Welsh is expected to be the Navy team's leading passer this season. Yanks Barge Back on Top in AL; Homers Overcome Detroit 3-2; White Sox Split With Baltimore By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer It may often seem that none of those Jekyl-Hyde contenders can win the American League flag but no less an authority than Leo Durocher thinks any one of 'em can beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series. "The way the Dodgers have been playing it won't make any difference who plays 'em in the series," Durocher stated. "You'd just have to pick the American League team to win. In fact, if the Dodgers hadn't just opened a home stand they'd probably blow sky high and lose the pen nant." The Dodgers won their sec ond straight game at home Wednesday beating the Chicago Cubs, 9-5, and restoring their lead to I2V2 games but you still can't tell Dr. Jekyl from Mr. Hyde in the frantic A. L. strug gle. Yankees Back In First The New York Yankees, who only 24 hours earlier turned in one of their worst performances of the season, barged back into first place by a half game when they beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, on ninth-inning homers by Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle. The Chicago White Sox, "fresh" from a four-game sweep of the Tigers, meanwhile, split a doubleheader with the last-place Baltimore Orioles and managed only a disappointing 2-2 break in the four-game series. The White Sox played like world beaters in the opener, rapping out 20 hits for a 14-1 conquest, then bowed, 2-1, to Bill Wight in the nightcap. Main Rogue Fishing Good Portland, Ore. (U.R) The weekly fishing report as prepar ed by the Oregon State Game commission: Southwest Winchester bay salmon angling remains good. A few salmon are now being taken from the jetties, but most of the fish are still outside. Sea-run cutthroat angling on Smith river reported fair to good. Tenmile lake angling generally slow ex cept for perch. Salmon angling Coos Bay good; silvers are pre dominant. Some jack salmon now being caught in the Coquille river. A few sea-run cutthroats are in both Coos and Coquille tidewat ers. Large catfish are being caught in the Riverton area on the Coquille river. Striped bass angling in mud flats has been fair to good on incoming tide. Trout fishing is good in the mam nogue ana excellent in the north forks of the Rogue and tributaries. Cooler days and cold nights have produced gen eral improvement in all streams. Some improvement is being experienced in Willow Creek res ervoir. Fish lake, Jackson coun ty, is being drawn down to low level, but fishing remains good Trout angling is fair throughout the upper Umpqua area. Devils Lake Waits Races DeLake (U.R) The 1955 Na tional Stock Outboard Motor boat Racing championships open on Devils Lake tomorrow with most of the nation's fastest race drivers expected, to be on hand for the three-day event. The races will begin daily at 1 p.m. HOOP CLINICS SET Tokyo (U.R) The U. S. Army announced today that basketball coaches Harold E. Foster of the University of Wis consin, Robert Vanatta of Brad ley and Clifford Wells of Tu lane will arrive here next week to conduct a series of basketball clinics. Thursday, August 23, 1955 And those Boston Red Sox, who looked so spectacular in walloping Cleveland Tuesday night, were limited to seven hits by Mike Garcia in a 2-0 loss to the Indians. The Kansas City Athletics shut out the Washing ton Senators, 5-0, behind Arnold Portocarrero's three-hitter in the other A.L. game. Steve Gromek limited the Yankees to four hits in eight innings but didn't retire a batter in the ninth. Berra opened the frame with his 22nd homer of the year and Mantle followed with No. 33. The blows gave Bob Grim his fifth victory al though Don Larsen finished up. Pierce Wins Eleventh Billy Pierce scored his 11th victory and lowered his E.R.A. to 1.78 as four hits by Nelson Fox and three each by Chico Carrasquel and Jim Rivera paced the White Sox to their best of fensive outburst since they clobbered the Athletics, 29-6, on April 23. But the Sox scored only on a ninth-inning homer by Sherman Lollar and eight of them struck out against Wight's southpaw slants in the nightcap. Garcia, an "in and outer" all season, scored his second shutout and ninth win in out-pitching 6 foot, 7-inch Frank Sullivan. Sullivan pitched well enough to win most games but suffered his 12th defeat when tagged for homers by Al Smith in the first inning and Bobby Avila in the sixth. The day proved most costly to the White Sox because they lost their edge over the Yankees in the important "loss column." Both teams now have lost 48 games but the Yan'nees have won 76 to Chicago's 75. The In dians are third at 75-49, one game behind the Yankees in each column, while the Red Sox are 4Vi games out with a 71-52 mark. Campy, Hodges Homer Two homers by Frank Kellert and one each by Gil Hodges and Roy Campanella routed Warren Hacker and paved the way for Brooklyn's easy win. Russ Mey er, now 23-2, over the Cubs for his career, received credit for the triumph although Clem La bine mopped up. Wayne Terwilliger and Ray Katt homered behind Don Lid die's eight hit pitching to give the New York Giants a 4-1 ver dict over the St. Louis Cardinals and Dick Hall supplemented his eight-hitter with a homer in leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-0 win over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Milwaukee and Phila delphia were not scheduled. LINESCORES: National League , Cincinnati 000 000 002 2 S 0 Pittsburgh 000 013 OOx 4 10 0 Nuxhall. Minarcin (6). Collum (8) and Burgess.

PROMPT DELIVERY, McAndrews Road Phone 2-5271 games under our belt we may have a team that is just as good as last year's if not better. And we could be a little better than that if the sophomores hold up. Stahley not only has last year s iresnman team to worn with but 20 returning letter- men to offset the loss of such veterans as guard Burdette Hess, quarterback George Eid am, center Ed Barton and ends Frank Teverbaugh and Paul Giles. Among key men coming back are fullback Wilbur Gary, who was the big gun in Idaho's late 1954 splurge; quarterback Gary Johnson, end Ed Hilder and tackles Marsh Jones and Dick Foster. All told, there are seven vet erans to choose from for a back field and Stahley has a wealth of tackles and guards who he thinks will give him a good of fensive and defensive line. He tabs the best looking soph omores as tackle Jerry Kramer, guard Jerry Smythe, end Wade Patterson and halfback Larry Norby. Kramer bids fair to give Fos ter a battle for a starting tackle job while Howard Willis, a sharp transfer from Los Angeles Junior College, guns for John son's quarterback spot. The team's weakest points are on the flanks. Only two ends have had varsity experience. Nor are there seasoned replace ments at center or much depth in the quarterback position. Stahley says he "will stick to his straight "T" offense which he thinks may show more var iety and smoothness after he gets the kinks out of it. The schedule, a little tougher than last year's with the Van dals opening against Washing ton, which has replaced North Dakota: Sept. 17 at Washing ton; Sept. 24 Utah at Boise; Oct. 1 At Arizona; Oct. 8 College of the Pacific; Oct. 15 Washington State; Oct. 29 at Oregon; Nov. 5 at Oregon State; Nov. 12 at Brigham Young; Nov. 19 Montana.
