American League Race Opens Anew With 12 Days Left for Top Trio By MURRAY ROSE (Associated Press Sportswriter) The American League had a brand new race going today with a bunch of fast-aging players. New York, Boston and Detroit were only a half game apart with only 12 days to go in the tense battle for World Series loot. The pace-setting Yanks fell within a whisper of the runners-up last night by losing to Chicago 4-3. Detroit belted out Philadelphia, 12-4, in a day game and Boston was rained out in Cleveland to set up the tie for second place. Action Today Today it was New York at Chicago, Philadelphia at Detroit, and Boston at Cleveland, the last doubleheader. Players can be counted out to give the scoreboard as much attention as they do the opposing pitchers. Yesterday's firing brought near disaster to New York, new hope for Detroit and rest for Boston's rubber - armed relief ace, Ellis Kinder. Besides losing a game they almost had won, the Yankees temporarily lost the services of Vic Raschi, their 20-game ace. The crack right-hander, who pitched an inning of relief last Sunday to save a game against the Browns, was riding a 3-2 lead for 6½ innings when he complained his arm "didn't feel right."

The crack right-hander, who pitched an inning of relief last Sunday to save a game against the Browns, was riding a 3-2 lead for 6½ innings when he complained his arm "didn't feel right." Ferrick Falls Tom Ferrick, a demon rescue worker until recently, failed in the clutch again. Chico Carrasquel nicked him for a single and Gus Niarhos, the former Yank doubled him to third. With two out Nelson Fox blasted a triple to center to drive in the tying and winning runs. The Yanks had gone ahead 3-2 on Joe Dimaggio's 31st homer and Yogi Berra's 24th four-bagger, the latter's a two-run blow. Chicago southpaw Bob Cain held only four hits. In Detroit where Red Rolfe reshuffled his lineup, the Tigers' spirits soared. Hoping to get more attack in his lineup, Rolfe sent in Charlie Keller, Pat Mullin, and Dick Kryhoski to replace Vic Wertz, Hoot Evers, and Don Kolloway. The change worked. Subs Powerful Keller, the ex-Yankee, was making his first start in the lineup after invaluable pinch-hitting duties. He answered the bell like an old firehorse, powering two homers two singles and driving in five runs. Mullins blasted out a homer and double. Kryhoski whacked out two singles. Washington nipped St. Louis 5-3 in the other American league contest. In the quiet of the National league race, Boston moved a full game up on Philadelphia by nipping St. Louis 7-6 while the Phils were clipped, 1-0, by Chicago. Brooklyn's Dodgers also moved up by whipping Pittsburgh twice, 14-3 and 3-2. The Cincinnati-New York game was rained out.

Middle of PCL Race Gets Tough BY HERB WILHOIT Associated Press Sports Writer If the Hollywood Stars don't watch their hits and pitches somebody liable to bop them out of third place, or even out of the first division in the Pacific Coast league. Manager Fred Haney's defending champions led the league the first half of this season but succeeded to Oakland July 12 and later were passed by San Diego. Now the scramble in the middle of the race is so tight that anything can happen in the last three weeks of the schedule. Hollywood descended another step on the ladder by losing to San Diego 3-1 last night. Tight In Middle This left the Stars only three games ahead of the fourth place Seattle Rainiers, who took that spot away from San Francisco, again, by beating Los Angeles 9-5 while the Seals were losing to Portland 6-5. Oakland took a slugfest from last place Sacramento 10-7. With Seattle only a half game ahead of San Francisco and the latter but three games atop Portland, there are now only 6½ games between third place Hollywood and sixth place Portland. Whoever is going to keep Oakland and San Diego company in the first division may well be determined this week. Jim Baxes' 400-foot score-tying homer was Hollywood's lone effort last night, nullfield when San Diego's Harry Simpson smacked a two-run double. Brovia Hita Two Seattle put on an 11-hit attack, aided by six walks, to whack the Angels. Three-run clusters in the Braves Gain Tommy Holmes' single with two out and the bases loaded, in the ninth drove in the winning run for Boston against St. Louis. The Braves made two in the ninth, Sam Jethroe scoring the equalizer on Red Schoendienst's wild throw. Hanl Sauer's 30th homer in the fifth and Frank Hiller's gilt-edged land, there are now only 6½ games between third place Hollywood and sixth place Portland. Whoever is going to keep Oakland and San Diego company in the first division may well be determined this week. Jim Baxes' -400-foot score-tying homer was Hollywood's lone effort last night, nullified when San Diego's Harry Simpson smacked a two-run double. Brovia Hills Two Seattle put on an 11-hit attack, aided by six walks, to whack the Angels. Three-run clusters in the second and sixth were really all the Rainiers needed. Four Portland homers, by Jim Gladd, Mickey Rocco, and two by Joe Brovia, his 36th and 37th this year, were too much power for San Francisco. The Seals went down threatening, however, with a four-run rally in the ninth, stopped by relief pitcher Bill 'leming. Oakland's Earl Rapp was a hitting powerhouse. He had a two-run homer, and two rally starting singles in four times at bat. Sacramento's Steve Souchock blasted a three-run roundtripper but the Solon's erred three times to hamper their own cause. Williams, Hoagy Bring Joy to Troy LOS ANGELES, CA—There's joy in the Trojan grid camp today what with left halfback Al Camichael ruled eligible and the team physician giving the green light to safety man Johnny Williams. Williams, nursing a back injury, probably will be ready to go against Iowa here Sept. 23, says Willis Jacobus.

