game is anticipated here be-

are 7-point favorites.
Coach Joe Kuharich will try
two offensive backfield units
tonight. with Eddie LeBaror

Rudy Bukich spelling him. Two
veteran halfbacks. Dick James

Halfbacks Jim Podoley of Gen.

with Leo Elter at fullback in
the other.
Runnels Won't Play
Kuharich said he had de-
cided to break up his all-rook-
ie unit because it put undue
pressure on the youngsters
even though some observers
liked the way they worked to-

Upset.
By Tagging Of
N. Y. Officials

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 tRl.--
"Straws in the wind indicate
the Dodgers are going to Los
Angeles"
This statement was made by
a Brooklyn club oficial after
New York City's Board Of Esti-
mate said after a 2-hour session
late yesterday that it had
nothing to announce.
The board had been called
for an emergency session, a day
in advance of its regular meet
ing, to reconsider a new pro-
posal presented by Nelson A.
Rockefeller to Mayor Robert
Wagner and Walter O'Malley,
president of the Dodgers. The
proposal was designed to pre-
vent the club from pulling up
stakes and going West.
Upset by InactiOn
The club official, who asked
not to be identified. was Obvi-
ously nettled by the boards
failure to come to q decision.
That's what the Dodgers
have been up against right
from the start" he complained
bitterly. while Los Angeles
comes through with firm offers,
this city continues to hold
emergency meetings-and con-
tinues to do nothing"
There still is a chance the
nine-man board might come
to a decision at today's meet
ing although that, too, was
doubtful in view Of Mayor
Wagner's description Of yester-
days session as IAN exploratory
discussion"
I'VE gave the contents Of this
mornings conference to the
board and they are going to
consider it, he said. There
were lots Of questions raised.
We are going to discuss the
question further tomorrow. The
board wants a full explanation
and time to think about It."
So Million Offered
The Mayor had reference to
a two-hour meeting he had
with Rockefeller and O'Malley
at Oracle, Mansion. his ofiiciaI
home. where the financier out
lined his latest plan to keep
the Dodgers in Brooklyn.
The details were not dis
closed but the proposal pre-
sumably was a further develop

(R.-Sixteen Of the country's
deetest 3-year-old PAGERS were
poised today for the 18th an
nual $73.52s Little Brown jug
at the Delaware County Fair
grounds half-mile track.
Torpid. bay son Of Knight
Dream, who won the 1913 race,
is the prohibitive favorite.
Plotting the odds-on choice is
Johnny Simpson. the 38-year-
old North Carolinian who won
the Hambletonian with Hickory
Smoke and who hopes to be-
come the second driver to win
both the big harness classics
the same season.
The race will be run in two
divisions. eight in each, and
Torpid has the pole in the first
heat. In the other section. in
sixth position. is Adios Express.
The latter, driven by Joe
O'Brien for Owner S. A. Camp
Of Shafter. Calf. has beaten
Torpid three times--the only
losses on the champions &c.
race record.
/ No one has ever won the side
wheeling feature twice in a
row. but Simpson could turn
the trick this time. A year ago
he drove Noble Adios to victory
in straight heats for a S29, 900
payoff, approximately the win
ner's end this time.
Post time is 4 pm, and the
tail end Of Hurricane Esther
was expected to bring some
scattered showers. Last week.
Torpid lost TO Adios Express at
Detroit on a muddy track, but
the showers were not expected
TO slow up the lightning fast
track.
The FIRST five finishers in
each division win qualify for
the l0-horse third heat. II one
Of the division winners takes
the third jaunt, he or she will
be declared the champion But
II a third horse romps home in
front, the three heat winners
will return for q runoff in
which only the 20 per cent will
be at stake.

of Mr.. Woodner's top company.

to ledger entries of payments Of
SIC, 900 on May l and $4,000 on
May IL, 1858, by Rock Creek
Plaza to Jonathan Woodner Co.
The witness said these payments
originally were carried on the

the entries were changed to list
them as reductions of Rock

He proceeded to carry out

Dean rified the first two
pitches past him. But on the

the ball to come down. Dean
