Cubs Crimp Card's Pennant Chances With Ninth Inning Blast
PADT! TWO
BROOKLYN TAKES
PAIR FROM PIS,
AND 2-GAME EDGE
Chicago Comes From Be
" hind To Win 7-3; Dodger
Pitchers In Good Form.
By Henry B. Jameson
St. Louis, Sept. 20. (JP) The
Chicago Cubs all but blasted the
struggling Cardinals out of the
National league pennant race to
day with a ten-Hie B-run explos
ion In the ninth Inning after the
Cards apparently had the all-
Important game In the bag.
. The crushing 7 to S defeat,
coming on the heels of Brook
lyn's twin victory over the plas
tic Phillies, knocked the Red
birds two full games behind the
furious Dodgeds. It left them
with nothing more than scant
hope that some miracle might
upset "dem fighting bums" in
their seven remaining games
against the two last-place clubs.
- Lean Lon Warneke, who had
beaten every team In the league
this year except Chicago, was
plodding along In his most mas
terful fashion until tne ratal
ninth, having allowed only four
hits.
Then Phil Cavarretta, who
bad filed out three successive
times drove a hard single
against the right field screen
and only a powerful throw by
Rookie Ervln Dusak kept him
from going to second.
' The Ladies' Day crowd of 18,
632 rabid rooters seemed to
Sjnse the tragedy about to be
fall the struggling pennant con
tenders, who had given the
Brooks an exciting run for It
since April. There was anguish
ed silence In the stands as War
neke faced the next batter,
chunky Dom Dallessandro.
The dangerous little fellow
doubled to left field and Bill
Nicholson walked to fill the
bases with none out. Babe Dahl
gren forced Nicholson at second,
scoring Cavarretta.
' That left the gate :;tlll wide
open and five more runs poured
through, almost before Manager
Billy Southworth could holler
for help.
Lou Stringer's double over
the head of Terry Moore, who
lost the ball momentarily in the
center field sun, scored Dallas
t tndro with the tying run and
sent Warneke to the showers, a
downhearted veteran. The Ar
kansas Hubblngbird had been
trying for his 18th victory to tie
his best season with the Cards.
The defeat was his ninth.
He was relieved by Howard
Krist. Bob Schefflng, who once
managed a Cardinal farm, came
up as pinch-hitter, and smash
ed the first pitch for a grand
slar.i home run to climax the up
rising. Chicago 7 8 0
St. Louis 3 8 1

Those pennant bound Brooklyn
Dodgers had no run-ins with any
umpires at Shlbe park today.
Instead they ran right over the

field. Bily Herman, Brooklyn
second baseman, came over fast.

Until he tired with one out In

BILL WALL HAULS
DOWN TWO PASSES
FOR TOUCHDOWNS
Weed Loses 38-6 To Un
polished But Defensively
Strong Medford Squad.
An unpolished but defensively-powerful
Medford high Black
Tornado took to the air here
Friday night to crush the Weed
tCal.) high Cougars, 38 to 6, as
pass-slinging Cato Wray hurled
three touchdown aerials and
Steve Dippel, a sophomore play
ing his first lnterscholastlc con
test, flagged the same number
of scoring passes to spark the
attack.
Steve Isaac flung another pass
good for a touchdown, Sopho
more Pete Orr, brother of Ike,
was on the tossing end of a
lateral that culminated In six
points and Bob Mitchell bucked
one score across to account for
the Tornado point-total. Bill
Wall, giant end, hauled down
two touchdown heaves.
The locals, who employed 33
players In the game, scored In
every period but the fourth,
hitting pay-dirt once In the first
quarter, three times In the sec
ond and twice In the third. The
outclassed Cougars, after strug
gling helplessly through three
quarters in an attempt to crack
the very tough Medford forward
wall, finally managed to ring
tne bell early In the final stanza
when Quarterback Dave Bast
plunged over center from the
one-yard line after two forward
passes, of 16 and 18 yards,
placed the leather in position.
Medford s first score came
late In the first period when
Wray fired a 24-yard beauty
that Wall snatched In the end
zone. It was a fourth-down toss,
the Tigers having been held on
the Weed 24-yard line.
The Tornado really started
to roll In the second period.
After Weed's Shaffer punted
only seven yards to his own 15
and Wray clicked off seven
yards on a fake reverse after
the visitors were set back five
yards for offside, Wray again
stepped back and shot a pass
to Dippel in the end zone.
A few moments later the
Tigers had another touchdown.
Employing the T-formatlon for
the first time, Dippel shot
through the line for eight to
his own 31, Mitchell made seven
at center, Dippel added eight
more around right end and
Mitchell picked up 10 on the
T. Then, Wray faded back
and whipped a 24-yard aerial
to Wall, who took It over his
shoulder on the 10-yard line and
raced across unmolested.
Just before the second period
ended Bill Bayliss Intercepted
a Weed pass on the Weed 12
and a moment later Isaac, sub
stitute back, hit Dippel In the
end zone for Medford's fourth
touchdown, making the score
26 to 0 at halftime.
A partially blocked punt that
skittered out of bounds on the
Weed 10-yard line set the Tigers
up to their fifth touchdown mid
way through the third quarter.
This occurred after Wall, on
the lone time Medford punted
whaled a 44-yard honey that
rolled out of bounds on the
Weed one-foot line.
After the Tiger forward wall
broke through to nearly block
Weed's return punt, getting the
ball on the 10-yard line, Pete
Orr tossed a lateral pass behind
the line of scrimmage that Dip-

A 28-yard reverse around
right end by Dippel took the
ball to the Weed 16 near the
close of the third period, and
after Mitchell drove for three
to the three-yard line the latter
egain took it and pounded across
for the touchdown.
The only points after touch
down the Tigers made occurred
when Curt Hopkins place-kicked
successfully after the second and
third scores.
Although looking rather ragged
cn ground offense, the Tigers
presented a stiff defense. Weed
was held to 46 yards and three
first downs on the ground, and
43 yards and one first down In
the air. The Medford forward
wall operated defensively in
great style.
Dippel, up from Junior high,
was the surprise package for
the Tornado, and was one of the
best, If not the best, backs on
the field. Pete Orr, another
soph, also turned In a nice ball
game. Jimmy Glenn, fullback
and guard, looked more valu
able at the latter position, al
though he performed capably at
the backfleld spot.
The Tigers had a huge statis
tical advantage In yards gained
from scrimmage, running up 274
yards, but they were forced to
take to the air when the Weed
defense tightened in scoring
territory.
Next Friday night the locals
will entertain Corvallls high.

FOR WHITE TEAM
Eugene, Sept. 20. (JP) The
Oregon "Whites" put on a
sparkling exhibition of offensive
football Saturday afternoon, and
whizzed by the "Reds" by the
lopsided score of 32-0 in a
crunching intra-squad game
here.
Tommy Roblln, the Jitterbug
left halfback with the mysteri
ous change of pace, was the key
man of the White attack, scor
ing three touchdowns on long
solo jaunts and passing to End
Jim Shepherd for a fourth. The
versatile Roblin also place
kicked two extra points for a
grand total of 20 points during
the fray.
Curt Mecham also scored on
a pair of extra fancy long treks
as he evaded Red tacklers. Bill
Dunlap, Bill Borcher and Shep
herd scored the remaining touch
downs, with Tommy Oxman and
Kenny Oliphant accounting for
one point each.
