UBQPUB-ini Venn Botts Leaves Nightball Days Over May Play in L. A. i Sets Rumors at Rest WITH BOB WALTON This is a bit off-season but it is news. Venn Botts. the greatest all-time nightball player in San Bernardino history, is leaving San Bernardino and probably will do his future nightbailing, if any, in Los Angeles.

Botts has accepted a position with the Richfield Oil Co. in Los Angeles and is selling his San Bernardino sen-ice station. "I hats to leave San Botts said. "I've been here 23 years. But I can't turn down this opportunity." Botts.

the original exponent of the "whip ball" style of pitching In nightball, is still one of the best pitcher in the game, although he is a veteran of 10 years or so. During his nightball tenure in this district Botts has been identified with clubs in Colton, where he first gained nightball fame, Rialto and finally his home town, San Bernardino. In 1936 he led the old Stubbys to the American league title and this year he managed the Pony team that reached the Southern California finals. Botts admitted that it is doubtful whether he will ever again pitch nightball in San Bernardino or in this district. "If I play next year it probably will be in Los Angeles with the Richfield team," he said.

"If I pitched for San Bernardino I would have to make the trip from Los Angeles for every game. "Besides, I am getting pretty old to play nightball, so I may drop it entirely." Botts' announcement probably brings to a close one of the most colorful careers in nightball in this area, and certainly relieves the game of one of its choice drawing cards. It also sets at rest rumors thai Botts might take over the San Bernardino nightball franchise himself next year and operate the team independently. I One for the Books i Fred Mau, quick-thinking little quarterback of the San Bernardino high school eleven, pulled one for the books in the recent game with Santa Ana. I have heard of the play.

California teams of years back used to pull it, if I am not mistaken. But I have never seen it actually pulled in a game. Incidentally, for a prep player to try it is almost unheard of. At any rate, it went like this; Santa Ana punted. Mau, safety man for the Cards, gathered in the ball on about his own 30.

Quick as a flash, Mau attempted to boot the ball right back. It is a play, if it works, that generally catches the opposition flat-footed and is an excellent ground-gainer. However, Mau's attempted return punt was partially blocked in this case, and, with Santa Ana recovering, it gained ground for the Saints Instead. It was a good idea, though.

PREP CLASSIC TRANSFERRED TO J.

FIELD Yellowjackets' Record Better Than That of S. B. Eleven; Kickoff at 10 A. M. It is nigh on to Thanksgiving time, folks, and to football fans of San Bernardino and Colton that means but one thing the annual battle between the high school elevens of the two cities.

Here are a couple of late-develop ing facts on the 1937 scrap: 1. The game will be played on the San Bernardino junior college field at 10 a. m. and not at Colton, as originally planned. Colton, the host school, shifted the game because of better facilities at the college.

RUNNER-UP TEAM 2. Colton, with a team that finished In runner-up position in the Tri-county circuit, will enter the game highly favored to defeat San Bernardino, a team that finished fifth in its Citrus Belt league. Records of past San Bernardino-Colton grid classics have been one-sidedly in favor of the Yellow-jackets. In fact, San Bernardino has beaten Colton but once in their 12-year long span of relations. That was in 1925 when the Cards, sparked by the later-to-be All-American, Erny Pinckert, defeated a Colton team captained by Norman Fawley, present San Bernardino coach, by a 21-0 count.

ADAMS ON TEAM Ralph Adams, present Colton coach, incidentally, was a member of that same Colton team. Colton, although light, has a fast, clever team that has every right to favoritism over the Redbirds. The Yellowjackets' 1937 record shows victories over two Citrus Belt foes, Redlands and Chaffey, among others. While San Bernardino defeated Redlands, it lost to Chaffey. Colton went through an undefeated Tri-county league season until its last game.

That contest, with Bonita, was lost 12-0, as Colton played its worst game of the year. WINS ONE GAME San Bernardino, on the other hand, took but one Citrus Belt league game, and that from the weak Redlands Terriers. The Cards lost to Santa Ana, Pomona, Chaffey and Riverside. Preparations are being made to handle an overflowing crowd at the holiday contest and the bleachers on the east side of the college field will be available as well as the regular grandstand.
