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

ASTORIA, Ore., Aug. 2 (IP)
The state game commission,
compromising between letting

tentatively ' decided ' to . cancel
the last two evening trips be

Fishermen, claiming the best

asked that three evening ferry

wanted the ferry to go as usual.
The tentative plan would
make the last ferry at 8:30 p. m.,

of doubleheaders following night

the post-season exhibition per

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

16-man committee had named
Dixie Walker, Brooklyn outfield

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

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.

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.

Hawaii Aquatic Start
Favored At Man's AAU
SAN DIKC.O, Aug. 3 (V) A
powerful 12-uuin squad from
Hawaii ruled the strong favorite
to capture the National AAA
senior men's outdoor swimming
moot, opening a three-day stand
today.
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. The stocky Smith,
claimant to world's records in
the 200. 400 and 800-meter
races, has his eye on the 100
meters this weekend. A few
weeks ago, ho bettered by a
fifth Johnny Weismuller's long
time standard of :57.8 seconds.
The "battle of the century,"
slated for Sundov. probably wi'l
involve Smith, Hllo lllrose, Al
berto Isaacs of Mexico, Jenv
Kerschener of Indiana and Bob
Anderson of Stanford.
International flavor has been
added with the entry of teams
from Mexico and Cuba.
Smith will rule a strong
choice in the 200- and 400-meter
events, with the 15-year-old
wonder kid, Jimmy McLane of
Akron, O., ruled the one to bent
in the 800 and 1500-meter dis
tance races.

In three fights, Miller Is un
