Beavers Figured Out
Of Race for Pennant1
San Francisco U.E) Five Pa
cific Coast league teams Friday
claimed a good chance to win
the 1952 pennant. Only Port
land, Sacramento and San Fran
cisco appeared to be out of the
race,, as it moved toward the
end of its 15th week.
The three tail end clubs, from
lite to 17'i games back of
the chase, are the only ones in
the PCL this season not using
optioned players. Next year, un
less the league relents, no PCL
Jeam will be permitted to" use
an optioned player.
Because the Beavers, Solons
and Seals are starting a season
early to "develop young talent,"
the bad news of 1952 may prove
good news during 1953. Their
clubs, next year, will have had
a season's experience in operat
ing optionee-less.
Having Fun
But meanwhile, the five teams
welcoming optioned players are
having funl Fifth place Los An
geles, farthest away from first
of the quintet, is only 6Vz games
back.
Oakland, fortified by the New
York Giants, has a half-game
lead over co-second place clubs
Hollywood and San Diego.
Thursday night, however, two
of the tail-enders had good luck.

Staley Tosses 12th Win;
10 Events Slated Tonight
On Hardtop Race Program
Approximately 35 cars are ex
pected to be entered in hardtop
auto races at the Jackson Coun
ty Sheriff's posse grounds on
Sage road tonight and 10 events
are scheduled.
Time trials are scheduled for
7 o'clock. First race is billed for
7:45 p.m. Events will include
four heat races, a final heat, a
trophy dash, a special race, a
consolation run, a B main event
and a main tangle.
California Drivers
Most drivers will be from
northern California. The race
program is promoted here by the
California Stock Car association
of which Gerald M. Piper is director.
Piper reported that a small
track such as the posse has is
preferred for the slam-bang type
of racing of the hardtops. Mis
haps that occur at the greater
speeds on longer tracks are more
damaging to the cars, he pointed
out, also remarking that great
speed is not a primary requisite
of hardtop racing. There are
still plenty of speed, spills and
thrills on a short track.
"Roll-Over" Bars
Cars entered must meet cer
tain specifications in construe-,
tion; Only models between 1936
and 1942 vintage are permitted.
They can be coupes or sedans
but must have hard turret tops
and "roll-over" bars which arch
over the drivers. Bucket seats
and safety belts are required as
are crash helmets and goggles.
No glass is permitted in - the
auto. '
High compression heads and
ground cams are the only, ex
tras permissable to boost the
performances of the cars.
Races are planned each
Friday night at the posse
grounds. It is hoped to get a
large number bf local racers on
the weekly programs. The Calif
ornia association has 1,100 mem
bers and 450 cars.
By UNITED PRESS
Eddie Stanky still has a long
way to go to win a pennant in
his rookie year as Cardinal man
ager, but his ace pitcher Gerry
Staley was a good bet Friday
to win him a bet from his old
boss, Leo Durocher.
Before the season started
Stanky bet Durocher a hat that
Staley , would win more games
than any of the three Giant
aces, Sal Maglie, Larry Jansen,
or Jim Hearn.
Thursday night Staley won
his 12th game, 10 to 3, over
the Phillies, as the Cardinals
extended their winning streak
to 10, longest in the majors this
year. Staley thus became the
number one winner in the
league. . ,
Team Gains
The Cardinals, now in third
place, eight games behind the
leading Dodgers and 3te behind
the runner-up Giants, gained on
both teams. The Cubs topped
Brooklyn, 7 to 6, and the Pirates
upset, the Giants, 6 to" 4, in 12
innings on Gus Bell's two-run
homer. The Reds topped the
Braves, 5 to 3.
In the American League the
White Sox moved to within 2te
games of the leading Yankees
by winning 2 to 0 and 4 to 2 de
cisions at Washington. The Yank
ees handed the Browns their
ninth straight defeat, 10 to 2,
while the Athletics drubbed the
