New York, Sept. 19 U.R) The
Philadelphia Athletics even up
their personal score today be
tween the New York Yankees
and the Boston Red Sox to the
detriment of baseball.
The A s will do that by pitch
ing "Nothing Ball" Phil March
ildon against the Yankees in
what figures to be a "gift game"
1o the blastless bombers.
Connie Mack figures that It
is "the thing to do." He used
Marchildon against Boston on
Sept. 2 and the Canadian was
clobbered heartily. The Yan
kees since howled bloody mur
der, demanding that Mack use
Marchildon against them in
this crucial final week as they
try to overhaul the Bosox.

Marchildon has pitched only
12 H innings all season and
hasn't started in 27 days.
Whether it is fair or not,
depends on whether you hap
pen to be a Yankee fan or a
Red Sox rooter. But trying to
look at it impartially, it does
n't seem like the best manner
in which to uphold baseball's
integrity.
The idea supposedly is to
throw your best at the leaders
particularly in this last bitter
week. And Marchildon is not the
best, but very close to the worst,
on the Athletic staff. Consider
his record.
In the first week of the sea
ion he pitched eight scoreless
innings against the Red Sox.
Then he hurt his arm and was
taken out. A week later he threw
two pitches against the Yankees,
and again was removed.
Tall Phil wasn't back again
until Memorial day, when he
pitched - to two Red Sox and
again had to be taken out. On
Aug. 26 the big righthander was
used against St. Louis in relief.
He pitched to four batters giv

treme caution is observed during the 20-day period beginning
October 1. "It is fine that so many will avail themselves of the
opportunity to enjoy this fine recreation, however, the very

Fire Hazards
Lockwood goes on to point out that "each hunter Is also
responsible for maintaining the habitat In which game ani
mals live. Fire must be In our minds constantly. How easy it
is for Just one small thoughtless act to destroy thousands of
acres of deer food! One campfire left nntended can destroy
j a whole watershed which, in turn, means not only loss of
valuable timber but means loss of trout streams and loss of
life-giving top soil as well. One cigarette stub flipped away
can mean hundreds of starving deer."
Greater Responsibility
"Better that we never get our buck than to destroy a human
life." Lockwoods statement continues. "We all know that one
fatality, even one accident, is Just one too many. We must keep

Bohler Returns
Son other than Roy Bohler, Ml man who served u foot
ball touch at Willamette In 1921 and 1022, heads the Chico
State Wildcat. 80, his presence here Saturday will be some
thing In the nature of a homecoming. Bohler, one f the
group of brothers who were prominent In Washington Stat
college athletics, succeeded R. L. "Matty" Matthews at
Willamette and had a big assignment In filling that gentle
man's shoes. In his first year with the Bearcats, Bottler's
team won only on gam whil losing live. Th following
way to Guy L. Rathbun who remained on Mi eampus Just
thr seasons befor Spec Keen began hi long reign ef IS
years.
Anxious To Please
"We ll stand the thing on end if that's what '.he fans want,"
laid Vern Gilmore, Salem high' athletic director as he an
nounced a shift in th gridiron at Waters field. Gilmo're ex
pressed the hop that the spectators would realize the high
school authorities arc faced with a difficult problem In working
out 1 suitable playing field. The new lineup, extending north
and south, parallel to and about 35 feet out from the third base
bleachers, -undoubtedly will be an improvement insofar as the
spectators are concerned. What effect it will have on the con
testants remains to be seen, for within th boundaries of the
playing field will be virtually all of the skinned portion of the
baseball diamond. A halfback who ploughs into the loam after a
fast start on the turf no doubt will get 1 new xperience. In
any event. George Emigh. business manager of the Salem Sen
ators, claims the seats along the west boundary will provide
'visibility equal to that secured by thos who in former years
paddled up and down th udelin.

Game
Joe DiMaggio, back in uniform after
being stricken by virus pneumonia, if
out against Boston Sept. 2. The
Red Sox belabored him for
five runs in one-third of an
inning. Since then it has been
generally acknowledged
among the Athletic players
that Phil "Just hasn't got it
any more."
But Connie bows io the Yan
kee screams and throws him in
today.
Why was he used so often
against Boston? Well, when he
did have it, the Bosox were a
team Phil could beat. His rec
ord was 11 wins against 10 loss
es. And the Yanks always had
the sign on him, previous to this
season beating him 13 times
against five times he stopped
them even when he had it.
If Connie was trying to
square himself with the Yan
kees, he did it excellently yes
terday. That old Yankee pow
er was a sephyr as the famed
"bombers" won on a walk, a
bunt and a balk. It must have
made the shades of Ruth and
Gehrig shudder.
Trailing 5 to 4 in the seventh.
the Yanks started on a single by
Tommy Henrich. Yogi Berra
popped up and Johnny Lindell
singled Henrich to second. Hank
Baur forced Lindell, the A'
best double play team in base
ball missing the twin kill. Ger
ry Coleman walked, filling the
bases. Billy Johnson walked,
forcing in the tying run. Rizzu-
to scored Bauer on a squeeze
bunt and then Alex Kellner
balked to score Coleman with
the game's final run which gave
the Yanks a 7 to 5 victory.
The Red Sox went into the
second league tie in less than
week last night when they lost
to Washington, 2 to 1, after the
Yankees beat Philadelphia.
That sets th stage for th fi
nal three games of the season.
Meanwhile, the equally tor
rid National league race contin

leading the Brooklyn Dodgers

New Haven, Conn., Sept.
29 ai Doctors kept the Yale
football squad under close
scrutiny today because one
player has developed infantile

The Fordh&m game, sched

Whether other games on the
varsity schedule, particularly
that against Columbia in New

would be called off remained
uncertain. One university offi
cial, declining to permit use
of his name, said that would
depend on whether additional

the cancellation of the Ford

Hunsaker Calls
For BIG Towel;
Flu Hits Squad
Albany Coach Rex Hunsa-
ker of the Albany Bulldogs
really needed a towel for his
tears when he faced his foot
ball squad Wednesday.
Five of his first-string play
ers were abed with the "flu."
On the sick list are Jim Doerf
ler and Basil Saunders, Dai
ton Cooley, John Sumpter and
LeRoy Babcock. All this be
fore the game with the Sa
lem Vikings in Salem Friday
night.
In other words, Albany may
be playing Salem without the
services of five first-stringers
two halfbacks, two ends
and an all important tackle.
Even if the boys are well by
Friday night when they jour
ney to Salem, they will un
doubtedly be weak from their
flu siege and won't be up to
their usual standard.
The Jayvce attack got rolling
as the first half ended.
With Halfback John Gundran
carrying the pigskin 30 yards
then 20 and finally Vern Klien
carried the ball five more
Salem got to Sacred Heart's
eight yard line, the gun sound
ed to end the first half.
Salem made only one threat
after that. In the final min
utes of the game Salem drove
from their own 12 to Sacred
Heart's 32.
The victory is the first win
for Sacred Heart in their third
try. It was the Jayvees's initial
start.
