ANGLE
KY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Innocent Bystanders
FIRST TO FEEL the impact of major league baseball
on the West Coast will be pro football—the Can Francisco
Forty-Niners and Los Angeles Rams. Last week you
needed a private eye to discover that the Forty-Niners
woold play the Redskins on Sunday after Horace Btone
ham’s announcement that the Giants'were going West.
Sunday’s attendance of 24,781 at Kezar Stadium was a
far cry from the 51,201 who saw the two teams battle for
the first time in 1950, but still it was good for a game that
didn’t count in the league standings.
Until now, pro football and horse racing have been
the only sports on the Coast with a major league label.
Now they have to-move over and perhaps play second
fiddle to the diamond sport.
Tony Morabito’s feud with San Francisco newspapers
hasn’t helped the Forty-Niners’ situation. The dour little
clubowner’s childish tactics of barring certain members
of the press from the team)* dressing room, forbidding
Coach Frankie Albert to talk to them, etc., has added
fuel to the lire. More important, Tony hasn’t come up
with a championship in either the All-America Confer
ence or National Football League. The Forty-Niners never
l»ve finished higher than- second..
'** * *
THE BASEBALL GIANTS won’t hurt either the Forty-
Niners or Rams during the/regular football season. Trou
ble is that Tony and the Rams, like most other owners,
count on the preseason take to help smooth the financial
rough spots. The exhibitions frequently mean the dif
ference between losing money and breaking even.
Lou Spadla, general manager of the Forty-Niners, ac
knowledges that his club could be in trouble if the Giants
put a strong contender on the field or if the pennant race
is close in September.
“But you’ve got to have a winner,” Lou said, mean
ing in any sport, “to bring ’em out. A new stadium, good
roads and plenty of parking won’t help unless the fans
have something to cheer about.”
Ute novelty of big league baseball undoubtedly will
give both Stoneham and the Brooklyn Dodgers—if they
mj&e their anticipated move to Los Angeles—a running
financial start on the West Coast. But some say Ban
Francisco, at least, won’t go hog wild over baseball as
Milwaukee did when the Braves moved in. The roller
coaster city has too many other attractions for baseball
to claim the city’s undivided attention. Folks out there
have a feeling that it will be only a few years before the
West Coast takes the sports play away from the East with
championship fights, basketball and what have you.
** * *
IN LOS ANGELES, the Rams’ hold on a sports-minded
multitude has been unchallenged since the Dons and the
All-America Conference folded seven years ago. They’ve
scheduled preseason games without fear of competition
from the two Pacific Coast League baseball teams in the
neighborhood or ffom any other 'sport. But it will be
different with the Dodgers in town.
“They’ll have to take a look at the calendar before
scheduling preseason games,” says George Marshall, Red
skins owner who is familiar with the problem. “The base
ball teams may not get out of their way as the other fel
lows have done. It couid affect our game in Los Angeles.”
That preseason games are important revenue raisers
for the Rsms is obvious. They had some 48,060 paid
against the Giants last week and the Rams-Redskins
game has netted over $1 million for the Los Angeles Times
Charities. The newspaper, of course, goes all out in pro
moting the game.
** * *
LOS ANGELES MAY have the edge on San Francisco
for baseball, weatherwise. The Giants will encounter cold,
foggy nights in the Bay City, especially in April and May,
and may be forced to play in the afternoon. Los Angeles
weather is ideal for night ball.
It Isn’t easy to say how the Rams will fare at the box
office if forced to share public Interest and the sports
columns with the Dodgers As the big show in town they’ve
had reams of publicity, good and bad, with colmnists
falling over themselves to report on some facet of the
operation. • , v
A* one football observer noted, it may be good to have
the Dodgers around. They might take a little pressure
off the football team when things go wrong for Coach
Sid Gillman’s men.
What will happen if both teams are losers will be
interesting to watch.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 27
(Special).—Five hundred and
eight miles southwest of the
American League's first-place
battle between the Yankees
and the White Sox in Chicago,
this city is girding for another
"crucial” series.
This is one pitting the
Yankees' little cousins, the

he has been 2-2 this season and

Lemon Healthy Again
Just in time. Manager Cookie
Lavagetto got the word yester
day from Trainer George Lentz
and Jim Lemon that the latter
is ready to return to his old
rightfleld spot in 100 per cent
physical condition.
Big Jim was forced to the
bench on August 11 when hej
pulled a back muscle in Boston
He tried to pinch-hit on August
20 against the White Sox but
failed as did all of his mates
in the no-hit game) pitched by
Bob Keegan. Lemon actually
started games on August 21 and
23 but obviously wasn't swing
ing with his usual vigor. A dis
tance hitter with power to left
center. Jim was poking the ball
toward right and had to be
rested some more.
With Lemon returning to
; right tonight. Lavagetto hasn't
made up his mind as to the
disposition of Art Schult, who
filled in well at times in Jim's
| absence. Schult might be
shifted to left, with Roy Sievers
'going to first base. The alter
native would be the benching
of Schult, with Sievers staying
in left and Pete Runnels play
ing first.
Once-Loud Bat Missed
While they have won 14 and
lost 15 since Lemon's injury—
a fast pace for them in this
slow season—the Senators have
: nissed Jim's once-loud bat. The
29-year-old slugger hasn't hit
a homer since July 2!Tand the
Senators have had only two
runs batted in from him dur
ing that span.
Despite that long drought,
the ,286-hitting Lemon is still
second on the club only to
Sievers' 33 homers and 89 runs
1 oatted in. Jim has 15 homers
and 54 RBI. A year ago Jim
led the club in with 96 runs
batted in to Sievers' 95. Andj
Sievers had only two more !
homers, 29 to 27.
A return to form by Lemon
could give the Senators one of
baseball's most formidable 1-2
Dunches.
Five of Lemon’s 15 hamers
this season have been agairst|

Kucks Wasted
In Vain Effort
To Beat Lary
By the AuoeMtad Prut
Maybe there is going to ba
a stretch raee in the American
League after all. The Yankees
look bad and Manager Casey
Btengel looks nervous.
Meed by the three-game
showdown with the White Sox.
which opens tonight in Comls
key Park, Casey played a hunch
and came off second best in
Detroit yesterday. The Tigers
cracked the Yankees. 5-2, and
whittled their lead to 3%
games. It was New York’s fifth
defeat in seven games.
This means the second-place
White Sox, who have won six
straight, will pull within three
percentage points of the cham
pions if they can sweep the
three-game set. That also
would leave the Yankees and
White Sox all even in the lost
column.
Only one other American
League game was scheduled
yesterday and as far as the
Athletics are concerned it
should have rained in Kansas
City. The Red Sox bopped
them 16-0.
Braves’ Margin Cat
In the National League the:
Braves slipped to a seven-gams
margin over idle St. Louis and
Brooklyn in a 4-3 defeat at
] Philadelphia. That gave the
Phils sole possession of fourth
'place as the Giants clubbed
Cincinnati to fifth in a 17-3
frolic that left them only three
games behind the Redlegs.
Stengel, with pitching wor
ries aplenty, started Tommy
Byrne against the Tigers. But
when the southpaw hit a batter,
walked another, gave up a home
run to Al Kallne and walked the
next man, Casey called it quits
and called in young Johnny
1 Kucks in the first inning.
Kucks did all right, giving
up two runs on six hits the rest
of the way, but it was too late.
After Frank Lary gave up
Mickey Mantle's 33d homer in
