- 9 V.. Tha OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon, Wednesday Merging. October 9, 1929 PAGE SEVEN Jack KeMwoirftlhi Omit to Walop Dumdee Here Tool "WW Haying listened to the first ftrorld series same orer the radio, we know more about it now.. So jtar, it looks like we'd register an other correct guess, but there's a long way yet to go, and baseball is basebaii. And it's a good thing it is. Because ir one game was tonongh to settle the thing, where .would the hard working players set money enough to lire through the winter? We apologize to Graham Mc Namee; be scents to have aban ; doned his old ways and while ' his broadcast was flowery en ; ough, he kett right ap to the etecond, and gave us only one bum steer. But where did he find out that the pitchers have the advantage in ot being familiar to the batters In the other leacue? Looked a bit like It. for sevei Innings or so. jbut as wo see it, the batters have the advantage because the oppos Ing battery doesn't know their .weaknesses. After hitting against 160 or so different pitchers through the season, a few more Strangers aren't going to bother jthe batters so much. Sitting away out here In front of a radio, of coarse we are in position to tell the managers just what they should do to , win these games. Now If we'd been Connie Mack, in the sev enth Inning with Cub runners on second and third and one down, we wonld havej ordered Khmke to walk Mrathcote, thus filling the bases and pre paring for a double play. But Connie didn't have the ben efit of our advice, so.lia-had to worry along on what Wjeaxa or so of baseball have taugSt him. plus what help Kid Gleason and the other boys could tell him. He let Ehmke pitch to Heathcote, and it worked out all right. Heathcote hit a fly, which might have let in the run that would have looked A3 big as a house. But it was a short fly, and the runner stayed there. They might have wandered over to the Cubs' bench and ad vised Joe McCarthy not to put , in a pinch hitter for Root, as long as Root was pitching so nicely; but we weren't there and wouldn't have done it any way, since we were pulling for the A's; and our judgment was vindicated, because Hartnett fanned anyway, and the Cubs got their run the next inning, and Bosh couldn't hold the A's. Too bad these managers haven't got the advice of all us radio spec tator experts we don't mean Just us. but all the rest of you. Yes, we mean you. We pick Jack Kentworth to beat Pat Dundee tonight with the usual reservation about draw.

The Bambino has 'hit IS homers, two triples and five doubles In the series in which he played. A cabin plane service for foot ball "students" who want to see out ot town games in a hurry will be started at the University of Mis souri this fall. Wesley Fesler, Ohle State's most prominent fallback, may be shifted to end this fall. WI LOCAL LAD IS SURE OF SELF Salem scrapper veteran of 14 Fights Since Last Battle in City Fourteen fights in Portland and other Pacific eoast cities, hare taught Jack Kentworth, local 142 pound scrapper, a lot more about ring science than he knew when he fought Pat Dundee here In two Indecisive battles last spring. and have Inspired the southpaw with a belief that tonight is his opportunity to settle that old feud for good. The smiling, harmless looking youth with the murderous punch f""" JJuZ . "LJfti ,S2L! night that he would administer sleep powders to his brunette-Ir ish foe. And If condition Is all that is necessary. Jack appears to be equal to the task. Earns Draw Despite Hand Broken In Second Jack's last fight was in San Franeiseo, where he was billed for several engagements but managed to fill only one. He fought Hern andez, and after breaking his hand in the second round, kept on plug ging tor four more rounds to earn a draw in spue or taai in jury. It prevented him from fill ing other engagements, howerer, and be returned to Portland. That was eight weeks ago. plenty of time to permit the In jured member to heal, and for sev- eral weeks he has been training hard, with Joe Markuson as spar ring partner. If Kentworth has Improved as much as appears from his work outs here Monday and Tuesday, Dundee will have to set a faster pace than he did in their previous meetings; but Pat hasn t been standing still either. He is in the best condition local fans have ever seen him in, according to reports. Matchmaker Harry Plant seems to have hit upon an ideal setup for this card; a good local main event, two six round fights that are bound to be fast, and two four round events which may not be so fast but will certainly be full of thunder and lightning, featuring as they do a quartet of hard hit ting heavyweights. Harry Soo, who meets Billy Robbins in the-fast bout before the main event, is nationally known, and the only reason Salem gets to see him at this time. Is that he has been in retirement for a year, and is staging a comeback without too much flourish. Robbins Is report ed to be a worthy adversary for him. Every fan 'who has attended fights here in the last year knows Jackie Wattenberger and the Am brose twins. This time it is Lloyd, not Floyd. On the last card Floyd won a decision over Jackie, the first time either ot the twins had beaten this tough Independence boy. Jackie has bis eye on the $10 posted by the boxing commission for the fighter who puts up the best show. He won it the last time such a prize was offered, and does not see why he shouldn't get it again One of the four round fights finds Dave McRae, local switch man, pitted against Bob Hagan, who knocked out Cliff Wetzel on the last card. McRae told the matchmaker Tuesday night that he was going to knock Hagan out in the third round. Hagan, who pushes engineering books to one side to don the gloves again, has other ideas on the subject. The other four round heavy weight special will feature Wetzel and Bob Steele, who is a newcom er but according to Mel Brown, his manager, has the stuff. GOLF TOURNEY "WOOD BURN. Oct. 8.

NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 8. (AP) Solving the port tide de livery of August Johns without difficulty today, the Ban Francis Co Mission Redf banged oat A 7-1 victory over Hollywood's Stars to capture the first gam ot the post season series for the 1929 Pa cific coast league pennant A home run Into the left field bleachers by Gordon Blade, short stop, started the Missions on their way in the second Inning. Three more in the next frame and an other trio In the seventh gare the winners of the first half of the split season a commanding lead. Hulvey relieved Johns In the sev enth but the damage had been done. Stan Get But Nine Hits During Game "Dutch Ruether, veteran left bander, allowed the Stars nine hits, well scattered, and received fine support. The visitors scored their first run in the fourth when Funk doubled, took third on Sev- ereid's single and came home while Serereid was being forced out by Rumler. Lee drove In the other tally in the seventh, Malon ey scoring after a walk and ad vancing to third on Johns double. The Missions' five hit rally in the third was started by Finn. He singled and Boone, Scott, Sherlock and Hufft followed suit. In the seventh Finn singled again and came home on Boone's double. Scott doubled, scoring Boone, and Johns was chased to the showers. Scott went to second on Sher lock's sacrifice and scored on Hufft's single to left. Only 2000 Fans Turn Out to See Contest A small crowd of around 2,000 persons turned out. Two more games will be played here and the next three in Los Angeles. Loca tion of a seventh contest, if nec essary, has not been decided upon.

On the Sidelines By BRIAN BELL Baseball lightning has a habit of striking in queer places during the world's series play. Stranger things have happened and it may be that a hero of the approaching classic may walk Into the hall of fame from the "bull-pen" where relief pitchers are warmed up for an emergency summons. " When nominations are in order it might be well to give thought to the name of Howard Ehmke, a veteran of 12 years of major lea gue baseball and on a champion ship outfit for the first time. Perhaps "Howie" will not start a game for the Athletics, although his chances will be good It he goes to the venerable Connie Mack one fine day and says, "I am ready to pitch." It the going becomes rough tor one of the star flingers of the White Elephants, the tall form of Ehmke Is likely to stride right In to the picture. The tarpaulin manufacturer, who occupies his off-seasons In sellinr cnvarinrn for hahall nil rtootball fields, has excellent equipment for relief pltehing. He SALEM ARMORY JACK KENTWORTH PAT DUNDEE 8 BOUNDS Harry Soo vs. Billy Robbins GROUNDS Lloyd Ambrose vs. Jack Martin 6 ROUNDS Davis McRae vs.. Dan Hogan 4 Rownd Special TWO OTHER BOUTS Home Again r ft J-t 1 -v f 9- I v- f I &Zr pi A I Jack Kentworth, popnlar local 142 pound fighter who will meet Pat Dundee in the eight round mala event on tonight's card. is a "trick" pitcher in that he boasts an assortment of weird de liveries, some of them seen only when he pitches. He will toss a ball up side arm, come through with one overhand and then throw another underhand. He had a pitch he called his "hesitation ball" but he has used it little of late. If called to the colors for world series service, he might bring the "hesitation" out ot retirement for a few trials. It is safe to say that if Ehmke pitches against the Cubs they will see more variety than they encountered in any one game during the season. Manager Mack, it is said, never calls on Ehmke arbitrarily, pre ferring to let the pitcher name his day to pitch. This on the theory that no one knows his condition so well as does the pitcher. So, if a courier is seen dashing from the bull pen to the bench of the Athletics during the series he should be taken seriously. He may be bearing the word from Ehmke that he is ready at any time. Bill Laval, bead football eoach of the University of South Caro lina Gamecocks, believes that pre season training la the time to harden his players. Rain or shine he sends his men through their early paces and he issues pads to protect tacklers only when serious play begins. This makes the pro tection all the more appreciated later. "When players are all padded up, and fully protected as they will be in games," says Laval, "tackling will be a pleasure." To suggestions that football practice in the rain is a bit of over emphasis, his reply Is, "Games are played in the rain." Christian Keener Cagle, the Army football captain and star back, has an