I FACT 0 MEPFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGOT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Opposite Roles Played By Pair Of Oregonians " It wm ironical that of th two Oregon players In y ester day's World'! Series opener, on proved to be the hero and the other the "goat," U iuch a term can be applied to the Dodger pitcher who wai charged with the S to 2 defeat at Yankee hand. Joe Gordon, who playi a whale of a lecond base for the Manhattan Maulers, carried most of the offensive load for his club, what with his second inning blast into the left field pews and his sixth-inning single coring Charley Keller. ' ; Gordon, who was graduated from the University of Oregon In 1939 and who calls Portland J his home, although he was born In Los Angeles, thus batted in as nwny runs as all the Brook lyn players put together. And In addition, he started the ninth Inning double play that wiped out the "bums" when they had the tying run on second and the potential winning marker en first. But It was a different story In the cat of Curt Davis, the other Oregon product. We call Curt an "Oregon product" with qualifications, bacaus , h was bora In Missouri and , mikes his prsnt horn la California. Howr. when the big righthander was re ceiving his "prepplng" la bush league circles. It was taostly la this state that he 'did his flinging, and plenty , '.of It was don right her In ' 'th Rogue Hirer valley with lh BOAS la 1927. Bo let's Ualra him. Curt didn't do so badly in the box. but It wasn't quit good sough. Ha gave up six hits in th fiv and third Innings he 1 worked before Gordon's single drove him from the mound, but ' except for th same Gordon's homer and Bill Dickey's dou ble la th fourth, driving In tally. Curt had th Yanks stop pod. AH told, ther wer fiv ex Pacific Coast leaguers perform ,tng in the classic, but with the exception of Gordon, who spent the 1938 season with Oakland, son of them sparkled.

Chapman revealing that How ard Robertson, a Eugene boy, was offered a contract by the Cincinnati Reds' organization at completion of the big tryout camp at Marysvllla, Cal., this week. Chapman, Pacific coast representative of the Reds, wrote that "we had a fin camp, with S3 selected boys present, of whom 11 were offered con tracts." None of the three Crater players, who had been Invited to attend the camp, war on hand. Bob Churchill, third basement Harold Martenson. outfielder-third baseman, and Jack Brown, rlghthanded pitcher, all gave up the Idea when they were told they would become Ineligible for college competition by attend ing a professional baseball tryout camp with all expenses paid. Outstanding boy at th camp, Chapman wrote, was Harold LeRoy of Kalama, Wash., a right-handed pitcher. "Remem ber that name, as it may bob up In the major leagues," Chap man wrote.

Ftiofl 4M TIGERS TO START REGULAR LINEUP AGAINST CAVEMEN Bowerman Claims Tough Game In Store For Locals Orr, Mayfleld Injured. Although past performances tend to indicate Medford's Black Tornado won't have too tough a time with the Grants Pass Cavemen In the locals' opening Southern Oregon conference clash at Grants Pass Friday night. Coach Bill Bowerman said today ha definitely would start his regulars, and that he expected the Climate city ag gregation to provide stiff com petition for the Tigers. The Medford mentor based his belief that Grants Pass would be no pushover on the fact that against Ashland th Justin Weakley eleven was minus several of Its first- stringers, out with injuries and sickness. Ashland defeated the Cavemen, 20 to 0. Grants Pass' other game this year re sulted in a fl-fl deadlock with North Bend. Ik Status Unknown With the exception of Ike Orr, regular right halfback and Bud Mayfleld, big left tackle, all th Tornado players are In good condition for the contest Orr's Charley horse has kept him from hard drills this week, while Mayfield is suffering from a minor head Injury. Bower man doesn't yet know whether Orr w'll be able to start the game, but expects Mayfield to be fit Cliff Jones, first-string full back, hasn't been in school for two days and the coach said he didn't know whether Jones would be in uniform for the game. Cliff's father is ill In Yreka, Cal., and the fullback is visiting him. On paper the Tornado, which has crushed Weed 38 to 8 and Corvallls 41 to 0, shouldn't be overly extended against the In experienced and light Cavemen. nowever, Bowerman is a little afraid the Tigers will go into the battle overconfident 41-DAY RACING MEET STARTS AT TANFORAN San Francisco " 2 Tanforan race track opens a i-aay meeting today with a first-day program topped by the inaugural handiran. a l.inv long -event which drew seven entries.

(JPi A dra: 1 c a 1 1 y revamped Washington football lineup was promised to day by Coach Jimmy Phelan for Saturday's Oregon State game. Of most prominence was the benching of all-star guard Ray Frankowsky. Bill Holmes and John Zeger, subs last season, were In the guard spots Instead of Frankowsky and Dick Green wood in last night s lively scrim mage. Phelan listed halfback Pete Suslck, a slippery lad from North Bend, Ore., to switch to quarterback to start his first game for the Huskies. To sub stitute for the Injured signal caller, Don Means, Susick was shoved ahead of two reserve quarterbacks, mostly because of his strength on pass defense.

Seventh-Inning Stretches Reveal Clients Impartial By BUI Bent New York, Oct J. Of) It I a shameful confession to rnalr. but so far this is disappointing world series. Nobody has been given the bums' rush except "our bums" and that, except in Flatbush and adjoining precincts, was not entirely unexpected. To get a rougn laea oi now, th record house was split you could watch the two seventh lnnjng stretches. So many peo ple stood up for the Dodgers it looked Ilk they must be play, ing the national anthem again. But when almost as many got up for the Yanks, w decided a lot of people were being impar tial, if not two-faced. - Th on true Brooklyn not, of th Bab Herman era, was struck in that same seventh. This was th tpisod in which Peewee Reese, on his own re grettable initiative, decided to go from second to third on pop foul off the third base line a pop foul Jimmy Was dell shouldn't have hit. Man ager Leo Durocher claimed, because at that particular tim he was supposed to bunt Charley Keller led off the Yankee second with a fly to center. He ran down to first like a fellow with a bad ankle. This would have been peculiar, except for the fact Keller has a bad ankle. It Is not common practice to erect commemorative tablets to notorious thefts. But some en terprising Brooklyn fan should mark the spot on the low left field wall where Ducky Med wick was leaning one moment in an apparent "hell, I can't catch it" attitude, and leaping high a second later to spear a DiMaggio drive that had "home run" spelled out on the stitches. Incidentally, DiMag and his rival clean-up hitter, Dolf Ca mllll, didn't clean up a thing. Alcohol blended with gasoline makes a satisfactory fuel for automo biles, th bureau of standards.
