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.

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
