PETERSBURG, Fla., UP—The holdout segment of the New York Yankees was sliced again Saturday when two star pitchers and a no-hitter infielder agreed to serve. Vic Raschl, veteran right-hander, southpaw Ed Ford and Mal Segrist entered the fold, cutting the dissatisfied group to four. Sherrill Phil Rizzuoto and first backer Johnny Mize are expected to sign within a few days. Neither is curious belker but both want more time before reporting. Billy Martin, the second baseman, remains at his home in Berkeley, Calif., while outfielder Gene Woodling turned down the club's latest offer Saturday in a conference with Assistant General Manager Ray Hamay. Ready after a vain effort to get a raise settled for the same amount he received in 1952, $40,000. He won 16 games last year, below his usual 20 victory standard. Ford, who had been offered $3000 won his holdout squabble when the club topped that figure by $1000. The 24-year-old pitcher received $5000 in 1950, his last season. He has been in the army since. Segrist, who failed as a rookie last season, accepted $7000, the original offer. Woodling is seeking $25,000, a longtime over the 20 grand he got less year. The club has offered $22,000.

In the 220 run Peralta injured his leg and was forced to stop, while Goyd captured the dash in the time of 22:2. Goyd came back in the 440 to again show his beel to his teammates as he galloped the quarter in a surprising early season time of $3.7. Larry Smith won the 860, and Eberhard was out in front at the finish of the mile. According to Kleth, brawny Jerry Boren was putting the shot at around the 48 foot mark, and could develop into a league winner with practice and desire. Kleth turned out one Anaheim's best field man when another Jerry, Shipkey, was at the school. The local track fans will see the team in action when they go to the Santa Ana Relays next Thursday. The Relays were formerly known as the Brea Relays but now have been taken over by the Santa Ana High School. Events begin at 1:45.

Whitefield's two record-breaking performances in the same race—the 500-600 were breath taking. He shaved huge chunks off both former marks. The recognized 600-yard record was 1:102 held firmly by himself, John Borican and Hugh Short, while the 500-meter mark was 1:04.4, set back in 1939 by Wesley Wallace.

He won the half-mile in 1:50.9, four-tenths of a second off Borican's mark and was caught in 1:50.1 at the 800 meters, just one tenth of a second behind Borican's standard.

Whitfield held back for couple of laps but when he decided to make his move there was more race. ANDING STILL The crowd of 13,000 must have night McKenley and Curotta standing still, so fast did several Mal whip past them as they were beaten, they let and Pearman caught up with Whitfield, for that matter, also up as is his habit in the final or four yards, and he probably would have knocked another of a second off the record if gone across the tape at full speed.

Vanderbilt's First Glance, the pace setting fury until the turn into the stretch, ran third in the mile and one quarter battle.

The 59,000 fans who turned out for this 16th running of the race obviously came expecting to celebrate a Calumet clambake, and Mark-Ye-Well went postward a 3-5 favorite—shortest price on any single horse in the history of the race.

The judges called it Mark-Ye-Well by a head, with Trusting, ridden with Willie Shoemaker, nearly four lengths in front of the Vanderbilt horse. Intent Fourth Intent, the disqualified winner of the handicap a year ago and second choice of the public Saturday, trailed fourth, a head back. The race, rich in money, but lean in talent, was whittled down to a slender six when Correspondent, a 3-year-old and Blue Reading, another California horse, were scratched during the afternoon. The weather was chilly and the skies gloomy back of a shroud of fog as the sextet paraded to the post. As expected, First Glance, the speed horse in the pack was sent into a quick lead by his rider, Eric Guerin. Mark-Ye-well, a good sprinter himself until Trainer Jimmy Jones began stretching him out for distance races, stayed just behind and duelled alternately around the strip for the place spot with Trusting. Began Pulling Up At the far turn Mark-Ye-Well began to pull up on First Glance and tried to shake off Trusting, while Intent made a move to get into the race. Rounding into the stretch, Arcaro sent Mark-Ye-Well into the front and built up a nice lead over First Glance. Trusting was trailing close behind. Anaheim Jr. High Team Takes 2nd The Anaheim "Leftouts" took the runnerup spot in the Santa Ana Recreation Department's Tournament as they ran into a red hot ball club from Santa Ana and came out second best, 36-26.

