Vancouver Takes Second
Straight from Yaks, 3-2
(Br the Assoctsted Press)
A 10-inning 3 to 2 victory
over Yakima last night moved
the Vancouver Capilanos to
within one game of the Western
International .league playoff
championship and $1,500 top bo
nus money.
Vancouver's Bob Snyder, a 2
game winner, grabbed the con
test for the Caps with an out

AAunger Leads Cards to Win
Over Giants; BoSox Climb
New York, Sept. 24 (UR)Blg
George Munger's impassioned
pitch to relive his days of by
gone glory powered the St. Louis
Cardinals another step closer
to the National league pennant
today.
The rifling red-head from
Houston, Tex., has become the
payoff pitcher on the Card staff.
A lone right-hander among a
squad of lefties, he has won 14
and lost but six. He licked the
Dodgers during that mid-July
three - game Cardinal sweep
which hoisted the Cards into the
league lead.
Last night big George deliv
ered his greatest performance
of all a one-hitter against the
New York Giants. He faced
only 28 men in the 1 to 0 tri
umph, and only Sid Gordon's
single in the second kept him
from a no-hit game. Joe Lafa
ta popped out immediately af
terward. The Cards got their own run
In the first. Stan Musial started
to swing at a curve, but changed
his mind and pulled back his
bat. The ball hit the bat anyway
and bounded down the left-field
line for a double. Nippy Jones
then socked him in with a single
to right-center.
That run almost stretched the
Cardinal lead to two and a half
games, for the Brooklyn Dodg
ers stared defeat in the face
three times before they scored

when it lost to such as South

The Indians can pass, receive,
run. The line is tough and, for
a change, some pretty fair re
placements are on hand. Coach
Schwartz is named to ride high,
wide and handsome after a cou
ple of lean seasons.
After Stanford, here is the
way we pick the race:

3 Oregon.
4 California.

6 Oregon State.
7 Washington State
8 UCLA.
9 Idaho.
10 Montana.
Southern California necessar

always are. Their schedule Is
favorable, too. They by-pass

the teams get under way, and
open Sept. 24 against Navy.

Saturday against tough San

Oregon State has a team of

whether the new coaching sys

Phil Sorboe has an experienc
