A five-hit, throe-run blast In the first inning helped the pennant-winning Seattle club to a 5 to 1 victory over the Angels at Seattle Wednesday night, while Sacramento won its second straight from the Seals at San Francisco, 5 to 4, in 10 innings. Seattle's Los Webber had strong fielding support as lie let the An gels down with only five hits, two of them, in the sixth when Arnold Statj; drove in Lou Stringer with the sole Los Angeles tally. The five-hit Seattle splurge In the opening frame drove Ray Prim from the hill. Art Garibaldi's single, an in tentional walk, and double steal and Joe Orengo's sacrifice fly to left scored the winning run for Sacramento in the 10th Inning after the Seals had knotted the count at 4-4 with a three-run rally in the ninth.

Sept. 21 (Special) Local business men think so much of Curtis French s Cottage Grove high school foot ball team that they ve organized a booster club to lend a helping hand in any way the coach com mands. The enthusiasm is probably based on the fact that the 1939 Lions are built around 11 letter men veterans in every position except quarterback, and includ ing three tackles. But French, starting his fourth season here Friday when the Gravers travel to Philomath for the opening game of the season, certainly doesn't hold the hope of his back ers. Veteran Line Returns Although only five lettermen were lost from last year's team that was defeated only by North Bend during the seven-game sea son, French points out two defi nite weaknesses nt quarter where there isn't a single veteran and at fullback where 165-pound Gene Lusk. a letterman junior little experience, will have to fill in. "We have less green material than last year, but we will feel the loss of two tackles and two quarterbacks, and the running of Ivan Fatten at fullback. The line will be all right as long as the first string is in there, hut we already have Darrell McKihbcn, letterman guard, nut with a couple of broken ribs," French said. The Grove coach says his line will average around 105 pounds, heavier than last year, but the fact remains he could field a starting line averaging 178 "j pounds and a backfield averaging 1(51 pounds for a team average of 172 1 1 pounds. Those statistics figure in several men who will not be starters, however. Aerial maneuvers Loom The Lions, who usually employ a comparatively open style of play with spectacular aerial ma neuvers, will build their attack on the material available. French has already made several shifts in order to fill the gap loft by his three graduating backfield men. Bill Spies, an end for two years, has been moved to left half where he is expected to do most of the running and passing. Bennett Newton, a halfback last year has been sent to right end. French doesn't expect the new consolidation of the union high school district to have much ef fect on high school football here. Any newcomers usually are faced Willi the problem of commuting to and from their farm homes, lb said there are between 1H5 and 175 boys now in the school, an increase of perhaps 20 over last year. Heavy Schedule Listed The Grovers will be favored to. defeat Philomath in the opening game, perhaps even worse than last year's ltl-0 score. Bill the remnnder of the schedule will be spotted with tough assignments. Two games are being pointed for one is to gain revenge for last year's lone defeat against North llend. and the other is to break the perennial deadlock with the University high of Kugene. The season's schedule follows: Srplrmlr 2.1 Philomath, there. Seplemlier ."In Aliminl, here. Oelnher 7 North llend. here. Oi-ti.her 14 Spitnsfleld. (here (Vtoher 2l.-Sueet Home. here.

Caven Shows Wares In Kicking Drill Champion Floors Rival 5 Times Most backfield candidates for the University of Oregon football leiim tried their pedal extremities in a session devoted to the time honored art . of place-kicking Wednesday afternoon. At least half a dozen of the backs and also End Vic Reginato demonstrated ability in the con version and field goal department. The drill was Tex Oliver's attempt to find someone to fill the big shoes of Jim Nicholson, who last year booted three field goals to tie for national honors. One of the most promising place kickers Wednesday was Doug Ca ven, halfback from Eugene high. Caven's left foot was good for numerous extra points in his Axe men days and he was splitting the cross-bars consistently Wednesday. Wednesday's practice stint for the Wcbfoots was again compara tively light, due to the sultry weather. Signal drill took up a good portion of the time. Mrs. Carl Field Captures 'McCool' Golf Trophy Wednesday Mrs. Carl Field won the "Mc Cool " trophy at the Kugene Coun try club Wednesday afternoon when she completed her fourth round of match Nassau play with 7Kj points out of a possible 12.

