OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER There comes into the news now a new disease which we can catch. Incidentally, do we catch THEM, or do they catch US? Why can't the scientist answer that question? This new disease, as reported by the science editor of a metropolitan daily, is called, simply, PTC. That probably makes it easier to catch. One thing we can give the modern medics credit for: they have streamlined the medical terms. Instead of calling a certain mal-functioning of the organism intercellular Perfunctionalism of the Upper Flagellator, they just jot it down as IPF. But DDT won't cure it. This discovery of a new ailment was described in the Los Angeles sheet as follows: "Discovery of a rare, new hemophilia like blood disease by University of California medical scientists has been confirmed by additional findings. It was disclosed today." "The disease is known — at least for the present—as PTC deficiency disease (for plasma thromboplastin component)." If given proper publicity, this new disease can graduate overnight from the ignominious position of a rarity to the stature of a commonplace ailment. If you hear enough about it, you will come to associate it with yourself. When you straighten up suddenly after cleaning grass out of the lawnmower, does the landscape whirl? PTC, old man. You are short on thromboplastins. Do you feel "loggy" when aroused at 8 a.m. by an auto-mobile crashing into the side of your house? Does this make you irritable? Perhaps PTC has set in. Did you feel a slight rebellion in the pit of the old bread basket last evening at dinner after that second piece of apple pie laced with cheese? And did you use this as an excuse to beg off going to the P-TA? The P-TA didn't get you, but PCT did. Seriously, now, just what IS your plasma thromboplastin component? Have you had it checked lately? No, but you DID have your car checked, didn't you? Don't you ever stop to realize that you car will still be a pawn in the hands of happy used car dealers long after you have reverted to clay? To me, the word "thromboplastin" brings to mind that deadly word "thrombosis," usually seen in sinister conjunction with the word "coronary" in death accounts. How are you feeling? Oh, well, if the medics can't find cures for the OLD diseases, we can't blame them for discovering new ones. Doc wants to drive a fish-tail Cadillac, y'know. But we will rise to meet this new threat, make no doubt. A pro-thromboplastin pill will soon hit the drug store counters, and the cigarette commercials also will sing to us a siren song of prevention and cure. Someone, somewhere, will think up something. Ever hear of Hadacol? Meanwhile, I don't feel so good. Can't figure out whether it is FEPC or PTC. You got your will made out? Lynx Win First Round of Play, Meet MP Tonight Buena Park Lynx won the first round of the regional softball playoffs last night, beating El Cajon of San Diego 9-0. The Lynx made their nine runs on 11 hits and racked up only two errors. El Cajon was held to one hit for the evening and committed four errors, a couple of them costly ones. Lynx scored four runs in the first inning, one in the second and four in the fourth in taking the win. First inning runs were scored on three hits and two errors. Manoney and Ray both got on with singles and were driven in by Lockabey. Meissen got on on a fielder's choice and Lockabey scored on the same choice. Meissen took third and Averett scored the inning's final run. Mahoney singled in the second and Ray doubled to drive her in for the inning's only score. The fourth inning saw a single by Whitney, a double by Ray, a single and a stolen base by Broady and a single by Lockabey, which all added up to four more runs for the Lynx. Lynx battery was Meissen and McDaniel, for El Cajon, Klein and Balsey. Buena Park plays Monterey Park tonight at 8:20 and the loser of tonight's game will meet El Cajon tomorrow night. Final game of the regional playoffs is set for Friday. Elimination winner goes to Toronto to take part in the National playoffs. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

The young scamp said he supposed it would be the best thing for him to plead guilty and guilty he did plead. Justice Bailey bound him over to appear before the grand jury. 25 Years Ago August 1927 Jim Rivera, outfielder for the St. Louis Browns, would have gone into professional boxing had not baseball offered him an opportunity.

