    rACE TWO
Marines
Will Play
Navycats
Grid Contest Will Be
Played In Klamath Falls
Sept. 30 At Modoc Field
Willamette university's Navy
cats will come to Klamath Falls
for a' football game with Major
Clyde Roberts Marine Barracks
team on Saturday. September 30,
according to tentative arrange
ments revealed today.
Major Roberts talked by tele
phone with Willamette officials
yesterday. It was not decided
whether the game will be played
in the afternoon or evening, but
it was tentatively set for Septem
ber 30, the only open date on the
Willamette schedule.
The Marine Barracks coach
was busy today looking for more
games for his squad, which has a
lot of promising material and is
already working out.
Klamath football fans are look
ing to the Marine Barracks team
to help break up a football lull
which will occur here early in
the season because the Klamath
high school schedule will take
the Pelicans'away from home
most of the weekends in that
period.
.The Pelicans will be at Salem
on September 29, the day before
the Willamette - Marine game.
Only one Pelican game is slated
on the home field in the first six
weeks of school here. That is the
Grant game September 22.
Indicative of local support for
the Marine Barracks team as
well as the Pelicans, the Quart
erback club directors have voted
to enlarge the club's interests
this year to include the marines.
High school officials have indi
cated a cooperative spirit and, it
is expected, the marine games
ca,n be arranged conveniently for
Modoc field without interfering
wjth the high school schedule.
:"I've heard a lot about the
football spirit in Klamath Falls,"
said Major Roberts today. "I
know you fill your grandstands
for the high school games, and
we hope we can also attract good
crowds to the marine games.

Quite a few of the 11,868 folks
wno saw xe Williams get a 10
round decision over Sammy An
gott Wednesday night at Shibe
P, a wondered today whether
the officials who gave the Tren
ton, N. J., negro the nod were
looking at the same fight.
Judge Lou Tress gave Wil
Hams four rounds, Angott five,
and called one even. Judge Ed
die Loughran, brother of Tom
my Loughran, the unhittable ex
light .heavyweight king, gave
Williams six rounds, Angott
three, and rallort nna avan
(But, so. divergent were their
vicnro inik uiey agreeo. on only
two of the 10 rounds, each giv
ing Williams the first and An
gott the seventh. Tress gave the
last three sessions to Angott, and
Loughran gave the same three to
Williams.
Under Pennsylvania's quaint
boxing laws, the referee decides

Rookie Hurler
Cinch to Win
20 for Giants
NEW YORK. Sept. 8 Bill
Voiselle, 25-ycar-old New York
Giant hurler, seems a cinch to
become the first rookie pitcher
to, win 20 games in a season
since Jim Turner and Lou Fette
of the Boston Braves and Cliff
Melton of the Giants did it in
1937,
The best Giant rookie Ditcher
since Christy Mathewson gained
his 19th victory yesterday, 9-3,
while holding the Braves to three
hits.
Voiselle annoars to have the
edge on Ted Wilks, St. Louis
Cardinal star as the outstanding
rookie of the year. Wilks, with
a much more powerful team be
hind him, has won 10 games.
The rubber-armed righthander
leads the loop in innings pitched
with 280. With at least five
more starting assignments lett,
Vniselle : should easily too the
300 mark, to threaten Burleigh
r.rimcs' total of 331 in 1928. the
best since Grover Alexander's
363 in 1920. ... -
The six foot four workhorse
is the first Giant pitcher in 20
years to beat the BrooKiyn uoa
gers six times in one season.
The hard working pitcher, a
native of Ninety-Six, 5. C. car
ries a little book, in which he
enters practically everything he
does on the pitching mound. He
keeps a complete me on Dauers
weaknesses, strong Doints. etc.
"I'd be lost without this book,"
he said.

Associated Press Sports Writer
St. Louis was back on top of
the American league today, tied
with the New York Yankees, aft
er three days in second place,
but infield jitters and the onrush
ing Detroit Tigers gave Manager
Luke Scwell no peace of mind.
Joe McCarthy s clan was due
to open n cut throat series with
the fourth dIbcc Boston Red Sox
at Fenway Park today while St.
Louis hoped to continue pawing
their "cousins" from Chicago
whom they have drubbed 10 out
of 14 starts.
Detroit's enforced idleness due
to an open date in the schedule
braked down their advance for
at least 24 hours but the error
column was the Brownies' new
est menace. In the last seven
games, 14 misplays have been
registered against tnem, seven by
the all-important second base
combination of Vern Stephens
and Don Gutteridge.
xne Brownies almost missed
their chance to tie the idle Yanks
last night because of early-inning
boots against Chicago. Three
runs in the ninth inning, two off
tne oat ot ftiiKe Uhartak who
came through with a bases load
ed single, turned the tide, 5 to 4.
lex smirley, the third St. Lou
is hurler. was credited with his
fifth win over Reliefer G o r d y
Maltzbergcr in a game played be
fore 6455 Chicago fans, most of
whom were cheering for the
Browns.
Detroit Dulled to withi n n sin.
gle game of the deadlocked lead
ers on Dizzy Trout's impressive
mree-nii snutout ot Cleveland,
3-0, for his 24th victory. The ec
centric righthander's record
snowed 28 complete games, six
shutout (tops in the American)
for 297 innings of effort.
Roger Cramer stretched his
amazing hit string to 24 safe
blows in his last 44 at bats as the
Tigers raked Jim Bagby for nine
singles and a double in his seven
Inning stay.
With each of the four contend
ers slated to play 21 more games,
the schedule called for the
Browns and Tigers each to ap
pear at home 17 times, Boston 17
away and New York 19 on the
road. - i
Although there were only two
tilts listed in the American, the
National presented an all-night
program featured by St. Louis'
14th successive triumph over
Chicago, 3-2. The Bruins had a
2-1 edge with two out in the
ninth and aDDeared to be on the
way to routing the Cardinals
Jinx but couldn't make it. Don
Johnson's error let the tying
run in and Bob Chipman wild
pitched the big one home.
Bill Voiselle copped his 19th
as New York trimmed Boston,
9-3, with the help of Mel Ott's
26th homer and Ernie Lom
bardi's 9th. Ed Heusser bested
Fritz Ostermueller to give Cin
cinnati a shade over Pittsburgh,
z-i, in tne iirst game of their
scrap for second place. The Phil
lies came from behind in the
late innings to down the Dodg
ers, 7-5.
