V.F.W. Takes Close Contest From Cyclones The game between Cypress VFW and Cyclones at the Anaheim City park last night developed into a real pitcher's battle with VFW winning 2 to 0. Ralph Alvarado the winning pitcher for Cypress VFW allowing two hits while Paul Salazar the jogger gave up four hits. Each struckout three. Cypress VFW opened the first inning with two walks, the first being erased by a fielder's choice and followed by Gilbertson striking out. Then came the big blow a three bagger by Walt Seroko driving in two runs and what proved to be the ball game. From then on neither side was able to group hits as the pitching was tight in the clutches and there was aplied support from the pitchers' teammates. Hal Gregg Deal Paying Out All The Way Around By The Associated Press Mel Ott's Oakland Acorns are making menacing gestures toward the leadership of the Pacific Coast league, and it may be that owner Brick Laws made a pennant-winning deal when he sent Hal Gregg to the New York Giants. Gregg, leading the league's pitchers with a 12-3 mark when the deal was made, brought $35,000 cash, catcher Ray Noble and pitchers George Bamberger and Roger Bowman. Right now, it looks like the best deal of the season. Bamberger has won three straight. Last night he blanked the Hollywood Stars, 5 to 0, and brought the Oaks within three games of first place. Bowman, who will pitch tonight, has a 1 and 0 record, and Noble is hitting the ball well and is the No. 1 receiver. Bamberger held the Stars to four hits. Tookie Gilbert, a former Giant, slammed a homer with one on; plus a double and single. A long fly by Noble scored another run. FRED SANFORD allowed San Diego only three hits as Portland inflicted the second straight loss against the Padres, 7 to 0.

The Beavers' Joe Brovia hit safely in his 12th consecutive game, including his 13th home run with one aboard. San Diego, which led the league for many weeks, now is within one game of slipping into third place. Ken Gables pitched a five-hitter to lead Sacramento to a 4-to-0 win over Seattle. Los Angeles' 3-to-0 win over San Francisco shoved the Seals deeper into the cellar. The Sacs capitalized on Seattle errors. Leon Brinkopf's seventh homer, in the eighth inning, gave Los Angeles its margin over the Seals. It was another tough break for Elmer Singleton, top We Will Be CLOSED FRIDAY and SUNDAY JULY 4 and 5 CONE BROS. CHEVROLET Bamberger held the Stars to four hits.

The game will be a renewal of the temestous rivalry between the two classy women softball teams which has seen multi-inning games and no hitters ever the past seasons. Johnna Moore tuned up for the game by poking a home run and a double against theanterey Park team last Tuesday. Game time tonight is 30. Mathias Loooks Like a World Beater for US TULARE, CA—The Bob Mathias story, a small town wonder inscribed in the records of the world, took on another amazing and magnificent chapter today. The next pages will be added this month in the Olympic games in Finland, when handsome, 21-year-old Bob, the world's greatest track and field athlete, collides again with the best of other lands. But first comes the chapter written last night by 21-year-old Mathias, who is undoubtedly Tulare's favorite son and who might well be America's nicest guy. Mathias accomplished these feats: He broke the world record of 7644 points he set in 1950 with a smashing 7825 points. He won the United States championship for the fourth time, something no one else ever did. He won his berth on the U.S. Olympic decathlon team. Today he left with his teammates, New York-Helsinki bound. One is Milt Campbell, an astonishing young athlete himself—18 years old, a high school junior in Plainfield, N.J., and owner of a score bettered in decathlon annuals by only five men, 7055. The other is Floyd Simmons, 29 years old, third to Mathias in 1940 Olympics at London, and Flo Chadwick To Try Catalina Swim Via TV AVALON (P)—Florence Chadwick, two-time conqueror of the English Channel, is poised to tackle "my roughest swim"—the choppy Catalina Channel—to night. The 22-year-old San Diego churner is scheduled to plunge into the unquiet Pacific about 9 p.m. "It should be calmer at night," Miss Chadwick said, as she got out the lanolin and fish-repellent oil. "But I'm not going to wait for a placid sea, as I did on my English Channel swims." She thinks she can cover the 21 miles from the Catalina Isthmus to Cabrillo Beach on the mainland in 16 hours. If she makes good time before the whitecaps start kicking up, she hopes to equal the 15 hours, 40 minutes, mark set by George Young in 1927. Miss Chadwick's main worry was severe skin burns inflicted by a tight new bathing suit in which she took practice swims. "My neck is virtually raw and the bruises won't have sufficient time to heal," she said. "However, my lucky suit has arrived and I think when I turn it inside out and get into that water I'll be all right." The lucky suit she referred to is the one in which she crossed the English Channel both ways. Florence will be paced at intervals by Johnny Weissmuller, who will be aboard an accompanying vessel. Television cameras of KNBH local NBC outlet will be used.

