TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Senators Muff Chance To Tie Loop-Leading Detroit New York, Sept. 11 U.R No major Jeafiue team ever won the pennant by finishing in sec ond place, a fact that was becom ing all too realistic today to the Washington Senators, who have been trying for exactly three months without success to dis lodge Detroit from the American league lead. Washington never had a bet ter opportunity to close in than last night, but the Senators, dog tired after weeks of doubling up on the schedule, couldn't make the grade. The Tigers had divided a doubleheader at Boston and when the Senators won the first game with the Chicago White Sox, 10 to 4, they were within half game of the lead. A sec ond triumph would have put them into a virtual first place tie. For a time it looked as if they would get the job done. Senators Lead Giving Marino Picrettl 3 to 0 lead, they set the pace until the fourth but then Chicago, af ter six losing starts, teed off on Pierettl and Santiago Ullrich for seven hits and six runs, 12 men batting during the inning. The Senators, who had a winning string of seven games, never had a chance thereafter, and lost 9 to 4. Dave (Boo) Ferriss, the Red Sox rookie star, sidetracked the Tigers 9 to 2 with a doubly-brilliant performance in which he gave up only eight hits and hit two doubles and a single, driving in two runs.

Billy Conn came home from Europe today for an army dis charge and a title bout with Heavyweight Champion Sgt. Joe Louis and was greeted wi'h a kiss and a hug from Promoter Mike Jacobs when he stepped off the transport plane. Jacobs, who took advantage of the occasion to reveal that plans were about complete for a title bout between Conn and Louis, probably in New York next summer, made no secret of the fact that he was delighted to see one of the principals in what may make the biggest fight gate in history. "Boy, but it is great to be back in this country," Conn said. "I want to get home and take a look at that new kid of mine and then start getting back Into shape. It should take me around two months and then for Louis. I'll take him this time." The Pittsburgh corporal, wear ing a combat Jacket and carry ing his overseas cap, arrived early this morning at Laguardia Field in a C-54 transport. He said he weighed about l'JO pounds, about seven more than his fighting weight. Eliylble for a quick discharge because he has 91 service points accumulated In three and a half years in the army, 15 months of the time In the overseas service, he will report later today to Fort Tottcn, N. Y., for final as signment, t Army officials said that Conn would be sent for mustering out to a separation center near his home in Pittsburgh. Sport Chips Harry Chipman Mall Tribune Sports Editor It is usually practice for the men who make up football schedules to stick in a breather, at least as the first game of the season. Because it is usually customary to want a breathing spell during the middle of a sea son, an open date is generally set aside sometime during the middle of October. But in scanning over the gruelling schedule facing the Medford high school Black Tor nado this fall, we can't find a breather in the eight games and no open dates. At least no one can say Medford has picked an easy schedule in an effort to build up an outstanding record. Al Simpson sends his kids against Albany on the Med ford stadium turf a week from Friday night in the season's opener. While Albany is not quite as large as Medford and does not have the student en rollment, they are neverthe less a tough football lot and have a number ot large and experienced veterans back for this season. The following week the Tor nado travels to Coos Bay to en gage Marshfield high. The Pi rates also hnve a number of re hiring lcttcrmrn nnd boast a large club (In poundage!. The boys from the coast visualize an unbeaten season and will be gun ning for a chance to square ac counts for the 33 0 setback dish ed out by Simpson and Co. last year. Medford travels to Eugene Oct. 5 and will remain there overnight to sec the Oregon Idaho game Oct. 6. The Axe men always arc a potent club and advance publicity has them tab bed as potential material to suc ceed Medford for the state grid crown. Eureka, long a Medford foe, comes here Oct. 12 and never has been a pushover. They are said to average about 175 pounds and are reported to be fust aground and possessors of a sharp pass ing attack. The most important game BY aitrat ANNOUNCING the Purchaio of Cannon's Hardware AT TALENT New and Used Hardware and Furniture by A. R. Williamson OPEN SUNDAYS on the Medford schedule. If one can be classed more im portant than another for de fending champions, is the fracas with Klamath Falls at Modoc Field Oct. 19. The Peli cans will have a large turnout, as always, but lacks veterans. Paul Angstead, who will handle the Pelican coaching reins in place of Marble Cook, will have to build almost from scratch. Klamath Falls isn't expected to be too pow erful as a whole but always play their hearts out against Medford. Crants Pass will host the Tor nado Oct. 26 and are rated as an extcremely dangerous club. They will be padded by letter men and will field a power house, besides having advantage of their own turf. Bend, coming here Nov. 2, lost most of last year's club but ad vance dope says they have plenty of material to build around and expect to be considerably strong er than last season. Ashland winds up the sea son here Nov. 12 and, while we were watching them work out the other night, heard them favorably discussing the possibilities of whipping Med ford. Under the guidance of John Roberts, who had an un defeated club at Ashland junior high last year, the Griizlies look exceptionally good in early-season work outs. Leonard Williams will carry the bulk of their attack and will be capably backed with the assistance of Jim Jandreau, Bob Frazier and Ed Beare in the backfield and a heavy and fast-charging line. We'll doff the skimmer to anyone who can find a breather in that schedule. Of course, Med ford won't be shy material and defense of their state champion ship will be sort of a personal matter as well as concern for the South Oakdale institution for most of the Tornado squad also wore the red and black last year. The kids will be good, there's no denying that, and they know it but they're football players, too. If any high school club in Ore gon has eyes on the state toga they will first have to reckon with a club that will be every bit as classy as last years Med ford outfit, probably not as heavy but faster and more "heady."
