Just because Anaheim's opponent this coming Friday had a rough time last Friday don't feel that the Chaffey Tigers are in for another beating. Monrovia walloped the Tigers Friday night 27-7 and the score doesn't even come close to indicating the rout Monrovia hung on Chaffey in the season opener for both teams. Monrovia was ranked sixth in the CIF last year behind Compton, Fullerton, Redlands, South Pasadena and San Diego and they lost almost nobody and should be really loaded this season. In past seasons Chaffey has had large, and tough-to-beat teams and they certainly don't intend to let their fans down this year. They will play Anaheim Friday on their own field and will be going all out to know the home folks that they really are a good team, that just ran into a top flight team in the opener. Against Monrovia, Chaffey finally scored their lone fall in the final period, but their glorious moment came when right halfback Bud Grimmensey booted a punt that was good for 75 yards. Even in defeat the Orange-Black Tigers looked good, in Western Harness Racing Opens in Oct. At Hollypark INGLEWOOD — Officials of Western Harness Racing association are making final preparations for the opening of the 40-day meeting at Hollywood Park on Oct. 5 in anticipation of the finest trotting season ever held in the far west. Over 800 of the nation's finest trotters and pacers will be on the grounds during the WHRA meeting, giving Racing Secretary Press Jenuine more horses to work with than ever before. And the calibre of the horses should match the quantity as this year's sulky brigade is the fastest in history. General Manager Bernard Kearney has completed arrangements to make the cream of Hollywood Park's spectator facilities available to the harness racing patrons, and the entire plant—including the best portions of the grandstand, club house, and Turf Club—will be thrown open to the public for the single general admission price of $125. Southern California actually will become the hurdess racing center of the world this fall with virtually every top horse in training and every top driver appearing at Hollywood Park. Some of the top horses who have been nominated for the major stakes events of the 40-day meeting include Star's Pride, Good Time, Prince Jay, Pronto Don, Mainliner, Sampson Hanover, Dr. Stanton, Highland Ellen, Demon Hanover, Ferman Hanover, Lord Minoso Head For Rookie Of Year CHICAGO (P) — Feel Philadelphia A's first appears to have sewed 1951 American league championship.

Although Gus Zerminal delphia was homerless d week, he held to his lead He also was ahead in run in with 127 after adding Minoso moved into a Dom DiMaggio for most Against Monrovia, Chaffey finally scored their lone tally in the final period, but their glorious moment came when right halfback Bud Grimmsey booted a punt that was good for 75 yards. Even in defeat the Orange-Black Tigers looked good, in part. They stopped several drives of Monrovia early in the first period, but got by and watched the green-white store twice before the intermission arrived. Three years ago Fullerton met Chaffey in the first round of the CIF playoffs where they tied 7-7, but the hosts had one more first down (40-8) and earned the right to move into the semi-finals. The next week they met a highly-touted St. Anthony's eleven and fell by the score 28-20. That night a fullback by the name John Olszewski and a quarterback by the name Hill Mals, now both of California University, were the shining lights. They eventually led the team to the CIF title. It just seems as though the Citrus Bell teams have always been tough on the teams in the Sunset League. One reason is that they're so much bigger — which, really, is the main reason. Just about every year one of the teams in that league excels over everyone else and it's been that way for years. Back in 1947 it was Fomona in football; 1949, Chaffey in basketball and track and Colton in baseball; last year it was Redlands in football and swimming while Chaffey was the leader in basketball and track.

Montgomery-Gale Storm Chaffey will now compose itself and roll Anaheim right back where it came from, but I do imply that just because they got beat bad in one game—it doesn't mean a thing, really. Sure, we got beat, too, so we're both even in that respect, but Chaffey is Chaffey and who are we? Well, just let someone from Ontario ask that question and I'll wager that by the end of the game Friday night they'll wish they hadn't heard of Anaheim. Now, they could feel that way in two different ways; it could be such an easy rout for them that they will feel they're not getting enough practice or on the other hand Anaheim could—as I was saying, it should be a good game in Ontario Friday night at 7:30.

