OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER The automobile, at one time heralded as man's greatest boon, seems well on the way to becoming man's greatest bane. This infernal machine has killed us off at a rate exceeding even that of war. Since invention of the horseless carriage well over a million persons have been ground to death beneath its wheels. The automobile is called the "horseless carriage" but ever so many drivers even today show a distinct anatomical resemblance to the horse. The American people have suffered less fatalities on the battlefield, both at home and abroad, than they have suffered at the holds of the auto. The statisticians keep a grisly count of the traffic dead, but there is no possible reckoning of the injured and the maimed, of the property damage, and the multitudinous lawsuits springing from this machine which, along with fine clothes and TV, is one of the three basic necessities of modern day life. We stand agast at the news of a major disaster which takes 100 lives, yet we blithely accept as commonplace the fact that on an ordinary weekend the traffic death toll over the country may far exceed 100. Traffic problems are first on the list of the big cities. The time will come when a place like Los Angeles clogged from gutter to gutter with cars will be forced to cease all operations and expire to a mournful dirge of honking horns and expostulating motorists, the whole ghastly scene shrouded by a gall of exhaust vapors. This demise of a great city will be not quite so spectacular as an atom bombing, but the effect will be about the same. Archeologists thousands of years hence, picking over the rubble, will find a wrist bone here, an old carburetor there. Did you ever stop to think that if the timing gear in each and every automotive vehicle in the United States ceased to function at a given time the country would be thrown into paralysis? Even Union Oil would find itself in a bit of a bind. Last Saturday evening it was my terrifying experience to drive to West Hollywood. Surely the darkest jungles of Africa with their glowing eyes of skulking beasts could never be so nerve-wracking as the brightly-lit avenues of that city with its screaming automobiles. The happy knowledge that you are traversing the streets of one of the world's most renowned cities is tempered to a certain degree by the unwholesome possibility that some frolicking motorist may drive through your front seat at any moment. Give me the days of Old Dobbin. When he kicked you, you at least were free of the fear of being cremated in a pool of flaming gasoline. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL Series Date Seen For October 1st NEW YORK (UP)—If the National and American league peaks end on schedule Sept. 2 with no ties, the 1952 World Series will open in the home park the National loop champion on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

A large number of visitors are now camped there, enjoying the cool and healthful sea breezes. The new brick building now in process of erection on the corner of Los Angeles and First North street is fast assuming shape and proportions and soon one more fire-proof store will be in use. A number of cattle were stolen from a ranch near the Hot Springs of San Juan Capistrano on Tuesday.

