27TH HOMER
TO LEAD P(L|
(By the Associated Press)
The Oakland Acprns, comfortably j
leading the Pacific Coast League by j
seven games, can attribute much of j
their eminence to the keystone com- i
bination of shortstop Artie Wilson
and second baseman Bobby Hof
man.
Probably tlie slickest midfield duo
in the league, fhe pair also, pack
pleAty of authority at the plate. Last
night the veteran Wilson, defending
j2(PtlL batting champion, poled a
triple and a single, while the youth
ful Hottiaa whacked two doubles
and a single to paee the Oaks to
an 8 to’fhyln over San Francisco.
The needed the win to
preserve their margin as second-;
place San piego defeated Portland, |
6-4, and’Hollywood took Los An-;
geles by 8-4. Sacramento at Seattle
was rained' out and will be played
as a doubleheader tomorrow.
Oakland gilt-edged ' its victory
with a six-run outburst in the fifth, j
but needed a tally off reliefer A1,
Lien in the eighth to break a 7-7 |
tie. Forrest Thompson drew the win. i
Max West hit his 20th homer and '
Suitcase Simpson slammed a double 1
and two singles to lead San Diego. |
A1 Jurislch posted the victory. Joe ,
Brovia and Fenton Mole homered
for Portland. It was No. 27 for
Brovia, PCL leader.

FIGHI DOPE

BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 16—W—Joe
Louis’ stock rose sharply today fol
lowing Ezzard Charles' one-sided
but lacklustre conquest of Freddie
Beshore.
A "new'’ Charles was supposed to
be unveiled in Memorial Auditorium
last night but it was the same old
cautious Ezzy in action. The NBA
heavyweight champion, who made
good in his third title defense by
stopping Beshore in 2:53 of the 14th
frame, certainly wasn't a “tiger.”
The comebacking Brown Bomber
and Charles are tentatively sched
uled to have it out in Yankee Sta
dium, Sept, 27. The fight is not yet
officially sealed, but it seems a cer
tainty to be held.
Louis already has started prelim
inary training in West Baden, Ind.
Charles, who suffered a slight cut
over his right eye last night, said
he will be ready to resume work
again in a couple of weeks.
When discussions first got under
way about a Louis-Charles scrap,
the experts’ consensus was that
Charles would be a big favorite to
outstab and outrun the aging, one
time destroyer.
After last night, the Bomber’s
stock soared.
One wag remarked that “Charles
hits singles. Louis hits homers."
The 29-year-old Charles hit only
singles during most,of last night’s
scheduled 15-rounder. He never was
able to floor the 26-year old Penn
sylvania Dutchman from Harris
burg, who outweighed Charles 184 Vi
to 183’,.
Referee Felix halted the fray
when blood streamed from a nasty
cut on Beshore’s right ear and while
the aggressive, game challenger was
taking a good shellacking from the
champion.
Ship, Shank, Shutter
Club Makes Plans
For Saturday Trip
A large group of the “Shank,
Ship and Shutter” club is expected
to make the trip Saturday morn
ing under the leadership of Ed
Peyton. They will leave in taxis
Saturday morning at eight o’clock
for Thane, and will then hike to
Camp Six where they wall make
their headquarters. The hike is
not a difficult one, and Mr. Peyton
plans to take the group on some
leisurely explorations to Mt. Haw
thorne. Those who wish to do so
may stay over night in Camp Six
where bunks are available for a
limited number.' The men are
urged to bring sleeping bags.
Hikers will bring only one lunch.
Mr. Peyton is providing the food
for the other meals, with the group
paying the cost. This will be prob
ably one of the most enjoyable
hikes of the year, both because it
will not be too difficult and because
of the scenery and views that will
be possible. Reservations must be
made by calling Caroline Hc*if,
phone 874. in order that prepar
ations may be made. The trip will
be made regardless of the weather.
Phils Increase
Lead, 6 Games
(By the Associated Press)
A difference of $5,000 once kept
Johnny Groth from wearing a
Cleveland uniform. Today the In
dians would pay that sum many
times over just to get him out of
their hair.
Since jdining the Detroit Tigers
two years ago, Groth has ipade a
career out of belting Cleveland
pitching. If the first place Tigers
beat the Indians to the wire it can
be traced directly to Groth’s bat
ting feats against the club that once
spurned him.
It wasn’t Groth’s fault that the
Tigers got no better than an even

