WHITE SOX
TO WIN RAG,
CLAIM NOW
CHICAGO, June 26 —W— Man
ager Paul Richards assured Chica
go's pennant-starved White Sox
fans today that his American league
leaders will never quit — and bj
that he means there is no bubblt
that’s going to break.
With the midway mark in the
season approaching, Richards woulo
like to see the Sox in the lead July
4. that traditional date on which
the tup club theoretically become
the one to beat for the pennant.
Returning home with an even
break in 16 road games, the White
Sox have not fully been accepted
in that category — opposing man
agers just can’t believe they’re that
good.
They have held the lead since
May 28, but now are only one game
in front whereas they were 2'- be
fore starting east two weeks ago.
Upwards of 40.000 customers
given warmer weather, are expected
to pile into Comiskey Park tonight
as the Sox open a nine-game home
stand against western clubs.
"If there is one thing of which I
am certain,” says Richards, "the
White Sox don’t know the meaning
f the word ‘quit’.”
26 DIKING CLUB
MEMBERS ENJOY ’
TAKU WEEKEND
Gy way of announcing the com
ir.g marriage of Carolyn Hoff and
Carl Jensen, Royal O’Reilly invited
the couple to take over the Honey
moon Cottage at Taku Lodge on
their next trip there.
The occasion was at dinner at
the Lodge when 26 members of the
Ship, Shank and Shutter Club
made a weekend trip there Satur
day.
Some of the hiking club members
arrived at the Lodge Saturday eve
ning on the Alaska Coastal planes
that returned the visiting Hawaiian
group to Juneau. Some went to the
lodge Saturday morning by the
river boat Redwing. Saturday eve
ning was given over to music by
the O'Reillys and dancing by the;
hikers.
On Sunday some went hiking to
try out the newly-cut Forest Ser
vice trail parallelling the river and
others took a river trip to Louie
DcFlorian’s place where the Alaska
Department of Fisheries is tagging
salmon caught by a fish wheel.
The “Shutter" name in the club's |
nomer is not idle. Upon seeing two
sticks that seemingly had a direc
tion against the eyrrent, cameras
were alerted. They proved to be
the antlers of a young bull moose
that swam to shore. Twenty shut
ters clicked. For many it was their
first moose on film.
The fishing members of the party
caught several trout and all de
clared they had a "wonderful time,”
