It may not come off, because the Giants could upset the plans even though Dressen still insists dramatically but ungrammati cally that "the giants is dead. "If we beat the Giants that makes it 11 in a row for us and a new high for the year," Dres sen said after last night's 5-2 triumph in 11 innings over the Pirates. Happy Boss Dressen was elated because the Pirates, who had come to life briefly on the fine knuckle ball pitching of Johnny Lindell, blew a 2-0 lead when Duke Snid er homered in the ninth to tie the score, then lost in the 11th when Gil Hodges smacked a three-run homer. The victory, which equalled a previous Dodger winning string of 10 games this year, put them 8Vi games ahead of idle Milwau kee and gave them a chance to pull away if they can keep up their pace of last week when they swept a three-game series with the Giants. The Giants have Just come out of three straight double-headers and are expected to be a little weary. Yanks on Top The Yankees also were riding high and streched their lead over the idle White Sox to nine games with 10-3 and 9-0 tri umphs at Philadelphia. In the opener, Whitey Ford pitched his 15th victory with relief help from Tom Gorman as the Yankees made 11 hits Including a two-run homer by Yogi Berra. In the second game, lefty Bob Kuzava, making his first start since his one-hitter against the White Sox on August 8, scatter ed 11 hits to win his fourth game. The Phils topped the Giants 5-2 on a four-run rally in the eighth plus nine-hit route-job pitching by Bob Miller, but New York took the second game 6-0 as Al Corwin turned in an eight hitter for his sixth victory. There were no other games scheduled. SjbSsIi Majriag, Mev . laasjasaas iiiiiiiiWetv (tauaiTi) UUM MIIT...UttZIM BAMAM omit oni two-Man unit hi customs 1c sal includes Cindek Enam els in quarts also.

(International) Shrine All-Star Gridiron Squads Both Boast Speed Portland U.R Sideline "experts" today rated the Shrine football game here Sat urday night a "tossup." The city team held only a single drill yesterday while the state squad look two workouts. Both teams scrim maged in the afternoon with the state squad concentrating on its ground attack and the city team on its passing game. Don Bick of Marshfield and Allie Clark, of Oakridge, worked out for the first time yesterday for the state's and both appeared in good condi tion. They replaced players sidelined by injuries. Portland With both squads boasting speed and passing, the sixth annual Shrine All-Star football game "football's fin est hour" here Saturday night in Multnomah stadium is expect ed to be one of the most thrilling contests in the young but action packed history of the grid classic. The game pits outstanding 1953 prep stars of Portland high schools against the top high performers from all other schools in Oregon. Pete Susick of Marshfield high is head coach of the State squad and Harry Calgary Trips Victoria, 11-7 By UNITED PRESS Things were quiet in the West ern International league last night but it was only the lull be fore the pennant chase breaks out again in full fury. Calgary tallied five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning last night to down Victoria 11-7 in the only game played. Char ley Mead helped out with a hom er in the big frame for the Stamps. Spokane, current leader opens a back-yard series with Lewiston tonight at Lewiston while sec ond-place Salem tangles with Tri-City in the Oregon capital, In other games, Vancouver plays at Edmonton; Victoria is at Calgary and Yakima meets Wenatchee. BEVOS TO SEATTLE Seattle (U.R) Portland's Beavers, only two games out of third place and eight games be hind second-place Seattle, open and eight-game PCL series against the Rainers here tonight Portland won seven out of eight games against Oakland, Holly wood and Los Angeles last week. Scarff of Portland's Central Catholic directs the Portland eleven. The kick-off will be preceded by the largest pageant ever staged in Multnomah stadium, starting at 7:40 p.m. Chet Dun can, pageant director,, reports that approximately 50 units, in cluding bands and marching teams, will take part in the spectacle, to be climaxed by the massed bands playing the na tional anthem. State Has Edge The State All-Stars will enter the contest with a 3 to 2 edge in the series, having won the cpener in 1948, 53-13, and the last two by scores of 20-13 and 12-6. The Portland aggregation captured the games in 1949 and 1950 and will be out to even the series tins year. The two teams have been in Portland since August 