 fl the Los Angeles Angels do manage to scramble to the Pacific Coast League pennant, they would do well to consider some sort of special bonus for Jess Dobernic.
 Dobernic, the slim fireman de- luxe appeared in his 54th game last night to stop the Sacramento solons with one run, giving the Angels a ' to win.
 The Seals walloped San Diego 14-S, to keep the first place bat tie all tied up with only three games to play. If the two teams wind up even, there'll be a spec ial one-game playoff Monday at Les Angeles.
 Oakland Seattle split swim bill, Seattle going eight innings to take the opener, 3-2, behind Herman Bosses four-hit twirling, and the Oaks bouncing back for an Ills win. Rainier Frank Mullen's four bagger broke up the first game
 Hollywood blasted Portland for 9-2 win, helped along by six Beaver errors. Gus Barnial's single double. triple. drove in three runs fer the winners.

On the next-to-last play of that game he suffered a fractured verte- hra and won't play again until next year, but the college scouts will be watching him then.

2HuFIeFs In Shape
 For Series
By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer

Spud Chandler and Harry Taylor, the two lame armed hurlers who haven't been of much use so far this season, were in position today to become World Series "sleepers" for Buckv Harris and Burt Shotton.
 Chandler, the veteran righthander of the New York Yankees, made his first start since July 10 yesterday and while charged with the Yankees 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox, showed enough to raise Harris hopes.
 The determined Georgian yielded two walks and two hits for all of Boston's runs in the first inning. He famed three straight in the second. surrendered a walk and an- other hit in the third and chalked up another stcikout in the third.
 Taylor, the righthanded rookie of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who hasn't pitched since Aug. Is when he was forced to retire in a game with the St. Louis Cardinals because of a stiffness in his pitching elbow, also made a surprise appearance Thurs day night.
 Alpha Brazle pitched and batted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-3 vic- tory over Bob Chapman and the Chicago Cubs. The lean, southpaw allowed 10 hits for his 14th victory and made three of the Redbirds' Ii hi.S
 The Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators split double header, the Athletics capturing the first game 11-8 and the Senators taking the second 4-3. Elmer Valo and Ferris Fain blasted two-run homers to win the first for the As.

 Army and Navy inaugurate their schedules, the Southern and South eastern conferences swing into high gear. the Southwest lists an im- posing array yof games, and most of the Big Nine members open up their le47 bag of tricks. And an unusual iuxtaposition by the schedule mak- CTS brings out rash of early-season intersectional contests.
 An interesting preview of the in tergecticnal picture was provided by the clash of University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles, l546 Pacific Coast champions, and Iowa of the Big Nine before a crowd of more than 10000. After see-saw battle, with the Hawkeves drawing first blood, the Rose Bowl crew from U. c. L. A. prevailed, 22-7.
 Another Friday night dish was the Denver meeting before 2S,- GOO, the largest crowd that ever wit messed a night football game in Denver. The Jayhawkers threw one scoring punch in the second period to defeat the Pioneers go.
 Today's top intersectional engage ment pits Navy against California at Berkeley, with the Midshipmen 2-I favorites to open auspiciously by whipping Pappv Waldorf's club A sellout crowd of 79,289 will be on deck for this one.

Texos Invudes Pennsylvania

Approval this week by the Federal
Power Commission of transport of
natural gas in the Big and Little Inch
pipelines from the southwest's oil
fields to the industrial east may
bring. about minor industrial revo-
luton.
The decision cut across an inter-
state feud soggy with controversy.
Coal and railroad interests lined up
solidly against use of the wartime
constructed pipelines as gas carriers.
AT one time Pennsylvania, heart Of
the anthracite industry, forbade
stream-crossing permits to any but
petroleum products and state courts
held specifically that natural gas was
not such a product.
Railroad brotherhoods and the
United Mine Workers claimed con-
version of the Big and Little Inch
from gasoline and oil transport to gas
would throw hundreds of thousands
of miners and coal transporters out OF
work.
In its order, the commission said:
''The record does not support the
position taken by the railroad, coal
and labor union interests whose pur-
pose, it appears, was to prevent in
PRODUCTION of natural gas into the
Philadelphia and eastern Pennsyl-
vania area"
More Efficient Fuel
Natural gas is cheaper, more eff
cient fuel than coal for some indus.
