League President Claire Good win announced yesterday the league will meet here then to decide whether to foreclose on the financially stricken Seals. The S30.000 is the balance due on a $150,000 loan the league made to the Seals in 1953 when Paul I. Fagan sold his interest in the franchise and players. Fa gan's interest was taken over by the so-called "Little Corpora tion. " Damon Miller, president of the group, said the payment was due May 1. On Aug. 15, the league's directors told Miller in Los An geles that the debt had to be paid off or the PCL would take over the franchise. Miller said he expected to have the $30,000 'within "10 to 20 days," possibly through the sale of shortstop Mike Baxes who is on tlic block for $50,000. Meanwhile, radio station KSAN owner S. H. Patterson and his son, Norwood, have until Sept. 3 to exercise their option to buy controlling interest in the teamcby buying S20.000 of com rnon stock owned by Miller and Six associates. Souchak, Snead Ahead in Labatt Hlontreal (U.R) The "slam mer" and the "slugger" headed m field of 131 Dominion and American golfers today as the $26,800 Labatt Open, Canada s Qrichcst golf tournament, swung into the second round at the Summerlea course.

Stanford, Calif. (U.R) The Stanford Indians are facing their toughest schedule in history as far as Coach Chuck Taylor is concerned and the gritty red head refuses to play his usual optimistic role. After meeting Ohio State in a nationally televised game Octo ber 1, Taylor's warriors take on Michigan State and UCLA in that order. UCLA Tough "It will be hard for me to real ize that UCLA is as tough as last year's squad which beat us 72-0," Taylor said. "But Red Sanders still may have the best team in the conference. He is just playing possum when he says that Stanford or Southern California will go to the Rose Bowl." Taylor lists Stanford's strong points as (1) a more experienced team than last year, (2) more depth at the backs and (3) no irreplaceable losses among the 10 lettermen who departed. He has 20 coming back. "I'm also expecting to see good competition for all the pos itions," Taylor said. "That is an- i other thing which helps build a team. What about that mighty con signment of sophomores Sanders said would help Stanford sweep into the Rose Bowl? Delaware Town, Morrisville Vie In Series Final Williamsport, Pa. (U.R) Morrisville, Pa., and Delaware Township, N.J., practically neighbors, meet for the Little League World Series title today after blasting their way into the finals with home runs. The 1955 Little League com petition began with 1,800 leagues throughout the nation. But as it neared a climax, the lone sur vivors were two Delaware River communities located only 20 miles from each other. Delaware Township was trail ing 4-3 when it came to bat in the top of the sixth ana nnai inning against Auburn, Ala., Thursday. However, with two out and Tom Trotman on base with a walk, Harry Foulks homered for two runs. Wilbur Robinson then followed with an- nother circuit clout. The thrilling finish was almost a letdown from the sudden, 3-0, end which Morrisville put to its extra-inning game with Win chester, Mass. The contest went into over time when the teams completed the regulation six innings in a scoreless tie. Two innings later, Vince Sawyer homered with two mates on and two out to give Morrisville its triumph. HEART TOURNEY STARTS Kansas City, Mo. (U.R) U. S. Open champion Fay Crocker heads a star field today in the first round of the $5,000 Heart of America Women's Open Golf Tournament on Oakwood Coun try Club's 6434-yards of narrow fairways and fast greens. Miss Crocker and Texas veteran Bet ty Jameson, a former National champion, were regarded by local experts as the most likely to get the winner's check. NOW For Down Down Savage) portsman 1080 South Riverside Dial 2-7389 as in Past "Listen," Taylor said. "The enly sophomore who has a chance of making the first string is Lou Valli, the fullback. He has good running know-how, can block and seems solid on de fense." Might Surprise Jack Douglas, another soph, However, he did allow that "might surprise" in the battle for the quarterback spot which presumably is a two-way affair between John Brodie and Jerry Gustafson. "Brodie and Gustafson alter nated most of last season but this year we want to start with the position definitely belonging to somebody," Taylor said. Brodie has the advantage of being a good passer while Gus tafson excels as a take charge guy. The ends are a question mark and one of the team's biggest weaknesses, Taylor said. "John Stewart could have played better last year and will have to hustle this time to beat out Carl Isaacs for left end," Taylor said. "Dick Sein, an other soph, also has looked good there." "Jerry Beatie, a JV transfer, is tabbed for right end pending a check on the veteran Steve Docter who missed spring prac tice because of injuries. Eack Shift A principal shift in the back- field will be the switching of Paul Camera, a third string full back last year, to the flanker back spot in Taylor's T-system Camera looked impressive this spring at that spot, which calls for a lot of linebacking. Gordy Young figures as the running back along with full back Bill Tarr, who led the team in net yards gained last year. Barring injuries, Taylor thinks he has a good tackle twosome in veterans Chris Marshall and Paul Wiggin while Tony Mosick and Don Carswell are "real tough kids" at guard. Taylor slso expects Don Geddes to be a fine center and good line backer.

(U.R) It may be a consolation cham pionship in the eyes of the old sters but the 75th National ten nis doubles tourney was still a spellbinder today to youngsters playing in it. Although barren of top names, winning the title would still be the ticket to tennis fame and fortune for the youngsters, who got a crack at the crown when rain-forced postponements drove the big stars out. One of the darkhorse tandems hoping to hit tennis' big time with a win here got their come' uppance Thursday, but they played their hearts out before bowing. Another was to play in the semi-finals today and was al most assured of advancing to the finals. TV-iii rr 0,7'.. 1i.n.,. Al T T rum, a 20-year-old collegiaVi from Newport, R.

The hopefuls were Jerry Moss 19, of St. Peterburg, Fla., and Bill Quillan, 21, of Seattle, Wash.

Eugene's win kept the Oregon club three full games ahead of second place Wenatchee which belted Yakima, 15-8. Tri-City took the measure of Lewiston in the loop's other contest last night, 8-3.
