Cucci ne6, Holmes Lead : Hit Parade NEW YORK, Aug. 28 ' P) Despite their batting slumps last week, Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves in the National league and Tony Cuccinello of the Chicago White Sox in the American league retained their swat leadership. Holmes slumped five points to .365 and saw his lead reduced to a mere three points as the Chicago Cubs' Phil Cavarretta returned to action after a week's layoff due to a shoulder injury and maintained his .362 pace. Brooklyn's Goody Rosen was still searching for his lost bat ting eye as his skidding average dropped to .341, high enough, though, to keep him in third place. Mel Ott of the New York Giants broke a fourth-place tie with Stan Hack of Chicago end ing the week with a .327 figure, one point higher than the Cubs' third-sacker. Other National league leaders were Luis Olmo, Brooklyn, .321: Whitcy Kurow kl, St. Louis, .313; Dixie Walker, Brooklyn, .310; Don Johnson, Chicago, .309 and Ernie Lombard!, New York, .306. 1 Sports 1 Briefs S,)f :'Cf fallexloa, Jr. V I IMMEDIATE DELIVERY from Portland stock without priority. Limited Number 40 to 120 Horsepower CONTINENTAL "RED SEAL" GASOLINE POWER UNITS Complete with Twin Disc clutch and power take-off Contractors Equipment Corporation Tuesday, Aug. St. 1943 I Klamath Union high school football hopefuls will receive suits Friday, August 31. as a pre lude to the opening of tne piR skin parade on September 21 against the always-powerful Grant Generals from Portland. Last season the Portland prep eleeven humiliated the Pelicans by the startling score of 33 to 0 and the Klamath gridders will be seeking revenge against the stalwart opposition. Although it is too early to say definitely, it appears that the Pelicans will field a light eleven again this season. Coach Paul Angstead plans on using the much discussed T formation, however, and this particular of fensive does not require a great amount of beef. Deception is the keyword to a successful T with plenty of spinners and reverses. Whether or not the Klamath, squad has a potent chucker of forward pass es is another question- that will be settled after practice gets un derway September 1. . Four regulars will return toJ the gridiron wars this season along with Bill Sari who will probably hold down a line posi tion. There are many good pros pects coming up from last year's Wildcat squad and Angstead will endeavor to mold a smooth working unit out of the candi dates. Chuck Thurman and Jim Pope will be back at the end posts, Harold Wirth at guard, Roger Vanderhoff at the pivot slot, Scott Reed at tackle, and Sari. Of the backfield, only Bob Red key, last year's freshman flash, will return. The need of a good pass re ceiver is another Hem that Ang stead will be searching for when the squad takes the gridiron for its first practice session. There is some mighty fine football coming up this season in the county schools. M a I i n, Merrill and Henley fielded teams last year and Chiloquin and Bonanza may come into the picture this season. Coaches at these various schools include Malin, Andy Street; Merrill, George Hobbs; Henley, Carrol Howe; Chiloquin, Joe Stewart, and Bonanza, Clayton Sharpe. That's the picture as the Peli cans head toward another foot ball season. We don't know how many they'll win, but "we do know they'll give it all they've got every minute of every game. Feller May Stop Other Flag Threats Br JIMMY JORDAN CHICAGO. Aug. 28 UP) Ex- sailor Bob Feller probably can't pitch Cleveland into an Amer ican league pennant this year, but before he gets through with his season's chores, the chances are ne n give the pennant con tenders plenty of trouble. "I think he can win every game he starts the rest of the season," Indian Coach Burt Shot ton said today. "I didn't see much of him when he pitched in the American league Before he went to the navy, but if he throws that ball like he did against Detroit last Friday, don't know who can stop him. From what I knew of him, he's better now than he was four years ago." Right now, the Indians are six and a half games back of league-leading Detroit, down in fifth place, with 36 games left to' play. But in that 36-game stretch they meet every team in the league, and have two series with Detroit, third-place St. Louis and sixth-place Chicago.. "I don't know how often he'll pitch, but he'll have to have some bad days if he loses any," Shot ton said. "He's still got that fast ball, and he has some new p.tches that give him a chance to conserve some of his energy." Classified Ads Bring Results.

With Detroit and Washington, the only two teams ahead of the Browns in the standings, appar ently going into nose-dives, the Sewcllmen, as a result of last night's 8-7 triumphs over the Chicago White Sox,' are only four games out of first place, and may sneak into the lead by Labor Day. Should St. Louis sweep the two-game series with the Tigers starting today, they will stand a very good chance to overtake the Bengals and the tough Cleve land Indians and New York Yan kees respectively, the Browns will have comparatively easy pickings in a four-game set with the White Sox from whom they've just concluded a five- game sweep. Browns 19th Win Yesterday's victory over the Pale Hose marked St. Louis' 19th win in its last 24 games, a .792 pace, or the best in the league during the past three weeks. The Browns have taken four straight from the Yankees and two out of three from the Sen ators. The only other major league action was a twi-night double- header between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Phil lies, won by the Giants 4-0 and 6-2. Bill Voiselle fashioned a three-hitter to shut out the Na tional league cellarites in the opener. Sal Maglie gave up nine hits to register his third win in the nightcap. Nap Reyes' loaded bases triple started Charlie Schanz on the road to ruin in the first contest, while Out fielder Leon Treadway paced the Giants hitters in the second with three safeties off Pitcher Dick Mauney including two runs bat ted in.

Saturday night at Medford the navy men downed the marines, 11 to 1, to take over the league lead and set up their Sunday game with the Craters. Pat Patterson, hurling for the sailors on his last day in the service before getting dis charged, held the marines to two singles and fanned 21. Patterson had a perfect game until Jack Pitts, leading off in the seventh frame, beat out a slow bouncer for a hit. Pitts scored a few minutes later for the only Leath erneck tally. Meanwhile, the sailors were hitting Chapin hard and bene fited by several marine errors to pile up their 11-run total. Ruggicro relieved Chapin on the mound in the eighth, Sunday afternoon the navy nine continued to shine at bat and romped over the Craters, 20-7. Weinzerl and Vincegara divided mound chores for the sailors. In the second playoff game the marines barely edged out a win over the fourth-place Cen tral Point Studs, 10-9. Phyllis Otto Rallies To Beat Invincible Babe By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO, Aug. 28 (A) A lass from Iowa, who started playing the game with a single club when she was 11, ruled as the new queen of golfdom to day. Phyllis Otto, 21-ycar-old sen ior at Northwestern university, was the new feminine boss of the fairways after her dramatic 1-up title triumph over Babe Didrikson Zaharias in the 45th women's amateur tournament Saturday. Since 1938, Mrs. Zaharias has mowed down all comers. Three time winner of the women's Western Open, she has been un defeated in 16 straight tourna ments, a string that might have stretched even longer had she been an amateur before 1944. But a tense 36-hole battle at trap-spattered Knollwood club in nearby Lake Forest, 111., dis pelled the Zaharias legend of in vincibility. For the first time, Babe folded under pressure.
