RAIN HITS
NORTHWEST
BALL GAMES
By JIM HIBBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
With only two weeks left to play,
the Portland Beavers open an 11
game home stand against Los An
geles tonight In an effort to grab a
berth in the Pacific Coast League’s
first division.
The issue, however, may depend
on the weather man. He rained out
out of yesterday’s double headers,
and it .the Pacific Northwest's wet
season opens on schedule, the series
may never go 11 games.
The Beavers, tied in fifth place
with San Francisco, are two games
behind the fourth place Seattle
Rainiers.
It rained Sunday in Portland,
causing postponement of a pair with
San Francisco. The Angels were
washed out, too, at Seattle.
Farther south, though, the pace
setting Oakland Acorns split a twin
bill with lowly Sacramento and the
San Diego Padres trimmed Holly
wood twice, 6 to 1 and 5 to 4. The
Stars now are officially out as
pennant contenders.
Two unearned runs in the second
inning provided the margin for
Oakland’s 4 to 2 triumph in the
opener. Sacramento scored both its i
runs in a brief ninth inning upris- ;
ing. The Solons took the nightcap.
6 to 2.

YANKS NOW
IN LEAD FOR
BIG FLAG
(By the Associated Press)
The 1950 American League pen
nant race is just about over but it
will be remembered as long as base
ball is played as the year that
catcher Aaron Robinson pulled a
colossal “boner.”
Robinson’s blunder gave the
Cleveland Indians a 2-1 ten-innine
swat to the Tigers’ pennant hopes.
The defeat dropped the second
place Tigers 21 •) games behind the
New York Yankees, who virtually
knocked third place Boston out of
contention by trouncing the Ret
Sox. 9-5.
New York needs only six victories
out of its remaining eight game.1
to clinch its second straight cham
pionship.
Robinson’s “rock” came in one ol
the strangest games ever played. At
game time in Cleveland it was sc
dark because of dust and smoke that
the lights were turned on.
The Yanks had fairly easy sail
ing against the Red Sox before
36,924 fans at Yankee Stadium. They
piled up a 6-1 lead in four innings
for Vic Raschi who went all the
way to post his 21st victory.
Two home runs by Ted William:
and another by Bobby Doerr ac
counted for half of the Red So?
lits.
In remaining American League
games the Washington Senator:
ripped the Philadelphia Athletics
3-1, and the St. Louis Browns
dumped the Chicago White Sox
twice, 5-0 and 6-1.
The Philadelphia Phillies lost
ground in the National League race
as they suffered a humiliating 11 -(
defeat at the hands of the second
place Brooklyn Dodgers.
Three-run homers by Hank
Thompson and Don Mueller paced
.he New York Giants to a 12-4 vic
tory over the Boston Braves.
In other National League game:
the Chicago Cubs trounced the St.
Louis Cardinals, 8-3, and the Cin
cinnati Reds and Pittsburgh *Pirate:.

7-1, and the Pirates the nightcap.

AT WEEKEND

Heavy Layer of Smoke
from Canadion Forest
Fires Over East
(By the Associated Press)
A chill blast hit a large area of
1 the nation again today under a
heavy layer of smoke from Cana
dian forest fires.
But the smoke, about 3.000 feet
' thick, was moving out into the At
lantic Ocean and the Weather Bu
reau expected temperatures to re
1 turn to their autumn normals as the
?un again comes into view.
The smoke moved in yesterday
over the area from the Great Lakes
eastward to the seaboard and as
far south as the Ohio valley. The
! New York weather forecaster said
he never had heard of such a
i thick layer of smoke over such a
| wide area.
I; made many places so dark
] street lights were turned on and in
Cleveland and Pittsburgh baseball
| parks major league afternoon games
I were played with floodlights on.
An airplane pilot who landed at
LaGuardia Field. New York, said the
smoke base was at about 14,000 feet
i altitude and its top at about 11,000
I feet. It was moving seaward at about
35 miles an hour.
The smoke was carried along from
I smouldering forest fires in Northern
I Alberta and the District of Macken
i zie in Canada.
The mercury skidded into the
30's today as far south as Kentucky,
where Corbin had a low of 38 de
grees.
