K Big League Leaders Face
Hot Race By Contenders
New York, Sept. 7 (U.fl The
major league pennant races were
at the "if" stage today and the
burden of proof rested squarely
upon the contending teams, with
the leading Tigers and Cubs now
able to take advantage of time,
which rapidly is running out.
The tougher job belongs to the
Tigers Their lead in the Ameri
can league has been reduced to
a game and a half because they
split a double header at New
York yesterday while the second
place Senators took two from the
Browns at Washington.
Cub Task Simpler
The task of the Cubs is much
. simpler. Now five full games in
f front they could drop below the
.500 mark, winning 12 and los
ing 13 of their remaining games
and the Cardinals would have
to take 16 and lose 6even of their
remaining games to tie, a pace
which they haven't managed to
hit this season.
Washington provided evidence
it isn't to be counted out and at
the same time delt a mid-riff
blow to Brownie hopes by beat
ing last year's champions, 2 to
0 and 3 to 2.
Detroit salvaged a 5 to 2 vic
tory on the three-hit pitching of
Les Mueller after wildness and
Yankee homers, two by Aaron
Robinson, and one each by Bud
Metheny and Charley Keller
gave New York a 14 to 9 opening
win. Detroit pitchers gave 15
walks and hit two batters in the
first game to nullify some power
hitting by Tiger batters.
Cleveland Fades
Cleveland all but faded out of
the picture at Boston, losing 9 to
X 3 as the Red Sox made 15 hits
off three Indian pitchers to give
Georee Woods an easy win.
The White Sox and Athletics
split, Philadelphia winning 6 to
5 then losing 2 to 1. George
Kell's ninth inning single gave
Joe Berry the first game victory,
scoring Bobby Estalella with two
out. Orval Grove then won his
13th game.
Bill Nicholson, apparently
emerging from a long slump, hit
a two run homer to spark Hank
Borowy to his seventh Cub vic
tory 6 to 1 over the Giants at
Chicago. The Cubs made V2 hits
off Bill Voiselle and Ace Adams.
Boston Whips Barrett
Boston teed off on ex-team
mate Charley Barrett for a six
run inning and a 9 to 1 victory
over the Cards at St. Louis, after

FOR SELECTION
10 BALL SHRINE
New York. Sept. 7 (U.P
Yearly elections to assure a
steady entry of qualified stars
into baseball's hall of fame were
provided in a rules revision an
nounced by the permanent com
mittee for the diamond shrine at
Cooperstown. N. Y.
Prompted by failure of the
Baseball Writers' Association of
America to elect any players to
the hall of fame last January,
the committee also narrowed
down the number of players on
whom members of the Baseball
Writers' Association of America
will ballot. Previously, elections
were held every three years and
the field was unlimited provided
the players met the qualifica
tions for elections.
The first step under the new
procedure will be the circulation
of nominating ballots on which
the writers may name 10 candi
dates. When the nominating bal
lots are tabulated, the 20 can
didates receiving the most votes
will be placed on the final ballot.
The writers then will vote for
their choice of five names out of
the 20 and one or more receiving
a 75 p?r cent vote will be elected
to the Cooperstown shrine. The
75 per cent vote also was a stipu
lation of the old rules.
As previously, the candidates
will be chosen from the ranks
of those players active since 1900
and shall have completed their
active careers at least one year
prior to election.
Spurgeon Chandler

New York, Sept. 7 (U.R)

Fishing the past week has
been exceptionally good all
along Rogue river, according to
reports brought to Al Piche and
relayed on to us. Trout can be
caught just about any place
along the stream with the upper
river providing excelling steel
head fishing. Most of the fish
have been taken on spinners but
sizeable catches on single eggs
have been reported.
A big salmon run Is expected
most any day in Klamath river
and several locrl anglers are
preparing for such a trip.
Fine salmon fishing can now
be had at Crescent City by
making a trip in a pleasure
boat. Last Sunday seven angl
ers who made the trip return
ed with 43 large Chinook sal
mon. There is no limit on
ire or number of fish taken
from the ocean.
All smaller trout streams In
the vicinity are just about done
with fish being small and hard
to get. Lake fishing is also at
an end.
For the angler who wants
sport and also to catch some fish
should take a light taper leader,
size six or eight hook, and single
eggs and fish just below where
salmon are spawning. On just
about every cast the fish will
either get your egg or you will
get the fish. Upper Rogue river
is the spot for this method of ex
citing fishing.

WE REDEEM POWOW COUPONS
IS EXPECTED TO
DRAW TOP PROS
By John W. Dunlap
United Press Correspondent
Portland, Ore., Sept. 7 (U.R)
There's a bag of gold In the
Pacific northwest this fall for
the nation's golf professionals.
More than $50,000 maturity
value in war bonds is being
dangled as the lure for what
five cities predict will be the
biggest and best field on the
links circuit.
The $15,000 Portland open
last November woke up the
northwest to what could be done
In the golfing world. Robert
Hudson, a wealthy shipper and
packer, alone promoted the first
annual Portland show, which
drew cheers from a record field
and disheartening deluges of
rain.
National Open Eyed
Now Hudson is not only put
ting on another Portland tour
ney, but is being assisted by
Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle and
Vancouver, B. C. The result is
a northwest swing calculated to
lure the top pros and amateurs
to the west coast and it is no
secret a determined bid is beiiv
made to get the national open
for Portland next year.
Hudson's checkbook Isn't the
only feature of the Portland
open. Veterans of the game
popped their eyes when the no
vice promoter did such unpre
cedented things as donate meals
to the players, pay the caddy
fees, haul them free to the
course each day, built grand
stands at vantage points so spec
tators and wounded veterans
could see the play comfortably.
And the prizes were the richest
in the west, second- only to the
AU-American in Chicago.
New Innovations
This vear's tournament on
Sept. 27-30 will repeat those in
novations and a few more cook
ed no bv Hudson and his smart
coterie of helpers. They've drop
ped the women s play, but nave
commitments from almost eery
big name in active play In the
men's division, from Byron r.ei
son and Sammy Snead to n
group of 50 select amateurs. H
was Sneed who copped the
$2,666 first prize money last
year in a great finish.
Spokane opens the circuit
Sept. 20-23, followed y rori
land: then Tacoma, Oct. 4-7,
Seattle Oct. 11-14 and Vancuu
vcr Oct. 18-21. The performers
then hop to Virginia in a some
what obvious haughty maneuver
toward California, where some
incidents last winter Irritated
some of the players.
Hudson even thinks of the
hard-working radio and press

Favorites Falls As
California Amateur
In Quarter Finals
Pebble Beach, Cal., Sept. 7
(U.R) The wide open scramble
for the California state amateur
championship wended its merry
way toward the quarter finals
today, with a majority of the
pre-tournament favorites sitting
on the sidelines and wondering
how lightning could strike in so
many places.
When the dust settled after
yesterday's battle, sixteen men
were out, and of the 16 remain
ing, only a handful were old
hands at championship Simon
pure golf in this state.
Gone were the defending
champion Ernie ricper, San
Jose, 1945 medalist; and 1942
champ Johnny Dawson, Bobby
rtoseburg, brilliant young Stan
ford shotmakcr who was a final
ist in 1943, and 1944; Bill Fritz,
San Francisco city champion,
and Ray Sloppy, one of Southern
California's finest.
However, there still are plentv
of golfing stylists in the running
and everybody's choice seems to
be young 16-year-old II. Mac
Gregor Hunter, son of famed
professional Willie Hunter.
Hunter is the lad who came from
behind on the back stretch to
overtake Dawson and send the
medalist to the sidelines.
