EIGHT HERALD AND MEWS Friday. Aug. SI. IMS Marines To Clash Vith Navy For Championship Winner Of Southern Oregon League To Be Decided In Crucial Tilt Sunday Coming out of the Southern Oregon league baseball playoffs with the one and two spots re spectively, the naval air station and tho Marino Barracks nines were preparing this week for their deciding tussle at Rccrea- tlon nark Sunday. As the league was originally set up, the teams in the first four slots at the season's wind-up would be representee; in we piay 3 Crucial Series Set In Majors Cubs Come To Grips With Cards; Tigers Meet Tribe; Yankees Battle Washington By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Three of the most important series still hanging on the major league calendar open today as the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cards come to grips for the Na tional league lead while the American presents two dog fights featuring Detroit vs. Cleve- i i - i vA... Vnlr at Wnchine- lull. Anvthine can haooen to the standings before Sunday night when both the Red Birds ana Senators could be occupying the top rung. St. Louis, in addition to sweeping all four from the first place Bruins, would have to count on Chicago's "suspended game" with Brooklyn as lost to case into the lead by percentage points. Three Strong Starters Billy Southworth has the same three-starters who k.nocked off Chicago three straight last week end, to go in the four-game ser ies opening tonight under the Sportsman's park arcs. Harry Brecheen, Ken Burkhardt and Red Barrett with probably George Dockins to finish up. Charley Grimm also has his aces in line with Hank Wyse, Claude Passeau, Hank Borowy and Ray Prim ready. Two single night games and a Sunday double are listed. Pittsburgh made the Cards' task a little easier, yesterday by downing Chicago, b-4, slicing their lead to four games. Three runs in the seventh with the help of a triple by Al Giongnddo, double by Bill Salkeld and a single by Frankie Gustine de feated Reliefer Paul Erickson. Preacher Roe scored his 11th triumph with help from Xavier Kescigno. titan Hack s iirst m - ning single was the 2000th hit of his major league career. New York Gains New York was the only con tender to gain in the American by a 7-1 romp over Boston with Floyd Bevens turning in a gaudy one-hit job. Cleveland got away 'with a 4-4 tie in Chicago as Don Ross homered after Dutch Meyer sin gled in the ninth frame off Orval Grove. It was a tie game be cause the umpires had to halt play by agreement at the end of the ninth to permit the Tribe to hop a rattler for Detroit. All other American leaguers had an off day. Any repetition of last week's sweeps by Cleveland over De troit and New York over Wash ington will really scramble the American league chase, setting the stage for another driving September finish. The Tigers are sure to see Bobby Feller again, probably Sunday, and must face Allie Rey nolds and bteve Gromek while countering with Dizzy Trout and Hal Ncwhouser in the first two tilts of the three-game set. offs at Medford. This took place last weekend when the navy and the marines, who were dead' locked in the first place position, fought it out to an 11-1 decision in favor of the. Bluejackets. Then on the following day, the sailors played the third place Medford Craters and the Leatn crnccks met the . fourth place Central Point Studs. The navy won 20-7 and the marines came through, 10-9. Sunday s game then Is strictly one of local interest. Both mil itary teams, and natural rivals. the sailors and Leathernecks have outclassed all opposition in this area and are definitely set on putting everything into the final encounter to decide the winner of the league. For the pitching duties the marines -will probably start Hy Chapin. impressive right hander, who has won 1 1 and lost 4 this season while the navy is unde cided at the present time. Game time is three o ciock Sunday afternoon and the public is invited to attend rree oi charge. Shields Beaten By Argentinian In Net Tourney FOREST HILLS. N. Y., Aug. 31 OP) Elimination of fifth seeded Frank X. Shields by Ar gentina's Alejo Russell and the defeat of Wednesday s upserwin- ncr.

In the quarter finals today Russell will oppose second seeded Bill Talbert of Wilming ton, Del., who has won nine tournaments already this sum mer..

