RAINERS
BEAT UP
ON PADRES
By Associated Press
Joe Gordon’s heavy-hitting Sacra
mento Solons have blasted their
way into a first place tie with Port
land, in the Pacific Coast League
standing.
The Sacs bunched nine hits for
a 7 to 3 victory over Portland last
night as 10,257 Sacramento fans
cheered them on. Manager Joe Gor
don and Bob Gillespie, starting
pitcher, were ejected from the con
test in the sixth for arguing with
Umpire Lou Barbour on the call of
a fourth ball that forced in a Bea
ver run.
Red Adams, Portland pitcher who
held the Sacs scoreless from the
second inning through the sixth, lost
his stuff in the seventh. Sacra
mento then put across five runs.
There were two nifty pitching per
formances elsewhere in the league
Los Angeles shut out San Francisco,
1 to 0, and Seattle whitewashed San
Diego, 3 to 0. A three-run homer
by Earl Rapp highlighted a five-run
rally in the seventh as Oakland pow
ered to an 8 to 3 victory over Holly
wood.
Marv Grissom notched his eighth
victory as he limited San Diego to
three scattered hits while Seattle
was getting 10 off Guy Fletcher, the
one-time Seattleite San Diego ac
quired from San Francisco.
Grissom whiffed eight Padres and
never was in trouble. Jim Rivera’s
double in the first inning provided
the winning run, scoring Jackie Al
bright, who had singled. Rivera
homered in the seventh.

of Anchorage, Alaska.
Men who are proud of their 190
plus averages will have to give way

And how about that 85-year-old
Roma Scott?

joined a men’s squad when her lads
teammates failed to arrive. Ther
she showed up the males with t

300TH HOMER
IS SWATTED
BY WILLIAMS
By Associated Press
Ted Williams cracked his 300th
home run. Only nine others had ac
complished this feat.
Ewell Blackwell and Vern Bick
ford hooked up in a brilliant pitch
ing duel that produced only three
hits in the Cincinnati-Boston game.
Blackwell allowed one hi* to win,
1-0. Only twice before in the last
50 years have there been games in
which fewer hits were made.
Yet, these exploits had to take
a back seat yesterday to a bizarre
stunt pulled by a rookie manager
who once was billed as the “switch
hitting, ambidextrous pitcher from
Waxahachie" (Texas).
This is now Paul Rapier Richards,
in his first year as leader of Chicago
White Sox, stole the baseball thun
der.
With his team leading the Red
Sox, 7-6, and southpaw swinging
Ted Williams leading off for Boston
in the last half of the ninth, he re
placed Righthander Harry Dorish
with Lefty Billy Pierce. But Dorish
did not go to the bench. Instead,
Richards benched Third Baseman
Orestes Minoso and moved Pitcher
Dorish there. Pierce got Williams
on a high pop up fly to the shortstop
behind second. Richards then re
turned Dorish to the mound, Pierce
back to the bench and sent Floyd
Baker to third.
The Red Sox got their tying run
anyway, but the White Sox won in
the 11th when Nelson Fox poled a
two-run homer for 9-7 triumph.
Williams' 300th and seventh homer
of the season came in the fourth.
Babe Ruth once left the mound
for right field for one batter, then
returned. He was pitching for the
Red Sox.
Blackwell threw a one-hitter in
one of the tightest pitching battles
ever waged. Bickford, the loser, al
lowed only two hits. The two right
handers, shooting for their second
big league no-hitters, went into the
eighth before Bob Elliott doubled
off Blackwell for the first hit of the
game. ;
Bickford surrendered his first hit:
in the sixth — a double by Connie
Ryan. Cincinnatti’s second hit won
the game. It was a home fun by
Catcher John Pramesa.
Blackwell pitched a pair of one
hitters last year.
The major league record for the
fewest hits made by both teams in
one game is two.
The New York Giants dropped a
7-3 decision to Bill Werle and the
Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Brooklyn strengthened its first
place hold with an 8-4 victory over
the Cubs in Chicago. Two homers
by Gil Hodges, a grand slammer by
Duke Snider and another round
tripper by Jackie Robinson account
ed for all_ but one of Brooklyn’s
runs.
A pinch single by Bill Nicholson
with the bases loaded in the ninth
gave the Philadelphia Phils two
runs and a 5-4 victory over the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Detroit handed Sandy Consuegra
his first loss as the Tigers pounded
out 14 hits for a 12-4 victory over
Washington.
The St. Louis Browns won a free
swinging battle from the Athletics
in Philadelphia, 11-8.
b. bTstars
Batting — Nelson Fox, White Sox
—his first major league home run
with a man on base came in the 11th
inning to give Chicago a 9-7 tri
umph over the Boston Red Sox.
Pitching — Ewell Blackwell, Reds
—pitched a one-hitter (fifth inn
ing double by Bob Elliott) to win
a hurling duel from Vern Bickford
and the Bostpn Braves, 1-0. Bick
ford allowed only two hits, orte a
seventh inning home run by Catcher
John Pramesa.

IMPROVEMENT IS
PROPOSED WINTER
RECREATION AREA
Plans for major improvements in
the Douglas Island winter recre
ation area, to be made during the
coming season, have been formula
ted and announced by the Juneau
Ski Club.
Looking to the benefit of the
entire community, the project has
been designed for community spon
sorship to offer attractions for all
winter sportsmen, including hikers,
spectators, photographers, skiers
and potential skiers.
Principal plan proposed is for
a new public cabin to be erected
at the slalom hill just one mile
from the Douglas highway and
near the site of the existing ski
shelter. Preliminary plans for the
cabin call for a coffee and snack
bar to provide refreshments for all
users of the area; large window
space to afford spectators a good
view of the ski slope and sufficient
room to accommodate weekend ca
pacity crowds comfortably.
Oth“r proposed plans in the area
would Include clearing trees from
the present ski slope and installa
tion of an improved ski tow. With
the added clearing of the slope
Juneau would have one of the fin
est slalom hills and tow-equipped
slopes in Alaska, which would be
an attraction for various inter-Al
aska ski competitions.
The proposed improvements are
being considered for approval by
the U. S. Forest Service which has
jurisdiction over the recreational
area. While no funds are available
to the Forest Service for recrea
tional purposes, it is expected that
permanent personnel may be as
signed to supervise the execution
of the plans. Leading civic organi
zations have been informed of the
plan and assistance from them is
being sought in order to bring the
community a first-class winter re
creation area.

Will Be No Waiver
Explosives Handling
Regulations, Alaska
There will be no relaxation in
the regulations regarding the hand
ling of Class A explosives, in Al
aska, it was learned at 17th Dist
rict Coast Guard headquarters here
today.
Following a Congressional inves
tigation of the South Amboy, N.
J. explosion which occurred May
19, 19.90, the committee recommen
ded that “no permit for explosives
handling shall be issued by the
Coast Guard except in accordance
with the limits of isolation and re
moteness of the American Table
of Distances and after reasonable
notice to the local municipal au
thor ities by the Coast Guard with
opportunity for healing to such
municipal authorities with respect
thereto."
The Coast Guard considers this
a mandate from Congress and in
terprets it to mean that no waivers
can be gianted. A hearing was held
here in Juneau and also in Wash
ington relative to the effect of the
ruling on public and private works
in Alaska.
On May 1 the chairman of the
special subcommittee advised the
Coast Guard that after due con
sideration it was unanimously vo
lud to table the matter.
