RAINIERS
NOW HOLD
HARDSPOT
By Associated Press
This should be an eventful week
in the Pacific Coast League.
Rogers Hornsby’s Seattle Rain
iers, playing inspired ball, are oc
cupying the top spot in the stand
ings. but they’ll have to prove their
worth against Oakland in the Bay
City.
And Mel Ott’s Oaks, thumped by
Hollywood, are quite anxious to get
back on the victory trail.
When Seattle gets through with
the Oakland series it will have tc
reckon with Fred Haney’s Stars in
Hollywood. The Stars have started
to hit, the pitching is on the im
prove, and Hollywood again is get
ting the maximum number of runs
from its attack. t
Hollywood, three games out of
first place, may be battling for the
No. 1 spot when Seattle invades the
cinema city. The Stars open a three
game series against San Diego at
the border city tonight.
Sacramento, knocked out of the
lead last Sunday by Seattle’s dou
ble-header win, plays host to the
much improved San Francisco Seals.
Los Angeles is home to entertain
Portland.

WHITE SOX
GET HOLD,
TOP PLACE
■
By Associated Press
For the first time in 30 years, Chi
cago’s White Sox are able to look
down upon the entire American
League — and that includes the
world champion New York Yankees.
A momentous 4-2 homecoming vic
tory over the St. Louis Browns last
night, before 23,138 whooping fans,
zoomed the Pale Hose to the top.
It climaxed a spectacular 12-game
winning streak, all but one on the
road.
Naturally, the Sox needed out
side assistance. And they got it
when the Red Sox nosed out the
Yankees, 3-2, in Boston.
Not since 1920 have the White
Sox enjoyed — all by their lone
some — such a lofty perch as late
as Decoration Day. They were on
top for two days in 1937 — June 8-9
—but were forced to share the lead
with the Yankees. New York went
on to win the flag, Chicago drop
ping to third.
Victorious in 18 of their last 20
games, the Sox today hold a 24 per
centage point bulge over the Yanks
—.727 to .703.
Saul Rogovin threw a two-hitter
at the Browns as his mates clubbed
loser Duane Pillette for eight of
their nine hits and all their runs
in five innings.
Mel Parnell, Red Sox ace south
paw, surrendered nine Yankee hits
but was tough in the pindhes to
register his fifth victory, two of
them over the Yankees.
Sixth Homer
Bobby Doerr’s sixth home run of
the season, with a mate aboard in
the second inning, was the payolf
wallop.
Reasonably rapid Robert Feller
spun himself another shutout, his
second in succession, as Cleveland
whipped the Tigers in Detroit, 9-0.
It was his sixth victory against a
lone defeat.
Brooklyn retained its two and a
half game edge in the National
League race, shading the Phillies,
4- 3, in Philadelphia. A home run
by Carl Furillo in the top of the
ninth snapped a 3-3 deadlock and
handed the Phils their fifth straight
loss.
The St. Louis Cardinals blew a
5- 2 lead to Pittsburgh but came back
in the last half of the 10th inning
to eke out a 6-5 victory when Red
Schoendienst singled with two out
and the bases loaded.
Warren Spahn snapped New
York’s four game winning streak
with a seven-hitter as the Boston
Braves defeated the Giants, 4-1.
Rain washed out the scheduled
games between the Philadelphia
Athletics and Senators in Washing
ton and the Chicago Cubs and Reds
in Cincinnati. All games were played
under the lights.

TOP LIMIT SET FOR
ADDED WEIGHT SOAP
BOX DERBY RACERS
Soap Box Derby boys may add
weight to their racing cars this
year, to bring them up to the top
limit ot 250 pounds for car and boy
combined.
This is one of the most significant
changes in the 1951 rules. The Of
llcial Rule Book plainly states that
this added weight must be securely
built into the body or chassis.”
"No loose material of any kind
is permitted in the car,” the rule
says. In other words, if weight is
added to your car, anchor it firm
ly in the car.
The national rules committee
found that light boys should not
be penalized by being forced to
race below the maxiimqn limit
against heavy boys, whose car
driver combined total was almost
250 pounds. Furthermore, under the
old rules, too many boys were try
ing to conceal added weight, only
to be disqualified at the last min
ute.
Every car, with the boy in driv
ing position, is weighed during in
spection before local races on To
ledo Scales. If a car and boy are
over the limit, the boy is given an
opportunity to eliminate some of
the weight from his car or from
himself.

LAND WITHDRAWAL
HELD IN ABEYANCE
AFTER BLMHEARING
The request of the U. S. Army
for withdrawal of 772,000 acres of
land in the iinterior for an artil
lery range is being “held in abey
ance," by the Army following hear
ings in Anchorage May 12.
This was the report of Leonard
Berlin, division engineer, Bureau
of Land Management, who attend
ed the hearings in behalf of his de
partment and returned to Juneau
Friday. The hearing was presided
over by Lowell Puckett who is in
charge of Bureau of Land Manage
ment for Alaska.
"Land asked by the Army was in
the vicinity of Gulkana and the
withdrawal was protested by a
number of hunting clubs, civic or
ganizations, and by the natives of
„he Copper River area who testi
fied they derive an annual income
of around $150,000 in fur, fish and
game from the area. Withdrawal of
.he land for the Army Would have
closed it to all public use.
As an alternate, the Bureau of
Land Management suggested for
the Army another land area of
<Lout the same size cast of the
^jghardson highway and north of
the Salona river in a triangle to
,he junction of the Tok-Richard
son highways. This section, Berlin
,aid, was not used by the Copper
.liver natives and would be suit
able for the Army’s purposes. It is
also comparatively poor in fur, fish
and game.
Following the numerous protests
Army officials decided to “hold in
ibejance” its requests for the Gul
kana section pending examination
of other areas in the same general
vicinity suitable to its use and more
xgreeable to the public.
Berlin visited Kodiak, Anchorage
and Fairbanks reviewing survey
parties and programs in the field
and administering personnel over
as much area of Alaska as
possible to accomplish maximum
i mount of work during the summer
,eason.
In Fairbanks he represented the
Bureau of Land Management of
Commencement exercises at the
University of Alaska.
