Roelandt has one more year of eligibility. Most of the time at the camp will be devoted to drills in fun damentals and to conditioning the players, Bowerman said.

There's the youth vs. age dis pute, which seldom turns up on the gridiron, and the long unset tled question as to whether the players whose feats are given the greatest publicity actually ara the best. The All-Stars, of course, fea ture youth. They're all fellows who ended their college careers last season and most of them are Just starting out again as fresh men in the professional game. The Giants, too, have a number of rookies, but they also have veterans such as Mel Heln, a great center who Is starting his eleventh pro season, Ed Widseth, Ken Strong, Ed Donowski and Ward Cuff. They'll ba matching their skill and experience against the youngsters' speed and strength In an effort to hold their Jobs.

U2 ON TWO SAFETIES By the Associated Press The San Diego Padres carried their horseshoe into second place today, or maybe the horse shoe kicked the Padres up stairs. At any rate these San Dlegans defeated Hollywood 4-2 last night, and the details of the victory sum up to one of the most amazing good luck yarns in the Coast league history book. The winners made only two hits none before the seventh Inning and none afterward while the Hollywood lineup was blasting Woody Rich and Rex Dilbeck for a triple, three dou bles and eight singles, plus six bases on balls. That seventh Inning, of course, tells the story. George McDonald opened It with a single, and Lou Tost, slightly undone at the thought of losing his no-hitter, promptly fumbled to place another man on base. Then Tost Issued an Inten tional pass to load the bags, whereupon leftflelder Johnny Jensen, a prospective major leaguer, poked a pitch over the fence. That was that. The Padres gained second place while Seattle, erstwhile runner-up, waited Impatiently for the arrival of Los Angeles In the northern city, but they still failed to make further in roads on Sacramento's three game lead. That was uecause the Sen ators opened up with all their old-time fire against Oakland, pounding three Acorn pitchers for 14 hits and an 8-2 decision. Portland, like Seattle, was obliged to wait until tonight to get into action. The train carry ing San Francisco to the Oregon city was delayed, and scheduled game had to be postponed. TURPI Several good scores were turned In at the Medford Gun club Sunday. In the 16-yard events Turpin was high with a 23 straight and a 49x30 score, followed by John Ross with a 48x30 and Dr. Pearce of Long Beach, Cal., with a 23 straight and a 48x30 score.

By Judxon Bailey Associated Press Writer There have been a lot of cricks about the Brooklyn Dod gers but so far there have been no ciacks In them. From time to time the Dod gers have looked doddering and their fans have become fearful. The latest occasion of this kind was the past week-end when Brooklyn dropped a double- he. der to the New York Giants and came out of a 21 inning double tussle against the seventh-place Boston Braves with one narrow victory und ono tie. But Brooklyn has a way of making up for these lapses and yesteiday the Dodgers over whelmed the Braves, 9-2, in playing off the tie, Just as they slaughtered the Giants, 13-6, on Sunday to cover up the em barrassment caused on Satur day. Klrby Higbe had one of his powerful days yesterday and ac hieved his 19th victory. He did not allow a hit for the first five Innings and yielded only a half-dozen in the entire game. 3 In First Brooklyn bagged three runs in the first inning after loading the bases with one out. A force play accounted for two tallies, tfith Pete Reiser running a re cord anchor lap to score from second base while the putout was being made there. Then Lew Riggs doubled the other across. The Dodgers added four more in the third, knocking Al Javery out of the box with five hits, and finished with two In the seventh off Lamanna. There was only one other con test in the major leagues, the Chicago Cubs clipping the Cin cinnati Reds, 3-1, in a pitching duel between old Charley Root anc young Gene (Junior) Thomp son. Thompson allowed Just four h.'U, but two of .hem, a double by Lou Stringer and a single by Stan Hack, were linked with a walk and a long fly for two runs ir. the third. Root held the Reds to five safeties, and the losers got their only run on a walk, a sacrifice and Lloyd Waner's double, in the third. Cami'.en, N J Srr-t. 3 m With only minor opposition, a major unit of the Congress of Industrial Organization to day repudiated the isolationist stand of CIO founder John L. Lewis and called upon Presl dent Roosevelt to give speedy aid to nations fighting Hitler. Formal adoption of a reso lution by a 382 to 5 vote fol lowed a statement by officers of the union that "there is no basis for disunity now on the question of supporting every step necessary to crush Hitler ism."

