Angels, Stars Notch Coast League Wins Los Angeles U.R) Jim Bolger slammed a two-run hom er over the left field wall Sat urday as the Los Angeles An gels took a 5-1 Pacific coast league victory to cinch their five-game series over the Sacra mento Solons. Dave Hillman went the dis tance for the league leaders to log a 16-4 record for the season. The loser was Earl Harrist (11- 10). He took the mound for Gene Bearden, who failed to play be cause of Illness. The win gave Los Angeles a 3-0 lock on the series, which winds up with a double header tomorrow. Jim Bolger slammed out his 24th home run of the year in the fifth to come in behind Wade, aboard with a single, for two more Angel tallies. Los Angeles got two more runs In the seventh frame. Bob Coats singled in both Mauch who singled, and Bolger, who doubled. San Francisco U.R) Right hander Laurie Pepper, making his Pacific Coast league debut, singled in the winning run in the seventh inning Saturday to give the Hollywood Stars a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Seals. Pepper, recently acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, rap ped a single over second to drive in catcher Bill Hall, who had doubled, to break a 2-2 dead- Nashua III; Scratched Mays Landing, N. J., (U..j Blue Sparkler, a four-year-old filly from the Woodland farm, scrampered to an upset victory in the $100,000 Atlantic City handicap Saturday after Nashua had been scratched because of an attack fo colic. Nashua, who was the odds-on choice for the rich invitational race, was withdrawn earlier in the afternoon when Alfie Robert son, one of his handlers, noticed he was ill. Veterinarians were called to Nashua's stall and gave the big colt an anti-spasmodic injec tion. Although the ailment was not considered too serious, it probably will sideline the world's leading money-winner for sever al weeks. ' . In the absence of Nashua, the race then shaped up as a battle between Find and Mister Gus, but it was the fleet-footed Blue Sparkler who "stole" the show and the winner's purse of $65,000. Taking the lead at the outset of the mile and one-eighth event, Blue Sparkler, with Sam Bul metis urging her on, remained in front all the way to win by a half length. Skipper Bill, another out sider, gained the runer-up spot by a nose over Find.

(U.R) rrankie Rnsch, apparently out of danger after being stricken with a heart attack on Thursday, rested comfortably at New Ro chelle hospital Saturday and in sisted on hearing the latest base ball scores. The 58-year-old hall of famer. who starred as an infielder with the New York Giants and St Louis Cardinals and later served as a major league manager with three clubs, was described "resting very well" by his phy sician, Dr. James Vauehan. Dr. Vaughan said he was sat isfied with Frisch's progress, but added it was too early to deter mine how long the former "Ford- ham Flash would be confined to the hospital. 'He's been demanding ever since he came to the hospital to hear the latest baseball scores Dr. Vaughan said. "He's a real fighter." Frisch, who conducts an in terview-type show over a New York television station following each New York Giants home game, suffered the heart attack on Thursday night and was tak en to the hospital where his con dition at first was described as critical." However, Dr. Vauehan said that Frisch had suffered a mild attack not of a coronary nature ana said his chances of recov ery "are very good." Only members of the immedi ate family are permitted to vis it Frisch, who in 19 major league seasons compiled a .319 batting average and generally was considered one of the top in fielders of his era. He managed the Cardinals during their heyday as the "Gas- house Gang" and later led the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Lubs before entering the broad casting end of baseball. George Shaw Leads Colts Hershey, Pa. (U.R) The Bal timore Colts came from behind with two last period touchdowns Saturday night to upset the Phil adelphia Eagles, 24-13, and mar the debut of Hugh Devore, the Eagles' new coach in a national football league exhibition. . A seven-yard pass from George Shaw to Lloyd Coltervahn in the first two minutes or the last period gave the Colts the lead for the first time after the score. had been knotted twice in the first half.

Potent Seraphs Blast 18 Hits Against Solons By JOHN McDONALD . United Press Sports Writer "Give the Los Angeles Angels a couple of front line pitchers, put them in the American league and they'd finish second only to the New York Yankees. That was manager Joe Gord on of the San Francisco Seals talking early this month when his Seals were taking their bit of lumps from the Angels, cur rently in a cake walk toward the Pacific Coast league pen nant. The Seal skipper may have been placing the Angels a trifle high, but the mighty Cherubs have 'to rate as one of the great est powerhouses in PCL history. They put on another of their muscle flexing shows Friday night banging out 18 hits for a thumping 11-7 victory over Sacramento. The win moved the Angles to 10V4 games in front of the fad ing Seattle Rainiers, who ran into the red-hot Ryne Duren notching his second straight shutout, 1-0, for Vancouver. The San Diego Padres took the op ener of their series with Port land 6-4, and the Hollywood Stars held off San Francisco 4-3 in other games. The Padres bunched four runs in the third inning and collected two more in the sixth to take the measure of the Portland Beavers 6-4 in their Pacific Coast league baseball game here Friday night. Jansen Return To Big Leagues Spectacular One By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Cinncinati RAlegs were delighted today to forgive and forget eight years of misery at the hands of Larry Jansen. Purchased from Seattle of the Pacific Coast league last Mon day, the 36-year old Jansen made a spectacular return to the big leagues Friday night when he pitched the Redlegs to an 8-1 win over the Milwaukee Braves in the opener of a kev three-game series. The triumph moved the Red- legs into second place one game behind the first Dlare Rravps and a half length in front of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who had bowed to the Philadelphia Phil lies, 3-2. Jansen, who ran uo an am azing 24-4 record against the Redlegs during his career with tne iNew York Giants, limited the Braves to nine hits. The Redlegs backed Larrv with an eight-hit attack that in cluded a grand slam homer bv catcher Ed Bailey. Swimmers Ready For Olympics By CONNIE RYAN United Press Sports Writer Detroit (U.R) U.S. swimmers were impressive enough as they set many new American records last week in the Olympic trials, but they will be even better in the heat of the actual competi tion at Melbourne, team coach Bob Muir predicted Saturday They are real competitors," he said. "They have the knack of doing their best when it's really needed, and we know it will be needed in the Olympics." Dan Ferris, the sage secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union who has been watching inter national sport for many years, agreed with Muir's sum-up. Our people are good, tough competitors, and that's an es sential because most of the oth er nations' swimmers are just as capable of being inspired to new records on the day and in the race they really want to win," he said. Muir was particularly pleased with the overall power of his team. 'We have depth three-deep," he said. "Injury or a bad day won't kill us. If one man or girl is having a bad day, we still have a one-two punch at them".

