Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK UP — When Joe Black, the Dodgers' great rookie relief specialist, warms up in the bullpen he always stands about six feet back of the rubber and throws the extra distance steadily until Manager Chuck Dressen calls him in to take charge. "I've always done it," the young Negro star explains. "From back there the plate looks much smaller and it's harder to hit, but when I start pitching at the shorter distance it looks big as a house and the corners seem easy to hit."

Future prospects for continued thoro coverage of the local news scene look super-good—Anahi Journalism Instructor Howard Hell, who held down the Gazette Sports and wire desk during the summer, is producing some mighty fine potential newspaper people. NITECAPSULE — The trouble with getting someplace on time is that there's nobody there when you arrive on time. Jackie on First? Jackie, who is getting n younger or faster, can always move back to first, where he plays ed when Brooklyn won a pennant in '47 and that would leave the Dodger bosses free to peddle GHodges for a powerful sum of money if they wished. A prominent sports writer friend suggests that we relax and quit bellyaching about long base ball games. "I've never yet had a letter complaining about the length of games," he says weightily, although that settles everything. Money's Worth I've come to believe that the fan who pays his way in wants to sit there as long as possible and get his money's worth. Maybe it's only the baseball writers who don't like long games." The answer to that is that the more intelligent fans are too tired to write letters to the editor after they have sat through one of the modern three-hour paralyzers. They just go home and give the cat a couple of kicks and sit and sulk.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim, Phone 2404 GREYHOUND Gazette SPORT PCL Teams Trade Games in Sunday Play; League Standings Unchanged By The Associated Press Each Pacific Coast league team won a game Sunday. And each lost one. So everything remained unchanged as far as the penchant race is concerned. Hollywood, the leader, retains its 6½ game bulge over Oakland. Sacramento and Los Angeles traded shutouts before the smallest PCL twin bill crowd in California's capital city since 1943. Only 909 saw Joe Hatten beat the Solons 8-0 in the opener and Jess Flores turn back the Angels 9-0 in the nightcap. Hits, Runs and Errors Hatten gave the Solons seven hits. Three Sacramento errors accounted for six unearned runs. In the finale, it was the Angels who were guilty of three fielding lapses. Thus they lost their first game of the four game series. Oakland made it three straight over San Diego, winning the opener 5-1, then ran into the strongarm hurling of Ben Flowers, who blanked the Oaks 8-0. Noble Replaced The opener triumph was made on Piper Davis' seventh homer and four unearned runs off San Diego's Theolic Smith. In the second contest, Oakland's catcher, Ray Noble, ended his consecutive games behind the plate at 87 when Neal replaced him. It was Fred Haney's day at Gilmore stadium. The jovial Hollywood manager got a station wagon and a host of other gifts. The Stars won the opener for him, 8-0, Mel Queen scattering five hits—his fifth shutout of the year. Stars Take Series But Portland came back in the nightcap with a 5-3 decision. However the Stars annexed the series three games to one. Royce Lint pitched four hit ball for the Beavers. San Francisco beat Seattle 5-1 in their opener and bowed 4-2 in the 10-inning finale, scheduled for seven innings. The Seals' Elmer Singleton collared the Rainers and Frank Kaline's two run homer in the third proved to be all the Seals needed to win. In the second game, Nanny Fernandez slashed a homer in the tenth to break a 2-all deadlock.

It was the fourth straight win for the 49ers but may prove costly because fullback Norm Standlee suffered a broken right wrist and end Gail Bruce is out with a broken left ankle. Steeler halfback Harold Payne was the most seriously hurt, however. The former University of Tennessee standout was hospitalized with a possible brain concussion. His condition is reported fair. Football Strength of Deep South Bodes III for Gridiron Opponents ATLANTA (UP) — Down in the deep south there are facts to back the belief that 1952 either will be the best football season in history or the second best. Generally, 1952 is considered the southeastern conference's premier season. To top that year Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Mississippi and Co. must produce at least eight or nine first rate teams in the 12-team league. That is precisely what the southeastern looks like it's doing. Not One Lousey Team Mississippi State is ruled the weakest in the loop and Auburn and Tulane aren't buzzsaws, but not one of those three deserves the label "lousey." The Associated Press's national wide pre-season poll duly honored Georgia Tech as third best in college football and Tennessee as sixth best. Mississippi didn't break into the top 10, but if the Rebels don't deserve to be there then college football is far and away from the best it has ever been.

