PLENTY OF FOOTBALL
MATERIAL AVAILABLE
They are now pruning a pre

college and professional stars to
a squad of 120. Their list Includes
89 former National Football
League players, Among them
are Ken Kavanaugh, Norm
Stundlcc, Sam Francis, Waddy
Young,- Ben Klsh, Win Ander
son, Kayo Lunday, John Melius,
Whlzzcr White, Dwlght Sloan,
Kay Eokln, and Nick Basca.
Tho professional picture Is
muddled by war losses. Among
tho Important new faces who will
be able to play are Curt Medium
of Oregon, Bill Dudley of Vir
ginla and Charley O'Rourko of
Boston collage.
Mocham, a great triple-threat
back, passes and kicks from the
port side. Ho Is expected to be a
main cog In Mlko Qctto's of
fenso In Brooklyn. Gctlo replaces
Dr. John Bain Sutherland, who
Is now In the navy.
Dudley, only IB, was a heavy
All-America vote-getter last fall.
Ho will play with the Phila
delphia Eagles.
O'Rourko, n Beantown star In
1040, coached ft high school last
year. A superlative passer, ho
will play with the Chicago Boara
an understudy to Sid Luckman.
Tho Halas Honchmcn will
have Luckman, Gcorgo Mttsso,
George Wilson, Hnrlnnd Pool,
Young Bussey, Dick Bray, Ray

it was almost the whole works In tho major leagues.
In tho greatest one-day concentration of pitching prowess

fact, thero was only ono triple.

By The Associated Preaa
The Salem Senators finally
stopped the Western Internation
al Baseball league-leading Van
couver Capilanos last night with
a 5-2 victory that was all but
won by Sam Taormani's hard
hitting bat.
Taormani homed in the first
inning with the bases empty,
doubled to score another run in
the third, sent a third runner
home with a single in the fifth
and then scored himself on Jack
Richards' double.
Vancouver, however, did not!
lose any of its league lead as;
the Spokane Indians defeated
the second-place Tigers at Ta
coma. 2-1, in one of the tightest!
pitching duels the WI league!
has seen this year. i
The duel featured Spokanos
Hub Kittle and Tacoma's Chet
Johnson, with both men pitch -
ing four-hit ball. All three tal -
lies made by the two teams were
unearned.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8 tVP)
Tho Pacific Coast league will
uatifnairiln ii-IMll
fold up for the duration of the '.
war. after its current season
ends in about two months, Presi
dent Charles H. Graham of the
San Francisco Seals believes. "
By next year there just won't
be any young men available to
play baseball, he told an inter-
ewer. - . . - , .
"We'll have to quit."
Graham's son, Charles Jr., Is
in the army. Recently Graham's
publicity man, Walter Mails,
joined the. marines.
Anyone can" see the . way
things arc going," said Graham.
The army and navy are call
ing up more and more men. De
fense jobs are claiming ' other
thousands." ' ','
Graham, who Is known among
coast sportsmen as an almost In
curable optimist under ordinary
circumstances, took a ' deep
breath and frowned.
I'm afraid this is our last
season for the duration," he- de
clared. "You may know how
long that will be. I don't."