P A crushing right to the jaw sent little Bob Pastor to his knees, dazed and helpless, in the 11th round at Briggs stadium last night, and Champion Joe Louis had snuffed out one more fighter who made the mistake of facing him the second time. The blow so numbed Pastor's senses that he didn t hear as the erav-haired referee, Sam Hennes sey, tolled 10. They had to lift h m to his tired legs, ana ne mumbled apologetically: "I didn't see the punch. I didn't see it com ing at all. It must have been a deeply sat isfying victory for the big, vacant-faced negro, who was de fending his title for the first time before cheering "home folks," a great number of them of his own race. Joe looked as nearly happy as he ever looks. Pastor Down Five Times He had knocked the New York Jewish boy down five times in the first two rounds, and then, alter what he described as a "breath ing spell," had dropped him with a single blow, clean and neat. It was what he had dreamed of do ing ever since the night 30 months ago that Pastor had danced around and taunted him in Madi son Square Garden. Some of the experts were say ing after the fight that Joe wasn't the Brown Bomber of old, else he never would have let Pastor get away from him temporarily after he had slugged him to the canvas repeatedly at the outset of the battle. They thought the champ's legs looked tired and that he was befuddled in the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds, all of which Pastor won. But Joe laughed at that. "I knew I was in there for a 20 round fight," he said in the usual Louis dialect, which sometimes is exaggerated. "I wasn't in any hurry at all after I hit him so much there at the start. But when I sat down at the end of the tenth I felt strong and fresh, so I told "Chappie" (Jack Blackburn, his trainer) that I would get him the next round. Didn't I, Chappie?" Not a Brutal Fieht "Thass right," said Blackburn, solemnly. It wasn't a particularly brutal fight. Pastor, who weighed 183 and spotted Louis 17 pounds, came out of it with a gash on his left eye-lid and a slightly bruised face. Louis had a mouse under his left eye. Pastor got in some pretty good licks, first and last. Once, in the eighth round, he stood Louis up against the ropes and whaled him right smartly. In fact, long after the scrap was over, he kent in sisting to his manager, Jimmy Johnston: "I can punch with that guy, Pop." Loitis in all probability will not pull on the gloves again until he fights Tony Galento next summer. He's about fought himself out of opponents, for one thing, and he has his eye on his income tax, for another. Igoe Leads County State Loop Batters Titcher-Outfielder Pete Igoe of Eugene was Lane county's top batsman in the tatc league base ball campaign now on its last lap. Although Silvcrton. Bend and Toledo are still in the scramble for the league pennant, Eugene and Hills Creek wound up their schedules 10 days ago. Igoe, a University of Oregon junior, rapped out 10 hits in 22 trips to the plate for a handsome .455 average. Howard Parks. Hills Creek first baseman and outfield er, played in almost twice as many games, batted more than twice as many times and slapped out more than twice as many hits, however, in attaining his .385 average. Parks hit safely on 25 of 65 platter journeys. Seven Eugene regulars batted .300 or better, which is indication that the Athletics' unhappy stand ing in both halves of the race was not entirely due to the stick de partment.

For days the two have been sep arated by the smallest of margins, unable to make a decisive gesture. This situation was emphasized Wednesday as Bucky Walters pit ched the Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Phillies his 26th of the season and the Redbirds swarmed over the Brooklyn Dodgers, 10-4, to maintain their stern vigil, games out of first place. The day wasn't static through out the circuit, however, because the Chicago Cubs lost to the New SEE CINCINNATI STORY PAGE 14 Bevans Hurls No-No Game For Wenatchee WENATCHEE, Wash., Sept. 21. (U.RI Bill Bevans, pitched the Wenatchee Chiefs back into contention for Western Interna tional league playoff honors Wed nesday night with a no-hit, no-run job against the Tacoma baseball crew. Wenatchee won 8-0. It was the first victory for the Chiefs in four starts against the Tigers, who finished second at the conclusion of the regular 1939 campaign. Bevans received excellent sup port, one error putting a Tacoma man on base. His teammates, meanwhile, landed on Floyd Ise kite for 10 hits.

