28 (INS)-Two of the oldest and toughest rivals in baseball seem destined to meet in the world series beginning next week. The Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers tangled for the first time in 1907, the Cubs winning four straight with one tied. They were pitted against each other in 1908 and the Cuba won four games to one. In the 1935 series the Tigers got partly even by taking four out of six. DANCE I.

M. OVERSEAS By TOM SPRAGUE Hie first test of the power and strength of the 1945 Stockton High football team will come tonight in Pittsburg, when the local Tarzani meet the Pittsburg Buccaneers in Stocktons opening game of the season.

Kick-off is set for 8 p. m. Pitt's Bucs have played previous games this season and so should be more polished than the blue and white clad Tarzans. With 90 men out for the team, however, SHS Coach Mike Garrigan has more material from which to choose. Fullback Tony Lopez, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 160 pounds heavy, is the key man in the Pitt back-field.

Lopez scored three touchdowns while playing only half of the game against the Crockett High team. He is also a good left-handed passer. Garrigan scouted the Pitt team when they played Sacred Heart of San Francisco last week, and after watching the Bucs roll up a 13-0 lead at half time, reported that they looked pretty good. Stockton's formation will be tried under heavy ire for the first time tonight as Garrigan does not use real scrimmages in practice. This avoids injuries on the practice field.

St. Mary's suffered a bne-point defeat last week and the tram is anxious to win this game. The Calaveras squad captured the victory last season. Injuries have been light on the local tram and they will go into the game at almost full strength. Coach Jack O'Keefe has been drilling the boys at full speed, hoping to annex their first win in two years tonight.

O'Keefe's linemen for tonight include A1 Jacobs and George Miller, tackles; Danny Lucchesi and Jim Daley, ends; Don Peirano and Bill McFall, guards; Gene Castle, center. Other prep games tonight include Turlock at Oakdale, Modesto at Sonora, Tracy at Crockett, Lodi at Antioch, Christian Brothers vs. Sacramento. Jackson vs. Sacramento JV.

WEE WILLIE DAVIS LOSES ON A FOUL "Wee Willie Davis, the well-known Virginia planter, planted a hard knee in the midriff of Vincent (Elbows) Lopez in the wrestling main event at the Civic Auditorium last night and he was promptly disqualified by Referee John Toupen. The foul came after the heavyweights had, split the first two falls in an exciting match in which the highly unpopular J)avis handed out a fistic heating. The first fall went to Davis in 13 minutes, the second to Lopez lb 8 minutes, and the bout ended after 5 minutes of additional scuffling. In the semifinal Steve Casey scored a fail in 34 minutes with a reverse crotch hold to defeat Billy Hanson in the speed match of the evening.

Both men displayed wrestling skill of a high order. In the opener Pat Fraley went to a draw with Hardy Kruskamp, who substituted for Jack Claiborne. Pennant Races NATIONAL I.EAOl'R Pet. GB to Play Chicago 95 56 .629 8 Nt. Inila 92 59 .609 8 3 GAMES TO PLAY Chicago Plllahurah 3.

Washington Season complete. BY JOHN PR Fantasmagoria: Here comes that pipkin moon again and it's time to gather in the weekly harvest of football winners, give or take a few losses, i Strictly at your own risk this crystalscopes as follows: St, Mary's Preflight over COP Tigers will do their best with what little they have. CSC over California without Stub" Allison's orations from the balcony, the Bears still lose. Washington over Oregon I. Without Leicht, Oregon can't see its way.

St Mary's Gaels over Stockton Commandos The Mandos will learn about football from Wede-meyer. Stockton High over Pittsburg Pittsburg will get a dish of Also UCLA over San Diego Navy, Calaveras over St Mary' Oakdale over Turlock, Modesto over Sonora and, oh yes, Fleet City over the El Toro Marines. Watch for next week's enthralling installment. The trotting and pacing steeds that have been beating each other around the California county fair tracks this fall are only a sample of what the West Coast public will get in '46 if signs point in the right direction. The expansion of the Western Fairs circuit, plus the uppipg of purses and the removal of travel restrictions are expected to bring Middle Western stables by the carload to compete for the rich California prizes.

The Sacramento Stale Fair, for hints of a $5000 stake for free-for-all trotters and a similar award for free-for-all pacers. There may be similar offerings at the Los Angeles fair in Pomona, plus some attractive stuff at the 50 days of racing planned at Bay Meadows and Hollywood Park. California breeders, of course, will endeavor to protect their industry by limiting some of the races to home-bred horses but, after all. the admission-paying public also deserves some consideration. If the best trotters and pacers in the United States find it worthwhile to visit California It will be all right, too.