SEATTLE (P) — The double squeeze hits the field in the Men's National Amateur Golf Championship today but such standout challengers as Frank Stranahan, Harvie Ward, Jr., and Charlie Coe are expected to survive the crush. Sixty-four players remained in the field this morning, awaiting the day's double round. By nightfall at the Seattle Country Club, they will have whittled each other down to a select 16. Stranahan, Toledo's two-time British amateur winner, who got past a tough one when he beat Chuck Kocsis, Royal Oak, Mich., yesterday; 3 to 2, faced Del Walker of Long Beach, runner-up for the Southern California title last year. Ward, the Tarheel from Tarboro, N.C., and the reigning British amateur champion, teed off against a Seattle golfer, Erv Parent. He beat Tim Holland, New York, 4 and 3 yesterday. Coe, the 1949 U.S. champion, from Oklahoma City, met John Levinson of Niles, Mich. Coe belted out a fellow townsman, Russell Brown, 3 and 4. Two major upsets were registered late yesterday. The first came when Robert W. Kuntz of Larchmont, N.Y., former Yale captain and U.S. Marine, eliminated Joe Gagliardi of Mamaroneck, N.Y., runner-up for the crown at Bethlehem, Pa., last year. Kuntz won 1 up. The second came when Billy Jo Patton of Morganton, N.C., ended the one-day joy of 18-year-old Ira Gruber, Duke University star from Pottstown, Pa. Gruber made the headlines in the first round when he defeated the defending champion, Billy Jo Maxwell, on the 21st hole. Gruber bowed to Patton, however, 3 and 2.

Stars Beat Padres for 18th Time, Stay in 1st-Place Tie with Acorns By The Associated Press If the Hollywood Stars could play all their games against San Diego they would be a cinch to waltz home with the Pacific Coast league championship. The Stars won their 18th game against the Padres last night in San Diego. San Diego has won only four times this season from Hollywood. For nine innings last night San Diego made a very brave fight of it. The teams were deadlocked going into the tenth, 0-0. Then the Stars scored four runs and won the ball game, 4 to 0. Mel Queen allowed the Padres only two hits. The net result of this was to keep Hollywood in a first place tie with Oakland, which nosed out Seattle, 4 to 3, and to drop San Diego 5½ games off the pace. Oakland employed the home run to whip Seattle. Sam Chapman and Tookie Gilbert delivered the lethal wallops. It was Gilbert's 26th long blow in the eighth that decided the issue. Seattle had just tied the score at 3-all. George Bamberger noted his 10th pitching victory. Hard-working Vern Kindsfather was charged with his 11th loss against 16 wins. Seattle committed three errors. Sacramento edged San Francisco 4 to 3 as Len Attyd drove in the winning run in the last of the ninth. Chesty Chet Johnson beat his old teammates although he was touched for 11 hits. Sacramento got only six off Elmer Singleton. Los Angeles continued its losing ways, dropping a 3 to 0 decision to Portland. Larry Ward of Ramsdell gave up five hits apiece, but Ramsdell was touched for four of them in the sixth inning. These four hits, coupled with a walk and a wierd play that created a long rhubarb, fashioned the three Portland runs.

Southern California Edison Company BOXING and Baseball Main Features Of City Park Family Get-Together With over 500 people in the stands for family night at city park, the Juvenile leaguers did their stuff with 14 Bronze Gloves matches and an east-west all-star 10" hardball game between boys of the "A" league. Bob Hatfield of the east, and Bill Larson of the west, with some good fielding plays behind them, put on a real pitchers' duel for the nine innings. Bill Larson, who plays for Foster Freeze, gave up five hits, two walks and struck out eight batters, while Hatfield of Schaeffler's Paints, allowed seven hits, three walks, and struck out four. The east all-stars were first to score in the top of the fifth on a single by Ray Saavedra who stole second, advanced to third on an out and scored on a single by Gerald David. In the bottom of the sixth the west all-stars scored three runs to lead 3 to 1 on a walk to Jack Farless and Hutson Harrison, a single by Richard Espinoza, with Farless scoring, then a double by Bill Larson to score Harrison and Espinoza. In the top of the eighth the east tied the score with three singles by Gerald David, his second of the evening, Gary Ramsier and Dale Ratzlaff. For the west in the ninth inning, Larson led off with a single, stole second and went to third on a pass ball with none out. Then Ronquillo struck out, Bradley Harker hit a slow roller to the pitcher who caught Larson trying to score, making two outs. Harber stole second and scored on a game winning single by Gary Dixon. Oddly enough in the boxing, all bouts were draws, with some real mixing it up. Weight ranged from 49 pounds to 118 pounds, and ages 4½ to 13. The heavy-weight bout of the evening was between Ray Saavedra, 116½, and Terry La Fortune, 118½.

