National League Delegates Resume Discussions Today - NEW YORK. Aug. 2 P) The , National league player-delegates resume their meeting today with the 16 representatives gathering in League President Ford Frick's Office to discuss such previously Mex Scorns Big Series " NEW YORK, Aug. 2 lP) Bernardo Pasquel of .the 'fabu lous Mexican Pasquel brothers, believes .current . owner-player negotiations prove his theory that baseball in the United States is "100 years behind the times." '. i Declining to take any credit for the new deal that baseball is offering- the players in the form of contract reforms, the mustachioed vice president of the Mexican league recalled he had pointed to the sport's "anti quated" methods six months ago. "Why is it that Philadelphia always finishes last?" he de manded. The pennants always go to New York. Boston, St. Louis. Chicago or Brooklyn. We do things different and move the players around 'to make, what you call, Balance. ; Bernardo had just seen the St. ' Louis Cards . and Brooklyn Dodgers fighting for the Nation al" i league pennant. He wasn't impressed. ... -"Our league leader, Tampico, can. Tlay- any : team you have here, he insisted, "and they don't have one big leaguer in their lineup. How can you call your series a real world series? Why, the Mexican fans will just laugh at you. United States champs, yes: World champs, no. Not unless you play Mexico." Ferry Runs Cancelled To Aid Salmon Catch ASTORIA, Ore., Aug. 2 (IP) The state game commission, compromising between letting DeoDle catch fish or the ferry. tentatively ' decided ' to . cancel the last two evening trips be tween' Astoria and Megler,' Wash., from August 4-26. Fishermen, claiming the best fall salmon catches are made from the Columbia river mouth, asked that three evening ferry trips be cancelled between Aug. 1-26 and Sept. 10-17. Riders wanted the ferry to go as usual. The tentative plan would make the last ferry at 8:30 p. m., except pn Saturday nights, which are closed to fishing. of Weyerhaeuser junction untouched topics as clubhouse sanitary conditions, abolishment of doubleheaders following night games, payment of expenses in curred by players who are. sold pr traded and the extension of the post-season exhibition per iod from 10 to 30 days. Other topics due for a thorough going over include the previously passed pension fund plan and the proposal by the Philadelphia Phillies' delegates that all major league clubs have representation at next Monday's meeting with club owners here. .The suggestion for club repre sentation followed soon after the 16-man committee had named Dixie Walker, Brooklyn outfield er; Billy Herman, Boston in- fielder, and Marty Marion, St. Louis shortstop as their delegates at last Monday's meeting. These three were to meet with a trio of American- league players and inree ciud owners of each loop at Monday's session.

Seattle's Best Comes Here ' Seattle's best Softball club, according to Harold Hendrick son, director of the local Softball league, is the Teamsters, named for the Teamsters union of Seattle, but whether or not they will be good enough to defeat the best Softball players in Klamath Falls is a question to be settled this coming Sunday at 1:30 p. m., when the Moose will start things going for the-first half of a doubleheader on Recrea tion field, and the All-Stars will finish them up in the sec ond part. The Seattle ball club boasts five main players who have outstanding records, Hendrickson said. Jack Voelker, first baseman, one of the Voelker brothers, played basketball with the University of Oregon previous to joining the Teamsters, .and both John, Popich, catcher, and Jerry Hawley, second base, have had years of experience with the club. One player, John Penso, shortstop, was with the Seattle Rainiers for some time. Jim Tackett, pitcher, is a windmill twirler. reputedly with a very fast ball, and is known for his strikeouts. The Seattle club was chosen by the local league to be its opponent as some of the Klamath players had formerly played with the plub. BALANCED Like a NEW TIRE!

