Bearden Halts Braves with 5 Hits CLEVELAND— (AP) —Cheered on by a tumultuous home town crowd packed into huge Municipal stadium, southpaw Gene Bearden, Purple Heart naval hero, pitched a brilliant 2 to 0 victory over the Boston Braves yesterday in the third game of the 1948 series. In sending the American league champions out in front, two triumphs to one, in the big play-off, Bearden allowed only five hits scattered over as many innings and himself scored the deciding run of the game after powering a long double to right field in the third inning. The pitchers for today’s fourth game will be Johnny Sain, who won the opener, 1-0, for the Braves, and Steve Gromek, who won 9 and lost 3 for the Indians in the regu lar season. Groniek’s last start was Sept. 19, a 3-hit shutout against the A’s. Both he and Sain are righthanders. Through yesterday’s tussle, the impotent Braves had scored exact ly twice in three tries against Cleveland’s great mound staff. When Bearden finished with Billy Southw orth’s boys, they looked as though they might never score again. Despite the exhortations of their delirious followers, the Indians themselves did little serious club bing against the three Boston flingers they faced. Their total hit output was only five, but they were fortunate in bunching four of them in their two scoring in nings, the third and fourth. Vern Bickford, rookie right hander, gave up both Cleveland runs before he was derricked in favor of Bill Voiselle with the bases loaded in the fourth. Voiselle and Red Barrett, who hurled the final frame, allowed the tribe only one hit the rest of the way. Bearden’s control was so superb that he issued not a single walk, He struck out four ,and toward the last the Braves were so desperate for any kind of a hit that they were bunting to lead off an in ning. That worked no better than anything else. Lack of control led' to Bickford’s downfall, just as it did to that of his teammate, Warren Spahn, in Wednesday's game at Boston. The rookie issued five passes while he was in there, and one of them led to Cleveland’s second run in the fourth inning.

The good results were the consequences ... of the crea tive side of man operating in the realm of science, invention and en gineering.” New York Headquarters Mr. Rukeyser’s headquarters are in New York. He has gained na tional distinction as an economic commentator, lecturer, columnist and author. Among his literary achievements are “Financial Se curity in a Changing World” and five other economic tomes. Mr. Rukeyser has led a varied life as sports editor, teacher at Columbia university, radio lectur er, author, and, finally, economic commentator. He has frequently been invited to speak before important lecture groups all over the nation. In ad dition to this, Mr. Rukeyser broad casts each Wednesday evening on “The Battle of the Commentators,” and has often appeared on such programs as “Wake Up America (Please turn to page eight) Special.... Aiken's Team Out to Win For Johnson (Ed. note: The following report was telegraphed to the Emerald just before press time last night by Kirk Braun, protography edi tor. Braun drove to Moseow to at tend the Oregon-Idaho game.) PULLMAN, Wash, October 8— We pulled into Moscow at 6:30 to night and the campus is in great spirits. It seems to be the general idea that it would be nice to have duck soup for dinner, come Satur day night, followed by an entree of roast duck. Aiken and company, who are berthed in the Washing ton hotel in Pullman, ten miles from the scene of battle, have a different sort of idea in mind. The boys worked out this after noon on the WSC field and Aiken says they are in good shape both mentally and physically. Aiken, however, isn’t in such good mental state since he has his usual Friday night jitters. But he feels confi dent that the boys will bring home the bacon. The team will miss the services of DeVVayne Johnson, whose father passed away today in Silver ton. The entire team and coaches sent flowers and sympathies and the boys are going; to put in an extra lick or two for DeWayne. Weather here promises to be fair so Van Brocklin should have a good day. Sports writers on Spokane, Moscow and campus pa pers all pick Ducks by from 7 to 14 points but point out that the Vandals will not go down without a struggle. My own prediction is this: first quarter will go scoreless. Ducks will break ice in second frame with score. Two more in third quarter and one in final to give Oregon 27 to nothing win. Hooters from Webfootville will be scarce but there will be several carloads. Team is out t*aking in a show tonight and will be tucked in by coaches promptly at 9:45 p.m. Idaho students say Quacks will be smacked tomorrow but in be tween the lines, they don’t really; believe they can do it. Kirk Braun I House Heads Meet A meeting of the Heads of Houses lias been scheduled ffor Monday, 4 p.m. in the Alumni of fices. There will also be a Phi Chi Theta meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday at 205 Commerce.