Ted dropped in a total of 18 points to cop tine games scoring honors. The Leftouts lost their first game in the tournament to these same Lakers, but played winning ball in the losers bracket to again gain the opportunity to play the Santa Ana team. Two weeks ago the high school freshman and fremont Jr. high group downed the favored Santa Ana five 35-29, to force the play off game Saturday. Ronnie Fuller and Jerry Goodchild scored 7 and 9 points, but Deftlaft, plus four others were to much for the Anaheimers. Mickey Flynn and Joe Avita played a bang-up game, as they did every thing but hit on their shots. Joe had to leave the game in the third quarter when he chalked up his fifth personal foul. It was the foul shots that were received by the Lakers that made the bug difference. The Lakers hit on 14 out of a possible 20 charity tosses, while the home town quintet connected on 4 of their 8 attempts. The first quarter found the Anaheim boys with only one point, that on a free toss. After this poor start the Anaheim group held their own, but could never make up the 10 point advantage that the Lakers jumped off to.

Either Mark-Ye-Well or Arcaro began to loaf a little or the colt's high weight of 130 pounds began to tell, but suddenly money-ridder Eddie found himself confronted with a real threat in the final strides to the wire. Arcaro gave the Bull Lea offspring a few healthy whacks and got him across. The finish was much like the two staged in winning the $100,-000 Santa Anita Maturity for 4-year-olds Jan 31 and exactly as Eddie did a week ago in winning the $100,000 Santa Anita derby for Calumet on Chanlea. The first Hall of Fame game at Cooperstown, N.Y., was held in 1940. The Cubs beat the Red Sox 10-9, in a game called at the end of the seventh inning because of rain. ANAHEIM GAZETTE, INC.

This marked the first time this season that a Sunset League quintet had beaten the big boys from the Beach City. In the first quarter it was all Gayle Herbel and Ames, as the two combined to score all of the 16 digits that were registered on the scoreboard. The Oilers suffered a huge loss in the first of the game when their "towler" Dick Stricklin, turned an ankle and couldn't see action until the second half. In the second quarter it was Ames, this time alced by Beach, that kept pace with the opposition in the scoring column. Big Dennis Ryan and Dave Moody cleared the defensive backboards for the locals. AMES HITS IN LAST SECOND In the second half Anaheim jumped off to an early lead as the not-handed Ames sank three long losses and one charity throw to out his team out in front 38-30. But then the Beachmen took time out, and returned to tie the ball game 44-44. The lead changed hands twice, although with one second remaining in the 3rd quarter, Ames hit a desperation 35-foot two pointer to bring the locals to within one point, as the quarter ended 50-49. BEACH COMES THROUGH With only eight minutes left Jumped off to an early lead as the not-handed Ames sank three losses and one charity throw tooul his team out in front 38-30.

BEACH COMES THROUGH With only eight minutes left both teams went into a semi-stall as each waited for an opening. Stricklin hit on a free toss, Ames dropped a free throw, and Wayne Young connected for a field goal. That was to be all for the champs as the local boys waited for their chance, and when it arrived Beach knew what to do. Like sank a beautiful one handed shot from the right side line to tie up the ball game. Then Mike was awarded foul shots on two occasions and came through with a three out of four percentage to score the last five points of the ball game and bring Anaheim the highly desired end they sought. COACH DESERVES CREDIT A great deal of credit should be given to Coach Bill Hunstock, who brought the Varsity five along the point now where they will enter the CIF Playoffs feeling that they have beaten what some people refer to as the best ball club Southern California. Prior to the Varsity contest, Anaheim subs scrimmaged their counterparts from the beach team,opping a wide-open fraçasse,60-,as the Oller substitutes,the majority only sophmores,completely out-towered the Anaheim reserves.
