TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINg fromthi ?iPECM$ ty CimOH HkHNOH THE CITY OP Now York still maintains the World Series Cham ' plnnship, only this year It rests on the other side of town as the Giants Instead of the Yankees are acclaimed the new world cham pions of the diamond sport. Going, back over the series of this year, there are several things that might be blamed lor the fail ure of the Cleveland Indians to keep up the terrific pace they had been setting up to the classic of the sports world. First of all, one might say they choked, like they have done In the past few seasons in a fight for the American League pennant, only this year they held together until they set a new record for wins (111) and had dethroned the Yanks and A! kingpins. After setting this record and win ning the flag, they had achieved what they set out to do, win the American League pennant and whip the Yankees, but what hap pened to their thinking about the World Series and the New York Giants. ANOTHER REASON that many credit to the Indian's downfall was Willie Mays' terrific catch of Vic Wertz's long drive In the first game. There was probably nothing more disheartening to a Cleveland fan (outside of losing the series) than to see Mays haul down the Tribe's first baseman's sure base hit and the game winning blow. Or another reason that has been stated several times Is the differ ence that Dusty Rhodes made in his bid as pinch hitter against the American League champs. Rhodes homered twice, (winning one game for sure and probably would have accounted for another with his sec ond circuit smash) and then tied a series record of pinch hits, by driving out a two run single in the third game that seemed to break the back of the hapless In dians. ' Of course some have given the lion's share of the credit to Hank Thompson for his game saving plavs at third base or to Alvin Dark, the Giants' team captain for his tremendous play, while others say Marv Grissom or John ny Antonelli meant the difference tc the New Yorkers. ' These are all basic and sound reasons, but there is another pos sible solution and this is the way we stand on the outcome of the 1954 World Series: The Giants were a far better ball club than the Indians. Why? BECAUSE THEY HAD a better well-rounded team, from the catch ing department to the deepest spot In the outfield. Take Rhodes for Instance, if he had of been on the Cleveland roster, chances are he vould be their number one or two outfielder with Larry Doby, Cleveland's big three had a very good record for Season 'play, but Grissom, Antonelli, Ruben Gomez and Hoyt Wilhelm, not to mention Sal Maglie or Don Llddle bore down in the clinches when they were needed the most. The infield play of the Giants sparkled brightly over that of the Indians, as Whitey Lockman, Davey Williams, Dark and Thompson all played bang up ball. While Mays, Monte Irvln and Don Mueller were all handy when the pitchers needed them the most In the outfield. Again we say, the Indians didn't exactly fold they Just met a far superior team that played ball best with the chips down.

Milwaukee Pitcher Signs Hoop Contract BOSTON IA Boston Celtics basketball coach Red Auerbach Is delighted to officially welcome Gene Conley, the Milwaukee Braves pitcher, into his corner of the NBA fold. Conley Monday signed a cofr tract for an undisclosed sum of money for the coming season. The 6-foot, 8-inch star who played 39 games for the Celtics two years ago is slated to spell Ed MaCau ley at center. "Gene's a confident shooter, ex cellent rebounder and only needs a little polishing on defense, Auerbach says. ''We're only Interested In Gene's basketball work and are not tak ing him on because his baseballlng will help us at the gate. He can play basketball." Conley had a 14-9 record with the Braves this season In compil ing a 2.94 earned run average fourth best in the National League.

AL Faced With Problems ' Bv GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (fll The American League only thought It had trouble when It met here a week ago to try to breathe life back into the Philadelphia Athletics. No one can estimate how long it will take the younger circuit to recover fully from the debacle of the World Series. It was known, of course, that President Will Harridge's league, after seven straight years of dom inance, had become badly over balanced at the top and seriously needed to do something about the five weak sisters In it's "second division." Until the Giants went to work on Cleveland's Ill-game win ners, the extent to which the en tire league had deteriorated was not fully appreciated. Let us put It this way: In the third playoff game at Cleveland, when Hank Majeskl substituted at third base for ailing Al Rosen, the champions of the American League were playing men at third, shortstop, first base and in right field who could not among them win a regular Job on any club in the National League. An official of the eighth-place Pittsburgh Pi rates said he couldn't use any of them, and that should be fairly conclusive. So what does this portend the sad showing-up of a club which had broken even with the Yankees and Chicago White Sox over the regular season while slaughtering its lesser league rivals? A National League figure, not connected with the Giants, who was doing some celebrating after the final game, saia mis: Every team in our league will feel the difference at the gate. Take New York, which has some thing like 50,000 visitors everv dav of the season. A lot of those people want to see a big league game, and a big majority of them have oeen going to Yankee Stadium. Now they'll want to go to the Polo Orounds to watch Willie Mavs. Johnny Antonelli, Alvin Dark and Hank Thompson. 'We'll all feel It when we nlav there, and we'll feel It in our home parks too, because our fans will know they are looking at the best. If there was any question about mose leiiows getting the Athletic out of Philadelphia there won't be any now. The Phi es' home at. tendance should Jump a quarter. munon easily." U.S. Davis Cuppers Trio Mexico MEXICO CITY 11 - The United States Davis Cup players can start planning for the long trip to Aus. trails now that thev have elim- lnated Mexico. But they'll need to produce a better brand of tennis to get past Sweden and into the challenge round against Australia. The Inter-none finals will be played ut Brisbane Dec. 17-19 with the winner challenging the Aus- sies for the coveted International Trophy Dec. 29-31 at Sydney. Vic Selxas of Philadelphia, TT.S. singles champion, and Tonv Tr bert of Cincinnati, 1953 national titleholder, combined to defeat Mexico 4-1 In the North American Zone finals. But they had some bad moments before wrapping up the expected triumph. . Selxas, far off his game when he lost to veteran Gustavo Pala fox Saturday, clinched the series Monday with a 6-4, 2-6. 6-3, 6-2 triumph over the little 31-year-old Mexican railway clerk, Mario Llamas. , Trabert, who defeated Damns In straight sets and teamed with Selxas to take the doubles Sun day, also had his troubles with the crafty Palafox before winning 14 12, 6-1, 6-2.