Cypress Anaheim RICHTER SIGNS WITH RAMS—Les Richter (right), all-American guard and linebacker from the University of California, shakes hands with Head Coach Joe Stydahar of the Los Angeles Rams after they came to terms on a 1952 contract. The Rams recently traded 11 players to the Dallas Texans for the 230-pound Richter and other considerations. Contract terms were not announced. the shot put the night before, gave way in the pole vault. CAME THE JAVELIN throw, and two momentous events. Mathias let loose a throw of 193 feet 10% inches that brought the points that broke the world record after only nine events—7531, to be exact. And Simmons, with a mark of kid of 17 who whipped the field in the '48 Olympics and should do it again. Six-foot-two, 200 pounds; Mathias is about 10 pounds heavier than in '48. But he improved all his previous decathlon marks except in the pole vault and 1500 meter run. He was just a shade under them. Some critics complained when Anaheim's Junior Girls' tennis team defeated the Whittier Junior Girls' tennis team handily 6 to 1, to get off to a good start in the first round of the Southern California Junior Tennis League for 1952. In a tournament played yesterday evening on the City park courts, the local feminine net artists dropped only one match out of five to score the impressive team victory. Concentrating their strength in the doubles matches where each win counts two points, the local girls won every match by a one-sided margin. Next week on Wednesday Anaheim's team travels to Monrovia for the second round of the series. RESULTS OF the Whittier matches were: Karen Lenain, Anaheim, won from Doris Langford, Whittier, 6-0, 6-0; Anne Williams, Anaheim, lost to Lynette Lyford, Whittier, 6-3, 6-2; Rita Flynn, Anaheim, won from Iora Anderson, Whittier, 6-4, 6-1; Mary Flynn and Judy Lamori, Anaheim, won from Kathy Bonham and Teddy Samuels, Whittier, 6-3, 6-2. Joanne Kellogg and Judy Debevec, Anaheim, won from Ruth Thompson and Lynette Lyford, Whittier, 6-0, 6-4. BOSTON (AP)—Boston Braves' outfielder-first baseman Earl Torgeson was smarting under a $100 fine today for socking New York Giant catcher Sal Yvars in a Tuesday brand. Yvars was disgusted. the shot put the night before, gave way in the pole vault. CAME THE JAVELIN throw, and two momentous events. Mathias let loose a throw of 193 feet 10% inches that brought the points that broke the world record after only nine events—7531, to be exact. And Simmons, with a mark of 189—8½ to one of 147—8½ by the handicapped Albans, pulled up to within three points of his rival. Up came the 1500 meter run. Mathias was running for more record points. Campbell was already on the Olympic team, and Albans and Simmons were running for the third spot. On the first lap, as the crowd gasped, Albans pulled up. He said he made the dramatic move because he did not feel he would be able to do his best at Helsinki, even had he won out. His total, 6628, brought fourth place. Campbell is a story of his own. His townspeople chipped in to pay his trip to the coast. He barely missed qualifying in the hurdles in the Olympics trials at Los Angeles. An all-state football halfback, his score is sixth to Mathias, Glenn Morris, Hans Sievert, Bob Richards and Heino Lipp, of Russia. He'll meet Lipp in Helsinki. Back to Mathias, national winner in 1948-49-50-52, and the then kid of 17 who whipped the field in the '48 Olympics and should do it again. Six-foot-two, 200 pounds, Mathias is about 10 pounds heavier than in '48. But he improved all his previous decathlon marks except in the pole vault and 1500 meter run. He was just a shade under them. Some critics complained when the International AAU revised Mathias' 1950 record of 8042 points to 7444. So what happens? He breaks the tougher 7444 in nine events and winds up with 7825. Here are his marks set in the wearing, wearying two-night program: 100 meters 10.8; broad jump 23—5%; shot put 49—10.7-8; high pump 6—2¼; 400 meter run 50.8; 110-meter high hurdles 11.6; discus 157—11½; pole vault 12—3¼; javelin 193—10½; 1500 meter run 4:55.3. Bob's 6000 homefolks sat grinning proudly until past midnight. It's an old custom. Bob sent them home happy. It's another old custom. They expect more happy reports from Helsinki.