Such intrusions not only stimulate interest In the sport but also helps improve the breed of California standard breds. Baseball's second guess Gaspars had a field day the other night when, with runners on first and third in the ninth. Catcher Norman Srhlueter of the Sacramento Senators threw to second to head off an attempted steal and allowed the Seals winning run to score from third. Of course, if Schlueter had nabbed the runner for the third out the Gaspars would have had nothing to say. Or, what would they have said if Schlueter hadn't made the throw and the next batter had singled, scoring a couple of tallies? In this case Schlueter is more to be pitied than blamed.

The poor man hadn't been told that the second guess is always the best. Friday's fish frirsssee: Gay Paula, a 3-year-old filly sired near Stockton by Dutch'' Hill's prize stallion. Gay World, paid $60.30 to win an allowance race against older horses at Hollywood Park last Wednesday Dutch" was so he gave his boss horse, an extra bowl of oats Ernie Simard has been named secretary-treasurer for the Stock-ton Comando football games and will be master-at-arms at the Baxter Stadium games when the 'Mandos play here. Line Coach Larry Siemering has been spending a great deal of time on Jim Watters, 18-year-old guard on the College of the Pacific squad Larry sees good possibilities in the youthful 190-rounder who came to the Tigers from Stockton High this season.

7:48 oclock. By JOHN PERI Sports Editor Record The St. Marys Navy Preflights feel fairly certain that they will whack the pants off the College of the Pacific gridders in Baxter Bowl tonight, but Coach Bemie Matlerson, one of the best, is taking no chances. Bemie is bringing his whole gang from Moraga four professional players, plenty of reserves, a 40-man marching drill team and the Preflight Navy Band just In case Grand Old Map Amos Alonzo Stagg should decide to attempt one of those footbsll upsets for which he is justly celebrated. An upset victory for COP doea not seem to be in the cards this year but the Preflighta will have to earn thfir touchdowns because the Tigers are determined to make a game out of it ERHMONT ET AL.

The presence of Len Echmont and Parker Hall, two of the greatest halfbacks in football, as members of the Preflight ensemble complicates Pacific's problem somewhat, but it does not make it entirely hopeless. Eshmont and Mall will require some help to reach their intended destinations. Echmont hss had experience with Fordham, the New York Giants, Del Monte Preflight and now the Airdevils Parker Hall started at Mississippi State and played with the Cleveland Rams and the Del Monte Preflights. Other proa on the Navy team are John Woudenberg, 220-pound tackle from Denver and the Pittsburgh Steeiers; Bob Tichensl, end, from San Jose State and the Washington Redskins. PACIFIC IS SHORT Cadet Bill Bondurant from Fowler; who played bn the College of the Pacific varsity last fall, is the starting right half for the Airdevils tonight Two other 1944 Tigers are also on the Navy's list, namely Dave Honegger and Lydon Mot horn.

Shortage of manpower Is Pacific's principal ailment The depleted backfield forces of the Ben-gals were further reduced last evening when Dorn Orsini, counted on to play at left half, left for home to get medical attention for an ear ailment. This means that Malcolm Smith will have to play most of the game for the Stagg-men in this important position. FIFTH FOR COP The absence of Jean Ridley, rugged tackle, will also give Line Coach Larry Siemering something to worry over. Jim Lyons, 1941 veteran, will be shifted to Ridley's position, giving Jim Fenston of Fresno a starting berth at guard. Tonight's engagement will be Pacific's fifth successive home game.

In previous encounters they dropped one-touchdown decisions to the Stockton Commandos and Camp Beale, tied the Santa Barbara Marines and lost by two touchdrowns to Fresno State. For the Preflights this will be the opening game of the season. The Tiger's three remaining scheduled games are away from home. Commando Coach Has By RUSS NEWLANb PORTLAND, Sept. 28 fAPl Some of the younger college football coaches, who may he experiencing a shortage of playing talent, probably would like to copy the method employed by Capt.

Harry Hough of the Army Air Force. Until recently Capt. Hough was head coach of the Stockton AAB eleven. His assistant was Lt. Gordon Rice.

Transfers thinned the backfield talen at the base. Then Capt. Hough had a bright Idea. He named his assistant, Lt. Rice, to the head coaching job.

