Desperate Dodgers Not Ready to Quit Yet, While Bosox Are Too Far Behind (By the Associated Press) The desperate Brooklyn Dodgers, who have seen their once-mighty 13½-game National league lead dwindle to just one game, go into today's big test against Boston's Braves with Preacher Roe (22-2) — their stopper — on the mound. The New York Giants, panting down the Brooks' backs in the mad chase for the flag after winning 35 of their last 42 outings, will spend the day watching and waiting. They don't get back into action until Saturday against Boston. Actually, the Brooks are in an advantageous position and the Giants will have to get the breaks to win the bunting. If the Giants win both their two games against the Braves, Charlie Dressen's operatives then will have to win three of their four remaining contests. Need Only One If . . . Should the Giants falter once, Brooklyn will need only two triumphs. And if the Giants should lose both, the Dodgers will need only one victory. Dressen is taking no chances on his pitching rotation. "It's got to be Roe," he said, "for we've got to keep on winning. I'm not expecting anybody to help us by beating the Giants. We've got to help ourselves. Carl Erskine will start for us tomorrow. I don't know who will go Saturday, but it will be Roe again Sunday if we need the win." Yesterday's 15-5 conquest of the Braves did a lot for the Dodgers against the slants of little Bobby Schantz and dropped a 4-1 decision to the Philadelphia A's. So the combination still is two for the Yanks—two triumphs or two defeats by the Cleveland Indians, who were idle yesterday. The Yanks have five games left to play and the Indains only two. The Tribe winds up the season's business with single games at home against the Detroit Tigers Saturday and Sunday. The Yanks play all five of their against the Boston Red Sox. Casey Stengel's men have only one worry about the Sox now. With their 7-3 loss at the hands of the Washington Senators last night the Beantowners can't possibly win the pennant. If they win all six of their remaining games, and the Yanks lose all five of theirs, Steve O'Neill's team will tie. BASEBALL STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet.

Yesterday's 15-5 conquest of the Braves did a lot for the Dodgers, even though the Giants came right back at night and polished off the Philadelphia Phillies with equal emphasis, 10-1. For one thing it indicated the Brooks have not cracked up completely after their double defeat by the Braves Tuesday night. For another thing, it showed that Don Newcombe, who had been trying to win his 19th game for a long time, again could be trusted with top assignments. Made No Progress In the American league, the New York Yankees made no progress in their efforts to sew up the flag. They were completely ineffectual.

The reason: head coach Joe Stydahar rescinded the fines. Thus, 28 players will not have $500 docked from their first game pay checks when the Rams open the National Football League season against the New York Yanks here Friday night, nor will two others be out $50. Stydahar said many people had construed the size of the fines far out of proportion to the violations of regulations. Nobody did anything, big Joe said, except stay out too long after the curfew hour in Little Rock after the Rams had beaten the Philadelphia Eagles in an exhibition game. "In order to clear up the entire matter and completely erase any questions surrounding the good character of our players, which is beyond reproach, I have rescinded the fines," Stydahar declared.

Four times is enough—and to many fans too much—for this furious feud between the ring's best 126-pounders. A battered, bleeding and disgusted Pep quilt on his stool after the ninth round last night. That gave the skinny Harlem Negro a nine-round technical knockout and a 3-1 edge in the series. It was almost a duplicate of their last year's battle, when the one-time great Hartford, Conn., veteran dislocated a shoulder. "My eye is bothering me and I don't want to go on. The pain is killing me." Stop the Rough Stuff That's what the sad-eyed, dark-haired little ex-champ told reference Ray Miller when the official warned him to cut out his holding and wrestling or face disqualification. Both gladiators had been warned repeatedly to stop the rough stuff. There were moments of boxing. Bee Football Squad Tangles With Chaffey Here Tomorrow At 3 P.M. Tomorrow afternoon on the high school practice field the Anaheim Bee football team will open up relations with Ontario when they play host to Chaffey's Bee squad in a 3 p.m. game. Last week the local Bee outfit displayed some exciting football against Redlands whom they tied 13-13. In the first half of that game both teams were sloppy looking, but in the second stanza both squads picked up the tempo and made the game very exciting to player and fan alike. Highlighted by the ferocious play of tackle Tel Tanake, Tom Berg, Dean Stokes, guard and Val Wiethorn, end on the line, the Colonists really began to roll up and down the field with the air of one used to doing it every day. Phil Wright only carried the ball four times, but he not only wound up as the leading ball toter of the night, but he even scored one touchdown and then the all-important conversion which he accomplished by smashing over his own linemen. Last week the locals rolled up 107 yards on the ground, but only a mere 55 yards through the air—all on the arm of Gayle Herbel. Little Herb had five completions in 14 attempts with four of those coming in the fourth period. Game time tomorrow afternoon will be 3 p.m. on the high school practice field, just north of the gym.