PARTY h . i 1 1 m i j i ! i if Jlr ' 4 1 , aJ.R.wiliiaM Lipscomb To Defend Junior Mat Crown Against Dusette Fairy Trace Cops Longacres Feature SEATTLE, Aug. 31 VP) Fairy Trace made up a 10-length dis advantage to win the ' $1020 feature seventh race at Long- acres race track yesterday. The winner paid S14.3U. S6.10 and S2.90 in the mutuels. French Parasol placed second for $5.80 and $2.60 and the favorite, Join Up, paid $2.30 show money. Total mutuel handle for the day was $174,102. Blood and gore will drip from the Klamath arena tonight when Jack "Buck" Lipscomb defends his junior heavyweight crown against his hated rival, George Dusette, the French - Canadian Hercules. The brutal Hoosier has snarl ed that he will send Dusette from the ring in a wooden over coat and that he thinks Georges has unmitigated gall to even at tempt to regain the belt. In fact, Jack leads one to believe that the party is going to be a bit rough tonight and that the chal lenger will be lucky to get out in one whole piece. On the other hand, Dusette has several points in his favor. He defeated Lipscomb here last week and also possesses an iron determination to regain the laurels he lost to Jack in Port land. Chances are Georges will de pend mainly upon his crushing full-Nelson to win back the toga, while Lipscomb will resort to every trick in the book to be labor his opponent into submis sion. Betting up and down the main drag seems to give Lipscomb a slight edge with the odds mount ing in his favor as the time for the bout comes nearer. Support ers of Dusette point out that he possesses the most punishing hold of any muscler on the cir cuit in his full-Nelson, but the boys backing Lipscomb feel that Georges will not be able to cope witn Jack s savaee attack. Whoever wins, this tussle will be one of the most exciting frays to taice place here since Tige was a small dog and may the best man win. In the scmi-windup, Gorilla Poggi is slated to tangle with Terrible Ivan Jones in another first class tiff. Poggi made an auspicious debut here last week by practically moidering Milt Olsen and will be hot after an- Beavers Whip Padres, 6-1; Increase Lead To 2Vi Games Geese Coming In At Tulelake Geese are beginning to wing in at the Tulelake game refuge, according to Howard Sargeant, reiuge manager, although no definite count has yet been taken. They arc mostly honkers, he said, and lots of speckle-breast arrived mere last week. The geese are feeding on Lower Klamath lake more than at Tule lake, Sargeant stated, and most of the flocks are migrating from the extreme northern part of the United States. No snow geese have arrived as yet, but an influx of geese of all kinds is expected soon, he said. By PAUL WELLS Associated Press Sports Writer The pressure on the Portland Beavers eased slightly today as tne Faciuc uoast league pace setters added a game to their slim first-place margin. Their 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres, plus Seattle's 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Sacramento Solons, put the Bevos two and a half games ahead of the second- spot itainiers. ban t rancisco s 3-1 loss to Los Angeles cut the third-berth Seals' lead over the Solons to a single tilt. Hollywood dimmed Oakland s hopes of entering the mat uivi&iun uy Dealing ine Acorns 5-2. Pitching Pays Off Stalwart pitching, which has been the bulwark of Portland's strength all season, paid off again last night. Portsider Wan- del Mossor allowed San Diego only two hits and would have gained a shutout except for his own wildness when he walked four men in the first inning. Centcrficldcr Frank Shone, who scored three runs, broke the ice for the Beavers in the third when he doubled and came home on Mel Nune's single. Portland counted again in the fifth, add ed a pair in the seventh and two more in the ninth, all off Southpaw Jim Brillheart, losing pitcher.

The Rainiers were lead ing 4-3 when Johnson walked Gene Handley and Jo-Jo White. Both scored on Rightf ielder Jess Landrum's smashing two-bagger to left center, ending the game. Rookie Joe Vivalda, 'teen-age hurler who got credit for the win, gave up 10 hits to Johnson's six but scattered them effective ly. The victory was Sacramen to's first in four starts against Seattle this week. Charley Cuellar, hard-luck Los Angeles chuckcr, helped win his own game in beating the Seals 3-1. With the score tied 1-1 in the last of the seventh, Cuellar punched one of Elmer Orclla's wide-breaking curves down the left field foul line for two bases, scoring Len Greene and Russ Peterson, both of whom had singled.

Aug. 31 (iV) The 19th annual American Legion junior baseball finals is turning out to be one of tho most hotly-contested In the annuls of the classic.
