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.

RukeyserTalk
Will Spotlight
US Economics
“The American economic system
is the world’s pace setter because
it fits human nature like a. glove,”
is the belief of Merryle Stanley
Rukeyser, who will speak on “The
Outlook for Better Living” in Mc
Arthur court Monday at 7:30 p.m.
In drawing a distinction between
real progress and political blue
sky, Mr. Rukeyser has said:
“Through the decades, Americans
have attained greater material
well being than ever before
achieved . . . 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

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.
