Pro Grid's S Diyisiona
Titles Due 10 Near
Verdict Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The whole
sale scramble for divisional titles In
both major professional football
leagues Is likely to be narrowed
considerably tomorrow with most OF
the eight games on the days pro-
gram having q direct bearing on
the championship races.
One of the most important tussles
Of the afternoon, since it involves
strong teams from both sides of the
All-America Conference, is the one
scheduled here between the New
York Yankees and San Francisco
'49ers.
Small Margins in Leads.
New York holds one-game lead
in the Eastern division while San
Francisco trails the Cleveland
Browns, Western leaders, by a game
and a half. Although a Yankee
victory would not eliminate the
49ers, it would put a heavy damper
on their hopes of reaching the play
offs.
Los Angeles invades Buffalo and
Cleveland entertains the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the only other games in
the all-America Conference. Buf-
falo, runner-up to New York in
the Eastern division, also needs to
win in order to retain any serious
hopes of overtaking the Yankees.
All ten teams in the National
League are slated to see action to-
morrow and the leaders of both
divisions will be risking their clear
cut claims to the lofty positions.
The National League lineup will
find Philadelphia at New York
Boston at Los Angeles, Washington
at Pittsburgh, the Chicago Cardinals
at Detroit and Green Bay and the
Chicago Bears at Chicago.
While the Cardinals are favored
at Detroit, an upset by the Lions
would enable the winner of the
tussle between the Packers and the
Bears to move into a tie with the
Cards at the top of the leagues
Western standings.
Redskins Menace Steelers.
Pittsburgh leads the Eastern Di-
vision by only half a game and
should the Steelers bow to the al
ways dangerous Redskins, the Phila-
delphia Eagles could jump to the
front by knocking off the lowly New
York Giants as expected.
At Los Angeles, the Rams will be
favored over the Boston Yanks.
Neither of these teams is expected
to overtake the leaders of their re-
spective divisions but both may
have something to say about the
final standings before the season
ends.

By the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-T'he ole
saying that horses are smarter
than people" could we'll be applied
today to Stymie, who with $0l6,0 ,06(
in the bank, can't see the need Of
running any more this season.
AS long as he continues to be

for a well-earned winters rest in

of Equestrian was to have finished
out the New York season before
going to the farm, but Trainer Hirscf
Jacobs announced yesterday that
Stymie was passing up the two re-
naming Empire City stakes fol
which he had been nominated.
Stymie has been bothered by
tender tootsies lately. In his last
race he ran an Indifferent sixth
and since has shown little II any
appetite for his morning whirl. For
this reason, Jacobs decided to with
draw his champion from today's
$50,O0O Westchester and Tuesday s
s25,OOO Daingerfleld and retire him
for the season.
The gallant chestnut couldn't have
known, of course, that his money
mark was safe and there was no
chance of any other overtaking him
this year any more. Armed, closest
in the earnings race, with $761 500,
likewise has been farmed out for the
season.
"Stymie will race in 49," Jacobs
said as he prepared to ship his star
to Jack SINNERS farm at Middle
burg, Va. His legs are sound and !
see no reason why he should not
continue running for those rich
purses next year."
Cost $500 as Two Old.
Jacobs claimed Stymie as a 2
ear-old for $500. The popular
speedster has raced lis times, win
ming on 81 occasions, finishing Sec
