Any way you figure it, the thing adds up to the same point which is that, poor old Mike is going to make approximately $100,000 out of the bout at the expense of the Army Emergency Relief.

I'd feel that gross discrimination was extant, No doubt there are many, others in the armed forces of this country who have some outstanding debts. And not a few of them would like to take a furlough of sev-' eral weeks, pick up a job paying a lot more than $50 per, 'and use that i extra dough to square some bills outstanding.

The Pacific Coast League campaign closes tomorrow with the pennant stiU unclaimed, thanks to a tremendously dramatic finish here today that gave Sacramento, a 6-5 victory in 11 innings over Los Angeles.

The Angels, one win away from the flag ever since Wednesday, went into the last half of tha-' second overtime panel holding a 54 only to be thwarted for the third straight game when Pinch Hitter Gene Lillard exploded a two-run homer. WHAT A FINISH! To say that pandemonium broke loose as the pellet gracefully dropped out of sight is to admit to a very weak vocabulary. The entire Sacramento team rushed to the plate, hoisted the one-time Angel atop their shoulders and paraded noisily around, the premises while: most of the 3900 fans fell all over each other' in a mad scramble to join the' celebrants. The wallop, incidentally, was worth at least $5000 to the management, for an overflow turnout of 10,000 is anticipated for tomorrow's concluding twin bill. Had the Solons lost today to put the Angels over, tomorrow's crowd probably would have been a mere 2500.

ONE GAME BACK Today's triumph lifted the Solons within one game of the Cherubs, but they'll have to sweep tomorrow's twinner if they are to capture the first bunting in Sacramento annals. tho nath nf iha Whirl. with Orv Markles (28.)

HAVE A rOIXT And, certainly, they aren't doing as much as the boys did at Bataan. This action really opens the way for the folks who have been shouting that what the war effort needs Is more concerted effort to the Axis problem.

We are not saying Conn and Louis don't owe Uncle Michael that dough. Chances are they do. Lots of boxers are that way. And Jacobs always has been one1 to encourage large loans made to top-flight boxers. see, it is one of his methods of keeping them tied to his promotion and prevents them from'vexhibiting their ares here or any other city out-side of New York without Jacobs' permission SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1942 Club Standings AST LEAGUE PACIFIC CO one-half games of the idle Team ten especially for the occasion could have done Justice to the way the three-year-old colt from Chicago and the Kentucky can-nonball fought it out one of the most smashing drives ever seen on any race track to end their long-cwaited -'dream race."

The veteran turf writers in the press box joined in with the screaming as the thriller unfolded step by step. Even the jockeys aboard the TRUE TO FORM BY BOB SMYSER Iron out a couple of those rough spots, Bernie Bradley, and you'll have a pretty fair ball club representing Loyola University this season, That's the verdict of the 3S00 Sunday morning quarterbacks who watched the Del Rey Lions make their 1942 debut against Redlands yesterday at Gilmore Stadium, winning the encounter by a 27-0 count. UPPER HANI) Bradley unveiled an effective formation attack that held the upper hand throughout the entire fray, an attack that was engineered capably by Quarterback Jack Stehly and featured the heavy plunging of Vince Pacewic and the speedy dashes of Sophomore Eddie 'Saenz. The Lion forward wall had its points, too, but its desire to make goal cost the Lions important yards in penalties.

Loyola lost 70 yards via that route and most of 'em were for violations in the forward wall. Most costly setback came in the first quarter when Saenz scampered 56 yards to score, only to have the ball come back on an offside penalty. BULLDOG STARS The score might have been even worse had it not been for a couple of valiant Bulldogs Bob Campbell and Keith Broaders. Campbell's towering left-footed kicks were just about the only offensive weapon the Bulldogs could muster. And Broaders tremendous work in backing up the line saved Redlands plenty of yards.

