2. Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA OBLONG VIEWS [From an Egg-Shaped Head] BY WALDO HUNTER As an aftermath of The Gazette's "extra," and in fairness to a good newsman, the absence of City Editor Len Kreldt's by-line on the edition should be explained. In the rush and the furore of rounding up equipment and getting the press-car headed for Bakersfield at an 80-mph clip the boys had simply forgot to pick up the city ed., and consequently his part in the production of the edition was done at his newsroom desk, not quite as exciting as on-the-spot news-gathering, but none-the-less important and more often than not a lot harder. As for the rest of us, after a tittle week-end, we have settled back into the routine of daily production of your favorite newspaper. (But not without an eye cocked warily at the front office). One of life's greatest fascinations, and one of its most challenging aspects, is the unexpected. That's what makes working down here at The Gazette such a disheartling pleasure. You never know what these fellows are going to think upon next. Take, for instance, that "extra" which came out Saturday morning giving picture and word-coverage of the Bakersfield story. It is not ordinarily within the purview of a newspaper of the size of The Gazette to cover a news story some 200 miles removed from the local scene, but within recent weeks this newspaper seems to have taken unto itself a new philosophy, and all obstacles to getting out an "extra" were blithely disregarded in this case. At Bakersfield, in the middle of the rubble, Ed Brown, our new advertising director doubled as reporter and had the unusual experience of interviewing a barefooted, be-robed, bearded, braided and KRISHNA VENTA birth. “What is the nature of your work?” Brown asked the lanky and shoeless one. "We put out fires," replied Krishna Venta. Momentarily thrown for a loss, the Gazetteman asked Krishna how he spelled his name. “You will get it wrong. They always do,” replied Krishna. “I'll give you my card.” He then extracted from the folds of his flowing robe a wallet, and Brown admits to peeking at the contents. Spartan penuriousness doesn't seem to be one of the dominant qualities of the leader of the WKF&L, Fountain of the World. The wallet was loaded with $20 bills. Brown learned later that Krishna Venta, while touring Europe in 1849, took off his shirt and sat down to take a coke out of contention.

(P)-fending Champion Walt McNeil of Vancouver and some of late starters got into the act day, realizing the man to beat the 1952 edition of the Canada Amateur Golf Tournament is slugger from East Rochester, N.J. Sammy Urzetta. McEllroy drew a bye in year’s opening round. So did I Campbell, the tall politician for Huntington, W. Va., and Mawhinney of Vancouver, 1950 champ. Doubts increased that whinny would be able to do himself to the first tee for scheduled match with George Andrews of Victoria. He has news story some 200 miles removed from the local scene, but within recent weeks this newspaper seems to have taken unto itself a new philosophy, and all objections to getting out an "extravare" were blithely disregarded in this case. At Bakersfield, in the middle of the rubble, Ed Brown, our new advertising director doubled as reporter and had the unusual experience of interviewing a barefooted, be-robed, bearded, braided and brunish gentleman of biblical men who called himself Krishna Venita, leader of the Wisdom Knowledge Faith and Love Fountain of the World which has its headquarters in Canoga Park. Krishna Venita, leader of 10 disciples, and a man who at one time called himself "The Voice," told Brown he was born in Massachusetts, but did not give the date of NORTH ANAHEIM PRESCRIPTION PHARMACY 782 No. Los Angeles St. Prescription Center FREE PARKING See us for DRUG needs.

He then extracted from the folds of his flowing robe a wallet, and Brown admits to pecking at the contents. Spartan penuriousness doesn't seem to be one of the dominant qualities of the leader of the WKF&L Fountain of the World. The wallet was loaded with $20 bills. Brown learned later that Krishna Venita, while touring Europe in 1949, asked for an audience with the Pope but was refused. His recovery from this rebuff was something bordering on the sensational. He returned to the United States and calmly admitted to reporters that he was Christ. He and his followers are still at large, however, and newsmen said they were active and helpful during the confusion at Bakersfield. Krishna is quite scholarly, according to Brown, but he invariably brings all lines of conversation back to one theme: he and his followers must go somewhere to put out fires. (There were no fires in Bakersfield). "That is our mission in life," he gravely stated. And he underscored this statement by diving suddenly into a 1950 Mercury station wagon with one of his "brothers," and, as Don Young, another Gazetteman on the scene, described it, "rounded a corner burning rubber."

