Dave Levin vs Baron Leone Monday Night It will be Dave Levin vs. Baron Leone Monday night at the Orange County Athletic club. The match between the current champion and the former champion was signed officially today after the Baron had agreed to meet Levin under straight catch-as-catch-can rules, with Baron's use of the neck-breaker barred. However, the entire matter is more the nature of a "gentleman's agreement" than a contract. The Baron stating that he will play the game clean, but Levin will have to take his word for it. The arrogant Italian asserts that he is "quick tempered" and may forget himself, in which case, he wants it accepted as such—that is all. He doesn't want to risk being disqualified. Levin is confident that with the neck-breaker barred and with Leone wrestling American and not "free style" he can outmaneuver the champion. If he does, he'll become to wrestling what Jersey Joe Wolcott has become to boxing, an idol and a man "who came back." Pat McGill, who has made a flock of friends among county fans in three appearances and boasts a McGill fan club in Orange, will test the highly touted Rainiers Cop Cup While Managers Quit Their Jobs HOLLYWOOD UP—Seattle has the best ball club in the Pacific Coast League and demonstrated it convincingly last night, beating Hollywood in the fifth and deciding game of the Governor's Cup playoff series, 9-2. The pennant winners exploded for four runs in the seventh inning, knocked knuckleballer Johnny Lindell off the hill, and continued their assault against three other Hollywood pitchers. The game may have been the last in the Coast League for two managers, Roger Hornsby of Seattle and Fred Haney of Hollywood. Bill Veeck is interested in Hornsby for the St. Louis Browns' job next year. And the New York Yankees, it has been whispered, may want to talk with him if Casey Stengel decides to retire. Haney can return to Hollywood, but said he has other offers to consider. One presumably, is to go to a big league club. Best guess would be Pittsburgh, in view of the close relationship between Haney and the Priates' Branch Rickey. Hornsby starred for 12 years with the Cardinals and managed them to a world championship. His last major league managership was with the Browns in 1937. The league may be bereft of several topflight pilots.

Lefty O'Doul has been the minor leagues highest paid manager at least five years. Lefty's exact take from the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast league has been only hinted at until today. But no audit of the Seals' books shows the former two-time National League batting champ was paid $190,000 as Seal boss in the past five years. The figures: $37,000 in 1937; $41,000 each year in '48, '49 and '50, and $30,000 the past season. Lefty's Seals finished a dismal eighth this year and failed to draw peanut money at the turnstiles or he might have picked up another $10,000 as a bonus. Rogers Hornsby was reputed to have come closest to O'Doul in minor league pay—$30,000 as manager of Beaumont in the Texas league in 1950. O'Doul's future isn't as bright. Seal owner Paul L. Fagan has sworn off baseball and put the Seals up for sale. The audit was made for perusal of prospective purchasers. O'Doul, without a contract, also is without a job. The U.S. Army says the median age for all enlisted and officer personnel is between 22 and 23. Parts of the first transatlantic cable are still in use.

Season Just Starting (Continued from Page 1) downs, fumble and intercept, but some of us don't realize that a large share of credit of a winning team must go to the fans who, after a long and hard day at the office or plant, think enough of the team to go see them play every game listed on the schedule. Eating Alone—Bah! Just how much of a thrill does one receive going down to the Beach and finding only a few scattered groups or when we go into a cafe and find only one or two couples with several waitresses sitting down. The same for a drive-in. We don't go where there's hardly any cars, but we go where the crowd is—why? Because we're people and we want to be around more. We want to see our friends, talk with them and possibly meet new ones—that is, if we're not hermits or individuals that have self-condemned themselves to the easy New Plan for Coaches to Rotate Jobs NEW YORK (CP)—A suggestion that colleges rotate their head coaches to combat high pressure subsidization in football found little favor today among the coaches themselves. Lynn Waldorf of California, past president of the coaches association, doubted the plan would work. "All that running around would be pretty hard on the coach's family," Waldorf commented. "Also one of the greatest pleasures of coaching is watching a young man progress from a raw fresher to a polished senior." The California mentor wondered what would happen to assistant coaches under this plan. "I doubt if it's feasible," said Lloyd Jordan of Harvard president of the coaches. "Every institution must work out its salvation from the inside rather than from the outside in. "I think our efforts to cure these evils by directives and rules only make things worse. The schools must work out their problems themselves." These sentiments were echoed by several other coaches in a cross-country sampling of opinion by the Associated Press. The coach-swapping idea was advanced yesterday by Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, who said it would attack "the twin evils of college football—proselyting and subsidizing." Ward suggested colleges be bracketed into geographical groups and interchange coaches within their particular area each year. The Big Ten and other midwestern schools would form another group in which Wes Fesler, Frank Leahy and Bennie Oosterbaan would be shuffled back and forth. Salaries would be equalized for top coaches and bonuses given for superior performances. National Casting Tourney Starts At Pomona Fair The 1951 casting season will reach its peak with the opening of the 1951 Skish National Casting tournament today at the Los Angeles County Fair. The four day meet sponsored by the Anaheim Izank Walton league will draw the nation's top casters in competition for national championships, trophies and more than $1500 in merchandise prizes. The four accuracy and the combined distance champions will vacation for three days at Los Vegas Flamingo hotel while the other champions and novices will share alike in the fabulous list of prizes. All events will be cast on a class basis whereby each caster will compete only with those of comparable ability for prizes at the new casting pool in the outdoor sportsman's plaza of the fair. Women and junior will compete in separate divisions. For information concerning the national tournament contact, Clint Flynn, general chairman, 603 W. Broadway.