abundance ot names. To his home folk In Louisiana he Is Keener. As the Army does not tolerate parting names In the mid dle he Is officially "Christian K." The players call him "Red," although his hair is not red at all. Iewa university's gridiron call brought out 150 yearlings, the largest number the Hawkeyes have had in recent years. One hundred fifty donned moleskins. Johnny Parks, Wisconsin foot ball captain, spent the summer as a tourist guide la Paris It was his first visit to the gay spot. Into Camp to Tune of 7-2 E Connie Mack's Strategy Given Credit for Ath letics' 3-1 Win is (Continued from Paso 1.) they threatened on three separate occasions to break through the barrier or slow curves, floaters and a change ot side-arm pace but except in the ninth, when they had a three run disadvantage to overcome, thes failed to show anything; like a punch in the pinch. The biggest guns In the Cub at tack, Rogers Horsby and Haek Wilson, were spiked more effec tively than any others. Twice these .two sluggers were fanned in succession by Ehmke's tantaliz ing delivery, once in the third In ning with runners on second and third: again in the sixth, when the A's star retired the whole Cub side on strikes. These three victims made it five in a row for Ehmke at the time. All he need ed was one more to tie Hod Bi ter's record, made against the White Sox in W19, but the next man up in the seventh frame. Kikt Cnyler, as well as the next batter, Riggs Stephenson, singled Athletic Hurler Pulls Self Out of Two Holes This seventh inning marked the second of Ehmke's great stands in which he pulled himself out, each time by the strike out route. The A's had gathered their first run on Fox's homer just a few moments before but Ehmke was in a bad hole when Grimm's sa crifice nut Curler on third and Stephenson on second. From the dugout, reinforce ments were rushed up by General Joe McCarthy. Cliff Heathcote batted for Catcher Zack Taylor, but Simmons grabbed his short fly to left on the run and kept the fleet Cuyler from an at tempt to score. The A's were themselves far from potent at bat. Root had splendid control and fine support, but his succes sor, Guy Bush, was treated harshly by his own defense as well as the A's bats in the ninth. Mickey Cochrane, shot a single through Hornsby to start the ninth, then English booted Sim mons' grounder in his haBte to start a double play. The short stop's nerves were still upset and after grabbing Fox's rap he Jug gled the ball so long that all run. ners were safe and the bases full. Miller brought Cochrane and Simmons across with a drive to center but Bush personally check ed further threats by grabbing two short bounders by Dykes and Boley for putout at the plate. Kiki Completes Circuit To Briny; In Tally The Cub attack finally broke thronerh in Its last chance after Wilson had laid Ehmke low tem porarily at the start of the ninth. The A's pitcher tossed out Hack at first but Jimmy Dykes then un corked a wild throw on Cuyler s to dress correctly for "a party" is part of the cost, the requirement, and privilege of being a gentleman . . . says 'holly huntington' PARTY .411 CALK AT 7.

Kiki went to second under the ground rules and scored oa Stephenson's sin gle to center. The crowd was in an aproar when Grimm followed with a safe blow to right. But Dykes took pinch hitter Blair's rap to force Grimm at second as Stephenson went to third, and Tol soa, pinch batting for Bush, struck out. It was a great victory for Con nie Mack and his strategy in se lecting Ehmke, instead ot one of his more famous pitching stars. such as George Earnshaw or Lef ty Grove. Ehmke demonstrated so conclusively that the Cubs have no fondness whatever for slow balls and a puzzling change of pace that It would not surprise the experts if old Jack Qulnn drew the assignment for the sec ond game tomorrow. Strong Sapport Is Given by Athletics The Athletics gave Ehmke fine support. Dykes offset his last tu ning error by the most specta cular play ot the game in the fourth inning, when he dived and speared a line drive from Riggs Stephenson's bat while stretched oa the ground. Al Simmons lean ed over into the left field boxes in the fifth inning to grab Taylor's long fly with one hand while Wll son contributed the most spark ling defensive stunt for the Cubs with a driving catch of Simmons' drive in the seventh inning. This was the ninth straight setback in the world's series bat tle for the National league's STA TESMAN Free Cooking School Grand Theatre Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 2 to 4 p.m. Mrs. Fern T.
