By DeMAR TEUSCIIER The boys brought their heavy artillery ino action in Timp, park yesterday afternoon, and after the firing was all over, ' the second half title hopes of the Brigham City Peaches were considerably dimmed and the Timps hadhung up a resouding 12-7 triumph. The win, coupled with Helper's 8-5 triumph over Magna, pat the pressure on - the Peaches hut good. The big boys from the north must win tonight from Pinney and then stop Provo next Wednesday to set possession of the flag. A pair of losses would drop the Peaches right out of the race, and one setback would tie up the second half racg and necessitate a piay-oit witn .Helper, The confident Peaches blew Prep Gridders Opei in Season On Thursday Thursday night, under the lights in the Brigham Young uni versitv stadium, two teams, as yet undetermined, will pry the lid off the 1947 Region Three prep grid race. For the first time in Utah foot ball history, all eight teams of a region will be on the field at one time ready to play, with their full rooting section in the stands ready to give instant support. But under the new system being be-ing inaugurated for the first time, only two of these teams will tangle in the first game, with the other six teams holding off until Friday to settle their differences. dif-ferences. The first games on the schedule will pit Pleasant Grove against Payson; Lincoln Lin-coln against Spanish Fork; Springville against American Eork and BY High against Lehi. One of these games will be drawn from the hat Thursday night, and with the entire region to watch, the game will be played then and there, marking the official of-ficial opening of the prep season, with all the formalities. The rest of the games will be played Fri day, according to schedule. No ' matter which teams clash In the first game, fans are assured of a pretty good game, since most of the teams look to be fairly evenly matched in strength. Several of the teams played last week, but no line was gained on the strength of Springville, Payson or Pleasant Grove, while the other five all performed about according to schedule. The tightest game of the open lng round should be the Lincoln Spanish Fork clash. Lincoln, two time winner of the region crown, won over Murray 7-0 while the Dons were- triumphing 13-0 over Wasatch Academy last week. Lehi, who, looked very good last week in taking apart North San-Pete San-Pete to the tune of 40-0, gets what might be a breather against Y high, who lost to Jordan's B squad, 13-0. This might -be a surprise, however. Springville and American Fork might be regarded as strictly a toss-up. Both are rebuilding, but wniie American f ork lost to Park City 7-6 last week, little is known of the Red Devils. Despite all reports of Coach Don Fuller to the effect that he has nothing at all at Payson this year, consistent rumors leak out to the effect the Lions might be powerful this year.

But the Timps had other ideas. and punctuated their resentment with timely blows that counted for runs almost every time, and even clouted one homer of their own. Alva Jensen's four-master with two men on. jThe Peaches opened with a run in the first, then settled back to enjoy the game. Their enjoyment was short-lived as the Timps matched their tally in the first, and when Brigham Brig-ham added two mere in the third, the Timps matched them too. Bob Story slammed out Peaches homer number two in the fourth With none on and Brigham was ahead again. At this point the Timps rebelled and the entire complexion of the game took an immediate change. Rasmuson and Wankier singled in succession and Bird drew his third straight walk. With one out. LaVar Kump went in to pinch-hit pinch-hit for Glen Berge who had been hit by a pitched ball in the first inning and was feeling the effects ef-fects of the blow. f Kump lofted a Ipng fly to right, and Rasmuson rafed home. Alva Jensen then cleared the bags with his home run, and Brigham was never in the ball game after that. They got one in the eighth on Owens homer and added two iniall the way and giving seven hits the ninth, but a five run Provo outburst in the eighth had ef fectively lengthened the Timp lead and the Peach effort was in vain. Brigham slammed three straight singles in the sixth and throw from right field by Ras- muson that nipped Evans coming into third. Evans had hit the first single and was trying to reach third on the second of the series when Rasmuson's great throw cut him down.

University Ave, Yanks Heed One More Win To Clinch Loop Flag By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports writer NEW YORK. Sept. 15 (u.R The ho-hum American league pennant race was just about over todav with the New York Yankees one game away 'irorn cuncning their 15th championship, while in the noisy National league the Brooklyn Dodgers were seven games ' ahead and only seven games away. This could easily be "C" day clinching day for the Yankees, who yesterday assured them selves of at least a draw for the flag by beating the last-place St Louis Browns, 6 to 4. One more Yank victory they are playing the Browns today or one more Red Sox defeat they are playing the White Sox in a double' header will wrap up the pen nant. The Red Sox dropped to third place yesterday when their twin bill against Chicaeo was rained out after seven innings of the! first game with tne score tied 1-1. Detroit won a doubleheader to take second, but the Tigers, with 77 wins and 12 games to go, cannot match the Yanks' 90 wins while the Sox, with 75 wins and 15 more games, still have a mathematical chance to tie Tommy Henf Ic h's 16th homer with two men on and Johnny Lindell's 10th with the bases empty were the Yanks' big wallops in yesterday's yester-day's win, while Lefty Joe Page turned in a top-notch relief job to save the victory for Vic Raschi. The Dodgers picked up a game and-a-half yesterday by taking a doubleheader from Cincinnati, 13 to 2 and 6 to 3, while the St. Louis Cards took a 9 to 1 beating beat-ing from the high-powered New York Giants. Lefty Joe Hatten was the winning pitcher for Brooklyn in both games, going to take the first and permitting only one hit in five-and-one- third innings of relief in the nightcap.

