Monday's results:
new xotk 1U-8 Fnuadaipnia S-O
By CARL LUNDQQUIST
New York (U.R) Brooklyn
was ready for the "big kill" to
day and Charley Dressen, the
Chipper skipper, ordered a
smorgasbord of Florida crab
fingers for the celebration.
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.

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. Coach Joe
Stydahar recently singled out
End Jim Cordial of Oregon State
and Guard Emmett Williams of
Oregon for their work in an
intra-squad game and said they
will both see action against the
Rams.
The Rams, working at Red-
lands, Cal., have defeated two
service teams so far this year,
With Quarterback Norm Van
Brocklin, ex-University of Ore
gon All-American, ready for his
greatest year the Ram passing
attack will be stronger than
ever. '
In addition to the veteran
standout pass receivers, Tom
Fears and Elroy "Crazy-Legs'
Hirsch, Van has a new throwing
target in Ed Barker of Washing
ton State.
The game will start at 8 p.m.
It will not be telecast or broad
cast. Reserved - seats will be
available by mail for one more
week before the box office
opens. Tickets can be secured by
writing Oregon Sports Attrac
tions in the Dekum building.
English Channel
Swim Postponed
Dover. England (U.R) Flor
ence Chadwick, 34, postponed
her second attempt at a non
stop swim across the English
channel and back today be
cause of a heavy swell.

Margaret's bay near here.
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.