The Gazette SPORTS Minoso Headed For Rookie Of Year CHICAGO (AP) — Ferris Fain, Philadelphia A's first baseman, appears to have sewed up the 1851 American league batting championship. In averages through Sunday the 29-year-old Fain, who batted .282 last season, had boosted his average to .347 for a 22 point spread over Chicago's Minnie Minoso. Minoso being boomed for rookie of the year, gained second place will .325, a spot he hopes to hang on to in the final week Only one point behind at .324 is Boston's Ted Williams. George Kell of Detroit, second last week, skidded to fourth with a six-point drop to .316. The other leaders included Johnny Pesky, Boston .315; Gill McDougald, New York .313; Gill Coan, Washington .310; Nellie Fox, Chicago .308; Bob Avila, Cleveland .305; and Dom DiMaggio, Boston .301. Although Gus Zerodin of Philadelphia was homeless during the week, he held to his lead with 32: He also was ahead in runs batted in with 127 after adding three. Minoso moved into a tie with Dom DiMaggio for most runs, 111. Giants Must Know They Should Be Dead, But They Keep Playing (By the Associated Press) Three teams today are waiting for a miracle to take place—for only by such a phenomenon can the New York Giants, Cleveland Indians or Boston Red Sox win a penant. Leo Durocher and his Giants apparently believe in miracles. They are staying stubbornly alive when they must know they should be dead. Yesterday, while Brooklyn manager Charlie Dressen was announcing Preacher Roe as his pitcher in the World Series opener, the relentless Giants chipped another half game off the Dodgers' National league lead with a 4-3 triumph over the Boston Braves. All other teams were idle. Brooklyn now leads New York by two and a half games its smallest margin since the opening week of the campaign. Since the Giants started their frantic and seemingly hopeless chase on Aug. 16, they have chopped 11 games from the Dodgers' once huge lead. The Giants have won $3 of $40 since then for an amazing $25 gain. The Giants victory left the clinching combination for the Dodgers at four. Brooklyn has seven more to play four in Boston and three in Philadelphia. A twinkle twin bill in Boston is on tap for tonight. The Giants' four remaining games are divided between Philadelphia and Boston. They face Robin Roberts (21-12), the Philly ace, tonight. The New York Yankees can clinch their 1961 first Friday A victory over the Philadelphia Athletics this afternoon and a sweep of Fridays doubleheader with the Red Sox, all of Yankee stadium, would finish off the Indiana and Red Sox with mathematical certainty. The Yankees clinching number is three. That means all they have to do is capture their third straight pennant in play. Red Bull in their remaining six games, regardless of what the Indians do in their three games. Of course, that would sink the Red Sox with whom they play five of them. Musial Head Fifth Batting NEW YORK (AP)—Great all-around perfect St. Louis Cardinals, certainly today to fifth National league championship. The peerless out baseman is far out in a .358 average with games to play. His suer Richie Ashburn,adelphia Phillies, is away Ashburn, running practically all seen 341 through game day. Musial, who also witting little in 1943, has one great ambition to better or equal H league record of eight ships. Still at his pooled year-old has a tightening achieve it.

Minos moved into a tie with Dom DiMaggio for most runs, 111. DiMaggio had most hits, 187. Sharing the doubles load, each with 34, were six men, DiMaggio, Billy Goodman of Boston, Kell of Detroit, Sam Mele and Eddie Yost of Washington, and Minoso. Minos was tops in triples with 16 and stolen bases with 31. The top pitching percentage was held by Boston's Els Kindler with 127. New York's Wes Ranch continued as strikeout leader.

