Brooklyn
Yanks Stay
On Tail of
Clevelanders
Br MILTON RICHMAN
United Preti Sports Writer
Now that they've sipped cham
pagne, the triumphant Brooklyn
Dodgers would like a taste of
that long green, and it looks like
they're going to get their $$$$$
wish to meet either the Indians
or Yankees in the World Series.
Both the Indians and Yankees
are doing their darndest to ac
commodate the Dodgers, who
were looking at the world
through a bright, bubbly haze
tdOay after breaking their own
"record for the earliest pennant
clinching in National League
history.
The Indians clung to their half
game lead in the American
League y beating the Orioles,
5-3, in 10 innings Thursday while
the second-place Yankees stay
ed right on the Tribe's tail by
trampling the Athletics, 13-0.
Dodger outfielder Duke Sni
der, speaking for the rest of his
teammates after Friday's wrap-
up 10-2 victory over the Braves,
said, "We don't care whether it's
(Jthe Yankees or the Indians, but
we'd like It to be either one of
. Qem because they both have big
parks and that means more
money."
Other Contenders Lose
The American League's two
other contenders, Chicago and
Boston, both blew 4-1 leads
Thursday as the White Sox bow
ed to Washington, 5-4, and the
Red Sox los, to the Tigers by
the same score.
Virgil Trucks, of the White
, Sox had a three-run lead over
the Senators until Mickey Ver
non homered with one on in the
sixth and Washington went on
to add the deciding two runs in
the seventh. The defeat dropped
the White Sox 2V games off the
pace.
The Red Sox fell four games
back when the Tigers rallied for
four runs in the ninth inning to
win.
Four-Run Burst
The Dodgers routed Bob Buhl
with a four-run burst in the open
ing frame and then added an
other four-run cluster in the fifth
inning with the help of Jackie
. Robinson's two-run homer. The
Dodgers thus broke their own
record for the earliest' National
League clinching, having set the
- previous mark when they wrap
ped up the 1953 flag on Sept. 12.
Despite two home runs by
Wally Post, the Phillies topped
the Redlegs, 6-4, with the aid of
a fine relief job by Bob Miller,
who was credited with the vic
tory. Post became the first right-
banded Cinnati batter ever to hit
more than 35 homers in one sea-
ion when he slammed his 36th
with the bases empty in the third
nd his 37th with one on in the
seventh.
Billy Gardner's homer off
loser Harvey Haddix highlighted
a five-run rally in the sixth inn-
q in that gave the Giants a 6-2
victory over the Cardinals.
Southpaw John Windy McCall
gave up seven hits including a
homer by Alex Grammas, in
notching his sixth triumph.
The Cubs and Pirates were
idle.

Carroll Hardy, filling in for the injured Hugh McElhenny,
seems to float as he goes for 13-yard gain in third quarter

Cardinal is unidentified. The 49ers blasted the Cards. 43-7.
Four-Year-Olds To Tangle
In PAL Mitt Card Opener
Randy Jones and Arney Gal
lagher, a pair of four-year-olds
will provide the curtain-raiser
scrap when the Medford Police
Athletic League holds its battle
of national champions outdoor
boxing card on Saturday night,
September 24, at the Medford
high stadium.
The youngsters were matched
in Klamath Falls a month ago.
They brought fans to their feet
and drew long applause when
the bout concluded. Gallagher
and Jones are neighbors and
members of the Klamath Falls
Moose lodge boys club and are
sparring almost every day.
Jones's father is Chiloquin po
lice chief and has done some box
ing. Headlining the card will be
the tangle between Jackie
Puscas, Eugene, national AAU
lightweight champion, and
George Charles, San Francisco,
U.S. AAU featherweight victor
last year. Puscas, modest but
packing TNT, has boxed for five
years and has won every north
west tourney in his weight.
He has a record of 76 knock
outs in 105 bouts and won the
Canadian international tourney
in 1952, 1953 and 1954. He was
not permitted to enter this ye'ar.
Classed as one of the all-time
hard hitters in amateur ranks,
he has won the Seattle Golden
Gloves crown five years and the
Tacoma Golden Gloves in addi
tion to Oregon titles.
PAL May Score First
In bringing Charles to Med
ford the PAL club believes it is
staging the first bout which has
been held between two national

Dodgers Early
Pennant Clinch
Breaks Record
By FRED PARKER
Milwauitee, Wis. (U.R) A
rookie pitcher with a flair for
strikeouts, Karl Spooner, was
the toast of the Brooklyn Dodg
ers today and a probable World
Series pitcher with the earliest
National league pennant in his
tory safely tucked away.
"I had the best stuff since I
broke in with 15 strikeouts,"
Spooner said after striking out
the first four men he faced and
five others while holding the
Milwaukee Braves hitless five
and one-third innings Friday for
the pennant clincher.
1953 Record Broken
The Sept. 8, 10-2 victory en
abled the Dodgers to break their
own Sept. 12, 1953 record for
early pennants. Ironically, the
victims were the same club and
the same pitcher they beat for
the previous record the Mil
waukee Braves and Bob Buhl.
The 24-year-old Spooner re
lieved after starter Roger Craig
put two men on with singles.
"I couldn't say for sure who
my World Series pitchers will
be," Brooklyn Manager Walt
(Smokey) Alston said. "Don
Newcombe for sure, and Carl
Erskine, Billy Loes and Spooner
if they hold up the way they
have been the last three days."

St. Mary's Grid
Limited Because
St." Mary's high school foot
ballers have been working just
a few at a time since practices
began.
Turnout has been limited to
nine or 10 boys at a time since

New York (U.R) Light
weight contenders Cisco . An
drade and Orlando Zueleta, hop
ing for a winter shot at the title,
will fight tonight in a TV-radio
10-rounder at Madison Square
Garden.
Boxer - puncher Andrade of
Compton, Calif., is favored at
8-5 over the speedy Cuban left
jab specialist,although Andrade
is making his garden debut and
is rated four notches below fifth
ranking Zulueta. "
' His hard punch, coupled with
his boxing skill, apparently
made the 25-year-old "Cisco
Kid" the favorite. He knocked
out 14 of his 32 opponents. Zu
lueta, 27, has had nearly three
times Cisco's experience, but he
stopped pnly five of his 86 tar
gets. Both are xtremely rugged.
Neither was ever kayoed.
LA Rams Battle
'4 9-ers Tonight
Los Angeles (U.R) Both the
Los Angeles Rams and the San
Francisco Forty Niners will rely
heavily on rookies tonight when
they clash in a non-conference
pro grid battle at Memorial
Caliseum. -
The Forty Niners take to the
gridiron minus the services of
two of their top backfield stars,
Hugh McElhenny, who is out
with an injured foot, and Joe
Ferry, who is suffering from a
rib injury received last Sunday.
Filling in for McElhenny at
right half will be Carroll Hardy,
a major job for any backfield
man. Hardy, former star for
Colorado University, showed un
usual promise in earlier exhibi
tion games.
The other Forty Niner rookie
is Bud Laughlin, formerly of
Kansas, who will start in Perry's
fullback spot for the first time
this season.
