rf Cardinals Fail To Slide Ahead By The Associated Pirn Brooklyn'! dismal slump and the Cardinals- habit of losing to the Phillies Is leaving the door wide open (or the Chicago Cubs In the National league pennant scramble. Although the Dodgers still rule Ford Frlck's roost by a half gome, many baseball men believe the real 1946 race In Septem ber will find the Cards and Cubs battling for the flag. Counted out of the race and rated "Just another wartime club," in the early spring calculations, the Bruins today are a strong third, breathing hard on the necks of the St. Louis Red Birds and only 3 games out of first place. The Cubs made ground yesterday by drubbing the Braves, 10-0. In the afternoon and then watching both the Brooks and Cards bow under the arcs. Bob Chipman's six-hit shutout per formance, his first win in over a month, added another cheery note to the Chicago situation. Recent pitching form of Johnny Schmitz, Hank Wyse and Hank Borowy has been encouraging. St. Louis once again refused to take advantage of a chance Junior Loop Stars Chosen Fifteen boys out of a list of 17 prospective players from Klamath Falls Junior American Legion diamonds will go to the junior legion district No. 4 base ball playolls in an auempi 10 earn a chance to attend the ' semi-finals and possibly state finals, according to Lynn Roy croft, athletic chairman of the local American Legion post The team selected to represent Klamath in the playoffs will pit its skill against the winner of the Oakland, Ore., vs. Roseburg ' series to determine the district championship.

Ron Northey belted two home runs and Andy Sem inick added one with the bases choked to give Oscar Judd a 10-1 early margin. The leiiy faded under Card pressure in the last two rounds and had to call in relief help from Charlie Schanz and Dick Mulligan to save the 10-7 decision. It was the fifth time in 11 meetings the Phils had beaten the Birds who have trimmed Brooklyn nine of 12. On the other hand, the Phils have lost 10 straight to the Dodgers. Fifth From Cincy Brooklyn staggered to a fifth successive setback at Cincinnati, 5-2, their seventh defeat in eight starts on the current west ern tour. Young Hank Behrman appeared to have a 2-1 triumph in his pocket until the Dodger defense collapsed in the four run eighth to give Bucky Wal ters his sixth decision. Eddie Miller's single with the bases loaded actually decided the is sue. Rookie Ralph Kiner sunk the New York Giants with a three run homer and two singles be hind Pittsburgh's Nick Strince vich, 8-5. Mel Ott tried every thing, starting Relief Artist Ken Trinkle and relieving success fully with Red Kress, the 39-year-old coach, and Johnny Gee who hadn't pitched a ball all season. All major league attendance records went by the boards at the Yankee stadium when the New Yorkers lured 30,159 pay ing guests through the turnstiles to boost the season high to 1,510,934. The best previous mark was 1,485.166 attained by the Chicago Cubs in 19Z9 and that for an entire season. Twen ty-six more home dates remain on the stadium calendar includ ing six night games, five Sun days - and Labor Day virtually assuring a final total of over 2,000,000. The daily attendance has averaged 35,975 paid. Rututo SIUM Incidentally the Yanks won two from St. Louis, 3-2 and 8-4 but remained 11 full games be hind Boston which dumped Chi cago twice, 3-1 and 6-1. Most important development of the day to the Yanks was the acci dental "beaning" of Shortstop Phil Rizzuto by Nelson Potter. Rizzuto was carried from the field and spent the night in New York hospital under ob servation. The injury was di agnosed as a concussion, pend ing final X-ray pictures today. Floyd Bevens and Ernie Bon- ham, making his first start since June 30 were the winners. Joe Cronin picked up neat seven-hit mound jobs from Joe Dobson and Dave Ferriss in humbling the Pale Hose. Jimmy Outlaw's 12th inning double enabled Detroit to trim Washington 3-2 for Al Benton's first success since April 18, the second day of the season. The big ex-sailor hurled five innings of hitless relief ball to outpoint Bobo Newsom. Moose Trounces Knights 17-9 Continuing their undefeated record by trouncing the Knights of Columbus 17 to 9 last night on Recreation field, the Moose ran their standings up to three wins in the second half of the men's Softball league. Making 17 runs out of as many hits, the Moose practically clinched the game in the first inning with nine runs'. The KC's managed to hit 10 for nine runs. No home runs were made by the Knights but Moose slugged out five in the game. In the game played at Apple gate field, Veterans of Foreign Wars squeezed over the Elks for their second win of the sea son when they knocked out eight runs to the Elks' seven. VFW scored high during the first innings of the game, which gave them their lead. Sons Drop 12-8 Game To Craters The Medford Jinx seemingly constant plague of Klamath ath letic endeavors held fast to the Klamath Sons last night, and the Craters beat out a 12-8 baseball win over the locals on Medford's lighted fairgrounds diamond. It was the second time this year the Craters have outscored the Sons. Last night's victory for Med ford came in the last half of the eighth. At the start of the frame, Klamath was leading 7-6, but six straight singles and a double off Clyde Carlstrom. plus a Klamath error, chased in six tallies for the Craters. Klamath rallied faintly In the ninth, but only one run came over. Sons Score First The Sons got to Medford Pitch er Steve Crippen for three runs at the outset of the first inn ing, but Medford reversed the position with four in the home half of the opener. Then in the second Klamath again went ahead with two runs, and there the score stood 5-4 until the fifth. At that time the Sons counted twice more while the Craters scored one, and the weird, three hour game appeared to be on ice. Carlstrom pitched the entire game for Klamath, fanning 10 batsmen but being nicked for a full 20 hits, and walked three. Crippen went out after the sec ond inning, and Norm Worthley, the big fellow who was a chief out at the Klamath naval air sta tion and mainstay of the navy's baseball team, took over the pitching. Worthley fanned nine, gave up six hits and walked two. Klam ath committed five errors, Med ford six. He was the winning pitcher. Norm Worthley was also the game's brightest hitter, getting two doubles and a single. Jack Champion, Virgil Swanson and Paul Sutherland each got three hits off Carlstrom. Mario Pisan and Dale Graham got three hits, each off Medford twirlers, and Klamath's other three were di vided between Roy Wheeler, Frannie Miller and Earl Brooks.

