Graham Gets First
Homer Since Being
Hit by Bean Ball
(By the Aaaoclatad Preaa)
It wat a long time between
home runs, but big Jack Graham
finally bagged No. 47.
The San Diego clouter lammed
one out of the park with two men
aboard last night lor his first
roundtripper since his unfortu
nate beaning July 25. The Padres
jost, nowever, 1110, to Hollywood.
The blow left Graham 13 be
hind Tony Lazzeri's coast league
record with just ZU games remaining.
His closest rival, Nlrk Ettcn of
Oakland, poled bis 37th as the
Oaks burled Sacramento under a
14-4 avalanche.
League-leading San Francisco
maintained a li game margin
over the Oaks as Lefty Al Lien
twirled a five-hit shutout victory
over Seattle, 2-0.
Lien pitched perhaps his best
game of the season in chalking
up his 12th win against seven de
feats. The Seals clinched the is
sue by scoring both runs off
Herm Besse in the first inning,
with Dino Restelli'a double the
payoff.
Oakland's 36 hit attack was
paced by three apiece by Etten
and Shortstop Merrill Combs.
Les Webber was the Oak winner,
although Earl Jones protected the
Oaks' lead with four final hitless
Innings. Edgar Smith, first of
jour solon hurlers, was the loser.
The Hollywood-San Diego slug-
fest was decided by Gus Zernlal's
ninth inning single with bags
loaded, breaking a 10-10 tie.
Portland and Los Angeles
failed to arrive at Portland In
time tor their contest.

Pirates Crowd
Braves in Race
For League Flag
(By The Aaaoclatad Praaal
Pennant fever Is spreading
I oughout Pittsburgh today for
the first time since 1938.
Not since the Pirates blew the
pennant to the Chicago Cubs 10
years ago In the last week of the
season has a Pirate entry been
a strong contender for the flag
at this stage of the race.
The (lag hungry Pirates are In
second place today, four games
behind the league-leading Boston
Braves.
Manager Billy Meyer's hustling
crew wrested the runner-up slot
from the Brooklyn Dodgers last
night, beating the floundering St.
Louis Cardinals. 6-2. The Dodg
ers, who wpre idle, trail the Pi
rates by .0007 points.
The venerable Fritz Ostermuel
ler, one time property of both
Brooklyn and St. Louis, stopped
the Cardinals on seven hits last
night as the Pirates made it three
In a row over the Cardinals.
Musial, In the midst of his
worst batting slump of the sea
son, lined Into a triple play in the
first inning. Al Schoendienst
walked and Marty Marion singled
to start the game.
Musial who failed to hit In
eight trips against the Pirates on
Labor Day, then lined to Short
stop Stan Rojek. Rojek stepped
on second to double Schoendienst
and fired to Johnny Hoop at first
In time to triple Marion. The
three-play killing was the second
oi tne season lor tne urates.
The loss cut the Cards' fourth
place margin over the New York
Ciants to a half game. The
Giants took both ends of a double
header from the Phils In Phila
delphia, 6-1 and 8-6, the latter In
11 innings.
Sid Gordon sparked the Giants
to both triumphs. The slugging
third sacker cracked two doubles
and drove In three runs In the
first game and broke up the sec
ond with his 30th homer scoring
a mate ahead in the 11th inning.
Gordon also sent the game into
overtime, singling home clint
Hartung with the tying run In
the ninth inning.
The setbacks dumped the Phils
from sixth to last place. The Idle
Chicago Cubs took over sixth and
the Cincinnati Reds moved from
eighth to seventh, two points
ahead of the Phils.
No games were played In the
American league which resumes
activity today.
Nevada U. Boasts
Of 1948 Grid Team
RENO, Nev., Sept. 8 VP
Practically everybody In this fast
moving mountain metropolis Is
talking football. The sell styled
Biggest Little City In the World'
apparently Is coming up with. Its
best University of Nevada team
in history.
Scholarly Joe Sheeketskl, the
wartime FBI man, Is confident
he Is coaching a winning club
this season. His optomism Is In
contrast with last year, his first
here. Inasmuch as Nevada won
nine of its eleven scheduled
games In VM7. a solid record In
any league, the current outlook
of the head man must be con
sidered slgnifcant.
Nevada has a veteran, If small
squad, which Includes 32 letter
men. Only 37 players are suited
up. They are not hand picked,
merely the complete turnout.
Sheeketskl. who nlaved half-
hack on the 1931-32 Notre Dame
teams, gained his coaching ex
perience at Holy Cross, Iowa and
his alma mater. He is a T-forma-tlon
teacher and because of this
particular system. Nevada's grid
iron fortunes may rise or fail on
the week-to-weeK physical condi
tion of one nlaver.
The player is Stan Heath of
Menominee, Wis., who transfer
red from the I'nivprsity of Wis
consin two vears ago.
Heath, 6. feet 2 inches tall and
1!H) pounds, runs the works on of
fense. He is practically a one-man
ball club. His replacement, Alva
Tabor, leaves a considerable gap.
His coach compares Heath to
Notre Dame's last great quarter
back. John Lujack.
"He's a typical pro league
passer, throws a rifle pass and
Is cool under fire," is the way
Sheeketski describes Heath, '"and
he Is one of the best on defense
It is my belief that Heath will be
one of the finest quarterbacks
In the country this season."

