For whatever use posterity
wants to make of it, Manager
Luke Sewoll of the Browns of
fered his "pitcher an inning" de
vice today for winning ball
games,
Scwell Isn't so sure the idea
would be practical in the long
run and that is why he is mak
ing the broadminded offer. But
it clicked perfectly last night as
he sent a parade of nine differ
ent pitchers to the mound, each
of whom worked an inning in a
3 to 0 war charities victory over
the Cardinals.

and one-armed Pete Gray hit a
third inning triple. r '
Sheppard Gets Thrill
At Washington, the thrill of
a lifetime came to one-legged
Bert Sheppard, the army air
forces veteran, who pitched in a
big league exhibition and got
credit for winning It, beating the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 4 to 3. Shep
pard, batting practice pitcher for
the Senators, pitched three
scoreless innings and ' yielded
two runs in the fourth before
Roger Wolff and Marino Pieretti
relieved him. He gave up only
five hits. Leroy Pfund, Dodger
pitcher, dislocated his knee.
Ferris Wins
The Red Sox topped the
Braves, 8 to 1 at Boston. Dave
Ferriss, rookie sensation, pitched
the first three innings to become
the winning pitcher. However,
he decided at the last minute not
to go through with his stunt of
pitching one inning left-handed.
At Philadelphia, the Phillies
counted twice in the ninth to
beat the Athletics, 7 to 6. Jimmy
Foxx, making his Major league
debut as a pitcher for the Phils,
was knocked out of the box in
the fifth.
Yesterday's victories gave the
American league a record of five
triumphs in . the seven games
played.

SOFTBALL DEBUT
The 752nd MP Battalion of
Camp White made their debut
in the city Softball league a suc
cess last night when they pound
ed out a 14 to 6 victory over Litt
rell Parts at the high school
field. The loss knocked Littrell
Parts out of a tie for first place
and moved the police out of the
cellar.
Littrell's scored four runs off
four hits in the fourth inning
but nine errors, one by Simmons
in center field which allowed
Hanson to score a home run with
the bases loaded, was too much
for the parts men to overcome.
Silver Dollar Grill moved into
a tie for second place when they
eked out a 5 to 4 decision over
Ordnance Shop in the other half
of the double header. George
Gitzen hit a home run in the
fifth with the sacks occupied
and scored the winning run in
the last inning.
Tommy White, who spent con
siderable time in a German pris

POLICEiSARAZEN POINTS
OVER BY NELSON
TO GOLF VICTORY
Dayton, O... July 11 (U.R)
Little Gene Sarazen in one final
sentimental fling at big-time
golf, today went out to stop the
record winning streak of Byron
Nelson of Toledo, O., in the open
ing round of match play in the
27th National P.G.A. tourna
ment. Sarazen was just as confident
as when he won the first of his
three P.G.A. titles In 1922. He
was then a brash kid of 20 from
the sidewalks of New York.
Test For Saraten
A gruelling test lies ahead of
Sarazen. Those stocky, slightly
bowed legs must travt. 36 holes
today and match strides with
one of the greatest golfing ma
chines in the history of the game.
Six former champions tee off
today in the 16 matches which
open the 36-hole match play,
counting Sarazen, Revolta and
Nelson, who won the 1940 title
of this revered golfing classic.
The defending champ, Pvt.
Bob Hamilton of Ft. Lewis,
Wash., who upset Nelson last
year in the finals, meets Jack
Grout of Hinsdale, 111.

kailroaders identify various types of locomo
tives by the number and arrangement of wheels
from front to rear. The Union Pacific locomo
tive pictured above is known as a "4-8-8-4"
; ; . . two pairs of small wheels in front, then
four pairs of driving wheels followed by a simi
lar unit, and two pairs of smaller wheels in the
rear not including the tender.
The'"4-8-8-4" type is Union Pacific's largest
and heaviest steam locomotive; informally
christened "Big Boy" by the men who built it.
This giant of the rails is 132 feet in length and
weighs approximately 600 tons. Water capacity
' ji
is 25,000 gallons; fuel 28 tons.
A fleet of 25 "Big Boys" is now in Union Pacific
service. Built primarily to haul heavy freight
loads on western mountain grades, they have
proved invaluable in transporting tremendous
quantities of war materials over the Strategic Mid
dle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast.
The "Big Boy" is a typical example of Ameri
can industrial skill and labor; sparked by the
spirit of individual enterprise; 4he spirit that
65,000 Union Pacific employes are working
and fighting to keep alive, to build a bright
future for your America.

times, collected six hits and
sports an average of .667. Herb
Burnham, in the lead last week,
went hitless against the Marines
Saturday night and failed to hit
in a pinch-hitter role at Ashland
Sunday to slip into second place.
Paul Freer retained his rthird
place standing with a .379. Dick
Kidwell went from second to
fourth. Surprise of the week is
Homer Sullivan, who came from

George Barr, who was walked
out of the box against the Ma
rines, has an air-tight alibi. It
was the first time he had ever
thrown a ball to Catcher Paul
Freer. Freer tried to shift regu
lar receiver George Gitzen to the
outfield and put himself in as
catcher in an effort to get more
power into the batting lineup
but the scheme didn't work. ,

a Crater uniform against Ash

the war has taken none of his

drew a walk, a single, filed out

the five innings he played.
An answer to many Inquiries
as to the whereabouts of Al
Simpson, Black Tornado coach:
He is working at the high school
during the days and mapping
strategy for his 1945 football
team at nights.
Willie Durham of Ashland, one
of the better athletes of a few
years ago, and his brother, Mer-j
edith, are home from the wars
and sporting more medals than
Hermann Goering.
Howard Hobson looked none
the worse for wear when he
called at the Mail Tribune office
yesterday. The University of
Oregon coach has been attached
to the army sports program in
Italy.
Men not fighting fire have a
much needed place in war in

industry. Keep Oregon Green.
