Aa for the Olson "Bob," he didn't stand out like he did In Oregon State's 13 to 0 win over Stanford the week previous, but he did right mart work. He carried the ball with hie usual brilliance and tossed some Bios forward passes.

He shot one to John (Buck) Berry for the sli points, in other words, of tha two touchdowns Oliver's dub has made so far this season, .

Cosch Warren didn't name Jack Bowman, a climax runner de luxe for the Black Tornado last season. Bowman, a leit naiioaok, apparently isn't snowing up too well, or the failure to list him was sn oversight on Warren's part. Regardless of whether Bowman cracks the football business at Oregon, he needn't worry, for bo la a grand track performer. For statlstlcslly-lncllned grid fans, tha following figures will reveal the fine attacking balance the Black Tornado haa used so far this season to defeat Weed, Corvallls and dranta Pass.

(AP) In addition to the world series player pool of 1440,117.84, from which each member of the Yankee got a full share of $9,614.26 and each of the Cincinnati Reds a full share of 94.228.58, the second, third and fourth-placec lubs In the American and National leagues will receive the following shares: Second place (St. Louis Cardi nals and Boston Red Sox): $33, 008.84 each. Third place (Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleveland Indiana): $22, 005.89 each. Fourth place (Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Box): $11,002.95. By Gayle Talbot. CINCINNATI, Oct. 9. P) The one engraven memory of the 1989 world series ever will be the amazing sight of Ernie Lombard!, Clnclnnatl'a out size catcher, down and being stomped by relays of Ysnkees. Somehow, the scene is symbolical of the entire series. The New York Hooligans were not content to best the Reds four straight,, first with phenomenal pitching and then with a breath-taking exhibition of hitting, but they had to wind It up by making monkeys out of the National leaguers. 'Those Bums!" This town hss loved the Reds and taken a terrlflo pride In them all sesson, but after yesterday's final 7 to 4 beating, after having watched them blow a two-run lead In the ninth, the citizens filed out of Cros ley field muttering "those bumsl" They were particularly bitter about Lombardl, who probably set an all time record for clumsiness in a single world aeries contest. But they also were breathing fire at the mention of Billy Myers, the Ill-starred little shortstop who muffed a toss from Lonnle Prey on a perfect double-play ball and set off the Yankees stam pede In the ninth. What appeared to peeve the locals more than otherwise was tha fact that the Reds lifted their hopes so high Just before the debacle. If the Yankees simply hsd won the game about 7 to 0 It would have been better. Crumpled In Ninth There waa a certain pride In get ting Itcked by such a team. At least, there wss no disgrace In bowing to what even the old-timers now admit Is the greatest club there ever han been. But for the Reds to prove that they were capable of winning a game; to outhlt, outpltch and out-fleld the champions for eight Innings; go Into the ninth with the ball game In their pockets snd then fall smack to pieces that made the good burghers plain mad. As . mstter of fact, the Yanks got Lombardl down twice. In the ninth and tenth Innings.' but It wasn't until the tenth thst they be gan to trample him seriously. Ernie, st 215 pounds, simply ln't cat-like on his feet snd was over-matched. It is altogether probable thst Wll lard Hershberger, the Reds' other cstcher, who Is nimble and alert, would have been putting out Yankees at the plate like a man stsmplng out a grass fire. Also. It Is likely thnt he will do most of the catching for the Reds next season. waiters Going Good Nobody would have suspected thst the baaehall gods hsd put the whsm my on Myers snd Ernie when the ninth opened The Reds were shesd 4 to 3. Bucky Walters wss pltchlnp. tight relief ball after having reliever' Paul Derringer the previous Innlnr and the crowd of nearly 33.000 ws going to town. The Ysnkees hs made only three hits, two of then home nins by Charlie Keller and B! Dickey. Keller, the rookie batting hero i Uie series, started the strange strln of eventa by singling to center. Jo Dl.Magglo scratched a blow to left but still nobody was much worried On the next pitch Dickey slapped a roller squsrely st Frey sn esa double plsy. Lonnle flipped It tc Myers. Myers dropped It. snd th. panic ws on. Keller scored.

Keller grounded to Myers, who Jug gled the thing like It was red-hot. Alt hands were safe. Take It away, Lombardl. DIMagglo lined a hit to right, and everybody started running. Ival Goodman, caught up by the epidemic, let It get through him as Crosettl scored, but recovered the agate quickly and made a perfect throw to the plate to cut off Keller. Down Goes Lombardl Down went Lombardl, Keller and the ball In a cloud of dust. The ball rolled free. The crowd groaned, and so did Lombardl. DIMagglo cir cled third about this time, running like a scared rabbit, and headed for the mad scene around home plate. Somebody managed, to warn Lom bardl. He grabbed the elusive pellet, dived at DIMagglo. and down he went again. Ernie had been engulfed. The world series was Just a painful memory. The only official protest was lodged by Coach Jimmy Wilson In the Reds' funeral clubhouse: "I don't think that DIMagglo went around the bases at all," he said, "he must have cut across on us."
