Sixty Teams Strive to Take Singles Title from Australian Champions BROOKLINE, Mass. (F)—All but three of the 60 teams striving to regain the national doubles tennis titles from Australia's great Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor have displayed their wares at Longwood. But none of the challenging combinations appears fit for such an exacting task. While Sedgman and McGregor rested on a first-round bye yesterday, all but one of the other smoled teams played from scratch. Ellis Slack and Ralph Gish of San Francisco, the sixth seeded domestic team, ran into surprising opposition from two other Californiaans, Jim Rend and Bill Cranston of Santa Morena. Their three-hour struggle was halted by darkness with Slack and Gish leading 10-2, 4-5, 6-3, 20-all. With but 18 teams entered in the women's division, only two first round matches were needed. Defending champions Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Fla., and Shirley Pry of Akron, Ohio, made a clean sweep against Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis and Mrs. Eleanor Williams of Dedham, Mass. Mrs. Thelma Long of Australia and Mrs. Nancy Chaffee Kiner of Palm Springs, Calif., toyed with Mrs. Arthur Hill of Winchester, Mass., and Nancy Horton of Cambridge, Mass., 6-1, 6-1. Before they checked in at Longwood, Miss Hart and Miss Fraser played off their rain-postponed Essex county doubles final at nearby Manchester and were beaten en, 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, by Maureen Little Mo Connolly, the national and Wimbeldon singles titlist, and ex- and up to date ... another step forward for Center Street and Anaheim.

Nazarene Takes "A" League Playoff, E.U.B. Nine Beats Baptist Team The EUB nine turned back the Cypress Baptist team 3-1 last night in the opening game of the Church League playoffs held at City park. The 10 inning thriller evened the series between the two teams at one game each. In another evening game the Nazarene team wrapped up the series with the St. Boniface nine in a 6-4 "come from behind" performance. Dick Zimmerman, pitcher for EUB won his own ball game with a tenth inning triple to short right field that scored Don Selfridge and Maylon Hammon. Both base runners got on through errors. Jim Wright singled to center field in the 6th inning to score Kenny MacKay for Cypress' only score of the evening. Wright also triplied in the third inning, but was thrown out on a perfect peg to home by Ted Peters, EUB right fielder. Pitcher Zimmerman struck out 12 batters and gave up only eight hits in winning. His opponent, Jim Wright, struck out 13 batters and allowed only five hits in losing. Vince Cook, with two hits in three trips to the plate, led his St. Boniface team in runs, scoring twice. It wasn't enough to give his team the margin of victory, however. The Nazarene team scored three runs in the top half of the seventh inning to take the win. St. Boniface protested the game in the seventh inning with runners on all bases and one away. League Director Jim Wright ruled the game should be replayed from that point, but Carl Heinz, St. Boniface manager, declined to play such a short rematch. Vaulter is Father POMONA.

