LUCKY BREAK FOR Absence of First 'String Catcher Caused 'Finding' of Harry Panning Sat On Bench for Six Years By HID FKDER Associated PreM S porta Writer Around and about In the Baseball business today they're earing the luckiest thing that happened to the Qlanta thla year was the Injury that put their first-string catcher, Qua Maneuao, In the hospital back In July. It'a runny they should be glad handing Old Man Jtnka aa though ha was Santa Claua, but If Qua hadn't been laid up with e broken finger, the Olants never would have "found" Harry (The Hawk) Oannlng who bad been warming the Glint bench for only six years. Hvry Is Hero And if they hadn't coma acroaa Harry, sitting there minding his own business day after day, It la extremely doubtful that the Olants would be up there sporting a 3Vi-geme lead for the National league pennant at this writing. Barry la the hero of the pteoe be cause of the way ha brought the right banded department of the Olants' pitching staff out of the dol duma, and because he's been waving that big bat of his In rival hurlera' faces until they're soared to death of him. For Instance, there were Prince Hal Schumacher and Harry Oumbert, who had been about aa much use ai coup! of bate with holea In them. Slnoe Harry began handling them, Schumacher has started nine games, completed seven and won six, while Oumbert has taken half a dozen de cisions. Davis Wins Schumacher did It again with Dan' nlng yesterday. Ha turned In a neat nlne-hlt effort while his mates club. bed the Pirates, 7-3. since the Cubs also won tbelr game, taking a 6-3 decision from the Bees behind Curt Davis' slx-hltter, the pennant situa tion rsmsined as wss. The Yankees had their American league lead shaved 9 games over the Tigers. They split a twin bill with the Cleveland Indiana, taking the nightcap, 8-1, with Monte Pear son pitching a four-hitter, while the tribe came through, 6-4, In the 10 lnnlng opener, although Bob Feller waa belted to the showers. The Ti gers won their single game with the Senators, 4-8, on the strength of a three-run relly In the ninth. The White Sox got to Lefty Orove end topped the Red Sox, 6-3. The Athletics took their opener, 8-3, from St. Louis, but dropped the nightcap, 8-1, as Bill Trotter won bis first vic tory of the year. The Cincinnati Reds routed the Dodgers, 6-0, In their opener, and then dropped the afterpiece, 8-6. The Phillies and Cardinals went 18 In nings to a 6-all draw before dark ness halted proceedings.

GRAYSON CRACKS RIB TUTORING BLOCKERS PALO ALTO. Calif.. iVpt. 1 AP Bckfleld Coach Bobby Onvson, onp of the greatest fxillbaok Stun- ford ever produced, wu on the in jury lltt tedty. He cricked rib yetrdy In demonstrating blocking technique. JO JOHNSON teaching populat piano playing Baldwin Piano fthopp Tel 83ft Sport Graphs Billy Hnlen Says: Six-Man Football Declared Answer for Small Schools Billy llulcn. Why, asks Fred Lennard, a local sports enthusiast, don't these- class B high schools In Jackson county follow In the footsteps of Uma tilla county sec ondary s c h o ols and take up this new game of slx- msn football? To which we add our own most lfltenslve "why?" Because of the shortage of play er material, pro hibitory cost of e q u lpment, and lack of proper playing fields, regulation foot ball Is almost out of the question for high schools with enrollments of less than 160 students. The new game, which consists of six players to s team and stresses kicking and passing while eliminating' much plllng-up and blocking. Is sppar- ently an excellent answer to me question of what trie smaii-scnoui athlete can do to keep out of mis chief during the football season. Athletics come to a complete standstill In most class B 'schools durlns the fall. To remedy that, why doesn't Jacksonville, Phoenix, Talent, Eagle Point. Sams Valley, Gold Hill, Butte Falls and prospect get to gether, draw up a schedue. and pro cure their own brand of football. Central Point, largest of the county class B high schools, will play the regulation grid game, but that should not stop the others irom naving their fling at what they can man age to produce. If Coach Bill Bowernian of the Hertford hlKllTlgers Is cor rect, local football fans will next year witness one ol the finest halfbacks In u long list of super fine hall-carriers to near the red ami black. The young gent to whom Bowcrinau referred the oilier liny ns almost a clncli to develop into the greatest of thein all Is none other than Jock Bow man, present member of this sen son's varsity quartet of fancy ground ROlners. A Junior this year, Bowman has everything necessary to make him a grand halfback. Bowerman said. He not only packs the mall with plenty of dispatch, but Is one of those rare guys who love to do some blocking on the side. In fact, the coach said, he apparently would rather mop up for somebody else than take that pigskin places himself. However, ne Is too good a runner to be rele gated to solely a blocking position. although he will be allowed to blast an end or defensive halfback when the occasion demands. Bowman was a member of the Tiger track team this spring, com peting In the hurdles with more than ordinary success. On the football field, lie has that same long, high stride and the effect on would-be tacklers Is all that can be Imagined. We asked Bowerman about Bowman'a speed, which Is said to be quite necessary In a good halfback. "Well." the coach drawled, "he runa the hundred In 10.3." Indeed this fall to see those three speedsters, all 10-second men, ca vorting around In . the Tiger backfleld, blocking like the dick ens for each other and then tak ing tarns at sprinting the oval through huge holes (everybody hopes) In opposing lines. And. while on the subject of this Medford backlleld. Bowman Is not alone or gentlemen who would Just aa leave smack an opponent out ol the way for another ball carrier as travel along behind teammates who are clearing the way for them. Jack Hill and Bobby Ettlnger, a couple of other "payoff" halfbacks, both dearly love to run Interference, a trait not usually found In the ordinary run of high school ball-carriers who, by their speed and other more sensa tions abilities, have reached the "star" status. More often, the young back who gains the ground can't block and don't like to block. He docs the ball-totlng while teammates open tip for him. It mil he a heantltiil stent ..m "If the Beer" Salem Brewery Ass'n, Salem Until today, the Chicago Cuba were still two and a half games be hind those New York Olants in the red hot National league pennant race, and local baseball fans were calling into action every good-luck omen they ever possessed. There la no doubt aa to the sentiment in (his neck of the woods regarding the ding-dong flag chase. Outside of the fact that most everyone dlsllkea the two New York clubs for various reasons, undoubt edly the biggest factor In the local desire to see the Cubs come through Is Curt Davis.. Davis, who used to fog them over right out there on the fairgrounds field, has a host of friends In the county who have fol lowed his professional baseball ca reer with breathless Interest. He hafc been under the weather most all season, but seems to have started clicking again. Yesterday he beat the Boston Bees, 5-3, while allowing only six hits, and local addicts re joiced. However, the Giant kept pace by whacking Pittsburgh, so Curt's victory didn't help his club In the race. 10 I 8-6 WIN OVER ACORNS (By ts Associated Press.) A determined Portland baseball team moved Into the first division of the Pacific Coast baseball league to day as rebelling underdogs made things unpleasant for the league lead. ers and caused three changes In the standings. Portland with a collection of four runs In the first Inning, went on to take its second straight from the wobbly Oakland Acorns, 8 to 6. Se attle, with the aid of a timely home run with one on In the last of the 16th, defeated the league leading Sac ramento club, 6 to 4. It was Seattle's second victory over the Senators In as many days. San Francisco took definite hold of second place when Ted Norbert's home-run with two on the bags help ed defeat Los Angeles, 7 to 3. The loss dropped the Angels half a game behind Portland. San Diego dropped into third place when the bedraggled San Francisco Mission Reds, with the aid of a rookie sub. defeated them for the second straight time, 0 to 3. Sailor Bill Posedel, one of the Beavers' most reliable hurlers, was credited with his 20th victory last night. Little Dudley Lee, Beaver shortstop, nailed three of their ten hits when the connected three times out of five. Walt Judnlch of the Oaks hit a homer. After getting four runs In the first inning, the Beavers collected three more in the third on four hits and an error. Oakland hammered away at the Beaver lead, but fell short when a ninth Inning effort was stopped. 1 Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads Is 1 :30 p. m.
