RAINIERS IN
LOSING GAME,
BUT AI TOPS
By Associated Press
The Pacific Coast League club
swing into the second round of their
weekend series tonight, and once
again it ■appears as if a rearrange
ment of the first division is in pros
pect.
The Sacramento Solons, breathing
hot on the necks of the Seattle
Rainiers following an 8-G tr:ump!
in their series opener last night,
play host to the league leaders again
The victory left the Solons only a
half game behind the Rainiers, w'k
took over the lead from the Sac.-,
at this time last wTeek.
Down at the other end of the line
it's something else again. One n et
thing about being in the cellar: No
body expects you to win anyway,
which may be consoling to the hap
less San Francisco Seals.
The Seals, with a 4-0 lead to work
on, collapsed like a house of cards
in the ninth inning at Otkland last
night and succumbed, 5 to 4. The
Oaks suddenly lit the fuse under
cheerful Chester Johnson, the San
Francisco s'.arter, and before the
carnage ended, two relief hurlers
were blasted into submission as well.
Artie Schallock and the Hollywood
Stars performed an 8-1 autopsy on
Los Angeles. The Twinks, winning
their fourth in a row, piled up a
six-run lead in the first inning, then
coasted in behind the little lefty’s
five-hit pitching.
At San Diego it was no worse.
Portland pounded four Padre pitch
ers for 17 hits and a 12-2 triumph.
Eddie Basinski drilled a three-run
homer during Portland’s six-run
spree in the ninth inning.

WILLIAMS
IS 1 MAN
GANG YET
By Associated Press
So Ted Williams is no team
player. Don't try to sell that to the
Chicago White Sox.
Williams was a one-man gang at
Fenway Park last night as the Red
Sox clipped the fleet- Chicago lads
6-5. Vern Stephens’ game-winning
homer with a man on stole the
headlines but Williams put on a
brilliant all-around exhibition —
fio’ding. throwing and hitting.
Ted actually starred in the field
Honest. He raced to the scoreboard
in left to make a sensational leap
ing stab of Chico Carrasquel’s fly
to save the game in the eighth.
Chicago had knocked out Mel Par
nell, scoring two runs and had men
on second and third when Williams
ended.the threat.
Parnell, tagged for three runs in
the third on singles by Bob Dillin
;rr and Nelly Fox and Minoso’s
homer, was chased in the eighth.
E'lis Kinder’s no-hit relief work
and Williams’ catch saved Parnell’s
eighth win and a lifetime 17-3 rec
ord against Chicago.
Randy Gumpert, witli a 7-0 rec
ord as a starter and relief ace, took
the loss. Luis Alomo and Marv Rot
blatt followed with effective shutout
jc bs.
With Allie Reynolds throwing his
sreond straight shutout, a six-single
6-0 job against Cleveland, the New
York Yankees clipped Chicago’s
American League lead to 2li games
—the same margin they left home
with two weeks ago.
Bobby Feller just didn’t have it
in his try for a seventh straight and
11th victory. The Yanks combed
him for eight of their 10 hits in
seven innings.
Six Kuns First Inning
Bucky Harris was rushed to a
Washington hospital for observation
while his Senators were losing to
Detroit, 7-3. Fred Sanford, the ex
Yank who threw a fiashy three
hitter in his first Washington start
was knocked out by the Tigers in a
six-run first inning. Ted Gray need
ed help from Hal White in the
e'ghth to nail down his third win
Gus Zernial poled two home runs
off A1 Widmar as Philadelphia
nudged St. Louis a little deeper into
the cellar with a 5-2 win behind Alex
Kellner.
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh struggled
through lighting trouble and show
ers in a damp marathon that fin
ally ended at 12:55 EST., this morn
ing. They were two hours late start
ing because of light trouble and de
layed another 36 minutes by rain. At
last it was written into the records
as another Brooklyn win, 8-4, pre
serving their 6'- game lead on New
York. Clyde King was the winner
on relief over Ted Wilks.
Rookie Willie Mays gave New
York Giant fans a shot in the arm
with a three-run homer in the 10th
to whip Chicago, 9-6.
Sam Jethroe, restored to center
field when Tommy Holmes took
over as Boston Manager, came thru
with a two-run double with two
out in the ninth for the Braves’ 8-7
win over St. Louis.
Cincinnati ripped into Jocko
Thompson for three in the first inn
ing and made it stand up for a 3-2
edge over the Phillies to move into
fourth place.

SO EASY TO HANDLE
Lovely TV actress Cindy Cameron illustrates the remarkable ease of
steering in the 1951 Chrysler, by turning the wheel with only fingertip
pressure. Any driver can do this, even with the car standing absolutely
still, thanks to Hydraguide, the new power steering innovation which
lets hydraulic pressure do all the work.
Power steering is only one of the unusual present-day automobile
developments which are attracting large crowds to the Chrysler Salon
in the Chrysler Building, New York City, to see the Chrysler Engineer
ing Achievement Exhibit, which is open to the public until June S.

