    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.

up for the first practice session, many of them in football togs for the first time. A comprehensive athletic program
announced recently makes boys such as these i part of a five-part plan ta train future athletics. (Staff Photo).
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.

An Indication of the emphasis

his group is to be an integral pait
of a tingle overall plan to train
voting athletes, "from the cradle
up," so to speak.

been playing ball for many years,
plans for ihis year's team are
much more comprehensive. Tur

Last Friday's Myrtle Creek garie

sion Monday night. As the second

the new program, Wyatt's young
stersdubbed the Papoose Babes

fitr.t time this year. lie said this
was largely through the cooper
ation of the J V Sporting Goods
store which provided 22 new uni
forms at cost, and Noble Goet
tel. who paid for three of the
new uniforms.
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.
Although the Babes have no

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

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.

Hod Turner, long-time Rose

coaching experience, he had

Dusette, Weaver Rematched
On Saturday Wrestling Bill;
Szasz Takes On Carl Myers
About a month ago, Ceorgei Dusette met Buck Weaver In a
title match hers but lost it on a disqualification much to the
fans' dlllike. Saturday night the two climb into the local ring
against aach ether for another Pacific Coast light-heavyweight
title encounter and this time Dusette il out to make sura he
pint the Indiana flash; the fans are rootig for him all the way.
l-asi lime weaver Kept going
through the ropes everytime Du
sette came close to clamping his
powerful full-nelson on him. Du
sette soon tired of this and went
right out-of the ring after him
when he pulled it once too often.
Catching up with the tricky
ex-gridiron star, Dusette bega.i
to bang his head on the ring and
floor, with the referee awarding
the fight to Weaver on a disqual
ification. The ruling was right.
But the fans didn't like it one bit.
They have grown to hate the
"big-headed" Weaver because of
his smart antics and they're Just
waiting for someone to squelch
him. It could very well happen
this Saturday night.
Backing up this stellar caid
will be a combat between a cou
ple of fasties, Al Szasz, the hust
ling Hungarian, and Carl Myers,
a new comer from Milwaukee,
Wis., a tall, slender wrestler who
leans to the rough and toughsidtr.
