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.

Sanders Not
As Selectors
By ALEX KAKlf
Los Angeles UM UCLA
came within two points last year
of winning the Pacific Coast con
ference championship and the
Rose Bowl bid.
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.

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.

'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.

Question Mark
New York - (UJ9 There
was nothing but question marks
today In the minds of Yankee
supporters regarding their
mighty ace of past world series
fame, superchief Allie Reynolds.
To be sure, Reynolds didn't ex
actly disgrace himself Friday
while blowing a 8-2, 10-inning
decision to the sixth-place Tig
ers after his mound opponent
lefty Ted Gray, drilled a triple.
He gave up only seven .hits,
struck out five, and occasionally
flashed the old Reynolds bril
liance as in the ninth when he
blew three swinging strikes past
Steve Souchock with runners
on second and third.