ORTS Middlecoff Wins Kansas City Open For Second Time KANSAS CITY (AP)—Cary Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist, followed the playoff route to the $15,000 Kansas City open golf title for the second consecutive time yesterday. He shot a six-under par 66—the best round of the tournament—to beat Jack Burke, Jr., of Houston, Tex., by six strokes. The two wound up the regulation 72 holes Sunday with 276 totals. Last year Middlecoff also finished in a tie at the end of 72 holes. In a three-way playoff, he took the title by edging Doug Ford of Harrison, N. Y., and Dave Douglas. Middlecoff is playoff conscious. Only last week he lost a playoff to Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N. C., in the $25,000 "world" golf tournament at Chicago. For yesterday's victory he pocketed $2400 plus a share of the day's gate receipts paid by a crowd of 2000. Burke's 72 brought him $1800 in second-place prize money. He also shared in the gate receipts. Middlecoff's accurate putting was a big fator in the match played over the 6200-yard Milburn Country club course. He had 29 putts to 36 for Burke. He one-putted four of the first five holes. The Tennessee toured the first nine in a four-under par 32 and didn't go over par on any of the 18 holes. Lindell Racks up 20th Victory as Stars and Oaks Go into Tie for 1st By The Associated Press With five weeks to go, Hollywood and Oakland are tied once again for first place in the Pacific Coast League race. Hollywood edged into the tie last night the hard way. The Stars rewon a game they won July 24 from Sacramento, and which was protested by Solon Manager Joe Gordon. Hollywood won last night 8 to 3, whereas the original count was 5 to 3. Johnny Lindell racked up his 20th pitching victory of the year. He's the first to reach that select group, and he has done it at the advanced age of 38, when most pitchers are supposed to be through Lindell, an old-time New York Yankee outfielder, turned pitcher by learning to control the knuckleball, a comparatively rare achievement. Last night's game was resumed in the last of the second inning with two men on base and Lindell batting for Pinky Woods, who pitched in the protested July 24 game. Lindell's infield out advanced the runners and Ted Beard doubled them home. The Stars kept pecking away and collected 11 hits off four Sac hurlers. Woods was the goat of the night. His previous pitching victory was taken away, as was the home run he clouted. The loser of the game by remote control was Jack Pickart, who was farmed to Idaho Falls. Woods, who pitched Saturday, was not sufficiently rested to work last night. Sacramento's only scores off Lindell came in the seventh when Ritchie Myers tripled with Lenn Attyd and Al Anicich on base. The game had to be replayed because League President Clarence Rowland upheld Manager Gordon's contention that Umpire Lou Barbour should not have allowed two Hollywood runners to advance a base when Pickart uncorked a wild pitch that hit the ground and blew up. Middlecoff's accurate putting was a big fatcor in the match played over the 6200-yard Milburn Country club course. He had 29 putts to 36 for Burke. He one-putted four of the first five holes. The Tennessee toured the first nine in a four-under par 32 and didn't go over par on any of the 18 holes. Kids Jaw Like Big Leaguers Only More So By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP)—A fellow we know says he attended a kid baseball game the other day and left in disgust after a few innings because the little beggars were spending more time beefing at the umpires and generally making themselves obnoxious than they were in playing ball. "It's a pain," he said. "They've seen the big leaguers jawing with the umps so much that they think it's part of the game. The managers were getting in on the act, too, and the crowd was egging the kids on. I don't see how they get anybody to umpire any more. "Why don't you," he urged, "do what you can toward telling these silly saps that the big league umpires you know are just people like anybody else; that they are sensitive, intelligent men who have a real love for the game, and that they are out there doing their best on a mighty hard job?" The man's remarks are, of course, well taken. The umpire-bating phase of the game is becoming extremely irksome, and though we had intended all along to stay away from kiddies' games, he supplies us with added incentive to do so. It is bad enough to watch the grown-ups. As he says, big league umpires are as solid a group of citizens as you would want to know. They are good companions off the ball field, and when one of them decides you are on the level he is a far more interesting conversation-alist than the average player. If they were not bound by the nature of their jobs to keep quiet in company, they would be better understood by the fans. As they are only human, umpires come to detest certain players who make a practice of riding them. Sacramento's only scores off Lindell came in the seventh when Ritchie Myers tripped with Lenn Attyd and Al Anicich on base. The game had to be replayed because League President Clarence Rowland upheld Manager Gordon's contention that Umpire Lou Barbour should not have allowed two Hollywood runners to advance a base when Pickart uncorked a wild pitch that hit the ground and then struck Woods' bat. On the next pitch Woods homered. Hollywood faces San Diego tonight in the border city. Hollywood has been poison all season for the Padres.

Bloomers Fly High Beating Rockets For Championship The Anaheim Bloomers toppled the Orange Rockets last night at Fullerton's Amerige park by a score of 10-6 to take the top spot in the Orange Empire League's girls softball playoffs. The Bloomers scored two runs in the first inning to one first inning run for the Rockets. The Rockets threatened in the fourth by scoring two runs, but the bloomers came back in the sixth inning with a bases loaded triple by Rachel Cadwalader. Rachel stole home to give the Bloomers their four run edge. A four run seventh inning sewed up the championship for the local girls. Top hitters for the evening were Janice Troutman with four for five and Rachel Cadwalader with three for four. Pitcher Doris Holve struck out four batters and collected two runs in helping to win the ball game. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Established 1870 Theodore B.
