YEB MZCrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday '"IT 1- 1955 Has Winner Reputation Portland Sid Gillman, one nt tha "winninffMt" rnaphea of moderh football, makes his pro fessional coacning aeDut wnen h Mndi the Los Angeles Rams against the Pittsburgh Steelers here at Multnomah suaium Aug tut 6. . Oillman was aimed by the Rams last spring after compiling the second highest winmng per Mntiu imnni maior college coaches He was recommended by Frank Leahy, former Notre Dame coach. The amazing Gill man has never had a losing sea son as a head coach. Gillman won all Big Ten hon ors and All-American mention at Ohio State from 1931-1933. He played with the college all-stars in the first pro-all star game in Chicago and also played in the East-West game. He played pro ball with the Cleveland Rams, forerunner of the LA club, in 193S. Great Record He served as an assistant coach at Ohio colleges until 1943, when he became head coach at Miami of Ohio, compiling a four-year Mimi r, ii urin. It losses and 1 tie. In 1948 he assisted Earl Blaik at Army, then moved to Cincinnati, where in six seasons his record was 50-1-1, losing only a single game in three of five years. This great record attract ed the attention of the pros and the Rams signed him and a new staff of assistants. Gillman's offense follows the traditional pro pattern of "pass-screen-trap," only with the Rams he will have some of the greatest players in the game to make it work. The Rams are currently in the throes of their training grind in the heat of Redlands, Calif., a place calculated to get any group of athletes into condition. Norm Van Brocklin, when once asked the toughest job he ever faced with the Rams, replied "getting out of Redlands alive." The game between the Rams and Steelers will be a nocturnal affair, starting at 8:30 o'clock, as will the game Sunday night, August 28 between the Rams and New York Giants. The complete' tabulations of a federal census are generally not available until from three to five years after the data has been acquired. . siPODimrs (SBamits Seat Graves; (Ms BkopTTwo More By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer A thoroughly dejected Charley Grimm found only one straw to clutch at today when he evalu ated his Milwaukee Braves! chances of overtaking the Brook lyn Dodgers in . the National League pennant race.. "I managed the Chicago Cubs in 1935 wnen xney won i straight games to close out the cMin " Grimm said alter tne Braves' disheartening 6-5 loss to th New York Giants Monday niffht. "That's the only way I can figure it now you're only out when they count '10' over you r.rimm. who was under fire himself for his third-base coach ing in Monday night's sloppy scramble of so-called contenders, nondered a moment and then added: "If we were right, we'd have swept the series with the Giants." As it was, the split of the four game series left both teams with out a reasonable argument for believing they could catch the Dodgers who, incidentally, bowed to the Cincinnati Redlegs, 9-5, Monday night. Cubs' Losses Mount : To make matters even more rosy for the Dodgers, the pseudo contender Cubs' losing streak mounted to eight games when they were defeated, 8-6 and 2-1, by the Philadelphia Phillies. The first game was the completion of Sunday's suspended contest in. which the Cubs led, 5-4rin the sixth while' the second was a regularly scheduled contest in which Herman Wehmeier out dueled Warren Hacker, 2-1. Center-fielder Bill Bruton's muff of Willie Mays' 410-foot fly with two out in the seventh in ning permitted Alvin Dark and Whitey Lockman to score with two unearned runs that gave the Giants Monday night's victory. Don Liddle received credit for his third win while Warren Spahn suffered his 10th loss. Grimm, Milwaukee's third base coach, was under fire for failing to send Del Crandall, who had tripled, in to the plate in the ton of the seventh when Spahn flied to Mays for the first out. Grimm held up Crandall and Mays' throw was far off the plate althoueh very strong. Pinch-hitter Glen Gorbour three-run homer enabled the Phillies to rally for five runs and win their suspended game with the Cubs and Roy Smauey s two-run fifth-inning homer aeainst hi former teammates provided all the runs Wehmeier rpouired to notch his seventn triumph. The Phils have won five straight. N.L. castoff Jim Wilson turned in his fourth shutout of the sea son a two-hitter as the Balti more Orioles snapped the Chi cago White Sox's seven-game winning streak with a 3-0 decis ion. Gus Triandos hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Hal Smith doubled home the third run in the eiehth. Wilson now has a 7-9 record for the Orioles. Rov Sievers' 13th . and 14th homers of the season paced the Washington Senators to a 6-3 tri umph over the Kansas City Ath letics in the only other major league game played. Ted Aber- nathy was the winner ana uoya Boyer the loser. LINESCORES: American Letu Baltimore 200 000 0103 7 rMnan MM) (Of HOO fl - 2 Wilson"'(7-9T and Triandos.
