The Brooklyn Dodgers ire

league pennant tight today
thanki to Preacher Roe, a skin
ny lefthander with plenty of
heart and pitching savvy.
Roe kept the Dodgers' finger
in the pie last night when he
pitched his mates to a 5-0 tri
umph over the league-leading St.
Louis Cardinals in the night por
tion of a day-night double
header. The victory was "must" as
the Cards had scored a 1-0

While the spotlight centered
on the Card-Dodger double
header, the New York Yankees'
American league lead was cut to
two games over the Boston Red
Sox. The Yanks were upset, 10
9, by the Chicago White Sox
while the Red Sox downed the
Cleveland Indians, 9-6.
Roe's excellent job reduced
Brooklyn's deficit to a game
and a half again and evened
the pressure for tonight's
third and final game of the
scries.
The Dodgers are expected to
send Ralph Branca (13-5) or
Lefty Joe Hatten (11-8) against
the Cards' Red Munger (15-6) in
the series finale tonight.
Roe limited the Cards to two
singles and faced only 28 men
in besting Harry Brecheen, Ted
Wilks and Al Brazle.
Brecheen held the Dodgers
scoreless until the fourth when
they clouted him and Wilks for
all five runs.
With one out, Carl Furillo
singled. Jackie Robinson, who
- failed to hit in six tries during
the day, walked. Hodges sing
led to score Furillo and Luis
Olmo followed with a triple
that ended Brecheen.
The Cards won the nerve-
tingling day game in the ninth
inning when Joe Garagiola
singled with the bases loaded
and none out off Don Newcombe.
Lanier allowed only five
singles in recording his fifth
straight victory and his best
since his return from Mexico.
The Yanks blew a 8-3 lead
in losing to Chicago. Gus Zer
nial climaxed an uphill battle
with a game-winning three
run, pinch-hit homer -in the
ninth inning off Joe Page.
Boston was forced to come
from behind to beat the Indians,
winning in the seventh on Ted
Williams' 41st homer. Vern
Stephens' double, a sacrifice and
barilla s fly.
Outside of the pennant races,
the chief excitement was pro
vided by Pittsburg's Ralph
Kiner. Kiner belted his 51st
and 52nd home runs of the
season as the Pirates bowed,
9-7, to the Boston Braves.
Kiner is two games ahead of
the National's record pace of 56
set by Chicago's Hack Wilson in
1930 but he's five games behind
the gait of Babe Ruth, who es
tablished the major league re
cord of 60 homers for the 1927
New York Yankees.
In other National league
games, the Chicago Cubs and the
Philadelphia Phils divided
double header as did the New
York Giants and the Cincinnati
Reds.
The Phils beat the Cubs, 3-1
in the opener but lost the night
cap. 9-6. The Reds shaded the
Giants, 5-4, in ten innings but
the Giants won the windup, 5-2,
in seven frames.
Art Houtteman pitched the
Detroit Tigers to a 4-1 victory
over Philadelphia and Dick
Weik hurled Washington to a
7-0, three-hit triumph over St.
Louis in the remaining Ameri
can league activity.

