MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1942 Cards Blank Yanks 2-0 to Take One-Game Lead in World Series PAGE TWO SIX SINGLES BY E "jtedbirds Score In Third and , Ninth Victors Field in . Sensational Style. By Jack Cuddy , United Pres Correspondent .. New York, Oct. 3 (U.PJ The Inspired St. Louis Cardinals. ' seizing advantage of every break and aided by the shut-out pitch ing of Southpaw Ernie White, defeated the New York Yankees :J to 0, today in the third game -of the world series. - It was the first time the Yan "kees had been shut out in a world series game since 1928 when Jess Haines of these same ' Cardinals turned the trick. To-'-day's victory sent the Cardinals Into the lead, two games to one ,the first time the Yankees '.Jiave been behind in the "games Won" column of the world series .since the 1926 championship, ' The official attendance was 89,123 largest crowd ever to see a world series game. A crowd that stretched to the top rafters of Yankee stadium on this afternoon watched White hold the sluggers In the Yankees' batting order to six scattered hits. Spurgeon Chandler, carrying the hopes of the Yankees, yield ed only three hits before he re tired for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. But the Cardi nals, making no mistakes and surging through to capitalize on every break, were not to be de nied. The Cards made their first tally in the third inning after Slats Marion was thrown out. apparently while trying to beat out a bunt. Manager Billy Southworth of the Cards object ed vigorously, claiming that the bunt had landed first in the bat ter's box and hence should be foul. After a lengthy huddle with the four umpires, it was de cided that the ball had gone foul and that Marion was not out. Another Chance Whitey Kurowskl was on first at the time. Marion, back at bat, tried the bunt business again and beat it out this time, thereby saving an all-important out and advancing Kurowskl to second. Both Kurowskl and Marlon advanced on the next play when Pitcher White was out on a sac rifice, and Kurowskl scored the first run of the game when Jim my Brown was thrown out after fast grounder to Cordon. The Cards registered their next run in the turbulent ninth session, aided by Breuer's wild throw to second. Brown had singled to right. Then fast stepping Terry Moore reached first on fielder's choice, as Breuer tried to throw out Brown at second, but his toss to Rizzuto was wild, permitting Brown to advance to third and Moore to make second. Brown scored when Country Slaughter singled to center. The suspense held the crowd In its seats until the last out an out that caused a groan from the thousands of Yankee fans. Joe Dimaggio was on first base by virtue of his single to right. Joe Cordon and Roy Cul lenbine were out, and up to the plate stepped Big Charlie "King Kong" Keller. Keller made a mighty try. He blasted the ball toward the right field stands. The crowd rose with a frenzied roar, but the ball settled into the waiting hands of Slaughter Just In front of the 344 foot sign on the lower right stands. A couple more feet of altitude would have transformed it into a four-bagger instead of the final out. "Homers" Flogged But that was Just one of the bad breaks the Yanks got today. They missed two potential hom ers by similar margins in the seventh Inning. Joe Gordon sent drive sailing toward the dis tant left field stands, but it dropped back Into the eagei hands of Musial, who had his back against the lower boxes And the next man up, Keller, whammed one out to the right field stands in almost the same spot whre Slaughter took his next mighty drive in the ninth. Some of the fans yelled, "Rob ber! robber! when Slaughter pulled down that first Keller drive in the seventh. In the dressing room Managei Joe McCarthy announced that he will send to the Yankee mound tomorrow Hank Borowy, right-hander. Hank will face either Southpaw Max Lanier or (light-handed Mort Cooper, who lost the opening contest for the Cards. Box score: At.

Iowa Naval Fliers Hand Gophers First Defeat In 19 Games Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 4 (U.R) One of football's great winning streaks was shattered today as the Iowa Pre-flifiht Naval Training school edged the University of Minnesota 7 to 6 In a thrill-packed game before 37,500 spectators. The loss was the first for Min nesota in 19 contests and by a quirk caused by the war the de feat was administered by a team coached by Lt. Col. Bernie Bier man, the. gray-haired grid genius who built up the Gophers' string over a stretch of three seasons before he answered the call to service. The game was a savage bat tle between two fast, rugged and alert lii.es. The touchdowns both came In the first quarter and were scored in electrifying fashion. Minnesota hopped Into the lead eight minutes after the opening kickoff when Bill Daley. the Gophers' great left halfback, sprinted 55 yards on a perfectly executed play. His attempt for the extra point was blocked. Shortly before the opening period ended, Fisher punted to Herman Frickey who caught the ball on the fly on the gopher two-yard-line instead of letting It roll across the goal line. Punt ing from behind his own goal line. Frickey kicked back to Fisher and the former Ohio State star took It on the Minne sota 38-yard line and ran for the touchdown. Fred Gage of 1111 noia made the conversion to put the cadets In front to stay.

