A-Bomb hits Flatbush. Baseball has had more crises this year than the United Nations. If America survives the present World Series, nothing should ever get it down. For the national pastime in 1951 became a national disease. It is doubtful whether anything has stirred the people up more since the sluking of the Battle-Ship Maine. Or divided them more since the Civil War between the States. The World Series today came as something of an anti-climax to the whing-ding playoff games in the National League between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. These crucial contests did more to raise the blood pressure of the average fan than if you had put a bicycle pump in his veins.

Who somehow had escaped the general madness, looked at him and said: "He wouldn't waste that many tears on me if I dropped down dead." Of course, that's just like a woman. They take everything personal. In upper Manhattan, a stronghold of the Giants, a 12-year-old girl paid her six-year-old sister and four-year-old brother a nickel each to pray for her team. "I can't pray myself," she explained. "I have to listen to the game on the radio." The reaction of a visiting young Swedish woman to our tempest-in-a-horsehide was interesting. Taken by friends to see her first game, she gazed astounded at the uproar in the stands. IT WILL BE at least experts, before Texas gets ally. To achieve this Texas mother nature.

HERE IS ANOTHER lit why our Valencias should ret Maid, to whom the Exchange mildly, than the processor company the Exchange told IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago Mr. Pumphrey, the gentleman who had the honor and the misfortune to fall out of the third story of the Pico house a couple of years ago, is the conductor of the train which brought the circus to Anaheim. Dr. Gulick took out five contiguous teeth from the tongue and groove machine and grist mill, of our friend A. Guy Smith, yesterday. He feels better but does not see anything to laugh at. The St. Helena Star, Charley Gardner's paper, has entered upon its third volume, and we tender him the customary congratulations. A very nice job of painting has been done on the Episcopal church by the contractor, J. C. Hill. It is tention to gathering the walnut crop on his place at West Anaheim. 25 Years Ago A last effort is being made by registration deputies to gather in the stragglers throughout the county and get their names on the great register in time for the November election. When the registration books close Saturday, there will be approximately 45,000 names upon the official poll lists, according to a prediction by County Clerk Jos. Backs, registrar for the county. That means that about 5000 registrations will have been taken by Backs and his deputies since the August primary election, when the total stood at 40,509. The two remaining days of registration are expected to be extremely busy ones for the County Clerk and hold of the Giants, a 13-year-old girl paid her six-year-old sister and four-year-old brother a nickel each to pray for her team. "I can't pray myself," she explained. "I have to listen to the game on the radio." The reaction of a visiting young Swedish woman to our tempest-in-a-horsehide was interesting. Taken by friends to see her first game, she gazed astounded at the uproar in the stands. She appeared mystified at first, but gradually she became more and more absorbed in the plays. Her friends thought she was catching on fine until she asked in the ninth inning: "I understand everything now except why that one man keeps throwing the ball at that other group of men there." The group consisted of the batter, the catcher, and the umpire. Oh well, in another few days it will be over. Then, if you cut open the head of the most rabid fan, you wouldn't even find a single baseball. You'd find a football. HERE IS ANOTHER litter why our Valencias should ree Maid, to whom the Exchange mildly, than the processor company the Exchange told ter now. Minute Maid shower ended April 29.

