RAINIER! IN
FOURTH SPOT
ONCE AGAIN
(By the Associated Press)
If the Hollywood Stars don't watch j
their hits and pitches somebody’s |
liable to bop them out of third place, !
or even out of the first division in
the Pacific Coast League.
Manager Fred Haney’s defending .
champions led the league the first t
half of this season but succumbed j
to Oakland July 12 and later were
passed by San Diego.
The Stars seemed planted, then
in third place but the scramble in
the middle of the race is so tight
thht anything can happen in the
last three weeks of the schedule.
Hollywood descended another step
on the ladder by losing to San Diego
3-1 last night.
This left the Stars only three
games ahead of the fourth place
Seattle Rainiers, who took that spot
away from San Francisco, again,
by beating Los Angeles 9-5 while
the Seals were losing to Portland
6-5. Oakland took a slugfe.st from
last place Sacramento 10-7.
With Seattle only a half game
ahead of San Francisco, and the
latter but three games atop Port
land, there are now only 6’i game
between third place Hollywood and
sixth place Portland.
Jim Baxes’ 400-foot score-tying
homer was Hollywood’s lone effort
last night, nullified when San Di
ego's Harry Simpson smacked a two
run double. Red Embree held the
Stars to lour hits.
Seattle put on an 11-hit attack
aided by six walks, to whack the
Angels. Three-run clusters in the
second and sixth were really all the
Rainiers needed.
Four Portland homers, by Jim
Gladd, Mickey Rocco and two bj
Joe Brovia, his 36th and 37th thi;
year, were too much power for Sar.
Francisco. The Seals went down
threatening, however, with a four
run rally in the ninth, stopped by
relief pitcher Bill Fleming.

FLAG RACE
IS HOTTER IN
AMER. LEAS.
(By the Associated Press)
The American League had a brand
new race going today with a bunch
of fast-aging players.
New York, Boston and Detroit
were only a half game apart with
only 12 days to go in the tense battle
for World Series loot.
1 he pace-setting Yanks fell within
a whisper of the runners-up last
ni ht by losing to Chicago 4-3.
Detroit belted out Philadelphia,
12-4, in a day game and Boston
was rained out in Cleveland to set
up the tie for second place.
So here's the way the three teams
stood going into today’s three
fronted action:
VV L GH GL
New York . 90 53 — 11
Be ton . 89 53 'a 12
Delroit . 89 53 'a 12
Games Today
Today it was New York at Chi
eaco, Philadelphia at Delroit and
Boston at Cleveland, the last a
doi.bleheader. Players can be
counted on to give the scoreboard as
much attention as they do the op
po :ng pitchers.
Yesterday’s firing brought near
disaster to New York, new hope for
Dc.i'oit and rest for Boston’s rub
ber-armed relief ace, Ellis Kinder.
r esides losing a game they almost
had won, the Yanks temporarily
lost the services of Vic Raschi, their
10-' ame ace. The crack righthander,
.vho pitched an inning of relief last
Sunday to save a game against the
Browns, was riding a 3-2 lead for
d'j innings when he complained
his arm “didn’t feel right.”
Tom Ferrick, a demon rescue
worker until recently, failed in the
Clu ch again. Chico Carrasquel
nicked him for a single and Gus
Nirrhos, the former Yank, doubled
him to third. With two out Nelson
Fox blasted a triple to center to
drive in the tying and winning runs.
The Yanks had gone ahead 3-2 on
Joe DiMaggio’s 31st homer and Yogi
Berra’s 24th four-bagger, the lat
ter’s a two-run blow. Chicago south
paw Bob Cain yielded only four hits.
Detroit Lineup Changed
In Detroit where Red Rolfe re
shuffled his lineup, the Tigers’
spirits soared. Hoping to get more
attack in his lineup, Rolfe sent in
Charlie Keller, Pat Mullin and Dick
Kryhoski to replace Vic Wertz, Hoot
Evers and Don Kolloway. The
change worked.
Keller, the ex-Yankee, answered
he bell like an old firehorse, pow
sring two homers, two singles and
driving in five runs. Mullin blasted
out a homer and double.
Washington nipped St. Louis 5-3
in the other American League con
test.
National League
In the quiet of the National
League race, Boston moved a full
game up on Philadelphia by nip
ping St, Louis 7-6 while the Phils
were clipped, 1-0, by Chicago.
Brooklyn’s Dodgers also moved up
by whipping Pittsburgh twice, 14-3
and 3-2. The Cincifinati-New York
game was rained out.
Tommy .Holmes’ single with two
out and the bases loaded in the
ninth drove in the winning run for
Boston against St. Louis.
Hank Sauer’s 30th homer in the
fifth and Frank Hiller’s gilt-edged
two-hit pitching beat the Phils and
Robin Roberts. Roberts tossed a
four-hitter himself in a futile quest
for his 20th win. But Hiller was
superb, giving up two singles and

facing only 27 men. A double play
and a run-down erased the hitters.
Brooklyn powered its way to vic
tory with homers. Gil Hodges and
Duke Snider each hit a pair in the
opener to overshadow Ralph Kiner’s
two homers (Nos. 44 and 451.

To the Public
I was very much interested and surprised to read
in the Daily Alaska Empire under date of Sept; 14th,
1950, regarding the Postal Authorities thru the Civil
Aeronautics Board allowing the Alaska Coastal Air
lines to receive a lump sum payment of $30,000.00
and a 60/ increase in the future for mail carrying to
Sitka, Alaska, and Way Ports over and above the
revenue so far received. My inquiry to the Post
Master at Juneau was rewarded by the statement that
she did not have any official notice of the allowance
above stated.
My surprise, I am sure, will be shared by resi
dents of all the communities along this specified route
which for the past fifty years was served by surface
transportation at the total cost to the Postal Depart
ment of approximately $15,000.00 per year; and in
addition theerto the freight was delivered in any
amount offered at a classified rate from $4.00 to
$12.00 per ton instead of dabs and packages at the
rate of $160.00 per ton.
I am sure that it would be interesting to all con
cerned to know what the entire cost is, to replace this
service that was previously done by boat. In addition
to the revenue paid to the Alaska Coastal Airlines car
rying mail, it would be interesting to know the amount
of Tax Payer’s Money expended in building and main
taining (at no expense to the Air Lines) the many
floats and landing facilities served by the mail de
liveries, w'hich are also used exclusively by the Air
Lines for commercial purposes. Nothing of that sort
was provided, expected or anticipated in the boat
service, besides the boat in the past, and expect to in
the future to pay the usual dockage fees at the various
comunities including the starting point, Juneau, Al
aska. In this connection the Capital City of Juneau,
therefore does not have any connection for mail service
by surface transportation on this old established
X’oute.
About one year ago the Island Transportation
Co. of Juneau, Alaska, submitted a bid to the Postal
Department, to carry the same mail and serve these
communities, Bondsmen furnished and qualified, and
as yet we have not been officially notified one way
or the other, or in other words the bid has not been
accepted or rejected, altho the deadline was supposedly
July 1st, 1950. At least one should expect under
Democratic Rule the release of the bondsmen, instead
of keeping them tied up while other concerns are
doing the business for which our bondsmen have
furnished the guarantee.