YOVK CIIEDIT IS HOOK HEIlEt FOR COMPLETE MONARCH TIRE SERVICE Cards Hold Flag Edge Redbirdt Show Power Against Top Rival. By The Associated Press The St. Louis Cardinals old flag system of knocking down their chief rivals which didn't pan out so well last yenr when they licked the Champion Chi cago Cubs 16 to six and still lost the pennant appears to be paying rich dividends as the Redbirds find themselves only a game and a half out of first pluce today. In IS engagements with the National league leading Brook lyn Dodgers, the Redbirds have captured 11 including two out of three in their most recent "crucial" series which ended yesterday with a 3-1 Cardinal triumph. The Cards also hold a 7-4 edge over the third pluce Cubs in the current campaign. As for the Dodgers, yester day was a day they do not care to remember in any shape, form or manner. Not only did they drop the game and the series to their arch-rivals, but lost the services of Pete Reiser tempor arily. Reiser Injured The brilliant outfielder suf fered a "mild concussion" after banging his head against the left field concrete wall in a vain attempt to snare a drive off the bat of Whitcy Kurowski in the fifth inning. He was re moved on a stretcher to the clubhouse thence to the Peck Memorial hosoital where X-rays were to be taken today. The New York Yankees moved back into second place in the American league by de feating the Detroit Tigers 4-2 to forge nine percentage points ahead of the Bengals. Cleveland made it two in a row over the front running Boston Red Sox by edging out Joe Cronin's crew 2-1. Mel Harder gained credit for the victory although he needed help irom jittery joe Berry in the ninth. Browns Swoop Series With Jack Kramer letting Washington down with four hits for his 11th win, the St. Louis Browns lashed out an 8-2 tri umph to sweep the three-game series with the Senators. Despite a grand slam homer by Philadelphia's Pete Slider, the Chicago White Sox outslua- ged the Athletics 7-8 to capture the series, two games to one. Tie Softball Replay Tonight The final game of the regular Softball season will be played tonight on Recreation field be tween Ashley Chevrolcts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, a re-play of a tie tilt .earlier in the season. If the Vets win this game thev will go into the league playoff, but if they lose there will be a three-way tie for the series spot so a pre-playoff will have to be staged to determine the occu pant of the berth. The game tonight will start at 6:15, and be followed by a short meeting by all team man agers to make arrangements of the finals. Salmon River Party Approaches Lewiston LEWISTON, Ida., Aug. 2 UP) Arrival of the 13-member party which started July 16 on the 275-mile trip down the Salmon river from Salmon to Lewiston was awaited here today.

Achelu won the mixed match by chilling Pete for the second fall, but not until after Belcastro had pounded the Chinaman into submission for the first fall and very nearly strangled him with the jackets for the other. Pete caught on to the strangle business fast and was doing all right with it until Achelu got In for a couple of rolls. Then he caught Belcastro sitting down, braced a knee Into his back and looped the jacket around the Weed assassin's throat and the fight was over. Belcastro didn't come back for the third fall. In the oDcncr. Georges Du sette beat Jack Riser two falls out of three. The Cnnndiiin used slams and a press for the first. and Kiser came right back to even tilings up with a sonncn- j DerK, nropKicxs ann a press. i In the fourth round, Dusette muscled out of a Boston crnb and a full nelson bv main strength, then hnndled Kiser like a kid for the deciding fall with a full nelson. Dusette also won the KFLW rassler popularity con test hands down, several hun dred votes over his nearest rival, Joe Lynam, and walked off with his arms full of prizes. The semi-windup went to Mike Nazarian over Tex Hager, the Texan's first defeat since his return north. Nazarian used a nlunging leg strangle for the first tumble, Hager retaliated with leaning head scissors, and for the final Nazarian let Hnger Dile himself on the ropes and hooked the fall with a leg stran gle.

More than 200 swimmers are entered in postwar'! first big splash, but the confusingly namcd Hawaii university swim club, paced by record-smashing Hill Smith, appeared to pack the punch to become one of the first national championship teams from outside continental U. S. Not all of the Hula squad are from Hawaii university; they Includo former university stars who have come to roost In Hono lulu. Backstroke favorite Harry Holiday, ex-Michigan, and breust-stroker Ralph Wright, erstwhile College of Pacific ace, are examples. Smith, of course, Is the 21-year-old son of an lrlsh-born Honolulu policeman who gained most of his swimming prestige at Ohio State.
