Knowing Your Twilight Is Important When You Start to Referee Tennis By GAYLE TALEOT FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (AP) — The length of time between sunset and pitch darkness doesn't mean a great deal to the average person, and there is no reason trick it should. However, if you are thinking of running a tennis tournament it is a very good thing to know. If there is going to be a really many incident in the course of a tournament, chances are high that it will arise when some player who is ahead in the deciding set wants to keep on playing and his opponent claims he no longer can go to hit the ball. The decision always is a tricky one for the referee, but he can at least make an intelligent stab at the right answer if he knows his twilight. There is a man here, a chaperon retired naval engineer named Edward O. Culler, who can take up a few tools and tell you at exactly what minute the sun will go down at any point in the world on any given day in the year. Also he can tell you when it will become necessary to light the lamps. Every year before the national championship begin, he sits down any draws up a chart showing precisely what the light conditions will be in the West Side Tennis club medium minute by minute for the 10 days of play. With his trusty chart at hand the official referee knows for example that the sun will duck behind the metropolitan hills today at exactly 6:24, that at 6:32 it will be necessary to halt play and that at 6:52 it will be as dark as the inside of a muke's stomach. Thus armed, the referee is able to plan ahead. When things threatened to get sticky in an important match he simply strolls out stiff legged and advises the umpire when to call it off right on the dot. This takes the umbrella Punicec of Yugoslavia. The system's only weakness, as Cutler readily admits is, that all bets are off on a cloudy day. 49ers Picked over Rams in Coliseum Exhibition Game LOS ANGELES (AP)—The national pro champion Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, both unbeaten in football exhibitions, meet tonight in Memorial Coliseum and many experts pick the 49ers to take a close decision. Fifty thousand fans are expected to witness the exhibition, a major test for a pair of clubs rated high in the National Conference of the National Football League. Quarterbacks Bob Waterfield and Norman Van Brocklin have led the Rams to four wins. But their 45-23 and 24-14 scores over the Washington Redskins and Chicago Cardinals do not appear as impressive as San Francisco made against the same two rivals. Frank Albert and his 49er mates whipped the 'akins 35-0 and the Cards 38-14. Coach Joe Stydahar's Rams may be handicapped by the absence of two linemen, Charley Toogood and Flavius Smith and the possible absence of their star end, Elroy Hirsch, who has a sprained ankle. Buck Shaw brings a squad with 33 veterans. Listed in the rookie group are such college greats as halfback Hugh McElhenay of Washington and tackle Bob Toneff of Notre Dame. Los Angeles has 27 veterans. Tennis Clubbers Plan Balboa Trip Members of the Anaheim Tennis club will go to Balboa tomorrow at noon for a head party which will take place of the regular monthly meeting for September. Bob Williams will take his boat and water skis as many of the tennis club members have become quilty proficient in handling them selves on the boards. Netters are reminded by the Recreation Department to bring 20 cents if they wish to indulge in the watermelon feed at six o'clock. Those planning to stay for most of the day should also provide enough additional food for just their own needs. Those who are working are urged to come down for the evening hours. Tennis Juniors Bring Home a Dozen Trophies Anaheim's tennis junior brought home an even dozen trophies and medals from the Orange County Novice Tennis Championships as additional proof of the superiority which they have displayed during the summer tennis tournaments over their friendly rivals. Despite three days of intense heat, the Anaheim group managed to place finalists in seven out of nine events, winning four out of five singles titles, and share in the mixed doubles crown. Floyd Baker, Judy Debevere Mike Bouck, and Karen Lenail won the championships in their respective singles divisions, with Miss Lenain also teaming with Godfrey Kylma of Fullerton to take the mixed doubles. Trophies and medals were awarded to all winners and runners-up by the Santa Ana Recreation department. With his trusty chart at hand the official referee knows for example that the sun will duck behind the metropolitan hills today at exactly 6:24. But at 6:32 it will be necessary to halt play and that at 6:52 it will be as dark as the inside of a mulk's stomach. Thus armed, the referee is able to plan ahead. When things threatened to get stolky in an important match he simply strolls out stiff legged and advises the empire when to call it off right on the dot. This takes the image off the spot, and forestalls a lot of arguments. Cutler has been providing the chart as a bobby ever since 1939, when there was the granddaddy of a row about playing the final set of a match between Frank Guermay of this country and Fe. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 1877 At the Monte barbecue last week, a stranger sauntered along and inquired of a bystander, "Who are these men in that crowd over there?" "Oh," was the response. "There are two or three gentlemen and the rest are candidates." Even so— The boys were out Thursday evening to serenade Mr. and Mrs. Bid Miles. This practice of beating old tin pans and coal oil cans at every wedding which takes place is not only annoying but is a mean, dirty practice, and one of which every good boy should be ashamed. The ditch question is agitating the minds of the people north of Anaheim. Water or no water is the vexed question. PORTRAITS Children and Weddings a Specialty SPEARS Camera Shop & Photo Supply 117 S.