In an almost full-scale scrimmage, the Colonists easily romped over an undermanned Placentia high school team. The visitors were safely kept away from the Anaheim goal during the afternoon, while the Colonists scored on several occasions. No actual score was kept. It was the first real sharpening up against actual opponents for Anaheim, and, although, the strength of Placentia is somewhat in doubt, both the offense and defense looked impressive during certain phases of yesterday's hurled. Along with his castoff buddy, Jim Hearn, he has combined to twice dole out doubleheader shutouts—once to the Pirates and once to the Phils. Try to convince the Pirates, by the way, that this is a lively ball year. In one three-game series against the Giants, they failed to score even once. And certainly there are going to be more than seven 20-game winners in the majors this year. Two have already made it in the National. Robin Roberts tried last night to become the first Philly pitcher to win 20 games since 1917. That was the year Grover Cleveland Alexander won 30 for the Phils. 16 Whitewashings Strangely enough that was not Alexander's best year. As a rookie with the Phils in 1914, he won an amazing total of 28 games. He won 19 next year, then jumped to 33 in 1916, 16 of these victories being shutouts. With Alex getting 110 wins in tour years, William F. Baker, owner of the Phils, showed his appreciation that winter by selling Old Pete and his battery-mate, Bill Killefer, to the Cubs for $50,000. And that, you might say, was the last pitch that played. To The Rear The rules generally followed were the putting in play of the ball on its own 40 by one team, which then had ten plays in which to advance it. Should that team score, it got ten more. Placentia opened with the ball in its possession and promptly ran about 20 plays, which resulted in picking up about 35 yards—backwards. The Colonist line was surprisingly courageous and there was practically never a Placentia advance on the ground. During the retreat there was only one mild threat, but that fizzled when an end dropped a TD pass after he had sneaked in back of Enoch Peterson. Peterson, however, somewhat redeemed himself for this lapse by promptly leading the Colonists to a score the first time they had the ball. The payoff punch came on the tenth play on a 25-yard pass from Peterson to halfback Augie Huesca. Long Tally The next Anaheim try died on the three yard line, but Placentia again failed to move when it had possession of the ball. This switching of ball from hand to hand continued a few more times, and then Colonist halfback Johnny Herreraromped 68 yards—the day's longest run—to pay dirt. Ira Webber added another tally for Anaheim before they quit trying. Both Webber and Huesca later had easy chances for tallies from far out.