Schmidt, the usually mild commissioner of the Pacific Coast Conference, stood today as a strong exponent of the PCC's "get tough" policy in the wake of his smashing attack against booster clubs which made illegal payoffs to athletes. Schmidt told the Common wealth Club of California Fri day that such boosters have em barked on a "species of prop aganda" ever since the confer ence levied a series of drastic penalties against four member schools this year for violations of the athletic code. At the same time, he pointed out that neither UCLA nor Southern California, two pf the most heavily penalized schools, should be judged by the grat uitous statements of boosters or groups expressing certain senti ments." Secession Move A strong move for secession from the conference developed in the Los Angeles area, where these two schools are located, after both were banned from the Rose Bowl, fined and had numerous gridders placed on the ineligible list for taking under-the-table payoffs. UCLA was banned for three years from the Bowl, fined the equivalent of 95,000 and had all of its gridders penalized a year of eligibility. Southern Cal ifornia was docked $63,400, bar red from the Bowl two years and had 42 football players put on the ineligible list. California and Washington suffered lesser pun ishment. Earlier this week, the PCC de clared that banned seniors at USC and UCLA could play in any five straight games this fall. Schmidt, hitting at the "mor al implications" involved in se cret payoffs to students, char acterized the organizations do A Vacation w" -'" I I id Your v ss back rxi'K7 YARD! r"""" in, f gll There is still time to enjoy your ESTHER WILLIAMS SWIMMING POOL This Year and Have Your Lawn and Landscaping Perfect for Next Springl Now you can have a 15x30 swimming pool in your own back yard for as low at $1 995OO NOTE THESE SUPERIOR FEATURES: V New inside finish, made of POOLS KIN, smooth and pleasant to touch, easy to keep clean.

"Surprisingly, they have man aged to enlist support," Schmidt said. "Some are quoted as crit ics of the conference. And their supporters are many and also critical of conference action." Schmidt claimed that such ele ments have embarked on what he described as "a species of "impropaganda." " Four Planks He said the drive is conducted like this: "1. Keep silent about the mor al issue involving these kids; "2. Blame the rules as being 'unrealistic; "3. Claim that everyone is guilty and that therefore, what has been done is right and can not be punished; "4. Impugn the motives of all who have had anything to do with the penalties." Schmidt said this fourth phase of the campaign is based on making "a claim of virtue of success, hence jealousy, hence hate and resentment," on the parts of schools which were not found guilty of rules infractions. "These four universities which were penalized -are great universities," Schmidt said. "Do not judge them by the attitudes of those boosters and others who in chagrin of disappointment over a situation that is unhappy to us all, gratuitously undertake to speak for them." Schmidt said that the PCC "has no excuse to exist except upon taking strong action in these cases ... If you cannot enforce your rules in the bad cases when the chips are down you have no rules. They are meaningless." There are almost twice as many automobiles in Los Ang eles as in all of South America. Resort... Completely Installed! Sunday, August 12, ISSt Details of Savage Rapids Screening Agreement Told Details of the agreement be tween the Grants Pass Irrigation district and the Oregon State Game commission on operation ,and maintenance of fish screens to be installed at Savage Rapids dam on Rogue river have been outlined by officials of the dis trict. Signing of the agreement by the two agencies and the appro priation of $208,000 by Congress has assured the screening of irri gation water intake turbines sought for many years by sports, the commission and irrigationists to prevent mutilation and de struction of downstream migrat ing fish. Under the plan the irrigation district will be responsible for two annual appropriations to maintain and operate the screens and to pay for a part-time em ployee to keep motors and other screen equipment in running or der. The district will furnish up to $200 per year for electricity to drive the screens and operate allied installations. Anything above this amount the federal bureau of reclamation will pay. That is the report of Neal Shaf fer, manager, Donald H. " Coul ter, attorney, and O. H. Talbott, board chairman, of the district. Also, $500 will be set aside each year in a reserve fund by the district for maintenance and repair of screen installations. If that amount is more than suf ficient for one year, the sum left over will go into a fund for later use such as possible major repair. Grants Pass Irrigation district will not be obligated for upkeep and repair which exceeds the amount accumulated in the fund. There will be no special or extra assessments against district land, for the electricity or mainten enca fund, the three officials said. -. Actual installation of the screens is not slated until the fall of 1957. However, the bu reau of reclamation will do pre liminary engineering work this October when the water level above the dam is lowered. Screens will be fabricated else where and the bureau will han dle actual installation. The screens, probably three of about 10-foot width will be of revolving mesh type. They will have jets of water pumped on them to keep small fish from being damaged or caught and to keep the devices free of de bris. There will be by-passes for MINOR TUNE-UP THIS MONTH ONLY '49 to '56 Ford Passenger Cars and Light Trucks We will check COMPRESSION YOB'LL GET BACK THAT DEW CAI WITH THIS FORI) ENGINE TUNI-UP CRATER Main & Fir Sts.
