RAINIERS IN
ANOTHER WIN
FROM PADRES
(By the Associated Press)
Those Oakland Acorns and Seat
tle Rainiers are still bobbing along
like a cork in the rapids today.
The Oaks boosted their Pacific
Coast League lead to two games by
edging the Stars for the fourth
straight time, 3 to 2. Seattle took a
firmer grip on the No. 3 rung last
night by whipping fourth place San
Diego again, 5 to 3.
But take a look at the lower di
vision. Things were happening there,
too. Portland’s Roy Helser out
lasted Sacramento’s Matt Surkont
in a 1 to 0 pitching duel; Los An
geles laced San Francisco once
more, 5 to 3. All of which put the
Seals and the Beavers in a fifth
place tie.
You walk a man and he beats
you, as Bob Feller used ot say. In
Jack Salveson's case, however, you
walk a man and he beats your
buddy.
Salveson, ace of the Hollywood
mound corps—or what’s left of It—
happened to walk two men in the
fifth inning of the feature attrac
tion at Oakland. One pass was is
sued on the orders from the bench.
Hollywood Manager Fred Haney
wanted the bases loaded for a
double play ball with Oakland
pitcher Earl Harrist as the next
batter.
Harrist foiled the plan by bloop
ing a single into the outfield and
two runs scored.
At San Diego, the Padres nicked
Guy Fletcher for 13 hits, but lost
anyway. The Rainiers hammered
Red Embree for a three run third
and closed out with a two run blast
off Bob Savage in the eighth.

CLEVELAND
PULLING UP;
LEMON IS IT
' (By the Associated Press)
Cleveland is coming strong with
Bob Lemon, top pitcher in the
majors, showing the way.
Good pitch, good hit. That’s the
story of Lemon, high man on the
Tribe totem pole.
Success of the Indians/ mid-sum
mer pennant drive hinges on Rapid
Robert, the Second. No longer is
Bobby Feller the key man with the
Tribe.
Lemo^i became the first major'
leaguer to win 13 games this sea
son with a neat three-hit job j
against the New York Yankees last1
night. His three-run homer in the I
eighth was just an added frill. He j
didn’t need it.
Coming at the start oi Cleve
land’s all-important third eastern
trip, it was a vital 5-1 win lor
the Tribe. They trail Detroit by
five games but now are only a half
game behind the second place
Yanks. Since the Indians hit their
stride June 14, they have won 22 j
of 30. And Lemon has copped six j
of seven, the last five in a row. i
Detroit took advantage of the |
Yankee loss to stretch its lead to
4’^ games on Freddie Hutchinson’s
2-0 job against Washington.
The run-happy Boston Red Sox
came up with their second 11-run
inning of the season while over
whelming Chicago, 13-1. Ellis Kin
der’s five-hitter was his 13th j
straight over the White Sox and
his seventh win.
St. Louis and Philadelphia re
mained in a last-place tie by split- j
ting a twilight-night doubleheader, j
The Browns’ reliever Clarence Mar- j
shall gave Philadelphia the first
game, 3-2, when he walked Sam
Chipman on a 3-2 count with the
bases full in the ninth. Homers by
Roy Sievers, Owen Friend and Don
Lenhardt carried the Brownies to a
5-2 second game win.
The Cardinals tightened the Na
tional League race,.drawing within
one game of Philadelphia with a
4-2 victory over the Phils. It may
have been a costly win for St. Louis
because Stan Musial left the game
with a wrenched knee and pitcher
Harry Brecheen retired with a sore
left arm.
Erv Palica, a refugee from the <
Dodger bullpen, pitched his second
straight five-hit win for Brooklyn
to shutout Chicago, 1-0.
Rookie catcher Del Crandall, get
ting a second chance because of
Walker Cooper’s ankle injury, in
four runs with a homer and double |
in Boston’s 6-4 edge over Cincin- ■
nati.
Ralph Kiner socked his 25th
homer, a double and triple but his
Pittsburgh club lost to New York,
7-5. The Giants scored all seven
runs in the first inning to snap
the Pirates’ three-gfvne win streak.

3 Air Bases
Maintained
In Aleutians
WASHINGTON, July 15 — (if) —
The Defense Department said today
it will keep in operation three air
bases in the Aleutian Islands—
Shemya, Cold Bay and Adak.
It notified Senator Magnuson (D
Wash.) of i's reversal of an earlier
decision to close them.
Htfagnuson told a reporter the
bases, which provide the shortest
route to Tokyo, were to have been
closed for economy reasons but
that the situation in Korea had
caused a change in the plans.
Shemya which has cost $100,001,
000, is 1,500 miles from Fairbanks
and 2,000 miles from Tokyo. Mag
nuson said it is 2.000 miles shorter
than the mid-Pacific route via
Honolulu.
PAA CONTEMPLATES
NO CHANGE IN LINE
SERVICE AT PRESENT
SEATTLE, July 15—Wl—No major
reduction oi services to or in Al
aska is presently contemplated by
Pan American World Airways,
spokesmen for the airline said to
day. Despite increasing military
airlift demands, none of the Alaska
clippers has been sent to the Pac
ific.
“So far, we have been able to
handle our airlift commitments
with aircraft transferred from the
Atlantic and Latin America,” PAA
officials said.
“While it has been necessary to
cancel some individual Pacific
flights and occasional cancellations
in Alaska may become necessary,
there is no overall reduction of
regular service in sight. Passen
gers booked for cancelled flights
are merely rerouted and they will
be handled with the least possible
delay on alternate flights.”
BILL GIVING GOVT.
CHIEFS RIGHT TO
FIRE ISjN SENATE
WASHINGTON. July 15 — iAP» —
bill giving 11 government agency
heads the power to fire outright any
employees they consider risky to
U.S. security was handed over to
the Senate today following top
heavy approval in the House.
By a vote of 327 to 14, the House
late yesterday enthusiastically en
dorsed the proposal. It means that
employees deemed to be bad secur
ity risks could be booted out with
out appeal.
There are about 800,000 federal
employees in the agencies affected.
While some House members
raised the cry of “dictatorship,” an
overwhelming majority shouted ap
proval of giving most government
department chiefs “absolute discre
tion” to fire civilian employees they
consider dangerous to the national
security.

percent of the losses in vehicles i
and materiel suffered by the North
