Rainiers in
Double Win of
Sunday Games
(By Associated Press)
The Pacific Coast League seldom
does things by halves.
There was nary a split yesterday
as Oakland, San Diego, San Fran
cisco and Seattle swept double head- j
ers. j
League-leading Oakland retained
its 5',!>-game margin over San Diego. I
thanks largely to Bobby Hufman,!
who clouted a homer in each game,
the second breaking a 3-3 tie to give
the Acorns a 4-3 nightcap decision
over Los Angeles. The Oaks took the
opener, 8-4, as George Metkovich
and Frank Baumholtz also homered.
Maumholtz, the high-flying An
gel bidding for a .400 batting mark,
got six hits in seven trips.
San Diego got a three-hit 2-0
shutout from George Zuverink in
the seven-inning affair, then wallop
ed Sacramento, 6-1, over the regula
tion route behind Hal Saltzman’s
five-hitter.
San Francisco two-timed Holly
wood, 8-4, and 2-0, on slick south
pawing by Ted Savarese and A1
Lien. The former, a rookie who looks
something like old Tony Freitas, ex
Sacramento ace, took his second
straight since coming up from Ta
coma.
Hector Brown and Jim Davis were
Seattle’s winners against Portland,
6-4, and 9-0. Davis posted a five
hit whitewash over the short route.
The Beavers’ Luiz Marquez got
orders to report to his draft board
in Puerto Rico. The 24-year-old ace
of the Portland outfield will leave
today and may be lost to the club
for a week or more.
Series winners were Oakland, Se
attle, San Diego and Hollywood.

IN FUG RACE
(By Associated Press)
Credit Boston's bounce-back into
flag contention to the re-discovery
of a long lost" secret weapon—com
ing from behind.

thing that was a lost art to the Red
Sox earlier this year—plus a two
week stay at friendly Fenway Park
have combined to rekindle the pen
nant spark in the hearts of loyal
Boston rooters.
The Red Sox picked up a half
game on the league leaders yesterday
catching up with the league leaders
at a furious pace. Twelve victories
in the last 13 games have helped
Boston cut a once seemingly insur

game on the league leaders yester
day when they overcame a 7-0 Cleve
land lead to defeat the Indians, 11-9,

session of second place.
The defending champions eked out
a 2-1 victory in 10 ipnings over the
Chicago White Sox to cut Detroit’s
first place margin to one game.
Cleveland trails by two.
The Indians appeared to have the
game safely stowed away when 12
men came to bat in the third against
starter Willard Nixon and Jim Mc
Donald and seven of them scored.
Tommy Henrich hit a pinch single
with one out and bases loaded in
the 10th inning to win for the Yank
I ees.
j Sam Chapman s 22nd home run
with a mate aboard in the eighth
| inning spoiled young Ray Herbert’s
[ major league debut as the A’s came
from behind to defeat the Tigers
in the first game. Art Houtteman
notched his 17th triumph in the se
cond.
Washington and St. Louis split
a doubleheader. After Joe Haynes
. had pitched the Nats to an 8-0 first
! game win in the opener the Browns
j won the second game, 11-10.
Philadelphia’s Phillies increased
their National League lead to five
games over Brooklyn, defeating the
Chicago Cubs, 6-1, while the St.
Louis Cardinals were battering the
Dodgers, 13-3.

11-inning 4-4 tie in the second game

Golf Champ
By Charles Chamberlain
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 28— <*l —
! Sammy Urzetta, with his set of doc
tored up gold clubs bought from
caddie money, is a champion’s cham
pion.
After the 24-year-old son of an im

the 50-year-history of the National
Amateur meet. Stranahan’s drive
went out of bounds and he eventu
ally missed a 10 foot putt to take
a 6 on the final hole. Urzetta's tee
! shot was in a trap, he was short in
2, but was on with this third for
two putts and a winning par 5.
Urzetta, was even pr for the dis
tance and Stranahan ws one over.

NAMES DRAWN TO
HUNT AFOGNAK ELK,
BIG DELTA BISON
Only one Southeast Alaska hunt
er applied for a special permit to
hunt elk on Afognak Island under
the limited provisions of the Al
aska game laws, and he will not be
able to do so unless ten men from
Kodiak and Anchorage change their
minds.
Lou A. Hudson of Juneau is that
one hunter—the only one from
these parts of the 79 applicants
to the Alaska Game Commission. As
the 1950 game laws specify that only
50 hunters will be licensed for the
Afognak season, applicants’ names
were drawn from a hat this morn
ing, to determine impartially which
licenses would be issued. Hudson
is the tenth alternate. All other ap
plicants are residents to the west
ward. Names of 20 alternates were
drawn.
The name of A. J. Cichoskl was
the first drawn. •Tiny,” who is a
good 6 foot 5 tall, is a well-known
Kodiak hunter.
Object of the special hunt is to
remove 50 useless bulls from the
herd which was estimated at 212
| animals in the 1948 count. Alognak
was stocked with eight elk in 1929.
The drawing to decide which 25
hunters will be licensed to shoot
bison in the Big Delta area left the
season strictly in the hands of
sportsmen from Kodiak. Anchorage
and other places to the westward.
Even the seven Cordova applicants
and one Valdez hunter were left
out. No Southeast Alaska hunters
were among the 295 men and women
who applied.
me name oi uonstani «. Morsu,
Fairbanks, was the first drawn.
Between October 1 and 15—the
same season as that for elk on Af
ognak—limited hunting of bison
i will be permitted in the Big Delta
[ buffalo refuge, as provided in Sec
tion 165.2 of the game laws,
i This hunt will be to remove 25
surplus, old, non-breeding bulls.
Hunters will be acompancied by
Game Commission agents, who will
designate the animals.
The special hunt is one of two
measures to reduce the herd at Big
Delta, where the winter range has
been seriously overgrazed and bison
are interfering with Army opera
tions. The other program is to trans
plant some young stock to the Up
per Copper River as nucleus of a
new herd. In 1928, the district was
stocked with 23 bison. The 1948
count showed 325 animals.
The drawing was yesterday morn
ing in the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service office, Federal Building.
Gov. Ernest Gruening and Re
gional Forester B. Frank Heintzle
man drew numbers corresponding
[ to those which identified the appli
i cations. The numbers were in a big
! Thlingit hat made of spruce root,
! the hat brought from the Territor
1 ial Museum by Curator Edward L.
Keithahn.
W. A. (Bud) Elkins, FWS Wild
life Management suervisor, was in
charge of the little ceremony, and
Miss June Eliason assisted. With
the Governor and Heintzleman,
they were photographed at their
work by J. Malcolm Greany.
