New York 0JJ5 The Brook lyn Dodgers broke open the champagne Saturday moments after wrapping up the National League pennant on the earliest date in history and breaking all the hearts in Milwaukee with a 8-2 victory over the Braves. In rolling to their second straight pennant, the Dodgers clinched four days earlier than the previous record-holders, the St. Louis Cardinals, who nailed down the 1931 flag Sept 16 that year. Siskin Wins 19th Carl Erskine, pitching in 56 degree weather, yielded only seven hits as he registered his 19th victory of the season and eliminated the second - place Braves from all mathematical pennant consideration. Bob Buhl, the Milwaukee starter and loser, was the victim of poor support as four of the five runs he gave up were unearned.' . Brooklyn pushed across two unearned runs in the fourth lu ring. After an error, a single by Duke Snider and a walk to Jnkie Robinson filled the bases, Gil Hodges forced Robinson, al lowing the first run to score. Snider came across with the second run when Jack Dittmer threw wildly attempting to double up Hodges. The Dodgers clinched the con test with three runs in the sixth on' only one hit. . Roy Campan ella opened the inning with a walk, moved to third on Hodges' single and scored on Billy Cox' fly ball. After Erskine walked, Junior Gilliam was safe on Ditt mer s second error of the game -which permitted Hodges to score, Pee Wee Reese then walked to load the bases and Snider drew Buhl's fourth walk of the inning to force in Erskine. Tanks Hear Flag In the American League, the Yankees reduced their "magic number" to four as they wal loped Detroit, 13-4, while Wash ington edged Cleveland, 4-3. Any combination of four Yankee vic tories or Indian defeats will give the Yankees their fifth consecu tive pennant. Mickey Mantle highlighted an eight-run rally in the seventh inning with a tremendous 425 foot three-run homer into the upper left field stands off loser Billy Hoeft. Jim McDonald was the victor. Bob Porterfield became the first pitcher to win 20 games in the American League as he scattered 13 Cleveland bits. A double b; Jim Busby, an error by Larry Doby and a single by Ed Fitz Gerald produced what proved to be the winning run in the sixth. Saul Rogovin won his second straight game since returning to the active list although he need ed help from Sandy Consuegra in the seventh as the White Sox beat the A's. 6-5, whUe Billy Goodman drove in a 12th inning run to give the Red Sox a 7-6 triumph over the Browns. Big Kin Hits 40th Ted Kluszewski's 40th homer of the season with Gus Bell aboard in the fifth gave the Red legs a 3-2 victory over the Phil lies as Joe Nuxhall went the distance for his eighth triumph. Rookie Jim Willis hurled five hit ball as the Cubs extended their winning streak to eight games with a 7-1 decision over the Giants. Ralph Kiner hit his 32nd homer of the year with two men on in the seventh. Pittsburgh pushed over a run in the 12th for an 8-7 victory over St. Louis. Reliever Murry Dickson gained bis 10th triumph as Enos Slaughter of the Cards and Cal Abrams of the Pirates each homered.

