Philadelphia
Wins Pennanl;
Meel Yankees
(By the Associated Press)
Their first pennant in 35 years
safely stowed away, the Philadelphia ,
Phillies today planned to shoot the
works against the highly favored
New York Yankees in the World
Series starting Wednesday.
Unless he has a change of heart.
Manager Eddie Sawyer of the Phils
will open with Robin Roberts, 4-1
conqueror of the Brooklyn Dodgers
yesterday in the game that gave
the Whiz Kids the National League
fjag. Roberts will be opposed by
Alli'e Reynolds in a battle of right
handers.
Having clinched the American
League pennant last Friday, the
well-rested Yankees will rule as
favorites over the tired Phils. Ex
perts figure the Yanks have too
much experience, deeper reserve
strength and stronger pitching than
the youthful Whiz Kids.
Philly Manager Eddie Sawyer does
not appear to be worried about the
Yankee prowess.
“We weren’t figured to have a
chance to beat Brooklyn for the
pennant, were we?” he reminded.
Rose-cheeked Robin undoubtedly
pitched the greatest game of his
life yesterday. However, he knew he
was in a battle with Brooklyn’s Don
Newcombe. If Dick Sisler hadn t h <.
that homer with two on in the top
of the 10th to snap a 1-1 tie, the
game might be going on yet.
The blow by Sisler, son of the im
mortal George who acts as Brook
lyn’s head scout, ended Brooklyn’s
’ “miracle” finish that for a time
threatened to throw the race into
another flat-footed last day tie. It
gave Roberts his 20th victory of the
year after the youngster had made
five futile tries for it.
Roberts yielded but five blows to
11 for Newcombe. He had to sum
mon all his wile and cunning to
hold off a Brooklyn bases-loaded
threat in the ninth that appeared
destined to bring about the Phillies’
sixth straight defeat.
Then it wras the Phillies turn.
Roberts opened with a single to
center. Eddie Waitkus blooped an
other single to center. Ashburn, at
tempting to sacrifice, bunted into a
force play at third. That set the
stage for Sisler’s game-winning
clout.
In other final games of the Na
tional League season, the New York
Giants defeated the Boston Braves,
5-1; Chicago edged St. Louis 3-2 in
11 innings and the Pittsburgh Pir
ates and. Cincinnati Reds divided a
doubleheader. The Reds won (he
opener, 3-2, and the Pirates the
nightcap, 3-1.
The Boston Red Sox trounced a
bunch of New York Yankee scrubs,
7-3, Cleveland dow'ned Detroit, 7-5;
Philadelphia beat Washington. 5-3,
and Chicago and St. Louis divided a
doubleheader. The White Sox won
the opener, 4-3, and the Browns the
finale, 10-6.

BEAVERS
HOLD ON
TO PLACE
By JIM HLBBART
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The tenacious Portland Beavers
stand today as the only refreshing
item on the agenda as Pacific Coast
League baseball limps into its final
week.
The Beavers have won 22 of their
last 25 starts in their, drive to that
$7,500 spot in the first division,
fourth place. They climaxed an 11 |
game series with Los Angeles yester
day by copping both ends of a
doubleheader, 6 to 3 and 9 to 6. They
won nine of those 11 games.
Oakland missed, a chance to clinch
a mathematical tie for the pennant
by losing the second game of a
doubleheader with the runnerup San
Diego Padres. The score was 12 to 9
in a weird seven inning ritual dur
ing which 12 pitchers saw action.
Oakland won the opener, 7 to 4.
San Francisco split with Seattle
but clung to fifth place by way of
Con Dempsey’s two hitter in the af
terpiece. The Seals won it, 5 to 1, but
dropped the opener. 3 to 2.
Hollywood crushed Sacramento
twice, 9 to 4 and 4 to E. Frank Kel
leher, Jim Baxes and Clint Conatser
swatted two homers apiece for the
Stars during the afternoon.

