Post-Press Sports Editor

Major league baseball teams are
entering the last stretch in their
fight for positions in league stand
ings and the interest of the ma
tons baseball fans IS shifting 10
the impending world series duel
between the New York Giants and
the New York Yankees.
The Yanks and the Giants met
last season at the end of the regu-
lar season and the Yankees won
cut in six games. Sports writers
favor the Yankees to repeat this
season.
The Giants have not yet clinched
the National league crown but they
need only two victories out Of their
remaining seven games.
Dope favors the Yankees to blast
the Giants into submission but the
dyed-in- the wool Giant fans refuse
to admit defeat
Bill Terry's crew will represent
a much stronger team than the
club that lost four out of six games
to the Yanks last season and the
showing of the Giants last year
was a commendable one. True they
lost two games by huge scores but
NEST Of the runs were made in
ninth inning Yank rallies when
the cause was already lost and the
Giants were using patched lineups.
The turning point in the series
was in the third game when the
Giants lost 2-1. though they outhit
the Yankees II TO 4.
The hitting power Of the Giants
has been almost phenomenal in
their last stretch down the runway
and their slugging combined with
good pitching and fielding has
made them a tough outfit to defeat.
Melton. Hubbell, Schumacher ana
Gumbert have carried the pitching
load for the National leaguers and
Mel Otis shift to third base has
strengthened the Giant infield.
OFT, rated the outstanding right
fielder in the National league, has
developed into the class Of the
circuit at the hot corner.
Chiozza, a flop at third base,
moved into the outfield and became
a sensation over night. His hitting
improved and he is a great flyhawk.
The Yanks are counting on their
hitting power TO win the series
but comparative figures give the
Giants the edge in hitting during
the last month.
The American leaguers, however,
have pitching strength of their
own. Gomez, Ruffing and Pearson,
for the best pitching staff in the
American league
Series opener will probably pit
Gomez against Hubben and this
game may decide the series. For
comparative records rate the teams
almost evenly. The Giants have a
slight edge on defense, the Yanks,
by virtue of their home run power,
a slight advantage on the offense.
Anyway it'll be a good series.

ploIlSnlp tuesday.
A disappointing crowd of only
1000 was on hama to see Thompson
assume the heroic role of contri-
buting every one of San Diego's
four runs.
Two men were on base when he
poled the ball over the right field
fence in the third inning and one
was out when he planted the ball
in approximately the same spot in
the tenth. Thomas was on the
mound for Portland and was charg
ed with the defeat.
The Padres, without Thompson's
clouting, doubtless would have been
defeated. Only four hits were
squeezed from Liska and Thomas,
two of them being the outfielder's
circuit smaShes.
Hebert stayed the route for San
Diego and kept Portland's seven
hits well scattered.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Sept 30 UP)-Lead-
ing on the chicago board of trade
was listless today, with wheat flu
lures tracing a slow curve OF re-
coVery from fractional opening
slump.
At the close wheat was off II to
up Is cent. Corn " cent lower to II.
cent higher, and oats Is cent high
er.
Commission houses sold and ship
ping interests brought apparently
against export sales. Resting orders
stemmed the decline around $1O7A
for December wheat and prices then
rallied slowly.
Trading In corn was so dull that
for long periods quotations were not
changed on the boards. October
weakened and was followed by July
but December and May remained
within restricted limits.
Liverpool closed easier on profit
taking after a firm opening.

Grossmont's brilliant passing at

VIKING ERRORS

A grueling two-hour scrimmage
session, in which defense and pass
offen5e was stressed, Tuesday night
ironed out the rough spots in the
Holtville high school grid machine.
Holtville opens its season Friday
night against Coachella. The game
starts at 7:45.
The blocking and tackling Of the
Holtville squad was unusually ac-
curate and though the Viking Of
fense lacked the zip CT Coach Walk
er's 1888 team grid, experts pre-
dicted the 1887 edition of the Vik-
ing football machine would match
Holtville's wonder team OF four
years ago.
Coachella's light fast team will
be just the type of offense and de-
fense seasoning needed by the
Walkermen and the Holtville men
tor expects to have his team in a
league contending position when
the 1887 GRID season opens.

GIANTS N EAR
NATIONAL LOOP
CHAMPION SHIP

NEW YORK, Sept. 90 CUP)-The
New York Giants can put the clin-
cherS on the subway world series"
today either by winning a double
header from the Phillies or by TAX
ing one game from the Phillies
while the Cubs are losing to the
Reds.
Rain and cold weather perman-
emily cancelled the Giants double
header yesterday with the Boston
Bees, who were tough enough to
hold the Terrymen to 1910 even
break over the season. The cancel
lation was equivalent to two Giant
victories.
Hanging on by a slender thread
the Cubs turned back Cincinnati
20, behind Clay Bryant's 2 hit per-
formance. In addition Bryant drove
in one run with triple and scor-
ed the other on Hacks single. The
Cubs have five games left to play
The only way they can win the pen
nant is to win all their games and
the Giants lose six out of their
remaining seven.
Pittsburgh took over third place
by defeating the Cardinals, 6-2.
The New York Yankees need one
more victory to reach the century
mark after splitting a doublehead-
er with Washington
Detroit strengthened its hold on
second place by beating the St
ollis Browns al
Cleveland nosed out the Whit
Sox, 7-6, in the 10th On Solters'
homer after Mike Kreevich's error
had permitted the Indians TO tie
the score in the ninth. Bob Feller
won his 9Th game in relief role,
allowing l hit and striking out 3
men n ! 2-3 innings.

Naito can always be counted on
to carry out his assignment and is
about as hard to move from his
position on the field as steel goal
posts.
He makes more than his share
of tackles AMI is valuable man
on offense.
Marcus came up from the B
squad two years ago and his pres
ence on last years squad kept var
sity linemen working to keep their
jobs.
Naito is an all-yalley guard pros
pect this season and his smashing
tactics will play havoc with valley
teams offense when the regular
season opens.