Ilaki, Clayton In Mat Battle Armory Scene Of Mat Extravaganza Tonight COMPLETE PROGRAM Main Event Prince Ilaki vs. King Kong Clayton. Semi Final Eddie' Roberts vs. Verne Clark. Opener Mike Stanpolis vs. Babe Small. Referee Elton Owen. King Kong Clayton, the Cincin nati negro who was brought here for the sole purpose of "beating up" on one of our uncontrolable villains. Babe Small, will have an opportunity Thursday night to en trench himself as the outstanding contender for the Pacific coast light-heavyweight champion. The be-muscled battler meets the title holder. Prince Ilaki, in the head line attraction of Promoter Herb Owen's armory mat show in a non-title match. Two other outstanding matches will precede the main event, matches that have the cauliflower earmarks of making the program a three-star affair. Mike Stanpolis Makes Debut Opening the show will be a skirmish between Mike Stanpolis, highly-touted Greek youngster, and Small, the 200-pound-plus villain. Stanpolis comes here with a great reputation after less than a year in the professional ranks. He was forced to leave his Simon pure brotherhood in order to find competition and a living. Stan polis a few years ago, when just out of high school, won the east Additional Sports PAGE 14 coast middleweight, junior light- heavyweight and light-heavy weight championships as a repres entative of the Camden, N. J. YMCA. He has advanced rapidly in the pro ranks that he barely missed being named among the first 10 by the N.W.A. In Small Mike will be meeting about as tough a "trial horse Owen could find. Should he defeat the Polish meanie by a clear-cut decision he will be made as far as local mat followers are concerned. Clark Gets First Action Verne Clark will get his first action, outside of officiating, since returning to the northwest more than a month ago. Seeking a match with a top-ranking matman, Clark will find just that in Eddie Rob erts, one of the most durable grap piers ever to appear here. The Oklahoman is campaigning for a title match with Ilaki in hopes of regaining the belt he once wore. The Ilaki-Clayton match will feature a meeting between matmen who have yet to suffer a local defeat. Ilaki has twice successfully defended his title against Roberts and Ernie Piluso. Clayton, although being held to a draw by Bob Com mings . last week, has defeated Small and won his after-match in a recent "battle royal." Florence High Opens Second Grid Season Against Reed sport FLORENCE, Sept. 2 (Special) If enthusiasm means anything, the Siuslaw union high school is to have an interesting football season which opens Saturday of this week with a game at Reedsport. Twenty boys have turned out for football and to work under the new coach, W. L. Britton, graduate of Pacific, who is in his first year of teaching. So many of the boys of the school wanted to take up football, that three new suits had to be ordered. Seven games already have been lined up, including the Reedsport one this Saturday; one with Ban don here on September 30; a game at Newport, Oct. 14; Taft, here, on Oct. 21; Bandon. there. Oct. 28; Waldport, here Nov. 11: and Wald port. there, Thanksgiving day. Negotiations are under way for a game with Siletz, either on Oct. 7 or Nov. 18, the only two open dates. The squad is comparatively light. Charley Bernhardt, tackle, being, the heavyweight of the team at 170 pounds. This year's captain is Don' Rice. The Reedsport game, Saturday, will find the boys out in their new headgear nnd jerseys. j Tentative line-up announced by! Coach Britton includes his seven lettermen as follows: Dick Hast-j ings and Irving F.rlandson, ends;! John Pitman and Charley Bern hardt, tackles; Irvie Gardiner and Kenny Hatch, guards; Don Rice. No. 4 back and ball carrier: and as new men on the team, Lowell Her sey, center; Don Faulkner, quar terback; Verus Kezar, wing back; Bob Chapman, fullback. Other athletics are planned at the school this year, including box ing and wrestling. Because so many of the boys are out for foot ball, basketball will come late. Coach Britton is a boxing enthusi ast, having been Oregon A. A. U. heavyweight boxing champion for three years. While at Pacific he played football for three years, also went out for intramural basketball. Patty Berg Shoots 71 In Portland Appearance PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 21.
