Thrilling speed Perfect safety Easy to transport NEW YORK The New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodg ers definitely will be playing their regular games in San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively, in 1958. The Associated Press was told that today by a source close to one of the local National League teams. No contracts have been signed no money has changed hands and no negotiations have even been originated -with member clubs of the Pacific Coast League.

But, according to the informant, presidents Horace Stoneham of the Giants and Walter O'Malley of the Dodgers have given- their word to San Francisco and Los Angeles offi cials that they 11 bring their clubs there provided all promises made last May are kept. The California politicos have no intention of reneging, he said. "Stoneham intends to contact Tom Yawkey of the Boston Red Sox very soon," the informant said, "to discuss a deal involving San Francisco and Minne apolis, similar to last February's Brooklyn-Chicago Cubs deal in volving their Ft. Worth and Los Angeles farm clubs, ine cea Sox. you know, own San Fran cisco and "the Giants own Minne apolis.

"No matter what the outcome, the Giants and Dodgers defi nitely will speed up action to move to the coast, now that the cat is out of the bag. Stoneham, in fact, has a meeting sched uled Friday with San Francisco leaders who are expected to bring a definite proposal from Mavor George Christopher. Hor ace is awaiting only that before he officially recommends the move to his board of directors. O'Malley will make his recom mendation to the Dodgers' board the same day. The informant said contracts actually had been signed with Skiatron Television to pipe closed circuit telecasts of home games into private dwellings in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas.

The informant said negotiations for the drafting of the San Francisco and Los Angeles territories would begin as soon as baseball law allows on October 1 and the two New York clubs would be in California before the major league winter meetings in Colorado Springs, Colo, in December.

DC 36" Famous Zenith Handsomely styled in CHICAGO Wl All 17 top-seeded men and women in the National Clay Courts Tennis Tournament grimly are holding on to their chances as play advances into the fourth day. Pilar Herrero, Cuba's women's champ, barely avoided an upset yesterday. Miss Herrero struggled to -lefeat June Stack, Hamtramck, 8-6, 2-6, 6-4. Miss Stack's long, hard forehand shots kept the 19-year-old Cuban running from one side of the court to the other. Miss Herrero's skill and endurance usually lasted until Miss Stack muffed a shot, but she admitted Danny Oaks Wins GALESBURG Danny Oaks of Los Angeles, won the 50-lap feature midget race at Galesburg Speedway last night to earn 25 points towards the 1957 National Midget Cham pionships.

The race was sanctioned by the United States Auto Club of which the Galesburg Speedway is a charter member. The feature race was marked with several locked wheels on the far turn. Three cars were forced out of the race at this point during the early laps. Johnny Kay held the lead until the final quarter of the race but Oaks managed to pull past him and crossed the finish line about a quarter of a lap ahead of the other cars. Only one pile-up occurred during the balance of the race program.

This was in the fourth heat race when two cars locked wheels on the No. 2 turn and the third car hit the rear of the one driven by Rex Easton. Chuck Rodee of Chicago, 111. won this heat. Johnny Cole of Denver, Colo, won the first heat race and Johnny McLain of South Bend, Ind.

won the second heat race. Ronnie Caplan of Chicago moved from fourth position into first place to win the third heat. An Australian pursuit was substituted for the fifth heat race and seven cars finished the ten laps out of a starting field of nine. This was won by Bill Homeier of Pacoima, Calif. The mid-season championship trophy races at Galesburg (3 (MUSS will make up much of the sur viving cast.

Some of the highly-touted talent was ushered to the sidelines in yesterday's opening round, but most of the 64 losers were club professionals whose game isn't sharp enough for them to match blades with the touring troupe. Gives Hole Away Today's pair of 18-hole rounds can't be much more spectacular than the inaugural matches. The preliminary firing saw such od dities as three-time champion Sam Snead giving a hole away on a self-imposed penalty and still carding a' 6-under-par 65; another player hitting the ball twice on a single putting stroke to lose a hole and the match, and 58-year-old Al Watrous, na tional PGA seniors champion, defeating a foe in four extra holes for the dubious privilege of meeting Snead today. Snead was the one everyone was watching, and his 4 and 2 win over 29-year-old John Sera- fin of Pittston, enhanced his rating as favorite to take it all. The West Virginian opened with a 35-foot eagle putt, and picked up four birdies along the way.

On the 11th hole, while chatting with the official scorer, he picked his ball from the green to clean it-only to realize too late that you can't do that in match play. He conceded Serafin a winning birdie. Freak Play Costly Ted Sleichter, 39-year-old Get tysburg, pro who gives les sons to President Eisenhower grandchildren, Barbara and Da vid, lost a one-down match to young Dow Finsterwald of Athens, Ohio, and Tequesta, on another penalty. His tee shot remained imbedded in the green on the 170-yard 17th hole, while the match was all square. As he putted, the ball popped from the hole and came down on top of the putter- blade.

Sleichter called the penalty shot on himself, lost the hole by a stroke and the match by a single hole. While Snead, brandishing a new driver in place of the one he's used for two decades, was the outstanding favorite, some of the galleryites were pointing the "new champion" finger at Gene Littler, the 1953 amateur king. Gene got into this one at the express invitation of the PGA executive committee, without qualifying, and he could turn out to be the man who came to dinner and stayed right on defying all efforts to eject him. He celebrates his 27th birthday Sunday, the day the 36-hole championship round is played, and after his 33-3467 for a one-up first round win over Don Fairfield of Casey, 111., Littler could still be around. Stars Twinkle Out Along with the host of club professionals erased in the open ing matches were such luminaries as Chick Harbert, Chandler Harper and Jim Turnesa, all PGA victors in recent years; Ed Furgol, the 1954 National Open champion, and Bob Toski, who won the world title the same year.

Still on hand, along with Snead as today's play started, were former champions Vic Ghezzi, Walter Burkemo, Doug iord, and Jackie Burke who won a year ago. All the former kings, except Ghezzi, matched or bettered par in the opener, and Vic missed by only two' strokes as he eased past Howie Deangelus of Rochester, N.Y., 1 up. There were four other matches yesterday involving Michigan men. Eldon Bribbs of Lansing won from Bill Hanger of Heralds-burg, 3 and 2. Bob Gajda of Bloomfield Hills defeated Armand Farina of Schenectady, N.Y., 6 and 5.

John Dalrymple of St. Clair Shores lost to Robert Moore of Fairfax, 3 and 2. JflXOR LEAGUE RESULTS (By the Associated Press) PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Vancouver 11. Los Angeles 5. Hollywood 3.