Young Williams Fan Is Rewarded for Long Hike Boston, Sept S.W5 Billy Kane's hero is Red Sox slugger Ted Williams more so today than ever. Billy, 14-years-old, wanted to see Ted hit home run, so he set out from his home in South Brewer, Me., on Monday on 250-mile hitch-hike trip to Fen way park in Boston, eating fruit and berries along the way. He arrived yesterday and was broken hearted to discover there was no game. He walked into the park behind some workmen and fell asleep in the bleachers. Two policemen found him there early last night and heard his story. They took him to the police station and telephoned Williams. The baseball player, Just go ing to bed, dressed again, hur ried to the station, put his arm around the boy and told him everything was going to be all right. Bill spent the night in a room ing house arranged for by po lice after they provided him with a dinner and he will be Ted's guest in a box seat at to day's game with the New York Yankees. New York, Sept. 3. MV- Baseball Commissioner Kene- saw M. Landls decided today that the 1941 world series would start Wednesday, October 1 in Yankee stadium, and, in map ping out the series schedule, made only one change from past years. This was that, regardless of which club wins the National league pennant, there will be a one-day lay-off between the sixth and seventh games, if the series goes seven games, to per mlt a satisfactory sale of tickets. Judge Landis pointed out that In the past, when a series went seven games and the final game was played the day after the sixth contest, there was not suf ficient time to sell enough tickets. With Presidents Hill Harrldge of the American league and Ford Frick of the National league and representatives of the New York Yankees, Brook lyn Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds sitting in on the meetinff.

WAYNE SABIN TO NET SEMI-FINALS By Cal Talbot New York. N. Y., Sept. 3. W) The national term Is cham pionships, after four warm-up sessions, gets down to serious business today with four quarter final matches on the Stadium courts at Forest Hills. In the men's division, defend Ing Champion Con McNeill of Oklahoma City bumps into his first real test when r.e encount ers Wayne Sabin of Reno, Nev, Prospects are for a close affair, as McNeill is not playing up to his firm of last year, while Sabin has been swatting tne ball better than ever after a year of enforced idleness at the behest of the Tennis association. The day's other feiture brings together Frank Kovacs nf San Francisco, second seeded men's star, and John Kramer of Mon tebelln, Calif., with the some what reformed Kovacs a top- heavy favorite. Kovacs, newly married, is doing considerably less clowning than in past years and playing more ternis. Half of the women s quarter finals also were down for deci sion, with top-seedc-d Pauline Betz of Los Angeles meeting Barbara Krase of San Francisco, and Helen Bernnaid of New York tackling Margaret Osborne of San Francisco. Betz and Bernhard were the favorites. The other four quarter-finals will be played tomorrow, as the tournament committee finds it necessary to spread things pret ty thin in order to make the finals come out on Saturday. NEW iilLINT RULES IN EFFECT Washington. Sept. 3. VPI America's stores and banks op ened today for the first real day of business under government rules restricting easy time pay ments. The federal reserve board's instalment credit regulations went into effect yesterday morn ing, but the Labor day holiday delayed the full effect of the or der until today. How much the rules may cur tail business, no one in Wash ington would guess. However, federal reserve officials indicat ed that they looked for no great dislocation, because they be lieved the regulations to be mild. What the board did was to fix minimum down payments and maximum time to pay the balance on a selected list of con sumer articles. Improvement loans on real estate and cash loans under $1,000 also are lim ited. Oh Mall Tribune want ada. V W -zZ&s? r UXITED STATES XATIONAL BAXK of Portland CZ3 EN!

TO A Port Angeles, Sept. 3 (&) Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes last night told an audience which Jammed the high school auditorium here that it is his ambition to see in the northwest the building of "the greatest public empire In the world." In further remarks Ickes said he was glad of the part he has pi. yed in the development of tne nuge Olympic national park, which he described as the only one in the nation which com bines ocean frontage with moun tains, forests and glaciers. The interior secretary said he din not want to lock up all the resources of lumber or any other resources but "it is my theory that there are enough trees in the northwest country to go around if we give the for ests proper protection and re ifiil your Cash Reserve Never has liere been greater need for "Cash Reserve,". Higher income taxes will take a mighty toll. Other taxes and Insurance oi various kinds' should also ba anticipated and budgeted In ad vance.