OBLOOM FROM ANNE BY W FILLING THIS SPACE times becomes an onerous I receive occasional outside help today, and part of whom I could ignore only His communication, in Egg-Shape: I read with an unusual amo of interest your "trite yak-y comparing Pegler and Pearson Having been a fairly ste reader of both columns for seven years it is my belief that y opinion of Mr. Pegler could tinged (perhaps ever so slight by the fact that you are an ar trade-union man while Pegler been strident in exposing the ruption and un-Americanism some trade unions, including least one of the printing trades The St. Helena Star, Charley Gardner's paper, has entered upon its third volume, and we tender him the customary congratulations. A very nice job of painting has been done on the Episcopal church by the contractor, J. C. Hill. It is now completed, with the exception of the doors, which have to be grained. The Santa Ana Republicans were addressed last night by the Hon. J. J. Maxwell. 50 Years Ago Paul Kluss is making numerous alterations and improvements to his place of business. Tommy Deitrich is beautifying the interior with a new coat of paint and Frank Stone is placing a large plate glass window in one of the rear rooms to admit more light. Mr. Kluss is going in for improvements. W. W. Scott laid off Tuesday and went quail hunting in the cactus toward the Olive bridge. He has not shot a gun in four or five years, but doubtless created havoc among the birds. Quail are getting scarce. Superior Judge Ballard has granted Frances Winters a divorce from her husband, W. S. Winters. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Holman drove over from Long Beach on Tuesday. Mr. Holman will give at- WASHINGTON — Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine is leading an undercover drive to depose GOP National Chairman Guy Gabrielson — because Gabrielson won't join the covert anti-Eisenhower campaign. This is what was back of the slam-bang attack on Gabrielson by isolationist Republican Senators Dirksen of Illinois, Weiker of Idaho and Jenner of Indiana, all faithful friends of Brewsters. For some time there has been bad blood between the amiable, conservative Gabrielson — who feels he must be neutral us to all GOP candidates—and Brewster, who is both the strategist for extreme right-wing forces in the Senate and likewise Taft's. (Continued on Page 3) Having been a fairly steep reader of both columns for seven years it is my belief that you opinion of Mr. Pegler could tinged (perhaps ever so slight) by the fact that you are an ard trade-union man while Pegler been strident in exposing the corruption and un-Americanism some trade unions, including least one of the printing trades. You'll find that a great number of your fellow Americans believe that Pegler has performed a service not only to the trade union movement in posing corruption where exists, but to the American people in his rabid pro-Americanism. You'll admit yourself that some days "copy" is rather hard to scrape up. It is on those days that Pegler probably indulges dispelling the Roosevelt myths. Anyway, I think you'll agree that Pegler is one of the great craftsmen in the mechanics writing. If something can be pertly said, Pegler will so say: Pegler and Pearson are both useful members of the writing profession. If you could publish them side by side you'd probably have a community of readers who could argue all sides on any question in any bar room. So, I'd advise you not to put all that dough and get a script to the mighty Santa Anita Register (do they publish Person or Regler?)—we'll give you subscription to the Gazette so that you'll never be without Pearson. Max Besler. Mr. Besler: Frankly, I agree that my opinions of Westbrook Pegler are IT WILL BE at least five years, according to qualified citrus experts, before Texas gets back into a competitive position nationally. To achieve this Texas must also have a powerful assist from other nature. This is one more reason why our Valencias SHOULD return the California grower more MONEY. FOR SEVERAL years there has been suit against the Florida Citrus Commission to enjoin them from enforcing the state citrus code in the "Taste Test" section of that code. This suit was brought by a group of citrus canners and shippers. Some days ago these citrus canners moved to dismiss their suit against the commission. This was granted by the court and the canners and shippers will have to wait until the fruit tastes good before they can or ship it. Originally some fresh fruit men joined in the battle saying the we would hurt particularly the Hamlin and Parson Brown oranges on sour stock. These are the early season varieties which fall below the Florida Valencia which is Florida's late crop, coming in early spring. The early fruit does not bring nearly the net money to the grower that Florida Valencias bring. Now this "Taste Test" holds the early Florida oranges out of the early fall market. This is when our California Valencias are the best. Our California Valencias should be shipped into December if we are trying to get a good MONEY return for the grower. If we are simply trying to "move the crop" so that Mr. McLain his early navels will have the holiday market, as far as California fruit is concerned, then we should "button up" the Valencia dealily, take our losses, and get out. But, this year, it seems that not even "Mackel" will get the California Valencias out on the day he would like. Even if we are read on the "projected movement" with a saggy market, too. So the "Taste Test" code down in Florida is one more reason why our Valencias SHOULD return the California grower more MONEY. HERE IS ANOTHER little item, a further reason, if you please, by our Valencias should return the California more DOUG.

Citrus captured their first game of the season rather easily over a weak team—California Junior Republic—by the score 19-0. Half-time was 0-0, but two quick tallies in the third period was all that was needed. Halfback Vincent Veto scored two tallies in the season opener, but couldn't get going last week when the Vikings of Downey held the Citrus Cougars scoreless. Veto is the leading ball carrier of the team. Last week he lugged the ball 14 times—high for the game. He is fast while weighing in at 182. Orange and Lemon The Orange and Lemon colored Cougars use both the T and single-wing formation, but stick more to the tricky T.

