BATTLE FOR 4TH
By United Press
The battle for fourth place
and a spot in the post-season
Pacific Coast league playoffs was
hot today as the re-crowned
champion Los Angeles Angels
walloped Seattle twice, 8-8 and
4-3, to drop the Ralniers within
half a game of the Oakland
Acorns, victorious over Port
land 2-1.
San Francisco took undisputed
possession of third, one game be
hind the second place Beavers,
by defeating San Diego 6-4. Sac
ramento dealt Hollywood's play
off hopes a heavy blow, banging
the.Twinks around 6-1 to leave
them still three games behind
Seattle.
The pennant-winning Angels
for one hour's straight wrestling
time or the best two out of three
falls.
Paavo Katonen, the former
coast champion who lost his
title to Kaiser in a recent Salem
match, battles Pat (Rowdy)
O'Powdy in the four-round mid
dle tiff. Elton Owen and Harold
(Uuck) Davidson meet in a
three-round curtain-raiser.
Probably not in the past sev
eral years have two such speedy,
clever and smart matmcn tang
led in the local arena. Kaiser,
still in his 20' 3, has everything
it takes to become one of the
country's finest orthodox wrest
lers, while Olson is rated his
equal in every respect. j
As a matter of fact. It could
Just as well have been Olson
who lifted Katonen's coast
crown. The only difference is
that Kaiser was the lad in the
ring with him on that night.
Rises Fast
Kaiser's rather brief career
has been meteoric. Hailing from
Vancouver, Wash., he spent most
of his time in the northwest,
where he developed into a first
rate main event attraction.
Striking out for more lucra
tive fields he went to southern
California, and in several months
of campaigning hung up a sen
sational, undefeated record.
Returning to Oregon and the
northwest he whipped some
more good boys, then got the
coveted crack at Katonen and
the title. He won, and Is now
the gent In the throne room.

their double-header win over

one by Johnny Moore that over
came a five-run Rainier lead In
the opener, ami one each by
Johnnie Ostrowski, Ted Norbert
and Billy Sarni in the nightcap.
Don Osborn and George Cornel
ias were the winning hurlcrs.
Portland's Syd Cohen lost his
game in the Inst of the ninth
when four Oakland singles
topped by Jake Caulfield's blow
with the bases loaded gave the
Acorns two runs and a 2-1 win,
credited to Joe Sullivan.

Padres made five early hits off

on the optimistic side while
pondering the future in the field
of sports.
One of these gentlemen is
none other than Leonard (Stub)
Allison, of the University of
California, who by admitting
his team Is shaping up "surpris
ingly well," faces disbarment
for life from the Coaches' Wall
ers and Woeing Association, lo
cal 1,876.
Stub broke down and told
the press that his boys were
'way above expectations. Of
course, he may be digging his
own grave there, because the
chances appear that the Bears
will do well to win B0 per cent
of their games this year a
number not considered enough
to mako a "successful" season
in the better circles.
The other coach who went off
the beam and said his club is
really good, la Lt, Joe Verduccl,
head man of the Coast Guard
Sea Lions.
Verduccl, a very successful
prep mentor in pre-war days,
Is basking In the sunlight that
makes his team the pre-season
favorite to capture the mythi
cal west coast service grid
crown.
"Great," booms the boss man,
"I might even say excellent.
Our first team Is as sharp as a
razor. All the backs stand out.
Our ends are blocking expertly
and catching some neat passes
the latter being thrown by
Gonzales Morales, of whom
there Is none better."
Verduccl admits, of course,
that his team hasn't played a
game yet but he is enjoying
things while he may, probably
trying to hide from his mind
the fact that the Sea Lions have
an eight-game schedule with
of Pacific.
Yep, it's an ill wind, etc.
but it's refreshing for a change,
too.

Forward passing star Glen
Dobs, the "hurlin" hurricane"
from Tulsa university, has de
cided to stake his claim for
post-war football fame with the
New York team in the new all
America professional conference,
co-owner Mrs. Lou Gehrig said
today.
Mrs. Gehrig, widow of tha
famous Yankee first baseman,
revealed that Dobbs, now a lieu
tenant with the 2nd army air
forces at Colorado Springs, Colo.,
had signed a two-year contract
to play when he leaves the serV'
ice.
She said she believed Dobbs
was the first player to be signed
by any team in the new organi
sation formed recently at Chi
cago. Dobbs was selected by the
Chicago Cardinals in the Na
tional league football draft after
his graduation from Tulsa, but
did not sign a contract witn
them.