9, drilling twice daily for the contest, and because both coaches have plac ed so much emphasis on passing in the workouts, its a foregone conclusion that the air will be filled with pigskins when the teams square off. Quarterback Quincy Powers of Marshfield high and Milt Michau of The Dalles are the Staters ace throwers, while the Portland team will depend on two of the finest passers to come out of the -city league in many years Bob Clark of Benson Polytechnic and Ron Stempel of Cleveland. Proceeds from the game will go to the Shriners' hospital for crippled children in Portland, and will be used to assist in fi nancing the expansion program now on the drawing boards. Cards, Rams Prepare for Oregon Mix Portland Northwest foot ball fans, who got their first glimpse of professional football last year and liked what they saw, will watch the gridiron greats in action again September 7 when the Los Angeles Rams clash with the Chicago Cardinals here at Multnomah Stadium. This is a rematch of the spec tacular game played last year by the same teams, when the Rams wound up with a 24 to 14 vic tory. Both teams are ready to em bark on their pre-season sched ules, and by the time they reach Portland they will have had sev eral games in which to reach peak form. The Cardinal roster was bolstered this week with the addition of three standouts who joined the squad following the College All-Star game in Chi cago. They are Johnny Olszew ski of California, Jim Psaltis of USC and Dale Samuels of Pur due, the top three draft choices. Oregonians Shine Word from the Cardinal train ing camp at Lake Forest, 111., in dicates that two former Oregon ians have been the standout rookies in practice.

Many Coast League Stars Never Get Shot At Major Leagues, Too Old For Try Nov San Francisco (U.R) The aim of all baseball players is to become a star In the Major Leagues. But many of the stars shin ing in the Pacific Coast League today never have had a chance at the big time, and they are too old to ever get one. The best example is the case of Joe Brovia, always one of the top hitters in the PCL In the post war years. Currently Joe, playing for the Sacramento Solons, is third in the batting race with a .328 mark- He has batted at better than a .400 clip for the past two months and always has been considered by pitchers one of the most feared bats men in the loop. Brovia Disappointed "But I've never had a chance to swing a bat in the Major Leagues," says the disappoint ed Brovia. "I know I could hit that pitching if I just got a chance. It is one of the great heartbreaks of my career." Now 31 years old, it is doubtful that Joe ever will get a shot ' Brovia, of course, is only one of many. Take the case of Ray Orteig, catcher for the Seattle Rain iers. "Orteig should get a crack at the majors," says Manager Bobby Bragan of the Hollywood Stars, a backstop himsell "He probably is the most valuable member of the Seattle club, and possibly the most valuable player in the league." AU Star Nine But Ray's chances are slim, too, because he already is 32 years old- Neither of these men has had any chance to play in the majors. Along with catcher Orteig and outfielder Brovia, here are seven others over 30 years of age who never had a fair trial in the majors who would complete a team: Al Lien, 37, San Fran cisco, pitcher; Chuck Stevens, 35, Hollywood, first base; Piper Davis, 37, Oakland, sec ond base; Gene Handley, 37, Hollywood, third base; Artie Wilson, 33, Seattle, shortstop; Frank Kelleher, 37, Holly wood, and Frank Kalin, 32, San Francisco, outfielders. NAMED TO RIDE Chicago (U.R) Eddie Ar caro, No. 1 jockey In the nation, was named today to ride Native Dancer in the $100,000 Ameri can derby after Eric Guerin, who has ridden the Dancer in each of his 18 starts, was suspended for 10 days. Yakima Legion Nine Defeats Salem, 6 to 3 Yakima (U.R) Yakima's American Legion Junior base ball team downed Salem 6-3 last night to enter the regional finals. Dave Dexter, Yakima hurler. pitched four hit ball while Yakima benefitted by seven Salem errors. Yakima tallied three runs in the second frame and was never headed behind Dexter's steady hurling. Salem will play the Lewisfon, Ids., representatives tonight with the winner meeting Yakima in the finals Wednesday. Should Yakima lose Wednesday night there will be a playoff double- header. Lewiston remained in the run ning by eliminating Butte, 3-1. FIGHTS Br UNITED PKESS New York (UP) BiUy Peacock. H7 ii. ixn Annies, outpointed H Xennr 'Psddv" Gault. 118. SDartanbur. S3. C.
