Stretcb Lead
Champs
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sportu Writer
Thanks to Joe Collins' timely
home run, the New York Yankees
take a half game lead into Fenway
park today for their dogeat-dog
series with the Boston Red Sox.
Cleveland, idle yesterday, gets
its big chance to storm into first
place while the Yanks and Red
Sox wrestle. The Indians play
three games with Detroit, a team
they have beaten 16 out of 17 times
this season.
Collins' blow off Chicago's Saul
Rogovin with two on base in the
eighth inning saved the Yanks
from dropping out of the lead. In
stead they opened up a half game
edge on the Indians by a 5-4 vic
tory over the White Sox.
This is the same Collins, a 27-year-oldstcr
from Scranton, Pa.,
who used to play only the eighth
and ninth inning for defensive pur
poses. Now he has practically
retired Johnny Mize to pinch hit
ting chores.

Ready For Action Saturday
By RUSS NEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO UP) Col
lege football, headlined by to
night's intcrsectional clash be
tween the Texas Aggies and the
UCLA Bruins, springs into action
in force throughout the far west
this weekend. ,
The port Henry "Red" Sanders
University of California at Los
Angeles club may play in the 1951
chase should be determined to
some extent. The seasoned Ag-'
gies are big, tough and powered
y one of the best fullbacks in
the country, Bob Smith. They'll
outweigh the Bruins some ten
pounds per man.
A pair of conference encounters
top Saturday's slate. Southern
California's Trojans, with fresh
manpower at hand and a new
ceach Jess Hill at the helm,
entertain the hard knocking Wash
nlgton State Cougars at Los An
GELES. The Trojans may have to
go all out to take this one.
Stanford, boasting considerable
experienced talent and an All
America end candidate in Bill
McColl, travels to Portland to take
on an Oregon team of undeter
mined quality.

Edge By
The part-time first baseman also
saved the game with a dazzling
backhand grab of Eddie Robin
son's smash in the ninth inning.
Rogovin had the Yanks eating
out of his hand through the mid
dle innings, retiring 12 straight
batters between the second to sev
enth innings. He took a 4-2 edge
into the eighth.
Phil Rizzuto opened the eighth
with a single. Mize flied out,
Mickey Mantle walked and Col
lins' blast into the lower right
field seats cost Rogovin his eighth
loss.
Johnny Sain, the $50,000 waiver
buy from the Boston Braves, failed
to survive the first inning. The
Yanks had to use five pitchers
with Bobby Hogue, another ex
Brave, getting the win.
Manager Casey Stengel has his
pitching in good shape for Boston
with Allie Reynolds, Eddie Lopat
and Vic Raschi ready for the three
games. They'll face three south
paws Leo Kiely, Mel Parnell
and Chuck Stobbs.

The game will mark the debuts
as head coaches of Chuck Taylor
at Stanford and Len Casanova at
Oregon. Taylor, an All America
guard at Stanford, coached fresh
man ball there successfully and
more recently was an assistant
on the San Francisco 49ers' pro
club staff. Casanova turned out
powerful Santa Clara teams be
fore moving to Pittsburgh for one
season last year.
Stanford shapes up much
stronger than Oregon.

opener at Berkeley with Santa

as the team to beat for the title.
Portly Pappy counts his players
by squads. Besides an imposing
varsity outfit, his is the only school
on the coast with two junior var
sity teams, each playing sched
ules. Howie Odcll, who may correctly
be labeled the "hard luck coach"
of the circuit, unveils his current
Washington team in a Seattle en
gagement with Montana.
Washington opens without the
services of its All America quar
terback, Don Heinrich, one of the
finest passers in college football.
Prior to Deadeye Don's shoul
der injury, Washington's title
chances had been counted on a
par with California's. Some ob
servers put the Huskies on top
in pro-season selections.
White Sox, 5-4
The Yanks haven't won i game
at Fenway all season in eight
starts. Against the Red Sox they
trail 10-4 on the season series.

18 of 22 from St. Louis probably
will have been decisive.
The Giants suffered a staggering
blow to their faint hopes when
Ciocy routed Jim Hearn in a three
run eighth inning. The defeat left
the Giants six games behind
Brooklyn in the loss column.
Kenny Raffeasberger, lifted for
a pinch hitter in the eighth
chalked ud his 15th win at Hearn's