The Associated Press's national wide pre-season poll duly honored Georgia Tech as third best in college football and Tennessee as sixth best. Mississippi didn't break into the top 10, but if the Rebels don't deserve to be there then college football is far and away from the best it has ever been. King Lear Fluid Jimmy Lear looks gold plated as he quarterbacks Ole Miss through the paces and runs through split T manuevers. The "King," a Memphis kid, can run and pass. His ball handling is good and he's a fluid faker. Nationally considered, Mississippi and King Lear aren't well known and therefore they aren't in the top 10 or on pre-season all-Americas. But wait until December. In 1951 Tennessee was the national champion which took a bolt ing from Maryland in the Sugar bowl. Tech was the unsung which grew to be fifth best in the nation and the Orange bowl champion. Tech Rates Nod This fall Tech rates a slight nod over Tennessee in potentialities. In running Tech probably has one of the best crews in the country. Leon Hardeman is first and foremost afoot. Behind him comes Larry Morris, Larry Ruffin, Bill Teas and Glenn Turcher. Quarterbacking will be in the inexperienced hands of soph Bill Brigman and fresh Jack Hall. No one, especially Coach Eob Noyland himself, expects Tennessee to score anything like the astonishing 373 points the Vols roll- EDDIE LE BARON SIGNS—Eddie Le Baron signs a two year contract with the Washington Redskins at San Antonio, Tex.

Each turned in important victories yesterday as the flag fever continued to mount with each game. Lopat, the 34-year-old southpaw from Arkansas, picthed New York to a 5-1 victory over the Senators in Washington to stave off Cleveland's bid to pick up appreciable ground on the world champions. The Indians, however, did cut the Yankees' first-place American League margin to two games with a 4-0 and 3-1 sweep of a double-header from the Browns in Cleveland. Roe Brilliant Roe, also a 34-year-old veteran and an Arkansan, threw a brilliant three-hitter at New York as Brooklyn came through with a 4-1 triumph that snapped the Giants' five-game winning streak and increased the Dodgers' first-place National League lead to five games. It was just 10 days ago that Paul Richards, manager of the Chicago White Sox, said: "If Lopat can come back and win five games for the Yankees, the rest of us can split on the fire and call in the dogs." Steady Eddy Wins At the time Lopat was nursing a sore arm. It was doubtful if he could recover in time to help the Yankee. Since then, Steady Eddie has pitched three games and won them all. Lopat hurled an eight-hitter yesterday and was credited with his eighth win on the strength of a grand slam home run by pinch hitter Johnny Mize. The blow came in the sixth and erased a 1-0 Washington advantage. Roe's victory proved a gigantic their fourth and fifth consecutive triumphs. Garcia blanked the Browns on six hits to post his 9th victory in the opener and his fifth shutout. Cleveland got four hits off Gene Bearden but bunched two of them along with two walks to score three times in the first inning. Luke Easter's triple was the big blow. Orange Takes Title Again TORONTO (UP) — Orange, Calif., won the women's softball title for the third year in a row Saturday night, whipping Phoenix, Ariz., 2-0. Earlier in the day Phoenix beat Fresno, Calif., 3-2, to earn a title shot, then dumped Orange 3-2. That set the stage for the finale in the series, which allowed each team two defeats before being eliminated. Phoenix had lost one earlier in the tourney. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub.

Greene of Peterson, N.J., in his annual report to the National Boxing Association. Greene told 300 delegates the increasingly tight hold on major boxing promotions exercised by the International Boxing Club and two major U.S. television chains "was tightening the noose around the fight clubs which have in the past spawned the great champions in ring history. Unless support is given, he predicted that within two years every major promotion of any kind will be tied to the co-axial cables.