Champions The Juvenile league swim meet will be held tomorrow at the city park plunge at 9 a.m. Boys on all Juvenile league teams are reminded that they will receive points towards the trophies for showing up, whether they can swim or not. This is the final activity of the summer to be added towards the trophies for the leagues. Baseball, softball and football will run into next week. Also, all members are reminded of the annual banquet to be held on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 5:30 p.m. at city park. All boys who were on a team are reminded that this is for them. On this night the trophies will be awarded to the winning teams, outstanding athletes in each league, and winning sponsors in each league. Events in the swim meet for the "A" league are: 20-yard free style, 20-yard breast, 20-yard back stroke, 40-yard free style, medley relay, free style relay and diving. "B" league events include 20-yard free style, 20-yard breast stroke, 20-yard back stroke, medley relay, free style relay and diving. "C" events are 20-yard free style, 20-yard back stroke, 20-yard back stroke, free style relay and diving. All are invited to come, watch the swim meet, tomorrow at city park at 9 a.m. as the swim meet can change the outcome of the league championship. In the "A" league, the league leading Cotier's team has a weak swim team and could lose enough points to Gazette or Junior Chamber of Commerce to lose the championship. Also, the "C" league championship could be determined with Nadorff Hardwaret ahead at present, but four teams close enough to take over first place by winning the swimming meet. Oaks-Stars Play Crosstown Games; End of Race Near By The Associated Press On the basis of past performances, Oakland this week stands to cut into that three game lead the Hollywood Stars have in the Pacific Coast league pennant race. The Stars have seven games with the Los Angeles club at Hollywood's Gilmore field. Oakland faces San Fransisco in Seals' stadium. Oakland has been fairly successful this year against San Francisco, winning 14 and losing six. But Los Angeles has held Hollywood just about even, the Stars winning 11 of 21 games. If the percentages are maintained, the Oaks will pick up ground this week on the Stars. Meanwhile, San Diego is at Seattle and Sacramento is at Portland this week.

The Cleveland Indians have four series remaining with the Detroit Tigers, who killed them dead last season by winning four of their last five games right at the end. Ned Garver, who now twirls for the Tigers, should be about ready to resume his 20-game stride of last year, and if he catches fire against the Injuns the yelps of anguish you bear will come from Hank Greenberg, the Tribe's general manager. Chicago writers have opened a campaign to elect Hank Sauer of the Cubs as the National League's most valuable player, despite the fact he is on a second-division club. From here it looks like a fine opportunity for the selectors to prove that man doesn't have to play with a winner to receive the honor. Francis Wallace, the football pickup man, was in to exhibit his nominee for player-of-the-year, Jack Scarbath, Maryland's T-for-mation quarterback. There is no doubt whatever in Wallace's mind that the Notre Dame-Oklahoma game this fall will eclipse the election in popular interest. Our entry as the most quotable quote of the summer was credited to Manager Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox when he said, "The most fortunate thing that happened to the American League this season was the unfortunate injury to Eddie Lopat's arm.

