Card's Musial
Puts Redbirds
Back Into Tie
By The Associated Press
Judging from the wy Stan Musial has been renewing sc
quaintancea with his pitching "cousins," the St. Louis Cardinals'
slugging outfielder may becoma the first big leaguer to attain
a .41)0 batting mark since 1841 and the first National leaguer to
' reach those heights in 16 years.
The 23-year-old ex-gob, who interrupted a brilliant career to
join the navy at the end of the 1944 season, quietly has been
mauling enemy hurlers for 27 hits in 65 appearances at the plate
to compile a batting mark of .413.
Musial got hix hits yesterday as the Cards gained an even
split with Boston's Braves and moved into a first place tie with
Brooklyn in the National race. His trio of safeties in the opener
helped give the Cards a 7-2 decision and Lefty Max Lanier his
fourth victory without defeat. The Braves with big Mort Cooper
holding his former mates to 10 well scattered blows, turned the
tables in the nightcap 10-4. 1
Another former Redbird with
Boston, Outfielder Johnny Hopp.
got six hits for the day, two of
them home runs in the nightcap
as Boston Manatrer Billy South
worth got an even break in his
first series in St. Louis.
Bucs Down Dodgers
Pittsburgh knocked the Dodg
ers out of undisputed first place
by sweeping a doubleheader be
fore an overflow crowd of 37,933.
A pinch single by Jimmy Brown
scored Jack Barrett for an 11th
inning triumph in the opener.
Another timely hit, by Frankie
Gustine in the sixth, brought a
4-3 victory In the nightcap, halt
ed by Pennsylvania's curfew law.
Rip Sewell, who hurled the
first nine innings of the opener
for Pittsburgh, was taken to a
hospital suffering from a gastro
intestinal upset. Pittsburgh's
double victory put the heretofore
disappointing Bucs in a fourth
place tie with the Chicago Cubs.
Huge Ernie Bonham made his
1946 Yankee pitching debut
a success by whipping the Chi
cago White Sox 4-2 before 33.938.
It was the Yankees' fifth straight
victory.
Hank Hits One
Detroit's losing streak soared
to seven until Hank Greenberg
snapped the string by belting a
homer and then setting off a two
run rally with a single to give
the Tigers a 5-4 victory over
Philadelphia. The Athletics
copped the opener 10-2 as Bobo
Newsom notched his third vic
tory. Hal Schumacher of the New
York Giants proved he still can
beat the Reds when he out
pitched Johnny Vander Meer 3-2

Pels Meet
Acid Test
The Klamath Pelicans under
go an acid test, one on which
their hopes of participating in
state baseball play hang, tomor
row afternoon on Del Moro field
when they play host to the
Grants Pass Cavemen.
The game is scheduled to be
gin at 3 p. m. and will probably
be the toughest of the current
season for the K-men.
Grants Pass stands in the way
of the Pelicans and possible en
try in the state baseball finals
this year. The Cavemen are un
beaten in this conference, hav
ing trimmed the locals by a
score of 7 to 1 already.
That is the only Pelican loss.
A win over the Grants Pass boys
tomorrow would throw them in
to a tie for the loop leadership
and probably set up another
playoff game to decide which
nine goes to the Portland tour
ney. Coach Ed Ryan will probably
start his workhorse of the mound
staff, Joe Carroll, against the
Cavemen, but will be prepared
to throw in every man on the
squad to beat the Rogue river
boys.

Retriever Club
With the organization of the
Klamath Retriever club last
week and the possibility that
field trials will
be held here
next fall, inter
est in real
sport hunting
takes another
swing upward
in this area.
A good
trained retrieve
er is a valu
able companion
on a hunting
trip, a thing
of beauty to
watch work al
so with a good
dog the master
sure of locat
ing the birds he knocks down.
From a humanitarian stand
point it lessens the chance that
a crippled or winged bird will
get away in the brush to suffer
and die, doing neither the
hunter, the bird or the sport any
good.
Members of the Portland Re
triever club have offered to
come down this fall and help
put on getting the field trials
started. Approximately 30 dog
owners and sportsmen got to
gether to organize the local club,
so with that many hunters in
terested there will probably be
some outstanding dogs devel
oped here.
Klamath county and southern
Oregon is one of the best bird
hunting areas in the country and
the interest in retrievers should
be a great help to sportsmen
who want to get the most en
joyment out of hunting.
L. P. Montgomery was chosen
president of the club; Dick Mor
gan, vice president; Jack Hale,
Harold Van Hoosen and Wallace
Uerlings, directors, and Dr. F.
Cecil Adams, secretary - trea
surer.
Anyone wishing to join the
club, get any information about
the organization or the proposed
field trials here, or about hunt
ing dogs generally, can contact
any of those men.
The next meeting of the Re
triever club will be announced
in The Herald and News,

Seals Emerge
Still Leading
Br The Associated Press
With the luck of an Irish
manager, San Francisco's Seals
emerged today from their worst
setback of the season leading the
pack by two and one-half games
in the Pacific Coast baseball
league.
A doubleheader split yester
day with the Los Angeles Ser
aphs wound up the first series
in which San Francisco, at the
top since the start of the season,
has received a dunking. Los
Angeles won the first game yes
terday, 3 to 2 in 10 innings, and
the Seals annexed a 9-7 nightcap
decision, giving the Angels a
series victory of four games to
three.
When Manager Frank (Lefty)
O'Doul clutched his shamrock
and put his Seals on the diamond
yesterday, the Oakland Oaks
had a chance to catch up in the
pennant chase. But the Holly
wood Stars met the situation
nicely, from the O'Doul stand
point, by pouncing on the Oaks
for a double thrashing, 5-4 and
2-0.
Oaks Drop Back
This dropped Casey Stengel's
Oakland club back into its ac
customed third place, a half
game behind Los Angeles, and
ended the series with a 4-3 for
Hollywood.
The Stars won the first when
All Anderson was walked with
the base loaded in the ninth
inning. They got their two runs
for the nightcap victory in the
first inning with the aid of an
error and a balk.
