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.

Tony Za!e Favored
To Defeat Cerdan
By JACK HAND
JERSEY CITY, N. 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.

Joe Louis Easily
Bests Comiskey
In Slugging Duel
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 VP)
Right now, Joe Louis seerm more
interested In talking baseball
than anything else.
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.

Indians Keep At
Heels of Bosox In
Torrid Flag Race
Ry RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The fire wagon chase for the
American League pennant has
reached the win-or-else stage and
Cleveland has picked this oppor
tune moment to catch fire.
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. They moved
