Medford' brand-new conch, Lorns Arnold, says of the Tigers following their H-0 pmtlng by Miuslifleld Frldny: "They (ought their heart nut and I'm proud of thorn. Ann hint overwhelming weight odd tlmy never gnvo up, nnd If they continue to show the umi spirit nnd (crap they'll win some bull gnmet, never worry." "We lost to i bettor bull club." Bo there you mny have the tlpoff that the perennially power- ; rul Blnrk Tornado ha blown out lit lrnst for thin year. The plnatcrlng woi not en tirely unexpected on the basis of the Tigers' strictly mediocre 13-0 victory over Yreka a week ago, coupled with rumors com ing across the hump In the In terim. Mut It was a lot more decisive tlirm perhaps anyone had foreseen. The Madfcrds wore oulgiilned, 10 first downs to four. Billy Iiulcn's gume story re vouls tho Tigers took the field on the sniull end of a 181 to 160 pound weight differential. Among the Marshflelds were Tackle Gordon Toxlcy, 280 pounds, and Fullback Kenny Maine, 205 pounds. Plus a IBS pound cuutt-r, another tncklo at 1 1)5 pounds and a 183-pound end. There are several of you guys about town who want mora about tho game, we hear. Be cause wire services are too Jam med presently, what with war and uollt'go grid news, to bother much with prep games, wo didn't find out until today. So hero's whnt llulcn snld: "Led by Kenny Maine, a 208 pound fullback and Jim O'Neal, 105-pound left half, tho Pirates of OrvllleMitcd) Dm 1 ley shoved over touchdowns In the first and fourth quortors. "Employing wide sweeps around tho ends with O'Neal and Main carrying the ball, the Pirates scored their first touch down six minutes after the game started, with O'Neill taking tt across. "In the fourth quarter the winners got their other score whon O'Neal fired a long for ward pass to Jerry Ford, left end. Medford hud successfully halted Mershfleld's running at tack after that first-period touchdown, the defensive half backs coming up fast to smear the wide sweeps. "In thu second qunrlor the Tor nado tallied a touchdown on an iotricato forward pass followed by two laterals, but tho play was called back. Had the score been allowed, the entire com plexion of tho game might have been chnnged, Arnold said. "Starting on their own 33-yard Una the Tigers moved to the Murshiicld .45, w h e r a Jack Maker, quarterback, shot a for ward pass to Bob Young, right end. Young, after catching the ball, latcralcd to Darroll Mon teith, left end, and Montolth, tackled on the 13-yard stripe, in turn tossed a lateral to Steve Dlppel, left halfback, who went over standing up. However, the beautifully-executed play was called back by the officials, who claimed the second lateral was tossed forward.

Hotels Jammed But Aura Previous Classic Lacking In Series JB ".VvrS,.- s' i Cooper Expected to Hurl Opener for Cards; Ruffing or Bonham Will Oppose By OAYLE TALBOT ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20 (AP) St, Louis remained extremely calm and collected about the Impending world series as its Cardinals took their final workout today and the renowned Yankees closed In from the east. Unless one rend tho newspapers, there was nothing to Indi cate that tho two flag winners were due to start belling each other at Sportsmnns park tomorrow oflernoon. There were no banners; no bourse talk In hotel lobbies about "our Cards." In short, the so-called world se ries atmosphere of other years appeared to have taken a leave of absence. The hotels were choked, and It took both I reservation and a willingness to argue to get any sort of room. But they say tliut is a normal condition these days and in no wise related to baseball's banner attraction. The local explanation of the seeming apathy toward the se ries is that the town wore Itself out rooting the Cardinals home in their amazing September drive to the pennant. The fans needed a couple of days' rest before taking up the big assault on the Yankees tomorrow. All reserved seats to the first two games here were sold a week ago. The Yonks not riding a spe cial train this time, but occupy ing uppers and lowers like everybody else were due to arrive shortly before dark to night, too late for a workout. They will not see the field un til tomorrow, but the fact Is of no Importance because . they played the Browns 11 times at Sportsman's park this season and know Its every shadow. ' Shouting and carrying on much as thoy have all season, the flatnbuoyant Red Birds held a long practice session yester day, then attended a barn dance in their honor last night and were scheduled to hold another workout today. It was obvious that Manager Billy Southworth meant to keep ' his scrapping youngsters at razor-edge. He didn't want them to relax and start thinking too much about the series. Perhaps the most important development of the past 24 hours was Manager South worth's more-or-less announced intention to start Johnny Beaz ley, his 23-year-old rookie pitch ing star, in the second game against the Yanks. At least, he said he "would like" to start Beazley in the second heat be fore a home crowd. This oc casioned some eyebrow-lifting, as managers usually lean to ward their experienced flingers In a world series and it had been assumed by everybody, including the Yankees, that Max Lanier would follow Mort Cooper to the hill for the Cards. Cooper is, of course, a cinch to face the Yanks In the opener, and to pitch three times if the series goes seven games. Whether Manager Joe Mc Carthy of the Yanks will start his ace, Ernie Bonham, or his 37-year-old world series special ist, Red Ruffing, In the opener might not be known until the pitchers start warming up to morrow. Out here they feel certain It will be Bonham vs. Cooper. Billy Southworth, manager of tha St, Louis Cardinals is ex pected to name big Mort Coop er to tha starting assignment agolnst tha Yanks tomorrow In Bt. Louis. Red Ruffing or Ernie Bonham may oppose him. Ticket Prices Soaring for Series Seats By CHARLES DUNKLEY ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 29 P) A sellout of all reserved scats for world's series games start ing at Sportsmans park tomor row sent scalpers prices sky rocketing today with "brokers" asking as much as $50 for a $6.00 box seat and $20, for $3.75 reserved seats. The scalpers or "ticket brokers" are required under federal law to register with the collector of Internal revenue and must poy tho government taxes of 11 per cent of the ex cess over the established price of the tickets. They also are required to obtain a $100 li cense from the city. Five "brokers," two from Philadelphia, one from New. York, another from Chicago, and one from St. Louis, have registered.

