' ed shoulder during scrimmage at
' Finlay field yesterday.
Coach Cece Sherwood revealed
; that-Dnle Bonebrake, star letter-'-1.
ma .halfback of last year's foot-
t.baU squad, landed on his shoulder
while being tackled during scrim
mage. An x-ray examination may
reveal a broken bone, Sherwood
said.
' Bonebrake Is on of the few
lettermen back from last vear,
around which group of men Sher
wood planned to build a new
team. With Bonebrake out of the
kame for some time to come,
Sherwood If forced to start anew
in nuuuing an eueciive ouensive

Leading Ground Gainer
Last year Bonebrake was one
of Roseburg's leading' ground
gainers. He figured prominently

Lloyd St umbo and Vic Sanders,

Jayvee ranks, are likely pros-

snerwooa may. tnrow in Jerry
Sconce, BUI Palmer or Bill Van
. Horn; who currently are battling
for right half positions.
Practice Tuesday included work
on timing of plays. Also the ful
fillment of blocking assignments
was stressed oy the coach.
Sherwood voiced his' disappoint
ment In the lack of anticipated
. reinforcements to the football
V-anuad, expected to be on hand
after school started yesterday.
Only four new candidates signed
up. The roster includes about
45 persons to date. Sherwood
expected to have at least 65 can
didates to draw from this season.
Talent Lacking
' Main stumbling block Is the
lack of talent expected from last
year's Papoose team. Several
likely prospects failed to put in
an appearance so far.
Sherwood said the candidates
on hand are beginning to show
considerable football ''satrvy," but
the team as whole Is still weak
on tackling. Saturday's .scrim
mage showed the team to be es
pecially bad in this department
and from here on out, much of
the drill will be aimed at per
iling this defensive tactic.
; Coaches Norm West and Ray
Brown are working alongside
Sherwood with the varsity can
didates, while coaches Frank Pur

Yanks Facing
Crucial Test
Against Sox ,
New York Team Only
Game And Half Ahead
As Big Series Opens
By RALPH RODEN
(By the Associated Press)
The New York Yankees, lead
ing the American league since
tne opening gun, lace their se
verest test of the season tonight
when they open a vital three
game series with the challenging
liosion Red Sox at Yankee sta
dium. Casey Stengel's crippled Yanks
lead the sizzling Sox by a came
and a half and a Boston sweep
would dump tne Yanks into sec
ond place.
Stengel has selected Allie Rey
nolds (14-4) to face tills Kinder
(18-51 before an estimated 7j,
000 plus crowd. Lefiy id Lopat
is the probable Yankee pitcher
lor the second encounter and Vic
Raschi Tommy Byrne for the
third. The Sox are expected to
counter with Jack Kramer and
21-game winner Mel Parnell.
Oimag To Return
The return to action of Joe Di
maggio and possibly Catchei
Yogi berra greatly enhances the
Yankee chances. Dimaggio bow
ed out of the second game In the
Labor day doubleheader in Phila
delphia because of leg cramps
but the jolted reported the ail
ment has disaeaied.
Berra, out with a fractured left
thumb since Aug. 7, participated
in a "epper game" yesterday.
He reported the digit "felt swvll
and I guess I'll play." The Yogi's
big bat will receive a royal w ;1
cume. While the Yanks and Red Sox
go at each other the third place
Cleveland Indians and fourtn
place Detroit Tigers will be bat
tling. The Tigers entertain the In
dians in a two game series. The
Indians trail the Yanks by four
and one half games and the Ti
gers by six and one half.
Meanwhile, the equally tense
National league race finds the
front-running St. Louis Cardinals
only one game ahead of the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
Newcomb Again Wins
Don Newcombe, big Negro
righthander pitched the Dodgers
to within a game of the Red
Birds last night as he turned back
the Boston Braves, 10-2, at Eb

triumph, yielded only six nits and
fanned seven to run his league

The Dodger ace's string of con
secutive scoreless innings was
snapped at 31 when the Braves
scroed the first run of the game

Brooklyn bounced back In its
half of the second to sew up the
game, whacking Bill Voiselle for
five runs. Voiselle previously had

Major Baseball
Votes Against
Altering Bonus
CINCINNATI. Sept. 7
Major League Baseball has vot
ed against repealing the bonus
rule, the office of Baseball Com
missioner A. B. Chandler an
nounced today.
In a brief statement, Walter
Mulbry, secretary-treasurer of
baseball, said: 'The amendment
tc major and major-minor league
rule 3 (K), the bonus rule, on
winch a mail vote from the major
league clubs was requested Aug.
25, failed of passage."
The amendment, which had
been approved by the Major
league executive committee,
would have set aside provisions
of the bonus rule for the new
crop of players but would have
kept them in effect for three
years for those players already
covered.
Mulbry told newsmen the
amendment, "perhaps with modi
fications." would be on the agen
da for the joint Major league
meeting in December.
George M. Traulmen, president
of the National association, will
not request Minor leagues to vote
on the amendment, considering
the action of the Major leagues,
Briefly, the bonus rule provides I
that a player, paid more than
$5,000 to sign a Major, AAA or
AA league contract, may not be
farmed out without waivers. The
bonus amount for Class A clubs
is $1,500 and for B, C. and D clubs
$3,000.
Under an amendment, effective
March 31. 1919, bonus players
now signed may be optioned for
one year by a club which buys
or otherwise obtains their con
tract from the original assignor.

Mat Battle To
Feature Stoicck
And Buck Weaver
The Ions awaited meeting be
tween two of the nation's lead
ing wrestlers, Frankie Stojack
and Buck Weaver, will be fea
tured at the Roseburg Armory
arena Saturday night. Weaver,
present holder of the Pacific
coast light-heavyweight title, and
Stojack, long-time Junior heavy
weight titleholder, will meet In
the one -hour headllner that
might well attract a capacity
crowd.
An outstanding preliminary one-
hour skirmish, featuring the local
debut of Pete Bartu, newcomer
from Albuquerque, N. M against
Pierre LaBelle, popular French-
Canadian, will add spice to the
all-star show.
Stojack. the ex -Washington
State college athlete, announced
that he could make the light-
heavyweight weight limit and
asked for a title match. Weaver,
a former University of Indiana
athlete, refused to risk hit coveted
crown because he had Just re
cently put up the championship.
stoiack, who recently Battled
Georges Dusette to a draw, said
he was glad to get the non-title
assignment, figuring he could
force Weaver Into a title defense
if he should win and he is con
fident of a victory.
Both Stojack and Weaver are
spectacular performers and Doug
las county mat followers are as
sured of one of the most colorful
and dynamic battles of the sea
son. Stojack employes his' famed
airplane spin and Weaver' used
an assortment of good, fundamen
tal maneuvers that brought him
the coast championship.
The match promises to draw
even better than last week's six
man battle royal, which went to
Jack Kiser in a final verdict over
The Yaqui Kid. Labeile, one of the
six contenders, suffered an early
upset, but returned to defcet Tony

aries. -
