Cardinals Pant Behind Dodgers By Th Associated Prtu Tlic St. Louis Cardinals once more are breathing on the necks If the National League Leading Brooklyn Dodgers, principally tecause of the prodigious stickwork of their great one-two punch, Btan Musial and Enos Slaughter. Led by these thumping twins, the runner-up Cards swept both inds of a double header from the Cincinnati Reds 15-4 and 7-3 yesterday to advance within a half-game of the Dodgers, who lost iwice to their erstwhile cousins," the Philadelphia Phillies. Musial and Slaughter, who between them lead the National league hitters In six of the eight major offensive departments en joyed one of their best batting days of the season, with Musial letting eight hits in 10 times at bat and Slaughter six in nine. Te Reds staged a batting display of their own in the eighth Inning of the opener, tying a Major league record when Grady Hatton, Ray Mueller and Max West hit successive home runs. But by that time Murry Dickson, stocky Cardinal righthander, was far out In front, and he coasted to his 11th victory. Johnny . Beazley scattered six hits in t.llBPIGlD By HALE SCARBROUGH Sit and Whittle The man who has been sitting and whittling in the doorway of Matt Finnigan's store for the past leveral days is Carr E. Payne, one of the world's f o r e n o s t artists with a pen knife. Sitting in front of some place whittling is the way he has been mak ing his living For a good number of years, and with in ordinary pocket knife and a sharpened nail Payne turns out carved work that people come a long way to see and pay good money to possess. Hp has been makine decorative show pieces out of plain finished i gun stocks here for several days ; and his seat in front of the store mk has not only kept a crowd of 1 ner, went down to his fifth de admirers around his work box teat when the Chicago White but has brought him all the carv ing jobs he can do. Payne is here in transit, fol lowing moderate temperatures. He stays here a few days works earned a split with the St. Louis over a few gun stocks and moves, browns winning the second on to another town and another game 4 ,0 3 ater the Browns stand of carving. j i,ad won tne opener 3 to 2. Some 64 years old now, Payne The cellar-dwelling Pitts has scattered his chips over a , burgh Pirates overcame a 9 to good portion of the earth in traveling around the world three times on his pen knife. He is at home in California. Payne can put just about any thing anyone wants on a shotgun or rifle stock, any kind of animal or bird in any kind of pose, plus initials and floral decorations. For a carving job he charges $15 to $35 or more, depending on how tedious or involved the job is. Deer, bear, elk, cougar, ducks, geese in stock poses are simple. He has a notebook with hand- drawn illustrations to choose from. One of the more complicated is a cougar clawing on the back of a frightened deer. Of the leafy designs, roses are not so hard, Payne says, but oak leaf and acorn designs are harder to work and therefore more ex pensive. Although carved gun stocks are a good source of cash for Payne, he can whittle a design into anything. His most famous piece of work was a cane he made for the late President Roosevelt back in 1933. The de sign was a rose vine circling the cane 13 times for the 13 original colonies, 32 leaves bearing the names of the 32 presidents from GW to FDR, and 46 roses, one for each state. Also there was a carved flag and great seal on the handle. A recent bit of pocket knife sculpture turned out by Payne was a World War II memorial for Santa Ana, Calif., high school. Tickets for this fall's Pelican football games will be coming off the press in a few days and j season tickets will be on sale by "the first of September. Ducats this year will go for the same prices as last season, $1.10 for reserved, 90 cents general ad mission and 40 cents for students. The scheduled broadcast of the Klamath Sons-Mt. Shasta base ball game over KFLW yesterday afternoon did not come off be cause the Shasta ball park was not provided with any power to run a transmitter. Smooth fly casting can be mas tered by learning one rule. On the back cast, do not let the rod go further than straight up.

Shasta town team 27-1 at Ml. Shasta. The Packers took off early on Alturas, getting (our runs in three innings before the Tigers counted one. By the end of the tilth frame the Packers had chased across seven runs. In the top of the sixth Alturas rallied for three runs when Hairy Rich ling was walked. Am Heron amous walked, Harry Baxter singled and Ervin Forest tripled. Then in the seventh two runs scored on an overthrow, a walk and a long fly, and the score was tied. Jimmie West, starting pitcher for the Packers, was relieved by Byron Cody with the score tied. In the eighth for Klamath on consecutive singles by Virgil Horn and Ed Edwards and a Tiger error the winning tally came across. It was a sloppy-fielding game for both teams and the earned run tally snowed three lor Klamath, none for Alturas. The Packers committed seven bob bles, the Tigers two. West, in the seven innings he toiled, gave up five hits, struck out nine and walked five. Down at Mt. Shasta the Sons pounced on five Shasta pitchers for 27 hits good for 27 runs for their 13th Northern California league win. Included in the bliz zard of basehits were homers by Frannie Miller, Hi Hatfield, Clyde Carlstrom and Bart Gol bar. ' Carlstrom did the hurling for Klamath and allowed only four hits. He was relieved by Earl Brooks in the ninth. Portland Junior Team Unbeaten GREAT FALLS.

Gene Stranahan Taken To Extra Holes Before Edging Ward DULUTH, Minn., Aujs. 12 (&) Frank Stranahan of Toledo, O., who "played badly and putted well" in his last two extra-hole matches to win the western am- ateur golf championship, today looked for new laurels to add to his growing list, starting with the Toledo district amateur tour ney. Stranahan yesterday captured the western amateur title in a par-fracturing, knockdown, 38 hole battle with Marvin "Bud" Ward of Spokane, winner of the western title in 1940 and 1941 and national amateur titlcholder in 1939 and 1941. The Tolcdoan won the Kansa City invitational tourney this year, besides being low amateur in the recent St. Paul open. Stranahan and Ward set right out on their par smashing tour of the Northland Country club course. - Ward was the first to go under par, getting a birdie i three on the third hole. From then on it was a case of match par or better or lose the hole for both of them. Birdies were common on the long cards with Stranahan count ing five on the morning round and five more on the afternoon. In the morning, Stranahan had one hole on which he was over par, while in the afternoon round he was over on two holes. Ward matched his opponents birdie pace on the morning round, get- ung live, ana also icu on on one hole for a bogey. In the afternoon Ward had four birdies, an eagle and three bogcyi holes. In the extra holes, Stran ahan matched par fours while Ward went one over on the 38th GUNS AH types of domestic guns wanted. Top prices paid.
