ALONG Indians Return

Open Grid Season Not 1937Eieven Only Two Left

?WV WITH BOB WALTON Doug Smj-the, the fellow who gave football back to the Indians, unveils his 1938 model tonight. And probably you, as well aa I, re wondering with mingled emo tions how it will shape up. That championship eleven Smythe put out last fall won spot pretty close to the hearts of most of us dyed-in-the-wool grid fans. But teams like that don't come along every year. Maybe once very four or five years, if a coach is lucky, but twice in a row never! You can judge for yourself how good that 1937 outfit was when I tell you that every' missing member of that first team Is in football at another and bigger school. Bob Templeton's at Arizona San Diego claimed Bill Matthie Jim Sims and Bert Kleck . . . New Mexico has Hank Robinson, George Watts and Avery Monfort . . Bob Froude went to Navy . . . and Jack Haggard is a California gridder. Jimmy Verdieck and Owen Walker, of course, are still with the Indians. Man, what a team that was, though! That's why most of our emotions are running the grid gauntlet at the prospect of seeing its 1938 successor. ' At the risk of committing an act of lese majesty, I'll say I hope the 1938 team will be better. Actually, though I don't see how It can be. I Indians Heavier : Smythe will present tonight, against Glendale, a team heavier by a few pounds than his 1937 champions. His team will be peppy and spirited, providing it runs true to its practice form. The Indians of 1938 also will present a fine lot of ex-prep school stars. But you know and I know that even the best prep players could not hold a candle to those Indians of 1937. They were finished junior college players. There's plenty of potential ability, though, in this year's Indian eleven. Whether Coach Smythe can bring it all out in the first year is a question. Probably it will take two years before the boys whom you will see tonight reach their peak. t Not Quite Fair . A ! Maybe all this is sot quite fair , . . even if it is fact Looking at the 1938 team in the light of the 1937 champions is hard ly treating this year s crew fairly. It might be well to let the 1937 team live In our memories and judge this year's club strictly on its own merits. And as far as Its own merits are concerned, that is something we can tell more about after tonight Win or lose, though, grid fans of the valley are glad to welcome Coach Smythe's Indians back into action. It means football season has arrived even if the weather man is laughing up his sleeve and there is no more thrilling sport on the calendar than football. Slips in the Dark Red Ruffing isn't choosy when and where he wins 'em this year . . . The Yanks' big carrot top has knocked off every team in the league at least twice . . The grapevine says Slip Madigan threw the crying towel away at St. Mary's they're that good . . . They're singing the swan song already over Washington's pro champ Redskins . . . Riley Smith, who's only the quarterback and best blocker, is In a hospital with a bad knee and may be out for the season, Slingin' Sammy Baugh has a broken bone in his foot, and Cliff Battles quit to go Into coaching . . . S'prise, s'prise: Pete Fox of the Tigers gets the right field job on the cereal company's popularity team after all the hullaballoo for Mel Ott, too. Goodman Defeated In Amateur Tourney (Continued from Page Seventeen) nals by knocking Jimmy Fraser, Atlantic City, out in a 1hird round match, 2 up, and then eliminated the last of the foreign threats, Joseph Thompson of Hamilton. Ont, 1 up in 20 holes. It was Thompson's third straight extra-hole match. SELECT QUARTET Kingsley reached the select quartet with a 4 and 3 win over Wilfred Crosley of Dedhara, Mass., this morning, and a quarter finals 5 and 3 edge over Melvin "Chick" Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich. In the semi-finals, scheduled tomorrow, Abbott meets Chapman In the upper half of the draw, while Kingsley meets Tuincsa in the lower. ij(.iin(; FIXTURES ALL TYPES nd PRICES PAIGE ELECTRIC CO. 429 E 8treet