Stop the Rough Stuff That's what the sad-eyed, dark-haired little ex-champ told referee Ray Miller when the official warned him to cut out his holding and wrestling or face disqualification. Both gladiators had been warned repeatedly to stop the rough stuff. There were moments of boxing brilliance and Pep actually was leading by a shade on the scorecards of two of the three officials, including the referee. Saddler had inflicted a deep gash over Willie's right eye and floored him for eight in the second round. The 29-year-old Connecticut cuttle's right eye was half closed and he was bleeding from the nose and mouth. His strength seemed gone. In between the back-pedaling and sidestepping, Pep piled up some points of his own with swift left jabs and hooks and right crosses. He shook up Sandy several times and twice—in the second and fifth—connected with 13 and 14 rapid-fire blows without a return. Sandy was shaken both times. Referee Down for Count Both boys went down several times, wrapped in each other's arms. In the seventh Wily Willie collided his right leg around Sandy's left leg and the fighters and the referee all went down. Saddler swept the next two rounds. Dr. Vincent Nardiello, the ring-side physician, looked at Pep's eye and said "the eye is all right. He could see out of it." "I intended to fight a clean fight," said Saddler, "but he started the rough stuff. I got a little mad when he heeled me and thumbed me in the eye and stepped on my toes." Both boxers have gotten rich out of their feud. Their four fights in four years have grossed close to $600,000. For last night's show, seen by 13,836 Polo Grounds customers and by 50,000 others in 17 theaters in 13 cities by closed circuit television, Saddler received about $61,000. Willie got around $37. Maybe Joe's Last Season With Yanks NEW YORK (UP)—Joseph Paul DiMaggio has a personal stake in this pennant bid of the New York Yankees. It might be his last. "It still goes what I said last spring," said DiMaggio. "This might be my last. I haven't made up my mind yet. “If we win this will be my 10th and biggest of all. “These pennant races are funny things,” he said. Joe ought to know for he's been involved ever since he came up from San Francisco in 1936. “Anybody is liable to knock you off. You can't count on anything.” When Gus Zernial blasted a tremendous 435-foot home run in the left field bleachers, the boys in the press box tried to remember who had done it before. One of them asked Joe. "I did it twice in 10 days in 1937," he said calmly, without trace of boast. "And again last year off Bill Wight. Hank Greenberg also did it once." What was the longest ball ever hit in the stadium? He didn't take a second to pluck it out of his memory. "Once I hit the screen between the bullpen and the flag pole, right where that 457-foot sign is. Hit it off a fellow named Berry, pitching for Chicago." Nobody knows for sure, except Joe himself, whether this is the last year DiMaggio will play for the New York Yankees. He's crowding 37 and having his poorest year at bat. But years from now, fathers will be taking their kids to the Stadium. Pointing way out yonder, they'll say, "I remember when DiMaggio hit one out there." Warren Giles in Tough Situation CHICAGO (UP)—It was up to Warren Giles today: whether to accept the $40,000-a-year job as National League president, and the prestige that goes with it, or continue in his well paid position of one used to doing it every day. Youngsters Pull Through, But In Close Shave PEBBLE BEACH (UP)—California's 40th annual amateur golf championship tournament moved into second round battles today highlighted by the match between the state title defender and the national public links champion. Bob Gardner, Los Angeles, who oulasted the state's best a year ago, met young Dave Stanley of Montebello, the U.S. Publinx standard bearer, Gardner wrapped up a fairly easy first round win yesterday over Gordon Wilkes, Berkeley, 3 and 2. Stanley was hard pressed to get by Jerry Koreckel, San Leandro, 1 up in 19 holes. Three of four former state champions faced the rugged second round opposition. Bruce McCormick of Los Angeles, a two time winner, matched shots with Frank McCann of Oakland, who was a member of two Stanford intercollegiate championships. John Dawson of Los Angeles, a 1942 winner, paired with F.A. Henneken, local player who knows the Pebble Beach course from one end to the other.

Wrigley, who is owner of the Chicago Cubs, disclosed yesterday that all league clubs had authorized him to ask Giles to take over as president. Giles had no comment. Financially, Giles probably would be as well off to remain as president of the Reds. Once president of the International League, he has been with the Reds since 1936.

