Bakersfield is a Seal farm . . .
That's the word brought here
over the week-end by Billy Ross,
the sporting goods salesman
from the Oregon metropolis and
the fellow who was responsible
for bringing the Craters and
Schroer together this spring . . .
Ross said that O'Doul also had
his eye on Jack Richards, pitcher-
outfielder for the champion
Silverton Red Sox, but that he
figured Richards logical position
was in the outer garden, mainly
because of his hitting ability . . .
Most popular man in Med

goodly number of signatures,

Torrid Battle Expected When Nova Faces Louis

Quarter Pound; 15-Round
Fight Starts at 7 PST.
New York, Sept. 20 (ZD
Only a quarter-pound sepa
rated Champion Joe Louis
and Challenger Lou Nova at
the weigh-ln for their 15
round title fight at the Polo
Grounds tonight. Louis tipped
the scales at 202 '4 and Nova
at 202 'i.
By Oayle Talbot
New York, Sept. 29. (Pi
lot Louis, of the blasting fists,
and Lou Nova, a rugged, coura
geous specimen from California,
clash at 7 o'clock (PST) tonight
at the Polo Grounds in a 13
round heavyweight champion
ship fight that promises to leave
60,000 spectators limp.
This is one battle that scarcely
can miss. Opinion is divided
sharply on the probable winner,
but there seems no doubt in
anyone's mind that it will be a
cruel, spectacular engagement
while it lasts.
This is one of the few times
that the big negro, Louis, has
met a man his equal in physical
equipment, fighting heart and
absolute confidence since he
won the title from Jim Brad
dock In 1937. Offhand, only
Max Schmeling among the many
who have challenged Louis and
taken their beatings appeared
on the surface to have as good
a chance as Nova against the
famous bomber.
Good Record
Nova belongs in there tonight
on his record. He knocked out
Max Baer twice, among other
things, and had Tommy Farr on
the verge of a knockout in the
closing rounds of their scrap.
Only some peculiar interference
by the referee saved Tommy,
who only shortly before that
had breezed 13 rounds against
Louis.
The one time Nova ever was
beaten as a professional was
the night he climbed into the
ring, a sick man, against Tony
Galento in Philadelphia. He
got it good that night, what
with his illness, Tony's rough
tactics and a referee who looked
on with amused tolerance.
"But I learned something that
night," he says now. "I thought
I could whip any man in the
world, even if I was half-sick
I know now that it can't be
done. This time I'm in the most
perfect physical condition of my
life, and I won't muff the
chance."
The bookmakers do not shari
Nova's confidence In his destiny.
At last check-up they were of
fering a bonus of 13 to 3 that
he catches a licking from Louis.
Anyone wanting to bet on the
champion was asked to put up
$13 to win $3. It Is one of the
biggest betting fights, they say.
since the days of Jack Dempsey.
Talbot Likes Nova
While many observers. In
cluding this writer, have picked
Nova to win, it must be admit
ted that they have done so with
some foreboding. They aren't
obnoxious about It, and they
usually wind up with a cautious
. "If Joe doesn't slaughter
him in the first round."
Even if Louis has slipped a
trifle from his dazzling best,
he still hits like a trip-hammer
and is too fast to be avoided
fir long.
Sunshine through a slight
haze, and moderate temperature
this morning gave promise of
favorable weather tonight. The
forecast was partly cloudy and
cooler, with temperature gliding
down from an expected top of
70 degrees.
IN GOLFING TIE

"Bums" Move To New York
To Get Rest Wyatt, Red
Ruffing To Hurl Opener.
By Judson Bailey
New York, Sept. 29 (IP)
The boisterous Brooklyn Dodg
ers and staid New York Yan
kees focused their full attention
on the world series today, even
if a lot of this town's sports fans
did not.
Since the baseball classic does
not get underway until Wednes
day, the sports spotlight was
turned on tonight's heavyweight
title fight between Joe Louis
and Lou Nova at the Polo
grounds, right across the Har
lem river from Yankee stadium.
But the champions of the Na
tional and American leagues
went about the business of pre
paring for their own world's
championship struggle. Both
teams scheduled workouts at the
stadium, and the Dodgers ar
ranged to ride In a late-afternoon
parade in Brooklyn as the
borough officially and elabor
ately celebrated the Brooks'
first pennant in 21 years.
This monster demonstration
was expected to excite the
Dodgers' fabulous followers to
such peaks of enthusiasm that
the entire squad of Brooklyn
players moved into a Manhattan
hotel last night in order to get
some rest and relaxation before
the big show starts.
Stadium Policed
The same expectation that
Brooklyn's baseball fanatics
wouldn't be able to wait till
opening day to set out for the
series prompted police to assign
a small detail of patrolmen to
Yankee stadium last night, 48
hours ahead of their previous
plans.
The 28,000 unreserved and
bleacher seats still available al
the stadium will not go on sale
till Wednesday morning but a
line of fans is expected to start
forming at almost any hour now.
Police said the early arrivals
could bring chairs or stools, but
would not be permuted lo
"camp out" with tents, cots,
stoves or other paraphenalla.
All box and reserved seats at
the stadium have been sold out
for several weeks, and a crowd
of about 70,000, largest in series
history, is expected to see tne
first game. A crowd of similar
size will see the second game in
the stadium Thursday and then
the scene will shift to Ebbels
field, which seats only 32,000,
for contests Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. If sixth and sev
enth games are necessary, they
will be played at the stadium
next Monday and Wednesday.
All games will start at 10:JU
a. m. PST except the Sunday
contest, which will not begin
until 11 a. m. because of New
York law.
It is agreed generally that the
opening hurlers will be 33-year-
old Wyatt for the uodgers, a
righthander with 22 victories,
and 36-ycar-old Charley (Red)
Ruffing for the Yankees, a right
hander with 15 triumphs.

