Although navy football coaches
aren't saying anything, don't be
surprised If Midshipman Cecil
Cuffee of Birmingham, Ala.,
turned out to be the best back at
Annapolis this season. Duffee
was kept under wraps as a
plebe last year, but those who
have seen him say he really can
go . . . And incidentally, don't
take too much stock of those re
ports of navy s line "weakness.
. . . Inspired by the success of
the weekend visit o the Brook-
line, Mass., American Legion

hope to make it an annual tus
sle for the Eddie Quinn trophy
... In his first year in the majors
1905 Ty Cobb got in so far
wrong with his Detroit team
mates that Manager Hughey
Jennings decided to trade him
off for the good of the club. The
offers weren't so good, so Ty
. only remained a Tiger for 22
seasons. .

semi-pro baseball tourneys and
what have developed into a pair

seems to be causing any trouble
is U Neui a Detroit team.

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,

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."

Loop Flag
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
While others have been steal
ing the spotlight, the American
league champion St. Louis
Browns are quietly going about
playing the brand of baseball
that may gain them their second
straight flag.
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.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28 (IP) A
$4,313.90 daily double playoff
the highest on the North Ameri
can continent since 1942 and
New York's richest was regis
tered at Belmont rarK today.
Miss M. J. O'Leary's two-year-old
Buddie Bones won the first
race and returned $136.80 for $2
on a straight win ticket.
U. xl. Bostwick s Junction
City, a field horse among the 14
starters triumphed in the second
at $20.40, $8.30 and $5.20 across
the board.
The richest daily double pay
off on record is the $10,772.40
for $2 returned by the combina
tion of Joy Bet and Merry Caro
line at Washington Park. Chi
cago, on August 14, 1939.
Twenty-three $2 tickets and

Navy Nine
Will Meet
Marines
Setting the stage for a Klam
ath Falls playoff for the South
ern Oregon league title next
Sunday, the local marine and
navy nines won their opening
Shaughncssy series game against
Medford and Central Point in
Medford yesterday afternoon.
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.
