By RALPH RODEN
Aaeoeieiee) Prat Sporu Writer
A hero In Brooklyn, a bum In
St. Louis and Just another pitcher
to the fans in the other major
league cities that's the thumb
nail sketch on Lefty Johnny Van
der Meer of the Cincinnati Reds.
Here'i why:
A hero In Brooklyn beat the
St. Louis Cardinals. 6-1, last night
to keep Brooklyn within a game
of the leading Cards.
Bum In St. Louis the triumph
was Vander Meer's third of the
year over the Red Birds who have
beaten him only once.
Just another pitcher to the rest
of the league outside of clipping
the Cards, Vandy has won only
two other games, one against
Philadelphia and a shutout over
Chicago.
Dodgers Beat Giants
The Cards squared off against
Vander Meer chuckling over the
Dodgers' 101 beating by the New
York Giants in the afternoon at
Ebbets field. The smiles faded in
the fourth inning.
Vandy, who a werk ago tonight
was belted for 11 hits In lest than
four Innings by the Cards In a
game that wound up In a 9-9 15
inning tie, yielded a run In the
first and then slammed the door.
The Reds, who had bowed 11
times and deadlocked the Car
dinals once in their last 12 en
counters, cracked Al Brazle for
three runs in the fourth with the
aid of two errors and were never
headed.
Three more Reds crossed home
In the fifth to insure Vander
Meer's 22nd triumph of hii career
against the Cards. The Cards
have beaten the Red lefty 15
times.
Lefty Dave Koslo turned back
the Dodgers, scattering nine hits
while the Giants mauled Preacher
Roe, Ralph Branca i.nd Rex Bar
ney for 13 solid whacks.
Sox Climb On Yanks
The Boston Red Sox itormed
back Into the American league
pennant picture as Ellis Kinder
pitched the millionaires to a bril
liant 71 conquest of the pace-setting
New York Yankees.
Kinder gave up four singles,
walked nine and fanned eight in
fashioning his 19th victory of the
season and his ninth straight. The
triumph moved the Sox to with
in a game and a half of the Yanks.
Johnny Pesky started the Red
Sox scoring with a two-run homer
in the third. Bobby Doerr clouted
his 18th off starter and losed Ed
Lopat In the fourth and the Sox
were In.
The third place Cleveland In
dians advanced to within five
games of the Yanks, beating the
St. Louis Browns, 5-2. behind the
six-hit pitching of rookie Mike
Garcia.
Philadelphia turned back the
.Washington Senators, 5-2.
The Chicago Cubs ripped the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-1. before
7.905 fans, smallest Pittsburgh
night crowd of the season.
The scheduled night game be-

Roseburg High
Indians Drill
For Medford
Tornado Is Not Sold
Short, Despite Vets
Missing From Lineup
By DAN MINDOLOVICH
Newe-Revtew Sporu Write
Roseburg Indians varsity foot
ball candidates were busily occu
pied in a two and one-hall hour
intra-souad scrimmage and kick-
off drill Friday afternoon at Fin-
lay Held.
Reports that Medford Black
Tornado will field a club with
only four men back from last
year has not made Coach Cece
Sherwood's team the least bit
overconfident.
In the two years that Roseburg
has played Medford, it was the
Black Tornado team that has
done all the winning. The Med-
fordites gain their football savvy
In the trades. Some Roseurg play-
era are still learning the funda
mentals.
Veteran Line
Coach Sherwood can field one
team with a line predominently
made up of lettermen. With Don
Parr at left tackle. John Rau-
chert at left guard, George Pack
ard at right guard, Chet Rowe at
rtgnt tackle and Dale BiancK at
right end, the line Is 71 per cent
lettermen. This leaves the left
end and the center slot the only
positions not covered by experi
enced varsitv men.
Possible candidates for these
posts are ends Greg Wadsworth,
a newcomer to Roseburg, with
some Jayvee experience; Frank
Olson, Jayvee talent and Barry
Kenny, who comes to the grid
iron with a good recommendation
irom tne Indians baseball team.
On the right end. in addition
to letterman Blanck, is Don El
lis, a hard worker and an impres
sive pass receiver.
Center Spot Weak
The center is another weak
spot in the line, with newcomers
uurwood Boyle or Howard Bur
nett slated to flip the ball.
The only other letterman line
man is Glenn Scoficld, who may
handle the tackling SDOt In Dlace
of Rowe.
Secondary backfield men In
clude Mickey Coen, quarterback;
jerry sconce, ngnt nan; Jim Mo
Kinney, fullback and Lloyd
Stumbo, left half.
The above positions are. of
course, subject to change without
nonce. At tnts point, the only
"sure-thing" is that there will be
a game here with Medford Friday
night. Sept. 16.

Mound By Umpire
(By The Aeeoclated Preaal
Guy Fletcner, Seattle's 22
game winner, got chased from
the mound in the first inning
by the umpire.
As a result, the San Francisco
Seals hopped on Fletcher's three
successors for a 13 2 Coast league

Guy threw his glove to the
ground in disgust when Umpire
Bill Doran railed one of his pitch
es a ball. Doran thumbed him
from the contest. Guy protested
and had to be escorted from the
mound.
Steve Nagy, the victor, gave
up only five hits and had a 'tig
night at bat himself. He got two
doubles, a single and was hit by
a pitched ball. He scored once
and batted in a pair to insure his
14th triumph.
Meantime, the pennant chase
continues at a torrid pace. With
but 17 games to go, the Oakland
Acorns, defending champions and
currently in second place, thump
ed Sacramento 5-3 to move with

Stanford Team's
Outlook Best
Since Great '41
By RUSS NEWLAND
PALO ALTO. Calif.
Stanford may be the team of des
tiny in Pacific Coast conference
football this season.
With a few breaks It could
wind up on championship heights.
The cluh looks that good now. It
has dash, drive, hitting power
and the finest pass thrower since
Frankie Albert sotithpawed tha
team into the 1941 Rose bowl.
Gary Kerkorian, up from last
year's freshman squad. Is the lad
who could pass Stanford to fame.
It Is a big job to ask a green ppa
to do but Kerkorian appears to
have self assurance to spare, in
spring practice he sidelined ex
perienced quarterbacks.
He runa the team as If It he
longs to him. If he holds up under
the fire of rugged competition,
Stanford could once more take its
place among western gridiron
giants.
Anyhow, the school haa Its best
prospects since the war. Besides
an improved passing game, it has
belter receivers and more reserve
material at most positions.
Coach Marchle Schwartz., whose
1947 team lost all of its nine
games but bounced back to take
four while dropping six last sea
son, was pleasantly surprised
when Emery Mitchell showed up
for practice opening day. Mitchell
was on his way to stardom when
he suffered severe injuries in last
year's game with army.
He is hack at fullback, fully
mended, to give Schwartz a triple
threater along with the other tal
ent. Stanford, in fact, has three
fullbacks. Tieh Kerkorian at
quarter, another crack sopho
more, Harry Hugastan, has grab
bed off the left halfback spot. At
right half will be Bob White, a
rppular who easilv miffht outdo
his teammates in ball handling.
