)- National Loop Hag Rivals Hit Mat for Payoff Series Br tha Aaaoclattd Praaa) The knock down, drag out bat tle being waged by the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers (or the National league pennant comes to a head today. The arch rivals open a three game series in St Louis. The pennant-hungry foes will clash twice today, once in the afternoon and again at night. The third game will be played under the lights tomorrow. The combatants tuned up yesterday for their vital series with victories. The Cards knocked off the Phils, 7-5, and the Dodgers sacked the Chica go Cubs, 5-0, to remain a game and a half behind the Red Birds. Vflff The important National league series takes the spotlight away from the American league where the New York Yanks lead by three games. The Yanks turned back Chicago, 3-1, yesterday while the runner-up Boston Red Sox eliminated Cleveland's de . fending champion Indians from contention, 5-2. Big Don Newcombe (15-7) has been nominated to pitch the day game for Brooklyn against the Cards' Max Lanier (4-3). Preacher Roe (13-5) has been selected to work the night game for the challenging Dodgers against Harry (The Cat) Bre cheen (13-9). Lean Jack Banta pitched the Dodgers to victory over Chicago. He blanked the Cubs on five hits in besting the Dodger-tamer Johnny Schmitz. Brooklyn broke a scoreless tie with two out in the sixth on sin gles by Ed Miksis, Carl Furillo, walks to Jackie Robinson and Gill Hodges and a two-run sin gle by Luis Olmo. The Dodgers added two more markers in the eighth, Robinson stealing home to climax the rally.

Bub- The Greeks Had A Word for Teams Like This: Lousy Washington, Sept. 11 The Washington Senators have quietly but efficiently gone about making themselves the worst Washington club in 40 Tears. They clinched that unfortu nate record last night when they lost to .the St Louis Browns, 15 to 6. If they win every game from now on out (and the odds, roughly, are (462 to 1 that they won't), they stiil won't be able to win as many games as the 1919 and the 19)8 Washington teams did. Each of those won SC. The present Senators have won 45 and have only 10 games to go. The Senators have won on ly 11 of their past 61 games, and only 14 of their last tl. Stayton Jayvees Look for Added Football Games Stayton Stayton high has formed a Junior varsity football team which has scheduled a number of games and is in the market for others.

A club spokesman said that Musial is expected to play against the Dodgers today. Allie Reynolds and Joe Page teamed up to pitch the Yanks to victory over the White Sox. Rey nolds, who left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh, gained his 17th victory. Lefty Bob Kuzava allowed the Yanks only three hits but he walked ten and the free tickets cost him the game. The Yanks scored twice in the second on a single, double, ground out and wild pitch. Kuzava forced home the third run in the seventh when he walked Billy Johnson with the bases loaded. Lefty Mel Parnell turned in his 24th victory in besting Bob Lemon, Cleveland's 20 game winner. The Philadelphia Athletics turned back the Detroit Tigers, 8-8, on Pete Suder's three-run eighth inning homer.

He was fired, he said. What's more, Isbell snapped, the Colt management didn't even tell him about it. He read about it in the newspapers. The Colts announced Mon day that Isbell had resigned "for the good of the team" and that President and General Manager Walter Driskill was taking over for the remainder of the season. But this is the story Isbell told: "I didn't quit. I was told by a meeting by t h e team's board of directors that I was still head coach. Then I walk- ed out on the street and saw the headlines in the paper that said I was out. I called the board of directors and they said it was true. That was the first I knew about it."

Oaks Whip Bevos, Pace Stars in Stretch Drive San Francisco, Sept. 21 U.R) j Oakland matched victories with Hollywood last night, but the Stars have the Pacific coast lea gue pennant all but cinched with a four-game lead and six con tests to go. The Oaks, still shattered from their double loss to Los Angeles last Sunday, had to rely on ninth inning heroics to squeeze past the seventh-place Portland Bea vers 3-2. The Stars entertained Seattle in the southland and George (Pinky) Woods put on a three-hit exhibition that blanked the Rainiers 4-0. In other league games, the last-place Los Angeles Angels went 10 innings to trim the San Diego Padres 6-5, and Sacra mento downed San Francisco 6-2 with a four run rally in the eighth. For eight innings at Oak land last night, the Beavers looked like they were going to deal the deathblow to the Acorns' all but faded pennant hopes. Oakland's Loyd Chris topher opened the scoring in the second with his 20th home run, but in the fifth Eddy Ba sinski tied the score with a solo four-bagger. Then the Beavers took a one-run lead. Portland h u r 1 e r Harold Saltzman protected his mar gin till the ninth, when the Oaks pyramided three singles and a walk into two runs. Al len Gettel, ninth-inning re liefer, was credited with the victory. The Hollywood Stars gave Pinky Woods an early lead by scoring once in the second, twice in the third and again in the fifth, the last on four sue cessive singles. Wood in the meantime, was retiring the Seattle lineup al most in order. He gave up only two hits in eight innings and his shutout was threatened only once. In the ninth, the Rainiers put two men on base with two out, but Woods himself stopped the spurt by fielding the final out. It was his 23rd victory. PCL Standings (By thr A-urxUted Prtu) W L Pet.

