Pep-Saddler
Bout Tonight
NEW YORK, Sept. 26— ■T'—It’s,
time for the four annual renewal of
the Sandy Saddler-Willie Pep series
for the featherweight title. Ring
time is 9:00 p.m. (EST) tonight at
the Polo Grounds.
Unless there is a tremendous last
minute ticket surge—and there was;
a year ago for chapter No. 3—the .
gate won't go over $75,000 and about j
15,000 fans. They drew S262.150 last |
September, with the help of a big
delegation from Pep’s home town of j
Hartford, Conn.
Home television and radio lose
again in this 15-round match that
will be seen only in 17 theaters in
13 cities. The theater TV and
movie rights were sold for $110,000
or more than the fight will draw.
Rain put the damper on yester
day's sales. In the event of a rain
out the fight will be held Thursday.
Saddler-Pep is a good example of
the classic slugger-boxer match.
Sandy, a lean, long-armed Negro,
has one of the best knockout aver
ages in boxing. In 138 fights, he’s
won 128 including 88 by knockouts.
The nimble-footed Pep is a fine
boxer with a flicking jab and an
ability to befuddle his opponent.

in the National League, leads the
circuit in total hits and is second
in stolen bases.
The award was made by Frank

at a ceremony preceding the game

Scrap Fish Cleared
From Interior Lake;
Trout io Be Planted
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 26—
!,f)-The first large scale attempt
to stock rainbow trout in an in
terior Alaska lake has been started
at Lost Lake, 50 miles south of Fair
banks.
The lake is now being cleared of
all scrap fish under the direction of
Clarence L. Anderson, territorial di
rector for fisheries. Next spring it
will be planted with thousands of
rainbow. It is the first of a large
number of lakes the department
hopes to clear and then restock.
(A program of poisoning "scrap”
fish in lakes and then restocking
them with trout has been carried
on extensively and successfully in
Washington state.)
Heavy demands of rapidly grow
ing cities and military bases are
blamed for the depletion of the;
Alaskan lakes.

2 Games
By the Associated Press
Is the miracle about to come to
pass?
Will the given-up-for-dead New
York Giants actually overhaul the
runaway Brooklyn Dodgers?
Has the “creeping terror” caught
the jittery Brooks in its clutches?
In short, are the Dodgers panic
stricken?
These are some of the questions
asked today by an astonished baser
ball world, dazed by yesterday's
sudden turn of events that left the
Dodgers reeling and rocking.
Manager Charlie Dressen and his
Brooklyn crew saw their once over
powering 131 ^ game bulge over the
Giants melt to a single game last
night when the relaxed Braves pum
melled them in a night-marish
floodlighted doubleheader, 6-3 and
14-2. At the same time the re
lentless Giants were polishing off
the Philadelphia Phils, 5-1, for the
34th triumph in their last 41 games.
Yanks Move Up
The big doings in the National
League pennant race far overshad
owed the American League scramble
that saw the front running New
York Yankees move a step nearer
the flag when both Cleveland and
the Boston Red Sox were beaten.
The Chicago White Sox shoved the
Indians three games behind the
Yanks with a 4-2 triumph while
Washington dropped the Red Sox
five and a half games off the pace
with a 2-0 victory.
The Dodgers were depressed, but
there was no hint of surrender
despite their double debacle.
“We’re still in front. That’s all
I know,” sai& Captain Pee Wee
Reese.
"We got all the bad baseball out
of our system," said Dressen.
How They Stand
The DodgerS still have five to
go, two in Boston and three In
Green Again Heads
AFL for 28th Year
By the Associated Tress
The American Federation of La -1
bor entered its 71st year today with
the same skipper at the helm. Pre
sident William Green was unani
mously re-elected to a 28th year
in office at the windup of the AFL
convention in San Francisco.
Delegates also voted to hold next
year's convention in New York
City.__
Philadelphia. The Giants have three
left, one in Philadelphia and two
in Boston. Any combination of four
Dodger wins and or Giant defeats
would clinch the flag for Brooklyn.
The Giants still face a herculean
task and manager Leo Durocher is
well aware of it. He knows his
charges cannot afford to lose an
other game. They are certain to
face Warren Spahn, ace Boston
lefthander, in one of them. Spahn
yesterday whipped the Dodgers for j
his 22nd victory.
The Braves decided each game;
early. They tallied six runs in the ,
first inning of the opener and scored .
another sixer in the second inning I
of the nightcap to put the Dodgers ,
on the defensive right from the i
start. |
Billy Pierce pitched a nine-hitter,
to register his fifth victory in six
starts against the Indians. j
Bob Porterfield handcuffed the,
Red Sox with two singles.
Games for Yanks
The Yankees, rained out of their j
scheduled game with the Philadel
phia Athletics, now need to win only !
two of their remaining six to clinch
the flag. They play the A’s today
and follow with five against the
Red Sox.
Ted Gray pitched the Detroit
Tigers to a 2-0 victory over the St.
Louis Browns. He fanned 10.
Catcher John Pramesa hit a grand
slam homer in the bottom half of
14th inning to give'Kenny Raffens- (
berger and the Cincinnati Reds a
7-3 victory over the St. Louis Card
inals. Ralph Kiner drove in two
runs and scored one to lead the
Pittsburgh Pirates to a C-3 victory
