Aufpist 20, 1033 THE KLAMATH NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE TWO Sporting News Ted Thye Still a Sportsman Veteran W r e 1 1 e r Pause to Expresa Regrets Over Legion Hall Accident New York Yanks Hit Down-grade. Shaw Bertram Wants Game With Stars. 1 It's difficult to believe -there ts sportsmanship left in the wrestling profession. The spectacle of rough and tum ble action and the subordi. a tloa ot science leaves little opportunity for fair play. Bnt Ted Thye, parti.' tint In this ram for mors tbsn It years, hasn't forgotten the spirit ot sport. Fridry night Thye, appearing here in a semi-windup. flipped a yonngster, Everett Kibbons. outside the ring; the accident may keep Kibbons out ot the came for several weeks with a twisted ankle. Wrestlers are thrown from the ring in every mstch, but it's not often a winner pauses long enough to make apolo gies. Thye Friday night re turned to the ring, made a short speech describing the accident and his own regrets and let the world know the wrestling business had not gone to pot completely. It didn't make much differ ence to this Fortlsnder, an ex-light heavyweight cl-im-pion of the world, whether or not Kibbons was injured. Thye, still a very capable wrestler, no longer has the ambition ot a decade ago. He wrestles now for moner and not for championships. His career la nearly over and a broken ankle could have no result upon his status la the profession. Thye has always been an ag gressive athlete, eager to win aa quickly as possible. Vic tory, however, haa little satis faction when It comes after an injury to an opponent. This big man from Portland no longer is an athlete title holder, bnt he comes close as the champion ot sportsman ship. e M has keen said often that 1 the New York Yankees, the most colorfnl combinstion in the history ot baseball, have started down hill. Youth has gone tTom the trio of base-hitting outfielders, the Infield has lost the sest and the major league fans have grown tired ot the same feces. . Colonel Rupert, like Connie V Hack ot the Philadelphia Ath letics, will find It expedient to break np the ancient cham pions and start anew. Gate receipts and the success ot other teams In the Amerlcsn League demand changes in the Yankee lineup. Babe Ruth and his "gang" eaa quit at the end of the Tear still the heroes of mod ern baseball. Tomorrow they will be Just vanishing stars, e e The Klamath AU-8tars and the Shaw Bertram team, the only basebsll outfits for ma jor proportions still In Klam ath county competition, have an argument to settle before ts season is over. Both teams claim county supremacy. Apparently a Fair ground! series would definite ly decide the contentions.

GIANTS BUILD UP FIVE-GAME LEAD IN NATIONAL LEAGUE; HARD WEEKS OF PUY AHEAD By HUGH 8. FVLLERTOX. JR. Associated Press Sports' Writer The New York Giants, having painstakingly built up a five game lead In the National league pennant struggle snd having convinced a majority ot the tans that they are "the" team ot the circuit this season, are about to put their pretensions to the acid test. In the next couple of weeks, beginning with the game sssinst the Chicago Cubs. the. Giants have to take all the other pen nant contenders. Chicago, Pitts burgh, St. Louis and Boston, In rapid succession. When tbat siege Is over, they can be defin itely catalogued as either a champion ball club or just a bunch ot players who went a lot further than expected. Red Beaten Again The Giants knocked oft the lowly Cinciunsti Reds for the third straight time, 4 to 1, add ing a half game to their margin over Pittsburgh, which was idle. They rapped Red Lucas' pitch ing at right moments, flnls'ing with Johnny Verges' 13th hom er, while Fred Fitsslmmons scat tered Cincinnati's ten hits ex pertly. Saturday they were to open against the third place clubs who, tar from being "softened" In their series with I Boston Braves, came back to win the last game. 4 to S.

But the Cleveland Indians tossed In a little added interest by captur ing third place from Philadel phia's Athletics by a single per centage point. The Indians turned back the Boston Red Sox 1 to 1 on the strength of Mel Harder's five bit pitching. The Dnlt ...era shoved the Philadelphia Athle tics down with a 7 to triumph. Jimmle Fon's J6th home run an Mickey Cochrsnes 11th kept the A'l In the game. The Yankees had a big Inn ing and a big scare as they defeated the St. Louis Browns I to 3 to square tbeir series. They cut loose with all kinds ot hitting against Wally Hebert and Hank McDonald In the fourth, batted around a lit tle more and scored all eight runs. But as Babe Ruth came up for the second time, he was struck on the leg by one of Mc Donald's pitches and rendered temporarily hors de combat. At first there were visions of a broken leg but It was soon found to be nothing worse then a painful bruise. Ruth left the game but he was expected to be In there again Saturday. the standings reveal them?" 'Our club Is made up of sea soned ball players, with ability, plus spirit." Joe testified. "They have the Inspiration to win and the ability to do It. Then, on top of that, they are unselfish. By that I mean, every guy Ia pulling for the other guy. They want to win ball games, and they don't care whether It's the second base man or the center fielder who supplies the winning punch." "Joe, tell us something about each of your regulars."

VP) Here'a encouraging news for the Washington Senators, If they need any encouragement, and another sock tor the staggering Yankees, seven and a half games behind at the start ot ths final drive for the American League flag. The home folk, experts and common people alike, have "given up" on Babe Huth and hla bruised partners. They've started breaking up tor Colonel Jacob Ituppert and manager Joe McCarthy the club they saw sail through the league last aeason and top off a common gallop with four atrulght world series victories over the Cuba, Yanks' UK) King Old. j They're busting up the old murderers' row, selling players buying new ones, getting ready for next season. It will be jut as well, probably. It the Colonel and Joe do not hear about It. But here's a croas section ot a discussion a herein sat bsae- ball men of an official status, and a couple of fellows who have to pay to get In. "The Yanks not only are old the Babe's edging 40 but they look older. They've plsyed together too long. Ambition dulls with close contact among players year after year. They take themselves, their surround ings, their Jobs for granted. That's why old ball players. trsded to new scenes, new com petition, take on a iresn leaae on life." That was a man who knows the players well. Pitchers Fall. "Actually the Yanks owe this year's failure entirely to pitch ing. Uomei. Allen, Ruffing. Brown, MacFayden, Moore, all have flopped. The hitters bd tried hard and often to keep the team up there. Did you ever go up there with the bases full knowing you had to triplet Tha Inflelders have' to throw out every runner. The result Is pres sure every play, every game So the Yanks blew. Any team would. Tbat was an expert who sees them play every day. Baer Crashes Into Garbo's Private Set HOLLYWOOD. Calif., Aug.
