4 TOPPERS,
PC LEAGUE,
LOSE GAMES
By Associated Press
Walk a man and he’ll beat you
is Bob Feller once said, and Right
hander Frank Nelson of the Sacra
mento Solons has absorbed this wis
dom the hard way.
With one out in the 11th inning
Nelson walked a man with the bases
loaded in the Pacific Coast League
headliner at San Diego last night
thereby causing a 3-2 Padre victory
Only the fact that the other first
division teams also suffered defeat:
kept the Solons from losing ground
They’re still on top by a half game
Portland broke a scoreless tie by
collecting six unearned runs in the
seventh inning and beating the
second place Seattle Rainiers, 8-3
while Los Angeles moved into a 3
way tie for fourth with a 6-3 win
over Oakland.
Lowly San Francisco ran its win
ning streak to four straight by a
4-3 conquest of the third place Hol
lywood Stars.
Charlie Schanz was the victim of
Portland's six run inning, featuring
a two-run homer by Beaver Pitcher
Lyman Linde.
An error by George Vico, erstwhile
j Seattle first baseman transferred
jto third for last night’s game, set
[the stage for the Rainier’s down
Ifall. Schanz, who had given up only
lone hit in 6 2 3 innings, walked Joe
Brovia after he had fanned two
[men in the seventh. Don White fol
lowed Brovia to the plate and tapped
to Vico who fumbled the ball. Frank
Austin then singled to center, scor
ing Grovia, Joe Rossi doubled to
center, scoring White and Austin.
Cal Mclrvin singled home Rossi
and Linde planted the two-run
homer in the left field bleachers.

A
KRETLOW IS
SHOWING UP
AS PITCHER
By Associated Press
Lou Kretlow, Harry Dorish, Ran
dy Gumpert and Kenny Holcombe—
Chicago's waiver waifs — are mak
ing faces red all around the Ameri
can League.
Kretlow, who is he? That prob
ably was the man-in-the-street re
action to yesterday’s story on the
blazing White Sox. Still a club—the
Detroit Tigers — once thought
enough of Lou to pay him a $35,000
bonus to sign off the Enid (Okla.)
Army Air Force team.
You could have had Kretlow for
as low as $10,000 a year ago. In
fact, two clubs did have him for
just that. First the St. Louis Browns
and then the White Sox. He hadn’t
won a game since July 7, 1949.
Things were so rough Lou consider
ed chucking it all for a career as
a pro golfer.
Kretlow’s 1950 record of 0-2 hard
ly stamped him as a man who would
boost the White Sox’ league lead to
4'j games. But Manager Paul Rich
ards seems to have a way with
pitchers.
After yesterday’s neat four-hitter
against Washington for a 4-2 win,
both the Tigers and Brownies would
be glad to welcome him back.
The Sox are gradually pulling
away from the pack while the Yanks
and Red Sox fizzle. They handed
Connie Marrero his second loss be
hind Kretlow’s strong pitching.
A fumble by \isually dependable
Phil Rizzuto cost the Yankees a 5-4
loss to the lowly St. Louis Brown
ies. Behind 4-2 going to the ninth,
the Browns tied the score on two
triples and a single. Then with men
on first and second, Bob Young
grounded to Second Baseman Billy
Martin who flipped the ball to Riz
zuto. But Rizzuto dropped the ball
when Jim Delsing ran into him,
Johnny Bero scoring from second.
Detroit lowered the boom on Bos
ton, 6-4, for the Red Sox’ fifth
straight loss. Even in defeat, Dcm
DiMaggo kept his batting streak
alive, hitting safely in his 26th con
secutive game.
Alex Kellner handed Cleveland
its second straight loss after nine
straight wins, with a 4-3 seven-hit
ter.
Brooklyn opened up another
length on the field in the National
edging St. Louis, 3-2, in a game
finished under protest by Manager
Marty Marion of the Cards.
Cincinnati foiled the New York
Giants by scoring three in the ninth
to win, 5-4.
Warren Spahn snapped Boston’s
five-game losing streak with a five
hitter against Pittsburgh, 5-2.
The Phillies cut loose on Bob
Schultz. Cal McLish and Johnny
Schmitz with 18 hits to smother
Chicago, 9-1.

