Grace Lutheran Takes One-up Playoff Lead by Topping Church of Christ 1-0 For the third straight time Church of Christ found itself involved in a shutout Church league playoffs, but this time it was on the short end of a 1-0 count as it log opener to Grace Lutheran last night at City Park. Church of Christ had advanced to the finals of the playoffs by topping St. Bonifac and 3-0 in the preliminaries. Grace Lutheran earned a shot at the finals by taking straight from Zion Lutheran. The two teams meet in the second of their best two-of-three series again tonight City Park at 7:45. Should Church of Christ win, the deciding game will be played on Thursday night. As has often been the case, Art Altheide was the big gun on the field last night, pitching and hurling the Lutherans to victory. Altheide allowed only three hits in chalking up the win and he personally accounted for the victory when he drove the only run of the game across the plate in the opening inning. Shortstop Art Michel opened the bottom part of the first by lining a single to center field. He stole second, moved to third when Del Martens drove a long fly to right field, and then romped home with the game's only run when Altheide punched a hit to short right field. This, however, was the end of all of Grace Lutheran's threats. Lloyd Lichtenwalter allowed only one hit after this inning—the only man to reach base, as it turned out, since Lichtenwalter walked none and his teammates backed up his efforts with flawless support. Church of Christ, meanwhile, had one mild threat. Jerry Dickenson ended Altheide's hitless skein in the third when he dropped a single into left field. Then, after Dickenson was forced at second, Kenny Meadows beat out an infield single, but Altheide fanned Al Mills to end the threat. Don Dickenson collected the only other Church of Christ hit, leading off with a single in the last inning, but he remained there as Altheide retired the next three batters without damage. Altheide walked one and fanned 10, while Lichtenwalter struck out six.

Yesterday, out on Celeri, Wedemeyer Dropped by '49ers SAN FRANCISCO (F)—Two of the most dazzling stars in local college football couldn't make the grade as members of the professional San Francisco '49ers. They were quarterback Bob Celeri, who masterminded the University of California to the Rose Bowl last year, and "squirmin" Herman Wedemeyer, former St. Mary's college all America who pastimed with the Los Angeles Dons and the Baltimore Colts in the now defunct All America pro grid loop. Both were dropped from the '495er squad by mentor Buck Shaw to trim the roster below the 32 man limit set by national football commissioner Bert Bell. Six other players were also released, including Norm Maloney, a veteran of three seasons with the locals and formerly a Purdue end. NOTICE! See K. F.

Despite the presence of the National Boxing Association convention and the championship scrap, street talk is all about "how did the Yanks do?" or "How about Boston?" But this promises to be a real fight. Dauthuille, a confident young Frenchman with a stiff right hand wallop, seems to have the style to bother the swarming LaMotta.

Slowly—like a bear just awakening from his hibernation—the group of young men who will represent Anaheim high school on the gridiron this year is beginning to look like a football team. Yesterday, out on the AUHS practice field, Head Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke started giving his hopefuls a taste of the T formation from which they will run this year. Thus far, however, the backs have worked as one unit and the linemen as another with no line-backfield coordination. Backs Toll The backs got the principal portion of the T diet yesterday, running through a number of patterns in order to sharpen their timing and direction. All of the emphasis was on the ground game, Van Hoorebeke apparently feeling that things have not yet advanced to the stage where passing can be introduced into the attack. Most of the difficulty centered on ball handling, neither the quarterbacks nor the others, for that matter, being very sure handed during the drill. Considering their unfamiliarity with the T intricacies, however, there were surprisingly few loose balls bouncing around on the turf. So Does Line The linemen did just about what you'd expect them to do—spent the afternoon mostly on blocking drills with a maximum of contact work. Later Assistant Coach John Wallin introduced them to their phase of the T, concentrating on the guard pull-out. Neither group put up a particularly sparkling performance, but there was a showing of considerable improvement over the first workout one week ago. A disheartening show was put on by the backs during a punting drill. The kicks were all right, but those downfield to gather them in, did that in only about 25 per cent of the cases, the great remainder resulting in a flock of fumbles and misjudged boots. And, oh yes—Bell Gardens is now only 17 days away. Pacific SW Meet Goes International LOS ANGELES (P)—The Pacific Southwest tennis tournament takes on an international aspect today.

