Parkway Inn Finally Edged by VFW, 1-0, in 16 Inning 'Marathon' Game In a City league doubleheader at La Palma park last night, Parkway Inn, won from Cypress VFW in 16 innings, 1-0. In the second game the Cyclones beat the Cochas, 4-1. In the first game, Raul Sanchez pitcher for Parkway Inn, let up one-six hit hits in the 16 inning marathon. Sanchez held the VFW hitts from the sixth to the 14th inning, while never being in serious trouble throughout the ball game. On the other hand, Ralph Alvarado, the VFW cuckoo, was in constant danger in the extra innings. The winning run came in the bottom of the 18th, as Bill Gallager singled, Raul Padillo walked, and Ben Marin walked to lead the baseh, but Alvarado then proceeded to get Bill Matill on strike. It then seemed as if he would retire the side without having a run scored, but with a three and two count. Napoles hit a bounding ball to Scheinbayder, the Cypress shortstop, who momentarily hobbled it to let the deciding run score. Leading hitters in the Parkway 10 hit attack were Ben Marin, Lou Delazon and Bill Gallager with two hits apiece. For the VFW, Ray Valencia had half of their hits with three for seven. THE SECOND GAME was in complete reverse of the opener as the Cyclones whipped the Cobras in a fast game, 4-1. Sloppy fielding plus timely hitting gave the Cyclones their runs in the second and third innings on Mike Lu Zion Lutherans, St.. Bonifacemen, Post Church Wins In the Church league at Anaheim city park yesterday, St. Boniface defeated Church of Christ, 4 to 3, while Zion Lutheran defeated Bethel Baptist, 8 to 2. In the first game pitchers Pickard and Lichtenwalter allowed only two hits, but gave 17 bases on balls, yet St. Boniface was only able to garner 4 runs, failing to hit in the clutch. Church of Christ gathered 5 hits but had few gift bases on balls. In the second game, Geo. Fowler collected the only hit for Bethel Baptist. They hit the ball well but always into someone's hands. Zion Lutheran collecting 7 hits and aided by five free passes were able to score eight runs. Lack of control on the pitcher's part was the deciding factor in both games.

A bad throw by the right fielder brought Lamann across with the last run for the Cyclones. The Cobras' lone run came in the fourth on Raul Moran's triple and Ed Madrid's single. Moran proved to be the big stickman for the Cobras, with two for three. Ben Lamas and Joel Esparza led the Cyclones with one hit each and nectering one run.

This time the debate revolves around young Bob Mathias and the ancient Jim Thorpe. Which is the greater athlete? Four years ago at London Mathias, only 17 and a high school athlete, won the Olympic dathlon title. In doing it he beaten five marks Thorpe hung to winning the event in 1912 and tied the Indian in a sixth. Thorpe was 24 at the time. Last week Mathias, now growing 21, won the Olympic dathlon tryouts again. This time he surpassed the Indian's mark in nine events—and compiled many points he broke the U.S. record even before toeing the mark in the tenth.

Dan Ferris, National AAU secretary-treasurer who saw Thorpe at Stockholm and will see Mathias at Helsinki, says "you'd have to say Mathias was the better all-around decathlon man because of his record. But with modern training Thorpe probably would have been as good." When it comes to other sports, you probably must give Thorpe the edge. Old Jim, whose Olympic achievements were erased because he had professionalized himself by playing proball before going to Sweden, was an outstanding football player, reached the major league in basketball, lacrosse, tennis, handball, hockey, swimming and wrestling.

(UP) — The slight edge England has over the United States, 14 victories to 13 in the 37 Olympic rowing races held since 1920, will be reversed in emphatic fashion at Helsinki this month, chairman Clifford (Tip) Goes of the American rowing committee predicts. During last week's final trials on Lake Quinsigamond's 2,000-meter course, a squad of 37 of the nation's top oarsmen, including seven alternates, outclassed more than 300 other Olympic hopefuls for places on the seven-event squad to be managed by Tom Bolles, Harvard athletic director. The U.S. Naval Academy, which boasts of the nation's outstanding singles sculler, Ens. John B. Kelly Jr., as well as an unbeaten eight-oared crew and a highly competent coxless four, placed 17 on the Olympic rowing squad. Past Costello and Walter Hoover Jr., the Detroit Boat club's durable youngsters, won the doubles sculling assignment and Rutgers' Chuck Logg Jr. and Tom Price of the coxless pairs. Stanford University's courageous Jim Fifer, Duval Hecht and Jim Beggs, their unpaid coach and boat-caller, qualified for the pairs with coxswain berth in spectacular fashion. The Stanford trio managed to overcome a tremendous obstacle while defeating Navy in their final. With less than 30 yards to go, one of the Stanford oarsmen caught a crab, forcing the other to miss the water entirely with his blade. But the cool-headed Beggs got them back on their high finishing beat in the knick of time.