Chicago Grappler
Meets Glen Knox
In Semi-Final Tilt
Glen "Baldy" Knox will appear
in the Roseburg armory Saturday
night to Wangle with Carl Eng
strom in the semi-final wrestling
bout.
Engstrom, the former Chicago
dancer, applied his airplane spin
to Frenchy Roy last week and
left the Pacific Coast light heavy
weight champion in a daze he
couldn't shake off. But most fans
believe he will meet his match
this week.
Knox, a tough grappler from
West Virginia, is slightly larger
than Engstrom and employs a
"backbreaker" hold that leaves
his opponents in a knot. However,
Engstrom isn't worried. He iay
he has met a lot of big boys
while in Chicago and usually came
out victorious.
In the main event, Danno Mc
Donald, still spoiling for revenge,
meets Jack O'Reilly for the third
week. Two weeks ago the Aussie
was .given decision over the
little Scotsman even though he
was unable to return for the final
fall.
Protests Decision
McDonald protested to the Rose
burg Wrestling commission and
wanted the verdict reversed, but
no action was taken. Last week
the commission interfered and
gave McDonald and Gordon Hes
sell a decision over O'Reilly and
Jack Carter after the boys from
down under had played rough.
The referee didn't see the dirty
work and rendered an unfair de
cision. . Matchmaker Elton Owen pre
dicts that this will be one of the
roughest matches seen in Rose
burg. McDonald will be trying to
score with his punishing drop
kicks, and O'Reilly will be relying
on hammerlocks and leg splits.
Con Bruno, the Greek who has
been a crowd pleaser on the coast
for a long time, will meet Kenny
been after a match with Champion
Mayne in the opener. Bruno has
Frank Stojack, and he will be out
for another win.
His opponent is a stylist from
Utah who knows what to do when
he enters the ring.
Tickets are on sale at Powells.

The Roseburg Umpqua Chiefs
will hold their annual post-season
baseball dinner at the Shalimar

Frick Signs
Long Contract
As Official
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
CHICAGO P Ford Frick
with dramatic assist of sportsman
ship from Warren Giles, today is
baseball's new commissioner.
Giles late last night th'.w his
full support behind the Natioil
league president to break a dead
lock of club owners and wing
spouts' biggest job to the gray,
lean, 56-year-old Frick.
Frick was given a seven-year
contract at an annual salary of
$65,000, about $25,000 more than
he received as head of the senior
circuit.
Frick ia baseball's third com
missioner. He succeeds A. B.
(Happy) Chandler, who resigned
last July 15 after the club owners
had refused to vote him a new
contract.
Until Giles, the courtly, white
haired president of the Cincnnati
Keds made his unparalleled ges
ture, the 16 major league mag
nates had wrangled almost 11
hours in a vain attempt to get the
required majority of 12 votes.
List Trimmed
In the first hour of their ses
sion, they had trimmed the list to
Giles and Frick. But from then on
they were stymied, and probably
still would be today if Giles had
not made his surprise move.
Like a hung jury, the owners
cast ballot after ballot approxi
mately 20 in all but never did
either candidate collect more than
10 votes.
After Giles appeared before the
owners and withdrew his name,
the following vote was 14-2 for
Frick. Then the Concinnati execu
tive made a motion that a final
ballot be taken and that it be
unanimous.
That is how Frick climaxing
a varied career running from
newspaperman, assistant English
professor and radio commentator
to the National league presidency
in 1934 obtained the full 16
votes.
Giles said he did what he thought
best for the interest of baseball
"the closest thing to my heart."
Chandler in 1945 succeeded the
late Judge Kenesaw mountain Lan
dis who had .served as baseball's
first commissioner since 1921 fol
lowing the Black Sox scandal.
Upon the death of Landis, there
was a movement toward Frick as
his successor. At that time, Giles
was reported ready to become
president of the National league
should Frick be named.
Although this maneuver was de
toured by the selection of Chan
dler, the way may now be cleared
for it.
Grid District Changed
In Willamette Vicinity

changed to district 5-A-2, accord

Giants' Outfielder Plans
To Start Political Career
NEWARK, N. J. UP) Monte
Irvin, the New York Giants hard
hitting outfielder, will run for the
New Jersey assembly on the Dem
ocratic ticket in November, the
Newark Star-Ledger said today.
The newspaper said it had
learned that Irvin, 30-year-old Ne
gro athlete who lives in East

children, "enthusiastically" agreed
to the proposal at a meeting last
Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Indians
Pels Outweigh
Roseburg Squad,
Have Slight Edge
The Roseburg Indians polished
off a week of heavy defensive
practices with light drills Thurs
day afternoon and departed for
Klamath Falls at 8 o'clock this
morning.
The 29-man traveling squad was
the same as last week with the
exception of two flew linemen,
Ronald Sandstrom and Dave Ged
des. Sandstrom is the new 217
pound tackle who turned out this
Desbi'ani Will Start
The starting offensive lineup re
mained the same except for the
left halfback spot. For the first
time this season speedy John Pcs
biens, who picked up 132 yards
against Springfield, was given the
starting nod. According to Coach
Bill Reder, another change was
possible at fullback. Jim McKln
ney, the regular starter, hurt his
ankle in the Springfield game and
still carries a slight limp. If un
able to start, he will be replaced
by Don Wright, a senior transfer
from The Dalles.
As usual, the weight will defin
itely be on the other side of the
scrimmage line. The Pelican line
averages in at 181 and the back
field, 172-pounds per man. Rose
burg's line is down to 168 and
the backfield weighs in at a watch-
charm 149 pounds per man; This
gives the Pels a 14-pouna-per-man
advantage in the line and a 21
pound difference per man in the
backfield.
Will Test Defense
The Indians will get a real
chance to test the success of the
passing defense patterns which
took most of this week's practices.
Although the Pelicans weren't too
ment against Grant last weekend,

Red Hurd, sports editor of the
Kllamatn f alls Herald and Mews,
describes the Pels as "Somewhat
light on talent but heavy on spirit.
Look for some upsets." The In
dians are this week's target for
that prognostication.
The game will be carried over
