TWO HERALD AND HEWS Tigers, Cubs Pitching Staffs Handcuff Rivals Early Indications Point to Chicago, Detroit In World Series In October Br JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer If pitching in the early games tells the story, the Detroit Tig ers and Chicago Cubs are headed for an October world series date. While the Bengals have been e slapping the ball at a .281 clip. Dizzy Trout, Al Benton and Hal Ncwhouser have been throttling their American league opponents with a measly .193 batting aver ace.

Pittsburch, spoiled only by Rookie Bill Salkeld's eighth in ning single. Pitchers Blank Sluggers Tha Unmf run hall has not been troublesome to either De troit or Chicago, tne tiger siau having blanked the long distance sluggers and .the Cubs yielded only a pair. Every mound crew has given up at least one circuit clout, except Steve O'Neills gang. Russ Derry belted half the New York Yankees total of eight homers, high in the American but their rivals across the Har lem river, the New York Giants, have collected 13 and the Boston Braves 11, thanks to Butch Nie man and that shortened right field wall! Nine Shutouts Hurled Nine shutouts have been pitched in the National, three by Chicago with Claude Passeau, Bob Chipman and Wyse each contributing , one. Of the seven hurled in the American, Detroit has three, two by Trout and one by Benton. ' ' Things were' so tough during spring training days, Grimm had to borrow veterans Hod Lisen bee and Guy Bush from the Reds so they could play an exhibition. Now his average of two mounds men a day is not far behind the Brooklyn figure of 17 pitchers . Worth CuliBV. """IS.

Ore., May 1 (Pi The ranks of northern di vision, coast conference, football grew stronger over the weekend with announcement by Graduate Manager Percy Locey that Ore gon State college would "defin itely" field a football team this fall. Locey. announcing the de cision of the Oregon State ath letic board Saturday night, said, "we will play even if we have to choose sides and play among ourselves." The Beavers will make up a schedule at the Pacific coast con ference meeting in June, its ex tent to be guided by conference action and war conditions, he reported. Coach Lon Stiner reported more player material available than at any time since, the war began. The last Beaver grid team played in 1942.

Oregon and Montana still are on the aouot ful list. Anson B. Cornell. Oregon ath letic manager, said there was no change in Oregon s stand on re turninff to intercollegiate foot ball despite the return of Oregon State college to the grid, and le.-ving Oregon as the only north ern division school, expect Mon tana, to remain idle. e win have football here as soon as manpower makes it possible and practical, uorneii saia. Some observers believed, how ever, that action to return to the Pacific coast conference football field may be taken at the next Oregon athletic board meeting, to be held within the next two weeks. Achiu WW Meet Dusette In Mat Tiff Promoter Mack Lillard an nounced this morning that the headline event on the mat card at the armory Friday night would -nit "Sneeze" Achiu against Georges Dusette. The "Grey Mask" refused Lil lard's offer to meet either Mo relli or Achiu in the main tussle. Mr. Stoneface has been playing coy with the boys now for some little time., but this bout should top anything the hooded heel could possibly offer in the way of real rassling. Acniu specializes in his famous Chinese sleeper" and Dusette is an exponent of his equally fam ous standing full-Nelson. An interesting point is that Achiu seldom uses the sleeper unless his opponent starts rough ing it up and Dusette- is well- known as a clean graprjler. The question is will Achiu be forced to resort to the dangerous hold in order- to subdue Dusette or will he use only the orthodox holds? Dusette is probably the most powerful muscleman to perform here in a good many years, while "Sneeze" is fast and clever. This match should provide enough tnrnis ano action to satisfy the most calloused fan. In the semi-windup, Lillard has obtained the services of Ken ny Ackles, who is reported to be a bicep boy a bit on the flashy side. Ackles is said to have been wowing them in Hollywood and will make his debut here Friday against a top opponent. ANGELS GET HURLER T.ns iNr.r.T.r.e Man 1 u.

As soonsors will have to be we ask all men interested in forming a team to either call us on the phone or drop us a line stating how many players and how much equipment will be available from each source. This will give us a definite line on the number of teams that will be avail able and enable us to go ahead in the securing of sponsors. We assume a few business amount of athletic gear from past preciate prompt notification on ah tne games will te played now stand, and this will not conflict in any way with the ma rines use of the grounds. We really go over with a bang in Klamath Falls if property organ ized and we urge the cooperation of any and all outfits which might be interested in forming a team.