break in their two games with the (
Tribe. The young outfielder slam
med a home run in each game. His
circuit clout yesterday came with
the bases loaded. The Tigers didn't
need any more to defeat Bob Lemon
and the Indians. 4-1.
Since the western rivals must face i
each other seven more times this ]
season, the Indians may have more
reminders fcf their blunder of 1946.1
That was the year Cleveland let
Groth slip away.
Groth's gfand slammer was all Art j
Houtteman needed to gain his 15th J
victory, although he faltered in the
seventh when he walked the first j
two batters to face him. Marlin i
Stuart took over.
The New York Yankees split a
doubleheader with Washington to
move two percentage points in front
of Cleveland in their race for sec- j
ond place. Washington won the
opener, 10-5. The Yankees took the \
second, 9-0,
Boston's Red Sox moved within j
seven games of the top, taking two |
from the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-3
and 9-4.
Phillies Win Over Boston
Philadelphia increased its Na
tional League lead over Boston to
six games, defeating the Braves, 9-1.
Brooklyn climbed to within three
percentage points of Boston with
a 1-0 triumph over the New York
Giants. Chicago’s Cubs tallied twice j
in the eighth inning to dump the !
St. Louis Cards, 3-2. Pittsburgh ral- j
lied for six runs in the ninth to j
match Cincinnati’s total in the top
of the inning and outscored the
Reds, 10-9. Ralph Kiner clubbed his
33rd homer for the fiucs.
Curt Simmons won his 15th game
for Philadelphia, with the help of
Jim Konstanty in the eighth. It was
the 53rd relief appearance for the
Phillies’ fireman.
The Red Sox double victory was
dimmed by an accident to Walt
Dropo, their sensational rookie first
baseman. Dropo suffered a cerebral
concussion when ’ beaned" by Hank
Wyse in the first game. X-rays
showed no fracture. He is expected
back in the lineup within a few
days.
The Chicago White Sox and St.
Louis Browns were not scheduled.
. SOFTBALL
In a softball game Monday
played between the Town Criers
and an all star team picked from
the second, third and fourth pla'ce
winners of the Juneau softball
'eague found the mighty Criers
away out in front by a score of 15
to 3.
Two . homeruns were knocked,
both by Town Criers men. The
first of the evening was a mighty
blast by the Criers chubby catcher
Tom Powers. This was the longest
homerun knocked by a batter
swinging from the port side. The
Ball hit over the rock wall in right
field and with one bounce hit the
swimming pool fence with a bang.
The second homerun was rapped
out hy right fielder Chuck Knipplj
who also swings from the port side.
His blast landed between the lelt
fielder and centerfielder which gave
him plenty of time to round the
bases.
Battery for the Criers were Pow
ers, catcher and Sperl, pitcher. For
the All-Stars Mueller, catcher and
Jacobs, pitcher.
The next game between the Criers
and a picked team will be at 7 p.m.
Thursday evening at the Evergreen
Bowl. The Criers have accepted an
invitation to play in Haines on
Labor Day and are looking forward
to this trip.