As a rookie with the Phils in 1914, he won an amazing total of 28 games. He won 19 the next year, then jumped to 33 in 1916, 16 of these victories being shutouts. With Alex getting 110 wins in tour years, William F. Baker, owner of the Phils, showed his appreciation that winter by selling Old Pete and his battery-mate, Bill Killefer, to the Cubs for $50,000. And that, you might say, was the last great pitcher that the Phils had until the present crop of youngsters came along. Of course, it has been well chronicled that Baker made one of baseball's prize boners in peddling Alexander, who remained in the majors until 1929. He came back to the Cubs from the war deaf in one ear and subject to epileptic fits but he kept on winning. Won To The End In his first year with the Cubs he got 27. During the last ten years of his career he still managed to win often enough to average 18 victories per season. In 1927, at 40, he still won 21. Alexander's greatest moment, often recalled, came in the 1926 series when he came in to pitch to Tony Lazzeri in the seventh game with the bases loaded and the Cardinals leading by one run. "We're in a tough spot," Manager Rogers Hornsby told him. "Yep," came Pete's classic reply. There just don't seem to be no place to put Lazzeri. Guess I'll have to get him out." It took four pitches to accomplish that. The new Phil dynasty — Robin Roberts, president—gets its first Series pressure test starting Oct. 45. May it fare half so well? TODAY'S MINUTE QUIZ — What pitcher led both major leagues in earned run average in 1949? Long Tally The next Anaheim try died on the three yard line, but Placentia again failed to move when it had possession of the ball. This switching of ball from hand to hand continued a few more times, and then Colonist halfback Johnny Herrera romped 68 yards—the day's longest run—to pay dirt. Ira Webber added another tally for Anaheim before they quit trying. Both Webber and Huesca later had easy chances for tallies from far out, but they were both whistled back with a clear field ahead. Besides the pretty fair line play, there were several stickouts in the backfield. Huesca is the classiest runner of the lot, but Webber and Leonard Weaver also showed plenty of stuff. Huesca likewise was the defensive backfield standout, and Weaver also made his share of tackles in this capacity. A Dark Spot The quarterbacking on the other hand was nothing to scare Otto Graham. All of the three signal callers were hesitant to pass, and when they did try to throw their reasons for being so hesitant became quite apparent. No report on the benefits reaped from Ben Agajanian's visit on Monday or on punting, since both teams ignored those yesterdays. If the Colonists scrimmage again, it will be in the next nine days preceding Bell Gardens. ROBERT D. SCHAFER CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT Announces the Opening of His Offices at 308 BANK OF AMERICA BUILDING Auditing — Federal and State Taxes Accounting Services AP Pre-Season Poll Names Notre Dame as No. 1 Team NEW YORK (AP)—Notre Dame's cleated legions, who haven't been repulsed on the gridiron since 1945, were chosen today to retain their national college football championship. In an unprecedented pre-season poll by the Associated Press, sports writers and broadcasters heaped an overwhelming vote on Frank Leahy's stalwarts as the No. 1 team of 1950. Only Army was rated seriously opposition as Oklahoma and California, two giants of the 1949 season, experienced a sharp drop in favor. Oklahoma's Sooners, second last year, were picked sixth in the new analysis and California's Golden Bears plummeted all the way from third to 14th. All But One The fighting Irish, unbeaten in 38 games dating back to the end of the last war, received 101 first place votes in the 125 cast. They were listed on every ballot and were at least 1-2-3 on every paper but one. No other team received more than seven No. 1 votes and Army shared this number with Texas, which is expected to run wild in the southwest this year. Army, dominating the second place vote, received a total of 930 points, Michigan drew 688, Tennessee 553 and Texas 539. Others tapered off from there, distributed among 43 teams. Notre Dame's last setback was a 39-7 loss to Great Lakes in the final game of the 1945 season. The Irish played a scoreless tie with Army In 1946 and drew with Southern California in 1947. Favorites Advance In Hardcourt Play BERKELEY, (AP) — The men's singles of the National Hardcourt Tennis championships go into the second round today with everything running true to form. Only minor difficulties were encountered yesterday by the favorites in first round victories. Art Larson of San Leandro, newly-crowned national champ, went behind Bill Hoogs, Berkeley 1 to 4, before rallying to win 9-7. Philipp Washer of Belgium, downed Jack Frost, former boys' champ of Monterey, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. Ampon vs. Catton Third-seeded Tom Brown of San Francisco, U.S. Davis Cup player, scored a relatively easy 6-2, 6-4 victory over Don Lowenbein of San Francisco, and Jacques Brichant of Belgium, ninth-favored, disposed of Bob Gulver 2-8, 6-4 and 6-3. Philippine Davis Cup ace Felicissimo Ampon dumped Arthur Anderson of Hollywood, 6-1, 6-2. Ampon, fifth-seeded, today meets LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA has been winning its opening football games with regularity, and by a healthy margin, for the past four years and the Bruins will be gunning to continue this victorious habit when they take on Oregon's Webfoots in a Pacific Coast conference inaugural at the Los Angeles Coliseum this Saturday at 2 p.m. The record books show that the Bruins walloped Oregon State, 50-7, in the 1946 opener; Iowa, 22-7, in the first 1947 game; Washington State, 48-26, in their 48nd bout; and last year, they opened with a brilliant 35-13 win over Oregon State. Even Bet: Coach Red Sanders and this "darkhorse" UCLA eleven figures no better than an even-money choice against the always-tough Webfoots, tutored by the highly respected Jim Aiken and boasting one of the top all-around backs in the conference in Earl Stelle. Stelle starred at 1 quarterback last year but has been shifting around so far this fall and can play either quarterback, left half or fullback for the Ducks. The Bruins will probably be at full strength with two notable exceptions: Joe Marvin, who figured to be the No. 1 Bruin offensive halfback this season, is still jumping from a bad ankle sprain. Darrel Riggs, veteran end, is under-the-weather from a blood clot in his leg. Wilkinson Ready: Bob Wilkinson UCLA's great pass-snagging end, is raring to go and figures to give the Webfoots fits with his catching artistry plus his dangerous end - around play. Saturday's game will be the 21st meeting between these two long-time rivals. They are now all tied up, with 10 victories apiece and no ties. AL Flips Coins In Case of Tie CHICAGO (AP) — Plans for playing off a possible tie in the American league's sizzling pennant race will be completed today at a coin tossing ceremony at the offices of league president Will Harridge. Invited representatives of the three major news service will flip 1948 half dollars to determine shared this number with Texas, which is expected to run wild in the southwest this year.

Notre Dame's last setback was a 89-7 loss to Great Lakes in the final game of the 1945 season.