Thus it is only natural, with Southern California ineligible for the New Year's Day classic, that the Bruins should be pick ed to finish on top this year. But Coach Henry (Red) Sand ers is not as confident as the selectors, who not only give UCLA the conference champion ship before play starts, but pick his team among the top three in the nation. Last year UCLA achieved its outstanding records despite the infirmities that beset its star tailback, Paul Cameron. There is little question that Cameron ranks as top back in the con ference this year, and one of the best in the nation.' If he stays healthy he could be an all-America choice. On Team Strength The switch to one platoon foot ball also is in ULCA's favor. The Bruins never have been favored with a "long bench" of substi tutes like their cross-town rivals Southern California. And their defensive stars of 1952 seem to be making the transition to the one platoon system. In pre-season reckoning, My ron Berliner and John Smith are tabbed for the end posts, although neither stands six feet talL Junior college transfer Ron nie Loudd and punting ace Bob Heydenfeldt might supply the height on offense, but thus far they have not indicated they can match Berliner and Smith on defense. Even Sanders Is forced to ad- Comets Win 37-7 From Rogue River Rogue River Using its No. 1 unit only about half the game. Crater high's grid crew rambled 37 to 7over autmanned Rogue River here Friday night. Crater, with its first strung intact most of the first quarter but only half the second, gained a midway margin of 19 to 0. The regulars played as a unit only half the third quarter as the Comets rolled up another 18 points and were not in action as a solid unit at all during the fourth period. Coach Leonard Warren sent in 51 players in alL All-around play of Howard Morris featured the contest. He saw action in the first half as a guard and in the second as a linebacker and offensive quart erback, making many of the Crater tackles and scoring two touchdowns. Parent Goes Scoring got underway on the opening scrimmage action of the mix as Vera Parent broke away on a quick hitter for a 53-yard TD ramble. Larry Bigham, se nior playing his first football for Crater as a spot performer, had returned the kick-off from the 10 to the 47 yard line. Parent went over from 14 yards out on another quickie, Bob Hill bucked the extra and Crater led 13 to 0 at the quarter. The Comets shook Bob King loose on a crossbuck for a 68 yard run and second canto TD which gave them the 19 to 0 halfway total. In the third quarter Gordon Carrigan went five yards off tackle to cross the goal. Morris touchdown ed on a one-yard push and on a 27-yard run following an interception for the other third period counters. Herberger Scores In the fourth canto Dave Her berger swept end for five yards to wind up a 60-yard Rogue River touchdown march. A fourth down pass gamble paid off for the Chieftains helped the drive. The aerial Don Biggers to Carl Martin gained 40 yards. One Rogue River threat ended on the four-yard line in the first quarter and a penalty nul lified another thrust across the pay stripe. The play was a Big gers to Norm Bean pass for 30 yards. Crater outgained Rogue Riv er 339 to 127 net yards and had 11 first downs to the Chief's five. The Comets threw only two passes. One was incomplete and the other was complete for no gain. Rogue River capitalized on Comet pass defense weakness and made almost all of its yard age through the air. It, lUt As Confident About Bruins mlt he is "fairly well" off at the tackles, where Chuck Doud and Jack Ellena function. And at ward the Bruins have veterans Jim Salsbury, Rudy reiaman and Sam Boghosian. The capable Ira Pauley returns at center. - Strong Backlleld With Cameron in goon neaun and scatback Primo Villaneuva benefitting from a year's exper ience, the tailback spot is in good shape. Linebacker Terry Debay seems to be making the transition to blocking quarter back. Don Stalwlck fills the wlngback spot and Bill Stltts is highly capable at fullback. Th UCLA Schedule!

Top Canada 'Cup' Team Montreal (U.R) Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas steadied their game" after dropping the first set on wet grass courts Saturday and won the American Zone Davis Cup tennis competition for the United States with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 doubles victory over Canada's Lome Main and Paul Willey. The Americans played in spiked thoes to counteract the slippery footing on the Mount Royal Club Courts A light driz zle, which delayed the start of the match for 20 minutes, per sisted through the four sets and a strong cross-court wind caused trouble on high shots. By winning, the Americans took an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the five-match series and qualified to meet the Belgium- India winner for the right to challenge Australia for the Da vis cup in Melbourne next De cember. Trabert and Seixas won the opening singles contest Friday. Immediately after the clinch ing doubles triumph, Lawrence Baker, - non-playing Captain of the U. S. team, announced that Trabert, who injured his ankle slightly Friday, and Seixas, who has had a heavy tennis schedule during the last month, will sit out today's final singles matches. Straight Clark of Pasadena, Calif , and Bernard Bartzen of San Angelo, Tex., will handle the assignments. With their spikes, Trabert and Seixas appeared to have less difficulty with their footing than yesterday when both fell twice. Trabert s service was at its tremendous best and his return of service was- brilliant Seixas' spinning service also was too much for the Canadians to handle and he did not suffer a service break in the match. . Main, ; who had a miserable day Friday against the brilliant Seixas, showed to a much better advantage Saturday, and Willey reached a new high. He gave the Americans more trouble with bis volleying from .the forecourt than they bad experienced sine coming to Canada. Canada won the first set main ly on XJ.'Sr errors as Trabert and Seixas took their time to get into form.. From then on, however, their attack was devastating. mm -UL Writhe WHEEL BALANCING The FIRST shop in Med ford to do wheel aligning and balancing.
