Larry claims the most important
detail In his comeback rests di
rectly within the Brooklyn club
itself and squarely on the ever

Minpger LiDDV Leo Durocher. '
"He's the only real manager
; I have ever worked for," says
Larry. "This Durocher makes
the Brooklyn team operate the
way it does. He will out-hoUer
any holler guy. He will out-pepper
any pepper guy. He will
oat-fish t any fighting manager
" or player. He never stops. With
a live-wire like Leo, a club ,
fcimply cannot, run into a serious
losing streak. He's a gambling
fool, insofar as baseball is con
cerned a chance-taker, and he
knows when to take his
chances."
Strange potion Hhat a knuckle

French's record backs it up,
Twelve wins against one loss isn't

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-iip)-The
Reigning champions of the wo
men's Western Golf association
Mrs. Russell Mann of Omaha,
Neb., and Betty Jameson of San
Antonio,. Tex. r oiled safely
through the quarter-final round
of the current women's amateur
meet Thursday at Sunset Ridge
and continued to head toward a
possible meeting in Saturday's fi
nals.
Mrs. Mann, 1941 amateur win
ner, defeated Mrs. Harold Sims
of St. Paul, Minn., with virtually
no trouble at alL 4 and 2. But
Miss Jameson, 1942 western open
victor, had a real time of it in
beating off Dorothy Kirby of At
lanta, Ga., 2 and 1.
In order to qualify for the
championship round two days
hence, Mrs. Mann Friday must
stop the girl she defeated for
this title last year, Mary Arnes
Wall of Menominee, Mich. Miss
Jameson's semi-final round fore
will be Dorothy Ellis of Indian
apolis, the Indiana state cham
pion. Miss Wall won Thursday from
Claire Doran of Cleveland, 8 and
2, and Miss Ellis beat Virginia In
gram, a member of Sunset Ridge,
4 and 3.
The center of interest today
were the' Mann-Sims and Jame-Son-Kirby
matches, and both were
worthy of the attention.
In both cases the winners shot
fine rounds of golf, Mrs. Mann
being even with par for the 18
holes her match lasted, and Miss
Jameson being only two over
par for the 17 holes she was
forced to traveL

couver Caps, .who were" downing
Spokane, 5r4.The "double defeat
failed to push Salem back into the
loop basement ' .
. The story of the two tilts was
simply too much Abbott for
Salem's George Babich and Paul
Soderborg, respective pitchers.
He connected for a home ran
In each game, one double and
three singles, driving in a total
of seven runs, four of them in
the close seven-inning first
game.
The homers were No's. 12 and
13 for Abbott, to put him farther
ahead as the league's .home run
leader. He drove in two runners
ahead of him with a third inning
wallop in the first game to change
any ideas Babich had of winning
his ninth game of the season, and
one was on base when his big
Bertha drive came in the fifth
frame of the ninth-inning night
cap off Soderburg.
For Salem, Outfielder Sam
Taormina and Firstsacker Jack
Richards lashed out circuit wal
lops in the first game, both
coming with nobody on base.
Those were the big blows off
Fred Bradley. Alf Cailteaux'
double drove in two Salem tal
lies. The Senators had their big
chance in the sixth heat of the
opener, filling the bases with only
one out But Manacrer Pharlio
Petersen rapped into the second
Tiger double play of the game
to nullify the rally.
Soderburg was touched for a
total of 18 blows In the second
game, five runs on six of the
base-knocks starting the Tigers
off on the rout in the third in
ning.
Salem collected 10 hits off Lefty
Chet Johnson, who got belter as
the game progressed and merely
coasted in.

championship as well as the team
pennant will be at stake Saturday
night and Sunday at Bend where
the league-leading Eugene Ath

Loggers in the final series of the
1942 season.
Joe Decker, Bend outfielder,
has an excellent chance of
wresting the batting lead from
Spencer Dean of Silverton, who
last week moved . ahead of
Manager Ken Manning of the
Silver Sox, leader for the past
month. Dean .has an average of
.457 as compared to Decker's
.440, and Joe Leptlch of Eugene,
BUI Moye of Albany, and Hank
Mako of Bend, all batting .396.
The Athletics need a single vic
tory against Bend to capture the
flag. A double defeat at the hands
of the Loggers would send the
A's into a title playoff with the
Portland Firemen, who trail by
a single game.
