Br Austin Bealmaar (AMOClated Prest Sport Writer) While It may never etxn them citation from the Office of De fense Transportation, the New York Yankeei and Brooklyn Dodgeri appear determined to tave themselvef and the base ball fans a lot of travel by keep ing the 1942 World Series with in range of a five-cent subway ride. Yesterday at Ebbets field, the Dodgers went to bat In the ninth Inning of a scoreless pitching duel between their ace, Lefty Larry French, and Rube Melton of the Philadelphia Phils. They loaded the bases on two singles and a walk and sent dangerous Dolph Carnllli to the plate. Camllll, however, didn't lay bat on the ball. He merely waited out a walk which forced the winning run across, giving the Dodgers the verdict, 1-0. Meanwhile, over In the Bronx, the Yankees went to bat against the Boston Red Sox with the score tied in the last half of the ninth. They also loaded the bases 'with one away and brought up Charlie (King Kong) Keller. Keller picked out a pitch he liked, slammed it 420 feet Into the right-center field bleachers for his 18th homer of the year and presented the Yankees with an 8-4 triumph. Cards Win Two The Cards downed the Chi cago Cubs, 0-4 and 8-3. John Beazley registered his 13th latching victory in the opener, although he yielded 10 of the 11 bits and failed to finish. "Double No-Hit" Johnny Van Tr Meer tossed a three-hitter at the Pittsburgh Pirates in s night contest which the Cincin nati Reds won, 3-0. Earlier In the day, the Braves knocked the New York Giants loose from their hold on third place by sweeping a double header, 1-0 and 8-2. Murray Franklin's two -run single led the Detroit Tigers to a 4-2 triumph In the first game with Cleveland and Hal New houser blanking the Tribe, 2-0, on five hits in the second.

Lumberjacks, has been upheld by Dom Provost of Ash land, president of the Oregon- California Baseball league, and a replay of the disputed contest has been ordered. Provost, announcing his de cision yesterday after making a complete investigation of the facts leading to the protest, said he was notifying managers of both clubs immediately. Date of the game, he said, would be left In the hands of the teams Involved. The league president ex plained that It had been proved beyond a reasonable doubt that a ball hit by Paul Crapo, Klanv ath outfielder, with two men on base In the first Inning of the game, had bounced over the fenec. The hit. Provost explained, as set forth in Talbof s protest, was allowed to go for a home run Instead of a two-base hit con trary to rule 41, section 3 of the official baseball rules, which provides that "A fair hit ball that strikes the ground and bounds Into a stand or over a fence shall be a two-base hit." The loop prexy stated he had received a written statement from Pete Lesmeister, president of the Klamath Falls club, ad mitting that the ball bounced over the fence. Lesmeister, how ever, claimed that the decision had no bearing on the outcome of the game, while Talbot, in his protest, claimed It did, Pro vost said. Klamath Falls won the game. 14 to 8. making 12 of their runs In the first three innings. Clyde Carlstrom was pitching for Dor- rls when Crapo hit his polnt-of-lsue drive.

(P) Hale and hearty as his 80th birthday approaches. Veteran Football Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg believes the war will have but little effect on' the game, and when It's over there will be an expansion in gridiron interest. I don t think the war will affect the quality of the teams very much, especially at the large universities," said the white-haired College of Pacific mentor who coached University of Chicago teams through the Spanish-American and World wars. "The big schools have to much material In normal timet that they never utilize all of it. There It still plenty of it avail able for good football teams." And after the war,' Stagg said in an interview, interest in foot ball should pick up because to many service men will have played the game, perhapt for the first time. 'There will always be a strong inclination for outdoor life and sports, and I have an idea that if the war lasts a long time, sports admission prices will go down, which will not be bad thing." Stagg t 53rd football cam paign this year will be tougher than usual, for he will train his Pacific squad without the help of an assistant. Ralph Francis, the second in command last year, is now a lieutenant in the army. Pacific, always a tough little team with a reputation for knocking over the big fellows, faces a schedule including Uni versity of Washington and the star-studded Navy Pre-Flight school at Moraga.
