BLANKWEST.6-0
IN BOH CLASH
Detroit's Bill Pierce Stars on
East Mound; West Makes
Costly Errors.
New York, Aug. 8 (U.R)
Canny Connie Mack passed on
the wisdom of three baseball
generations to his "poise boys"
from the east yesterday by lead
ing them to a 6 to 0 victory over
the west squad of the All-Amer
ica boys "world series" game be
fore 17,803 fans at the Polo
grounds.
Belying their baby faces, the
yeasty easterners played with
fire end finesse and, although
they were putting their spikes
on major league turf for the first
time, they gave an impression
that it would not be the last.
In contrast, the boys from the
west were shaky afield and help
less at bat before the southpaw
pitching of Bill Pierce, 16-year-old
Detroit moundsman. Pierce
lived up to his nickname of "Mr
Zero" by setting the westerners
down with three hits in the six
innings he worked and resorting
to strong arm and strikeout tac
tics whenever they threatened to
rally. He fanned seven batters.
Gets Stronger
Pierce proved his mettle after
hitting Marvin Holman of Chey
enne, Wyo.,ln the head with a
pitched ball in the first inning.
Homan was not hurt and Pierce
refused to let the incident nettle
him, improving as the innings
passed.
Co-starring with Pierce was
husky Charley Perchak of Chi
cago, captain of the easterners.
Perchak made three hits and was
defensive star at first base.
Mack, guest manager of the
. east squad, used George Worgul
of New York to relieve Pierce In
the seventh.
Manager Mel Ott of the west
squad started Virgil Jester of
Denver, and the Colorado young
ster pitched well enough to win
but errors behind him provided
four unearned runs. His succes
sors, Jimmy Propst of Kansas
City, Mo., and Ervln Palica of
Los Angeles, both pitched credit
ably. IS MEDAL VICTOR
Lake Forest, 111., Aug. 8. U.F0
Little Sally Sessions of Mus
kegon, Mich., was carrying the
weight of three records and a
b'g-tlme reputation as she faced
the championship flight o f the
women's western amateur golf
tournament today.
"I haven't played much golf
this year and I'm still not sure
I can do much against this good
field," she said as she prepared
to tee off for her match with
Mrs. Thomas Nolan of Newcas
tle, Pa.
Holding only a few regional
honors when she started the 18
hole qualifying round yesterday,
the bespectacled 21 -year -old
Michigan girl vaulted to the top
with her long-hitting woods as
he fired a one-undcr-par 74 over
the Onwontsla course, site of the
44-ycar-old western amateur.

Browns Made 11-5 Underdogs
Against Redbirds In Series
By Clen Perkins
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 8 (U.R) Long range odd-makers, discarding
the possibility of a late foldup by the St. Louis Browns, installed
them today as 11 to 5 World Series underdogs against their Sports
man's park neighbors, the Cardinals, whose winning of the National
league pennant has been a foregone conclusion for wee k.i
The all-St. Louis World Series
now looming as something more
than a wishful thought by die
hard Brown fans, would provide
baseball with Its first one city
fall classic outside of New York
since the two Chicago clubs lock
ed in the 1008 playoffs. It also
would be baseball s first one
park series and would raise for
the St. Louis fans of next year,
the Issue of the congested flag
pole.
In addition to the American
flag, the world championship
banner and the American and
National league pennants would
be destined to fly from the staff
there next summer and It Is
probably significant that the
lowest banner will fly at half
staff.
Manager Luke Sewell, who
flew to New York ahead of his
team to see the all-America boys'
baseball game, did not share the
confidence of the betting gentry
who have made th I Browns 1 to
6 favorites to take the flag.
"Every club is laying for us,"
he said. "From now on it gets
tougher. We're lucky to have the
six and a half game lead and
we'll be lucky to keep it. We
have to beat every team in the
league.
Odds on the other clubs found
the Yankees as second choice at
S to 1, the Boston Red Sox at 8
to 1, the Detroit Tigers 15 to 1
the Cleveland Indians 30 to 1.
me Chicago White Sox 100 to 1
and the Washington Senators
and Philadelphia Athletics at
1,000 to l.
favoring the Browns Is the
stretch schedule which finds
them with 23 of their last 28
games at home. After they com
plete their current trln which be
gins with four games against the
Yankees Wednesday, they will
face each of the seven other
teams in the league at St. Louis,
closing with the Yankees late In
September.
The Yankees, Indians and Red
Sox are the only teams to have
consistently given the Browns
trouble this season and if they
can break even in their remain
ing games with these clubs they
should have little difficulty in
maintaining their" advantage to
the finish.
Los Angeles, Aug. 8. (U.R)
Private detectives will guard
Wrlglcy Field In a permanent

blers during Pacific Coast league
games, President Clarence
"Pants" Rowland said today.
"The gamblers with their au
dible profane language are ob
noxious to real fans who come
out to enjoy the great American
pastime," Rowland said.
Rowland's announcement fol
lowed thot of President Donald
Stewort, Los Angeles Angels,
and Victor Ford Collins, Holly

agnln.it betting at their ball
parks.
The Los Angeles police depart
ment and Sheriff Eugene BIs

