Suds, Solons Split Twin
Bill as Portland Beaten
By United Press
The Sacramento Solons and
Seattle Rainier, who probably
will open up the Pacific Coast
league playoffs, split a twin bill
last night with the second-place
northwest team winning the
nightcap 5 to 4 after bowing 3
to 1 In the opener.
PCL President Clarence
(Pants) Rowland announced late
yesterday that the playoffs will
open Sept. 25 with Portland in
vading Seattle and either San
Francisco or Oakland traveling
to Sacramento. The two four-out-of-seven
series will be fol
lowed by the finals between the
winners of the 1st and 2nd and
3rd and 4th place contests.
The Beavers were all but
mathematically certain of clinch
ing the pennant, although their
series lead dropped, half a game
to seven ahead of Seattle with
their 5 to 4 defeat last night at
the hands of the San Diego
Padres.
In other PCL games San Fran
cisco and Hollywood split two
extra inning games with the
Seals taking the opener 1 to 0
and the Stars coming back to
win the finale 10 to 9.
The Emeryville ball park
which apparently is the place
pitchers fall to pieces this week
saw the tables turned from the
previous night's contest when
the Los Angeles Angels clicked
off nine runs in one inning. Last
night the Angels returned the
courtesy and allowed the Acorns
to make eight runs on three hits
In the first three frames for a
final score of 13 to 1. The Oaks
got 11 free passes in the first
three cantos off Paul Lammcrs
and Ken Hicks, who took over
the mound for Los Angeles In
the second.
Red Mann allowed the visitors
only four hits.
Seattle made a comeback after
going Into the last of the fifth
trailing 4 to 3. The Rainlers tied
the count when Hal Patchett
tripled to right as the second
man up, scoring on Bob Gor
bould's single to center.
The winning run came In the
next frame when Big Ted Nor
bert hit a homer over the left
field wall.

!N BATTLE ROYAL
Rufus Jones, stocky Negro
wrestler, came out on top of the
heap at the mntches at Medford
armory last night when he took
a gruelling two-out-of-three fall
decision over Ernie Piluso to win
the main event of the battle
royal featured program. One of
the biggest crowds in many a
month saw the thrilling card.
Georges Duselte, first man
eliminated in the free-for-all,
earned a draw with Harold
(Blood and Guts) Davidson, sec
ond man out, in the three round
opener.
Tex Hnger, third one ousted
In the melee gave Coast Cham
pion Jack Lipscomb a bad time
for a round and a half but gave
way to Lipscomb's superior
weight and height and lost two
straight falls.
Jones, making his first appear
ance here, showed 'some clever
grappling but turned to fists,
hair pulling and other uncouth
maneuvers to get the better of
Piluso He took the winning fall
with a series of head butts when
Piluso was too exhausted to get
out of the way.

WASHINGTON EYES
NEW PITCHER FOR
STRETCH BATTLE
New York, Sept. 14 U.R
Baseball-mad Washington hailed
ex-sailor Walter Masterson today
as the "secret weapon" which
might defeat the Detroit Tigers
in the desperate stretch battle
for the American league pen
nant. Masterson rose from obscurity
by beating the most famous
pitcher in baseball, Bobby Fel
ler, and the Cleveland Indians
with a two-hit 4 to 0 shutout that
put the Senators a half game be
hind the tense Tigers, who drop
ped their second game In a row
to the Athletics, 3 to 2.
Winning Run Passed
The Tigers, acutely short of
sound pitchers, lost at Philadel
phia when Jim Tobin walked
home the winning run in the
ninth. He had gone into the in
ning with a 2 to 1 lead but Bill
McGhee tripled and scored on
Bobby Estalella's single. Dick
Siebert doubled and George Kell
walked to fill the bases. Another
walk provided the clinching run.
Rain complicated the National
league picture. The Cubs, two
and a half games ahead, play the
last place Phils in a double head
er today while the Cardinals
meet the revenge-bent Dodgers
at St. Louis. If rain Interferes
again in either case, the games
may be washed from the sche
dule since the teams change
opponents tomorrow.
Chicago Beats Yanks
The While Sox won one of the
wierdest games of the year at
New York, getting seven runs on
seven hits in the 10th for a 7 to
0 victory. Bill Zuber had held
them to one hit up to that stage.
Bill Dietrich was the winner,
giving up six hits. Johnny
Johnson pitched the 10th and
yielded one more.
The Browns beat the Red Sox,
2 to 1, at Boston when Skeeter

play In the ninth, threw the ball
into the stands and a Tunner
scored from second.

Braves at Pittsburgh, 4 to 3 and
2 to 0. They got only four hits
to win the opener and bunched
three hits to take the second
game. Al Gcrhcauscr and Fritz

We took in the Black Tornado
football practice the other night
and came away quite favorably
impressed after watching some
two hours of scrimmage, minus
kick-offs and punts. Head boss
man Al Simpson said he plans to
hold a regulation game between
the first string and second squad
tonight and will get a good idea
of how the club will perform
under fire.
The down-field blocking
was good when wa were there
the other night, passes were
clicking fair, the line was
charging good, but that run
ning attack wowl Those
backfield men came charging
down the field like mad bulls
and thoir deception and brok
en field running sucked in the
reserve would-be tacklers al
most every time. The kids
were playing football with
theiz heads not their brawn
All plays were run from the
T-formation with Bob Watson
calling plays from his fullback
spot. Watson, Earl Stella, Jerry
Clark, Glenn Bostwick and a
reserve backfield almost as good
took turns running circles
around their teammates.
Jim Cave, who turned In a
sensational season at center last
year, threw a hip out of joint
about a week ago but will be
ready to go soon, probably to
night. Nick Greene is laid up
with an infected throat but will
be back the first of the week.
Howard Whillock, slated for an
end berth, Is out of town but was
expected to be on hand tonight.
Al Kirchcr still is suffering from
knee trouble which will prob
ably keep him out for quite some
time. Had those four regulars
been In the lineup the other
night we imagine the Medfords
would have looked even more
like a tornado.
The opposition, which starts
off with Albany here a week
from tonight, had better look
as good as advance publicity
claims or there may be a rout
or two at the stadium before
tho curtain rings down at end
of the season.
