WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 1, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Tlirott 0 ' Mr. Fitz" Looking For Triple By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (1 Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, the 80-year-old dean of American trainers, Is getting aijout the Aqueduct ' stable area with a spring in his step these mornings as he and his assistants attend to the care and ieeding of some 50 thoroughbreds entrusted to their special talents. The reason Is, say his associates, that "Mr. Fitz" has come bacit trom the Saratoga meeting more than a little convinced that he has next year's triple crown winner in Nashua. Belair Stud's crack 2-year-old who won last week's Hopeful Stakes at the upstate track for his fourth triumph In five starts. Another sweep of the 3-year-old classics the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes would supply a fitting climax to one of the most notable careers in the history of the American turf. They say there isn't a man in the business who wouldn't be happy well, fairly so to see the kindly sage of Sheepshead Bay rack it up as his valedictory. The veteran trainer, who still drives his own car to work before daylight and put in a full 12-hour day, already has a pair of triple crowners to his credit Gallant Fox in 1930 and Omaha in 1935. Both, like Nashua, were Belair horses. Although Nashua, a big animal who already looks like a 3-year-oid, still has some distance to go to prove it, both Fitz and Jockey Ed die Arcaro already are convinced he's the year's juvenile champion. Arcaro told Fitz after the Hopeful that his mount "wasn't doing his best." yet one expert wrote that he believed it was the best race he ever saw run by a 2-year-old at Saratoga. Champions Go After Golf title MEDFORD Two and possibly three men's champions ot former years will engage in the battle for the 1954 crown when the 26th an nual Southern Oregon Golf Tour nament is held Thursday, Septem ber 2, through Saturday, Septem ber 6. at Rogue Valley Country Club here.

College Football Teams Across Country Start Fall Workouts NEW YORK W College football at Notre Dame will have the most came out of the mothballs today when most of the schools across the country started their fall work outs just two weeks before the first full Saturday program. The coaches, including more than half a dozen new ones at major colleges, wasted little time with formalities and got down to the problem at hand right away how to teach their charges to win games. A few have only one week to prepare as there are a scatter ing ot minor games a week from Saturday. Some have two weeks, while the majority will swing into action Sept. 25. On Sept. 18, the first nationally televised game will be California-Oklahoma at Berkeley and that one could properly come at the windup of the season be cause it will test two titans.

Thy Giants Increase Lead Over Bums By 3 Tilts By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer "The New York Yankees have lost their last chance to stop the Cleveland pennant dash single handed. "Unless somebody else Is willing to help, the five-year New York monopoly in the American League Is doomed to end this month. Only five games remain between the record-bound Indians and the second-place Yankees and the Yankees trail by 5(j lengths. The point of no return was reached last night. The Yankees got only two hits as Cleveland roared down the warpath to a 6-1 triumph. . The Indians, who are winning games at a faster clip than any team in modern American League history, actually taunted the world champions by loading the bases in the first inning and then not scoring, a maneuver that would have meant certain defeat in vears past. But Early Wynn never gave the Yanks a chance. Cleveland pushed over two runs in the fourih on singles by Vic Wertz and Dave Pope, a double by Al Rosen and a sacrifice fly. Four runs in the eighth, three of them on a homer by Dave Philley, wrapped It up. Irv Noren homered in the seventh. Enos Slaughter slashed a pinch single in the eighth. That ended the Yankee attack. Wynn's victory was his 19Ui and his most impressive of the year. In the National League, the New York Giants moved 3'i games in front of the Brooklyn Dodgers w.m a o-j triumph in St. Louis. Brooklyn managed only three hit off Gene Conlcy and bowed to the Milwaukee Braves 2-1. In other major league action, tne Chicago Cubs won a pair from Pittsburgh 14-2 and 7-3.
