Stars Thump Senators
3-1 Jehosie Heard
Tosses Win for Bevos
BY SCOTT BAILIE
San Francisco (U.R) The
Hollywood Stars were picked to
win the Pacific Coast League
oennant larselv because of their
speed and youth but they were
sparked along the victory path
today by old man Frank Kelle-
her.
Kelleher will be 37 next
week. He has become as much
a part of the Hollywood scene as
a punched celebrity, but is far
from washed up. Only one reg
ular on the squad is batting over
.300 and that's Kelleher with a
helfty .325.
The Stars moved into a com
manding eight game lead over
runner-up Seattle last night by
beating Sacramento 3-1 while
Los Angeles was trouncing the
Suds, 4-1.
Munger's 10th
Kelleher figured in all the
Twinks' scoring as he went two
for four and helped George
Munger, another oldster, to his
10th victory of the campaign.
Bob Spicer of Los Angeles
bested Al Widmar at Wrigley
field for his ninth win of the
year after he was socked for a
homer by Merrill Combs in the
first inning. After that, Seattle
could only get four more hits
off Spicer, who singled home
two Angel runs in the third.
Jehosie Heard, the bantam
Negro ace of the Portland hurl
ing staff, notched his 13th
triumph at the expense of the
hapless Oakland Oaks, who fell
deeper into the cellar to the
mournful tune of 10-6. Collegian
Bob Murphy was roughed up
for his fifth defeat and was in
the showers long before the
game was over.
Bevos Seals Tied
Portland bounced back into a
virtual tie for fourth with San
Francisco, which split a twin bill
with San Diego. Homers by Al
Lyons and Frank Kalin featured
a four run Seal splurge in the
fourth inning of the opener. This
was enough to insure San Fran
cisco a 4-2 margin at the ex
pense of Lloyd Dickey, who
dropped his fourth verdict
In the second game the Seals
could hardly beg a hit off lefty
Bob Kerrigan, who shut them
out with four singles, 6-0. Dick
Faber knocked in two of the
runs with a bases loaded single
in the eighth.
Season Set
For Oregon
Waterfowl
Reno (U.R) Oregon's 1953
migratory waterfowl season will
extend from Oct. 17 to Dec. 30,
the Oregon Fish and Game com
mission decided at a meeting of
the Pacific Flyway Council here.
Representatives of the seven
Western states met here yester
day to make recommendations
for the 1953-54 migratory water
fowl hunting season in their
states. However, only seasons
definitely set were those of Ore
gon and Nevada.
Only conflict was between
Oregon and California.
California persuaded Oregon
representatives to open their
season earlier than originally
scheduled because bird flocks in
the Tule Lake area would be
chased back and forth between
the two states constantly if the
early season recommendations
stood.
California representatives said
also an early season opening
was desired in their state be
cause bird flocks injure crops
severely and farmers have taken
to frightening birds from rice
fields and other crop lands.
The Federal Fish and Game
service already has announced
liberalized hunting rules for the
season and said hunters may
shoot until sunset In all flyways.
Hambletonian Entries

Charles, dream of becoming the
first man in history to regain the
world's heavyweight champion
ship lay all but shattered today
under the wreckage of his sur
prise loss to obscure Nino Valdes
of Cuba.
Valdes stunned a crowd of
3,500 last night as he took
Charles' best punches and came
on to win the unanimous, 10-
round vote oz two judges and
the referee.
The setback apparently doom
ed Charles' hopes of getting a
shot at the winner of next
month's championship fight be
tween Rocky Marciano and Rol
and La Starza, and, at the ad
vanced ring age of 32, may have
ended them for all time.
I just had a bad night,'
moaned the former champion
from Cincinnati, O. ' I missed.
Charles entered the ring at
191V4 pounds, a little over his
usual fighting weight, and he
allowed that the extra poundage
made him "a little sluggish."
Whether there would be a re
turn bout between the former
champion and the 27-year-old
Cuban was an unsettled ques
tion.
I don't see any point for a re
match," declared Bobby Glea-
son, manager of Valdes.

Never forgetting for a moment
that it was exactly two years

Carl Ersklne pitched a two
hitter, missing a no-hitter only
because of two singles by Hank
Thompson. It was the first vic
tory of his life in the Polo
Grounds, after five straight de
feats there, and his 13th of the
season. In fact it was the only
complete game he ever pitched
there.
Sal Maglie got his ears nailed
to his head, permitting nine hits
in four innings, including Gil
Hodges' 25th homer of the year
and his first against Giant pitch
