> (By1 Associated Press)"
Detroit's pennrtnt-hungry1 Tiger
and New York’s defending cham
pions faced one of the big moments
of the season today as they clashed
in the opened of ah all-impOrtant
three-game series at Yankee Stad
ium.
With the pennant possibly riding
on each, pitch, both managers—Red
Rolfe of the Tigers and Casey Sten
gel of the Yankees—are shooting
with the best available.
Stengel nominated Allie Reynolds
(10-11) his clutch pitcher, in an ef
fort to get off in front. Rolfe count
ered with Hal White (4-4), who shut
out the Bombers the last time he
faced them.
Vic Ranchi, and Tommy Byrn.e will
follow Reynolds on the hill in' sub
sequent ganjes, If, is pfed
ed, TTpm Ferfjck anc} jpePage will
be in thq bullpen, ,weli' rested and,
ready for the call.
Rolfe intends to use Art Houtte
man, pis. a,ce, in the second game.
Houtteipan already has beaten the
Yankees four times. The red-thatch
ed pilot was undecided on his third
pitches, but it is expected Re will
give . F[red Hutching the fflU.
The two rivals met two weeks ago
in Detroit in a virtual first place tie.
The Tigers proceeded to whip the
Yankees three straight.
They own a 9-7 season’s edge over
the champions.
Detroit picked up a half game on
the rest of the field yesterday when
they slugged the St, Louis Browns.
7-1, jn the only activity in the junior
circuit.-Dizzy Trout, the “comeback1
kid,” posted his seventh straight tri
umph with a four-hitteer. Al Wid- \
mar was the loser. Vic Wertz and j
Hodt Evers each-slammed a three.- j

Jim Wilson in
Race, Valuable
Player of PCI
By Jim Hulibart
(Associated Press! Sportswriter)
With only seven weeks remaining
in the Pacific Coast League inara-.
thojn, nominations are in order to
day for most valuable player of
the year.
At this stage, it seems as if the
gent who cops the award will answer
to the name of Wilson. Whether
his first, name will be Jim or Artie
probably depends on where you’re
from. Anyway, here are seven likely
candidates and their qualifications:
Jim Wilson, Seattle—he’s the
PCL's only 20 game winner to date.
The stylish right hander won 15 in
a row during the early summer and
came breathlessly close to tying a j
40-year-old retching record. His1
masterful mduhdwork contributed
largely' tb' Sefittle’4 rise from the
cellar*' 'to''the First• Division.
Artie Wilson, Oakland — this
smooth fielding shortstop was the
batting ehatnp last year and oppos- ,
ing pitchers' still lose their hair over
him. HCs Oakland's, leadoff man;1
Jaiigerotis nt the plate, doubly dan
gerous on the Ua.sepayit. He’s the
,-key figure in the Acorn infield.
Frank Ba\im1iMts*mLos Angeles—j
he’ll hit anything, any time, and Iras !
the batting average to prove it. He’s
been the loop’s leading swatter al- j
most since the start of the cam
paign and seems a cinch to wind up :
that way. Without Baumholtz. the |
Angeles would probably be in last ,
place today. (
Max Surkont. Sacramento— this
workhorse pitcher was so good the
Boston Braves grabbed him at con- j
siderable expense. He left the POL
with an 18-13 record, and this with I
the basement team. With a first
division .outfit, Bil Max might easily j
have won 30 games.
Le$ Fleming, "San Francisco—Mr.
Clutdh Hitpej; hii^q^ has/b*t,ted in
more runs tjat^Oft i
oifcuit. ThallSf irsy^s^-an }jas j
an uhcann*#facudl>i-.foi: tuppiliga’cm

