Odds Favor Yanks, Who
i Have 2-1 Lead Russo
. May Face Cooper in Next.

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. '

Thus Far Kurowski of

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.
STAGG'S ELEVEN
TO BATTLE BEARS
San Francisco, Oct 8 flJB--The
amazing Amos Alonzo
Stagg, whose career proves that
Ponce de Leon wasn't such a
crackpot after all, brings his un
beaten College of Pacific Tigers
Into Berkeley tomorrow to face
,Jhetr first major test of the sea
son with the still-dangerous
Bears of California.
Rangy Johnny Podesto, whose
bullet passes have blasted the
hopes of three straight Pacific
opponents, again will be Stagg's
main offensive threat. 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.
Pacific should be a 2 to 1
choice by kickoff time, with ap
proximately 35.000 expected to
be in the stands.

New York. Oct. 8 fU.PJ The best football program of the
season tomorrow sandwiched between world series baseball
games gives sports fans a quick transition from horsehide to
hogshide and a chance to choose between perfect record teams
in three feature games.
)-0
WIN OVER PASS
The Navy, with its four-team
manpower situation, is a 8 to 9
choice to beat Duke's Blue
Devils, thus far unscored upon.
The Duke line may be hard put
to stop the Navy s fast backs.
Army: considered the east s
top team, Is booked at 8 to 1 over
Temple, while Yale Is 8 to 6
over Columbia In other east
i in Di4i.k...k a.nh i
twice beaten, is listed at 7 to 5 to
beat West Virginia, while Col
gate, crushed by Army, is rated
an 8 to 8 choice to bound back
against Penn State.' Cornell la 7
to 5 over Princeton.
The midwest offers only one
standout game, but most of the
others are rated fairly even,
though few of the teams have im
posing records. Purdue Is a 2 to
choice over Camp Grant, In
diana about 3 to 1 over Nebraska
and Wisconsin 8 to 2 over Illi
nois. Other midwest games, fav
orites first include Great Lakes
Ohio State, Iowa Pre-Flight-Iowa,
Marquette-Lawrence and
Iowa State-Kansas.
The annual classic of the range
country between Oklahoma and
Texas finds the teams - about
evenly matched, with some odds
makers listing Texts a 8 to 5
favorite. Texas Aggies are 9 to
over Louisiana State in an in-
tersectlonal game.
College of Pacific, unbeaten
thus far, puts its record against
well regarded California, and
the Berkeley Bears are 7 to 8
favorites. In other . western and
Rocky Mountain games South
ern California rates distinctly
over St. Mary's Pre-Fllght,
UCLA over March Field, Colo
rado over Utah and Colorado
College over Denver.
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. It. should be an even
up game, as Klamath downed
Grants Pass, 7 to 0 earlier in
the season. t

Press Correspondent)
New York. Oct 8. (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."

TORPEDOES SHIP
(By United Prass)
An Allied submarine prob
ably American that slipped to
the western side of Japan has
sunk a passenger vessel between
the mainland and Korea, with a
possible loss of 644 lives, Tokyo
radio said today.
The scene of the attack was
little more than 500 miles off
the China coast on the shipping
line between Shlmonoseki, on
Honshu, the main island of
Japan, and Fusan, Korean port
150 miles away.
The broadcast,' recorded by U.
S. monitors, located the sinking
near Oki island, in Tsushima
strait which lies at the south
end of the Sea of Japan.
Tokyo said the sinking oc
curred Tuesday and that only
72 persons were known to have
been saved of the 616 aboard the
vessel, identified as the Kondon
Mam of the Shimonoseki-Fusan
line. A later broadcast called
the vessel the "Konron Maru."
Neither ship is listed in Lloyd's
register.

men for the meat industry warn

next food problem may be bring
ing home the bacon. .
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. Actually, they
said, there is a record supply of
hogs on mid western feed lots.
But they are not being shipped
to market because of the feed
shortage, and because of the
lowered price ceilings on live
hogs which went into effect
Monday, Farmers are unable to
make t "reasonable, prof it" on
their hogs because the cost of
fattening the animals is high,
packers said.