We don't go where there's hardly any cars, but we go where the crowd is—why? Because we're people and we want to be around more. We want to see our friends, talk with them and possibly meet new ones—that is, if we're not hermits or individuals that have self condemned themselves to the easy chair in front of the TV screen at home. No, we just can't escape from it. We want to be seen, want to see, hear and have a good time and all this can be and is accomplished on a much greater, successful and happier scale when groups of people are present. There just seems to be a different kind of spirit created when individuals become groups. And this feeling is carried right to the players on the football field, tennis court or boxing ring. One feels like going all out in his efforts to do good for not only himself and his best girl, but for his family, friends, teachers, coaches and school. Praise Him—Praise Him The players can hear the spectators yell in the stands and they can very easily heir "how" their yelling—and it effects them. If the crowd is behind them, urging them, praising, congratulating them, they respond. And if the fans boo them, don't even take an interest in coming to see them play—the team responds to that too. So, it just isn't a coach or a couple of good fast backs or a top notch passer or a solid line or a large turnout of fans that makes the team function correctly, but all departments pulling Ward suggested colleges be bracketed into geographical groups and interchange coaches within their particular area each year. The Big Ten and other midwestern schools would form another group in which Wes Fesler, Frank Leahy and Bennie Oosterbaan would be shuffled back and forth. Salaries would be equalized for top coaches and bonuses given for superior performances. Appointments would be made by a committee of athletic directors and club presidents. Ward said, with the changes not being announced until Aug. 1 each year. This would prevent loading up of material. Ward said the program would eliminate spring practice, reduce alumni criticism and enable coaches to live normal lives. and working together. The season is just starting—the fans haven't seen the football team in action and the team hasn't seen the fans, but all can get acquainted tomorrow at La Palma Park in the season opener. Then, from that night on, the coaches, team and fans alike will make their way through the remainder of the schedule—through thick and thin. The team can't quit now or right after the Redlands game. They'll have eight games—how about YOU, the fan. How many games do you go to and work right along with the team—you in the stands yelling for them and they in the field playing for you. It ought to be a grand season, what with this wonderful team—Anaheim Union High school on the field and YOU, the fan in the stands. How many games are the two of you going to win?

Efficiency Lost CINCINNATI (AP) — Abolish the two-platoon system of football and the game's efficiency will drop at least 40 per cent, Coach Sid Gillman of the University of Cincinnati said today. The former Army line coach told a reporter there is every good reason why that style of play should be continued, and no valid excuse for ousting it. ATTEND REUNION Mr. and Mrs. John J.