Cypress Anaheim Turf by Surf Sold to Mayer LOS ANGELES (UP)—Movie Executive Joseph M. Schenck has announced the sale of his controlling interest in Del Mar racetrack near San Diego to a group of Los Angeles men. The price was not announced. Louis B. Mayer, former boss of MGM studio, is one of the new stockholders. With him are Harry Curland, concessionairie; distillery executive Alfred Hart, sportsman Tom Peppers and others. Mayer, for several years the outstanding horse breeder of the west, appears to be the likely new chairman of the board. He has been active in recent months rebuilding the racing empire he abandoned to devote all his time to movie making. Schenck and Jayl Paley, radio broadcasting executive, bought Del Mar from Arnold Grant and Henry Crown in 1947. Eastern interests have been bidding for the stock but Schenck said he preferred to sell to Californians. Webb Everett will continue as general manager. Motley Headed For Release SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Injury-plagued Marion Motley, pro football's leading ground gainer in 1950, will be out of a job if he doesn't produce within two weeks, Coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns said today. Brown said bluntly that unless week will be a center this week. Using the powerful single-wing formation the Tigers don't use many plays, but rather stick to a few simple power plays such as Fullerton uses of which the locals have gotten to know very well. Passed Ten Times The Tigers rely on a good ground game to make the yardage and throw passes only enough to keep the defense honest. In the Monrovia game, they passed only 10 times. The Colonist's threw nine. They like to pull the reverse play a lot, especially when they are shifted to the left. Their power plays are constituted to hit between the opponents left guard and left end. With the single wing formation, blocks have to be held a lot longer than they do on the T and as a result a lineman on the single wing is really a blocker and goes all out to lay one low—not just brush by him. So it ought to be a fairly colorful contest. Anaheim should send a large body of spectators over to Motley Headed For Release SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Injury-plagued Marion Motley, pro football's leading ground gainer in 1950, will be out of a job if he doesn't produce within two weeks, Coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns said today. Brown said bluntly that unless the big fullback comes through against the San Francisco '49ers Sunday and the Los Angeles Rams the following week, "we'll let him go." Motley has been bothered all season with a swollen knee. "We'd give him up reluctantly," said Brown. "He's been a fine and loyal player. But if he can't help us, we'll give him up." Coach Buck Shaw dropped four '49ers to meet the national professional football league's 33-man limit. Dropped were Bob Pifferini, center from San Jose State; Robert Hileman, center from California; Dick Steere, tackle from Drake and Carl DeSalve, guard from San Jose State. Because nobles of the Middle Ages had no banks in which to deposit their wealth, the Encyclopedia Americana says, they had their gold and silver fashioned into ornate cups and vases. On the Chaffey squad are 13 lettermen returning from last year's team that got walloped by league winner, Redlands, 46-0. Lindsay really hasn't decided upon a definite line up as he has been doing a lot of shifting this past week, but as of today the line up will probably read something like this: Left end, Bob Smith*; left tackle, Don Vick*; left guard, Lee Riggs*; center, DeWayne Sims*; right guard, Julian Mercado*; right tackle, Charles Wilson; right end, Roger Barlett*; quarterback, Ben Hunter; left half, Sam Crowe; right half, Bob Grimmesey*; full back, Don Kauzlarick.* (*—letterman.*) The triple-threater on the team is highly rated Sammy Crowe, only a junior. Crowe was a shining star on the Bee team last year, but has shown such promise that Lindsay figures to go along with him tomorrow night. Vick is the younger brother of big James Vick, 215-pound tackle who made the all-CIF team in 1948 and later went to USC. Last week Vick was running at fullback, but tomorrow is slated for tackle and line backing duty. Sims who was a halfback last tween the opponents left guard and left end. With the single wing formation, blocks have to be held a lot longer than they do on the T and as a result a lineman on the single wing is really a blocker and goes all out to lay one low—not just brush by him. So it ought to be a fairly colorful contest. Anaheim should send a large body of spectators over to see the game. Notice how many were backing Redlands in the stands at La Palma last week? Lets see if we can do even better. Just think if we could have had 'say', 20 or 30 more in the stands last week rooting for the Colonist's. Who knows? They might have made the extra point or even completed that last desperation pass—so the loss was in a sense, YOURS, you, who stayed away from the game. Try and redeem yourself tomorrow night. Why not drive over to Ontario in a caravan. All leave Anaheim together around 6:45 and drive safely and saneily in a group. Why not try it?
