HOMERS ARE
SWATTED OUT,
P. (. LEA6UE
By Associated Press
The home run is mighty and
prevails in the Pacific Coast League.
Home runs — 30 of 'em in 28
games, are edging Stan Hack’s Los
Angeles club toward first place in
the standing, while Portland, pace
setter from the start, is showing
signs of faltering and has now
dropped five straight.
Two booming homers by Max
West, who used to fashion them
for San Diego, drove in five Los
Angeles runs last night as the An
gels turned back the Padres, 6 to 3.
Home runs by Jack Graham, also
a former San Diegan, and Catcher
Ray Orteig gave San Francisco the
series opener over Portland, 7 to 1.
Portland’s run was a homer, too,
delivered in the fifth by Marv
Dierks. '
Frank Kelleher hit a homer for
Hollywood at Seattle but the Rain
iers took a 4 to 3 decision on the
head first sliding of Outfielder Jim
Rivera. He stole home on ponderous
Pinky Woods after he had singled,
gone to second on a wild throw of
his hit and taken third on an in
field out. Hollywood had a chance
to win the ball game in the sixth
with the bases jammed. Lou String
er singled in two runs but Rivera
fired the ball in to start a double
play that caught Ed Sauer going
from second to third and Stringer
trying to make second. Kelleher
then hit his homer — with the bases
empty.
Sacramento and Oakland were
balked by rain.

Russians
May Enter
Olympics
NEW YORK, April 25 —(tft—Rus
sia has posed some mighty absorb
ing questions by clearing the way
to compete in the 1952 Olympic
games.
Does this mean that the Kremlin
has decided there is little likelihood
of world war next year?
Does this mean that Russian ath
letes can now compete on a par
with the world’s best?
There is no way to answer the
first question positively, but it can
be safely assumed that Soviet
sports stars will not enter inter
national competition unless they are
confident they will show up well
against the athletes from the de
mocracies.
It also can be safely assumed that
if Russians compete, American in
terest in the games will be at the
highest pitch ever,
Russia has been flirting with the
Olympic games ever since World
War II ended, and there was some
expectation the Soviet might com
pete at London in 1948 but nothing
came of it.
Last night on the Elks alleys in a I
special doubles match between Erv
Hagerup and Joe Snow vs. John
Stout and John Scott after three

WERLE HURLS
PIRATES FOR
WIN STREAK
By Associated Press
Every time Willie Werle saunters
to the mound for Pittsburgh he in
creases Branch Rickey’s reputation
as a master judge of players.
It was back in 1949 that Rickey,
j then head of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
[ offered $200,000" for the lefthand re
lief specialist. The Pirates disdain
I ed the offer. And is Rickey thank
ful. Branch, of course, is now gen
eral manager of the Bucs.
Funny thing, Werle wasn’t worth
a plugged nickel in spring training.
In some 30 innings he was man
I handled for something like 40 hits
, and 20 runs. But once they started
[ playing for keeps, he quickly began
| to look like a million bucks.
He’s been in four of the Pirates
six contests and Pittsburgh has won
them all. He saved three and receiv
| ed credit for the other.
Werle came to the rescue of start
er Vernon Law yesterday, holding
the Cubs scoreless for two innings
to preserve Pittsburgh’s 6-4 victory
in Chicago.
Tied for 2nd Place
The victory tied Pittsburgh with
Chicago for second place, a half
game behind the National League
leading Dodgers, who were beaten,
7-4, by the Boston Braves in Brook
lyn. The Cardinals edged into the
first division with a 3-1 win over
I Cincinnati in St. Louis. The Phillies
handed the New York Giants their
sixth straight loss with a 6-4 vic
tory under the Philadelphia lights.
Feller In Form
Bob Feller kept the Indians in
first place in the American League,
stopping the surprising Chicago
White Sox, 5-2, in Cleveland. Run
ner-up Washington remained a half
game behind, upsetting the Red Sox,
7-5, in Boston’s Fenway Park. The
defending champion Yankees,' be
hind the four-hit pitching of steady
Eddie Lopat, shut out the Phila
delphia Athletics, 2-0, in New York,
to retain third place. Detroit and
the St. Louis Browns were rained
out.
Sid Gordon’s three run homer off
Reliefer Carl Erskine helped Boston
come from behind to snap the Dodg
er five-game winning streak. Max’
Surkont went the route for his sec
ond victory.

DICK KEITHAHN IS
. HIGH SCORE MAN
AT RIFLE SHOOT
—
Shooting 30.06 rifles, Dick Keith
ahn was outstanding marksman
Sunday in the final shoot for the
year of the Juneau high school's
rifle club. His score was 59 out of
i possible 60 prone, and 23 out of
25 off hand.
The club's members climaxed the
year's achievement by an all day
shoot at the big bore rifle range,
complete with hot dogs, potato sal
ad, baked beans, butterhorns, ice
cream and coffee. Sore shoulders
and a delightful time were the re
wards of all who participated. One
thousand rounds were Tired.
Gil Eido, Bud Boddy, Ed Zeigler
and Art Skinner instructed while
Mrs. Chris Wyller, Mrs. Eide and
Mrs. Pauline Whitaker aided in the
offee making.
1 h; club's fifty members have
;hot 40,000 rounds of ammunition
luring this season's activities, Gil
Zide, instructor said. They have
taken part in two matches of na
ior.al competition, the National
Rifle Association tournament, which
s shot over a four months’ period,
uid the William Randolph Hearst
.ournament, which is shot against
all types of clubs, Including the
military. Results of the NRA tour
ney are not yet known but notifi
cation of placement has been re
ceived from the Hearst match.
Out of the 162 teams participa
ting in this division, Roys’ team
No. 1 composed of Dick Keithahn,
Jarl Weidman, Dick Forrest, Jay
Osterman and Don Morrison, pla
ced 39th. Girls’ team No. 1, com
posed of Lynn Bodding, Lois Law
rence, Betty Mantyla, Mary Whit
aker and Ann Henning placed 50th.
Boys’ team No. 2, Fred Wyller Jerry
Hill, Gerald Shaw, Tom Morgan
and George Messerschmidt, placed
12nd and girls’ team No. 2. Aileen
Kronquist, Adaline Barlow, Janet
Schultz, Anne Parsons, and Connie
Williams, placed 102nd.
Eide said qualifications necessary
.o obtain rankings in marksman
ship are:
Pro-Marksman, Marksman,
Marksman first class, Sharpshoot
3r and Bar 1: a score of 20, 25, 30,
35 and 40 respectively out of a pos
sible 50 in any position.
Bars II, III, and IV: scores of
30, 35 and 40 fired from sitting po
sition: Bars V, VI and VII: shots in
kneeling position with 30, 35 and
10 points needed out of a possible
50; Bars VIII and IX require scores
of 30 and 35 offhand (standing po
sition.)
Qualifications for Expert Rifle
man: 10 targets with minimum
score of 40, standing position. Dis
.inguished Rifleman (highest qual
ification possible in junior shoot
ing), 40 targets, 10 from each pos
ition with a maximum of 18 out1 of
20 on each bull of a 5 bull target
for prone and sitting, and 16 out
jf 20 for each bull in kneeling
and offhand. Most difficult part
af this qualification Eide pointed
out, is the consistency required of
the shooter. For example, in off
hand, the shooter must have 16
on each of the 5 bulls on his tar
jet. If he should get 20 on 4 bulls,
and 15 on the fifth, the target is
no good.
A list of the qualifications earned
by members of the high school
Rifle Team follows:
