Through the combined efforts
of Sam Goldwyn, Hollywood
l
LOU GEHRIG
producer who is credited with
some of Hollywood's most beauti
ful creations; Paul Gallico, au
thor who wrote the now-famous
"Farewell to Sports"; Mrs. Lou
Gehrig, courageous wife of "The
Iron Horse," the life of Lou Geh
rig will be told on the screen.
Gallico will write the story and
Mrs. Gehrig will supervise the
production to assure the authen
ticity of the story.
There has been no individual in
. baseball history who has earned
a better right to be immortalized.
' When Gehrig retired from the
game in 1939 it would have re
quired a small book to tabulate his
"records, the most notable being
his consecutive game stretch of
2130, starting in June of 1925 and
'ending in May of 1939. He had
the remarkable life-time major
league batting average of .340.
Christy Walsh, ace publicist who
handled the business affairs of
men sports notables as Gehrig
and Ruth, is now making the
sports and movie world conscious
of the coming production through
the medium of the nation's sports
.pages. He has invited sports
writers and baseball men the
world over to aid in the selection
. of an actor capable of filling Lou
Gehrig's shoes, able to portray on
the screen not only his baseball
prowess and football talent (he was
:m star gridman at Columbia Be
. fore joining the Hartford team in
the Eastern league back in 1921)
but his courageous, self-sacrificing
strict life. There is real drama
L In the story.
. Not being an ardent movie fol
; lower, we were at a loss to find
our candidate. We eventually se
lected Ronald Reagan . . . The
fellow, as we remember him, isn't
bad actor, has the physique to
fill Gehrig's No. 4 shirt, and has
a sports background.
Among other candidates men
tioned by other members of the
press are Gary Cooper, possibly
because of his recent baseball
film, and Spencer Tracy. If Gold
, wyn is going into the "big money"
cast we'd say Tracy by all means.
; There is enough drama in Gehrig's
. life story to call for acting the
. calibre of Tracy although the man
.is considerably smaller and hasn't
-the handsome features of Gehrig.
.Then again, how would Cooper
i or Tracy look fielding at first
base? Would they survive a slide
into second base and look like
anything at all swinging the old
hickory stick?
Granted the film wouldn't be all
baseball, but wouldn't it be
worthy of consideration to sacri-
. fice a bit of acting for more base.
ball poise and performance. There
must be some young fellow with
looks and a small bit of acting
ability knocking around the ma-
ijors or in the bushes. Maybe our
'own Joe Gordon could handle the
job. We'd wager that Joe could
i give a good reproduction of Geh
'rig at first and at the plate. . . .
,'And he's smart enough to learn
i to act.
' As for filling in the gridiron part
!of Gehrig's life, Gordon could do
an adequate job. A Portland high
.school player before coming to the
' University of Oregon, Gordon was
a varsity candidate until the New
York Yankees management, who
ihad strings attached to the second
baseman, showed thumbs down on
football.
, Of course the whole scheme Is
to publicize the picture and there
will more than likely be consider
ably more reams of copy written
! about the casting of Lou Gehrig
, than of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone
'With the Wind" ... But even
'though a gag, it's a grand gag and
.one that will interest baseball
'fans and there are millions of
'em no end . . Having seen
Gehrig as ji rookie back in the
mld-1920's before coming west to
become a lumber baron, we have
a particular Interest in seeing the
picture well done. . . . The fact
that Mr. Goldwyn, Mrs. Gehrig
and Mr. Gallico stand to make a
considerable bit of money from
the picture, we're still for it, 100
per cent
Lou Gehrig Plaza, located up In
the Bronx near the Grand Con
course, not far from the Yankee
Stadium, Is a permanent monu
ment to his memory, but we'll
wager the memory of the screen
production "The Life of Lou Geh
rig," if well done, will be as last
ing as the "Birth of a Nation."

Klamath Falls Pelicans at Civic
Stadium, and Henry Kuchera's

Tide travels to Albany for a meet
ing with Tommy Swanson's Bull
dogs. The Pelicans, who provided Eu
gene with a 30-0 whitewashing at
Klamath Falls last season, have
already posted two victories 19-18
over Chico, Cal., and 7-6 over
Grant of Portland. Bob Leonard,
Klamath sports writer, wired us
the other evening for Eugene's
opening-game site, and no doubt
Hammer was disappointed in
learning the Axemen were open
ing agaist his club.
And the Albany Bulldogs can
be no pushover, the No-Name

Bob Parke's Oregon City Pioneers
in a league opener.
Kramer might do well to build
his defense around attempting to

veteran Medford scribe says,
'Foster is rapid, shifty and is the

that is liable to get away at any

we predict he will score a hatful

than ever to go up to the Boston
Red Sox again. . . . The former

to a 5-4 victory over the American

team in the final league game of
the season, allowing eight hits,
striking out five, walking three
and batting in one run on two hits