Gets Two Olympic Champs for Team LOS ANGELES (AP)—Two Olympic record holders will report for football practice at the University of Southern California next Monday. They are Sim Inness, the 240-pound discus champ, and Jack Davis, the country's fastest hurdler. They are among the 73 players called out for practice by Trojan Coach Jess Hill. Neither has played football since coming to USC, but Hill says he expects both to be of help because of their natural ability. Davis probably will be used as a defensive halfback and Inness as a defensive tackle. Virgil Trucks Joins Mythical Hall Of Fame by Twirling 2nd No-Hit Game Virgil Trucks was riding on the clouds today but if the double no-hit pitcher of the Detroit Tigers was going around in circles, who could blame him? The 33-year-old righthander, suffering his poorest season in the majors, suddenly finds himself in the pitchers' mythical hall of fame, joining Johnny Vander Meer and Allie Reynolds on a special pedestal reserved for those who achieve two no-hitters in the same season. But Los Angeles has held Hollywood just about even, the Stars winning 11 of 21 games. If the percentages are maintained, the Oaks will pick up ground this week on the Stars. Meanwhile, San Diego is at Seattle and Sacramento is at Portland this week. The pennant race ends Sept. 21. It may take almost that long to decide the outcome between Hollywood and Oakland. Oakland has the batting punch and some top flight pitching; Hollywood has the speed, hustle, the league's top pitcher in Johnny Lindell, the leading base-stealer in Carlos Bernier, and unlimited reserves. The schedule favors the Oaks somewhat, but the strong Hollywood bench might turn the scales in the Stars' favor. A game scheduled last night between San Diego at Seattle was postponed because of rain. Jimmy Clark New Contender For PGA Honors FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP)—The Professional Golfers' association may have a new contender for top money honors in Jimmy Clark, who defeated PGA National Champion Jim Turnesa in an 18-hour playoff for the $15,000 Fort Wayne open title Monday. Clark, 31-year-old Laguna Beach, Calif., pro played like a champion in downing the Briarcliff, N.Y., veteran by one stroke with a three-under par 69. They went into the playoff by carding equal 16-under — par 272—in the regulation 72-hole play over the Elks Country club course. Clark never led during the tournament but kept among the leaders and came up with a five-under par 67 Sunday to gain the tie. Behind them in the field were such PGA stars as Marty Furgol of Chicago, national open champion Julius Boros of Mid-Pines, N.C., Cary Middlecoff of Memphis, and Lawson Little of Pebble Beach, Calif. Clark's previous record in the PGA circuit was not too impressive, but he won the 1952 Wilmington Azalea open with the same sharp, steady game he showed at Fort Wayne. His victory Monday was good for $2400 first place money. Turnesa won $1800. Clark won the playoff on the 17th hole by sinking a six-foot putt for a birdie three. Turnesa chipped short and missed a 10-foot putt to get a par 4. The Californian led all the way to the 13th hole, but Turnesa's birdie three put him one stroke up. Clark evened it on the next hole, held even on the 15th hole. Virgil Trucks was riding on the clouds today but if the double no-hit pitcher of the Detroit Tigers was going around in circles, who could blame him? The 33-year-old righthander, suffering his poorest season in the majors, suddenly finds himself in the pitchers' mythical hall of fame, joining Johnny Vander Meer and Allie Reynolds on a special pedestal reserved for those who achieve two no-hitters in the same season. Trucks held the New York Yankees hitless yesterday at the Yankee stadium and won, 1-0, in a sensational, thrill packed performance that cut the world champions' American league lead to one game over the Cleveland Indians, who defeated Washington, 7-2. The classic came just three months and 10 days after he hand-suffled the Washington Senators without a hit or a run on May 5. The Birmingham fireballer also has pitched a one-hitter, a two-hitter, a four-hitter, a five-hitter and two six-hitters. Yet he has only five victories to show for his efforts as against 15 defeats. Only Art Hontteman, a teammate, has lost more. A seventh inning double by Walter Dropo followed by Stoyne Souhock's single off rookie Bill Millner provided Trucks with the winning margin. It was his third 1-0 triumph and his first victory since he hurled a one-hitter against the Senators July 22. Even yesterday, in his greatest tour of glory, the jinx was reactant to leave him. It was not until the Yankees were going to bat in the seventh inning that Trucks learned he had a no-hitter going. Until then, along with everyone else, was under the assumption that he had allowed it in the third inning. In that inning, Phil Rizzuto stopped a simple grounder to short. Johnny Pesky fielded the ball cleanly and then bobbled it into his glove as he tried to pick it out for the throw to first. After one bad stab, he grabbed it but the toss was low and late and Rizzuto was safe. John Drebinger, official scorer and veteran baseball writer of the New York Times, called it an error immediately and the 'E' was flashed on the scoreboard in centerfield. Then, after a moment's reflection, he reversed himself. Under the impression that the ball had stuck in the webbing of Pesky's clove, Drebinger changed it to a hit. Still not satisfied, Drebinger telephoned Pesky in the visitors' dugout as the Tigers came to bat in the seventh and the shortstop readily took the blame. "It was my fault," he explained. "I had it in my glove but it squirted loose just as I reached to take it out." Drebinger then reversed himself again, ruled it an error and had the public address system announce it to the customers. The crowd greeted the announcement with a roar of applause and Trucks, visibly affected, worked all the harder in the three remaining innings.
