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

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.

St. Louis. 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.

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?"