Mixed Match Heads Docket Tonight's armory offering in the main event will be a mixed match of judo the Oriental tricks of doing the most damage with the least' effort and or thodox American plan strength rassling. Exemplifying the brute strength style will be Burly Bob Keneston, Gold Hill's fa vorite son and ex-marine ser geant, and on the other side of the fence will be the Chinese sleeper man, Walter "Sneeze" Acheiu. . Theory of this match is that each man will win the fall played with his own particular weapons. The wrestlers will toss a coin to decide who gets first choice of what style will be used, and if Acheiu wins the flip, he'll take judo, and if Ken eston wins, he'll go orthodox. Then, after one fall is accom plished, the next is battled the other style. The third fall will be fought in the manner and at the bidding of the man who grabs the quickest of the first two falls. That match will go without a time limitation two falls out of three. Also slated for tonight is a full length tussle, putting the champ, Georges Dusette, in against Tex Hager for six I rounds, making the bill actually a double main event. The opener, due to go under ! the lights at 8:30, will be be-1 tween Bad Billy McEuin. and i the Mexican boy who made his first showing here two weeks i ago in the title contender elimi nation contest. Rube Gracia. This bout will be limited to four 10-minute heats. Home Run Artist Wins For All-Stars INDIANAPOLIS, July 18 P) Jerry Witte, Toledo's home run hitting first baseman, stole the show in the annual American association all star game last night, hitting three circuit blows to lead the Stars to a 4 to 2 win over Indianapolis.

BUCK and JAMES DONALD BUCK I ffltKDOBTO Hunters Object To Short Deer Season Petitions, which will finally find their way into the hands of the Oregon state game commission, are being circulated among deer hunters here in protest of the proposed shortening of the 1946 deer season. The Klamath Sportsmen's association is buck ing the petitions. And last night the local Izaak Walton league chapter, meet ing at the Willard hotel, went on record as soundly against the compressed season and will Inform the game commission of its opposition. The game commission, in setting up Its tentative fall hunting laws, set the deer season from September 28 to October 20, or 23 days, paring a week off the season last year which run 30 days. One of the reasons advanced move commission employes from the Klamath area and else where to the spots where spe cial open antlcrless and all-deer seasons will probably be set up. The general feeling among the Izaak Waltons is that the game commission has at times advocated that there were too many deer on the range, but then shortens the season, and also that the shortening is in no way a conservation measure, if deer aren't too plentiful, be cause of these special seasons. More Field Danger Also, the sportsmen believe that the shorter season will not curtail hunting, but will com press more hunting into a short er period, thereby increasing the danger to hunters in the field. Paul Winter and possibly Frank McCornack will take the sportsmen's brief to Portland to put before the game commission at a public hearing Saturday, July 27. The tentative rules will not be adopted before then. Another objection to the ten tative laws was in the opening of the elk season in Klamath county, based on the grounds that there are not enough elk in the county to warrant a shooting. L.ast year only three elk were believed reported to the game commission from this county, but more were undoubt edly bagged. Seats Held For Pro Tilt KUHS Coach Ed Ryan has made definite plans to take 30 of his boys up to Bend Friday, August 2, to see an inter-squad football game between players trying out for a berth on the Brooklyn Dodgers of the AU American professional football league. Thirty reserved seats are being held for the Klamath delegation at the Bend stadium. Any boy planning to try out for any of the football teams at the high school next fall, and who would like to see how the professionals play the game, are requested to contact Ryan about making the trip as soon as pos sible. The group will go up on bus, attend the game and come back the same night, and there is a possibility that if enough interest is shown, a second bus may be taken to the game. Boys going up must pay their own expenses except for trans portation, Ryan said, including tickets and meals. Another game will be played August 9, and Ryan said that a group may go up to that one also, if this first game is successful. California ranks next to New York as a consumer of floor and wall tile, accounting for about 15 per cent of total con sumption in the United States.

July 18 (II From a prone position in the Pacific Coast league cellar (down almost as deep as the Philadelphia A's in the American), the Seattle Rainier can claim at least one record. There probably is no club in class AAA baseball to match its revolving roster. They're the rotating Ratnlers. A sports writer checked back on lineups for the season and found that every player who ap peared in one April gume hits fallen off the mcrry-go-round, and that goes for ex-manager Bill Skiff, too. The situation led Sports Editor Royal Brougham, in whimsical mood, to conjure tip this club house scene, with New Manager Jo Jo White speaking: "If all the new players who joined the club since last night will form a line and give their names and positions, I'll try to figure out the butting order for tonight's game. The other night I had the hot dog hustler batting cleanup before discovering he wasn't the new catcher from the International league. Have the pitcher and catcher for tonight's game been introduced? Okay, let's go." FIGHTS LAST S'lfillT Br The A,rlaU4 Press OAKLAND. CalU rrankte Moore. 138. Berkeley, outpointed Al Medrano. 133.
