' Bill Sari Definitely Out Of Game;
Klamath May Stress Passing Attack
By PAUL HAINES
When the fledgling Klamath Pelicans try their wings
against the Grant Generals tonight at 8 o'clock on Modoc
field in the opening grid game of the season, they are going
to have to give away plenty of weight.
1 The Klamath forward wall will average 168 pounds ot
kickoff time while the Crant line averages 177 pounds per
man a difference of nine pounds per player.
Outweighed
The backfield situation is even worse with the Generals
outweighing the Pelicans 22 pounds per man! The four Klam
ath backs slated to start the game tip the scales at an aver
age of 147 pounds and the Grant backs weigh on average of
169. ,
There is no use in beating around the bush in an attempt
Cards Drop
Cubs, 2-0;
Tigers Lose
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
' Detroit may back into the
American league pennant by
matching Washington loss for
loss but the St. Louis Caidinals
are taking care that Chicago will
have to win U e National iehgue
flag the hard way.
Harry (the Cat) : Brecheen
played with Charlie Grimm's
dancing Bruins last night, shut
ting them out with only six hits,
2-0, for the Caidinals' 15th vic
tory in 20 starts - against the
Cubs.
Cards in Running
Relegated to the scrap heap of
also rans after Hank Borowy
turned them back in 10 innings
Wednesday, the Red Birds again
are only two games behind Chi
cago with eight to go. Two
more with the leaders are slated
next Tuesday and Wednesday
after the Cards entertain Cin
cinnati twice while Chicago is
at home to Pittsburgh for a
three-game set.
St. Louis' three night games
at Sportsman's Park produced
three keen pitching duels.
Brecheen's decision - over Ray
(Pop) Prim was most important
to Billy Southworth's tattered
crew which would have been
virtually eliminated, four games
behind, if they hadn't won.
Marion Stars
Despite Brecheen's fancy
southpawing, it took sensational
double play engineered by
Marty (Mr. Shortstop) Marion
in the ninth inning to make it
stick. Brecheen, the league
leading pitcher, now has won
his last six straight, allowing
only a total of 29 hits in the six
outings. He has gone the route
11 times in his last 12 starts.;
Phil Cavarretta, Chicago's
candidate for the league batting
title, slammed his first hit of
the series, a double in the ninth,
while his average shrank to .350,
only one point ahead of Boston's
Tommy Holmes. -----
Both National league contend
ers are idle today with the only
action a twi-night doubleheader
between Philadelphia and
Brooklyn which dropped a 3-2
game to Boston yesterday.
Nats Blow Chance
Washington missed a chance
to go into a virtual tie for the
lead and Detroit blew an oppor
tunity to take a commanding
lead when the two pennant
scrappers dropped respective 6-1
decisions to New York and
Cleveland. As a result Steve
ONeill's Bengals retained their
one-game advantage.
Allie Reynolds tossed the In
dians to a 6-1 edge over the des
perate Tigers just when it
looked as if Detroit was going to
squeeze through with a 1-0 ver
dict for Al Benton. The Tribe
flattened the ex-sailor and con
tinued on Dizzy Trout and
George Caster for six runs in
' the eighth inning, shortly before
a terrific downpour halted play
for 42 minutes.
With Washington running out
of games to play they have
only four more counting today's
finale with the Yanks the odds
favor Detroit although they
don t plav again until Saturday
and Sunday when St. Louis in
vades Briggs Stadium for two
single tilts. In all the Tigers
have six to go.

-to find compensating laciors in
favor of the Pelicans, inis is
big advantage for Grant and
might well be the difference be
tween defeat and victory for the
Ked-and-white.
K-Men Will Win
If the K-men outcharge the
rival eleven, however, they will
win irrespective of Grant's
weight margin. This often hap
pens in such cases tne lighter
team gets the jump on the op
position by starting sooner,
driving harder, and keeps the
other outfit off balance.
Be that as it may, Klamath
Falls grid fans will get their
first glimpse of the Pelicans to
night under Coaches Paul Ang
stead and Ed Ryan. Enthusiasm
is rampant and a capacity crowd
is expected to be on hand when
the two elevens take the field.
The Klamath squad held its
last pre-game drill last night
under the arcs and it looked as
if the Pelicans would be hard
to stop in any league.
Decked out in their colorful
game uniforms of crimson and
white, they ran through a
snappy workout, stressing a po
tent passing attack with Leroy
Coleman doing the chucking
from the quarterback position.
Show Speed
They showed speed galore in
charging up and down the green
turf of Modoc field with Tommy
Edwards at fullback. Bob Red
key at left halfback, and Her
bert Barker and Bob Mocabee
alternating at the right halfback
berth.
The forward wall was com
posed of .Chuck Thurman and
Dee Nelson at ends, Richard
Fdust and Bob Thompson at
tackles, Harold Wirth and Bob
Eastman at guards, and Roger
Vanderhoff at center. Bill Sari,
who was slated to hold down a
regular tackle assignment, will
definitely not start tonight's
game, although he may see a
few minutes of action. It was a
severe blow to Klamath's hopes
when Sari suffered a recurrence
of an old knee injury that kept
nun on the sidelines last year.
Klamath Will Score
The impregnability of the Pel
ican line will be a vital factor
in tonight's tussle. If it can hurl
back the attack of the Grant
eleven, the Klamath offense will
take care of the scoring depart
ment.
The Generals will also have
a new mentor in Jim . Mush
Torson when the fine rivalry
between the two schools is re
sumed for the sixth time on the
gridiron. Great - sportsmanship
has always been an outstanding
teature of these previous titanic
struggles and the same will hold
true tonight.
Coach Angstead said last eve
ning that, "they'll know they've
been in a ball game. We'll give
'em everything we have." That's
all anyone can ask.

The umbrella salesman from To

brella at arm's length last night
and declared he had missed half
a dozen putts no longer'n that,
but in spite of this asserted
weakness around the greens he
was stepping into the second

Piluso To Battle Lipscomb
Promoter Mack Lillard will
come up with a double main
event on the mat card tonight at
the Klamath arena when Rough
Rufus Jones, negro scourge from
Detroit tangles with Georges
Dusette, the French Canadian
Hercules, and burly Jack "Buck"
Lipscomb battles Ernie Piluso,
the pride of Portland.
The boys will flip a coin to
decide which bout precedes the
other and Tex Porter will ref
eree the show. Rough Rufus will
be out to subdue Dusette with
his savage head butts but will
be wary of Dusette's crushing
full-Nelson.
The negro mauler wastes no
time in guzzling his opponents