BUT NO KNOCKOUT
DETROIT, June 7 —(41— Clar

out Omelio Agramonte, has some

Henry won a unanimous decision.
NCAATRACK MEET
OPENS AT SEATTLE
ON JUNE 15 TO IS
SEATTLE, June 7 —UPl— They
start the pole vault bar at 12 feet
6 inches next week in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association Track
and Field championships.
Fifty years ago the athletes
couldn’t even have finished that
high. But vaulters have learned to
soar since I. K. Baxter won an
Olympic title for the United States
at 10 feet 9 9 10 inches in 1900.
It’s doubtful if the dueling Dons—
Laz of Illinois and Cooper of Ne
braska—will even shed their warm
ups for the first passes at the bar,
come June 16 and takeoff time for
the vaulters.
The vault will be a second-day
feature at the June 15-16 meeting
The first day will bring trials in
the dashes, hurdles, middle dis
tances, broad jump, shotput, javelin
and discus. Finals in all events will
be held June 16.

"PUDDY TATS" !S
NAME OF FOOTBALL
SQUAD OF LIONS
A new name for the Lions Club
softball Team has been passed ev
the baseball commissioner of the
Channel Civic Club League Oscai
Ovaltine, it was announced by the
softball czar today.
The name "Puddy Tats” W'as sel
ected after :* fierce struggle in the
inner office with the League sec
retary, Miss Myrtle Priff. Later
Miss Priff stated that the struggle
in the inner office had nothing to
do with the selection of the name.
Both the local of the Plumbers
Union and the Anti-Saloon League
objected to the first chfb team
name promulgated, in the conten
tion that even with Lions what they
are "The Growlers” w’as a mis
nomer and brought back memories
of other things.
A misunderstanding arose early
in the meeting when some zoolog
ically ignorant player’s represent
ative suggested that the Lions be
called “Stripers,” a name common
ly connected with tigers. Certain
other connotations ruled this name
out too, it being felt that once a
man has paid his debt to society
he should be loosed on the com
munity again without further iden
tification.
An announcement will be forth
coming soon as to the authorized
(and printable) name for the Ro
tary team.
The softball game is the starter
for the Salvation Army drive to
be made in Juneau.
BRBWN BEAR MAY
SOON BE EXTINCT,
A5SERTSDUFRESME
The Alaskan brown bear, world's
largest, carnivore and the King of
North American game animals, may
scon be extinct, according to an
article in the June issue of Field
& Stream, by Frank Dufresne.
Lobbyists representing the sal
mon tanneries condemn the great
tear on the grounds they eat sal
mon. So they do, says Dufresne,
who points out that each bear
taken by a sportsman in the Ter
ritory is worth over $1800. Ranchers
trying to raise cattle on Kodiak
say the bears eat steak on the
hoof.
This is doubtful, according to Du
iresr.e who spent 25 years with the
Alasaan Fish and Game Service.
The evidence shows that Kodiak's
weather, poor grass, and bogholes
are a greater threat to the cattle

industry which can never match
the annual revenue brought to the
island by sportsmen. This threat
to our greatest game trophy, now
in concrete form in a resolution
pressured through the Territorial
Legislature, has enraged outdoors
men throughout the United States. j
An example of what aroused
sportsmen can accomplish in prac
tical conservation is “Miracle on
the Feather," also featured in the
June Field & Stream. Every fresh
water fisherman in California
knows the story of how Dolores
Kelton and a small group of local
sportsmen transformed the Feather
River, a barren creek in 1946, into
line rainbow trout water. The ac
tivities of Mrs. Kelton's Fishing
Associated group, in raising money
and materials, cooperating in labor
on the project, and developing a
restocking method since practiced
by the California Fish and Game
Commission, offer an object lesson
or other restoration of the sport
3Ur fathers enjoyed.

TOK-DAWSON ROAD!
EN GOOD SHAPE IS
STATED BY NOYES
The road from Tok to Dawson, j
especially on the American side of
the boundary, is in good shape, ac- I
cording to a report from Col. Noyes,
Commissioner of the Alaska Road
Commission, to the local ARC of
fice.
Col. Noyes and Col. II. W. l ove,
commander of the Northwest High
way System of Canada, completed
a round trip over the highway the
first of the week.
The Canadian side, which is
about 60 miles long, is somewhat
rough as yet. Noyes reported, due
to thawing but work is being done
on it and the rough spots should be
ironed out shortly. The trip, from
the Alaska Highway to Dawson took
about six hours, a distance of 170
mile.?.
Col. Noyes reported that the
Canadian side is an especially
scenic drjve as the road follows
elan? the top of rolling ridges and
from the top of each ridge a pan
orama of miles of rolling country
is seen.
They made the trip up on Mon
day and returned Tuesday. Col
Noyes was accompanied by Ken
Gcodson, district engineer in the
Fairbanks office of ARC. Col Noyes
is now in Anchorage inspecting
roads to the westward.
