Suds Favored Over Seals in Shaughnessy SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23 OP) Seattle was favored over the San Francisco Seals today In the first game of tho Coast Base ball league's four-out-of-seven game series for 19000 and the President's cup. . The losers will receive $2900. Seattle spent tho early part of the regular 1043 season in the cellar, but it found the necessary zip In time to finish third in the standings behind Los Angeles and 8an Francisco. Then it wal loped Los Angeles In four straight games of the playoff semi-finals. San Francisco qualified for the final round by winning four in row from Portland after drop ping the first two.

Joe Blumenfeld and Clarence Laws, northern California thea trical men who have acquired controlling interest in the Oak land club, were reported to be negotiating with the New York Giants for Camllll's contract.

Sept. 23 (Pi Like taking the Scotch out of a Scotch and soda, It is conceded the Yankees could just about hang a crepe on the St. Louis attack if they can stop Stan Mus lal in the world series. The Pennsylvania pulverizer stands out among this year s scr ies outfielders like a straw hat on Santa Claus. Batting a mere .396 for the season, If he Isn't just about the No. 1 appleknock- or active In the business today, then Umpire George Mager kruth never had an argument But while you shudder about all the awful things Slammln Stan Is going to do to those poor Yankee pitchers, you remember a couple of other details that tend to make a comparison of the series outfields of a cake walk for tho Cards. Reading from left to right, these are (1) the absence of Terrible Terry Moore and Ambling Enos Slaugh ter, the fence climbers, from the St Louis picket line and (2) the fact that tho Yankees have block-buster of their own who doesn't exactly play pat-a-cake up there at the plate King Kong Charley Kcllen Now HustUn' Harry Walker and Danny Lltwhller, who make up, with Muslal, the Cards' var sity outfield, are nice young fel lows and good to their folks, and are thumping at a respectable .207 and not-too-bad .264, re spectively,' at this writing. But not even their sinccrest boosters are going to accuse them of be ing the fly-chasers Terry and Enos were. Keller will be In loft for the Yanks and Bud Methcny, a late- season "bloom who also hits a long ball, will be over in right. Marse Joe McCarthy haa been leading with Roy Weatherly, the mue round-man, In center, aim ply because there's no one bet ter around. But the round man has pulled up lame lately, and it may be Tuck Stainback, the fast moving veteran with the weak war-club, or Johnny Llndell, the converted twlrler. The only thing wrong with the whole pic ture is that the squad of five is made up entirely of left-handed hitters to lace the predominant ly southpaw slinging staff the cards are bringing in. The St. Louis spares are an cient Frank Demaree and Debs Garms, the handy man who can play the infield or the outfield and might even be prevailed up on 10 neip nawx not-dogs.