Los Angeles Accused Of Dirty Play SAN FRANCISCO (IP) Tony Mo rabito, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, accuses Los Angeles' pro fessional Rams of "dirty football" and warns: "If that's the kind of football they want, that's what they'll get." Moraoito spoke out fo lowine S u n d a y's dramatic 24-24 tie be tween the two clubs In Los Angel es and with three kev 49ers In jured, two so severely they may oe out for tne season. Ram Coach Hampton Pool vie. ously denied Morabito's charges. Morabito's charge came only a week after Bert Bell, commissioner of the National Football League, rapped the Rams for unsportsman like behavior for using an old fashioned sleeper pass play fo start their 48-0 rout of the Bal timore Colts In Baltimore Sept. 26 Bell said any similar Incident would bring an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Fool dented sleeper Skeet Quln, lan was Illegally hidden out ot Baltimore. Of Morabito's charge, he told the Southern California Football Writers Assn. yesterday: , "I didn't see anything bordering on dirty football. I think Morabito's statement was- due to his strong disappointment over the tie. Other, wise he wouldn't have made it." Pool, who also had one player Injured, said he talked to 49er Coach Buck Shaw and his assist ants after the game "and they made no mention that they thought the game was dirty." Morablto and 49er Captain Bru no Banduccl took a much different view, however. "I never saw a dirtier bunch of guys In my life," said Banduccl. "The next time we play them, we'll eat nails before the game, not to get rougher, but to get dirtier." The two teams meet In San Fran cisco Nov. 7.

When wa were considering the probable outcome of the Army South Carolina game recently, and my figures pointed to Army over whelmingly, Dr. Zlobotny brought me up to a short halt with a brusque question: "Amos, have you considered the effects of the hydrogen bomb tests in the Pacific?" I blushed. Kaff-kaffl There are so many factors that go Into our forecasts that I forget a few some times. But I quickly computed the effects of radiation, ash and fall out, and put down South Carolina. We were the only forecasters this side of Suez who picked Army to lose. Heh-hehl Hydrogen blasts and resultant radiation have a profound Influence on this week's predictions too, kind folk.

"There's a lot of things I have to learn," said Mays Monday after receiving permission to play with the Santurce club. And this from the Notional League batting cham pion who made "THE" catch of the World Series in snagging Vic Wertz's 460-foot fly at the Polo Grounds in the first game. Mays will be right at home for Santurce will be managed by Her man Franks, a Giants' coach, and pitcher Ruben Gomez, who won the third game of the series, will be one of his teammates. t Willie, however, will not have a chance to get over-worked since the Puerto Rlcun League schedule calls for only three games a week.

According to reports, Donald Le roy Patton, 20, of Olene was arrest ed October 2 near Stukel Mountain for failure to tag his deer. Patton pleaded guilty and was fined $75.

Also fined $29.00 at Bly Justice Court for fail ure to tag venison was Rene Leroy Bounds, of Ashland. A fine of $50 was levied against Thomas Melva Davis, 32, of Gold Hill, who pleaded guilty to the charge of having possession of un tagged venison meat.

The largest fine, $350, was levied on a 66-year-old Fort Klamath man, Enrl Milton Jackson, for posses sion of improperly tagged' deer and transfer of deer tags. The game violation also brought about the confiscation of Jackson's deer and tags. Lulu Perez Likes Fighting In Heavier Class NEW YORK Ufi From now on It's the lightweights for Lulu Perez, the little fancy Dan boxer from Brooklyn. The 21-year-old speed demon cast aside his No. 6 ranking among the featherweights after defeating Bobby Woods, the babyfaced light' weight from Spokane, at Eastern Parkway arena last night for his second straight victory in the heav ler division. Next on Lulu's agenda is a Nov. 26 meeting in Madison Square Garden with Frankle Ryff, un beaten and ninth-ranking light weight contender from Peres's own neighborhood.

In the other network television bout of the night, Moses Ward, hard-hitting Detroit middleweight, floored Billy Kilgore twice en route lo a unanimous 10-round decision at the St. Nicholas Arena.