Henry Strudthoff and wife are spending five weeks at Long Beach. Henry Hussman went to Los Angeles on Tuesday and shook hands with the governor, now all the boys look at Henry as he passes by. Frank Nemetz and Miss Etta McClellan two popular young people of this city, were married on Wednesday and will make Anaheim their permanent home. 25 Years Ago September 1927 A beautiful wedding was solemnized on Saturday in Santa Ana, when Miss Cathering Phillips of that city and Robert H. Easton of Anaheim were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Easton, 617 Orange ave. Rev. A. G. H. Bode of St. Michaels' Episcopal church was the officiating clergyman. The bride's gown was a beautiful creation of flesh colored satin, lace and pearls. Her veil of princess lace was an heirloom. Her bouquet was of bride's roses. The bride was a member of the corps of teachers of Fremont during the past year and has many friends in this city. Mr. Easton is one of the best known of our going Botulism Takes Heavy Toll of Duck Population Emergency measures to save estimated 25,000 wild ducks surrendered by botulism in the overhalf ponds of Lomita Gun club near Sunset Beach were being tamed today as fresh water was being pumped into the shallow ponds a cost of $2000. At least 500 ducks are known to have died of the poison which John Laughlin, game manager with the state department fish and game, said is caused by stagnation of water heated by unusually hot weather. Many more birds probably dead in the reeds and other growth covering most of the cliff 840 acres of ponds and slough. The victims are mostly teal, cording to President Christie Hartge of Lomita Gun club and Foreman S. M. Farmer. They said that the duck population is exceptionally large this year and there are more ducks on the ponds now than at any time in the past 25 years. Informed of the prospective loss of wild life on the ponds by Laurelin, the Orange county council Izaak Walton league started negotiating for obtaining fresh water through the Orange county water district and cancelling its usual double price charged duck clubs for their water. Lomita club officials, however said they would pump the water regardless of the double cost. Under a county ordinance, duck clubs are required to pay for two-acre feet of water for every acre foot of water pumped into their ponds. Maureen Connolly To be Honored By San Diegans SAN DIEGO (AP)—Today is the day Maureen Connolly gets her horse. The young tennis queen, who will be 18 a week from tomorrow first rides in an automobile parade up Broadway. Then she gets the horse—often better yet, a choice of several fins riding mounts. A number of cattle were stolen from a ranch near the Hot Springs of San Juan Capistrano on Tuesday. Mr. Bohn was bitten by a ferocious dog on last Wednesday evening while walking on Los Angeles street. There are so many useless dogs about town, and some of them quite dangerous, that it is often time something is done in regard to them. There are several of these curs that regularly manage to escape whenever they are incarcerated in the dog pound. It is our firm conviction that a little poison should be used to dispatch those vicious one. There is nothing pleasant in being attacked hail a dozen times in one night by a pack of worthless curs.

City and county officials pro Ferris Fain Has Chance to Repeat NEW YORK (P)—Ferris Fain's chances for repeating as the American League batting champion appear much brighter today than a week ago. Last week Fain, after leading for most of the season, found himself confronted with Dale Mitchell of the Cleveland Indians, who had forged into a tie with the Philadelphia first baseman at .322 each. Today Fain still is hitting .322, but the Cleveland outfielder has slipped into third place with .324, one point behind the Kansas' Gene Woodling in second at .325. Figures include Monday's games. In the National League, Star Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals seems a virtual certainty to annex his third straight batting title. Owning a .335 mark, he holds a comfortable 15-point advantage over runnerup Ted Kluszewski of Cincinnati with .320. Cleveland's Larry Doby, who touss the American League in home runs with 30, is tied with Gus Zernial of the Athletics for the runs batted in lead with 95 each. Hank Sauer of the Cubs continues to pace the National League in home runs with 35 and in runs batted in with 116.

In the event of a tie in the national league necessitating a yoff, the first game of the series would not be played until Oct. 2. A tie in the American league would not affect the start the series Oct. 1. American league rules call for a one-game yoff, but the National league a best of three rule.