U0 lnn- innnt Bv HAL WOOD I San Kranciro, Sept. 21 (UP If anyone wants to write a song ith the euphonious theme In it of "Fell, Bell and Stelle," they may be able to put It to good use In the Rose Bowl on New Year's day. Fell, Bell and Stelle are a trio of cuties who operated in the hopped-up University of Oregon backfield and if anv Pacific coast conference football team wants to go to the New Year's classic it is probable it will first have to reckon with Messrs. Fell Bell and Stelle. Right now the Oregon team which t romped on what was supposed to be the best post war St. Mary's team, 24-7, is being rated the niftiest thing to show in these parts for some time. And that includes last year's I'niversity of Cali fornia Rose Bowl team. Stelle. although inclined to be a bit nervous sometimes, is the finest T-formation quarter back to show around here with the possible exception of Eddie Lebaron of College of Pacific; and Franie Albert, the star of the professional San Francisco Forty-Niners. Stelle was clever at faking that ball; he did it well; and he handled it expertly while making a full spin in the backfield before the handoff. Bell and Fell were scat-backs who romped through and around the lines at will, ably assisted by Johnny McKay and Bob Sanders. However, the Oregon team isn't all offense. "I knew I had a good back field before the season start ed," Coach Jim Aiken told United Press. "But I was doubtful about the defense. However, Dick Daugherty and Dick Patrick did a whale of a job in line-backing especial ly when you consider they are sophomores." While the ball-packing caught the eyes of the average specta tors, it was the defense that brought raves from the coaches. Joe Verducci of St. Mary's; Len Casanova of Santa Clara and others in the stands marveled at Aiken's "protective wall." "This team isn't polished yet." said Aiken, "and we have a lot Bearcats Plan To Rebound in CVCE Go Friday Determined to erase the stigma caused by last week's 19 to 0 (humping from the University of Idaho Vandals at Moscow, Willamette univer sity's Bearcats are endeavor ing to smooth up their attack as they prepare for Friday night's encounter with Cen tral Washington at Ellens burg. Coach Chester Stackhouse and the squad will leave by bus Thursday afternoon for the scene of conflict. Central Washington de cisioned Willamette last year 13 to 7 but lost to the Port land Pilots last week 32 to 0. The Pilots, who do not engage the Bearcats this season, are known to be exceptionally strong.

It was the consensus of op inion around here after the first look at eight college teams that Oregon stacked up a bit better than either Stan ford or California or College of Pacific, the winning teams. and would outclass most of the losers Santa Clara, San Jose State, and I'SF, not to men tion St. Mary's. With a flock of sophomores irf his lineup, the chances appeari pretty good that the Ducks will improve with every game.

Pep Inks for Garden Bout After Kayo Win Waterbury, Conn., Sept. 21 (U.R) Featherweight Champion Willie Pep, after treating his Connecti cut home fans to a torrid title defense on a chilly night, will make his next ring appearance in cozy Madison Square Garden on Oct. 28 or Nov. 11. In semi-frigid Municipal sta dium last night, Pep kept his 126-pound crown by scoring a technical knockout over young Eddie Compo of New Haven, Conn., at 41 seconds of the sev enth round before 10,722 top coated and shivering fans. Sullivan Loses Bout on TKO as Peeper Is Shut Portland, Ore., Sept. 21 (u.PJ Lloyd Marshall of Sacramento, Calif., gained a sixth-round de cision over John L. Sullivan of Portland before 1492 fans in a scheduled 10-round boxing match Tuesday night. Although the boxers fought on nearly-even terms until the sixth, Marshall managed to ham mer away at Sullivan's eye until it closed. Marshall was awarded a TKO. Paul Kennedy of Longview, Wash., regained his strength af ter a near-fatal seventh round to finish the 10-round match with a decision against Davey Ball of Bakersfield, Calif. In other bouts Johnny Bruce of Mcdford, Ore., and Larry Rea gan of Hcrmiston, Ore., battled four rounds to a draw. Don Doyle of Portland and Ralph Friend of Ontario, Ore., fought savagely, but they, too, ended up in a draw in their four-roun der. Hal Cliff of Portland won his four-rounder on a foul by Lou Nunes of Los Angeles. Pep, who observed his 27 th birthday on Monday, tagged 21-year-old Compo with the first kayo and the second de feat of his five-year career. Wee Willi e Black-haired, hatchet-faced and lightning fast floored Compo three times and practically closed both of his eyes before Referee Bill Conway mercifully stopped the massacre. Despite surprisingly cold weather and despite two pre vious postponements, the sche duled 15-round bout drew a gate of $39,931 just about what Promoter Rocco Mara expected. Matchmaker Al Weill of New York's Internati o n a 1 Boxing club said he immediately open ed negotiations to match Willie for a non-title bout with Light weight Maxie Docusen of New Orleans or Featherweight Ray Famechon of France at the Gar den.
