Piln.ll 0, Chloato 4, (Onlr ) By SID rEPER Associated Press Sports Writer The chances are you are never going to see Jimmy Brown up there in the Hall of Fame. And you'd be willing to bet hi chance of landing the most valu able player award any year are about a bright as one of those "solid gold" watches you can pick up for a dollar. But when It comes to nanatng out the posle to the guy who did as much or more than anyone else to bring the St. Louis Card. Inula the National league pen nant, don't overlook Jame Rob ertson Brown of the Jamesville (S. C.) Brown, pal. Of course, the Cards still have the little Job of sewing up the flag first. But after their 2-1 win over Pittsburgh yesterday In which Second Sacker Brown, Incidentally, knocked both runs across they still sported a 21 game bulge, with only five to go, even though Brooklyn took a 3-1 decision over tne amines. And around Broadway today, the boys were laying 20-1 against the Bum. There will no doubt be some argument over Jimmy Brown, of course. From day to day when the folks it around over their oda pop, they talk about Mort Cooper zip-ball and the awful things country slaughter does to pitcher. And when you men tion Jimmy, they generally brush him off with, "oh, yeah, he' pretty good too, but he's only batting .260." Yet, National league managers say he's the key man In the works, the guy who Hold the Infield together. And opposing lnfielders shudder when he gets on base, because, they tell you, "he'll steal any thing." Yesterday, he pulled one out of the fire almost without any help. In the fourth inning, he singled the first run home. Then, after the Bucs tied it up, he drilled a hit through the Infield in the ninth to knock the game wrecker across. Meantime, the Dodgers took a 3-1 lead in the first frame against the Phils and hung onto It, although Klrby Hlgbe was in more tough spots than a rubber check specialist. WHITE SOX GENEROUS NEW YORK According to the clubhouse boy at Yankee stadium, the White Sox are the most generous tippers In base ball. lenced. Former professional stars play side by tide with amateur in one big happy fam ily. There is Lt. Gale O'Brien, former Nebraska tackle, who played pro ball for eight year. Lt. Ed Manake, ex-Northwestern end, served a five year hitch with the proa. Lt. O. W. Mc Dowell, end, and Ensign Nello Falaachl, quarterback, are four year professionals. An ex-pro or a three year varsity man doesn't have to be taught how to play football. Coach Oliver' only problem is to coordinate the talent he ha on hand. Any one of three back fields available would make most college coaches turn handspring for Joy. The same goes for the linesmen. The Frefllghters employ two styles ot attack, the T-formation and the Notre Dame box. In their opening contest they had more success with the "T" than the shift Ensign Falaschi spark ed one of the backfields in the T-formation and although he i schooled in the Notre Dame sys tem a an old Santa Clara play er, his quarterbaoklng was as spectacular as that of Frank Al? bert, who led Stanford to the 1040 coast conference champion ship.

"We're Lucky," Says Ramsey of Grant Tiff Klamath Coach Calls Pass Defense Inadequate; Signal Calling Flayed "We were lucky, very lucky," Coach Frank Ramsey told member of the Quarterback club Monday noon in recounting tha Klamath Falls-Grant high football game ot last Friday which the Pelican won, 15-0, although outgalned and outdowned. "Our pas defenie wa Inadequate to handle the clever aerials the General tossed at u and Dick Vaillancour's interception could have gone either way," Ramsey said. "If he had missed the catch, it would have meant a clear score for them, the big coach asserted. The new KUHS mentor said, however, that he was very well satisfied with the defensive play of the line which was topped by the work of Phil Blohm at cen ter. Signal calling, he asserted, left much to be desired. Ramsey's address headed a well-attended meeting of Quart erbacker. In the Willard hotel. The session was conducted by President Lee Jacobs and also addressed by Joe Peak, director of Klamath school athletics. Jacobs appointed a committee to handle the club annual end- of-the-season awards to Pelican football players.

Ramsey said he expected Ni hil to work from a power forma tion with a minimum of passing. The former Wildcat coach turned out an unbeaten secondary team during his stay here three year ago. It wa learned today that this year's Wildcat team, under Wayne Scott, dropped a 34-0 de cision to the Henley Hornet of the Klamath county B league Fri day night on the Hornet field. Front Runners .