JOE BAKSI HPS
SAVOLD TO TAKE
CIVILIAN TITLE
Chicago, Aug.' 8 (U.R) An
ornate pewter belt, emblematic
of the worlds civilian heavy
weight boxing champion" girded
the expansive frame of Joe Baksi
today, following the huge Kulp-
mont, Pa., coal miner s 10-round
decision over Lee Savold, Pater-
son, N. J., puncher.
The belt, dreamed up by Pro
moter Jack Kearns, was Intended
to rest with the No. 1 civilian
heavy for the duration only, und
unless Joe Louis comes back
from the wars with malaria,
shrapnel and sore feet, Mr. Baksi
wasn't expected to keep the
honor long.
Not that the hulking young
ster from the pits didn't look like
a match for Louis last night. He
pounded Savold handily, cutting
him with heavy punches to the
face, and came out entirely un
ruffled. But when Savold turned
on the speed in the last two
rounds, Baksi Indicated to those
who have tabbed him as Louis'
future master that he would have
to proceed with caution against
Joe's blinding speed.
Baksi, angered at a low punch
from Savold in the third, rushed
in to start the blond Slav's nose
bleeding, and in the fifth he
opened a cut on Savold's eye.
It wasn't until the ninth that
Savold illustrated what superior
speed can do agaf-vst a towering
fighter like Baksi.
Desperate for a knockout to
erase Baksi's early margin, Sav
old abandoned his caution and
used his faster style to take the
advantage for the first time in
the fight.
However, Baksi is a hard man
to hurt, and he weathered Sav
old's late storm to emerge the
winner, although one judge,
William O'Connor, scored the
match even.
Clipping Of Hair
No Help For Dogs,
Owners Are Told
Mrs. W. H. Rucker, 428 Plum
Street, offers the following ad
vice for care of dogs In warm
weather: ,
Each year at this time many
dog owners begin thinking
about having their pets clipped
or shaved es a protection against
the warm weather.
A dog should never be clip
ped either in the spring or sum
mer. If he is allowed to keep
his natural coat he Is much
cooler and better off in every
way than a dog that has been
clipped. A dog does not perspire
through its skin as do humans,
but through its lungs.
Clipping will not save the ani
mal from torment by fleas. Not
only will It have Just as many
fleas but lt will be bothered by
other insects. A clipped dog is
open to attack by gnats, flies,
and other stinging insects from
which his natural coat would
normally protect him.
A dog's coat serves to diffuse
the rays of the sun and keep
them from penetrating his body.
So, regardless of what kind of a
dog you own, if you want to
help him endure the hot months,
don't have him clipped.

ONE OF NURSES
FIRST IN FRANCE
A former Medlord resident, Lt.
Patricia Clendenning of the ar
my nurse corps was one of two
evacuation nurses who spent the
night in France following the
invasion according to a recent
article published in a Portland
paper. Lt. Clendenning, now act
ing chief nurse in an AAF evac
uation squadron, was anesthetist
at Sacred Heart hospital here
from March, 1938, until Nov. 30,
1941, and will be remembered
by many Medford people.
The story relates that Lt.
Clendenning's squadron was on
a hospital supply ship that
grounded on that day and a let
ter to her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W H. Clendenning of Portland,
stated, "I spent the night in
France, without even a tooth
brush, after we grounded. Slept
with all my clothes on in a tent
and ate outside in the rain. We
cleared next day and got the pa
tients back to England.
"Wish I were two persons,
one to remain with the wounded
and one to return with acute
cases being flown back; there!
Just aren't enough hands to care j
for all." She flew to New York
with a plane load of wounded
men on June 2, the story states.
Lt. Clendenning has two
brothers and a sister In the serv
ice. Gasoline Coupons
Not Replaceable
Stations Informed
Gasoline coupons stolen from
service stations cannot be re
placed, according to Roth Keller,
OPA mileage enforcement attor
ney, Portland, who made the an
nouncement again following a
series of thefts in the Portland
area. This ruling applies to burg
laries where the station is bro
ken into as well as sneak-thief
Jobs, he said.
It was explained locally that
for a time replacement requests
were so high that the decision
was made not to replace coupons
stolen trom stations It has been
the -practice, it was said, for
holders of large quantities of
coupons to leave them with the
station operators who In some
cases did not properly safeguard
them.
The enforcement attorney
urgea station operators to handle
the coupons with as much pre
caution as they do the station's
money.
