In the opinion of a highly
qualified observer, the 1942
Grants Pass Cavemen, who in
vade Medford next Friday night
to battle the Black Tornado in
the Southern Oregon conference
curtain-raiser, have what it takei
to become the most potent Cli
mate City eleven in recent his
tory. The observed is sports-minded,
Ex-grld-coach Leonard B. May
field, Medford high principal,
who was among those present
when the Cavemen and the
North Bend Bulldogs battled to
a 6 6 standoff Friday night.
Returning from his "scouting"
trip with notebook full of facts
and figures concerning Jim
Keith's aggregation, Mayfield re
ported: "They have potentially
the strongest team seen in
Grants Pass in a number of
years.
'They have a big line and
their backs are very fast. Al
though they used only six
plays during the game they
showed real flashes of future
offensive strength."
Mayfield war especially Im
pressed with the blinding speed
of Johnny Gray and Ray Clay
ton, the halfbacks. Though they
failed to break into the open for
long scoring runs, every time
they carried the ball a touchdown-threat
was present.
If, as Mayfield claims, the
Cavemen are potentially the
strongest team to represent
Grants Pass In years, they 11 cer
tainly make things tough for
Lome Arnold s light and rather
Inexperienced Tigers. We re
member the Caveman machine
of two years ago, with Bill Davis
doing the fullbacking, which
gave the Tornado a terrific eve
ning before bowing by a 20 to
0 score. That was the only game
Grants Poss lost, and If this
year's outfit Is any better, or
even as good, our boys will have
their hands full.
Before turning the remaining
portion of this column over to

Praise for Larry MacPhail
Sung by U. Ps Jack Cyddy
By Jack Cuddy
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Sept 29. (U.R) Singing songs of praise for a
particular individual in sports has never been my special forte.
But as Larry MacPhail sings his baseball Swan song and enters
the army, let me say that the red-haired former president of
the Brooklyn Dodgers leaves behind a stronger single impression
than any one man ever connected with the game.
I know they call the Yankee i
stadium the "House that Babe
Ruth Built" and classify the
great slugger as "Mr. Baseball."
That is all well and good, for I
have no wish to belittle the
Babe. But to my mind, when
the complex, Volatile MacPhail
bid goodbye to Brooklyn, he left
baseball men with a definite
sense of loss
Laughing Larry has been
will be again, we hope one of
the keenest, most complex yet
clear-headed most intense and
talented personalities ever as
sociated with the national pas
time.
True, Brooklyn lost the Na
tional league pennant to the St.
Louis Cardinals. But even had
they won and progressed to an
eventual World series victory In
a return meeting with the New
York Yankees, Ebbets field and
the Dodgers would never have
seemed the same without Mac
Phail.
Larry's successor may meet
with even greater success than
the red head. Still it is doubt
ful that the future fortunes of
the Dodgers will make as strong
call to public affection.
It wasn't how many pennants
Larry actually won or lost, nor
the money he spent In acquiring
new faces for the Brooklyn al
bum. It was Instead that Inde
finable something that the often
truculent, always-argumentative
and sometimes-dictatorial veter
an of the last war lent to the
Dodgers.
His diamond deeds were le
gion even before he came to
Flatbush. It was his far-sighted
genius that fathered night base
ball into being a tremendous
success in the major leagues.
Earlier, he took his talents to
Cincinnati and brought the Cin
cinnati Reds higher on the base
ball pile than they had ever
been before.
But it was In Brooklyn that
he really fit Into the groove.
He took a club that nationally
had become a butt for humerous
parodies and comic-strip base
ball, making it a major league
force that gained the respect
and, at the same time, the lik
ing of the general public. At
tendance, morale and the Brook
lyn bankroll all fattened with
the advent of MacPhail.

Alsab carries top weight of 126
pounds over a mile and five fur

appearance at a New York track
since he trailed Shut Out in the
Belmont stakes last June.
With the three-year-old cham
pion, Shut Out, having a lame
leg, the 'Sab promises to be a
short-priced favorite in the four
