Other entrants include: Roger Pannier, sponsored by Essex Wire Corp.; Bob Palm, sponsored by Palms Service and Cal Stewart, sponsored by the Park Athletic Club. All are training hard for the event, which proves to be a close race even with the distance being over three miles.

Anaheim as the majority of them have gained recognition in the years past. Leading the All Stars are such names as Al Bushman, Cliff Houston, Ray Huston, Lorrie Periltt, Jack Cleveland, Ralph Anderson and many others.

Anaheim Juniors Edge Pasadena Team by 9 to 8 Alert base running by Mickey Pitman gave the Anaheim Juniors a 9-2 win over Pasadena here yesterday in a non-league tilt. Dan drew a walk with the store tied at 8-8 in the fifth inning and proceeded to steal second and third base and then countered the game - winning taily off Garry Conk's infield out. Frank Doretti turned in several spectacular fielding plays at third base and also supplied the batting punch as he belled a pair of singles and drove in three runs. Tomorrow the Juniors will resume league play when they travel to Fullerton. 5000 ALBACORE Over 5000 albacore brought in on Newport Harbor deep sea derby beats since ran started April 11th.

They won the first game last Thursday night, 7 to 0. In the nightcap Hunt Foods evened their best two-out-of-three series with a 1 to 0 win over Art Altheide's Davies Bakery nine. Anaheim Merchants continued its winning ways with Bob Thompson again leading the Merchants with a towering fly ball home run in the first inning to drive in Frank Perez and put the home-town team out in front 2 to 0. Paul Bruce singled to open the second inning and scored when Lynn Brown and Bill Hoag connected for successive singles. Ed Bielefeld scored the final run when he was safe on an error and came home on Johnny Vuksonavich's single. The hapless Cypress Merchants, playing without the services of four of its regular team, scored its only run in the third when Junior Mellano was safe on a fielder's choice and scored when Arnett singled to right field. IN THE NIGHT cap the "potent" cannery men from Hunt Foods evened its series with Davies Bakery 1 to 0 behind the one-hit hurling of Jack Pickering. Pickering faced only 24 Davies' batsmen, and had a no-hit game going until the fifth inning when Don Hein singled to center field for the only hit off the cannery hurler. Walt Cook crossed the plate for the only tally of the ball game when he was safe on a two-base error, and romped home on Scrumpy Boyd's single to center field. Kiko Munoz tripled to center in the fourth inning but died on third when John Boden was thrown out at first on an attempted squeeze play. Art Altheide, Davies' brilliant hurler, struck out 9 and allowed only three base hits in a loosing effort. Pickering "koed" six of the opposition and received perfect support from his teammates in winning this crucial game.

Baptists, St. Boniface Teams Victors in Church League Play Last night in a doubleheader at La Palma Park, First Baptist beat Church of Christ 10-0, and in a second game, St. Boniface throtled Zion Lutheran, 20-13. In the first game, Gene Beardsley pitched a good two-hit ball game, while walking only two men. He was never in trouble throughout the game. Homerun power in the bats of Bob Kevorkian and Al Albarian led the Baptist attack, which also showed two doubles in the hit parade. The big stickmen for First Baptist were Kevorkian, Albarian, Herb Davis and John Herrera, each with two hits apiece. For the Church of Christ the only hits of the game were by Vern Grapere and Al Mills. IN THE NIGHTCAP of this Church League doublefeature, St. Boniface overcame a five run deficit in the first inning and went on to pound out a 20-13 decision over a scrappy Zion Lutheran team which tied the game up in the sixth inning but fell to the power-laden Boniface bats. Boniface scored one run in the first inning on Johnny Patin’s single which scored Jim Heffron, who was safe on an error. But in the Zion half of the first, seven straight hits were collected off of starting pitcher Jerry Stehly, and before Frannie Patin could put out the fire, six runs had crossed the plate. From the second inning, in which a three-run home run was hit by Jim Heffron and a two-run homer by Larry Kramer, the Bonifacemen were never headed. Another homer in the sixth by Leo Waldman off the grandslam variety accounted for four more runs. The big hitters in the Boniface attack were Johnny Patin, who in his farewell game before joining Uncle Sam’s army, garnered four hits in five trips to the plate. Bill McGinnis, Kramer, Waldman, and Carl Heinz each collected two hits apiece. For the losing Lutherans, Floyd Trapp led the attack with three for three.

Certainly it will require some mighty big doings by any of the other contenders to knock either the Yankees or Dodgers off the top perch. The Yanks headed west today with a comfortable 4½ game margin over their nearest competitor. The Dodgers arrived home today with a commanding 7½ game bulge over the defending National league champion New York Giants. Of the two, the Yankees appear to have the rougher task ahead. Starting with a double-header in Cleveland this evening, the world champions will pack 21 games into the next 17 days. Brooklyn and the Giants open up 14-game home stands tonight. The Dodgers start with Cincinnati and the Giants take on the St. Louis Cardinals.