Superlative Pitch. na Seen Only Way Cards Can Wallop Yankees (This Is the last of a series comprising the prospective world series opponents). By OAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Sept, 28 (fl1) The St. Louis Cardinals prob ably should be warned in ad vance that the reckless hell raislng base running that has served them so well In the Na tional league is likely to back fire on them if they try it on the Yankees In tho world series. Tho Yankees are not a stam peding ball club, and the first, tlmo Billy Southworth's wild young men start tearing around the sacks on undisclosed mis sions the Chun res are that they will be swotted firmly. The Yankees never will become flus tered and present the Cards a cluster of runs. There Is only one way the Cards can defeat the proud American league champs. That Is with superlative pitching, light fiulcllng nnd timely hit-, ting. The Yankees can be beaten, of course, but only the hard way. Study of the two clubs has shown to the satisfaction of this writer, at least that the Yankees have a far more ex plosive outfield than the Car dinals and a better Infield, with Joe Gordon an absolute stand out at second base. In Gordon and Phil Rizzuto they possess the best double play combina tion in baseball. Pitching undoubtedly Is the Cardinals' strong point, and if Mort Cooper and Max Lanlor are at thnir best In tho series the National leaguers will stand a chance of battling the Yanks When in Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anna Earley Proprietors right down to the last batter out in the seventh game. If Cooper, In particular, gots belted around at the start, it could be over In four games. National league batter who have seen more of Cooper this year than they might have wished, say he Is a truly great pitcher when "right." One man ager,' who will remain anony mous at his own request, pre dicted the other day that Cooper would handcuff the Yanks every time he faced them. That indi cates the respect in which his league rivals hold the Card ace. mm. iiii HI OXFORD mar ioom wtth rva a iwown ONI V30 FEtsoM A & J. NUONS 2 50 & 3 corril IMOe a cowan louMat J .1 u.

The large coach said a team which keeps the ball in the air like the Loggers is always dang erous. And additionally when the squad is playing on its home field. Last year the coast club's sophomore back, Frankie Mas saro, " heaved better than SO passes against the Pelicans on Modoc field. Most of them were long but accurate enough if the Califomians had possessed equal ly capable receivers. This weekend Eureka will be additionally favored by daylight. .The game is scheduled for 3:30 Saturday afternoon, dim-out reg ulations having forced cancella tion of all night games in the coastal area. Ramsey said he was pleased with the performance of the Klamath third stringers in last Friday's tiff with Redding. They Sam Angott Whips SpoldJ In Jubilee' NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29 OP) A small crowd of S00O fans who saw the Corbett-Sullivan Golden Jubilee boxing show here last night booed a champion in action and thd referee twice threatened to throw both fighters out before they finally mixed a little leath er. Sammy Angott of Washington, Pa., NBA world lightweight champion, took the decision from Aldo Spoldi of New York in the main event of four 10-rounders, but he moved so slowly that Ref eree Happy Littleton had to stop It and force him to speed up ac tion. Angott weighed 139 i and Spoldt 1371 for the non-title scrap. Richard Lemos of Los Ange les, former NBA featherweight champ, and Bobby Ruffin of New York, tossed rights and lefts ga lore in their draw. Lemos weighed 133! and Ruffin 134i.

Tommy Farmer, Ortiz' manager, announced signing of tha bout. look particularly good on de fense, he said. Ramsey indicated that prac tice this week would be devoted primarily to pass defense but ground play stoppers would not be overlooked. The squad came through the Redding game in good shape, he said. . Al Hostak In Seattle Comeback Go SEATTLE. Sept. 29 W) Twice a winner and . twice a loser of the . NBA's world mid dleweight boxing, championship, Al Hostak i answers the lure of the comeback trail tonight. Once . . heralded as - Seattle's "Savage Slav," s Hostak, still only 28,' and claiming to be in the best shape since he lost his title to Tony Zale; will take on young Harry (Kid) Matthews of Seattle, formerly of Emmett, Idaho, in a 10-round test. It will be the first big name opponent for Matthews, a hard hitting k(d who w o n. . nine knockouts and three decision In his 12 fights here in 1941-42. The railbirds, skeptical about Hostak's fighting heart on tho basis of his losses to Zale and Ken Overlin in 1941, are in clined to make Matthews the favorite, although conceding Hostak the edge on punching if he can land one of hi old-time rights in the early rounds.