Derby Salmon Is
Sold a! $100 Per
(ass; Given to Yets
Territorial Sportsmen, Inc,, today
received word that a case of sports
man-caught and canned salmon
sent to Andy Anderson, Scripp -
Howard columnist with home base
at the Houston (Tex.) Press, was
sold for $100 for one of his charity
projects and the salmon turned
back for a veterans hospital Novem
ber big game dinner.
Andy was scheduled to participate
in and film the last Golden North
Salmon Derby as part of his Alask;.
trip last summer but sudden order
to report to New York cut his time
short so he still has unfinished bu i
ness in Alaska. He’ll be back ncx
year, he assures the Sportsmen.
“The man who bought the sal
mon,’ ’Andy writes, “turned it back
for the big game dinner at the he
pital. I have talked to the chef arc
he is preparing a special Alask.
salad. Sportsmen all over the
country are sending elk and anle
'ope as well as a few birds in sea
son f~r the big dinner.
“Sorta hoped some big game hun
ters in Alaska could rend a hunk o’
bear or caribou fo^ the dinner. If
any wish to send it. the address i
in care of Andy Anderson, Watkins
Frozen Food Lockers, Houston,
Texas."
Andy reported that Skish clubs
were launched in Fairbanks and An
chorage. (Skish is a casting game
ike skeet . . . with a fishing rod
instead.) Lisle Hebert is the local
Sportsmen chairman for Skish.
Andy Anderson was a bright spot
n more than 400 Army and Navy
hospitals as an entertainer during
he war and is one of the few who
didn’t forget when the war was over.
Ie went right on writing his column,
isitlng vet hospitals, providing de
vices which he makes for boys with
out arms or legs that helps them
,o hit a golf ball or cast a fly—and
hows them how.
As a veteran of the first world
war, Andy carries a gold card in the
I American Legion, was given the
First Citizen Award by the VFW just
before he took off for Alaska last
July. When he proved to be a kind
of Will Rogers personality with a
| fishin’ rod instead of a rope, he
| was caught at Anchorage and Fair
! banks to entertain just soldier boys
| —and they liked it, so did he.
On his flight from Anchorage to
Tacoma on an army plane, he stop
ped at Sitka long enough to write
a column about the crippled children 1
of Alaska, which has brought many
donations from the States. Then he i
returned to New York and Texas |
and they’ve kept him busy talking j
about Alaska!
“See you next Golden North Sal- I
inon Derby,” says Andy Anderson, a
real guy with humanity in his heart
and a small Texas sombrero perked
alertly on his head. So the Sports- |
men have written him, “Don’t miss
us next time.”

Message to Mr, Henry Rodens
We do not know, Mr. Roden, whether you are a self-appointed spokesman of the Democratic Party in Alaska,
or whether your appointment is from some other source. We do not, in fact, know who does appoint spokesmen
for the political parties of Alaska.
On the whole, Mr. Roden, we respect your Ion}? residence in Alaska and your long and varied service to our
Territory. We do not know of a Democrat in Alaska who could more capably fill the office of Territorial Treas
urer, or who could better inspire the confidence of Alaskans in that office.
We do not believe, Mr. Roden, that it is your intention to becloud the issues or befuddle the people. There are
some statements in your recent “Message For Alaskans,” however, that might be misunderstood by these Alas
kans. Hence, we offer this clarification.
You speak, Mr. Roden, of the “Republican-controlled 1947 Legislature” and of the frightful condition of the
Territory after that session.
Surely, Mr. Roden, you have not recently examined the record.
The record shows that in the House of Representatives in 1947 there were 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats.
The House can justly be said to have been controlled by the Republicans.
The record further shows that in 1947 there were 9 Democrats and 7 Republicans in the Senate. The Senate,
therefore, can be fairly said to have been controlled by the Democrats.
In that session, as you will recall, Mr. Roden, bills were introduce to provide a “basic” tax program. They
were the same “basic” bills entered by the 1949 Legislature.
