Dodgers Top

Tiny Margin
Only Microscopic Variance
In Strength of Leaders in
Notional Leaguo Flag Race
By JUDSON BAILEY
Attociated Prtti Sportt Writer
A microscope still is standurd
equipment for National league
funs trying to find any difference
In strength between the Brook
lyn Dodgers and the St. Louis
Cardinals.
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. The Cincin
nati Reds squeezed back Into the
first division by beating the New
York Giants 3-1. Ray Starr gave
an effective eight-hit pitching
performance for the Reds and
also singled with the bases load
ed for two of their counters in a
three-run second Inning that de
cided the game.
At Philadelphia the surprising
Phillies conquered the last place
Chicago Cubs 8-4 to extend the
Bruins' losing streak to six

"I had a small snapshot that

Shaughnessy Predicts Big
Boom in Post-War Football
By ARDEN SKIDMORE
PITTSBURGH, May 18 (JP
Clark Shaughnessy, soft-spoken
"T" formation stylist who hopes
to put the roar back Into Pitt's
Panthers, predicted today that
college football would enjoy the
greatest boom in the history of
the game after the war.
"Those boys are going to have

they return, and football is the

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.
Jim Bocchl and Baldy Foster,
two of the most sensational and
versatile athletes ever to attend
KUHS. are receiving their diplo
mas this weekend. They both

Turning to the more immedi

"the game, of course, will be

but he added, "Pitt, I know is
