Dodgers Are Trying Hard To Stop Cards Howtvtr, 11 Victories Gain Not A Foot, At Cards Also Win Games By JOE REICHLER AMorlaud PrM Sporta WrtUr The Brooklyn Dodgers must be wondering today Just what must they do to catch the high Hying St. Louii Cardinals? Since the first of the month, the Brooks have piled up 11 vic tories In 11 tries, a true cham pionship gait. And just how much yardage did they pick up on the Redblrds during that torrid stretch drive? Not a foot. While the Dodgers were polishing off Boston, New York and Cincinnati, the Cards duplicated the Dodgers' feat by winning 11 of their last 13 skirm ishes. So as the two perennial rivals swing Into the final two weeks of the blistering- National league campaign) the Cards still cling to the game and a hall edge tney held SeDt. 1. The Dodgers drew first blood yesterday, knocking on tneir favorite playmates, the Clncin. rati Reds, 4-2, in an afternoon tussle. That narrowed the Cards' edge to one game. A Redblrd de feat meant the slimmest of mar gins between the two clubs a half leneth. But It was not to be. The Giants proved easy prey for the Red birds, bowing under a 9-3 lacing as Harry (the Cat) Brecheen con tinued his nightly prowl with a 10-hlt effort. In the American league, the Yankees advanced a couple of more strides toward their 16lh championship, by sweeping both ends of a double bill from the napless St. Louis Browns, 2-0, and 13-7. The sweep enabled the Bronx Bombers to Increase their first place lead over Boston to three full games, despne tne nea Sox' 1-0 victory over Detroit. Cleveland virtually eliminated itself by dropping a 2-1 decision to the Philadelphia Athletics as Rookie Bobby Shantz beat Bob Feller. In other games the Chicago White Sox dumped the Wash ington Senators 81; Philadel phia's Phillies whipped the Pitts burgh Pirates 12-4, and the Chi cago Cubs otitslugged the Bos ton Braves, 8-7.

YOURSELF friends with more smart feet every day Webfoots Meet Strong Gaels Team In Opener UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Sept. 15 Oregon's Web foots traveled south Wednesday to meet the rough St. Mary's Gaels Friday night under the lights of Kezar stadium, ban Francisco. In the opening round of the 1949 grid campaign for both squads. St. Mary's coach Joe Verduccl predicted a victory over the bucks early in the season, so the Webloots expect a ruggeo eve ning. Last season St. Mary's came to Lugene. with Its coacn Ing staff predicting victory, and the Gaels came within a point of upsetting the PCC co-cnamps. Only a late rally behind the pass ing arm of Norm Van Brocklin saved the Ducks, to a narrow 14 to 13 win. And Van Brocklin isn I with Oregon anymore. Friday night's game will he the first under the lights at Kezar. Coach Jim Aiken is making no predictions on .he outcome, out he has indicated that, with the exception of the quarterback slot, he feels the Webfoots are about ready. Dally double scrimmage sessions, in force since the sea son started, were ended late last week. Quarterback for the Ducks Fri day will probably be Earl Stelle, a peppery former Medford high star. But pressing him hard, and certain replacements if Stelle fails to perform satisfactorily, are Jim Calderwood, a sopho more from Baker, and Joe Tom. The rest of the positions are about set, Darrell Robinson and DeWayne Johnson at ends; Steve Dotur and Sam Nevills at tack les; Chet Daniels, replacing Ted Meland, lost on eligibility techni calities, and Ed Chrobot at guards; and Dave Gibson at cen ter. In the backfield will be Wood lev Lewis at left half, George Bell at right, and Bob Sanders at fullback. It will be the ninth meeting of the two schools since the series started In 1929. The Gaels have a definite edge in the standings, with six victories and 112 points. against two victories and 46 points lor Oregon.

Not the Rocky Graziano of old but still the most exciting fighter to watch In the ring to day.

A left hook suddenly connected and Fusari reeled from mid-ring to the ropes. A right, then an other, and then a rain of blows that draped Fusari over the ropes and then to the floor for a count of nine. Like a tiger smelling blood. Rocky tore after Fusari. He pin ned him In a corner, held his head In place with his left hand, and sledgehammered him with his right. The crowd was on Its feet. roaring for the kill. But Referee Ruby Goldstein had seen enough. He pulled the snarling Graziano from nis victim and declared the Rock the victor at 2:04 of the' last round. "He shouldn't have stopped it," walled Fusari. "I was waiting for him to slow up and then I would have come after him." The 24-year-old Jerseyite, stop ped for the first time In his career, lost nothing In defeat. He was outweighed 13 pounds 159s to 1474 by one of the fiercest punchers in the game and except for the one mistake was the better fighter. The three officials all had Fu sari in front for nine rounds.