For yesterday on the storied center court in the stadium ot champions Big Jake etched his name indelibly on the roll of all-time all-time greats. Frankie Parker, the one-time, Golden Boy with the infallible backhand, almost upset the apple cart. Snubbed when they picked the Davis Cup team, Parker strode out in his anonymity- and for two sets threatened . to make a chump out of the champ. But he and the saucer-eyed spectators specta-tors reckoned without the kid irorn caiuornia. for two sets that hundred grand guarantee for Kramer had looked like a plugged nickel. Faultless Frankie, twice champion when Kramer was wearing Coast Guard blues, was sending up a change of pace against which Big Jake was helpless. The hard ones he hammered into the next county and the soft ones landed in the net as Parker held service through those two sets for a ridiculously easy 6-4, 6-2 lead. They had almost counted Big Jake out by then. But that's where the roof fell in on Mister Parker. Kramer changed suddenly from a stumbling novice to a raging perfectionist.

Sept. 15 U.R) The proposed expansion of the Pioneer baseball league from six to eight teams got an airing here today at a meeting of the Class "C" league's directors. On the line were applications applica-tions of Great Falls, Mont., and Provo, Utah and other Idaho, Montana and Utah cities have indicated an interest in-terest in joining the circuit. League President J. P. Halli- well said "sentiment seems to favor expansion but the problem will be to expand without greatly increasing transportation costs. He said the league directors ap peared to favor adding Great Falls and another Montana team or leaving Montana out altogether. alto-gether. The Provo group, repre sented by E. Reed Collins, has turned in its $2,500 application fee. Great Falls was represented latjjie meeting by Dr. Pat Logan. KButte, Mont., has made no move to seek membership, but Logan was trying to get that city interested. in-terested. Nampa, Idaho and Murray, Utah have indicated an interest in joining. But Halliwell said Murray is out because it is too close to Salt Lake City. He said no franchise may be granted to a city within 10 miles of the corporate cor-porate limits of a league member. Halliwell said these advantages would accrue from an eight-team league: Fans would be given a chance to see more teams in action. It would permit teams to play as many as three series on the road at one time, thus cutting mileage. Fans would not see a particular visiting team so often. Directors meeting today' are Eddie Mulligan of Salt Lake City, John Sarlo of Ogden, Tom Gordon of Pocatello, Lou Garland of Idaho Falls, Maury Doerr of Twin Falls and Hadyn Walker of Boise.

While preliminary plans had been laid for start of a best two-of-three series between Sunday's winner, and American Fork, announced an-nounced winner of the second half, all this seemed off Monday morning, and plans were moved ahead for a Wednesday game, also against Payson. It seems that a game formerly reported as forfeited for-feited by Payson to American Fork, due to wet grounds, will now be played. Spanish Fork, a half-game behind American Fork, Mgr. David Greenwood, American Fork skipper, has announced the game time at 5 p. m. Sunday's game, in which Amer ican Fork was favored by almost alt but the most ardent Lion followers, fol-lowers, saw the Cavemen take a two-run lead in the fourth. Pay- son came back with one in the fifth, and got another in the sixth. when with two out, and runners on first and third, Vic Elliott heaved the ball into center field attempting to break up a double steal. In the sixth Blaine Fierce developed de-veloped a streak of wildness, and walked the two first men to face him, Ralph Hillman and. Open-shaw, Open-shaw, who were hitless the entire game. They both advanced on Lant's sacrifice, followed by Woodbury's single, his only hit of the day. Hudson's roller to Holm-stead Holm-stead went through the latter, and Openshaw scored on Amos' infield in-field out. To clear the atmosphere, and bases, Davis homered, and Ford took over Pierce's chores. Openshaw pitched a masterful game, yielding but five hits, all singles.

After the drill, Kimball introduced intro-duced his squad to the members of the booster organization, and also introduced the members of his coaching staff to those still unacquainted with them.
