ANAHEIM GOLF FIELD DAY SET Last week saw the end of the Anaheim Golf Association's 14th annual golf tournament. John Ganahl winning the first flight from Vern Packard, they both fought hard for the spot and had to go two extra holes to find out who would be the top man. They both came in with 74. In the second flight Ray Van Wagoner took it from Bud Stahlman by default as Bud was unable to play on account of an injury. The third flight has to be decided yet as John Shea and Al Riuteel have to play this week.

Rams on TV LOS ANGELES, AP—Four road games of the Los Angeles Rams professional football team will be televised via microwave relay to the Southern California area.

The Magnolia Cobras defeated the Cypress VFW, 1 to 0, in a softball game at La Palma park last night. The game was a pitcher's duel between Jody Bracamonte, of the Cobras, and Ralph Alvarado, of Cypress VFW. Each team collected three hits, but in the third inning, Fred Magdalene, Magnolia first baseman, got to first on an error by the opposing pitcher, Ralph Gonzales then singled in the runner, which turned out to be the winning tally. Leading hitter for the winning Cobras was third baseman Jim Ramaro who collected two of his team's three hits. The second game of the night was won by Cypress Merchants in a torrent from Alex Tamales. Hornsby Canned ST. LOUIS (UP)—Rogers Hornsby was fired today as manager of the St. Louis Browns by owner Bill Veeck and Marty Marion was immediately named to replace him. Veeck, in making the announcement through the Browns' front office here, said he was relieving Hornsby for the good of the club. Hornsby had a three year contract with the Browns but Veeck made a settlement with him, the terms of which were not announced. Hornsby took over the Browns this season after managing the San Diego club to a Pacific Coast League championship last year. Veeck, who flew cast last night because he was tired of "worrying about the ball club by remote control," took the action in Boston. There had been persistent re-ports that Hornsby and Veeck were not seeing eye to eye. Veeck said today he thought he had picked the right man but he obviously had been wrong and was admitting his mistake. He singled out no particular instance which led him to make the move.

TEXANS FETE HOGAN ON EVE OF U.S. OPEN DALLAS (UP) — Texas feted Ben Hogan last night as one of golf's greatest competitors. Two days from now they'll "fade" him in one of golf's greatest gambles—the United States open tournament. The grim little man from Fort Worth was inducted into Texas' Hall of Fame at a big dinner last night. Hogan's rivals don't like to concede that Ben can win the title for the third straight year and a total of four. But they find it hard to pick against him. The tournament tourists readily admit that luck counts for almost as much as skill and experience. It is especially true in the national open, where the stakes and the pressure are greater. They figure the laws of chance will be against Hogan. Only Willie Anderson and the great Bobby Jones ever have won the open four times.