But what happened in 1947? The general net income tax bill was introduced in the Democrat-controlled
Senate. It was also killed in the Democrat-controlled Senate, only four of the nine Democrats voting for its passage.
And the general property tax bill? It was introduced in the Democrat-controlled Senate. And it also was
killed in the Democrat-controlled Senate, only four Democrats voting for its passage.
But, back there in 1947, another net income tax bill was introduced in the Republican-controlled House. It was
passed by a large majority in the House, only to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Who failed to pass the necessary “basic” tax laws in 1947, Mr. Roden, the Democrats or the Republicans?
To go back a little further, Mr. Roden. What about the 1941 Senate, of which you were President? Was not
an income tax bill introduced in that session? And when it came to a final vote, was it not killed, with 3 votes for
and 5 against its passage? Was that a Republican vote, Mr. Roden? It was not. There was one lone Republican
in the Senate that session.
You appear to defend the entii’e tax program enacted by the 1949 Legislature, Mr. Roden, and to abhor any
criticism of it. In this we presume you include the gross business license tax.
In 1947, Mr. Roden, did you not speak on the floor of the House and help to repeal the gross tax on gold
mines? That was a gross tax on only one type of business, and you found it abhorrent and unfair. We also believe
it was unfair, as did 1he Republican-controlled House that year. Now, however, you seem to find a gross tax
on all other types of business is fair and justified. Why is that?
And the tax on gasoline, Mr. Roden. For the fisherman, is that not a gross tax on his cost of doing business?
Does he not pay the gas tax whether or not he makes a dime of profit on his fishing venture? Yet we recall that
not long since you advocated not that this gross tax be repealed, but that it be doubled.
You say, Mr. Roden, that Oscar Olson was a Republican until 1934. That may be true. We do not know that
there is anything against his record before 1934; we are well aware of his record in subsequent years. A change
of political complexion is not unprecedented in the present members of the Democratic administration. Governor
Ernest Henry Gruening was also once a Republican. At least, he is so listed in Who’s Who for 1916-1917.
You say, Mr. Roden, that conditions in the Territory have improved, particularly in the last 18 years. We will
concede a greatly increased Federal and Territorial payroll. We will also concede a great deal of spending for
defense purposes. Do the Democrats claim credit for the lattdr? Are great defense expenditures neecssary be
cause of the vaccillating foreign policy of the National Democratic Administration?
In what other respect has there been “improvement?” Where is our mining industry? Where is the long
sought pulp development? Where is the risk capital necessary to develop these industries? Has it not been
taxed out of existence by Democratic financial policies?
What has happened to our fur farmers and our trappers? And what is happening to the fishermen, par
ticularly those who depend for a large part of their income upon the sale of fish livers and viscera? Are not all
of these people being damaged immeasurably by foreign competition, the result of the foreign trade policies of
the National Democratic Administration?
Except for the defense industries, can you point to a single new industry established in Alaska during the
past ten years, Mr. Roden?
And the “progress” you report on the national scene? Has that not been purchasedJby borrowing against the
future, by piling the ntiaonal debt ever higher and higher?
You have joined with other Democrats of the present administration in yelling “smear campaign,” Mr. Roden.
Perhaps that is your oniy out. It is much easier to join together in a chorus of “smear, smear, smear’ than it
is to justify the Democrcatic Party’s stewardship of this Territory during the past ten years.
We assert that this is not and has not been a “smear” campaign. The Republicans have, however, brought out
into the daylight a great many things the Democrats preferred to leave in darkness.
We find ourselves in full agreement with you, Mr. Roden, when you urge the people to “vote for candidates
who will work not for their own selfish ends but for the public good and Alaska’s future.”
But, Mr. Roden, you did not name these candidates. You did not, in your messabe to Alaskans, even suggest
that the Democratic candidates fulfill the requirement of unselfishness and public interest. Why is that? Could
you not in good conscience, Mr. Roden, endorse the full Democratic ticket for the General Election?
