Local Doubles Teams Moving Up in National Jr. Public Parks Tourney Two doubles local teams moved into the semifinals of the playoffs for the National Junior public parks mixed doubles division this week as two others compete for the right to represent the Anaheim Recreation department in the national finals at Long Beach from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9. First to reach the round of the four was the team of Jean Williams and Ronnie Lagg who, after a first round bye, defeated Anne Williams and Merle Meyer 6-3, 6-1. They were joined by the second seeded team of Joanne Kellogg and Floyd Baker, who also drew a first round bye and then went on to a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Rita Flynn and Phil Wright. These two winning teams face one another in the next round, with the trip combination going into the finals against the winners in the opposite half of the draw. In the upper bracket Karen Lenain and Barry Ryan won an easy 6-1 first set from Alice Weaver and Dean Stokes, but barely salvaged the second set 9-7 to take a first round win. In the quarter-finals they meet the winner of the Dorothy Thomas-Jay Lillywhite vs. Judy Debevec-Dan Holden first round encounter. In the top section, first seeded Mary Flynn and Dick Hanson rode into the quarterfinals on a bye where they face Judy Lamori and Larry Harvill. Miss Lamori and Harvill ran into unexpected good competition from the young and inexperienced team of Rosale Flynn and Mike Bouck who got a good share of the rallies despite dropping a 6-2, 6-4 decision. Win Over Monrovia Puts Buena Park Lynx in First Place With Lionettes Setting the stage for a first position playoff between the up-surging Buena Park Lynx and the Orange Lionettes tomorrow night at Orange, the girls from BP truncated a Monrovia girls softball team, 3-1, on the loser's diamond last night. The win moved up the Lynx, slow starters this season despite a persistent tradition of being on top of the heap, to a first place tie with Orange in the Southern California girls' softball league. It was a come-from-behind win as the Monrovians scored first blood in the third inning only to have the Lynx tie up the ball game in the sixth. With two out in the eighth and Mahoney aboard on an error, Annabelle Lockabry then broke up the ball game with a hard-hit homer that put the Lynx permanently out in front. Winning pitcher was Alsup with Whitney catching. Monrovia's battery was Hoehn and Barnes. Each pitcher gave up four hits. Monrovia led in the errors department, 3-1. Interesting indeed were the results of balloting for the major league all-star teams as far as Southern California went. Anaheim's Bobby Adams, Cincinnati stellar third-sacker, received an proximately twice as many votes as any other player at any other position, according to totals made public in the LA papers last week. Adams collected over 6000 votes and second was Jackie Robinson with 3000. Stan Musial with circle 2500 was third. Even so, celebrated Bobby Thompson, still basking in the glory of his legendary pennant winning homer of last year, beat Adams in the complete ball lotting for the entire nation. The explanation for the landslide to Adams in Southern California is that the Santa Ana clothing firm for whom Adams works in the off-season and Eddie West Santa Ana sportswriter, got together and circulated petitions in a "Vote for Adams" campaign which extended throughout Orange county. When Adams sees those clippings from the LA papers announcing the totals, he should be a very pleased young man. His many friends really went to bat for a guy who's been doing all right at bat himself this summer. THE SCENE was Huntington Beach, on the beach, last Sunday. One of the stars of the Fullerton-Whittier Swim Club was "breaking water polo training" by playing volleyball on a sand court Front-Running Warriors, Capitals Post Wins in HS Basketball League High school basketball players last night showed the power of the league leading Warriors as they took the opener from the Lakers in the Fremont gym. Final score was 26-22. Dennis Ryan and John Helmars were the game's top scorers with 13 points each. The second game proved to be a nip-and-tuck contest with the lead changing hands many times throughout the first three and a half quarters. A free shot by Carlos Ochoa with only 17 seconds of play left, provided the winning margin for the Royal victory over the Bullets. Lennie Kolo paced the winners with 18 points. In the nightcap, the