Cypress Anaheim Bosox, Yanks Ready to Chop Each Other to Bits as Tribe Breezes in (By the Associated Press) Cleveland's sweep of the Boston series leaves the league-leading New York Yankees gasping for breath in the American League. Still out front by three percentage points after yesterday's 5-3 victory over Chicago, the Yankees face rough going ahead. While they play nine of 10 with first division clubs, the Tribe plays only six—five with the bottom half of the league. Chances are the Yankees and Red Sox will knock off one another in their eight meetings while Cleveland picks up enough ground to get home free. Then they can start worrying about Brooklyn, which opened up a 3½ game lead on idle New York in the National last night by blanking St. Louis 3-0. Chicago, in a vengeful mood since that disputed rainy night game at the stadium in July, can knock the Yankees out of first place today while Cleveland rides a train to Defroit. Saul Rogovin (12-7), a three-time winner against New York, was to meet Johnny Sainn (2-1), the National League refugee, in the big game of the day. Cleveland showed its old booming drive yesterday in walloping Boston, 15-2, a blow that practically doused the last Red Sox hopes. Trailing by 3½ games with 11 to play, Boston's main job now seems to be making or breaking the Yankees in the series opening at Fenway tomorrow. Early Wynn became the Tribe's third 20-game winner with a seven-hit job on Boston. While he coasted the Indians took full advantage of 11 hits and 13 bases on balls by Maury McDermott and five successors, Ray Boone, Luke Easter and Bobby Avila hit home runs. With Wynn (20-12), Mike Garcia (20-12) and Bobby Feller (22-8) in the select circle, Cleveland is in an enviable position. No big league team has had three 20-game winners since the Athletics of 1931. They won the pennant.

Sole casualty among the seeded contestants is San Francisco's Tom Brown, No. 8. He lost 6-4, 7-5, to Harry Llikas, San Francisco, yesterday. Five Davis Cuppers were among yesterday's third round winners. Stengel Feeling Low About Tribe NEW YORK (UP)—His New York Yankees had just won a ball game to retain their three-percentage point lead over Cleveland, but Manager Casey Stengel wore a worried look. "Those darn Indians," he muttered. "I thought we finished 'em off for sure when we hopped 'em two in a row here. But they turn right a round and blast them Red Sox two straight in Boston. 'That's the worst thing that could have happened to us,' he continued. "I would have preferred to see Boston win both games. That would have knocked the Indians right out of it. Then we'd have only one club to beat—the Red Sox." BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct. GB New York 5 Chicago 3. Cleveland 15 Boston 2. Philadelphia 8 Detroit 1. Washington 4 St. Louis 3.

Sole casualty among the seeded contestants is San Francisco's Tom Brown, No. 8. He lost 6-4, 7-5, to Harry Likas, San Francisco, yesterday. Five Davis Cuppers were among yesterday's third round winners. Top-seeded Tony Trabert of Cincinnati, national intercollegiate and clay court champion, defended Jerry de Witts of Oakland, Calif., 1-6, 6-1, 6-4. He meets fifth-seeded Billy Talbert of New York in a quarterfinals match Friday. Talbert ousted Fumiteru Nakano, Japanese Davis Cup star, 6-1, 9-7. Goro Fukikura, also of Tokyo, was shaded 6-2, 6-2 by seventh-seeded Budge Patty of Los Angeles. Former national champions Art Larsen of nearby San Leandro and Ted Schroeder of La Cresenta, Calif., also won quarterfinals berths. Larsen, the tempestuous southpaw, edged Conway Catton of Alameda, Calif., 7-5, 6-2. Schroeder, plodding the comeback trail, beat Fred Hagist of Sacramento, Calif., 6-4, 11-9. Between 1919 and 1939 residential building construction followed regular cycles, reaching a peak approximately every 33 months. A kilometer equals 3280.8 feet.

With Wynn (20-12), Mike Garcia (20-12) and Bobby Feller (22-8) in the select circle, Cleveland is in an enviable position. No big league team has had three 20-game winners since the Athletics of 1931. They won the pennant. The oddity of the Cleveland situation is that Bob Lemon, regarded a sure fire bet to cop 20 any year, isn't going to make it. He has only 17 and can't take more than two more turns. Rocky Back on Loose Again DETROIT (UP)—Rocky Graziano, whose blasting comeback in the last 20 seconds stunned Tony Janiro and gained Rocky a technical knockout, wants a middleweight title fight with champion Sugar Ray Robinson. "We wuz robbed," cried Janiro and Frankie Jacobs, his manager. Until Rocky's crashing left and rights suddenly sprawled, Tony on thecanvas with the fight nearly over, Janiro appeared a sure winner in last night's wide open slugfest. Referee Lou Handler halted the 10-round, televised fight just as Janiro hopped right to his feet and joined Jacobs in protesting. Many in the crowd of 8080 booed. Despite the knockdown Janiro—who had a 5-3, 6-3, and 5-2 edge by rounds on the official scorecards—evidently would have won by decision if the fight had gone 14 more seconds to the conclusion. at LAKE'S...
