Tl GAME IMPORTANT IN DISTRICT RACE Pair, With Cavemen, Only Ones Unbeaten Klam ' ath Has Brilliant Record.; War Produces Biggest Boom In History Of Horse Racing : m By Jack Cuddy r: - United Press Staff Correspondent. New York, Oct. 12 U.PJ Ai world series frenzy subsides let ui take a- quick gander at that most amazing of wartime snorts horse racing which, in the New York area at least. is completing the most fabulous chapter in turf history. Never before has racing In one The game that may well de cide the high school football championship of the southern Oregon district, and with it the right to compete for theofficial state prep title, will be played on Modoc field in Klamath Falls Friday night between Medford's Black Tornado and the heavy scoring Klamath Pelicans. - The two, with Grants Pass, are the only major elevens still unbeaten in this district. Ash land has lost to Klamath, Marsh field has been beaten by Grants Pass and Medford, North Bend has been whacked by Grants Pass and Bend has felt the club of the Cavemen. Roseburg, also in the southern Oregon district. hasn't played a district team but was beaten last Friday, 7 to . by University high of Eugene, which isn't rated overly strong. State Split The state has been split Into four districts, with the four teams boosting the best records within their respective districts slated to enter the championship playoffs. Thus, the loser of the Medford-Klamath game will be virtually eliminated from dis trict title consideration and the chance at the state champion ship. Frank Ramsey's Pelicans, four deep in almost every position, have compiled the most glitter ing record of any prep team in Oregon. In four games they have piled up -140 points to their opponents' 32, an average of 33 points to eight. They have defeated. In succession, Ashland by a 31 to 13 score; Grant high, co-leader of the Portland circuit, 7 to 6; Salem, 31 to 13 and Oregon City, 71 to 0. . Against that terrific escutch eon, Lorne Arnold's Black Tor nado can show 53 points scored in three games as compared to 20 for the opposition, or an average of 17.7 against the foes' 6.7. Medford has whipped Yre ka, Calif., 33 to 13 and Marsh field, 14 to 0. The locals tied Eureka, Calif., 6 to 6 last Sat urday. t . Both Run Klamath, thus far, has relied mainly on a powerful running attack stemming from the single wing, with very few passes. Medford has done the same, and has more or less played very conservative football. History has proved, however, that past' performances mean little or nothing when the two perennial southern Oregon pow ers meet in their annual classic, and it would surprise nobody to see one or both open up with fancy stuff they haven't . dis played all year. . $6,123.20 GOES TO EACH YANKEE St. Louis, Oct. 12 U.B The New York Yankees, cutting the winners' share of the world se ries "melon," each found them selves $6123 20 richer today when their share of the receipts, $204,962.41, was divided. The St. Louis Cardinals each gathered $4321.09. The Yank voted $9020 to former teammates now in the armed forces and the Red Birds voted several awards of $500 to last year's members, now in the service. A share of the receipts amount ing to $146,401.72 will be divid ed among the second, third and fourth place cluhs In each league Stores in the Spanish quarter of Tampa. Ebor City, often post signs "English Spoken Here." locality recorded the staggering figures for money bandied or attendance that are disclosed in the state racing commissions report for 159 days of the met ropolitan season, Including Bel mont park's program Saturday. The mutuel handle far those 159 days totaled $231,618,065 an increase of $88,215,695 over the corresponding 159 days last year. Total attendance was 2,938,997 persons almost as many as the 3,007,490 who attended the combined home games of the Yankees, Dodgers ana Ulants in their big-attend ance season of 1941. ... These million figures are more comprehendable when broken down into an average of 18,484 persons who went to the track daily this season; each, person betting an average of $10.30 a race, and an average of $78.80 a day. Thats tops in per capita wagering on any sport over an extended period. Last year, an average of 14,842 persons each bet $7.99 a race and $60.76 a day. Three racing plants operated in the metropolis during those 159 golden days, but only one at a time Belmont, Aqueduct and Jamaica. Belmont's con cluding meeting closed Satur day; yesterday the horses start ed running again at Jamaica where they will continue until well into November. Bv that time tne total mutuel handle for '43 May approach $275.- 000,000. The dally average handle this year has been- $1,456,717, ex ceeding last year's average of $uiu,uui per day. A new all time record handle for a single day was established at Aqueduct on Labor day when 40,826 per sons wagered $2,926,702. That was when With Regards won the $10,000 Aqueduct handicap. Racing officials give three reasons for the big crowds and heavy betting at the track: (1) the public's war prosperity; (2) the public's inability to spend its money on such things as new automobiles, radios, and luxu ries, and (3) the public's war sharpened yen for. entertainment. PAYING DIVIDENDS Chicago,' Oct 12 U.B The imprint of the football centos of the late Knute Rockne on Notre Dame remains Indelible to day as the Irish roll on toward another national championship. It is a Rockne touch vouthful Frank Leahy Inherited from the "Old Master" 15 years ago that nas paid lucrative dividends and pushed Notre Dame to the toD among tne nation's undefeated and untied grid combinations. Leahy made a radical move a season ago when he junked the traditional Rockne offense to In stall the "T' formation. How ever, the 35-year-old coach re tained "Rock's" unit substitu tion system for the 1942 cam paign, and it is that replacement dan which has contributed heav ily to the success of the current Irish outfit.

Oct. 12. (U.PJThe 1943 World Series has been written into the record books as a New York victory, but today the perplexing question, "what happened to the Cardinals?' starts its way around a hot- stove league which literally has ciuds around tne globe. How . could the slam-bans Cards, who took four straight irom tne xankees last year, once they got under way, fluff out in live games? The Cards, admittedly not strong on Ditch ing, had been heralded as a hit ting team. Cardinal Manager Billy South- worth, completely relaxed for tne first time since the series started, pointed out the major reason tor tne loss when he said his hitting collapsed with men on bases. "The hitting in this series could be covered with a postage stamp, Dut witn every year mere s another series, he said, Like Joe McCarthy, who has managed the Yankees to seven series victories in eight tries. Southworth . said the pitching was exceptional throughout. ''If anyone had told me be fore the series that I would get pitching like this," Southworth said, "I would have told him 'it was in the bag.' " - "" "Billy the Kid," whose feud with New York sportswriters developed into the "silent treat ment" On both sides, along with the rest of the Cardinals, ap peared less down-hearted than was expected after taking the short-end of the player pool. No Turning Point McCarthy and his Yankees were jubilant, of course, break ing out of their usual superior attitude long enough to caper like kids. But a few moments of that was enough and they rushed to entrain for those acti vities a ball player indulges in during the off 'season." While this series had its dramatic moments, such as Mort Cooper s universally popular Victory in the second game shortly after his father's death, there was no spectacular turning point upon which- the victory hinged. Last year it was the ninth inning in which the Cards tallied four times that set ' off the hell-for-leather type of play which dismayed the over-con fident New Yorkers. This year the series progressed just as the Yankees wanted . it business like, with orthodox .baseball throughout and none of tnis hurry-scurry stuff. DUTCH BOY PAINTS Full Stock .

SHOES MAIN FLOOR In that' manner of ball play ing the Yankees have no peer, and maybe some blame for the Cardinal debacle can be laid to an over-cautious, scared-to-lose attitude. New York was undoubtedly the superior ball club, a fact Southworth admitted after the series. But, the Redbird pilot confidently looked forward to another meeting with the Yan kees next year, agreeing with Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lan dis, who poked his head in the Cardinal locker room long enough to say, "Next year an other season, eh Billy?" Cloalng tlma for Classified frdi S a. m. Too la: to ClaaaU? 13 30 p. m.
