Considering the number of competitors and various officials involved, the program is run off in amazingly quick fashion, but from the suburbanites point of view, an agenda of strictly open events would be just right in length ... We realize it is a great thrill for those high school kids to have the chance to perform in front of 40 or 50 thousand, and that it hikes the gate considerably, but if the prep events were all out of the way by the opening of the open events at 8 DARK HORSE ENTRY—Governor Earl Warren of California is pictured with his dark horse entry which failed to qualify in the 25th annual Calveras county jumping frog jubilee at Angels Camp, Calif. The event, made famous by a Mark Twain story, was won with a leap of 14 feet, six inches. (AP photo) Fishing News NEWPORT HARBOR — What makes the difference between a good fishin' season and a bad fishin' season? One Newport Harbor Skipper says it all depends on the currents, an' y'know, he makes a lot of sense! The way he explains it, there are billions of tiny bug-like things floating around in the ocean, and they don't have any way to move, except where the currents take them. This year, they're apparently spending the summer at Newport Harbor. Anchovies think these little bugs are the fillet-mignon of the sea. They follow them all over the ocean, wherever the currents take them. Naturally, the game fish like the albacore, yellowtail and white sea bass don't let the anchovies get too far away. To a game fish, a nice dinner of anchovies is the number one item on the menu. demand quality and valuein Sunny Brook BRAND NOW $4.49 4/5 QT.
