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. The Tigers won the
second game, 2 to 1, when Ed

WANTS LOUIS GO
New York, Sept. 11 (U.R
Cpl. 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.

signment, t
Army officials said that Conn
would be sent for mustering out
to a separation center near his
home in Pittsburgh.

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.

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."