Capitals, paced by Bob Stewart's 22 points, took the measure of the Knickerbockers by a 53-31 margin. This win enabled the Capitals to keep even with the Warriors for the league leadership. BASEBALL SCHOOL Every Saturday morning starting next Saturday at La Palma park, Clare Van Hoborebeke and Jim Heffron will hold a baseball school for boys of all ages. The school will start at 9:30 in the morning. Van Hoorebeke and Heffron will take up the fundamentals of each position throughout the summer. This for all boys nine and above. LEBROI WINS LOS ANGELES (P)—Gerald Le Broi, 138, a 22-year-old from Gary, Ind., made his main event debut in Southern California last night by handlining out a unanimous 10-round fight decision over Carlos Chavez, 136½, veteran Los Angeles puncher. THE SCENE was Huntington Beach, on the beach, last Sunday. One of the stars of the Fullerton-Whittier Swim Club was "breaking water polo training" by playing volleyball on a sand court next to a refreshment stand operated by Mr. and Mrs. V. Nitzkowski, parents of breaststroker Monte Nitzkowski. The water poloist had just arrived by plane at three that morning from New York, where Fullerton-Whittier had lost a 6-5 heartbreak to El Segundo in the Olympic trial semifinals. El Segundo hed gone on to whip New York AC, 5-2, in the finals to earn the right to represent the U.S. at Helsinki. This athlete, who shall remain nameless here, had just seen all his dreams and hopes of the past few years, possibly those of a lifetime, evaporate a few days before, when in the El Segundo-Fullerton game, he was ordered out of the pool for a questionable foul with four minutes left. He had watched El Segundo, with seven players in the water to Fullerton's six, stall out till the last 19 seconds, when a spectacular goal settled the issue by breaking a 5-5 tie for good. It was about 1:30 Sunday afternoon when the Nitzkowski's phone rang. It was Monite, telling them that he had qualified for the Helsinki trip by finishing third in the final swim trials at New York in the 200-meter breaststroke, thus establishing himself as the third best "butterfly artist" in the nation, and besting a couple of former national champions, including Princeton's renowned Bob Brawner, in the process. When the Nitzkowski screamed the wonderful news to this water polo player, (a very good friend of Monte) he was far from the picture of disappointment. His own bitter heartbreak was lost and forgotten amid the joy for his friend's good fortune and wonderful accomplishment. LEBROI WINS LOS ANGELES (P)—Gerald Le Brol, 138, a 22-year-old from Gary, Ind., made his main event debut in Southern California last night by handlining out a unanimous 10-round fight decision over Carlos Chavez, 136½, veteran Los Angeles puncher.

Anaheim scored the first run in the second inning, only to have Buena Park tie the score in their half of the second inning. Then Anaheim struck. They scored five runs in the third inning on one hit, a walk, one Buena Park error, and three fielders choices. Buena Park again tried to get back into the ball game in their half of the third, but the lead that Anaheim had built up was just too much for the team to overcome. They scored three runs on three hits. Anaheim rounded out their scoring by getting four runs in the fifth inning. Buena Park got their last two runs in the seventh inning, but Mary Lou Gastelum bore down and ended the threat. This marked the first time this year that an Anaheim pitcher had gone all the way, and Mary Lou looked good as she lasted the whole game.

Matches are held to one regulation tennis set so that even the youngest players may compete without too much trouble. First four place winners are awarded ribbons, with all players being placed on a tennis ladder for challenges in the positions in, which they finish. Scheduled for tomorrow's matches are: 1:00 p.m.—Charlene Allen vs have one kill the other off pronto. Meanwhile New York was seeded in the weak bracket with Illinois AC and New York AC No. 2 (only the five teams entered the trials) and thus was rostered for the finals with Li Segundo. Also this justified the choosing by the pro-New York officials, who were running the show and selecting the alternates, or two New York players as alternates. So strong was their favoritism that some sidelines expected them to pick New York players for all four alternate spots, but they were "generous" though to pick Burns from Fullerton-Whittier and one other man from Illinois.