Promoters Left With Deficit CHICAGO (UP)—Paddy De Marco of Brooklyn, ranked third nationally in the lightweight bracket, pounded out his 15th straight victory last night. Mexico's Enrique Bolanos was the victim. The show, first at the Coliseum in three years, attracted only 1850 with a gross gate of $7,042. De Marco was guaranteed $5000 and Balance received 25 per cent of the net receipts of $6000, leaving the promoters with a healthy deficit. The fast-moving, furiously-punching De Marco took a unanimous decision in 10 rounds. One judge, Thommy Thomas, gave Paddy every round. Penn Ready for California PHILADELPHIA (UP)—The feeling around Philadelphia is that the experts knew what they were saying when they tabbed the University of Pennsylvania among the top football teams of the east. It is significant that Penn's coaching staff isn't bemoaning the predictions. Ordinarily, George Munger is a full-fledged member of the weeping and wailing coaching fraternity, but this season Munger exudes confidence and hope. He has a good reason. Penn has the nucleus of a fine backfield and its line is manned by highly proficient veterans and strong young sophomores who appear to have the stuff to inflict heavy damage on opposing teams. It's not unthinkable that this Penn team can go through 1951 undefeated (as it did in 1947) but it's improbable, because of the rugged schedule the red and blue faces in its first season under its new "victory with honor" code set forth last winter by President Harold E. Stassen. The line is the key to Penn's Promoters Left With Deficit CHICAGO (UP)—Paddy De Marco of Brooklyn, ranked third nationally in the lightweight bracket, pounded out his 15th straight victory last night.

The fast-moving, furiously-punching De Marco took a unanimous decision in 10 rounds. One judge, Thommy Thomas, gave Paddy every round. Pep vs Sandy Saddler in NY NEW YORK (UP)—Will Pep can become the first batter to wear the same crown three times if he defeats featherweight champion Sandy Saddler in their fourth title bout tomorrow right at the Polo Grounds. The crafty Hartford fighter held the championship from 1944 to Oct. 29, 1948, when Saddler scored a jolting upset by knocking Pep out in the fourth round at Madison Square Garden. Pep bounced back on Feb. 11, 1949 and outpointed Saddler in a 15-round bout at the Garden to regain the title. Yankee Stadium was the scene Sept. 8, 1950, when Saddler again dethroned Willy Willie on an eight-round TKO. A shoulder injury forced Pep to quit, although he was ahead in rounds. The 25-year-old Saddler, who lost his last fight to Paddy De Marco on a split decision, will rule a 1 to 2 favorite to whip Pep, winner of 164 fights against only three defeats, in their 15-round bout. The International Boxing club expects a gate of between $75,000 and $100,000. Movies will net $100,000 and the theater and TV rights from 17 theaters in 13 cities outside of New York will bring in another $10,000.

The champion pinned the former titleholder two out of three falls in their scheduled three-fall one-hour scramble. The Baron young sophomores who appear to have the stuff to inflict heavy damage on opposing teams. It's not unthinkable that this Penn team can go through 1951 undefeated (as it did in 1947) but it's improbable, because of the rugged schedule the red and blue faces in its first season under its new "victory with honor" code set forth last winter by President Harold E. Stassen. The line is the key to Penn's success. It abounds with talent, including such standouts as Eddie Bell, an end; Bob Evans, a tackle; Stew Haggerty, a guard, and Gerry McGinley, a tackle. And the line is deep. There are three reliable performers for every position, much of the talent being drawn from the sophomore and junior classes. Penn's freshman team last season was undefeated. Munger regards Bell, Evans, Gallagher and McGinley as potential all American material. Bell ran 70 yards with an intercepted pass against navy last season. He and Evans are the first Negroes ever to play for Penn and both ate Juniors. won the two final falls. Newcomer Firpo Zbyszko, who affects a handsomely pointed and carefully waxed mustache, won two straight falls and the semifinal from Pat McGill.

This is the second shift the Yanks have been forced to make since it became apparent the baseball Yankees might have need for their big plant next week. The professional footballers had intended to open their home season next Monday, Oct. 1, against the Los Angeles Rams, but the game now will be played this coming Friday night at Los Angeles.

