NEW YORK, Sept. IL. W.Pj-The
New York Giants spectacular
Transformation from a second divi-
sion outfit to a league leader has
monopolized attention in the ma
jors for the past few weeks to the
exclusion of the heavy clouting Of
Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pir-
ates who today seems headed
straight for 1886 National league
batting honors.
Waner has been among the lead
ers all season, but until the past
week he never reached the top. IT
he can stay there tn final two
weeks of the season, he will be the
only southpaw swinger to set the
batting pace three times in the
modern history of the National
league. Waner took the honors in
1927 with mark of $3.50 and again
in 1884 with 1862.
His mark for this year stands
today at a fraction under 1878. He
added nearly four points yesterday
by collecting four hits out of five
attempts as the Pirates slaughtered
the Boston Bees, 10 to 3. He has
had 1876 hits in 523 times at bat, in
Guiding four home runs, nine tri-
piles, and 40 two-baggers. Five more
safeties and he will hit the 200

The university will not open until

MENTOR PICKS
CALIFORNIA II

SEATTLE, Sept. IL. U.H = The
Golden Bears of University of Cali
fornia will be the team to beat this
fall for the Pacific coast conference
championship, in the modest opin-
ion of Jimmy Phelan, who today
assembled what many northwest
fans predict will be one of the
strongest Washington elevens in the
history of the school.
Phelan's forecast came as the in
nocent finishing touch to an AL
fonse CASTOR act. because last week
Coach "Stub" Allison at the Uni
versity of California named Univer-
sity of Washington as the probable
winner of the conference title.
The Huskies' first game is with
the mighty University of Minnesota
eleven on Sept. rs.
The Washington coach believed
U. c. L. A. might be the runner-up
team to California, with Southern
California third. 10,
Fifth place rating for his own
team likely will bring chuckles from
rival coaches and football experts,
who have placed the Huskies as
definite pennant contendSrs.
Washington will have intact its
backfield quartet of Elmer Logg, one
of the nations great punters; Byron
Haines, sensational runner; Jimmy
Cain and Ed Nowogroski.
Reserve backs include Rink Bond,
Unlocking quarterback; Jimmy
Johnston, sophomore triple-threat-
er; Chuck Newton, who mascoted
Phelans Purdue team when it won
the Big Ten title, and AL Cruver,
sophomore fullback.
Dick johnson, reserve end and
heavyweight boxing champion at
Washington, probably will be at the
other wing. Bud Wise, Carl Ma
tronic and Walt Rohrschieb will be
requirements.
Tackles will be handled by Chuck
Bond, senior, Jack Mackenzie, and
Vic Malkov.
Max Starcevich, all-coast guard,
will be back. His likely running
mate will be Frank Mates, or Steve
Slivinski, sophomore.
John Wiatrack will be Phelan's
veteran center with competition
furnished by Gil Erickson.
Washington must prepare rapidly,
what with Minnesota playing here
16 days after practice starts. The
Huskies will end the season with a
Christmas trip to Honolulu for two
games.

LONDON, Sept. H. WP-At giant
YWembley stadium in Londons north
end last night I discovered a sport
which is a perfect solution for a
problem which has long worried
America, namely, what to do with
aged left handed pitchers, worn out
wrestlers and others of a like mental
stature.
The name of the sport is speed
way racing, which is just another
fancy name for motorcycle racing.
But you must not confuse this with
Americas type of county fair motor
cycle racing, which is haphazard
and grimy at best. At Wembley it
Is done on a track costing upwards
of 100000 and staged amidst
enough pomp and fanfare to suit an
American Olympic official.
Last night men rode for the cham
pionship of the world and more
than $4,000 in prizes and there
were no fewer than $4,000 customers
in the stands. This crowd was a
bit unusual, due to the title at stake,
but I learned that for ordinary
races-and there is a meeting every
night in the week for six months
in the year--the average crowd is
$4,000
Perhaps it is worth mentioning
hat well over half of the motor
Wycle racing patrons are women.
Last night, for example, there
were fully $4,000 females in the
stands. No one is able to explain
this phenomena. Everyone ask
ed about it had different reason
and the reasons ranged from the
unusual good locks of the riders
to the fact that English women
are very morbid and delight in
seeing danger, disaster and death.
If that is true, motorcycle racing,
as she is done in London, is perfect