Oaks Bop Hollywood in 13th Inning; Hatten Beats Seals with Rare Form By The Associated Press They are 5½ games out of first place, but Mel Ott's Oakland Acorns can't be counted out of the fight for the Pacific Coast League pennant. The double defeat Hollywood dealt the Oaks Monday might have taken the fight out of a less stout-hearted club. But the Oaklanders battled 13 innings last night to win a game that Hollywood seemed to have won with a three-run lead and Johnny Lindell, the league's leading pitcher, going nicely. The final score was 4 to 3 and the winning clout was Tookie Gilbert's 27th home run. Couldn't Deliver Hollywood had ample opportunities but couldn't deliver in the pinch. In the 13th Carlos Bernier doubled, but George Bamberger struck out the usually reliable Tommy Saffell. Los Angeles bounced back from Monday's double defeat by San Francisco to get a 5 to 0 decision. Lefty Joe Hatten was in rare form. He got some long distance clouting support as Leon Brinkoff delivered his 21st homer with a man on in the sixth. Chuck Connors hit his sixth round-tripper in the same inning. Only 754 fans showed up. It was the poorest crowd of the season in spacious Wrigley Field. Stx Hitter San Diego and Portland battled through nine innings to a 1-1 tie, but San Diego broke loose for three runs in the tenth and took aand Booher lost to Neiger and Lowe 6-3; Western and Rainer defeated Neiger and Lowe 5-7; K.

Members of the football team were sweating shortly after the practice sessions started, in spite of early morning and late afternoon practice hours that have been scheduled. Morning practices start at 9 o'clock and end about 10:30 and afternoon practices begin at 4 o'clock. Callisthenics Colonist gridders split into backfield and line groups and worked out separately at first, then joined forces for callisthenics under the leadership of Bill Hicks. Hicks himself got a good workout while leading the exercises, but some of his charges showed the signs of wear more than he did. Youngsters to See Ram Games Lots of lusty-voiced youngsters will be cheering their football heroes at the Los Angeles coliseum this year by courtesy of the LA Rams and the LA junior chamber of commerce — and a thoughtful sponsor. The Rams have made 40,000 west end seats available for the "Free Football for Kids" program which they are jointly sponsoring with the junior chamber. Under the plan any adult buying a special $2 general admission ticket will be entitled to take up to five kids—under 14 years old—free to any Ram home game. Adults who would like to send a group of youngsters to the game, but will be unable to attend themselves, can send the money to the junior chamber offices, 1151 S. Broadway. The civic group will Anybody with a high weight problem should have no worries at all. Between Hicks and the sun everybody will be able to answer to the name of "Slim" before long. During a break, and a short one at that, Coach Van Hoorebeke told team members to take care of the blisters that have already shown up and also to take care of their feet. Rest and Food He also told them to get lots of rest and to eat right in order that they may get the full benefits of the early conditioning workouts now under way. At the other end of the field, Coaches Bill Hunstock and Sam Keith are starting to whip their "B" football team into shape. About 18 B's were out on Monday and a few showed up Tuesday. Emphasis here, as with the varsity is on conditioning, but some light contact work against blocking dummies and passing drills break the monotony of physical training. Up from the "C" team are Harold Heinrich, Frank Doretti, Vince Deveney, Ronnie Sabo, Bob Loustau and Danny Salnets. Only returninyg letterman is Ben Kartcher. The C's play their first game at Redlands on Sept. 19, a preliminary game to the varsity's opening contest. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC. Established 1870 Theodore B.