Small Fry to Shoot For Gold, Glory VANDALIA, Ohio (UP)—The little fellows get their chance at gold and glory today in the 53rd Grand American Trapshoot. For the first and only time in the 1,500,000-target barrage, the marksmen will fire only against those of comparable talent as they decide the national class championships. The class shooting furnishes a jul before the Preliminary Handicap tomorrow and the Grand American Handicap Friday—the major event on the clay target carnival. Yesterday Rudy Etchen, 29-year-old Sun Valley, Ida., red head, won the men's North American 16-yard clay-target championship with a perfect 200x200 score. Love Triumphs Over Politics BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)—Hungarian officials disclosed today that an Olympics-fostered romance had bridged the Iron Curtain. The marriage of Belgian newsraper Pierre Gerard and Hungarian swimmer Eva Novak, who brought three medals home from Helsinki, was revealed here. The groom was identified as the editor of Les Sports, published in Brussels. The announcement of the nuptials did not tell where or when the couple met, but said that Gerard came back to Budapest with the Hungarian Olympic team. Since he was a foreigner, the couple had to ask Hungary's government for permission to marry. That, said friends, was granted promptly. Pierre, 38, and Eva, 22, were wed Aug. 11 and returned Monday from a brief honeymoon on Lake Balaton. Swimming associates said the bride, who is studying medicine, intends to complete her studies. The groom, they added, plans to return to his newspaper work in Eelguim but expects to visit his wife every month. Eva, her friends said, wants to keep her Hungarian citizenship and hopes to represent her country in the 1956 Olympics. She already is the world’s record holder in the 200-meter breast stroke race for women, though she only game for women. U.S. May Send Only Two Players to Challenge Aussies for Davis Cup By GAYLE TA LBOT NEW YORK (UP)—A report has down from New England this country's Davis Cup tournals, wounded at the criticism received last year for relying such veterans as Ted Schroed and Vic Selkas, are intend- who wtheir detractors that can be just as forward-looked long-range smart as any.

This would indicate at least a faint possibility that he might sometime win three sets from the Aussie star. Perry is supposed to be the best of the West Coast crop and a very fine prospect for future greatness. Probably his best win up to now was scored over little Ken Rosewall, the 17-year-old Australian junior champ, in an early round of last week's Newport tournament. Later, though, he was whipped by Sgt. Bernard Bartzen, a fellow member on the U.S. Cup squad. Our guess is that, in the end, too much pressure will be brought on the selectors to permit them to play only the two youngsters. Friendly City Has Big Game Winners Who is the best pitcher in baseball today? The folks of little Pottstown, Pa., point to their own Bobby Shantz, the pint-sized southpaw of the Athletics as the game's top hurler. On the other hand, the good citizens of Springfield, Ill., contend that their Robin Roberts, the pride of the Phillies, is the best in the business. At any rate, one thing is certain. The Philadelphia clubs own the only 20-game winners in the majors leagues today. Shantz was the first to reach the charmed circle, notching his 20th triumph Aug. 5. Roberts, who joined him yesterday became the first National Leaguer to reach that total. Roberts coasted to his 22nd complete game in 28 starts last night as the Phils outslugged Pittsburgh, 10-5. The Pirates scored four times in the last two innings after the Phils had built up a 9-1 lead. It marked the third straight year Swimming associates said the bride, who is studying medicine, intends to complete her studies. The groom, they added, plans to return to his newspaper work in Belguim but expects to visit his wife every month. Eva, her friends said, wants to keep her Hungarian citizenship and hopes to represent her country in the 1952 Olympics. She already is the world's record holder in the 200-meter breast stroke race for women, though she only came second in the event at Helsinki. Caddies Play for College Education COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP)—Sixty-four lads who want to carve out an education with a set of sharp golf clubs lined up today for the first round of the 1952 PGA—National Caddie Golf Tournament. They'll be shooting for $5000 in college scholarships in five rounds of match play over the rolling, water-cut fairways of Ohio State university's course. The 64, representing 18 states and Canada, play two 18-hole matches today and two tomorrow. The four fortunate ones left for the semi-finals Friday battle over 36 holes for the right to play in the climax, the 36-hole final match Saturday. that the 25-year-old right hander has reached the 20-win mark. The Athletics didn't need the services of Shantz as they swept a doubleheader from the lowly Detroit Tigers, 4-3 and 6-5, to climb into a fifth-place tie with Chicago and advance within nine games of the pace-setting New York Yankees.