Minnesota. Stanford Rated
Potential National Champs
By Herb Barker.
New York, Sept. 29 CFV Put down Minnesota and Stanford
In your football book once more as potential champions and,
even at this early date, figure on keeping close watch on Tu
lane, Duke, Texas, Navy, Georgetown, and Notre Dame. And
don't waste any tears on Harmon-less Michigan.
Defeat for some of these may i
be no farther away than this
week but the finger points to
them on the basis of their ex
ploits on the first big program
of the new season. Dozens of
other major teams will make
their 1941 bows this week and
a radical revision of the list
probably will be in order.
Faced with the sternest test of
all are Wallace ' Wade's Duke
Blue Devils. Victorious over
Wake Forest, 43-14, the Blue
Devils now must face Tennessee
at Durham in the game that may
decide whether or not Duke is
to finish with a perfect slate.
Minnesota, rated the No. 1
team in the country last year,
started off a new campaign last
week by whipping Washington's
Huskies, Pacific coast power, 14
6, as Bruce Smith scored both
Gopher touchdowns and gener
ally comported himself like the
all-America he is touted to .be.
Minnesota will be idle this week
but Stanford, which just got
past tough Oregon, 19-15, thanks
mainly to all-America quarter
back, Frankie Albert, will play
U.CL.A.'s Bruins. U.C.L.A., a
tough luck team a year ago,
beat Washington State, 7-6, in
its opener.
Tulane looked tremendous in
an easy 21-7 conquest of Boston
college. Sugar Bowl champions
and an unbeaten, united array in
1940. Next opponent for Tulane
is Auburn.
Notre Dame, uncovering a
fine passer in Angelo Bertelli
during last week's 38-7 rout of
Arizona, tackles stiffer opposi
tion in Indiana this week, even
though the Hoosier's dropped a
last-minute 14-7 decision to De
troit: Michigan's Wolverines,
with Sophomore Tom Kuzma
taking up where his Gary, Ind.,
fellow-townsman. Tommy Har
mon, left off, tackles Iowa after
handing Michigan State a neat
19-7 trouncing. Iowa warmed up
wtlh Drake, 25-8.
Dana Bible's Texas Longhorns
who brushed aside Colorado,
34-8, may find Louisiana State's
Tigers harder to digest although
the Tigers were beaten by
Johnny Grigas and Holy Cross,
1913.
Intersectional games are heav
ily stressed this week with the
south and western conference
furnishing most of the invaders.
Paul Brown's Ohio State buck
eyes, who outplayed Missouri,
12-7, make the long trek to Los
Angeles to tangle with Southern
California, 13-7 victors over
Oregon State. Purdue, tripped
by Vanderbilt, 3-0, on Jack Jen
kins' first-period field goal,
moves eastward to play Pitt.
Fordham, virtually certain to be
a championship factor in the
east, makes its tirst start against
Southern Methodist. '

WILLIAMS WINDS
UP SEASON WITH
AVERAGE OF .406
By Steve OXeary
Boston, Sept. 29 (tP) "Way
back in 1894 the greatest hitter
of all time refused to back into
the batting championship. To
day his favorite pupil has won
the American league batting
title with a .406 average because
he listened to the master.
The greatest swatsmith, ot
course, was little Hugh Duffy,
who fashioned that eternal .438
average the hard way. Theyv' .
wanted Hughie to quit to pro- i
tect his stupendous mark but the
"Duff said "no" and went up
and took his cuts. He didn't hurt
the average and it's secure in
every baseball record book.
Ted Williams, the willowy
walloper of the Red Sox and the
pride and Joy of that same Duf
ty, boasted a .403 average, as
the Boston team pulled into
Philadelphia for the final three V
games of the year.
Sane voices told Ted to sit the
rest of it out. He was home free
with .403 average In 1923. In
fact, he'd be the first big
leaguer to turn the trick since
Billy Terry hit .401 in 1930. '
Ted went Up Saturday and
managed to eke out one hit in
four trips. His average zoomed
below .400 for the first time
since July 25. The future was
black for everyone but Ted' ,
Williams and Hugh Duffy.
Yesterday there was a double
header and Ted stepped to the
plate for the first time. He belt
ed one out and it was a hit. That
happened four times in a row
and only a very ponderous de
cision by the scorer robbed him
of the fifth. Four for five is good
batting in any game.
The second tilt started. Ted
collected two for three in that
one. It was six for eight alto
gether and the average rushed
up from that .39953 to .406.