Then Capt, Hough assigned Capt. Hough to the squad. Now he is Trojans Engage Shaw's Bears By MILTON O. DUNLAP SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 28 (INS) Football's bill of fare looks mighty appetizing up and down the Pacific Coast this weekend, with the main dish being the Califoraia-University of Southern California skirmish at Berkeley Saturday. That game alone will draw upwards of 60,000, and may even parallel record-breaking attendance of nearly 80,000 last week when California and St.

Mary'i opened the Northern California season. Thus far the rollicking Trojans are at least 10 to 7 favorites, but that didn't make Jeff Cravath, Trojan boss, happy. Jeff is a natural born worrier, and he fears that Buck Shaw, the new Golden Bear mentor, has cooked up a new series of grid tricks with which to battle the Trojans. NEW SHAW PLAYS There have been mysterious reports emanating from Strawberry Canyon that Shaw really had designed some new plays, added more speed to his team, and has built up a much stronger defense than he could show against the Gaels. Another Pacific Coast Conference game will be played at Seattle when Washington, which did not field a club last year, and Oregon open the season there.

The Huskies, although untried after a year's lay off, were given the edge. Oregon State also will open up tomorrow at Moscow, where they will take on the Idaho Bulldogs, It appears to be anybody's game. One of the best games of the week-end will be played in San Francisco's Kezar Stadium when the powerful El Toro Marines meet up with the equally powerful Fleet City Bluejackets. TARS AND MARINES This game should draw around 40,000, but it would surprise no one to see another 10,000 pile Into the joint by the time the whistle blows. The Fleet, by virtue of its 7 to 0 victory over the 2d Air Force last week, ruled fgvorite, but it will be a toughie in anybody's department.

Dick Hanley, the Marines coach, has got a whizzeroo of a team this year, and his roster includes such stars as "Wee Willie" Wilkin, 268 pounds of tackle from the Wash' ington Paul Govemalli of Columbia, Hugh Gallarneau, former Stanford plunger; Bob Dove of Notre Dame, and Elroy Hirarh of Wisconsin, and a host of others.

The win-, iter's share in the Derby some where between $35,000 and $42,500 would boost the Louis B. Mayer racers total near or over Zev'i $313,639, currently the 10th place figure.

Busher has won eight of 11 starts this year, finished second twice and third once. Top money gleaner of all time is Whirlaway, with $561,161 spread over 60 starts. Busher has reaped her present harvest in 18 COME TO WEBER INN Weber and American Now Operated Walter Schulz Formerly at Banta Junction Kitchen Operated by NORA PICKARD VETERANS In or Near Neighborhood i Wow! this state of affairs yesterday much sooner than expected by beating Cincinnati twice, a few hours before the discouraged St Louis Cardinals lost their night game to Pittsburgh.

As a result of these whirlwind developments, the situation of the Bruini now is more favorable than that of the Bengali. The Cubs are three full games ahead of the and each club has three more games to play. RAIN WILL HELP One Chicago victory, dr one St Louis defeat, will clinch the National League pennant for the Cubs. If wither contender should have a game rained out, the Cubs still will win the flag. In the American League, however, Detroit must win one of its two remaining games with the St.

Louis Browns to avert a play-off Monday with the Washington Senators, who long since have finished their season. However, neither pennant can be lashed to the mast before Saturday at the earliest, because all three pennant contenders are idle today. Preacher Roe held the Cardinals to three hits last night in beating them 5 to The Bucs won the game in the very first inning when they knocked Southpaw George Dockins out of the box and scored three runs. Hits by Handley, O'Brien and Barrett featured the rally. REDft ARE COUSINS The almost uncanny ability of the Cubs to beat Cincinnati this year again served them in good stead as they took two from the Reds by scores of 3 to 1 and 7 to 4.

By winning 21 out of 22 from the Rhinelanders this season, they tied a major league record. And incidentally they set a new mark for both circuits by sweeping 19 double-headers this year. In the opener, Hank Wyse racked up his 22d win of the year in holding the Reds to three hits and winning a tough one from Big Ed Heusser, who allowed only five bingles himself. A two-run homer by Peanuts Lnwrey provided the winning tallies. Lowrey also smacked a triple and a single in the nightcap.

Big Paul Derringer went the route for Chicago. Fresno Staters Play Minter FRESNO, Sept. 28 (AP) With tie with California Poly and a victory over College of the Pacific to their credit this season, the Fresno State College football team will go out after another football win at the expense of the Minter Field Fliers of Bakersfield in Fresno Saturday night. Coach Pix Pierson plana to start the same line-up against Minter that opened against COP last week. Jack Kelly, fast Negro left halfback, will lead the formation attack of the Fresnans.