for them. Death turks under every
cinder of the quarter mile track
and the riders hit every cinder on
their mad dash around the bends
and down the brief straightaway
1t is so obviously suicide, I believe
it offers odd work for southpaw
pitchers and wrestlers past their
time. From the moment the bar
rier is sprung until the checkered
flag is waved the riders go at a
pace which makes all other sports,
even stunt flying appear as safe as
a child's game of sliding down the
soaped end of the bathtub.
The winner of the championship
last night was a balmy gent named
Lionel Van Praag of Australia
Lionel won it, not because he was a
better rider than his opponents, but
because his cubic brain content was
smaller. He did things on flying
motorcycle which made him, in my
book at least, the super madman of
the age. One of the little tricks he
used when in a great hurry to get
dIOullu d. CulVC was w otulC SOliA6
around it while still SO yards from
it. If that sounds crazy, remember
it should, for Lionel certainly is.
When he started making turn
Lionel would whip his little ma
chine which was travelling a mile
minute or SO, dead to the left.
Annoyed by this sudden turn Of
affairs, SO to speak, the roaring
cycle would spin broadside and
go into a violent sort of dance
reminiscent of Gilda Grey in her
heydey. III
The front wheel would bound into
the air, and the rear one would skid
dizzily, throwing a giant wave of
black cinders and tar into the air.
AS if to increase the hazards of his
business, Lionel always ducked his
head into this monsoon of dirt, COM
pletely binding himself.
A scout for the motorcycle trust
plans to visit America this winter
in the hopes of signing Americans
for work here next year. 1t will be
a blight on our national intelligence
if he gets even SO much as single
rider.

Jack Morrissette, newly crowned
middleweight champion of Impe-

defense of his title Tuesday night
in the Brawley Eagles arena when
he will meet Ray Hagar, wild
swinging Palm Springs middle

Morrissette, who was given a de-

Pablo Espudo, colorful Calipa-
tria fighter, will trade blows with
Willie Walker of San Bernardino

of the most aggressive fighters

flock to the CaleXicO grid
iron Monday night at 7:30
in answer to Coach Ed Coving-
tons first call to the colors.
Four lettermen, Samaha, an end,
George Kitta a guard, Clarence
Anderson, center and Arthur Naz-
abal, full back, will form the nu-
cleus around which the Calexico
mentor hopes to groom another
championship football team.
Covington indicated he would
have an even stronger club than
his championship team of 1885 but
the loss of two regular tackles
he had counted on using this sea-
son may put crimp in his title
hopes.
The Calexico eleven will boast
a fast, powerful backfield built
around Art Nazabal, sophomore
fullback and Kokubun, speedy
quarterback.
The line will be equally as strong
as last years forward wall, accord
ing to Covington, for he will have
several heavy candidates for the
tackle and guard positions.
Samaha and Anderson, two of
Covington's outstanding lnemen
from his championship squad will
be co-captains.s
The Calexico schedule will open
on September Is when the Bull
dogs are slated to meet La Jolla

edge in three of the four rounds
of the fight on the Post-Press
score sheet but Judges Mike Hen
ry OF Ell Centre and l.. L. Griffith
of Westmorland overruled Referee
Bill Tackett and gave the fight to
Morrissette.
The score sheet gave Graves the
first and third ROUNDS by a wide
margin, the second by a shade
and the fourth was even.
Morrissette took the offensive at
the opening bell and fought des-
rsratelv to rush Graves off his
feet. Graves calmly back pedaled
piocked off MorriSsette's futile jabs
and sent in stinging rights and
lefts to the head that staggered
the BraWley fighter.
In the second round both boys
rang in some good blows but
Graves again had the advantage.
In the third canto Graves caught
Morrissette with three terrific
rights that split Morrissette's lip
brought blood from his nose and
started a swelling under his right
eye.
Graves fought off two desperate
rallies and then rocked the BraW-
ley middleweight at the bell with
stiff left jab.
MorriSsette made a game stand
in the fourth round and managed
to hold Graves even in the Stanza.
The fans settled back after the
final bell to wait for the judges
verdict, confident they would give
the battle to the Negro.
