Yanks Snap Fenway Doubleheader Jinx to Virtually Sew Up Title By ORLO ROBERTSON Associate Press Sports Writer On Wednesday, Sept. 24, will go into the books as the day the New York Yankees snapped their Fenway park double-header jinx, the day 20-year-old Mickey Mantle battered the stitches off the ball and the day the world champions virtually closed the books on the 1952 season. The pennant-winning day can't arise until tomorrow in Philadelphia at the earliest, but a triumph today would assume the champions of at least a tie. Sewed Up To all intents and purposes the Yanks won their fourth straight pennant yesterday when they chipped the Boston Red Sox, 3-2, in 10 innings, and 8-6. Sure; the Cleveland Indians also won, whipping the Chicago White Sox, 610, behind the three-hit pitching of Bob Lemon. But it will take a real blow up by the champions to move the title to Cleveland on Sunday. The triumphs over Boston — the first Yankee sweep of a Fenway park doubleheader in five years — increased the New Yorkers' lead to two games. The Indians have only two games remaining, both against the Tigers at Detroit Saturday and Sunday. Hope for Victory The Yankees have four to play this season's final against Boston today and then three with the tough athletics at Philadelphia.

Tribe's chief hope lies in a Red Sox victory today and then at least two out of three wins by the A's—themselves battling for third place. Allie Reynolds, No. 1 Yankee pitcher with 19 victories and eight defeats, is Manager Cascy Stengel's nomination today. He'll be opposed by Sid Hudson, who has a 10 and 12 record. "We've gotta use our best now," said Stengel after yesterday's sweep. "These other fellas Cleveland are winning too, you know. We gotta take care of ourselves." "Left hander Ed Lopat will go in Philadelphia Friday and then we'll see." Best Day Mantle, no longer trying to fill Joe DiMaggio's shoes in center-field but playing his own style, had one of his best days of the year in the Yankees' twin killing. He provided the payoff punch in the first over-time inning of the opener, powdering the ball for a triple after Irv Noren opened with a double off relief hurter Dizzy Trout. Then in second game he pitched in with another big blow—a three run homer in the fourth. At the end of the day the books showed he had five hits in nine times at bat and had driven in six runs. Relieves Twice Johnny Sain, who relieved starter Vic Rasechi in the ninth, got credit for winning the first game—his 10th of the season. Sain also came back in the ninth of the nightcap when the Sox shoved across two runs, to help Ray Scarborough over the rough spot. Tom Gorman, the starter, got credit for the victory, however. The first game was played under protest of Boston Manager Lou Boudreau after the sixth. At the time the Yanks had only a 1-0 lead.