Early Practict Givei Hope
For Strong Football Team
The Roseburg Indians are be
ginning to function as a unit ac
cording to latest word received
from Cece Sherwood, head coach
at the Senior High School. Run
ning plays Involving a five and
six man line are being stressed at
this time with scrimmage form
ing the backbone of all practice
sessions from now until the first
game with Medford.
Heavy drills In fundamentals
will not be neglected in the aft
ernoon practice schedule. Med
ford is still a question mark,
Sherwood said, due to the fact
they have a new coach from Mt
Angel. The Indian B squad Is be
ing groomed to furnish reserves
if the occasion warrants.
Asked If any of the players
stood out as potential stars, the
senior high school mentor said it
was too early to predict possible
standouts at this time.
Hod Turner's Junior High
gridders picked up their uniforms
today, and they will start practice
sessions Immediately, Sherwood
said.
Silvera and Johnson
To be Lost by Beavers
NEW YORK, Sept. 8. .P)
Charley Silvera, catcher, and Don
Johnson, pitcher, were called up
yesterday from the Portland
Beavers by the New York
Yankees.
George Weiss, Yankee general
manager, said the dates the men
report to Yankee Manager Bucky
Harris would depend on how
their clubs fare In pennant playoffs.
Boxing Promoters
Give Promise Of
Good Fight Card
Boxing fans will have a special
treat In store for them the last
week in September If Rudy
Schlotthauer, local boxing pro
moter, has anything to say about
It and every indication seems
to point to .he fact that he has.
Schlotthauer has tentatively
signed up a stable of leather
pushers capable of giving the
crowd just what it wants. Sonny
Orrock, Spokane heavyweight,
will go 10 rounds with Leo Tal
bot of Portland in the main event.
The semi-final will 'eature a Rose
burg light-heavyweight, Kenny
Kaas. Kaas was the 1945 golden
gloves champion of Oregon. He
has fought 15 professional fights,
'v.nnlng 10, losing four and break
ing even on one. He fought the
champion of the Marianas twice,
and said that he will fight any
light-heavyweight in the country,
if given the opportunity. His op
ponent as yet, is unnamed.
Talbot and Orrock fought to a
10-round draw In Coos Bay three
months ago and are anxious to
settle which Is the better of the
two.
Schlotthauer said Bucky O'Con
ner, another Roseburg fighter
who recently won his 20th pro
fessional fight in Spokane by a
second-round knockout, may fight
ir a six-round special, while Jack
Parrott, also a Roseburg man,
may fight in a rour-round curtain
raiser.

Rat Lottery ts New Plan
To Spur Jap Pest Hunt
NAGASAKI CP) Rats have
been running roughshod over
Nagasaki, but now the citizens
are running after the rats.

were turned loose.
Each collared rat will be worth
1,000 yen to its captor.
To make sure the metal collar
is not the only quarry the city
officials offered a lottery ticket
for each uncollared rat. The lot
tery prize is 500 yen.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 8 (JPl
Anson L. Johnson of Miami
Springs, Fla., pinched himself to
day and looked for a $16,500
check to prove that he had won
the Thompson Trophy, world
classic of closed course air rac
ing. Johnson's surprise was shared
by 80,000 persons at the final
day -of the National Air Races.
The National Air Lines pilot
didn't know until he was on the
ground that he had won.
His average speed was 383.787
miles an hour, computed from an
elapsed time of 46 minutes 54
seconds for the 300-mile run
around the 15-mile rectangular
course. It was more than 12 miles
an hour below the record speed
set a year ago.
The only other finishers were
two old timers, Bruce E. Ray-,

ANOTHER LINK in the national program to
assure a permanent timber supply for Amer

Farm, tributary to Springfield, Oregon. It is
one of several such tree farms, operated by
Weyerhaeuser to supply its manufacturing
plants with raw materials on a permanent
basis.
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company initiated
and has long supported the tree farm pro

In tree farming the mature timber is har
vested by methods which assure a new crop
of young trees. Adequate fire detection and
fire fighting crews and equipment are main
tained to protect the growing crop.
Primary objective of the Calapooya tret?
farm is to provide a never-ending timber sup
ply for this company's integrated manufac
turing center at Springfield. Plant facilities
will consist of a sawmill, dry kilns, a planing
mill, a sulphate pulp mill and container board
plant and related logging operations. These
mills will comprise one of the community's
major industries, with a year-around payroll
of about 600 workers.