CAVEMEN AERIAL ATTACK CONQUERS TIGERS, 12 TO 8 Clayton Passes Twice to Lathrop For Touchdowns Adams For Locals. Southern Oregon Conference W. L. Pet, Grants Pass 1 Medford 0 Klamath Falls 0 Ashland ......... . 0 1.000 .000 .000 .000 Two unerring forward passes from Southpaw Ray Clayton to big Chet Lathrop gave the in spired Grants Pass Cavemen a pair of touchdowns and a 12 to 6 'conquest of Medford's Black Tornado here Friday night in the opening game of the 1942 Southern Oregon conference season. Clayton's second scoring aerial, fired from the nine-yard line, occurred early in the fourth period and broke a 6 to 6 tie. Lathrop, right end, was standing all alone In the right corner of the end zone when he flagged the whistling leather to give Grants Pass its first vic tory over Medford in 12 years. It was way back in 1930 when the Cavemen had last whipped the locals. By a strange coin cidence, the coach of that Grants Pass team was Leonard B. May field, present principal of Med ford high. The score of the game was 7 to 6. The Tornado, whose running attack' was throttled to 22 net yards gained by the great de fensive play of the two Cate men ends, Lathrop and Jerry Edwards, plus potency in the middle of the forward wall, managed to launch only one scoring drive, with the touch down coming a half-minute be fore the half-time gun. 89-Yard March The Tigers started on their own 33 and went 63 yards, cli maxing the surge by sending Hal Adams, right halfback, wide around his own left end from two yards out. Adams' at tempted placekick for the extra point was blocked, leaving the half-time score 6-6. Bill Bayliss started the drive with a two-yard blast through center and Jack Baker picked up 13 on a quarterback sneak. Bayliss then shot a forward pass to Bob Davis, good for 23 yards and Davis fired to Steve Dippel for 14 and a first down on the Grants Pass 10. Davis made six at right end, Bayliss two at center and a pass was incomplete. On fourth down Adams went wide around the left flank and scored standing up. The Cavemen got their first touchdown on the opening piny of the second quarter. With the ball on Medford's 45-yard stripe, Clayton faded back and to his left and cut loose with a bullet pass down the middle that Lathrop grabbed on the 30. He broke loose from two tack- lers and raced straight into the end zone. Johnny Gray's place- kick was blocked. Grants Pass' clinching touch down was set up by a Medford lateral pass which misfired. Bayliss fumbled the ball and Lathrop recovered on the Med ford' 12. Gray shot a pass to Edwards good for three yards, and on the next play Clayton tossed to Lathrop in the end cone for the ball game. Gray's placekick was wide. Tornado Outplayed The Tigers, although they made six first downs to Grants Pass" five, were completely out played on the ground and In the air. Medford got only 22 yards from rushing to Grants Pass' 82, and made 72 yards on six com pleted passes out of IS at tempted to Grants Pass' 108 yards through the air on five completions In nine tries. Gray, the Caveman left half back, was the big ground-gainer for the winners. He accounted I for 91 yards on 16 carries. I Baker, with 19 yards gained in I four carries, led what offense I the Tornado showed on the ground. Only in the punting depart ment did the locals show su periority, Adams averaging 41 yards on six boots to the 33 8 Grants Pass average on the same number of kicks. The game was bitterly fought. At one point a wild flurry of WINDOWS and DOORS PADGHAM 1303 1309 Court St. fists occurred In front of the Medford bench, and all through the contest both teams blocked and tackled in Jarring fashion. The Tornado has an open date this week then plays Klam ath Falls here the night of uctober 10. . A disarming exhibition was given at half-time by soldiers of the Blst division.
