Brooklyn'! doubling Dodgen
bait fighting Cardinal team
1 to 0 today behind the superla
tive 3-hit pitching of Whitlow
Wyatt to bound two gamei
head in the nerve-racking Na
tional league pennant race.
Consecutive two-baggert by
Dixie Walker and Billy Heiman
in the eighth, the first hits off
tout-hearted Mort Cooper, de
cided one of the most spine
tingling contests ever played in
6portsman't park.
For seven innings Cooper
held the Dodger sluggers help
less, although three walks in
the sixth put him in spot.
He pulled out by forcing Lou
Kiggs to ground out.
. But his courageous pitching
was no greater than that of the
Brooklyn ace righthander whu
notched his twentieth victory.
Wyatt ran Into his real tight
pot in the fifth when Creepy
Crespi's double, the first hit for
the cards, and Pee Wee Reese's
error placed runners on second
and third with none out. He
struck out Gus Mancuso and
Cooper and made Jimmy Brown
roll to Dolph Camilli at first.
Reese Errs
Reese erred when he took
Marty Marion's grounder and In
trying to catch Crespi at third
hit the runner in the hack, and
the ball bounded crazily toward
the Card's dugout as lanky
Marlon sped to second.
Except for five passes, not a
Brooklyn player reached first
on Cooper for seven frames.
The righthander who was out
of action more than a month
In the heart of the season for
a chipped bone operation seem
ed headed for the perfect game
which is every pitcher's dream.
Then it faded quickly.
Johnny Hopp, fleetest of the
Red Birds, tried hard to nab
that long blow to deep center
which broke the spell, but it
could not be reached, and when
Herman hit to the center field
wall It was all over.
The game which was watched
by 32,681 paying customers who
filled nearly every available
teat, was equal In excitement
to any world aeries contest. The
fans were on edge to the very
end of the 2V hour struggle.

LEAD BAT KINGS
New York, Sept. 13. (St
The only changes about the bat
ting races In the two major
leagues as the season sweeps
toward the finish are the fig
ures. All prospect of displacing Ted
Williams of the Boston Red Sox
from the American league lead
was abandoned some time ago
and now Pete Reiser of the
Brooklyn Dodgers seems to have
found his second wind to top the
National league competition.
This week Reiser raised his
average five notches to .338
while second-place Johnny Hopp
of the St. Louis Cardinals re
laxed from .326 to .325.
Williams maintained a steady
pace and today had .410, one
point less than a week ago.
while Cecil Travis of the Wash
ington Senators moved from
.360 to .361.
Joe DiMaggio of the New
York Yankees finally got back
into action after a long layoff
because of an Injury, but his
average remained unchanged at
.336.

Klamath Falls Pelicans broke
loose for two touchdowns in the
third period and added one
more in the fourth quarter to j
defeat Chico, Cal., high, 19 to
13, in the 1941 inaugural at
Klamath Falls Friday night.
The Pelicanr, who figure to
battle it out with Medford's
Black Tornado for the Southern
Oregon conference crown, pre
sented a big, fairly-fast eleven.
The tackling and blocking was
rather ragged on the part of
tooth teams, usually the case in
first games, but all in all the
Klamathites displayed promise
of becoming a potent aggrega
tion once the rough spots are
eliminated.
Klamath's first touchdown
came midway through the third
quurter when Jack Rich, left
guard, picked up a blocked punt
and raced 10 yards over the
goal line. Edmundson convert
ed. A few minutes later Eu
gene Love, fullback, bucked
over from the one-yard stripe
after a 14-yard reverse placed
the leather In scoring position
The attempted placekick for the
extra point was blocked, giving
the Pelicans a 13 to 0 lead.
Chico hit scoring territory for
the first time Just before the
third heat ended when Siegel
shot a 28-yard pass to Masoner,
who galloped 25 yards to the
goal line. The extra point was
bucked across.
Early in the fourth quarter
the Pelicans clinched the game
when Kennedy, on a deep re
verse, went 10 yards for a
touchdown. The kick was
blocked, but the Pelicans had
a 19 to 7 lead.
With only 20 seconds of play
remaining in the final period,
Seigel raced 55 yards for Chico't
last score.

Sportsmen shooting on the Pa
cific flyway face curtailment of
their gunning unless the pro
gram of the fish and wildlife
service it found to provide ade
quate protection for birds in mi
gration and on wintering
grounds.
W. C. Henderson, acting di
rector of the service told Sena
tor McNary (R.-Ore.) thit week
''serious curtailment" of shoot
ing on the Pacific flyway might
be necessary. He made his state
ment in a letter telling the sena
tor the service could not justify
the proposed opening of any
part of the upper Klamath na
tional wildlife refuge to public
hunting.
"The waterfowl situation in
the Pacific flyway is more criti
cal than most of the sportsmen
of the general region realize,"
Henderson wrote. "In fact seri
ous curtailment of shooting pri
vileges in this region may be
necessary unless the program of
this service provide sufficiently
adequate protection tor the birds
frequenting this flyway during
migration and wintering
periods."
Henderson said the fact large
flocks of birds were seen in the
region were misleading for they
were forced there through agri
culture and other developments
depriving them of their usual
grounds.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Br BiU King
Brookline, Mass., Sept. 13.
(A) Women's sports came up
with another poker-faced cham- -pion
today when attractive and !
impassive Mrs. Betty Hicks!
Newell of Long Beach, Calif., j
missed par by four strokes over I
a 33-holet stretch at the Country i
club while defeating Helen Sigel
of Philadelphia, 5 and 3, for the
national amateur golf title.
The 20-year-old Mrs. Newell
was down during only the first
two holes of the scheduled 36
holes finals.
Although she performed bril
liantly this morning, getting a
77 for her first 18 holes, the new
champion had only a one-hole
margin on the much more spon
taneous 22-year-old Philadelphia
girl at the half-way mark, after
being three-up at the 10th.
When Mrs. Newell tossed
away half of her lead by taking
a ragged six on the 18th, where
she was in the rough with her
first two shots, Miss Sigel ap
peared to be getting set for a
mighty closing rally.
That, however, was nipped in
abrupt fashion as Mrs. Newell
pulled into a three-hole lead by
birdying the first two afternoon,
holes. She became four up at
the 23rd and she had all those
holes to her credit when she
completed her third nine of the
day in 36, one under par.
Mangrum Leads
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 13.
UP) Twenty-six-year-old
Lloyd Mangrum, youngest mem
ber of the Monterey Beach, Cal.,
golfing family, loomed as the
man to beat today as the second
round of the $5,000 Greater At
lantic City golf tournament
ended.
After a dazzling 65 which put
him in the lead yesterday, he
followed through with a 69,
three under par, today to retain
the lead with a 134 total.
Mangrum clipped the three
strokes off par on the first nine
and was even coming in. He
had birdies on the second,
seventh and ninth holes.
NOT TO KILL BEARS
Portland, Sept. 13. (At The
state game commission let a con
tract for construction of one new
fish hatchery and planned im
provements for four others at

The new httchery, to cost
$32,000, will be erected at Brush
eek in Curry county. It is ex
pected to yield 1,000,000 six

Improvements will be made
at the Diamond lake, Oak

farmers troubled by predatory
animals should notify the fish

not take it upon themselves to
kill the animals, particularly
bear. The latter are protected in
Oregon except in November.
