Short-pantied Robert swings out for two-run homer to start Hollywood off on 5-3 win over Portland. Catcher is Johnny Ritchey. Umpire is Jack Powell. (if) photo Down iacramento Troy Overwhelms an Jose, Fresno afternoon by taking the field in shorts.

The revealing costumes, some thing new ia baseball, apparently not only startled but stunned the visiting players, for they proceeded to get just two hits while dropping a 5-to-3 decision. The outcome gave the Coast League champions a lead of four games to one in the series, which winds up with the usual Sab bath double-header today, and also maintained them at the top of the standings. Jim Hughes, 27-year-old right hander who spent half of the 1949 campaign exiled in Santa Barbara, performed the pitching pretty. For five innings he fashioned no-hit, no-run stuff, but a homer by Luis Marquez with two on and none out in the sixth ruined everything except the impending victory. Fans Four Hughes fanned four and walked two en route to his im pressive win.

John Ritchey drew one of the passes to start the sixth and Bill Fleming followed with hrst nit, a siz zling ground single past third. Then Marquez lost one over the right field fence. Evidently unperturbed, Hughes retired the remaining 12 enemy batters in order. Hollywood won the game in the very first frame. Roy Helser, who flew in from his college coaching job in Ore gon, started for the visitors.

Ob viously rusty from lack of prac tice (it was his first day with the squad) Helser couldn't get anybody out but himself. Chuck Stevens opened with a single off Helser's glove. Little Bob Bundy followed with a homer. WThen Eddie Sauer and Frankie Kelleher walked, Sauer having first advanced via a balk, STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE 4 3 3 2 2 2 la 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 Pet. .800 .600 .600 .600 .400 .400 .400 .200 HOLLYWOOD LOS ASGELKS San Diego Seattle Oakland San Francisco Sacramento Portland nanu i Games behind leader.

The locals, outhit in their pre vious four starts, totalled 11 blows. Bundy followed his hom-. er with two singles, then went out twice, raising his average to .471, tops for the squad.

as Winners Run Up 1 1 5-Point Total BY BOB WEIDE Southern California's ever-winning tracksters proved in capital letters they're READY for Stanford's talented In BY FRANK FINCH Times Staff Representative EDMONDS FIELD, Sacramento, April 1 Bill Kelly's noble seraphs skidded into a three-way tie for second place tonight when they lost their second straight game to Sacra dians this week as they thundered to an easy triangular Yale's Marshall Breaks Two More World's Records NEW HAVEN, April 1 () John Marshall, the sleek Australian, tonight bettered two more world swimming records including one made by Japan's great Hironoshin Furuhashi. Marshall sped the 400 meters free style in 4m. 29.5s. and 440 yards in 4m. 31.2s.

Marshall in winning his third National AAU individual crown placed his name boldly alongside swimming's immortals. Only five men in the 46 years of the American championships have won' three crowns, and none has assaulted world records the way Marshall did. Greater Performance Last night Marshall lowered the 200-yard free style record, but his performance tonight was even greater. The listed record lor 400 meters is 4m. 34.6s.

by Furuhashi, who was the sensation of the outdoor championships last summer in Los Angeles, and the 440-yard mark is 4m. 33.5s. by Bill Smith. Furuhashi has a time of 4m. 33.3s.

for 400 meters pending, but Marshall's super performance tonight knocked almost four, seconds off is a 20-year-old shy youth with an engaging grin, a Tarn to Page 16, Column 6 One of the outstanding aspects of the 1950 track and field season, which gets a great running start Saturday when Southern California and Stanford clash at Memorial Coliseum, is the abundance of great shot-putters extant. There are at least a half dozen weight men who have flipped the cannon ball better 54 feet and it is of additional interest that out of the top seven 16-pound weight tossers of the nation revealed so far this year four are from California. FUCHS TOPS LIST Wilbur (Moose) Thompson, the 1948 Olympic champion' and record holder, still has the best mark among our California stars but he hasn't approached his 56ft. 2 in. mark since he set it in London.

No. 2 is the blond giant at Stanford, Otis Chandler, who hit 54ft 11 in. in the NCAA championships here last spring. He's neck and neck with Lew Davis, who also wears the Red of Stanford. Fourth man is Notre Dame's John el wig, an Angeleno from Mt.