Recent years they have been bleachers and $4 for standbleachers and $4 for standroom. HIT IT HARD—Coach Bill Hicks watches an AUHS gridder hit the tackling dummy during practice. Anaheim is still in need of a working combination that will turn into a winning combination, but Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke hasn't found one yet. Ruplays and contact work are getting inswing, but conditioning, such as that above, will be important all year. GAZETTE California Outdoors By JIM THOMAS Ikes to Hold I California Outdoors By JIM THOMAS (Associated Press Outdoors Editor) It is almost axiomatic among serious fishermen that the best of the season comes after the average vacationer is off the streams and lakes—that is from Labor day until winter clamps down. Particularly is it true of the California high country this year as the heavy snows of last winter provided an excess of water, and some streams and lakes are just now at their tops. I tested that out last week on short pack trip into the Trinity Alps from John Neubauer's Coffee creek ranch and banged into some excellent lake fly fishing. On the Move The trip was more of a travelogue than a serious fishing expedition, since I hadn't been in that particular part of the mountains before and wanted to see as much as I could. We were on the move most of the time, in country from 5000 to 7500 feet high, and passed up a number of good lakes. We finished at Stoddard, at the upper end of the east fork of Coffee creek and at the south fork lakes, headwaters of the south fork of the Scott river, and across the divide which separates the Trinity and Klamath river drainage systems. Stoddard, the largest of the lakes in the area, produces rainbow and brook trout up to 16 inches, and is a beautiful blue lake high up in a granite basin. Over on the south fork lakes there are some rainbow and mostly brooks, and they run smaller, up around 13 inches. But what they lack in size they make up for in ambition; and I couldn't ask for better lake fly fishing, than we had there. Jack Horner The two best flies we had were three Adams and the Jack Horner deerhair in the dry fly list and the Western Coachman in the wets. Until dusk the Adams and the Jack Horner were better, but from then until we quit the Western Coachman, tied by Buzz Buszek of Visalia, with a stubby deerhair wing, was the baby. Being fly-rod addicts, we didn't have spinning tackle with us, but I believe that trips to the lake country should certainly include a thread-line outfit. We saw some beautiful fish taken from Stoddard on very small spinning lures. Never Again We also packed in a collapsible rubber boat, and I never voluntarily will pack into the back country lakes without one again. It weighed no more than a small tent, blew up easily, and put you in casting distance of the fish without wading up to your armpits in the ice waters. According to our packer, the lakes have "warmed up quite a bit" but I fished one with breast high waters and could really feel the cold after half an hour of it. We were in excellent looking deer country the entire trip, with signs around the lakes and streams plentiful. Later I checked with Neubauer and he told me that the hunters who go in there have excellent success. One party of eight last season brought out a buck each and the smallest weighed 140 pounds, dressed, and the largest 160 pounds. That's some deer for the coastal country. Ikes to Hold My Fry at Hillcrest Fullerton's chapter of the Walton League is holding a moth fish supper Wednesday in the cabin in Hillcrest starting at 6:30 p.m. The Ikes are sponsoring activity in order to raise for some of their community ects. The organization has to be quite an asset to Fry. Their main goal is to conserve water, woods, wild life. They have banded gether with six other coction-minded chapters in county. Through the League's own fish and game consortium fund was established in County, the first in the county. The fund is financed from received from fish and gasolators within the county. The dry, brush-covered approximately 40 quail grazing (watering devices) have installed. Due to this, the city's quail population has creased tremendously. Another project was aid to the construction of over 10 sonry and loose rock dams some of the fine trout stream in County. These barriers the multiple purpose of implying fishing, checking erosion and serving water. During the last of 1951-1952 these checks have proved their worth and now being copied by others of the state. These projects were made sible through the point control of county officials and State Dept. of Fish and Game.

