Those two rivals for tlie pen nant In the senior circuit collid ed at Ebbcts field yestorday for tho first time this season and the Dodgers won by tho most Infini tesimal margin possible, 1 to 0, This was good enough to chase the Curdlnuls into third pluco and mnkc it impo.ssiblo for them to gain the league lead during their stay In Brooklyn, but it fulled to indicate any clear cut superiority for the long grind ahead. The twilight tussle, opening a four-game scries, was decided on a run In the second inning. Dlx io Walker led off with a double, the only extra base blow of the game. He advanced to third on an Infield out and Alex Knm pouris wolked. Then Pitcher Rube Melton rapped a perfect double play grounder to Third Baseman Jimmy Brown, but Kumpouris banged Into Lou Klein at second hard enough to break up tho throw to first and Wolkcr scored. It was tho first victory for Melton and the first defeat for Pollct, who allowed seven hits and four walks. Another southpaw, Ernie White, was scheduled to face the Dodgers today with Whitlow Wy att on tho mound for Brooklyn. Only two other games, both In the National league, were ployed yesterday.

"Those boys are going to have a lot of steam to get rid of when they return, and football is the first they'll turn to for rough-and-tumble competition," said the former Chicago, Stanford and Maryland coach as he laid the groundwork Jor Pitt's spring By VIRGIL GROSS Two of last year's Pelican baseball players are now starring in the northwest conference base ball playoffs held in Walla Wal la. Ken Benham pitched Whit man college to a 4 to 1 win in the second game of the series, while Bud Larson, our sensation al shortstop, handled seven hard chances without an error for Willamette university in the same game. Orchids for both boys. Benham is a junior and Larson is a freshman at. their re spective schools.. The boys are now playing against one another. Quite a change from last year. "Red" Milhorn, ex-city police man and now assistant police chief at Newell, is organizing a baseball team there. "Reds team has" been working out at the camp for nearly three weeks, and are proposing a game with the local Pelican outfit this com ing Sunday at Tulelake. Local baseball Is getting un derway with the Pelican team having many aspirants trying out for this year's war edition club. Many young boys, as well as old timers, are expected to fill in the gaps left by those who entered the armed services. Practices are being scheduled for Wednes day and Friday nights at 5:30; and games are to be played on weekends.

It's very unusual for a town this size not to have Legion ball, and why they do not have It, remains an unsolved question. It doesn't seem possible the Legion organization in this city would not get behind a team. There will be thousands upon thousands of teams throughout the nation this year more than ever before yet there is not even the sign of it here. There are hundreds of kids right here who long for the same training that boys in other cities have. Surely the Legion organization wouldn't let tlie boys down Whatever the reason is for not Phys Ed Man From Bend Takes Job At Olympia YMCA OLYMPIA, May 18 () Mau rice L.

He added: "The state of physical fitness of our modern armies is so high and in such enormous quanti ties it's difficult to picture Just how big this boom will be. But it'll dwarf anything we exper ienced after the last war." Turning to the more immedi ate outlook, Shaughnessy said, "the game, of course, will be strictly second fiddle to the war, but he added, "Pitt, I know is going to play. After all, the public can't fret and worry about the war 24 hours a day. There's got to be some diversion.'.' having a baseball program here, the values of such a program must not be overlooked.