When In Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anne Earley ' Proprietors V Soptember 23, 1943 Yankees One Day Out of Pennant Clinching Time York Men Can Take Seventh American League Flag With Three More Victories By JUDBON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees, whose pennant possibilities have never been in any serious predicament, have reached the point whore they can clinch their seventh American league champion ship in eight years tomorrow. Apparently realizing that they were running behind the time table, the Bombers bowled over the Detroit Tigers 4-2 yesterday and now need only three more victories to eliminate the Wash ington Senators and two to dispose of Cleveland. Defeats for the Senators and Indians would hasten the process so that the Yanks might get the job done In two days instead of three They showed adequate au thority in taming the Tigers with Charley Keller hitting a three-run homer, his 20th of the year, In the first Inning and Hank Borowy pitching seven-hit ball for his sixth consec utive victory and tenth in 11 games. The Senators sailed to their tenth straight triumph in the first part of a twilight-night doubleheader as Johnny Nig geltng shut out the St. Louis Browns 4-0 on two hits. But they were shelled to a 0-1 de feat in the second game as Den ny Gatehouse pitched a six hitter and was supported with a 14-hit attack. Cleveland's game at Boston was postponed, making a dou bleheader today. ,In the National league Mort Cooper chalked up his 21st success against eight . defeats, but did not look overly impres sive as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3. The Dodgers' defeat tightened the National league scramble for second place as Cincinnati split a double bill with the New York Giants. Elmer Riddle came up with his 20th triumph in the opener, which the Reds took 4-2. In the second game the Giants routed Bucky- Walters with a five-run seventh Inning and won 10-4. Boston beat Pittsburgh 5-3 with a three-run eighth-inning rally built around a pinch dou ble by a newcomer, Butch Etchlnson, and the Phillies halved a pair of games with the Chicago Cubs. Claude Passeau took the first affair 5-1 on sev en-hit pitching and Al Ger heauser hurled a six-hit 3-0 shutout in the second game. In the other American league action the Chicago White Sox whipped the Philadelphia Ath letics twice 6-0 and 2-1. Flat Feet No Handicap to Jimmy Caine PULLMAN, Sept. 23 UP) A pair of flat feet not good enough for the army but still capable of carrying their owner, Jimmy Calne, 100 yards in about 10 sec onds flat Is the latest cheering note in the football picture at Washington State. Calne, 189-pound halfback from Vancouver, Wash., yester day outran. Dick Renfro, assis tant coach and last season's speedy Cougar quarterback, in a special race, and caused Coach Babe Hollingbery to comment. "He'd be a good prospect any year. And boy, can we use him now!' ; Bill Sweeney to Manage Angel Ballmen Again LOS ANGELES. Sept. 23 UP) Bill Sweeney has signed to man age his pennant-winning Los An geles Angels again during the 1944 season. The club's president, Clarence Rowland, has announced the An' gel pilot was contracted for an other season at a "very satisfac tory" salary increase. Both officials declared they knew nothing of rumors that Sweeney may be selected to man age the Chicago Cubs next year, DANCE EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT SKATELAND SIS Klamath Ave. Music Pappy Gordon's Oregon Hillbillies Auspices Veterans of Foreign Wart r PAGE THIRTEEN Young Ball Pilot Has First Revolt Indian Ball Bearer In Row With Young Major League Manager, Lou Boudreau By LARRY SMITH BOSTON, Sept. 23 (P) The major leagues youngest mana ger faced his first player rebel lion today after Pitcher Jim Bagby announced he is "tired of being made the goat" and is will ing to be traded and take a pay cut to get away from Bou dreau." . . The Cleveland Indians' slim right hander told a Cleveland baseball writer last night he had asked to be traded after Mana ger Lou Boudreau had fined him $100 for being out of condition., "How can Lou say I was out of condition?" he said. "Look at the records and you'll find I've pitched more innings than any other man in the league. Is that the record of a guy that's out of shape? He says I don't do enough running. .1 say I run as much as any of our pitchers, more than some. - Why does he pick me out as an example?" The Indians' 16-game winner said he is satisfied with financial terms. The Tribe's 26-year-old pilot admitted "Jim and I haven't seen eye-to-eye on some things," but added "I'd be silly to trade him unless I could get something of equal value for him. I'd like to have him satisfied and happy, but I'd rather have a disgruntled winner than a happy loser." Boudreau's benching of Jeff Heath a few weeks ago provided the first indication that all was not peaceful in the wigwam. The slugging outfielder was removed from the lineup for criticizing an order to "take" the first pitch when he went to the plate with the bases loaded but Lou consid ers the incident closed. "Jeff is in the hospital with bronchial pneumonia," he said, "but if he were well and able to play he'd certainly be with us now. I disciplined him in De troit a couple of weeks ago, but that's all water over the dam. I wish I had him here now, ready to play." Back in 1040 the Cleveland front office quelled an Indiatvup rlslng by firing Manager Oscar Vitt, then under a one-year con tract, but President Alva Brad ley, has. signed Boudreau to the longest contract he ever . has given any pilot a three-year document that doesn't expire un til 1943.

Whitman Out Three With Low Grades WALLA WALLA, Sept, 23 VP) Three backfield men, all pros pective regulars, have been lost to the Whitman college football team preparing for Saturday's opening contest against the Uni versity of Washington at Seattle, Coach Nig Borleske announced yesterday.

Big Jim Conroy was shifted from tackle to center. Jim la 8 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs 202 pounds. He showed fir and toughness in the center spot in Wednesday night's practice. Ralph Mundlln, not so big as Conroy, but a good center, will be there ready to take over the . pivot Job at any time. The Conroy shift solved Ram sey's problem as to where to keep Vern Yank, who now goes In regularly at tackle. Yank and Conroy have been even-Stephen for the tackle post so even, in fact, that Ramsey has been un willing to mention the position without listing both of them for it. Now, Ramsey has them both in the line at once. Ramsey's Pelicans are in good shape, physically and mentally, for the Friday night test Silva's back bruise is now well healed. George Long, second string tackle, has an injured leg, but he was in there In scrim mage action Wednesday night. Ramsey said community Inter est in the Friday night game, with a lot of war bonds being sold for reserved seats, had "really put pep and spirit in our boys." The Pelicans have shown im provement In practice this week with emphasis on the weak spots which showed up in their 31-13 victory over Ashland last week end. . Ramsey figure the Generals will be big and tough, and will play about the same type of foot ball they-employed here last year. They have lost twice in that many trips to Klamath Falls, and this year they are talking about revenge. a roster of plays numbering only about a quarter of those ready for use at the start of last sea son. The shorter wartime training periods, a conglomeration of players from other schools and special demands on key -players under the navy training program which keep them from attending practices regularly have contrib uted to slowing up the p re-season training schedule, Welch said.