He was by far the best defensive man on the field. The stubborn Bulldogs held the winners to only one touchdown in the first two periods, but they made the mistake of throwing the ball into the hands of a couple of Lions in the final half and this spelled their doom. FIRST TOUCHDOWN The initial tally came after six minutes of play and climaxed a 57-yard drive. Pacewic started it with a 12-yard plunge and Saenz followed with a dash to the Bulldog 33. Stehly picked up nine yards around end and Pacewic powered to a first down on the-IV An offside penalty halted the drive momentarily but three plays later Pacewic bounced off tackle to go around right end for Turn to Page 21, Column 4 away-closing Senators will be Ray Prim, with Red Lynn ready to twirl the finale if the veteran portsider fails to stop the Sacs in the opener.

Blix Donnelly and. Tony Freitas are the likely Solon chuckers. Lynn, fourth Seraph deceiver today, faced only two men but one of them was that aforementioned meanie, Mr. Lillard and that, of course, made Red the day's loser. FLORES WEAKENS Lynn took over just when Jesse Flores seemed about to go down in the records as one of the big heroes of 1942.

It was Flores who untied the scoring knot in the top of the 11th by doubling against the left-field boards to bring in Billy Holm from second. But the effort apparently took all the wind out of the lean Mexican's sail3 for he had nothing when, he returned to the mound after pitch-ing four frames of shutout ball. He walked Buster Adams to set the stage for the debacle and Lynn was summoned to the rescue. Ray Mueller sacrificed Adams to second and then Lillard, batting for: Pitcher Bill Schmidt, socked the second pitch over the left fence. HARD BATTLE It was, incidentally Sacramento's fifth round-tripper in four games.

It was a rousing, give-and-take tussle all the way, with players of both teams keyed up to fight-ing proportions and the fans in constant uproar. Fists almost flew upon two occasions, once. when big Al Todd of the Angels knocked Gene Handley over with a body block when tagged out between first and second and again when Buster Adams came in high to the keystone sack to send Roy Hughes sprawling heavily.

Even the 7254 Dodger fans found little to cheer about, as their heroes had been roundly outplayed up to the time of the "presentation." The Dodgers had been outhit, 14 to 7, and even their first four runs had been tainted. They scored one in the first entirely because Nick Etten, Philly first baseman, became moonstruck on an easy double-play ball and held it in his glove until both runners were safe. And they scored three more in the second frame by sandwiching three Turn to Page 22, Column 3 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. On this, the final day of the 16th annual championships, 11 finals were scheduled for consumption, but because some matches were unfinished yesterday, they will go over today as additions to the schedule.

MATCH POSTPONED One of these is a semifinal doubles match in which Frank Parker and George Richards were leading Bob Kimbrell and Art MacDonald, 3-6, 8-6, 11-9, 6-6, when darkness closed down, on the gladiators.

But I'd like to see the figures on just how much this pair earned for him. too, in the course of their ring activity. CANCEL IT f- Wording of the stories from the East, which stated that the committee found it "impossible" to conduct the fight unless these obligations were met, leave the inference that Jacobs himself "moved in." Mike, you see, wasn't going to make anything out of the show.

That is, nothing by comparison to what he knocked off in other "charity" bouts where he took the radio and picture dough plus "expenses." Those added touches were going to the Army, too, for a change. We have no idea what these o-called "commitments" were. And, certainly, a debt is a debt. But, we say, let Mike and John Roxborough get their dough otherwise. It would be far bet-ter to cancel the bout than pay $135,000 off the top.

HATS OFF Hats off to the Southeastern Conference for realizing that in all fairness freshmen football players should be permitted to compete this fall. The Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Ten and the other major groups could well follow suit, because collegiate football as a big-time sport is enjoying its last good year for the duration. It is our contention that freshmen should be permitted to have this fling at varsity football. Next year a great many of them will be in the armed forces; along with the majcr share of the current varsity players. KIDDING THEMSELVES Those schools that think we are going to have another year of big football gates and power-ful teams are doing a piece of very wishful thinking.

There may be some big football games another year. But If they are, they are going tp be played between service teams that will have proselyted, subsidized and impounded most of the great players by September of 1943. The Southeastern Conference has besn rather a lone wolf in the matter of frankly handling its athletic problems. This Is the group that decided on. certain limitations.