Fain was hitless in his first 21 trips this year ... among the 100 and 200 hitters during the early weeks ... unofficially traded to the New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers. But he has battled his way up to the No. 1 position with a .336 average, one point ahead of Billy Goodman of the Boston Red Sox.

The Cuban keed kept his crown with an 11th round technical knockout of 21-year-old Turner last night. Al Weill, International Boxing club matchmaker, immediately went to work on a schedule for the champ. "Johnny Saxton, Billy Graham and Chuck Davey would be good opponents for Gavilan," said Weill. "They'd all draw good money for title bouts in the Garden in the fall." There also is talk of a rematch with Turner—in a year or so. Turner is a better fighter than Graham or Johhny Bratton," said Gavilan. "And as good as Bobby Dykes." Oaks Idle, Stars Take on Solons In Coast League By The Associated Press Oakland in first place in the Pacific Coast League by a precarious one game lead, is idle as Hollywood and San Diego, tied for second, take on second division opponents. The Oakland-Portland game will be played as part of a double-header Friday night. If Hollywood can outwit the Sacramento Solons and if the Padres can whip a San Francisco bargain basement nine, they can move within½ game of first place. Sacramento has been skirting in and out of the cellar and the Stars, who led the league before last week's disastrous encounter with Oakland, can be favored over the Senators. The Padres shouldn't have much trouble, either, riding the Seals to an easy victory. GAVILAN JUST got past Graham on a split decision in his first title defense. He won the crown from Bratton, May 18, 1951. Dykes gave him trouble but the keed copped split decision. Turner was running about even with Gavilan when he ran into a furious 11th round barrage. Both judges Charley Daggert and Lou Tress had it 5-5 after 10 rounds and referee Pete Tomasco had the Cuban out front, 6-4. The AP card showed Gavilan leading 5-4-1. An unbeaten fighter with 25 knockouts in 31 straight wins, Turner paid the penalty of over-eager youth. After setting a blazing early pace, Gil ran into trouble in the fifth. Gavilan hurt him with a flurry. Turner was penalized the round for a low blow but it was only a formality. Gavilan won it from here to Havana. AFTER THE fifth, Turner slowed his furious pace. Gavilan, more sure of himself, was able to make the Philadelphia kid fight LA Rams Will Meet Own Bonus Player In All Star Game CHICAGO. UP—The Los Angeles Rams must take on their own one-man team, prize linebacker Les Richter, when they face the college all-stars at Soldier field the night of Aug. 15. Richter, whom the rams several weeks ago got from the Dallas Texans in exchange for 11 players, yesterday was named to the all-star squad Coach Bobby Dodd will send against the National Football league champs. The 240-pound Richter had been the first draft choice of the Texans. He joins Burl Toler of San Francisco and Chuck Boerio of Rose Bowl champion Illinois as all-star linebackers. LeBroi Makes Bow In Main Go Tonite LOS ANGELES. UP—Gerald Le Broi, half of a set of fighting twins, makes his main event debut at the Olympic tonight in a set-to, scheduled for 10 rounds, with the durable Carlos Chavez of Los Angeles. Le Broi, 32-year-old Gary, Ind., lightweight, is striving to make a name for himself in the Southern California arenas. Chavez, 30, is a veteran of 10-round features hereabouts. No members of the Boston Red Sox were born in the state of Massachusetts. After setting a blazing early pace, Gil ran into trouble in the fifth, Gavilan hurt him with a flurry. Turner was penalized the round for a low blow but it was only a formality. Gavilan won it from here to Havana. AFTER THE fifth, Turner slowed his furious pace. Gavilan, more sure of himself, was able to make the Philadelphia kid fight his fight. In the 10th, it seemed Gavilan couldn't miss with a left hook. Time after time they thudded home on Turner's wide open jaw. Still young Gil surged back with a round-ending flurry. But the end was in sight. Coming out for the 11th, Turner shot the works in one last-gasp effort. It failed. Driving home counter hooks, Gavilan rat-tled punch after punch off Gil's chin. The youngster sagged on rubbery legs and was absorbing heavy punishment that left his mouthpiece dangling from loose lips when referee Tomasco stops it at 2:47. Joe Brovia Again Leads Pacific Coast League Batting SAN FRANCISCO UP—With aitting average of .329 for 90 times, Joe Brovia of Portland adds the Pacific Coast League second consecutive week. Tookie Gilbert, Oakland first seeman, continues to lead in his batted in with 63 in 95hes. Next is Jack Graham, Sanogo, with 59 in 96 games.
