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

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.
