Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1962 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Zion Lutheran Wins Church Opener While Magnolia Takes Close Game Church League softball got underway last night at the City park as Zion Lutheran downed the Church of Christ 15-4 in the opener and First Baptist defeated Bethel Baptist 9-5. Floyd Trapp's two out bases loaded home run in the sixth inning, highlighted Zion Lutheran's 12-hit, 15-run barrage. Trapp, Dick Henning and shortstop Dick each collected three safeties for the Lutheran nine to lead their team to victory. Kenny Medows, shortstop Brunts and center fielder Saivers of Church of Christ garnered two hits each, but this proved to be not quite enough as Zion Lutheran capitalized on eight walks and four errors to win going away. The second game was some what less in scoring from the first game. Bill Koch homered twice, while Al Albarian doubled, tripled and homered to lead their First Baptist teammates to a 9-5 victory over Bethel Baptist. Lee Minus homered for Bethel Baptist in the seventh inning. Merchants Win Fullerton Game The Anaheim Merchants whipped Northrop Aircraft 5-0 in the first fullerton League softball game played at Amerige park last night. The Merchants' attack was led by Don Maxson who collected three for three and Stan City League only had one game last night, played at La Palma park, Magnolia Stars took a hard fought battle from Stanton 3 to 2 in keeping with the City League brand of ball for close ball games. Magnolia Stars started the game with a bang as they scored twice in their half of the first inning. Jim Romero led off with a double and scored on Tony Rivera's single to leftfield. Rivera advanced to third on an infield error and scored on Pilo Guadan's fly ball to left field. Guadan hit a homer in the sixth inning to clinch the victory. Stanton scored in the second inning on Jess Velarde's single, advanced on an error and scored on Paul Lemus' single to right. Joe Aguirre tripped to lead off the seventh inning and scored on Joe Munoz's single to left. But Paul Lemus flied out, Gabe Aguirre walked, then Leonard Rodriguez and Mayo Munjica popped up to retire the side and end the ball game.

The mixture of veteran rays and young graduates of the Merchants Win Fullerton Game The Anaheim Merchants whipped Northrop Aircraft 5-0 in the first Fullerton League softball game played at Amerige park last night. The Merchants' attack was led by Don Maxson who collected three for three, and Stan Collack who garnered two for two. The Merchants started scoring in the first inning, as successive singles by Al Brown, Don Maxson and Don Campbell produced the first run of the game. They added two more in the third on a single by Don Maxson and a homer by Don Campbell. They ended the scoring by getting one run in the fifth on a hit, sacrifice, and a single by Stan Constock, and then the last run came in the seventh inning on Don Maxson's third straight hit, a stolen base, and Stan Constock's second hit. Northrop never was in the game, as the Merchants chuckler John Vuksanovich had complete control of the game. Northrop only threatened once, in the sixth inning when Geroge Meanie tripped with two away, but Johnny struck out the next batter for the third out. Vuksanovich allowed Northrop only two hits, as he struck out nine batters and only walked four.

