SIX Tackling Practice On Week's Bill For Roseburg Indians Coach "Cece" Sherwood Is bearing down heavily with lack ling practice on the hill for the Roseburg Indians at Flnlay Field this week. "We found out where we were weak last Friday," Sherwood said, "and we'll try to work it out by the time the Coqullle bunch sets here." ' Sherwood listed lack of experi ence as one reason for a poor showinc In the opener last Fri day. Only four experienced play ers were In the lineup, and the newer men didn't show much ability In stopping the fast Tor nado outfit, according to the coich. The Senior High mentor warned that Coquille would be a tough squad to play. They have several veteran ball play ers on the team and their recent 32-0 victory over a rugged Ash land crew is a good indication of the kind of competition the In dians will be up against this weekend. Sherwood emphasized the team gained valuable exMrience in playing Medford. "I'd much rather lose to a good opponent than win from a poor one," the coach stated. "You don't learn anvthlng playing pushovers." Poor blocking by the Indians was given as a reason for not . getting at least one touchdown. "You'll have to admit, though, he said, "the Medford bunch were lust too fast for us." Monday's practice put Bob Sanders, Indian quarterback, on the sidelines. He received a sprained ankle, and it Is not known If he will appear In this week's lineup. The Roseburg coach empha sizes practice sessions would con tinue every day.

J., Sept. 21 Champion Tony Zale In a olid 2 to 3 favorite to thump Marcel Cerdan. the French chal lenger here tonight In an Attract tive middleweicht title hout. The flRht has all the marking of a thriller. Zale, a 34-year-old vet who used to sweat it out in the Gary, Ind., steel mills, flat tened Rocky Graziano In the third round to regain his cham pionship, at Newark three months ago. Cerdan, a willing trader with great stamina, is un beaten In four American starts. Expert opinion is divided. Zale's legs are the uncertain factor. Many think he will have to get Cerdan early or not at all. Most agree that It will he Cerdan if It goes the full 15 rounds. In this corner, It looks like Zale by a knockout In five rounds. Anton Raadik, an unher alded Estonian, had Marcel on the deck three times In the last round at Chicago and he has been hit freely in all four U. S. starts. So far, he hasn't been hit by Zale, who has knocked out 16 of 17 opponents.

He was cornered In his dress ing last night, after he had gone six snappy rounds of an exhibi tion bout wl.h Pat Comiskey of Paterson, N.J. Here's what the heavyweight champion of the world had to say: "Man Isn't that baseball race somethln'! "I've wired Larry Doby (Cleve land outfielderl for tickets to the Cleveland-Red Sox game Wednes day." Then, after a moment's thought: "Comiskey don't run away like some fellows I know Joe Wal cott and Billy Conn." Obviously Louis prefers some one who will stand up and slug. And in this Comiskey was his man. Comiskey could afford to be brave. Both boxers wore 16-ounce gloves. And no he pounded awav furiously, particularly in the fourth and sixth rounds. Yet the best Comiskey could do was to make the champ look like the champ. Using his left effec tively, Louis took five of the six rounds by the Associated Press score card. The first round was even.

While the league-leading Bos ton Red Sox and the third place New York Yankees are showing signs of faltering, manager Lou Boudreau's Indians are setting the hottest pace in the league. The Indians scored their sixth straight victory and the 13th in their last 15 starts last nighf in defeating the Philadelphia Ath letics, 6-3. The victory enabled the pennant-hungry tribe to stay a half game behind the Red Sox and a half game ahead of the Yanks. The Red Sox downed De troit, 7-2, and the Yanks stag gered to an 8-7 triumph over St. Louis. Boudreau's warriors will rest today before taking on the Red Sox in Cleveland tomorrow night In a game that will go a long way In deciding the flag. The Red Sox tangle with the Tigers again to day and a Detroit triumph would enable Cleveland to tie the Sox lor the lead. Gordon Stars at Bat Joe Gordon, who helped the Yanks win five pennants, sparked the Indians to victory last night He drove in three runs on his 29th homer, a double and single and figured in four of the five doublcplays pulled off by the tribe. The defeat virtually eliminated the Athletics from the pennant fight. The Yanks also were forced to come from behind to nip the Browns. Trailing 5-3 going into the sixth, the Yanks scored twice to tie the score.
