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"

Curt didn't do so badly in the
box. but It wasn't quit good

wrote that "we had a fin camp,

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

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. De
partment of Commerce, says, but Is
too expensive for practical use.
