MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1948 Pennant Race Unchanged as Cards and Dodgers Both Conquer Foes PAGE FOUR REDBIRDS DEFEAT ,2-1; NOSE PHILS, 3-1 Ernie White Flings 6-Hitter For Cards Higbe Fans .11 For 15th Victory. By Paul Scheffels United Press Correspondent New York, Sept. 22 U.F9 The final and decisive blow has yet to be struck but apparently It Is on the way for the Brooklyn Dodgers. By Thursday Friday ' at the latest the National league pennant should belong to the St. Louis Cardinals. Today the Cardinals have five more games to play and the Dodgers six. The Redblrds now hold a 2Vt game lead over the flopping flatbushers and any combination totaling four will live them the flag. Even If Brooklyn wins all its remaining contests, the Cardinals have only to win three to clinch tie. St. Louis staged a ninth-inning rally that has become typical of their recent play to nose out the Pirates. 2-1. yesterday and maintain their margin over the Dodgeri who defeated the Phils, 8-1. Brown Hero Ernie White stopped the Plr ates with six hits as the Cards cored the winning run after Martin Marion had walked with one out. White failed to. sacri fice but Marion stole second and then moved to third when White eventually grounded out. Jimmy Brown singled sharply to right to score Marlon and end the game. Kirby Hlgbe halted the Phils with four hits and fanned 11 as he racked up his 15th win. His wlldness he walked five got him Into occasional trouble but he did a masterful Job in the first inning when the Phils load ed the bases with none out. In that crisis, he polished off Danny Litwhller and Nick Etten on pop flies and fanned Bill Burich. Merrill May scored the Phils' only run on a wild pitch. All the Brooklyn runs, scored In the first inning, were un earned. Etten's fumble of Arky Vaughan'i grounder gave the Dodgers their chance. Dolph Camilli's single, Lloyd Waners error, a double by Augie Calan and Mickey Owen's single were the run-producers. Over the rest of the way. Si Johnson confined , Brooklyn to four hits.

Cuddy Upholds Army Press Agents on Sports Subjects Br Jack Cuddr United Press Staff Correspondent New York. Sept. 22 flJ.R) We suggest that tha various sports columnists stop trying to tell the men in charge of army public relations what should be dona about sports during the war. We make this suggestion be. cause, during the past week, we have been exposed to a couple of columns which insinuate that the possible continuation of pro fessional sports during the next year would be a direct slap In the face for the men who are fighting and to their families. Whether this is true we do not know. But we are confident that the men at the head of the public relations bureaus of the army, navy and other service branches know more about what should be done with sports dur ing the war than any civilian sports columnist whose outlook may be governed entirely by what the war may mean to him personally. There have been insinuations. for example, that the payment of money to Sgt. Joe Louis and Private Billy Conn for engaging In a heavyweight title battle on Oct. 12 will have an adverse ef fect upon the morale of all ath letes in service and the civilian population. Without disclosing any mili tary secrets, we can tell you now that the matter of paying Cham pion Louis for this title defense was considered for months by the most able minds In the war department brass hats far above the public relations divis ion. Because of certain aspects of the Louis case, the decision to pay Joe was one of the smart est ever made a decision af fecting the morale of millions of persons in service and out. This very touchy question of morale as it affected a large and im portant sector of our fighting men and civilians never was mentioned in any service com munique. So we will not enlarge upo it now. The question of paying Conn was never an issue. at all. His private debts are being paid merely because Louis Is being taken care of. The entire matter was handled adroitly by the war department, regardless of and misinformed critics, as you doubtless will learn after we have won the war. Similarly, certain columnists are foaming at the mouth be cause there is a possibility that major league baseball may be continued In 1943 that able- bodied men, who might be out there fighting, are indulging in our national pastime and getting paid for It. Gentlemen, you may rest as sured that we will have no major league or minor league base ball, for that matter, next year unless the men who know what is best decide that the continu ation of baseball is best. And nothing that we or any alarmist columnist can writ will affect the situation.

TORNADO DRILLS CARS ARE NEEDED Two problems face Coach Lome Arnold this week as he sends his Black Tornado football squad through stiff practice ses sions in preparation for its in vasion of Marshfleld next Friday afternoon to face Orvllle (Red) Bailey's conquerers of Portland's Washington high by a 7 to 0 score last Friday. One is correcting the mistakes and faults displayed by the Tor nado when it defeated Yreka, (Cal.), 13 to 0 here Friday night. The other Is obtaining a suffi cient number of private automo biles to transport all deserving squad members to Marshfleld and return. Arnold said that perhaps the biggest weakness shown by the Tigers in the Yreka game was the manner in which the linemen stood straight up on defense, in stead of getting down low and driving hard into the attack. On offense, he said, the linemen didn't charge like they should and the backs ran "too high." He also pointed out that play timing was not what it should be, and that occasionally the tackling and blocking was poor. The sauad. which came through the opener with only the usual amount of bruises, wiu practice tonight and Wednesday night, and leave for Marshfleld at 1 p. m. Thursday.