Ken Raffensberger, ace southpaw of the Cincinnati Reds, hurled four one-hitters in the last four seasons. OAKS PLAYER FRACTURES ARM—Eddie Lake grimaces in pain as Oako Manager Mel Ott (foreground) looks at his fractured arm which was accidentally kicked by Sacramento runner Ed Roberts, as Lake attempted to tag out Roberts at second base. Lake probably will be out for the remainder of the PCL season. Anaheim High School Athletic Picture Looks Rosy Next Year As Anaheim high school dropped the curtain on school activities this week, coaches and sports fans predicted an even better season for the Colonists next year. In at least three major sports, the Colonist will probably assume the role of title favorite and in the fourth are rated "team-to-beat." In basketball a full contingent of lettermen, including veterans Bill Ames, Dave Moody, Gayle Herbel, Dennis Ryan and Dean Philpott return with reinforcement up from this year's championship Bee team including Fred Frank and Bob Stewart. In baseball a similar situation prevails where Coach John Wallin needs only a good catcher to field a full team of veterans all of whom played regularly on this year's league runner-up team. IN TENNIS Coach Bill Cook lost four of his nine man varsity squad but is deep in seasoned JV replacements that make them favorites to take their fifth straight league title. In football, despite having only six lettermen, Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke is expected to put out a strong team built around last year's sophomore sensation, Anron Peralta. Jim Roberts and a con- verted end, Dan Philpott, will probably work with him in the backfield. Coach John Wallin will have to build his line around tackle Bob DeGroff, guard Bob Padilla and center Ray Bokelman, all regulars in last year's defensive team. As defending champions, they, accordingly are assuming the team-to-beat role. IN SWIMMING, new coach Doug Allen, may be able to shape up a team that can do as well or better than this year's third place squad. Coach Sam Keith will apparently be in much the same place in league track and field competition next year as this with a handful of stars that include dashmen Mickey Gouyd and Bill Walker, and milers Dick Reed and Bruce Horner. Water polo, to be added to this year's league sports, and cross-country are strictly unknown qualities. Coaching assignments next year will be much the same as this year with but three changes. Bill Hunstock, this year's Bee basketball coach, will take over the varsity this year; and give up swimming coaching chores to Doug Allen. Bill Hicks, end football coach, will take over Cee and Dee basketball squads. Quit Rubbing Your Eyes, Folks, The Padres Are Still Up There Quit Rubbing Your Eyes, Folks, The Padres Are Still Up There By The Associated Press It's time for folks to start thinking of San Diego as pennant material. Ever since Lefty O'Doul's Padres assumed the lead in the Pacific Coast league in mid-April, observers have been predicting—and confidently waiting—the club's fall. The consensus was, and still is in many quarters, that the Padres are strictly a second division outfit who reached the top by luck and have stayed there by playing over their heads. Here's how San Diego "fell" last weekk: The team won four out of seven games from Los Angeles, the club several PCL managers have tabbed as the team to beat for the pennant. Against the Angels, the Padres pulled five double plays, four in one game. They twice executed double steals, one accomplished by a fake dash off first that drew a throw to second and brought in the winning run. Lou Stringer, venerable third baseman, pulled at least five fouls out of the laps of the bleacher fans. Young Dick Faber pulled down an Angel drive ticketed for the bleachers by the rugged method of running full tilt into the fence. Though fourth in team batting at .248 — Los Angeles leads at .268—the Pads have been consistent at getting hits in the clutch, when it counts. In the pitching department they have two eight-game winners in Jack Salveson, 8-4, and Guy Fletcher, 8-6. Other standouts are Willie Luna, 7-3, and big Al Benton, probably the circuit's top relief artist, 6-1. ON THE LAM with Jim Lamhofer We wonder sometimes about those metropolitan newspapers and their news evaluation. With the Charles-Waicott waltz contest the obvious top story, we didn't expect to find baseball in a prominent position in the sports sections last Friday morning. But while our eye was wandering through the box scores, we suddenly became aware that Anaheim's Hal Gregg had shut out Sacramento with one lone hit. This seemed to us to be quite an accomplishment, since the guy had already recorded a seven-inning no-hitter earlier in the year, and since this was Gregg's tenth win against only two defeats in the young season. However, nary a word could be found in any of the LA dailies commenting on Gregg's achievement. We just couldn't understand it. Yet let someone in that great farce known as wrestling, such as Baron Leone or any of the other actors, develop a new hold, and the word is splashed gleefully in big black headlines. All right—so we're bitter. THINGS WE WISH-we-knew department ... How many fans stayed away from last week's Compton Invitational because of the last-minute news that John leadership in the county legion baseball league share as a natural, with the standing their best chance in of upsetting Fullerton's appearance which has ridden monotonous year after year to league...

But now the Whittier club reneging on the agreement the team is ready to play the name of whichever town area has citizens willing to tribute funds to permit them to the trials at New York. Most of the players on the tet, including such men as Americans Ed Iiisley, Bob Jen, and Ace Burns of Fullerton are Orange county products way. Those who will support them will be making a sound mention in publicity for their municipality, for this team will be as co-favorites with El Sean Swim club to win the trial; the right to represent the borough international water polo petition. And the publicity thus would be worth many times cost of financing the trip to York. Though tourn in team batting at 248—Los Angeles leads at 268—the Pads have been consistent at getting hits in the clutch, when it counts.

Other standouts are Willie Luna, 7-3, and big Al Benton, probably the circuit's top relief artist, 6-1. The Padres may crack, but they've shown no signs of doing it yet. SEATTLE'S BOYD LEADS COAST LEAGUE BATTERS SAN FRANCISCO, UP — Seattle first sacker Bob Boyd, batting at a 348 clip for 48 games, paced Pacific Coast league regulars through Sunday. Jack Graham of the circuit leading San Diego Padres headed the runs batted in division with 45 in 69 contests. Veteran outfielder Max West of Los Angeles refrained home run batting honors with 15 in 53 games.

THINGS-WE-WISH-we-knew department . . . How many fans stayed away from last week's Compton Invitational because of the last-minute news that John Barnes had been scratched because of illness . . . The stadium was jammed as it was . . . We agree with Mal Whitfield that he loafed his last 220 and could have easily smashed the world 880 record had he had Barnes to press him or had he known his time at the 660 mark. Before you adopt the idea that Pincus Sober, US Olympic track and field chairman, is a complete stinker for forcing Bob Boyd to withdraw from last weekend's Armed Forces championships at Long Beach, we suggest you read Maxwell Stiles' intelligent defense of Mr. Sober's position in Monday's LA Mirror.
