Hostilities 3-Hitter to commence at 8:30. Bob Snyder has split his 50-player troupe into rival camps.

The Golds will be bossed by making his major, league debut for 20 hits today as they snapped a Dodger winning streak at five games and defeated the National League leaders, 16 to 3.

Bankhead Shelled Bankhead entered the game in the second inning after Brook starter Hal Gregg had yielded -four first-inning runs and put two more Bucs on the bags in the second.

The rangy righthander from the Negro majors was shelled for 10 hits and eight runs in th? three and a third innings he toiled, including a homer by Billy Cox.

Matheson's defensive genius will be pitted against the two-man aerial barrage. Freview Game Tonight's game should be something of a preview of what the Rams will throw against the Washington Redskins in The Times charity contest at the Coliseum Sept.

5. Pass-minded Snyder will provide local fans with a spectacular show once the regular season dawns, but Bob warns not to expect much scoring tonight. He says the squad is split so evenly that he expects defensive strength to prevail. The Rams are introducing several new faces this evening with the hope that they'll bolster Dan Reeves' club to such an extent safely twice. Voiselle held the Cards hit-less until the third and scoreless "until the seventh, which Musial opened with a roller down the middle.

REDSKINS READY, EASE OFF TRAINING CHORES stiles. Lean and lanky Duane Pillette, whose dad Herman pitched in this loop for many, many moons, was credited with the victory. Acquired recently from Newark, he restricted the Angelenos to three singles for seven innings and allowed nobody beyond first base. But with two away in the eighth, Cece Garriott clouted his 19th homer. When Bill Schuster followed with a single and Eddie Sauer walked, Jake Mooty came in and mowed 'em down the rest of the way.

It was Pil-lette's second success against one setback. Baners Chased Russ Bauers teed off for Los Angeles and matched goose-eggs with Pillette for five innings. But three hits and two walks netted three runs in the sixth, Bauers being derricked for Orn Bakdr during the height of the uprising. Baker yielded another tally in the seventh and Don Os-born the final one (a homer by George Vico) in the ninth. All told, the invaders bagged 11 hits.

Bauers was tabbed with his fourth loss.

Of course this isn't 1948, but the victory of the Los Angeles Athletic Club water polo team in the national championships at Detroit the other day gives strong indication that it will be the United States representative in London next summer.

The Olympic Games selecting committee had strongly considered picking an all-star team to represent this country until after it had seen Coach Austin Clapp's walkaway with the championship. Francis McDermott of the Illinois Athletic Club and chairman of the Olympic water polo committee, stated that the L.A.A.C. team was the finest he had seen in' 40 years. Coach Clapp believes that with a little more work his team can be jv.st as good as the great Hungarian squad that won the 1932 Olympics here. LACKS RESERVES Jerry Flynn, publicity director for the U.S.

Naval-Academy, reports that Coach Tom Hamilton's Middies lack only depth to keep them from being a great football team this fall. "Capt. Hamilton," says Flynn, who is here visiting his old bunk mate in the Navy, Doyle Nave, former Trojan passing star, "has just about 17 top football players but some of the green material on hand may come along and give us help. "I think our team set a pattern of what it is ready to do this fall in the Army game last year when we almost and probably have tipped over the applecart for Glenn Doc Blanchard and Co." JUSTICE TO JUSTICE Jerry, who is a Notre Dame grad, assumes that no team in the country can beat Coach Frank Leahy's team, but he says confidently that if any team in the country can upset the Irish, the Navy is that team. He thinks Dick Scott at center proved in the Army game last year that he was the most underrated lineman in the country and predicts this rugged young man will be an All-American for sure this fall.

Choo-Choo Charlie Justice of North Carolina, in Flynn's opinion, is absolutely, the best back extant and is quite convinced that he will be the sensation of the 1947 season if the Tar Heels come through with the great team that is promised. As a matter of fact, a lot of folks already have North Carolina in the Sugar Bowl again. ABOUT FISHING Fred Maly, executive secretary of Better Fishing, says building artificial fishing ponds and stocking existing ponds and lakes with fish for youngsters and disabled hospitalized war veterans is meeting with great success in many States through the Midwest, East and Southwest. "Our surveys show," says Maly, who is here to press his program in Southern California, "that the movement has met with universal success. In Wisconsin, for example, where there are many fine fishing spots in the northern part of the State, the fish and game authorities now are building artificial lakes in the south so that the people of that section of the State can enjoy the same advantages as the folks do in the north." Scientific methods of fertilization of these ponds, according to Maly, not only speed the growth of fish far beyond the normal, but also make it possible for small bodies of water to support many times more fish than under natural conditions.

HEAR AND THEIR George Halas, owner-coach of the recently vanquished Chicago Bears in the All-Star game, says any team in the National League could have beaten the Bears badly that night Halas says no Bear ever played so poorly Reports on the Baltimore Colts are that Coach Cecil Isbell is looking around for another quarterback The Colts' coach figures Ernie Case is just too small for the job of quarterback in the pro ranks. Coaches of the Big Six pick the Kansas Jayhawks as the potential champion of that conference this fall Only two coaches disagreed They were George Sauer, coach of the Jayhawks, and Sam Francis, new mentor at Kansas State Their choice was Oklahoma Nebraska was rated third Both Sauer and Francis played at Nebraska And so did Bernie Masterson, the Cornhusker coach Ted Williams has been hitting better than .500 during the last 10 days Don Bunge, Redskin center, preached a sermon at the Eagle Rock Baptist Church the other night He's a divinity student After the sermon he sold 17, tickets to The Times Charity game between the Rams and Redskins on Sept. 5. P.S.: At that rate Don should have no trouble getting his congregation to fill the collection plate when it is passed. Mexico Eleven to Play Loyola Other newcomers include Jack Vergara Upsets Dade in Ring BY FRANK FINCH It took Simon Vergara.

a punching fool from Panama, five rounds to catch up with shifty Harold Dade last night at the Olympic Auditorium, but when Vergara found the range on Dade's jaw he all but blasted the former bantamweight champ right out of the ring. A despised l-to-5 underdpg, Vergara floored Dade twice in the fifth round and once in the sixth and then staved off the Negro's game counterrally to win a split decision before 5500 screaming fans. It was Ver-gara's first bigtime start after mild successes at Ocean Park.

5 to fare the mighty "Washington Redskins the Rams will be gunning for their third straight triumph over Coach Turk Edwards' behemoths. Meeting for the National Pro League title in 1945, the Rams eked out a 15-14 verdict, thanks mainly to the superlative play of Bob Waterfield and Jim Benton. Then, in last year's Times Charities classic, the Rams made it two in a row 16 to 14 on the strength of Bob de Lauer's 43-yard field goal in the waning minutes of the game.