VENN BOTTS OUTDUELS BUD MAYER, 4-0 San Bernardino Gets But Three Hits Off Mound Star; Strikeouts Numerous By SID OLIN Huntington Beach Oilers captured the National night-

ball league championship

San Bernardino Tonys 4 to 0 before the largest crowd to attend a game at the Colton municipal diamond this

season. More than 2,000 fans saw Venn Botts, a former Pony pitcher, fan 19 of his former mates and allow three hits to assure the Oilers the pennant in the seventh and final game of the series. The Huntington Beach club won the game in the opening frame as the result of two scores but added a marker in the sixth and eighth frames as they bunched hits. YIELDS EIGHT HITS Mayer twirled good ball but yielded eight hits, the Oilers bunching two in each of the three in nings in which tney registered scores. Errors played an important part in at least two of the scores and while Mayer matched the strikeout mark held by Botts in whiffing 19 batters, his support weakened in the crucial periods of the game ard Botts was practically invincible when hits might have meant runs. Watson secured a single in the opening inning and Burgess started the second with a safety but remained at first base when Botts fanned the next three batters. The third and final hit secured by the Ponvs came in the sixth when Edie Weiser led off with a single but hen Stock fanned for the first out, Zickratch hit into the only double play of the game. DUEL IS FEATURE The mound duel was featured by the strikeout records of the two hurlers but it appeared that Botts was more effective in the late frames than the San Bernardino rookie who has been a sensational performer for the Ponys during the series. Botts, in allowing but three hits, practically handcuffed the Ponys the last three frames. He re tired the side in the seventh on strikes and duplicated the feat in the eighth. In the ninth Botts fanned two batters to run his string to eight when Zickratch grounded out to Manager Rodgers at shortstop for the final out of the game. Mayer retired the side on consecutive strikes in the second, third and seventh innings while Botts fanned three batters in the second after Burgess hit, then mowed down the opposition in the seventh and eighth. Mayer had fanned the first two batters up in the initial frame when Reboin singled through the infield. Glenn Kelley drove a hard single back of second base. Reboin WITH ITS ONCE OVER

Suverkrups, Ontario in Second Contest Tonight

TEAMS TANGLE AT PERRIS HILL Hotpointers Recovered Trouncing Suffered From m Opening Battle Fully recovered from an upset that shocked them down to their very boot tops, the Ontario Ilotpoints come to town tonight to re new relations with the San Bernardino Suverkrups in the Central league playoff. The game is scheduled at Perris Hill park and will see the heretofore under-rated Lumbermen going into battle with a 1-0 lead in the series. PLAY 'POSSUM The Suverkrup club, after playng 'possum In the second half of the league long enough to finish in the cellar, opened the title play off Wednesday night with a stirring 7-4 victory over Ontario, winners of the second-half crown. The Lumbermen won the first-half title. In all probability the Suverkrups' newly-acquired pitcher, Rudy Montgomery, from the Brea National league club, will start on the mound for the Lumbermen. Montgomery was acquired to give aid to Eddie Grubbs in the current series, but the latter didn't need help when he handcuffed the Hotpoints in the series opener. CALLOWAY PITCHES Cab Calloway, crack Hotpoint pitcher, will take the hill for Ontario, again. Ontario, unless it has worn itself out playing recently in Los Angeles, has the power to make the Lumbermen fear them. The Hotpointers undoubtedly were surprised In the first game. Now they know what they must face, the Hotpointers are likely to be a much grimmer and more determined club. The game starts at 8 p.m. First Grid Death of Season Reported CHICAGO, Sept. 15. What was believed the nation's first football fatality of 1938 was reported today. Ralph Cowgill, 17, end on the Highland Park high school football squad, died of a skull fracture several hours after he struck his head during a scrimmage yesterday. 7. f :v.

ndians Face Glendale J.C n Opener Tonight

(Continued from Page Seventeen) at fullback, Smythe has Bob Mineo, sparkplug of last year's Colton team, and a clever passer, and Harry Alexander from San Bernardino high. The halfback department Includes Leland Norton, Johnny Finan, Jack Smith and Dewar. In fact, Coach Smythe admitted ly has so much untried material that he may use tonight's game as something of a testing block. In other words, instead of putting all the emphasis on victory, Smythe will take the opportunity to substitute frequently and tryout his men. Glendale probably will start a lineup including Wenberg and Mel Becianti, ends; Hoehn and Kaesmeyer, tackles; Harmon and Whittle, guards; Winslow, center; Ted Moore, quarterback; Roguski and Bernard, halfbacks, and Matthews, fullback. NUMBERS UNAVAILABLE Numbers of players of the two teams were not available in advance. Glendale had new uniforms ordered but they did not arrive in lime, so they will wear plain white jerseys. The Indians' game uniforms are white, too, which means they will have to change to a blue Jersey. These jerseys had not arrived late yesterday so numbers were not available. San Bernardino's full schedule for the season follows: tonight, Glendale at San Bernardino; Sept. 23, San Bernardino vs. Pasadena at
