Tickets Selling For
7th Series Game
(By JACK HAND)
ST. LOUIS. (/P)—Sam Breadon
is selling tickets today for a sev
enth world series game at Sports
man's park because his St. Louis
Cardinals have as many lives as a
Cat—Harry “The Cat” Brecheen.
If it weren’t for the game little
lefthander from Oklahoma, the
Boston Red Sox wodld have been
measured for series rings long ago
end the Red Birds would be scat
tered to the four winds instead of
planning strategy for tomorrow’s
finale.
In the cold light of dawn there
is room for a solid suspicion that
“The Cat” and the Cards spent
their last life in a 4-1 win yester
day. The Sox have Dave (Boo)
Ferriss, their 25-game winner,
primed for a second straight shut
out bid and there is no reason to
believe he won’t be just as effec- (
i
tive as he was in Boston.
The odds definitely are against |
the home club but that’s nothing j
new. Coming from behind and up-1
setting the dope has been a habit!
with Eddie Dyer and his St. Louis |
team ever since mid-season when
they trailed Brooklyn by 7Vt> j
games and eventually won the
flag in a playoff.
All through this series, it has
been the same story: lose today
and then scramble to get it back
by winning tomorrow. They’re
fresh out of ball games now and
there will be no further come
backs. This is it.
After Howie Pollett dropped the
opener, Brecheen shut out Boston.

Cards needed their second life
but George Munger and a 20-hit
barrage squared matters.
Poised on the brink of elimina
tion after dropping behind 3-2 in
games at Fenway Park, Brecheen
took the Cards by the scruff of
their necks and lifted them back
into the scramble, all even at
three games each.
Fate plays strange tricks on
ball clubs and managers and now
with the world championship
hanging in the balance, Joe Cron
in finals falls back on Ferriss who
didn’t get a chance until the third
game. Dyer must use Dickson, a
wiry fellow who worked on relief
and wasn’t a “starter” until June
9.
An extra day of rest will benefit
the Cards more than the Sox for
the American League champs had
done little more than wait since
Sept. 13 when they clinched the
pennant. Their problem has been
to regain the fine edge they held
in mid-season and they haven’t
done it yet.

spector at Seattle and President
1 of the PAA Recreation Club, left

I presented with a big brief case, a
I travel kit and the best wishes of
all the Alaska Regionnaires.
Taking over in Dick’s spot as
Chief Inspector in Seattle is Clyde
Smith, who has been assisting
Dick there for the past several
months. Both Ortman and Smith
are formerly of Nome, and were

engine Douglas DC-4 Starliners.
Carrying 44 passengers in luxurious
comfort, or nine tons of freight at better

liners will bring new concepts of air trans
port to the Territory. They will enhance
our reputation for dependability built up
over the years by the tried and true equip
ment which has served bush and city so
long and so well.

Krug Seeks Action
On Statehood
SEATTLE, (/P) — Secretary of
the Interior Krug, on a Pacific1
Coast trip and his third visit here
in a year, said in an interview
Saturday he planned to join Gov-:
ernor Greuning of Alaska in seek
ing action by “appropriate Con
gressional committees to bring
Statehood to Alaska.”
He indicated reluctance, how-1
ever, toward relinquishment of
his department’s jurisdiction over 1
the Territory’s huge salmon indus
try.
Krug said he believed that if,
Alaska is given statehood it shouldi
be accorded the same jurisdiction
rights over its fisheries and min-1
eral resources as those of the
western states with the exception;
of the salmon industry.
Decisions on that industry, he
said, should await final reports of |
a special congressional committee,
headed by Henry M. Jackson, be
cause the scope of its operations i
and huge investments involved.

President” told a ne\Vs confer-'
ence:
“The only atomic bombs ever
[ outside of the United States were
I those used in the Bikini test and
those dropped on Japan.”

is untrue.”
