ELKS WIN
FIRST GAME
OF SERIES
Playing in perfect baseball weather
last night the Elks powered their
way to a win over the Coast Guard
in the first game of the three-game
playoff series for the championship
of the Gastineau Channel Baseball
league. The score was 13 to 10.
Wildly cheering fans saw all cl
the Elks score at least once with
the exception of leftfieldcr Notar
who had to be content with a single
In the bottom of the sixth which
drove in two runs—the untying and
winning tallies. One other run came
in for the Elks in that inning.
The only homer of the game was
by Forsythe of the Elks in the t ec
ond inning with two on base. He
also hit a single and double. ,
An old-timer from last year, Can
tillion, started for the Elks but was
unable to find his control and was
relieved by Palmer in the third in
ning after walking the first two
men to face him in that inning.
Usually reliable pitcher Dorris
started for the Coast Guard, but was
knocked out in the third after two
men were out, one men had scored
and the bases filled to capacity with
Elks. Former Moose pitcher Shepard
relieved him and was charged with
three runs while pitching effective
ball.

Three-Run Homer in 10th
Inning by Beavers Does
Trick-Warren Beaned
(By the Associated Press)
Portland. Ore., the City of Roses,
stood ready to pin one on the manly
torso of Leo Thomas today, but a
rose by any other name still smells
bad in Hollywood.
Mr. Thomas, Portland’s third base
man, dumped the Stars into third
place in the Pacific Coast League
standings last night by way Of a
three run homer in the 10th inning.
■ The Hollywood infield, however, was
, os much to blame as Leo.
It was the topper to a night of
freak situations, schoolboy fielding
and bean-ball pitching that landed
Seattle catcher Jack Warren in the
hospital and probably produced sev
eral candidates for the waiver list.
The bean-balling occur red in the
third inning of the SeaUle-Oakland
game. Charley Gasoaway darted it
with a pitch that caught Warren in
tiie head and laid him out cold.
Hector Browrt ended if by curving
one into Oakland's Artie Wilson.
The Oaks won the game easily, 5
i to 2.
Warren was the second Seattle
player to be bcaned in as many
! nights. Second baseman Tod Davis
caught one on the noggin while bat
ting Wednesday night. He spent the
night in the hospital for observa
tion but was released to sit out last
! night’s encounter.
The lax fielding occurred at
Hollywood. Portland edged the
Stars, 8 to 5, when errors by Buddy
Hicks and Gene Handley put two
Portland runners aboard in the
10th and set the stage for Thomas’
home run. At Oakland, the Acorns
got off to an early lead when Bob
Hofman’s hit took a bad hop and
went for three bases.
Elsewhere, the proceedings were
rather normal. San Diego, now in
second place, trimmed Los Angeles
for the third time, 4 to 1. Chet John
son scattered eight hits in behalf
of San Francisco and blanked Sac
ramento, 4 to 0.
There was activity among the PCL
directors yesterday, too. They met
in Los Angeles tto discuss ways of
combatting the major league player
draft. The PCL wants to keep Its
players and has asked the majors to
cooperate.
Tonight, Seattle’s Jim Wilson goes
after his 20th win of the season.
He’ll put his 19-6 record on the
block at Oakland against Hank
Behrman (12-6).
DAILY DOUBLE IS
PAID, RACE TRACK
SEATTLE, Aug. 11—OP)—The third
highest daily double of the season—
$1.316.80—was paid off yesterday to
each of three lucky ticket holders
at the Longacres race track.
The big return came as lightly re
garded Dark Acres romped home in
the six-furlong opener and Double
Count sneaked In ahead in the sec
ond, paying $178 and $42.60 respec
tively.
PHILS RIDE
HIGHER IN
NAT. LEAGUE
i By the Associated Press)
Jim Konstanty. the Phils’ rubber
armed reliefer, looks like the most
important single factor in the Na
tional League race. As long as Jim
holds up. the Phils should ride high
Soldier Curt Simmons is supposed
to continue the job of cooling old
the sizzling New York Giants to
night. Chances are Konstanty will
be in the final boxscore.
When Konstanty replaced bom1;
Bob Miller in the eighth inning ol
last night’s 6-5 win over the Giant;
he made his 51st appearance of the
season. The Phils have played 1053
games. It hardly seems possible that
Jim missed 57.
Singles by Gran Ilamner and
j Andy Seminick and a gume-losing
| throwing error by center fielder
I Bobby Thompson gave Konstaruy
his ninth victory in the 10th innin
| of last night’s stru , ;le. More im
• par.ant, it boosted the Phils lead
to six games over Boston,
j Bubba Church failed to retire a
batter in the two-run first inning,
giving way to Miller, who yielded
another pair in the fourth and one
j in the eighth when he was knocked
! out. The Phils clawed Larry Jan
! sen for five runs and 10 hits in his
, seven-inning stay. It was the
' Giants’ third loss in 20 games.
Rruoklyn-Hosion Series
| The important Brooklyn-Boston
| series opened with a win lor the
, Dodgers, 4-3. Consecutive homers by
| Oil Hodges and Roy Campanella in
! i he fourth aided the cause,
i Umpire Lou Jorda cleared the
| Boston bench in the fourth after tin
I Braves protested his call on a pitch
j to Hodges.
; Hodges’ stab of Sam Jethroe's
i liner started a game-ending double
j play that ruined a ninth-inning
Boston threat. Earlier Jethroe hit
I his 12t.h homer.
Preacher Roe, knocked out in the
[ eighth, saved his 15th win while
Johnny Sain, going the ro\ite, suf
fered his eighth loss. He’s won 16.
Pittsburgh broke a 10-game los
ing streak by blasting Chicago, 7 :.
Ralph Kilter, Wally Westlf ke - ij
Clyde McCullough hit lu.ners m
the four-run fourth.
In Second Division
Picking on the second division
clubs proved risky business in the
American League yesterday. Only
Cleveland, a 5-4 winner over St.
Louis, got away with it. The Try#
squeezed home with Bob Lemon hit
ting two doubles to back up his
18th victory.
Detroit added a half game to its
lead, now measuring 3'-. Cleveland,
not New York, now is in second
place. But the Tigers missed a
chance. After whipping Chicago,
10-6, they W'ere held to a 1-1 tie
in the second game, called by dark
ness in the seventh inning.
Philadelphia dropped New York
into third place by a 5-3 win in their
series opener.
Boston ran into trouble with filth
place Washington. The Senators
came up with eight runs in the
second inning to win the opener for
Bob Kuzava, 11-2, but the Red So.,
took the second game, 4-3.
