SPORTS
ROUNDUP
(By Allan Merritt)
ST. LOUIS, (JP) — If the St.
Louis Cardinals repeat by coming
from behind to snatch the National
League pennant from the Brooklyn
Dodgers, all the howls that go up
in Mound City won’t be for joy.
Last fall after the Cardinal
Dodger pennant playoff there was
considerable hue and cry over the
fact that only about 12,000 re
served seat world series tickets
were left for sale to the general
public for the game at Sportsmans
Park. This time, unless it devel
ops that such speculation is en
tirely unnecessary, only about
8.600 will be left for John Q. Pub
lic.
Main reason for this situation
is that the Cardinals have sold
some 20,000 ticket books this sea
son, about double the number
sold in 1946. Each holder of two
of these books is entitled to a set
of world series tickets if the Red
birds win.
Cardinal manager Eddie* Dyer’s
prediction that the pennant chase
would end in another bruising
battle between the world cham
pions and their old Brooklyn foes,
with Boston and New York close
behind, is remarkable in that he
made it early last June when the
Redbirds were giving their all to
get out of the loop’s dungeon.
Dyer’s faith in the club doesn’t
change with the standings, and his

\ Police chief George ^Norton said

Warns Soviet
U. S. Can Launch
Atomic Warfare
SEATTLE, </P) — Soviet Russia
had grim warning yesterday from
one of its former staunch friends.
Commerce Secretary W. Avarell
Harriman, that the ties of the
world still hold the trump card of
atomic retaliation against aggres
sion.
In an important policy speech
cleared in advance by the State
Department in Washington, the
cabinet officer flatly declared
Monday night that "Soviet im
perialism” is a menace to the peace
of the world.
Then with grave and pointed
emphasis he said:
"In this atomic age there is no
protection against retaliation by
air. Our ability to launch an imme
diate strong aerial retaliation is
the greatest possible deterrent
against the use of military force
by others.”
Harriman’s publicly-announced
stand is a direct about face from
his attitude at the time he was am
bassador to Russia. Then he hoped
cooperation with the Soviet Union
would bring a long period of
peaceful readjustment after the
wartorn years.
Canadian Railroad
May Be Extended
Into Alaska
SEATTLE, </P)—Canada’s trans
continental railroads now appear
highly receptive toward joint ac
quisition of the Pacific Great
Eastern Railroad and its extension
into the Peace River area, E. C.
Carson, British Columbia minister
of public works, said Monday at
the Pacific Northwest Trade Asso
ciation meeting.
Carson said the railway, owned
by the British Columbia govern
ment. is an ideal instrument to
protect Alaska, and predicted its
eventual extension to the Terri
tory.
The line runs from Squamish
on Howe Sound, 40 miles north o!
Vancouver, 347 miles to Quesnell,
B. C.
The minister was one of several
speakers to touch on Alaska dur
ing the first day of the associa
tion’s two-day meeting.
George Sundborg, former gen
eral manager of the Alaska Devel
i opment Board, predicted that
I Alaska will shortly be capable of

Army Identifies
Slain Soldier
ANCHORAGE, ifi>) — Military
authorities yesterday identified
Pvt. Ronald Dennis Patterson, 18,
of Adrian, Mich., as the Fort
Richardson soldier who was slain
early Saturday in a shooting inci
dent at the Post.
An Anchorage taxi driver, Bert
ram C. Rick, shot in the stomach
du, :ng the incident, was said by
army surgeons to have a “very
good" chance at recovery.
Maj. Leonard A. Olson, provost
marshal, said Rick told him the
shooting occurred when he fought
to wrest a German mauser from
the soldier.

cent of the Japanese population.
American market.
He said also that Alaskans want
Canadian ships given the right to
haul freight to and from and be
tween Alaskan ports, a procedure
now forbidden by federal law.
Numerous speakers attributed
Alaska’s present shipping delays
and problems to labor controver
sies which are not solvable, they
said, without approval of Harry
Bridges.