Brooklyn Tops St.
Dodgers Down
Phillies Twice
Chicago Cubs Rally to
Upset Cardinals, 7 to 3
(Associated Press
Those pennant-bound Brooklyn
Dodgers had no run-ins with any
umpires at Shibe Park Saturday.
Instead they ran right over the
last-place Phllles in both ends of
a doubleheader to Increase their
first-place lead over the losing Car
dinals in the torrid National league
race to two games with only seven
left to play.
After Whitlow Wyatt, aided by
Hugh Casey in the ninth, had
pitched the Brooks to a 3-to-2 vic
tory in a thrilling first game, Klr
by Higbe duplicated Wyatt's feat
for an easy 6-to-l triumph in the
nightcap. Wyatt gave up only
three hits and Higbe four.
Thus, in an atmosphere of vir
tual quiet except for several lndl
cents when excited Brooklyn
rooters jumped onto the field to
pat their favorites on the back
and when Cookie Lavagetto acci
dentally bowled over a photo
grapher, Wyatt and Higbe each
chalked up his 21st victory of the
season for the Flatbush Flock.
Until he tired with one out In
the ninth and was replaced by
Casey, Wyatt pitched one of the
greatest games of his career. He
gave five bases on balls, but he
was supreme in the pinches. He
got 12 Phils on strikeouts, reach
ing his peak' by fanning Micky
Livingston, Frank Hoerst, Danoy
Murtaugh and Stan Benjamin in
a row in the third and fourth inn
ings. 6 -Run Rally by Cubs
Higbe had a comparatively easy
time in the afterpiece, the Phils
getting their lone tally on War
ren's homer In the lower left field
stands in the third. Until Litwhiler
opened the ninth with a single to
left, Higbe had a three hitter
Warren's round tripper in the
third, Marty's Single With two out
in the first and Benjamin's Single
with two out in the fifth.
The Chicago Cubs, playing. In
St. Louis, all but blasted the strug
gling Cardinals Out of the National
league pennant race with a ter
rific six-run explosion In the
ninth Inning after the Cards ap
parently had the all-important
game in the bag.
The crushing 7-to-3 defeat,
coming on the heels of Brooklyn's
twin victory over the plastic Phil
lies, knocked the Redbirds two
full games behind the furious
Dodgers. It left them with nothing
more than scant hope that some
miracle might upset 'dem fighting
bums" In their seven remaining
games against the two last-place
clubs. .
Leon Lon Warneke, who had
beaten every team in the league
this year except Chicago, was
plodding along in his most master
ful fashion until the fatal ninth,
having allowed only four hits.
Then Phil Cavarretta, drove a
hard single against the rlghtfield
screen and only a powerful throw
by Rookie Ervin Dusak kept him
from going to second.
Relief Hurler Too Late
The ladies' day crowd of 18,
652 rabid rooters seemed to sense
the tragedy about to befall the
struggling pennant contenders,
who had given the Brooks an ex
citing run for it since April. There
was anguished silence in the
stands as Warneke faced the next
batter, Chunky Dom Dallesandrd,
The dangerous little fellow boubl-
ed to left field and Bill Nicholson
walked to fill the bases with none
out Babe Dahlgren forced Nichol
son at second, scoring Cavarreta,
That left the gate still wide
open and five runs poured through,
almost before Manager Billy
Southworth could holler for help.
Lou Stringer s double over the
head of Terry Moore, scored Dal
lassandro with the tying run and
sent Warneke to the showers.
He was relieved by Howard
Krist. Clyde McCullough was
passed purposely filling the bases
again. Bob Scheffing, came up as
a pinch-hitter, and smashed the
first pitch for a grand-slam home
run to climax the uprising.
Yankees Rally to Beat Sox
' Fischer went the distance In his
first start with the Giants, beating
the Boston Braves in the second
game of a doubleheader as the
Giants won two, 4-3 and 7-3.
The Cincinnati Reds took a 4
game lead over Pittsburgh In the
battle for third place by knocking
oft the Pirates in both ends of a
doubleheader. 2 to 1 and 7 to 3 on
tight pitching by Bucky Walters
and Paul Derringer.
An eight-inning six-run out
burst broke up a pitching battle
between Marlus Russo and cnar
ley Wagner and gave the New
York Yankees an 8-1 triumph over
the Boston Red Sox.
Joe Gordon's 24th homer, good

Scoring all their runs in the last

tory over the Detroit Tigers.

Junction City High
Prepares For Opener
JUNCTION CITY, Sept 20
(Special) Junction City football
players spent the first week of
practice getting in condition for a
tough two week's session of prac
tice before the first game of the
season at Springfield, October 3.
The "occupational" deferment
of assistant-coach Jesse Loffer has
eased the worries of Coach Frank
Thomas but he still must find
suitable replacements for seven
players who were lost by gradua
tion last year. Hardest spot to fill
will be that of center where both
the regular and reserve were lost.
Two guards, a tackle, a quarter
back, an end, and a halfback will
have to be groomed from a' limit
ed number of returning reserve
from last year. When a first string
is finally found, the team will be
weak in reserve material.
The Junction City team will
continue its usual lone-wolf
schedule, playing mostly teams on
the coast which are not in an
organized league although Spring
field and Cottage Grove are still
listed. Sweet Home and University
high, annual opponents, have can
celled games because of the form
