Pirates Cut Cardinals' Lead By 6-To4 Victory Boston Beats Washington By Same Score Yanks Defeat Athletics Behind Raschi's Hurling; Brooklyn Has Idle Day By RALPH RODEN AuocUUd Pr.M Sporuwrltar The St. Louis Cardinals' viola tion of the unwritten baseball rule "let sleeping dogs lie" may cost "them the National league pen nant. Pittsburgh's Pirates, a docile sixth place club when Ralph Klner Isn't on the prowl, act like a pack ol roaring lions when they clash with the swiitics from St. Louis chiefly because of an early-Boston feud. Pittsburgh chopped the Cards advantage over Brooklyn to one game last night, scoring a 6-4 tri umph over their despised rivals at Forbes field. The Dodgers were Idle. While the Pirates iolted the Cards, the Boston Red Sox dovned the Washington Senators, 6-4, to protect their one game American league lead over the New York Yankees. The Yanks defeated the Philadelphia Ath tolcs. 3-1. The Pirates' tong war with the Cards began early In the season when Ken Johnson, wild young Cardinal lefthander, beaned short top Stan Rojek. The Pirates charged the Card catcher Joe Garagiola had deliberately called for the bean ball. Garagiola and Card Manager Eddie Dyer denied the accusation but the Pirates were Xirm in their conviction. The vendetta named anew in the Pirates' last visit to St. Louis. Eros Slaughter of the Cards spiked Pirate second baseman Danny Murtaugh and the Pirates vowed to take care of the Red Birds when they came to Pitts burgh. Makt Good On Boast This they did in no uncertain manner. The Pirates belted Red Munger. rlghthanded ace of the Cards, for five runs In the second Inning to clinch the game last night. Rookie outfielder Tom Saffell dropped Munger through the trap door with a grand slam home run to climax the rally. The runs will not blemish Munger's earned run average as an error by Red Schoendlenst made all of the runs unearned. The Pirates now have beaten the Cards 11 times In 21 games. Joe Dohson, with help from Walter Masterson, pitched the rampaging Red Sox to victory over Washington's woeful sena tors. The victory was Boston's 11th straight and Its 14th consecu tive win over Washington. The Sox socked Paul Calvert for six rum in the first six In- nings while Dobson limited the Senators to one hit over the same span. Boston drove Calvert out with a four-run blast In the sixth, which Dobson capped with a run producing single. Washington loaded the bases against Dobson in the seventh with none out but mannged to score only once. The Senators sent Curly Joe to the showers In the following Inning, scoring three runs before Masterson rushed In, threw a double play ball to Roberta Oritz, and got Eddie Robinson to fly out. One Inning Enough Vic Raschl hum' up his 20th Victory In pitching the Yanks to "t 3V t r - - 4". w-4 fcvVV. a??-' v w v .'. , y r: X (. tt:-. -Tr .T?T-' .-""rTr.-..- .

Newly-Adopted City School Athletic Program Providing Advancement Wins Approval Coaches Hod Turner, Frank Purdy, Norm West and Eddie Wyatt today voiced their enthusiasm for the newly-adopted city school athletic program, announced by Athletic Director Cece Sherwood. West, Coach of the Junior Var sity Warriors, said the plan was an extension of the policy under which J V players have compet ed. As his individual Warriors Improve, they graduate to the varsity squad to see action in regular high school league games. His 24 man J V squad Is com posed of sophomores and Juniors, many of them up from Junior high school ranks, although some have never played football be fore. Junior varsity ball thus pro vides them with the experlenc they have never been able to get. West said his boys dropped their last game to Sutherlin, 13 12, but every man on the squad saw action. An example of what experienc ed ball players can do for a school Is this year's Medford var sity team. West said Mcrtford's Junior varsity lost every one of lis eight games played last year. However, this year's varsity team, composed largely of those same J V players, are mnklng a strong blif for state champion ship honors. In addition to trounc- vlctory over Philadelphia. The Yanks Jumped on Dick Fowler for all of their runs in the third Inning. Fowler forced the first one home by walking Tommy Henrich with the bases loaded. Yogi Berra followed with a two-run single to chase Fowler In favor of Bobby Shantz. In the only other games yes terday, the Cleveland Indians shaded the Chicago White Sox, 3-2, on Joe Gordon's ninth Inning single. The Cincinnati Heds edged the Chicago Cubs, 5-4, scoring two runs In the ninth. Virgil Stallrun's fourth hit scored Danny Lltwhiler with the payoff run. 7 Ing Rosehnrg 20.

In spite of the added equip ment, Wyatt said many eligible youngsters were turned away be cause there weren't enough uni forms to go around.

Schools' Grid Program Best Yet On Record Mor Than 200 Roseburg Youngsters Suited Up For Season's Contests Roseburg Athletic Director Cece Sherwood said today that over 200 Roseburg young sters are suited up and ready to go in the most comprehensive football program this city has ever seen. Smarted last year for the fiist time, the current football season will see over 100 grade viioo youngsters In uniform, thus add ing another group to the four divisions In operation. Two full teams from each of Ruscburg's four grade schools have been working out the last three Saturday mornings under the direction of trained coaches, preparing for the season openers Oct. 1 The grade schoolers join the runks of their older brothers plaving ball with the seventh and eichth grade Papoose Babes, the junior high school Papooses, the junior varsity Warriors, and the senior high school varsity Indians. Experience is the keynote of the new program, aimed prima rily at youngsters under varsity football age. Although all young sters will be instilled with the will to win every time they enter a contest, Sherwood said coaches are going to put their entire squads into every game win, lose or draw." The process will be reversed for varsity players, with empha sis placed on producing winning teams and experience coming in for second notice. Program Outlined Sherwood outlined the grade school program as follows: Each school will field a team made up of boys under 75 pounds in weight and another team for youngsters weighing from 75 to 100 pounds. Any boy over the 100-pound weight limit automa tically becomes a lineman, thus assuring the youngsters they will not be injured trying to tackle some overweight fullback. The boys will play the width instead of the length of Finlay field and all penalties will ne half the usual distance. Boys in each weight division will com pete against each other in lour. six-minute quarters, all fully padded in uniforms issued lor the first time this year. Hod Turner, long-time Rose burg athletic coach, in describ ing last Saturday s football turn- cut, said that in his 25 years of coaching experience, he had "never seen anything like it. It was a sight for sore eyes," he declared. Complete with cheering sec tions and under the watchful eyes of their parents, the kids went through their paces In prepar ation for league competition in their final practice session. 6 Tha Nawt-Raviaw, Roseburg, Or.