But, this year, it seems that not even "Mackel" will get the California Valencias out on the day he would like. Even if we are read on the "projected movement" with a saggy market, too. So the "Taste Test" code down in Florida is one more reason why our Valencias SHOULD return the California grower more DONEY. HERE IS ANOTHER little item, a further reason, if you please, by our Valencias should return the California more DOUGH. Minute old, to whom the Exchange sold fruit cheaper, by far to put it slightly, than the processor was paying in Florida, and the same company the Exchange told us was in the red last year, is doing bet-now. Minute Maid showed a profit of $606,118 in the six months ended April 29. This information came to us in the Wall Street Journal. It merely points up the futility of the Exchange in a selling role. With the chips down in the frozen concentrate business they had better see to a profit for the grower before too much of that overhead is shifted to the "products" division. The Exchange put last years "loss" of Minute Maid out in a cheap attempt to justify their horrible blunder in practically giving away last year's "juice" fruit. The "cheaper fruit" contract, signed by Wilecox, which was never intended to be publicized, stands as a monument to the abjectidity or the complete disdain for the welfare of the grower which has been characteristic of the Kremlin's thinking for a long time. It is the most amazing bit of thinking—or lact of it—that we have ever seen. A thing like that better not happen again. Or it had better be at a real secret. But we are inclined to think that there may be a change intended in the philosophy behind the "iron curtain." It is no larger in a straw in the wind, no larger than a man's hand in the disc and is probably wishful thinking on our part. The "eyes" are watching. OBLONG VIEWS FROM AN EGG-SHAPED HEAD By WALDO HUNTER MILLING THIS SPACE two or three times weekly sometimes becomes an onerous task, and it is with appreciation that receive occasional outside help from readers. I have such up today, and part of the column is taken up by a reader whom I could ignore only by committing a breach of diplomacy. His communication, in its entirety, follows: Shape: Read with an unusual amount of interest your "trite yak-yak" eating Pegler and Pearson. Having been a fairly steady ruler of both columns for several it is my belief that your son of Mr. Pegler could be (perhaps ever so slightly) the fact that you are an ardent union man while Pegler has strident in exposing the corrosion and un-Americanism in trade unions, including at one of the printing trades. fected in a great degree by the fact that I am a union member. I believe in the principles of trade unionism and shudder to think what would have happened to this country had trade-unions not been brought into being during the mighty industrial revolution of the 19th Century. Unions didn't just happen; they were born for a cause. No one can gainsay that fact.

Handling the T-quarterback duties for coach Doug Mercurio's squad is Dick Richardson who was a standout on the Bee team last year. He is left-handed. The other two starting backs are fullback Baldimar Ramos, packaged in a suit that weighs 180 when full; and right halfback Jesus Miranda. Miranda carried the ball seven times last week while rolling up a high average. He scored one touchdown in the first game of the season. Cagey Cougars on Defense The cagey Cougars use a stout six-two-two-one defense more than half of the time, but on occasions will go into a strong seven man line and even to a four man line with four line backers. Considering the caliber of teams they have played and comparing them with the opponents Anaheim has played—it looks like Anaheim should be favored for the first time this year, and by about three touchdowns.

Dave Sands Wins On Decision Over Hawaii's Olson CHICAGO (AP)—The American debut of British empire middle-weight champion Dave Sands indicated Sugar Ray Robinson's world title won't go to Sands for some time, if ever. Before a paltry Chicago Stadium crowd of 2,279 last night, Australian Sands won a unanimous decision over Hawaii's Carl (Bobo) Olson in a dull 10-rounder that found Sands in a bad-way at the finish. Sands, fighting for a promised shot at Robinson's crown, wove and punched with both fists credibly, but at the end he was so arm-weary he was hanging on desperately. If the fight had gone one more round, Olson might have hung a finishing punch on Sands' jaw which was unprotected most-of the 10th round. In 44 bouts, Olson has lost four, two to Sands.

