5 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1934 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Colonist Ball Club Takes Close Win from Pomona; Wiethorn Stars Coach John Wallin's hustling hardballers brought Anaheim union high school another win last Thursday when they dropped the potent Pomona high nine, 5-4. The game was played on the Pomona school diamond. Val Wiethorn, the Colonist's ace southpaw chucker, put on a real one-man show as he garnered a triple and a double in three official trips to the plate, drove in Ritz Cleaners Walks Off with Northrop Five The finals of the City League Basketball Playoffs got unleashed Tuesday evening at the high school gym. Ritz Cleaners race horse five, drubbed the Northrup team 68-23 in a surprising walk-away. Duane Masterson, Roger Pannier, Bob Stuart and Don Bryant hit 14, 14, 15, and 16 digits each to put the Ritz gang one up in this best two out of three series, to decide the playoff championship. Northrop Scores 5 in Second Half The Northrop quintet took the floor Tuesday without the services of their ace center, Hugh Falkner. The boys from the plant could do no right, they scored only five points in the entire second half and all these on free throws. "Swede" Dolne was high point man for the losers, with 8 points. The half-time score was comparatively close at 28-18. But at the beginning of the second half the aggressive live from the Cleaners took full command. They grabbed rebounds, stole passes and hit on almost everything they two of the Colonist runs, scored a third himself, and then held the powerful Pomona batsmen to four safeties. Wiethorn struck out 11 men and walked only one in the eight-inning game. The Colonist scoring started in the second inning when Wiethorn led off with a free pass, advanced to second on a passed ball, and romped home when the Pomona catcher erred on George Bishop's infield dribler. With one away in the third inning Pat Roberts and Dave Moody got on base via the charity route, and scored on Wiethorn's triple. The locals added another run in the fourth when Lupe Gonzales singled, stole second and came home on Dennis Ryan's single. It was Ryan and Gonzales again in the sixth: Gonzales reached first on an error, advanced on another Pomona miscue and added the winning run when the Pomona infield failed to coordinate on Ryan's bunt. The Pomona scoring came about in the big third inning when the Pomoa nine combined three hits and three Anaheim bobbies for three of their four runs. Their fourth run was added in the "charity" eighth inning the two coaches agreed on after the regular seven-inning practice game.

Anaheimers Barker and Dick Hansen combined their talents in the first doubles match, to come from behind and win 4-6, 6-1, and 6-3. In the second doubles, Warrick and Phil Wright, of the Colonist, captured two more big points when they dropped their Orange Coast opponents, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.

Rude, vice president and chairman of the executive committee of the Security-First National bank, has been named general chairman for the $1,130,000 Episcopal advance fund campaign, which will benefit many church-sponsored community and charitable institutions in Southern California, by Bishop Francis Eric Bloy. Rude will coordinate all activities of the first diocesan-wide expansion fund program undertaken by the Episcopal church in the 80-county diocese. Simultaneous with Rude's appointment, the date for the special convention of the diocese, which will launch the campaign, at St. Paul's cathedral, Los Angeles, which was originally scheduled for April 17, is now set for April 16. It's been mighty good to see so many Orange county people in Sacramento this past week and over the weekend in San Francisco at the convention of the Republican state central committee. Mayor Roy Seabridge and Councilman Herb Wood of Huntington Beach dropped in on me as I was attending the hearing on the ways and means committed on bills by Assemblyman Richard McCollister (R) of Mill Valley and H. W. "Pat" Kelly (R) of Shafter. Their bills call for an appropriation of $500,000 to make a comprehensive study of the engineering and financial feasibility of solid fill bay crossings. Mr. Durkee of the department of public works and Mr. Dean director of the department of finance also testified before the committee. As I have indicated in an earlier column the legislature is going into this problem, recognizing that up to this date no competent and complete engineering conclusions are available upon which to base aggressive legislative action. Other Orange countians who were up on business during the week were Mayor Norman Miller of Newport Beach and Rodger Howell, Santa Ana attorney for the Orange county water district. In San Francisco it was our pleasure to attend sessions of the state central committee meeting with Walbur Scott of Fullerton, president of the Orange county Young Republicans, Mrs. W. W. EASTER SPRUCE UP SPECIAL — WITH EACH PAIR OF SHOES FOR MOTHER $1.00 DISCOUNT ON EACH PAIR OF SHOES FOR EACH OF YOUR CHILDREN $4.45 to $6.50 THURSDAY, FRIDAY A March 19, 20, EXCLUSIVELY 308 West Center St. — Anaheim Haims, Turkeys Ready for CARE Easter Gifts CARE, the non-profit package sending organization, has made volume purchases of hams and turkeys for special Easter gift parcels from Americans to friends, relatives or needy families overseas. O. G. Thomason, local CARE chairman, announced today. "These packages which may be sent to meat-hungry families known to the donor or selected by CARE, will give an abundance to Easter happiness and make an appropriate Easter offering from individual Americans to those less fortunate abroad," Mr. Thomason said. "An order today will place meat on the table overseas, perhaps for the first time in weeks. But the supply is limited and the time is short." A selected, cooked premium ham weighing eight and a half pounds, may be sent for $10, according to Thomason, or for $12 a tinned turkey weighing not less than eight and a third pounds. These are available for many parts of Europe and Asia, he said. The meats have been stocked at various strategic points to insure Easter delivery. All CARE parcels go tax and duty free, the CARE chairman said. Orders for special CARE gift Easter ham or turkey packages or contributions in any amount may be sent to CARE, 855 S. Broadway, Los Angeles. Clarence Wagners Entertain Guests From Canada Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wagner of 9122 S.

Earl Warren, Lt. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, the new state controller, Robert Kirkwood, and the state chairman, Laughlin Waters. Special guest at the Saturday evening program was Congressman Patrick J. Hillings of Arcadia, with whom I went to law school. Pat told me he was out here to set up congressional hearings in San Francisco expected to be held early next month. Personal highlight of the evening was our introduction by Congressman Hillings of Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, the honored guest and featured speaker and the new treasurer of the United States, a marvelous person who gave an inspiring address, and typling the Eisenhower administration, gives us all a deep feeling of confidence and faith in the future.
