MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD - OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1943 PAGE SEVEN SQRX YANKS FIGHTING TOI May be Sharp For World Series Russo Beats Ath letics, 5-1 With 4 Hits. New York, Sept. 17010 The New York Yankees, who had the American league pen nant all wrapped up at this time last year, may benefit from the slight delay they are experienc ing in the clinching of the 1943 flag. In as much as the Yankees still need to win five games, this entire squad is battling right down to the wire. Last year the cards had to go the full 154 games to clinch the National league flag and as a result were on edge when the series rolled around. The Yanks, on the oth er hand, had plenty of time to rest before the series and as evi denced by the outcome of last year's fall classic, the layoff did them no good. Yesterday Marlus Russo. whose record of three wins and nine losses certainly didn't estab lish him as a possibility in the series, tossed a four-hitter to de feat the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-1, and extend the Yanks' win ning streak to nine games. The Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Braves traded tri umphs in a double-header high lighted by Al Javery's one-hit performance in the nightcap. Schoolboy Howe notched his 14th decision in the opener, 9-2. Ray Hamrick, Philadelphia rookie from Nashville, first man up in the nightcap, lined a sin gle off Javery's glove to spoil a no-hitter. Ron Northey was the only other batter to get on base, drawing Javery's only pass in the fourth as the Braves went on to an 8-0 shutout. In the only other National league contest, the circuit-leading St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs, 7-5, In the first of a six-game series. AD LISKA FLINGS BEAVERS TO 2-1 WIN OVER SEALS (By United Press) The third and fourth place Seattle Ra inters and Portland Beavers both sported two game leads today in the Pacific Coast league post season playoffs, after the Beavers shaded the San Francisco Seals, 2-1, y ester day. Seattle resumes its series with the Champion Los Angeles An gels in Los Angeles tomorrow, while the Seals and Beavers clash in San Francisco. The northern teams need two more wins each out of seven-game series to qualify for the finals of the president's cup play. At Portland yesterday, the five-hit pitching of Ad Llska and home runs by John Gill and Rupe Thompson brought the Beavers their second straight one-run victory. Seal Pitcher Bob Joyce hurled seven-hit ball, but gave up the two circuit clouts and four two-baggers as well. Henry Stelnbacher hit a hom er for San Francisco with two out in the ninth for the lone Seal tally. Score: San Francisco 1 S 1 Portland 2 7 1 Joyce and Sprinz, Ogrodow sky; Llska and Adams. Schmidt today that despite the youth and inexperience of his University of Idaho grid squad it will be able to put on good show. Another youthful candidate, Jim Higgins, halfback from Wal lace, Idaho, won praise with his accurate passing at yesterday's drill sessions. However, Idaho's greatest problem is to attract enough players to field a team and still have reserve power in case of injuries, said the coach.