Carmel High, who seems to be headed for a great year. Of course the top man in shot-pitching circles continues to be Jim Fuchs, the grimacing Yale tosser who flipped the weight 57ft 1 in. in the New York Athletic Club games in the Garden thi3 winter. RECORD IX TROUBLE That's not quite a foot short of Jim's world record-eclipsing pitch of 58ft. ,4 in.

turned in last summer. About the time Fuchs appears here with the Yale team in the triangular meet with Southern California and Michigan State late this month, he should be ready to give the record another refreshing. Stan Lampert of New York University and Charles Fon-ille, the former Michigan star who barely missed making the Olympic team in '48, already have shaded 55 feet in indoor meets. Getting back to the Coast contingent, Chandler and Davis figure to give the Indians first and second against Coach Jess Hill's Trojans Saturday and it wouldn't surprise anyone if either or both give 55 feet a close brush. EDGE TO CHANDLER Young Chandler, who was a middle-distance man in prep school before he started building himself with weight lifting, had the edge on Davi3 until yesterday.

That's when Lew April Fooled everybody with a brilliant 54 ft 7Viiru toss while Chandler heaved one 54ft. 6in. Prior to that, Davis best this year was a 9M'm. effort, while Chandler had unleashed one for 53ft 10 in. at the Long Beach Relays.

Jess Swope, Troy's best is still recovering from a foot injury and probably will not be ready to give either of these suuwarcs compeuuon. As a matter of fact, there probably isn't a college shot-putter in the West this year who can keep Chandler and Davis from taking the top two places in our meets this spring. BROTHER ACT John Helwig's prowess in the weight department is nothing new here. At Mt Carmel he set a national interscholas-tic mark of 59ft 5 Tain, with the 12-pound shot. When he arrived at Notre Dame he started out by pitching the 16-pounder at 50 feet and has improved ever since.

This spring he won the Indoor Central College shot-put at 54ft which is his top effort to date. Pushing John at Notre Dame is his brother Joe, who finished second to John in the highly competitive Central meet The Irish have had five indoor meets to date and John has Von the shot in all of them, including a victory over, Fonville. The Trojans also will remember him as a line backer on the Notre Dame eleven. LIFTS WEIGHTS, TOO John always has-been the more athletic of the two Hel-wigs. He collected 11 letters at Mt a 1, winning All-Catholic scholastic honors as an end there.

He stands 6 feet 2 inches and now weighs 198 pounds. John and Joe, who room together at Notre Dame, attribute a lot of their shot-putting success to the fact that both are weight lifters, a sport taught to them by their father. It's an interesting thing that they, like Chandler, have found this sport an asset to their shot-putting prowess. Coach Dink Templeton made quite a point in a magazine article a year ago on the phenomenal rise of Chandler to stardom about Otis using weight lifting as a training device. PA: Young Chandler's innovation may help move the world's shot-put record beyond 60 feet one of these days.

triumph over San Jose State Coliseum. Jess Hill's SC cindermen put 115 points on the elaborate Coliseum scoreboard to finish ahead of San Jose (30) and Fresno State (16). Dick Attlesey, Trojan hurdle star, was an absolute show-stopper as he glided over the highs in the impressive time of 14.1S;, second best time in the nation this season, and then came back to annex the 220 lows in 23.5s. Attlesey had never gone the full 220 yards over the low barriers before, either in a meet or practice. Lawrence Hot Coach Hill had further cause to rejoice when Al Lawrence, who was quite a star in the Trojan camp way back in 1944-46, finished second to Attlesey in the high3 in the fine time of mento.

The score was 5 to 4, with Steve Souchock's inside-the-park home -run in the seventh inning deciding the exciting contest played before 54S0 fans. Los Angeles, still can win the series, however, by getting an even break in tomorrow's double-header. As was the case-last night, superb pitching proved the downfall of the Cherubs. Max Sur-kont, a chunky right-hander obtained from the Chicago White Sox, was tougher than a boot on the Angels. Tongh Sledding The Angels got only six hits-all of them coming in the first four innings and seven of them missed the third strike.

Ken Gables, who relieved Starter Cal McLish in the third inning, was the loser. He gave up five of the Sacs' nine hits and two of the runs. Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead in the opening stanza. Cece Garriott drew one of three walk3 he got off Surkont during the game and scored when Frank Baumholtz's "single" rolled past Ralph Hod-gin for a triple. Frank counted on Stan Spence's long fly to right.

Ex-Teammate Jim Tabor, who used to draw his pay from the Angels, tied up the score in the second when he smashed a homer over the left barrier after Hodgin led off with a two-bagger. Then the Sacs drove McLish to the showers in the next stanza by scoring a run on a walk to Don Johnson bracketed by singles by Fuzz White and Sou-chok. Gables came in and broke up the party. Los Angeles regained the lead at 4-3 in the fourth by counting twice on singles from the maces of Spence, Johnny Lucadello and Ralph Novotney, plus Lloyd Lowe's two-bagger. The score was tied up again Turn to Page 14, Column 2 the bar at 6ft.