NEEDWAY RACE ARE FROM CALIFORNIA INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A field broke the track qualifying and four times will start Friday in the 36th annual 500-mile race at Indianapolis Motorway. 33 starters averaged 135.504 an hour in the 10-mile qualifiers that ended Monday. The mixture of veteran racers young graduates of the hot and midget circuits wrecked cars in the race preliminaries. There were no additions to the 42 persons killed at the since it opened in 1909. By Bayliss Levrett of Glen-Calif., was seriously hurt. Was May 10 and he immediately announced he was quitting 18 years of racing. On Heath of Northbridge, escaped with cut-lips and dined wrist in the only crash day. His Engle-Stanko special into the retaining wall of northwest turn. At Miller of Glendale was the driver to crack the qualify-record and his smooth ride at it was almost an anti-climate had set a one-lap record 66 miles an hour Saturday qualifying attempt stopped nine trouble. QUALIFYING record had broken successively by Andy Linden of Los Angeles, Fred Agabashian of Albany, Calif., and Bill Vukovich of Fresno, 19 of the 33 qualifiers were Californians. Alberto Ascari of Milan, Italy, driving a V-12 Ferrari, made the starting lineup. Johnny Parsons of Sherman Oaks, Calif., only former "500" winner in the field, also was scheduled to drive a Ferrari, but it didn't suit him and he qualified his 1950 winner, the Jim Robbins Special. Two survivors of wrecks moved into other cars and made the line-up. Tony Bettenhausen of Tinley Park, Ill., who wrecked Lee Wallard's 1951 winner Saturday, qualified a Blue Crown Special. Bobby Ball of Phoenix got into the lineup in the new Ansted Rotary Special after cracking up the Blakely Oil Special in practice. Agabashian kept the pole position the inside spot on the first of the 11 three-car rows, because of his fastest run on the opening day of qualifications. His Cummings Diesel Special is the first Diesel-powered car to head the lineup. Walt Faulkner of Long Beach, who twice held the track qualifying record, couldn't get his car tuned up in time to qualify. Manager Joe Gordon of Sacramento, one of the all-time greats of the American league, says the Pacific Coast league team capable of putting on a sustained drive late in the season will be the pen-nant winner this year. Who might that be? "It's too early to pick a winner. It's going to be a ding-dong battle all the way." Of his own club, tabbed by some to finish in the cellar, of which it is now co-tenant, the former second baseman for Cleveland and the Yanks says: "We do not have a last place team. Furthermore we are the kind of a team that can make a drive. We might even finish at the top. If I had been hitting recently like I did at this time last season we'd either be in first place or a game or two out." Gordon's average is .259, and if he's having trouble swatting that pill, he's not the only one. A look at the statistics indicates there must be lead in the balls this year. FOR EXAMPLE, after 363 games in 1951 there had been 285 home runs in the PC and 1849 runs. In 370 season there have been home runs, 3150 hits runs. Only eight regulars .300 mark. Hank Scheffler, is setting .322, San Francisco's .314, and Hollywood Basgall, .313.

The boys in the press boxes are knocking themselves out trying for some explanation of the sudden dominance of the curvers. Scarcely a day passes but some club is shackled with a one, two or three-hitter. There already has been a no-hitter, a double one-hitter, and so many other brilliant performances — heavy air a curve gets a better lite and breaks just a little more sharply than on a bright, sunny day. Fast ball pitchers proverbially like to work under a cloudbank, though we have heard this hotly disputed. A slow infield cannot help being a boon to a pitcher. It enables his support to reach and make easy putouts on hard-hit balls which would have skipped through for base hits on a sun-baked diamond, as well as slowing up screamers to the outfield, once they land.

In 370 games this season there have been only 163 home runs, 3150 hits and 1543 runs. Only eight regulars are over the .300 mark. Hank Schenz, Oakland infielder, is setting the pace at .322, San Francisco's Joe Grace, .314, and Hollywood's Monty Basgall, 313. This week San Diego, still entrenched in first place by a three-run margin, hosts Portland. Barring the unexpected, the Padres shouldn't have too much trouble maintaining their top spot. The fireworks should come at Hollywood where the second place Stars entertain third place Oakland. The Stars are sending their top chucker, Johnny Lindell (6-3), to the mound tonight, hoping to get in the winning groove the first game. Oakland's starter is Al Gettel (4-4). Sacramento and Seattle, sharing the cellar 12½ games off the pace, meet on the Solons' home ground and Los Angeles, with a revamped lineup, takes on the Seals at San Francisco. Scarcely a day passes but some club is shackled with one, two or three-hitter. There already has been a no-hitter, a double one-hitter, and so many other brilliant performances—several of them by comparatively obscure workmen—that the suspicion is inescapable that something is going on here. The hitters are getting their lumps. It began in the exhibition games, we recall. Pitchers nobody ever heard of before took turns confounding the game's best-paid sluggers. Little attention was paid at the time, for any expert worth shooting knows that the pitchers always are ahead of the hitters in the spring. Readers were assured it was purely a temporary condition and were guaranteed the situation would sort itself out once the hitters found their eyes. Obviously, the pitchers failed to read it. They're all dreaming of 25 and 20-game seasons and are not interested in axioms. It is customary in cases such as this to haul the baseball manufacturers on the carpet and demand to know what they have done to the official pellet. The only thing is, they always say the same, that they haven't done anything to their product since Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs except to up the price. SO WE'LL PASS that and go on to another possibility—the weather. It seems more promising. This has been an unusually wet spring all around the big league circuit. Games have been rained out in painful numbers, and many have been played when the was damp and the grass soggy and slow. This could help the pitchers. Our information is that in damp, cloudbank, though we have heard this hotly disputed. A slow infield cannot help being a boon to a pitcher. It enables his support to reach and make easy putouts on hard-hit balls which would have skipped through for base hits on a sun-baked diamond, as well as slowing up screamers to the outfield, once they land.
