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.
Mtdford Has Strong

pects now practicing and others

"literature."

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.

points lor Oregon.

Rocky Groziano
Beats Fusari In
9th Round TKO
NEW YORK. Sept. 15.WP
The Rock Is back on the victory
road. Not the Rocky Graziano of
old but still the most exciting
fighter to watch In the ring to
day. For nine rounds against Charlie
Fusari in the Polo grounds last
night, it looked like the Rock
was through. He was trailing on
every scorecard and It seemed
only a tenth round knockout
could save him.
The explosive hurst that the
crowd of 31.092 had been wait
ing for all night.
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.
