Pelicans Imprest
Local Coaches In
Opening Contest
The Black Tornado coaching

Klrtley plui Leonard B. May
lield, principal and a former
grid tutor, himself, were rather
Impressed with the Klamath
Falls Pelican eleven that out
acored Chlco. Cal., 19 to 13. last
Friday night.
The consensus of these gentle
men, all of whom viewed the
contest from the top row of
bleacheri. was that Buck Ham
mer, having his first fling as
chief mentor following the de
parture of Arthur (Snowy) Gus
tafson to Fort Ord, had done a
pretty fit Job cf work on ready
ing the Pelicans for their Initial
1941 struggle.
Like all clubs on opening day,
the red and white-clad Klam
athltes were ragged at times.
Their blocking and tackling was
spotty and their play develop
ment was far from consistently
smooth. But they showed flashes
of a lot of potential power and
some deception, and It was the
opinion of the local quartet that
before the season Is over Mr.
Hammer's eleven will prove a
tough baby.
Eugene Love, a second team
all-conference back and voted
the most valuable player on the
team in 1940, looked like the
best back the Pelicans possess.
He Is playing fullback this sea
son. Is big and hard-hitting and
Is fairly fast, though - not a
streak.
. The Pelicans have a real
breakaway threat In Ralph
Foster, ISO-pound lad who
wears glasses and plays
safety. Foster Is rapid. Is
shifty as all eet-out and Is the
whirling, spinning, pivoting
type of runner that is liable to
get away at any moment. He
apparently is rugged enough
to take punishment, and we
predict he will score hatfull
of touchdowns before the cam
paign Is completed.
The Pelicans employ the
Notre Dame shift on offense
most of the time, but occasion
ally use that spread formation
that gave the Tigers so much
trouble last season. On defense
they used a 6-2-2-1 setup that
didn't prove effective against

adequate against the Chico run

Cards Rest Today While
Dodgers Play Cincy Again
Foxx Ties Record
By Cayle Talbot
Associated Press Writer
It will be some time before
baseball produces two gamer,
more stout-hearted teams than
the pair now locked in battle
for the National league cham
pionship. If either of them Intended to
crack, yesterday offered a beau
tiful opportunity. Both contend
ers ran Into superb pitching and
both trailed at one time or
another,, but when the dust
settled last night they both had
won their games and still were
breathing defiance.
The St. Louis gang perhaps
displayed the sterner fighting
qualities in overcoming the Gi
ants twice by scores of 1 to 0
and 6 to 9, the second tussle
going 10 Innings.
The double win enabled the
Cards to reduce Brooklyn's lead
to a game and a half, despite
the Dodgers' hard-earned 7 to 3
victory over Cincinnati. The
margin is certain to be changed
one way or the other today, as
the Cards take a rest while
the Dodgers have another shot
at the Reds.
Pirates Split
The defeat nearly cost Cin
cinnati third place in the Na
tional. Pittsburgh won its first
game with the Phils, 2 to 1,
and appeared to have the night
cap sewed up until the Phils
suddenly blasted loose for five
runs In the ninth Inning to win
it 8 to 3. A twin victory would
have placed the Corsairs third.
The Chicago Cubs split a pair
with the Boston Braves. The
Brsves blasted 15 hits to take
the first 6 to 3. but absorbed a
10-3 licking In the second.
Young Sid Hudson turned In
the day's feature piece in the
American league, yielding only
four hits In pitching Washing

The Cleveland Indians hopped

In the eighth Inning to win the
second game from the Yanks,
9 to 2, after losing the first
8 to 3.
The Boston Red Sox virtu
ally clinched second place by
taking a pair from Chicago, 9-2
and 8-2, and their great first
baseman, Jimmy Foxx, carved

TO PEAK ON Tl
(By Associated Press)
Juggling the lead like vaude
ville artists, Seattle, Sacramento
and San Diego raced into the
final week of the Pacific Coast
league pennant chase today with
1941's champion still far from
decided.
Seattle's Rainlers, titlist last
season, materialized out of vir
tually nowhere to snatch the
pace away from San Diego last
week, after both had erased
Sacramento's mid-season lead of
18 games. The first-place spot
changed four times in the hot
three-club conflict before Seat
tle emerged with a two-game
margin over the Solons. San
Diego is three games back.
Facing second - division Los
Angeles in its final series. Scat
tie stands a strong chance of
hanging onto its lead. Sacra
mento tangles with Oakland,
which two weeks ago clouted
the Solons around five games
out of seven, while San' Diego
meets Hollywood. Portland and
San Francisco clash in the other
series.
Seattle's skyrocket climb was
emphasized over the week-end

by the Lions after a brilliant

However, field goals by Tiny

taken as a precauti n.