Seidom Quoted Unlike some other diamond executives who come reading mind, George M. Weiss very dom is quoted on any subject shuns the limelight consist and when asked why, he said would rather leave the talk his manager, Casey Stengel, President Dan Topping. There have been those who not particularly admire Weiss his methods, who regarded him a cold fish and referred to as "Lonesome George." But only rarely that they have been to find fault with his judgment ball players or his ability to bid rivals for a man he wanted. From Retirement What brings up the subject Weiss at this particular time of course, his acquisition of two poor old worn-out pitcher Ewell Blackwell and Ray Scanough, and his bringing Charlieler out of retirement to do a tile fancy pinch hittting in the ing stretch drive. The idea of trying to pick some pennant insurance to the end of a race may not be actly new, but Weiss almost tainly has introduced refinement the past four seasons which she go in the textbooks. He struck it when he purchased big at Mize, a National league card and three straight flags teleguently to the success of methods. No Surprise Johnny Saim, waived from National league, gave the Yankees that little extra pitching needed in the stretch last year. Gridders Continue Work as Season Opener with Redlands Team Nears Anaheim gridders continued workouts today in preparation for their season opener with Redlands Sept. 19. With their first game less than two weeks away, Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke is still looking for a winning combination and a way to repeat last year's championship season. Conditioning is still a major factor in workouts, but more and more attention to combinations of backs, running plays, and contact work is indicative of the approach of actual meetings with other teams. Running Plays Coach Van Hoorebeke and his assistant, Bill Hicks, have been working with the backs, who are running plays every day now. Coach John Wallin has been overseeing the contact work of the Colonist linesmen. There have been no full-scale scrimmages as yet, but the coaches have had the boys bumping heads. Yesterday the gridders were split into two groups and backs ran plays against both the right and left sides of the line. Defensive linemen were in their places to give some realism to the work of the backs. No Praise Yet Coach Van Hoorebeke hasn't singled anyone out for particular praise or mention as yet, but a personal observation of the workout left a strong impression of the worth of two backs. Jim Roberts at the fullback slot was running hard and fast and looked like he will really pack the mail this season. And Dean Philpotts, a defensive end last year, carried the ball on every play as if he meant to stay at the halfback spot where he has been working so far this year. He literally mowed his way through the line. Other gridders looked alter-this season. Dick Glover, director of athletics, who's coaching the C's, says it's still too early to tell what his team's chances for success are. He has about 25 boys out now and expects about 25 more to turn up when school starts Wednesday. Only four members of last year's team are back this year. Lindell Gets Most Valuable Player Award By The Associated Press Hollywood's Johnny Lindell, the Pacific Coast league's winningest pitcher, was awarded the league's most valuable player award last night—and quickly showed why he got it. Big John throttled the Seattle Rainiers, 6-1, as he hurled a five-hitter. The win was his 23rd against eight losses. The lanky Star also belted one over Gilmore field's left field corner in the sixth. Lindell tied his best previous year, 1941, when he won 23 for Newark in the International league. Then he went to the New York Yankees where he was converted into an outfielder. The Stars' win put them seven full games ahead of Oakland, which was biding its time at Sacramento pending a doubleheader opening today of a four game series. San Diego's smallest crowd of the year, 967 persons, turned out to see the Pads drop a 5-1 game to Los Angeles. Willie Ramsdell's five hit pitch spelled the die. It found one yet. Running net work are getting into full functioning, such as that shown important all year.

The organization has proven to be quite an asset to Fullerton. Their main goal is to conserve and protect water, woods, soil and wild life. They have banded together with six other conservation-minded chapters in Orange County. Through the League's efforts, fish and game conservation fund was established in Orange county, the first in the state.

Due to this, the county's quail population has increased tremendously.

(AP)—Big Jim Trimble took over today as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles to face the man-sized assignment of tackling the champion Los Angeles Rams within five days. "I really stepped into a frightening position," admitted the former University of Wichita mentor after learning last night he had been named to succeed the ailing Wayne Millner. The National Football league Eagles meet the powerful Rams Saturday in Philadelphia under their fourth coach in three years. Vince McNally, the Eagles' general manager, handed the head coaching reins to the 34-year-old Trimble last night shortly after he accepted Millner's resignation. Trimble has been line coach under Millner. Millner later accepted McNally's offer to remain with the club as assistant to the general manager in charge of player personnel and game scouting. The 39-year-old Millner took over last year early in the season after the late Alvin Bo McMillin had been forced to retire, also because of poor health. McMillin had been named to succeed Earl Greasy Neale after the 1950 season. Trimble, who played tackle under McMillin at Indiana university, said he expects to continue Milner's basic T formation offense "and most of the other plans we worked out together."

It almost seems fair to say that Weiss was the first general manager to fully realize that the American league was in for a series of very close races, with the talent so evenly distributed among the top two or three teams that a single game won instead of lost might easily decide the pennant. He decided it was worth while to spend really important money to try to win that extra game. He has been repaid, and then some. MONTREAL (AP)—The National Boxing Association convention goes into high gear today with study of a request by the British boxing board of control for NBA backing in its suspension of Light Heavy Champion Joey Maxim. Jack Kearns, Maxim's manager, is expected to appear. He also has been suspended by the BBBC. Also on the agenda is discussion of adoption of uniformity in point scoring systems, a subject expected to be debated at length. The British suspension followed failure of Maxim, the British board charged, to go through with a contract to fight Randy Turpin in London.