Some of Season’s Best Games on Weekend Sked BY HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK GP—Some of the season’s best football games will be played this weekend, partly hidden by the approaching World Series. Perhaps these forecasts should be completely hidden. Anyway, here is how the weekend college football games should come out: Michigan State over Michigan—Last year Michigan State said it was writing off 1951 and looking ahead to 1952—but the Spartans were unbeaten in nine games. Their current team is rated better than its predecessor even though it can’t improve its record. Irish Over Quakers Notre Dame over Pennsylvania—The Quakers have the material, and perhaps, the attack but Notre Dame had the benefit of spring practice. That could be decisive this early in the season. Ohio State over Indiana—Gone are the days of the breathers. Both clubs opened their seasons with this one. Ohio State was the defensible team last year but the Buckeyes are score-minded now. UCLA over Texas Christian—Don Moowmaw, outstanding line backer for the Californians, gives them the edge. Georgia Tech over Florida—The Tech backfield is rated as the best T-formation foursome ever to play in the south. The gaters will miss Haywood Sullivan, quarterback, who quit the collegians to play pro baseball. Lone Weapon Princeton over Columbia—This is the game you will see on your TV set Saturday. Mitch Price is Columbia’s lone weapon while Princeton is better stocked although it has no Dick Kazmaier. Texas over North Carolina—Only because this will be North Carolina’s first game using the split-T. Holy Cross over Dartmouth — Charley Maley’s passing will make the difference. Duke over Southern Methodist — The Duke gets the Duke in this Friday night affair. Washington over Minnesota — Washington’s Don Heimrich, fully recovered from last year’s injury, again is one of the country’s best passers. Maryland over Auburn — That Missouri scare awakened the Marylanders. Inexperienced Tennessee over Mississippi State — The only thing in abundance at Mississippi State is inexperience. Skipping over the others in a hurry! Friday night: Boston university over Syracuse; Southern California over Northwestern; Boston college over Richmond; Miami over VMf; Detroit over Wichita. Saturday! East: Cornell over Colgate, Delaware over Gettysburg, Pittsburgh over Iowa, Bucknell over Lafayette. Lehigh over New York university, Butgers over Muhlenberg. Purdue over Penn State Army over South Carolina, Harvard over Springfield; Yale over Navy. Kansas Over Broncos Midwest—Bradley over California Poly Teeh, Drake over Dayton, Tulsa over Hardin-Simmons, Illinois over Iowa State, Cincinnati over Kansas State, Wisconsin over Marquette, Oklahoma over Colorado, Kansas over Santa Clara. South—Alabama over Louisiana State, West Virginia over Furman, North Carolina State over George Washington, Georgia over Tulane, Mississippi over Kentucky, Clemson’over Villanova, Virginia over Vanderbilt, the Citadel over VPI, Washington and Lee over Davidson, Wake Forest over William and Mary. Southwest—Arkansas over Houston, Oklahoma Aggies over Texas Aggies, Rice over Texas Tech. Far West — California over Missouri, Wyoming over Montana, Utah State’over College of Pacific, Nebraska over Oregon, Washington State over Stanford, Utah over Idaho, Brigham over New Mexico.

Nearly everybody in Southern California beats water with gas—and enjoys automatic hot water service. In addition to this, 1000 or more new people establish residence each day in the area we serve. They too require gas for water heating as well as for cooking, house heating and other uses. Serving these new residents and serving them well is a challenge we have had to meet ever since the war. It's our job... a job we like... but a job that certainly has its financial growing pains. 2 WE'RE GROWING WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Providing gas for 1000 or more new people each working day—(that meant over 103,000 new dwellings in 1951 alone)—requires us constantly to expand and extend our facilities. We must increase our gas supplies from as far away as Texas... install new mains, new meters... construct new plants and buildings... hire and train more employees. With the cost of this expansion per customer nearly double what it was before the war, no wonder we have financial growing pains.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jersey Joe Walcott, having returned from the shortest retirement on record, will be given a chance to win back his title from Rocky Marciano — but there's some question about the date. Chicago and Miami have been advanced as the likely sites and January as the likely date. A spokesman for the International Boxing club says, however, the return gorm may not be held until sometime in June. Roof on Soldier Field "Where do you think we're going to put on a fight like that in the winter time?" he demanded. "It ain't going to be indoors, for certain, unless they put a roof over Yankee stadium or Soldier field. And it won't be in Miami. There ain't that kind of dough in Miami." The June date—which probably would draw a million dollar gate—would be a tough break for Walcott from a fighting standpoint since at his age he can ill afford the long layoff, whereas the new young champion figures to improve steadily. Gun-Sky? But regardless of the date, the game old codger from Camden isn't ever going to win his title back from Marciano—not after that terrible belt he caught on his chin. The scar of that one must remain if he fights until he's 50, which he more than likely will. He will be gun-shy in the next one. That might well have been as hard a punch as ever was delivered in the ring. It would be difficult to prove that it wasn't. When a man of Walcott's caliber is chilled so thoroughly that he doesn't remember having been hit and has no recollection of anything for in a couple of rounds. Could Take It "I really don't think so.' Charlie said equally." I believe that Rocky could have taken anything that Louis threw, just as he took everything Walcott had, and that he would have worn him down and knocked him out too."