Musial Headed for Fifth Batting Title NEW YORK (AP)—Stan Musial, great all-around performer of the St. Louis Cardinals, appeared a certainty today to capture his fifth National league batting championship. The peerless outfielder-first baseman is far out in front with a 358 average with only four games to play. His closest pitcher, Richie Ashburn of the Philadelphia Phillies, is 17 points away. Ashburn, runner-up to Musial practically all season, is hitting 341 through games of Sunday. Musial, who also won the batting title in 1943, 46, 48 and 50, has one great ambition. He wants to better or equal Heng Wagner's league record of eight championships. Still at his peak, the 50-year-old has a fighting chance to achieve it. Ty Cobb holds the major league record of 12 championships. Jackie Robinson, 1849 but champ, is in third place with 334. Bobby's teammate Roy Campanella is fourth with 328. Fifth is Johnny Wyrostek of the Cincinnati Reds at 313. Rounding out the top ten are Monte Irvin, New York Giants, 312; Al Dark, Giant captain and Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh slugger, 308; Carl Purillo, Dodgers, 307; and Peanut Lowrey, Cardinals, 301. Crying Towels in Evidence by Coaches at Quarterback Club Crying towels were very much in use this morning at the weekly breakfast of the Anaheim-Fullerton quarterback club when the coaches of the Eastern Conference football teams gave a brief talk on their team material at the club center in Fullerton. Head coach at Santa Ana, Bill Cook, made the widest remark when he said Old Dons were probably the strongest team in the conference. He felt that after suffering two straight losses his Dons were destined for the bottom of the conference heap. And they would have to be the strongest team because they would be holding up the rest of the league. Pirate Coach Ray Rossb was feeling very happy about his team's victory over a highly rated Santa Rosa eleven, but when he heard the Fullerton El Camino score, he immediately became very upset. He felt that the conference was a whole was going to be rather stronger than last season, but Bill Cook disagreed with him. Cook still felt that every team would probably be better, except Santa Ana. Clyde Williams of San Berdoo gave a brief rundown on the Chaffey team as Don Kraemer, coach, couldn't make it to the breakfast. He described the Panthers as being one of the most highly spirited teams he had seen all season. He felt that they were going to knock turned toward Cook. Johnny Arremebede of Mt. San Antonio was feeling a bit low about his teams showing against a powerful California fresh team this week-end, but felt that the teams were really even until Pappy sent in a quarterback from the varsity. The frosh then pulled away to victory. Dick Speulding head coach at Fullerton high fell that the Saturday game with Montebuild was rather shaggy. He said that the team's passing was bad in the first half. The Indians play Whitier Friday at Whitier. Cecil Crew introduced Everett Cone, Anaheim board member in the club and Cone made the statement how he was slightly embarrassed about the attendance from Anaheim Crew felt that maybe more would turn out to a meeting held in their own town. So, the next meeting will be held Monday night at the Elks club in a 7 p.m. dinner with the top speaker of the night being Mike Pecarovich, ex Loyola coach and movie star. He is rated as one of the most colorful and interesting speakers in Southern California today. Battlefield Will Return to Races NEW YORK UP — Battlefield, the 1950 twb-year-old champion and a leading contender for this year's three-year-old racing title, today was retired for the season due to an injury. "He'll be back next year," said trainer Burr Mulholland, "I don't think there is any doubt about that." Battlefield was injured in a workout Friday, Mulholland said another horse knocked Battlefield into the rail, wrenching a ligament in the past. The coll, purchased by George D. Widener for $4500 and never out of the money, in 25 starts, earned $851,977. Battlefield won 16 races, 12 of them stakes, was second eight times, and had one third. Both-Confident ... NEW YORK UP — Leo Durocher and his gritty gang of New York Giants haven't given up hope for the National league penchant—but would settle for a tie. "Yes sir," said Leo Durocher, "will take a tie right now. "Give us a playoff with the Dodgers tomorrow and I think we'd pretty well. "We are the best team in the league right now." Charley Dressen, Dodger manager was surprisingly silent, except to say: "Preacher Roe will pitch the World Series opener for us against the American league champions." He gave a knowing wink.
