April 27, 1952 Water Skiiers Race to New World Record Miami, Fla. (U.R) A pretty blonde and her husky companion whizzed across the Atlantic to a new world's water-skiing dis tance record Saturday, barely escaping tragedy when 20-foot waves dunked them in the shark- infested seas 60 miles out of Miami. ' A huge wave tore the tow line from shapely Evie Wolford's grasp and her partner, 33-year-aid IJruce Parker, released his line to save her after they had skimmed 135 miles from Nassau in the Bahamas. "We agreed that If one fell, the other would let go," said the 21-year-old blonde. "So Bruce let go and joined me In the water." When the storm-tossed seas overpowered the Amityville, N. Y., couple, they were near Gun Cay, more than two-thirds of the way on their 196-mile non-stop trip from Nassau to Miml. But it bettered by 15 miles the previ ous mark set by Franz Stein hardt on Lake Michigan. Neither of us are very tired," Parker insisted. "If we had a break in the weather we could have made the trip easily." DUDEN IN" TOURNEY Sacramento. Calif.

Pitching Lapses Gives Seals Win San Francisco (U.R) Sacra mento Southpaw Glenn Elliott had pitching lapses in two In nings Saturday and the San Francisco Seals took advantage of them for 4-3 victory over the Solonj before 2,008 fans. Fireman Bob Muncrlff had to be called from the Seal bullpen in the ninth inning to snuff out a Solon rally. With one out and the tying and winning runs on the bases, Muncrlff replaced Matt Zidich, Seals' second and winning pitcher, and dampened Sacramento's bid. - Elliott, a deliberate, crafty southpaw, allowed 11 hits. Four of them came In the fourth in ning, costing him two runs, and another four came In the eighth, costing him two more tallies. Four singles by Jimmy Moran, Joe Grace, Bill McCawley and Len Noren deprived Elliott and Sacramento of the game.