If the Colonists lose their game with Citrus tomorrow, it just possibly might mean their end as anything, but a cellar team in the Sunset League race, which starts in two weeks with the locals traveling to Santa Ana. Tennis Stars Candidates for Mexican Crown MEXICO CITY (UP)—Three U.S. tennis stars are likely candidates for the pan American men's singles crown. With the first five seeded players eliminated, sixth seeded Gerald De Witts, Berkeley Calif., was the theoretical favorite, and his name is clicking. He faces Mexico's Federico Cervantes, rates the ideal number three singles player. Cervantes upset second-seeded Harry Likas, San Francisco. Whitney Reed, Alameda, Calif., who upset top seeded Art Larsen, San Francisco, is another powerful bidder. Reed comes up against the third candidate, former British Davis Cup player. Rogers Hornsby Out of Job, But Still is Looking SEATTLE (UP)—Rogers Hornsby, who guided Seattle's 1951 Rainiers to the Pacific Coast League Championship, is free to look for the major league job he wants. The "Rajah" is through with the Rainiers—and you have the word of owner Emil Sick for that. "We gave Hornsby a week to sign. The deadline was today (Wednesday). He has not given me the courtesy of an answer. We're in the market for a new manager and hope to land Bill Sweeney." Sweeney resigned as manager of Portland, saying he didn't like the strain of competition. However, he may look with favor on the $20,000 to $25,000 Seattle managers are said to receive. Sick, a Seattle brewer, obviously was nettled. "We made him (Hornsby) a very fair offer," Sick said without elaboration, "and we cannot continue in this state of indecision. We have plans, too." Hornsby has been Dickering for big league managerial jobs. Sunday he conferred with Bill Veech, owner of the hapless St. Louis Browns and has scheduled further conferences. He also is known to have his sights on something higher—management of the New York Yankees if Casey Stengel retires. He came to Seattle this year on a one-year contract, refusing a three-year offer. Branca Costs Bums $150,000 NEW YORK (UP)—Poor Ralph Branca. He seems to have a playoff jinx. The National League in all its 75-year history has had only five playoff games. Branca has lost three of them. The tall righthander lost the decisive game of the 1946 playoff to St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2. He lost the opener to the Giants Monday, 3-1, and, although he threw only two balls, he was charged with yesterday's 5-4 defeat. By strange coincidence, the big pitcher lost two games in three days by tossing one kind of pitch to one man. Branca fed Thomson a high curve Monday and Bobby hit a two-run homer to provide the margin of the Giants' 3-1 win. He served the same thing to the Scot yesterday—whoooom! A three-run homer. Thomson's blow meant between $150,000 and $200,000 to the Giants, the approximate World Series share. For each player it means around $5,000 even if the Giants lose the World Series; more if they win. And it was a $150,000 blow to the Dodgers... many of them must have already ear-marked the money when they had a 13th game lead in August. The home run cost a Brooklyn hotel around $30,000. That's what the Brooklyn Baseball Club had laid out for a victory party which never came off. Golden Boy Gets Big Opportunity Against Carter LOS ANGELES (P)—Challenger Art Aragon of Los Angeles will get his chance to win the world lightweight championship from Jimmy Carter of New York when the two meet at Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10. It will be the first title match staged in the afternoon in California since young Corbett III defeated Jackie Fields in 1933. Promoter Cal Eaton set the date and boldly predicted $30,000 fans will pay upward of $150,000 to see the rematch. He said he sees no conflict in the fight date and the Stanford-Southern California football game in the nearby Coliseum. "All good fight fans will go to Russians Feel Moon Trip Near MOSCOW (P)—A Russian scientist says that rocket trips to the moon are already possible. He predicts they may take place in the next 10 or 15 years. The prediction, by M. K. Tikhonravov, gave no direct word that Soviet scientists are actively working on the project. Tikhonravov is a member of the Soviet Academy of Artillery Sciences. His article in a children's magazine said the first step in interplanetary flights would be the building of an artificial moon to serve as a launching platform. This, it said, would permit rockets to take off without having to see a title fight, regardless of a football game," said Eaton, himself an inveterate grid fan. Carter dropped a disputed decision to Aragon here Aug. 28. The scrap grossed $47,833 and many were unable to buy seats in Eaton's Olympic auditorium. Eaton intimated negotiations still are in progress to televise the match, presumably piping it east and out of range of local receivers. Ryder Cup Team Positions at Stake in Open KANSAS CITY (P)—Three positions on the U.S. Ryder Cup team are at stake in the $15,000 Kansas City Open Golf Tournament beginning today. Seven players already are assigned of spots on the United States team that will meet Great Britains top professionals at Pine Forest, N.C., Nov. 2-4.
