nounced by Betting Commis

Bonham on the mound and
6 to 5 against the Cardinals
winning with Mort Cooper

New York, Sept. 28 U.R
The major leagues closed the
books on one of their most spec
tacular seasons today as the St.
Louis Cardinals and New York
Yankees took time out for two
days before squaring off in the
world series on Wednesday.
Although the diamond cam
paign began this year under
the ominous shadow of war,
with military needs cutting into
player personnel, the dramatic
triumph of the Cardinals over
the Dodgers in the National
league and the Yankees' second
consecutive victory in the Amer
ican league, gave promise of the
most colorful series in years.
The Cards' great stretch drive
43 victories in the final 51
games, gave them the cham
pionship at sportsman's park
yesterday. The Cards won a
doubleheader from the Chicago
Cubs, 9-2 and 4-1, and clinched
the flag via Ernie White's five
hitter in the opener. The twin
win left the Cardinals' final
margin over the Dodgers, who
beat the Phils, 4-3, at two
games, while the Cubs dupli
cated last year's windup by
finishing in sixth place.

Cuddy Pick Cards to Whip
Yankees in Autumn Classic
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 28 (U.PJ Look out below! We're climbing
right out on that high, shaky limb nd picking the Cardinals to
beat the Yankees in the world series.
We re selecting the St. Louis j
swifties to take the series four
games to three in one of the
greatest classics of baseball his
tory. We like the Red Birds be
cause of their winning momen
tum, their fighting edge, their
youthful speed and their luck
among other things.
Lady Luck quite likely will
prove an ultra-important factor
in this particular series, which
promises top-flight pitching and
lightning infield play by both
outfits. Although both clubs
pack dangerous batting punch,
we don't expect long-driving to
turn the tide because:
1. Both teams have excellent
outfields. 2. The pitchers seem
capable of preventing distance
spot-hitting. Therefore, we say:
Watch for the infield breaks, and
watch the Cards take advantage
of those breaks.
We may be looking at the
clubs from a cock-eyed angle,
but we prefer the Cardinals
pitching staff because it appar
ently is better balanced. Billy
Southworth has two ace right
handers, Coper and Beazley, and
two good southpaws, Lanier and
White, whom he can use as start
ers. And for relief he has South
paw Pollet and Right-handers
Krist, Gumbrt and Dickson.

Editorial Comment
A discussion arose this week
as to the treatment of soldiers
in various cities, with Medford
panned rather severely by a
soldier who expressed a very
definite preference for Ashland
and Grants Pass.
The main point to remember
in this discussion, however. Is
that Ashland is treating the
service men excellently, and
the service men, both officers
and non-commissioned men, ap
preciate this.
Any city and any group of
citizenry that gives them less
CONGER
FUNERAL HOME
than the best of treatment,
cordially and fairness deserves
criticism, and we sincerely hope
that Ashland will not deserve
such criticism during the stay
