Yanks Take On A's Today
In Only Game of Flag Race
Bengals Will Roar Into First Place
-If Mackmen Trip Pace-Setting Yanks
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Connie Mack's lowly Athletics
put the chill on Detroit all season
long, winning 10 of 19 from the
pennant contenders, but Tiger
town today was 100 per cent be
hind Philadelphia as the A's
tangled with the Yankees in a
resumption of American league
competition.
If the Mackmen, a step out of
the cellar, in seventh place, can
trip New York, Detroit would
vault into the lead by .008. The

The Pelicans displayed a ver
satility of attack in their work
out yesterday that boded ill for
the Grant Generals when they
come marching down from
Portland to do battle with the
Klamath horde next Friday.
. Berry rifled passes through
the air with deadly accuracy
and Bud Biehn shot through
the front ranks of the defensive
squad like a bullet.
The eleven operating on de
fense resisted valiantly but
were out-maneuvered by the
attacking, force as the drive was
deployed from one flank to an
other with substantial ground
advances.
If the Klamath attack is as
successful against Grant it will
not be surprising if the Gener
als find themselves demoted to
the rank of buck privates after
the fray.
; The softball tilt this after-,
noon, which will find the
marines from the Barracks en
deavoring to sink the sailors
of ,the naval air station, should
be a honey of a ball game. Both
tens have plenty of talented
material to draw from and it
will be a case of Katie bar the
door and the devil take the
hindmost when they get to
gether. The main mat go at the arm
ory Friday night will be a rug
ged affair. Paavo Katonen, the
Foxy Finn, likes to have that
title belt where"he -can put-it
on, and not around the waist of
the Vancouver Viking, Jack
Kizer. Kizer Jfeels the same
way about the whole thing only
vice versa so, as they can't get
together, Paavo must toss Jack
in order to force him into a
belt battle. You take it from

New Rule Adopted
To Protect Boxers
From Serious Injury
- CHICAGO, Sept. 13 VP) In
a move designed to protect box
ers from permanent and possible
fatal injuries in the ring, the
Illinois State Athletic commis
sion has ruled that fighters who
have suffered brain concussions
will be banned from engaging in
bouts. Six boxers were banned
from further fighting by the new
rule.
The commission also ruled that
any fighter knocked out by a
blow on the head can not fight
for six weeks.

New York at Philadelphia.
Only. game scheduled.
Yanks-Athletics tilt was the only
game scheduled from Monday to
Friday but they were due for two
more in New York over the
weekend while Boston played
Washington, St. Louis entertain
ed Chicago and Detroit visited
Cleveland.
American league teams, think
ing of the world series, took
heart from the Cardinals' contin
ued slump as the Red Birds drop
ped a doubleheader to Pittsburgh
for their ninth defeat in their
last 13 starts.
Attendance figures reflected
the tightness of the flag chase
with New York showing the way
at 727,385 and the entire league
drawing 4,185,000 customers. De
troit was second with 648,642
and a cinch to take the lead with
14 more home games to two for
the Yanks.
Rain washed out Cincinnati at
Chicago and Philadelphia at New
York doubleheaders in the Na
tional after the Phils had taken
a 2-0 lead in three innings of the
opener. Boston at Brooklyn also
was postponed.
The Cardinals fell before the
Pirates' Fritz Ostermueller, 5-3,
in the first game and then drop
ped the nightcap, 6-5 as Preacher
Roe took the decision over Bud
Byerly.
Bobby Doerr Will
Change Uniforms
At Gold Beach
EUGENE, Sept. 13 (JP) Bobby
Doerr, second-baseman and lead
ing contender for the American
league batting championship,
passed through Eugene today en
route to his "winter home" at
Illahe on the Rogue river for a
few days of fishing before re
porting to his draft board.
The member of the Boston Red
Sox, now. in the thick of a four
team race for a spot in the 1944
world series, said he had heard
of no change in the plans of his
draft board and would report at
Gold Beach, September 19. He
assumes he will be sent to Port
land and from there to Fort Lew
is, Wash., for induction.
He was rejected from military
service last June because of a
perforated ear drum, but was re
called by the examining board
which declared the perforation
cleared up. As far as he knows
he still has the ear trouble, and
has had it for the past 20 vears.
However, he is ready to serve
his country at arms if they want
him. Doerr, considered by many
Daseoau experts as the best second-baseman
in modern baseball,
regrets to miss the present dog
fight his Boston club is now en
gaged in.
His present batting average is
.325, a mark that may or may
not stand . Two teammates, Pete
Fox and Johnson are -potential
winners of batting honors and he
is pulling for both of them. -
Doerr set a major league rec
ord last season for the number
of games played and chances ac
cepted without an error, and was
the. batting hero .of the 1943
all-star game.. . ... - .-..

From somewhere in France,

had no life at all. Games didn't
interest them. But after a year
or so all the kids were playing
baseball, yelling, fighting like
they do back homo . . . Even
the service Tommies, RAF, etc.,
took up baseball in preference
to cricket. Now the cricketeers
are afraid baseball will com
pletely ruin their game" , .

any more . . . The Columbus

Former Wrestler
Gus Sonnenberg
Takes Last Fall
WASHINGTON. Sept. 13 (IP)
Gus Sonnenberg, 44. credited
with introducing the "flying
tacKie to professional wrestling,
died last night of leukemia at
the Bethesda, Md., naval hospi
tal. Sonnenberg, who had served
as a navy chief specialist at Great
Lakes, 111., and Bainbridge, Md.,
had been ill eight months.
He came to wrestling promi
nence bv defeating Ed (Stran
gled Lewis in Boston when Lew
is was recognized as world cham
pion. Sonnenberg was a pioneer
in unonnoaox tactics wnrcn
brought new popularity to wres
tling in the early 1930's. His
much-publicized flying tackle
actually was a head-blow to his
opponent's midriff, with all 235
pounds of his short frame behind
it.

By RUSS NEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13
lP) Oddities from the sports
front!
This Isn't exactly "slop press"
stuff but among secondary things
that "something should be done
about it" is tlio classification of
a Spokane - prizefighter named
Joey Dolan as "Pacific const fen-
tncrwcighl champion. ...
The Pacific const embraces the
state of California, Oregon nd
Washington, not to mention Brit
ish Columbia and Mexico, und
covers considerable territory to
which a boxing title clnlm may
bo made.' ... it is intriguing,
therefore, to nolo thut when Do
lan fights he is labeled as the
champ of such a region. . .
We checked on this with Jack
Hcwins. the Spokane AP cor
respondent, who reports thut Do
lan is recognized as Pacific const
featherweight titleholder by the
Washington state athletic com
mission. . . . Prcsumubly this is
supposed to make it official but
your reporter disputes the Men
and retaliates with the conten
tion that if the Washington ath
letic commission sanctions Do
lan as the coast champion, the
commission has attained a new
high in gall. . . . The California
athletic commission' Is a pretty
big and important outfit and gov
erns the conduct of perhaps a
hundred fights where the Wash
