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

37 Mile Northwest of Klamath Falls
- to regain the leaa tney nacin i
held all by themselves since
May 19. 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.

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.

York as a consumer of floor

Is Revolving
SEATTLE. 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."
