PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1943. TRAVEL FOR 4TH Odds Favor Yanks, Who i Have 2-1 Lead Russo . May Face Cooper in Next. By Leo H. Petersen United Press Correspondent En Route to St. Louis, Oct. 8 (U.PJ The St. Louis Cardinals, having lost the crucial third game to the world series to give the New York Yankees a two to one edge, hoped to ride their litters away today. Their backs to the wall, psychologically and actually, Manager Billy Southworth felt confident his boys would snap out of their fielding slump by the time they return to the fa miliar environs of Sportsman s park for the fourth game Sun' day. As the Redblrd skipper tried to cheer his gloomy crew, the Yankees, determined to press their advantage, were in a Jovial mood. Long noted as a team that will take advantage of every break, the Yanks did just that yesterday to win the game which in nine of the past 10 series has been taken by the club that went on to win the cham clonshlp. . Manager Joe McCarthy admit ted the Yankees received the breaks as they took advantage of the sloppy St. Louis play to rally for five runs in the eighth inning and turn a 2 to 1 deficit Into a 6 to 2 advantage which stood up. But he was sure that even if the Cardinals return to form his Yankees would carry through from now on with their batting power and pitching. Make Own Breaks "After all," he said, "we made the breaks. This isn't a pink tea party, you know." t If Billy the Kid can snap his Redbirds out of it, they still have a chance to make it two world championships. For the Cardinals are a dead game club. But the odds are against 'them. - McCarthy felt so confident that he said he probably would gamble on southpaw Marius Russo, who has been bothered all season with a lame arm, in Sunday's game,- thus giving Spurgeon Chandler, who won the opening contest, an extra day's rest. But he added that he might change his mind and come back with Chandler, who had the lowest earned run aver age of any major league hurler this season.

Although every section has at least one top notch contest, quick coast to coast summary in dicates that these three games bear most significantly on the national rating of top teams Notre Dame-Michigan at Ann Arbor. Mich. Navy-Duke at Baltimore (night). Pennsylvania Dartmouth at Philadelphia. The powerful Notre Dame eleven, which has shown more early . season scoring potency than any Irish team since the days of Coach Knute Rockne, goes Into the Michigan game a bare favorite. (About 6 to 5 man in the street odds). The differ ence in offensive strength prob ably represents the margin since Notre Dame has averaged 48 points in two games, while the Wolverines have averaged 33 in three. Pennsylvania, because' of strength in the backfleld, rates 8 to 5 over Dartmodth, lost now attaining the form expected of it.

Podesto will be flanked in the backfield by three of his former St. Mary's college teammates, all of whom are marine or naval students.

Medford junior high's gridiron forces launched their four-game, 1943 schedule here last night with a 8 to 0 victory over the Grants Pass freshmen. The Bulldogs, coached by Lee Grant, scored their lone touch down in the first period when Earl Stelle, halfback, plunged over from the three-yard line. The contest, marked by num erous fumbles on the part of both clubs, saw Medford roll, up yardage almost at will in the middle of the field but bog down when the goal line loomed closely. The visitors threw up a stout defense but displayed very little offensive strength. Medford s next game will be against the Klamath Falls fresh men here the afternoon of Octo ber 14.

(U.PJ- Third base certainly has become the "hot corner" of the current World Series, with attention focused upon Rookie Billy John son of the Yanks and Whitey Kurowski of the Cards. As the teams travel to St. Louis today, sandy-haired, moon' faced Johnson is being measured for a hero's laurel wreath; whereas blond Kurowski the lad who wore the wreath after last year's classic is the lead ing candidate for goat horns. Johnson, a middle-sized chap of 25 from Montclair, N. J., tops the series batting with .417, af ter making five hits, driving in three runs and scoring three runs in 12 trips to the plate dur ing the three games. Moreover he has fielded flawlessly. Three-Run Triple In yesterday's contest Billy stepped up to the plate, with the bases loaded, in the big eighth inning at Yankee stadium before the largest crowd in series history, and slammed the ball to deep left center for a triple that rang up three tallies. This blow won the game, al though the New Yorkers tri umphed, 6-2, in what many ex perts regard as the classic's "crucial" contest Coincidentally, 25 - year - old Kurowski of Reading, Pa., was a principal In setting the stage for Johnson's triple with his second error of the day. It worked out like this: ' Johnny Lindell started the Yanks' eighth-inning rally with a single; he continued to second on Harry Walker's error. Snuf fy Stirnweiss, a plnch-hitter. was safe at first on a fielder's choice when the Cards' flrst sacker, Ray Sanders, tried to nail Lindell at third. Kurowski received the throw alright; but he 'dropped the ball when big Lindell crashed into him in a desperate slide for the bag. The impact knocked the breath out of Kurowski and sent him sprawling. - Umpire Beans Reardon ljuled Lindell "safe." 30-Year Sentence ' For German Spy Rio De Janeiro.Voct. 8 U.R Niels Christiensen, the axis spy who radioed German sub marines the. date of the depar ture of the liner Queen Mary when she left Rio last, march with about 10,000 men aboard, was sentenced today to 30 years in prison.

Civilian consumers may feel the effects of a temporary re duction in pork supplies "within the next few days," they said. Meat packers said the short age is artificial.
