CUBS RALLY TO
BEAT CARDINALS
BY 6-5
We do not know if Medford
high school has any reconversion
building program in mind but
one came to our attention at the
football "track meet" with Al
bany last Friday night.
As the several thousand fans
who saw the game will recall,
it was a cold, windy night with
heavy clouds. Near end of the
first half the heavens broke loose
and showered the field, and
spectators who were not fortun
ate enough to have grandstand
seats, in a deluge. Bleacher
spectators swarmed across the
field and crowded into what
little grandstand space was avail
able and gathered under the
caves where the rain dripped
down their necks.
We overheard, not one, but
several, grid enthusiasts say
they would stay home before
coming out to see another
game in threatening weather
when grandstand seats wore
sold out, as they were Friday
night. And we know of sev
eral who did not go to the
game at all because of threat
ening rain and lack of grand
stand accommodation.

It seems to this department it
would well pay the high school
to enlarge their present grand
stand facilities or, better still,
erect a cover over seats on the
east side of the playing field.
Considerably more grandstand
room could be made availaole
by building onto the north and
south ends of the present ac
commodations if school officials
chose to leave the bleachers on
the east side of the field foe
student crowds.
No doubt the present seating
facilities were big enough to
accommodate the crowd when
they were constructed but the
city and high school has cer
tainly outgrown the seating
arrangements. On many oc
casions we have attended
games at Medford stadium
when the entire seating ar
rangement was jammed to
overflowing and many hun
dreds were left to stand along
the end zones or sidelines. It
Is probable that nearly every
one who was forced to stand
would have kicked through
with a little more money to be
able to buy a grandstand seat
if it had been available.
Football is a business with
Medford high school, just as it is
with any other institution hav
ing teams and it seems to us it
would pay dividends in cold
cash to spend enough to con
struct additional seuting cover
age. Medford's turf field is sur
passed by none in ,the state and
it seems a shame to spoil this
with inadequate seating arrange
ments. ,
Medford is growing and seems
destined to become even larger
in the near future, which means
more spectators will be coming
to athletic events at the high
school stadium, so why don't
school authorities cash in on bet
ter teating arrangements?

Chicago, Sept. 26 (U.R) The
St. Louis Cardinals' three-year
reign over the National league
was all but ended today.
Beaten at their own game,
the ability to rally when the
chips are down, the Cardinals
now can only hang on and hope
the league-leading Cubs collapse
during the final five days of the
season
The Cubs came from behind
to nose out the world cham

mora than beat the Cardinals by
one run. The way they snatch
ed th game out of the fire took
something out of the cocky,
swashbuckling Missourians who
have been sure all season they
would win their fourth consecu
tive National league pennant
this year.
At.mllv the Cardinals' hope
for n world series In St. Louis
next week is about as thin as a
dream.
The fading champions' only
chance would be if the Cubs
lose .it least three of their re
maining six games. Even then
the Missourians would have to
sweep their remaining five
game-; merely to tie.
Barrett Gets Call
That Herculean task was
squarely before them today as
Southworth sent Charley (Red)
Barrett, 23-game winner, against
the Cubs' Claude Passeau in the
final ,iame of the regular season
at Wrigley field. It is the last
time the two teams meet this
year.
The Cubs actually fought

Bay, Coach Al Simpson said to
day. The Black Tornado came

Albany last week without in
juries and have been drilling

under way to iron them out.
