Portland's Series With
Angels May Be Turning
Point Of PCL Flag Race
By PAUL WELLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
With five weeks remaining in the Pacific Coast Baseball
league season, the big question is whether the "old man" of
the front-running Portland Beavers can stand the pace of a
stretch drive.
For the first time this year the Beavers have shown signs
of a genuine slump, having had to go all out to gain a 4-4
series split with the Oakland Acorns last week after dropping
a 5-2 engagement with the second-place Seattle Rainiers.
Tonight they open a home stand against the Los Angeles
Angels which may prove whether their lineup of veterans is
cracking.
Suds Face Acorns
Seattle, four and a half games off the pace, faces a tartar
in the vastly-improved Oakland Acorns, who are battling to
wind up in the first division and a chance at the governor's
playoff pelf. The Rainiers edged the Angels 4-3 last week
and are still definitely in the pennant race. Their skipper.
Bill Skiff, forecast three weeks ago that they would displace
' the Beavers before the end of the season. .

The pigskin parade will start
here the last pi this month with

the first workout slated for Sep
tember 1 by Coach Paul Ang
stead. Four regulars will return to
the Pelican fold including Har
old Wirtn, guard; Roger Vander
hoff, center; Chuck Thurman,
end; and Bob Redkey, halfback.
Bill Sari, who would have
most probably held down a line
assignment last year if it had not
been for a knee injury received
early in the season, will also be
a definite candidate for a post
in the forward wall.
Pelican reserves who will be
hot afer starting berths are
Scott Reed, Jim , Pope, Jim
Palmer, Ben De Vore, Earl Han
nen and Tommy Edwards.
Members of last year's Wild
cat squad who will be pushing
some of the varsity are Bob Mo
cabee, Ray Craig, Allen Eck,
Maurice Dwight, Fred Gerbino,
Bob Eastman, Gene Yarnell and
Leroy Coleman.
Bob Dodson and Lester Fos
ter, two outstanding prospects
from last year's freshman ele

the Pelican squad. ""..
The KUHS grid eleven faces
a torrid eight-game schedule dur
ing the 1843 season, opening
with Grant of Portland here on

prospective ball player who has
not been contacted by mail

Portland s decline can De
traced to the game more than a
week ago in which Don Pulford,
its star hurler, suffered a unique
injury. In some manner he
strained the shoulder of his
pitching arm so that two fingers
of his right hand were virtually
paralyzed, impairing his effec
tiveness. Both the Beavers and Rai
niers play at home this week,
after which they will go on the
road or two weeks before con-
ciuaing me season in iwo-wcca
home series.
Seals Meet Sacs
San Francisco, fighting to
stave off Oakland's threat to its
first division spot, tangles with
the third-place Sacramento Sol
ons this week. The Seals are in
fourth three and a half games
ahead of the Oaks and four tilts
behind the Solons. Friday has
been set as "Bob Joyce night" in
the Seals' stadium to honor the
circuit's top winning tosser.
Joyce has registered 27 victor
ies against eight defeats.
Sixth-place San Diego will
journey to Hollywood for a ser
ies against the movietown club,
which lost six out of seven last
week to Sacramento and drop
ped deeper into the cellar.
Davidson To
Tangle Wiih
Sneeze Achiu
In the semi-windup in the
grappling grab-bag Friday nisht
at the Klamath bicep bin, Walter
sneeze Acluu has been booked
to tangle with Buck Davidson,
former scourge of the marine
corps.
None of the boys on the mat
merry-go-round have any use for
Achiu's nerve holds which they
claim are illegal. Georges Du
sette busted "Sneeze" on the but
ton a few times last week just
because of these tactics and he
wasn't kidding.
Buck may be relied upon to do
virtually the same thing Friday
night and this tussle should be
a whooper-dooper.
Dusette and Jack Lipscomb
have been signed to twist torsos
in the main event and the open
er will see the appearance of
Gorilla Poggi, a newcomer to the
Klamath mat wars, who will
meet none other than Milt Olsen,
the Minneapolis thunderbolt.

Rapid Robert
Will Return
To Cleveland
CLEVELAND. Aug. 21 VP)
Batteries for Cleveland: Feller
and Hayes.
This announcement, expected
to resound over the public ad
dress system at Cleveland sta
dium Friday night, will record
the return of Bob Feller, major
league strikeout king, to the
baseball wars.
To fans of the Cleveland In
dians it will mean a new flare
up of pennant fever, which has
been rising steadily the last
month as the tribe, winning 19
of 28 games, surged from seventh
place to within a half game of
third.
Feller, veteran of 44 months
in navy service, most of it in
active duty on the battleship
U. S. S. Alabama, directed the
Great Lakes baseball team this
season. He fanned 50 batters and
lost only one game in five ap
pearances against major league
teams.
Tribe Vice President Roger
Peckinpaugh announced, "Feller
will sail into action against the
Tigers this weekend. If he ar
rives on scehdule he'll start the
Friday night game.
"Bob's return will give us a
mound staff equal to any in the
league," Peck declared.

Hal Nowhouser, Detroit's
slender southpaw lice, is match

coming the first big lennuer to
win 20 games in n sensational
pitching spurt that may menu a
flag for the Tigers.
Hank Greenhorn's return has

Al Benton's hurling has taken
up much of the slack caused by
Dirzy Trout's back miseries but
it's Mr. Ncwhouser who will
make or break Stevo O'Neill's
world series plans.
A year ago Ncwhouser had
the same 20-7 season victory rec
ord as today but Trout also had
copped 20. The slim lefthander
has copped seven of his last nine
starts. He dropped a 3-2 verdict
to Chicago and was lifted for a
pinchhitter in a game that even
tually was lost in 12 innings.
Newhouser Wins No. 20
Ncwhouser's 4-0 shutout of
Philadelphia yesterday was his
20th triumph and the Tigers also
needed Les Meucller's 4-1 job in
the second game as Washington
blanked the onrushing Cleve
land Indians in both ends of a
twi-night doublehcader to stay
within a game and a half of the
lead.