Sixty Third cf a Series
B. C. Progress
Various codes of human ethics
warn us not to p«'v/,+ the goods
and chattels of our neighbors, but
it is hard for Alaskans not to en
vy the present construction boom in
neighboring British Columbia.
It is not that Alaska does not
have a construction boom of her
own and one that is probably lar
ger, in dollars and cents totals,
than British Columbia’s.
The big difference is in the na
ture of the construction. In Alaska
it is mostly for defense or other
non-productive purposes, while Brit
ish Columbia is concentrating on
industrial construction and devel
opment.
Many of the present Alaska pro
jects will continue to be a drain
on the' taxpayers when they are
finished. Those in British Columbia,
on the ether hand, will produce tax
revenues to help pay the cost of
government.
Industrial construction in British
Columbia includes new pulp and
paper mills and expansion of old
ones; an aluminum reduction
plant, a zinc refinery, several ply
wood plants, a big fertilizer works
and an iron ore smelter. Oil and
natural gas and other mineral re
sources are being developed.
Uncle Sam is one of British Co
lumbia’s best customers and last
year took more than 50 percent of
the exports of the province, or
around $227,000,000 worth of good.
Nearly all of the Industrial plants
being built in British Columbia
could be duplicated in Alaska, so
far as potential power and avail
ability of raw materials are con
cerned.
And most of the goods and ma
terials now shipped from British
Columbia to the States could be
supplied by Alaska.
Why is industry experiencing a
boom in Canada while it remains
virtually stagnant in Alaska?
Relative costs are a large part
of the answer — wages, transporta
tion charges, taxes, and so forth.
It is not likely, or even desirable,
that wages in Alaska will be cut
to the Canadian level. And because
of the longer haul to Alaska, trans
portation costs may always be
greater.
That leaves taxes, and in a tax
incentive program lies perhaps
Alaska's greatest hope of attracting
industrial concerns.
Exemption from Federal taxation
for industrial enterprises in Alaska,
rfter the plan of Federal tax ex
emption in Puerto Rico, the Canal
Sone and Guam, would do much to
offset higher building costs, higher
wages and transportation costs.
And personal exemption from
federal income taxes would, by oif
■ictting high living costs, be a great
help in attracting the settlers and i
xnmanent residents Alaska so bnd
y needs.
I
OLD JOE LOY
“You may fire when you arc
ready, Gridley." said Commodore
George Dewey at 0542 on that his
toric morning at Manila Day when
his squadron of cruisers and gun
boats licked the Spanish fleet be-1
fere breakfast.
What the commodore said when
he ordered breakfast that morning
is not, recorded in history. Did he
have his eggs sunny-side up? Or
hard boiled?
A man who might have answered
that question died in Ketchikan a
few days ago. His name was Joe
Loy and to all but a few who knew
him well he was just another anc
ient Chinaman.
While it is not certain that Joe
Loy cooked Commodore Dewey’s
reakfast alter shooting was over
:n that bright morning of May 1,
1898, it Is known that he was one
of the cooks aboard the cruiser
Olympia which carried Dewey's flag.
Born in Canton nearly 86 years
ago, Joe Loy received a better than
average education before he left his
homeland. In later years he wrote
hundreds of letters, in Chinese
brush characters, for his less skilled
countrymen in Alaska.
It was about 1890 when Joe Loy
first arrived in Alaska as one of
four cooks and stewards aboard the
little gunboat Pinta which was sta
ticned in these waters from 1884
until 1897. He remained on the Pin
ta until she completed her Alaska
duty and reached Mare Island Navy
Yard in the summer of 1897.
At Mare Island he was trans
ferred to the gunboat Concord
which was enroute to Hong Kong
to join the American Asiatic Squad
ron. And at Hong Kong he trans
ferred again, to the flagship Olym
pia.
When the Spanish American War
ended many of the ships of our
navy were decommissioned and Joe
Loy was out of a job. He soon
found another with the old U. S.
Revenue Marine, now a part of the
Coast Guard, and returned to Alas
ka in vessels of that service.
He was in the galley of a number
of the Revenue Cutters, including
the Perry which was wrecked on
St. Paul Island in 1910 and the
Tahoma, wrecked in the Aleutians
in 1914. Thereafter, shifting to ves
sels purposely seeking the rocks,
reefs and other hazards to navi
gation, he served in ships of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. His last
sea service is believed to have been
in the Surveyor.
After he left the sea, Joe Loy
woiked as cook at the Sunny Point
cannery in Ketchikan and at other
Southeast Alaska salmon canneries
until he was up in his seventies. He
quit working for wages then, but
he continued to make his own liv
ing, or a large part of it.
he was not one to hang around
the fish docks where he might easi
ly have bummed small halibut or
salmon or red snappers from the
fishermen and buyers. Joe Loy
caught his own fish and for many
years the little old Chinaman,
trudging home with a string of
black bass or rock cod, was a fa
miliar sight on the streets of Ket
chikan.
There were no military honors for
Joe Loy when he was buried. Al
though a military force may travel
on its belly, the cooks of the out
fit are seldom honored.
But Joe Loy was also an Alaskan
for upward of sixty years; one of
1 the breed of Alaskan pioneers who
j believed in rustling for himself so
| long as he was able. As such, we
salute him here.
