Seattle Evens Series
With Los Angeles
(Associated Press)
Lns Anceles and Seat'tlc were
even today in tlieir half of the
post-season Shaughnessy playoffs
in the Pacific coast Dasecaii
league, hut Sacramento was two
up on the San Francisco Seals.
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.

COTTAGE GROVE. 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.

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.

Challenger Wins Three
Rounds With Barrage
By GAYLE TALBOT
DETROIT, Sept. 21. 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. Athletics within the charmed
circle, in addition to Igoe. includ

For days the two have been sep

This situation was emphasized
Wednesday as Bucky Walters pit

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

needs but one victory to clinch
the playoff crown.

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.