FISH SURVEY FINDS
NO SALMON, BUT LOTS
OF TOOTHY TOWNIES’
A weekend aerial survey of stream'
on Admiralty, Baranof and Chica
go! islands failed , to reveal ttjr
presence of pink salmon in any
numbers, according to Richard Shu
man, fisheries biologist for the Fish
and Wildlife Service. '
"There are no fish,” he said, "and
furthermore, no hopes of any.'-'
The few pink' Which came Into,
this area made ft /home" before
the season opened, with nope ijiapd,
he said.
C. Howard Baltro. assistant re~
g;onal director of the .service, /was>
due to leave toda^ for a similar twtrf
vey of the southern area of fhv;
sector, he said, and 'A 1*6 to eorifjr.r.e
notes with ground erewfi watching
streams. , ' :.h
Only thing Shuman found were
thousands of “sand fish”—tough
locking little fellows with long sharp
teeth and lantern jaws, milling
around in a trap which he stopped
to look at. .
The little fish led into the trap i
and stayed there, t although they
could easily have departed the big !
mesh—they themselves were only a j
few inches long. But like anv suck-.
er, they remained to be brailled out j
along with the big salmon,
Shuman had never seen a “sand j
fish” before and brought a,few back
wit^ him, and spent several hours,
Sunday leafing through a biology
book to find a pioture of one. The
book says they grow up to 12 inqhes j
in length. . ■ ■>■ t

In a scheduled Monday might soft
ball game between the .Town Griers <
and a picked All star ■ team ut.. the, t
Evergreen Bowl the contest .ended j
..fier eight innings due to darkness.
The final score was Town Criers 26,
the All-Stabs 6.
When the game started It looked
as if the Criers were in for a tough
night, but after the third inning j
the bats of the powerful Criers be
'gan to rap out hit after hit until1
they batted around the lineup in
two different innipgg.. _ „ ,
A good crowd was on hand to wit
ness this contest, and two of the
Town Criers gave outstanding per- J
formances. Walt Sperl. the Criers
regular pitcher had a little trouble ;
on the mound with his control at
times, but made up for it at the
bat. He pounded out five hits of j
which-.two-were homeruns. His first^
homerun was a record breaking j
smash for a right hander which;
landed in the second tennis court.
TJiis breaks, the record held by the |
right hand swinger Bergeron of the ,
ACS who earlier in the season plac- .
ed one at the center Strip of the first
court.
The other outstanding player was
Svari (Little Giant} Scott, the Criers
regular centerfielder. At bat he
knocked out five lrits and out.“in the
field stopped base runners c^ld with
his speedy fielding arid-'’accurate
throwing, He caught a low linedrive (
over second base and doubled a
runner off second. Later on Hi Lite j
game he fielded a smashing single I
pn the dead, t rpp and i tl)iew put
Mueller, speedy All-Star catcher,,
(who took off from second and tried ’
jfp. make it home:
Battery for the Criers were Tom i
powers, catcher and Walt Sperl,!
pitcher. For the All-Stars, Mueller,
patcher and Lowell Trump, pitcher.
The next meeting of., these t\yo
'teams will be Thursday night at 7
ij.m. in the Evergreen Bowl.

ALASKA KING SAIMON
NEARLY BREAKS NEW 1
LONG-DISTANCE MARK
Another far-finning Alaska king
abnon, tagged off Hoktaheen, near ;
Cape Speneer, has all hut equalled I
the new world's .distance record, j
according to P. L. Anderson, direc-!
tor ct the Alaska Department of (
Fisheries.
The 'fiSh had travelled 1,037 miles
when it was caught by the crew
cf the trolling boat Betty K. near
Cape Lookout. Ore,, August 10. The
tag was j-fetufneA to (he fisheries
dtpartujen{! tpday. ’
It wgs tagged by Robert p. Park-,
er, fisheries biqlogist, May 27 as i
part of the research program into j
the habits of troll salmon which is j
being carried out by the fisheries I
department. Another salmon tag-1
ge'd by Parkdr brokey.be old world's
record of 1,000 miles August 3 wh£$
it swam to EL Helens, Ore., tzfim
the waters off Hoktaheen—a dis
tance, of 1,1 CO miles.
While Alaska king salmon wine
traveling far,'tag refurrts froth stl
ver sklmon indicated that the co
hoes move from the ocean to
spawning grounds in Southeast Al
aska, Anderson said.
However, he pointed out that'j
the research program lias not pro- j
gressed far enough to show defin
itely the movements of the cohoes'
"I think we can say, though, that
the cohoes don’t roam as much as
the kings,” he stated.