Sizzling AL Pennant Race Moves Westward This Week By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer The see-saw American League pennant race roars into the west today with the pressure heavier on the invading New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox than on the Detroit Tigers. Casey Stengel’s Yankees, leading by a half-game, begin a nine-game tour of the west with a two-game series in Cleveland tonight. The third place Red Sox, a game and a half out, open an eight-game road trip in Chicago. The second place Tigers begin a ten-game home stand with the Washington Senators. The Yanks, who forged to the front yesterday by sweeping a doubleheader from Washington, 5-1 and 6-2, face no easy task. So far the Yankees have won 21 and lost 14 in the west with Cleveland their best stop and Detroit their poorest. The Yankees have taken 7 out of ning in Cleveland but only two out of eight in Detroit. Injuns Smarting However, the Indians, virtually knocked out of contention over the weekend when they dropped four straight games to the lowly St. Louis Browns, are out for blood. They are smarting under a spanking by the general manager Hank Greenberg, who blasted them for "not hustling and playing stupid ball." Besides, the Yanks’ top Indian killer, Eddie Lopat, probably will not available for duty. Lopat, who holds a 27-6 life-time record over the Indians and a 5-0 record doubleheader at Washington, only activity in either league. Ford pitched a brilliant three-hitter in the opener to post his sixth victory without a setback. The young lefty held the Senators hitless over the last five innings. The game was a nip and tuck affair until the eighth inning when the Yanks hopped on Al Sima for three runs to take a 5-1 lead. Rookie Jackie Jensen led the Yanks’ ten-hit attack with three safeties including his first major league home run. When For Phils? In the National league, the question appears to be not so much who will win the pennant but when will the Philadelphia Phillies clinch it? The Oakland Oaks are in the driver's seat in more ways than one in the Pacific Coast League. As the long season enters its last four weeks, Oakland has a single game lead. They tangle with seven on place San Diego this week and they could just about clinch things by whacking the Padres. Furthermore, if Oakland only broke even in the remaining 28 games of the schedule San Diego would have to win 20 of its 28 games to catch up to the leaders. Fourteen of Oakland's remaining games are with San Diego, seven at the border city this week and seven at Oakland the week of September 26. The Acorns' other 14 games are with tail-end Sacramento. The Hollywood Stars have a fairly strong hold on third place, but fourth place Seattle is only a half game ahead of fifth place San Francisco. The Rainiers and Seals clash at San Francisco this week, the outcome likely to decide which team stays in the first division. The incentive is strong, for only the top four first division clubs share in the league's $80,000 purse this year—$40,000 to the winners, $20,000 for second, $12,-500 for third and $7500 for fourth place. However, the Indians, virtually knocked out of contention over the weekend when they dropped four straight games to the lowly St. Louis Browns, are out for blood. They are smarting under a spanking by the general manager Hank Greenberg, who blasted them for "not hustling and playing stupid ball." Besides, the Yanks' top Indian killer, Eddie Lopat, probably will not available for duty. Lopat, who holds a 27-6 life-time record over the Indians and a 5-0 record against them this year, worked nearly five innings in relief yesterday. Bosox Hot The Red Sox, installed by New York odd-makers as 7½ or 8½ to 5 favorite to win the pennant are the hottest team in the race at the moment. The Sox have won 23 of their last 26 games but are known as a poor road club. The Tigers have a schedule advantage over the Yanks and Red Sox. They have 17 games remaining at home where they have won 44 and lost 19 for an impressive .698 pace.