JACKIE ROBINSON
SAYS BROOKLYN
WILL TRADE HIM
BROOKLYN, Aug. 16—UPI—Jackie '
Robinson, famed negro second base
man of the Brooklyn Dodgers, said
today ‘ I won't be surprised if I’m
traded to some other club before
the start of the 1951 season.”
Robinson gave this opinion amid
indications of rising tension on the
Brooklyn team, such as can be ex
pected on a championship club
favored to win the pennant but
now lagging six and a half games
behind.
“I can’t tell you any more,"
Robinson said to an Associated
Press reporter. “It may be no more
than a hunch. I've just got the
feeling. That’s all.”
ALOHA WEEK IN
HAWAII WILL BE
OBSERVED SOON
Believing that Hawaii's brotherly
spirit of aloha is now needed more
than ever throughout the world,
the many nationalities that make
up Hawaii are redoubling their ef
forts to make this year’s Aloha
Week celebration the greatest in
its four-year history.
Aloha Week, an annual festival
intended to recreate the rich lore
of the islands with uncompromising
authenticity, will be held from Oct
ober 22 to 29, according to Pan
American World Airways, which an
nually flies thousands of pleasure
seekers to the Islands. Although a
central committee manages the cel
ebration. there is hardly a perstlh
on any of Hawaii’s principal islands
that dobs not take some part in it,
if only to purchase a gay ribbon
identifying the wearer as an Aloha
Week member.
The spirit of the week is all
encompassing. Residents in every
walk of life sport their most color
ful garments, notably the bright
aloha shirt and the equally vivid
muumuu, or Hawaiian Mother Hub
bard. Set against a background of
sunny kiss and multi-hued floweris
and verdure, the scene is lavish.
Visitors arriving at this season,
known as the Makahiki, or Ha
waiian Thanksgiving, are assured of
teeing Hawaii at the height of Its j
beaming tropical geniality. For
here, as a local poet expressed It,
“laughter is big and brown and
fat and wears a coconut hat.”
Normal traffic comes to a halt
and routine life pauses as the
Events of Aloha Week pass In gala
pioees.-ion. Pageantry passes in
review not only by land but also
by water. Natives costumed in the
robes end helmets of the ancient
alii, or chieftains, are borne ashore
.11 outriggers, the canoes that
brought their forbears to Hawaii
many centuries ago from Tahiti
and other lands.
The arrival of the alii in this
manner is the formality that sets
i he Aloha Week program in mo
tion. Throughout ilie festival week,
celebrants on the principal Islands
: Oahu (Honolulu!, Hawaii. Maul,
Molokai and Kauai express the
, nit of Hawaii in floral and lan
t:n parades,* song and hula pr6
l .tats, sports contests and the great
Hawaiian feast, the luau.
Typical ancient village life is
d.picted and native craft displayed
in he peiinanent Hawaiian Village
■ t up since the first Aloha Vraek
n 1S47 in Honolulu's Ala Moana
Park.
A water pageant entitled "T?.e
period of Migration,” a racial
drama av.d marionette shows based
cn Hawaiian legend are among a
i.umber of netib, attractions planned
for this year. Also for the first
time. Aloha Week will be inaugur
ated with a sunrise service on the
opening Sunday and will be con
cluded the following Sunday with a
night Makahiki ceremony.
Interest in Aloha Week has
mounted from year to year and is
now so wide-sprPad that inquiries
received by the committee have
corns from such widely sperated
places as Hong Kong and Madrid.
Preparations are being made to
welcome perhaps the largest num
ber of visitors ever attending Aloha
Week.
Pan American is distributing
special literature on Aloha Wee?:
r.nd making preparations to ac
commodate an unusual flow of
tourist traffic.
The island's 40-odd hotels like
wise look to Aloha Week to con
tinue tlie full registrations they
have been enjoying all year, but all
express confidence that they will be
able to provide quarters for all
visitors planning reasonably well'
in advance.
KOREAN TOWN IS !
NO MAN'S LAND

By 1IAL BOYLE
WITH U. S. FORCES IN KOR
EA. Thursday. Aug. 17—Wt—1The
one-time city of Waegwan, focal
point of the war in Korea, was
a ruined no-mans-land today.
If anyone holds it he is in an
uncomfortable position, to say the
least. For a week or so U. 3.
First Cavalry units and North Kor
ean Reds both have sent patrols
into the city.
After the B-29's delivered their
saturation load of bombs on the
Waegwan sector, the First Cavalry
sent a tank into the fairly large
city to look it over.
The American tank knocked out
a Red tank on the city's edge and
chased another into the north. The
runway Red vehicle seemed to be
making at least 40 miles an hour.