OFFERS NO ALIBIS
Naturally no coach likes to see his team beaten by a 79 to 0
score, or anything like that astronomical figure, but Chester Stack
house returned to his football chores after the trip to Moscow
offering no excuses. As a matter of fact the score, high as was,
does not constitute a record insofar as Bearcat competition is con
cerned. That record was hung up back in 1925 when Willamette,
then under the tutelage of Guy L. Rathbun, went to Seattle where
they took an unmerciful 108 beating from the University of
Washington Huskies. A few years later the 'Cats coached by Spec
Keene became known as the "Boys of '76" after they had been
trounced by Oregon State 76 to 0. In each instance Willamette
survived scholastically and athletically and we do not expect the
institution to fold up under the most recent whipping.
A BIT OF EXPLANATION
While Coach Stackhouse offered no alibis, it should be
pointed out that he had no knowledge of his men prior to his
arrival on the campus last August. Furthermore opportunity
for instilling his system of play was limited. On the other
hand the Vandals had spent 17 consecutive days, including
Sundays, under the lash of Coach Dixie Howell. Each day
the squad was put through two sessions of three hours each
for a total of 102 hours. Since Howell has a squad that in
cludes 28 lettermen, 10 of whom are seniors and 18 juniors,
the oft heard statement that "this is Idaho's year" has some
basis in fact. A fairly good idea as to the capabilities of the
Vandals as well as the Webfoots should come out of next Sat
urday's game at Eugene between Oregon and Idaho.
THAT SUBSTITUTION RULE
After being socked a number of times for substituting players
at the wrong time (according to the rules), several football coaches
have taken time out to study the new regulations. The new rules
state that the only time a substitution can be made is when the
ball is dead, that is when the ball changes from one team to the
other, after an incompleted forward pass, is run or kicked out of
bounds, etc. Substitutions at other times means a time out and
after a certain number of those, a five yard penalty is assessed
All of which means that it will be a bit difficult for a coach to
substitute at strategic moments in a tight game. The penalty is
not too severe when a team is about to punt and the coach wants
to send in his favorite kicker. It would seem that coaches as well
as officials should take a refresher course in rules each fall.
BEATING THE DRUM
Under the heading "It never happened to an Oregon team
before", Dick Strife of the Eugene Register Guard, prints a
few quotes from San Francisco papers following the Webfoots'
decisive defeat of St. Mary's. In view of the fact that Bay
area sports writers have never been able to raise their vision
to encompass anything north of the Golden Gate bridge, their
eulogies probably should be taken with a grain of salt. Bill
Leiser of the SF Chronicle reported: "The team (Oregon)
showed just about everything in the book including a danger
ous running attack, passing if needed, punting, point kicking
after touchdown and field gosling." '
Corvallis, Sept. 22 (fP) Ore
gon State college gridders may
be in for an extra tough time
Saturday if yesterday's scrim
mage against Utah plays Is an
example.
A reserve OSC squad ran
rough-shod over the varsity
with both ground and aerial
assaults geared to the Utah at
tack. One cheering note of the
day was return of Jim Hanker,
veteran left tackle. Hanker
missed the UCLA game last
week because of a leg Injury.
Slugger Needs a
Homer Per Game
To Top Ruth Mark
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 22 (U.R
Ralph Kiner must hit a hom
er per game to beat Babe
Ruth's record of 60 for a sin-,
gle season, but he seems an
odds-on bet to erase Hack
Wilson's National league rec
ord of 56.
Kiner, the cloutin' Pirate,
hammered his 51st and 52nd
circuit drives last night al
though Pittsburgh lost a 9 to
7 decision to the Boston
Braves. That bettered his best
previous year, 1947, when he
hit 51.
Now he needs only four
home runs to tie Wilson, six to
tie the right-handed hitters'
record of 58 held by Jimmy
Fox and Hank Greenberg, and
eight to tie Ruth's record.
Kiner has nine games left
to play. In September h has
hit 14 homers in 20 games. At
that pace he will hit six more
before the season ends.
STELLE WELL LIKED
Babe Is Favored
To Hold Women's
Open Golf Title
Washington. Sept. 22 U
Bab Didrikson Zaharias was
favored to retain her title as
the women's National Open golf
championship got under way to
day. But she was expected to en
counter stiff competition from a
field of 59 other top women
golfers set to tee off at the
Prince Georges Country club.
Among Mrs. Zaharias' chief
competitors was Patty Berg of
Minneapolis, the 1948 open
champion. In warm-up rounds
yesterday, Mrs. Zaharias tour
ed 18 holes in 73, one over par.
Miss Berg shot a sub-par 35 for
the first nine holes.
Also in the field are Betty
Jameson of San Antonio, Tex.,
1947 open champ and three
semi-finalists in last week's Na
tional amateur tournament
Dorothy Kielty of Long Beach.
Calif., Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta,
and 15-year-old Marlen Bauer
of Los Angels.
As for Earl Stelle, Art Rosenbaum of the Chronicle declared
"a cutie at quarterback, made 45,000 customers aware that "(1)
Oregon is a Rose Bowl contender, (2) Oregon may have an idea
last year in believing it deserved the bid over California, and (3)
most pertinent to the lovely evening, that Oregon was vastly
superior to St Mary's in this game." "San Franciscans got a pre
view last night of the football team which could easily wind up
in the Rose Bowl come January 2."
COULD BE LET DOWN
Coach Jim Aiken apparently has the facility for firing his
ball club and keeping It a fairly hot temperature throughout
the season. But there Is always the possibility of a let down
in effort after a fairly easy win. Those who are looking for a
Idaho win Saturday overlook the fact that Willamette was
not nearly ready for a foe as tough as the Vandals proved to
be. The Bearcats had not been able to master Chester Stack
house's offensive strategy and this fact made the Vandals look
good. Nevertheless the lopsided win gave Idaho a tremendous
lift and they will face the Webfoots in Eugene Saturday after
noon full of confidence. Look for a tough tussle on Hayward
field.
