Kiner Hearing Ruth's Record For Home Runs Heavy Slugger Steals Headlines From Pennant Race With Two Homers By JACK HAND Awcx-lated Prraa Spuria Writer Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh's fence buster, has stolen the headlines from the pennant race with his frontal assault on Babe Ruth's all- time home run record. Twice last night the Pirate slug ger tied major league marks as he hammered Nos. 47 and 48 off Philadelphia Phil pitching. The i 'arks were most homers with bases full In a season four and most homers In consecutive at bats four.

The Boston Braves-Chicago Cub game was postponed because of wet grounds. His first coaching duty took him to Elgin, Ore., where he headed all sports the one year he was there. He summed up his first coaching experience with "We won a few moral victories." West entered professional ball briefly, playing with the Salem Senators part of a season, a farm club of the Portland Beavers. He was optioned out to Twin Falls from the Salem club, but an ail ing hack caused him to be re leased. West started out as an outfield er In high school, then replaced the shortstop when the latter was ill. Wes moved to second base, where he became part of a "keystone combination" that racked up more double plays in one season than any other duo in the league. He signed a contract with Cin cinnati, but was talked into with drawing by his parents, who felt he was too young to enter the professional ranks. West now plays first base. The change to first was suggested by his coach In college, "for the good of the team." The coach felt the effective shortstop second base combination that West and his teammate proved to be, would work to better advantage, if West, of the powerful arm. was moved to first, while the short stop took over the hot corner. West will continue to head the Roseburg Junior varsity football and basketball clubs, in addition to coaching varsity baseball.

Mat Go' An Australian tag-team match, the most popular of professional wrestling by products with Doug las county followers, will be feat ured at the Roseburg Armory arena Saturday night and Matchmaker Elton Owen has booked a sparkling array of tal ent. Stocky Knellson, the rough-and-tumble villian from Tennessee, will return for the first time this season, teaming with Leo Kar linko, the "Mad Russian," in a tandem tilt against a pair of ex tremely popular scientific mat men Pierre LaBelle and Al Szasz. LaBelle, the talented French-Canadian, was the onlv one of the quartet to appear here last week, and he took a techni cal decision over Pete Bartu. In two preliminary one-fall matches, LaBelle will be matched against Knielson and Szasz will clash with Karlinko. The bout might well furnish local fans wilh some of the most dynamic action of the season. Hairy Elliott, one of the best known wrestling figures in the Northwest a few years ago. will be assigned the tough task of officiating the three skirmishes. When a law student at the Uni versity of Oregon ten years ago, Elliott was considered one of the top performers on the Pacific coast and he won several titles. Since then and until the war he was the No. 1 refree In the area. One of the most intelligent men ever to follow the sport that now boasts of many college grad uates, Elliott was a wrestling stylist. Although well known throughout the state, Elliott will be making his first local appear ance. Fans can be assured that If the wrestling is as good as El liott's officiating, the entertain ment will be topflight.

Coach Sanders At UCLA Meets Untried Players By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES, Sept. U.fJP) Coach Henry R. (Red) Sanders, who left the security of his alma mater, Vanderbilt, for a more Krecarious career at UCLA, gets is first contact with the Pacific Coast brand of football Friday night. His team, the Bruins or Uclans, engages Oregon State in Coliseum, and the man from the south with the pleasant d-awl frankly admits he doesn't kne-.v what to expect. Tis peculiar anticipation may continue all season, it being a chronic condition with men who coach football. It may apply double to UCLA, however, for the Bruins have al ways been somewhat unpredicta ble. The likeable Sanders came to UCLA with his eyes wide open, and promptly promised no mira cles. He's a sound single wing craftsman, a fundamentalist; de manding in a sense and appar ently well established with the grid talent on hand. Whether he has been able to Instill the single wing after four seasons of the Tplay at UCLA remains to be seen. Oregon State employes the single wing, too. Sanders has 25 lettermen from a team that won three and lost seven games last year, including a 28 0 loss to so-so Oregon State eleven. His backfleld ace is a scrappy little veteran at the tailback po sition, Ernie Johnson. The Sacra mento speedster was noted as a scatback last year and now has added passing to his repertoire. the football team and the Rose burg high school band will also participate in the rally. Yell queen Pat will be aided by Jackie Daniels and Willa Wil shire. Miss Mears warns that children below junior high school rank should not participate in the ser pentine, which may prove too strenuous for the pre high school groups. . tyev9r7leptqpmnis BRAKE BLOCKS-LININGS FRICTION BLOCKS Dtpandoble Productf that art "Kina to Your Equipmnf and OvarhoaaV CHAMPION FRICTION CO.