U.S. Olympic Squad Arrives in Helsinki HELSINKI (EP)—The strongest kick and field team the United States ever assembled arrived to hopeful of maintaining All Stars Show Little Dressing Room Excitement PHILADELPHIA (AP) — There was little excitement in the All-Star dressing rooms after yesterday's abbreviated 19th annual dream game. Everybody seemed to have one objective — getting out. Hank Sauer and Bobby Shantz saved the day. Sauer, reminded of the 1950 All-Star game when he was the unwanted man, expressed satisfaction that he had completed a mission. Sauer, Chicago Cubs slugger, was voted to the All-Star team by the fans that year, but National League Manager Burt Shotton tried to replace him with his own Duke Snider. "I hope Shotton was watching and listening today. I wouldn't want him to miss this for the world," said Sauer, who won the game for the National League with a homer onto the left field roof at Shibe park. Musial was on base. The blow erased a 2 to 1 American lead to provide a 3 to 2 National victory. In the American League liniment quarters, a guy who looked like a high school freshman waiting for his big brother was Robert Clayton Shantz, dwarfish southpaw of the Philadelphia Athletics. Did he want a shot at Carl Hubbell's record? The long ball is the answer to many of baseball's problems, and Stanley Hack, one of the game's great third basemen, has discovered a third sacker on his Los Angeles club who can win games via the home run. Leon Brinkopf, 24-year-old Cape Girardeau, Mo., boy whom the Chicago Cubs sent back for more seasoning, socked two homers against Seattle last night. There were two men on base each time, so Brinkopf drove in all Los Angeles' runs in the 6 to 3 victory. The score was tied at 3-all in the ninth when Brinkopf delivered his 12th homer since he rejoined the Angels June 10. San Diego fell farther off the pace as San Francisco's Seals took the Padres 3 to 2. Bill Boemler turned in a five-hit pitching performance and the Seals climbed out of the cellar. Boemler started the winning rally in the ninth. He singled and went around on singles by Bill Andring and Bill McCawley. Hollywood advanced to within a half game of the idle, pace-setting Oakland Acorns, by tracing Sacramento, 7 to 1 Johnny Lindell, the veteran knuckle-baller who is said to be wanted by at least three major league clubs, set the Sacs down with five hits for his 13th win. The only run off hit was a homer by shortstop Richie Myers. Oakland's scheduled game with Portland will be played in a doubleheader Friday. San Diego reinstated pitcher Lefty Al Olsen. U.S. Olympic Squad Arrives in Helsinki HELSINKI (P)—The strongest kick and field team the United States ever assembled arrived today hopeful of maintaining American Olympic supremacy. Eighty husky athletes stepped the plane in dazzling sunshine 5 am, after flying through a bit of almost daytime brightness into this land of the midnight coaches pronounced them as fit they looked. Every ailing member of the squad is improving so badly they are expected to be top shape by the time the ses open July 19—with the sole exception of Jim Fuchs, a world champion shotter, is limping with a torn mening in his right ankle. "It's safer, but not good yet," Fuchs said. Al Whitfield, 800 meter champion of the 1948 Olympics, reed the muscle he strained in national tryouts was "getting her fast and should be all right game time." Fifteen hundred runner Bob McMillen said groin injury was healing fully. Intent Probably Out of Gold Cup GLEWOOD (P)—Light-tips took heart today with probable absence of Intent, favorite, in the $100,000 Gold handicap at Hollywood park Saturday. A dozen probably will race in the mile and one-quarter fixture. Intent, one of the nation's best handicap horses, was hit by fever last week after running third in the American handicap. Trainer Buddy Hirsch indicated he hopes to get Intent back into shape, but said this was extremely doubtful. Grace Lutherans Outscore Stanton Churchmen, 5-3 Although outhit 5-3, Grace Lutheran out scored the Stanton Community 3 to 2 in a Church league game last night at Anselm City park. The game was well played in the short time of 50 minutes. Both pitchers kept the hits scattered and received fine support from their mates. Grace Lutheran scored in the second on two walks and two hits. The winning run came in the fifth on two walks and two outfield flies. Stanton Community was held scoreless until the fifth inning when three hits scored two runs. The rally fell short of tying the game, although they were in scoring position again in the seventh. Exceptionally fine fielding by both teams highlighted the game. Shop Friday Night Til NOW OLD Sunny Brook BRAND COSTS LESS! NEW LOW PRICE NOW $4.30 4/5 OT.
