SIMMONS TO
CAMP; QUITS
WHIZ KIDS
(By the Associated Press)
Temporary loss of Curt Simmons,
top National League pitcher with 14
wins, puts the Phiilie Whiz Kids to
the real test. Eddie Sawyer’s staff
must take up the slack for two
weeks until the $65,000 bonus baby
returns from a National Guard
camp.
This is the third mid-summer
camp trip for Simmons. In other
years it didn’t matter. He was jo: t
another wild youngster with a sling
shot arm. Now he’s high man in
the league. When he leaves tomor
row, there will be a gaping hole in
the Phil defense.
Simmons protected the Phils’ 11
game lead-over the St. Louis Card
inals with a 13-3 decision over the
Chicago Cubs yesterday. Curt al
lowed seven hits, including a homer
by Andy Pafko, fanned five and
walked five.
Del Ennis ruined the Cubs, driv
ing in seven runs with a double in
the seventh and a homer in the
eighth, each with the bases loaded.
St. Louis stuck close to the Phils
with a rousing 13-3 romp over
Erooklyn. The Cards broke the
game wide open after it had gone
1-1 through the first six innings.
Enos Slaughter and Chuck Diering
each hit two homers and Del Rice
hit one but Stan Musial’s 30-game
batting streak W'as ended. Musial
went hitless in five trips.
The loss cost the Dodgers third
place when Boston grabbed a 5-3
night victory over Pittsburgh be
nind Warren Spahn. The Braves’
lefthander had a shutout until the
ninth.
Cincinnati and New York were
idle.
As happens so often in baseball,
an old teammate came back to
haunt the New York Yankees.
George Stirnweiss, traded to St.
Louis in June, came through with a
ninth-inning single to break a tie
with a 3-2 Brownie win.
The loss dropped the Yanks a
game and a half back of Detroit,
which knocked over Boston, 5-1, in
an afternoon game. As Cleveland
also lost to Philadelphia, 7-2, the
Tigers gained on all other first di
vision clubs.
Stirnweiss’ hit followed a single
Ijy Sherm Lollar and a walk to Roy
Sievers in the ninth. There wa,s
only one out when he singled to
left to hand Tommy Byrne his fifth
loss.
Dizzy Trout, who figured as sec
ond string bullpen pitcher last
spring, whipped Boston lor the
third time, to help the Detroit
cause.
Four double plays helped Trout
out of deep holes as he salvaged the
lone Tiger victory of the three-game
set with the Red Sox. A three-run
fifth inning in which Vic Wertz
nit his 16tli homer with a man on
ruined Boston.
Los Brissie, the “losingest” pitcher
in the majors with 13 defeats,
calmed the Indians with four hits
for the first Philadelphia win over
die Indians in their last 10 starts.
Washington split a pair with Chi
cago, winning the first 3-2 and los
ing the second, 6-3.
B. 6. STARS
Stars of major league baseball
games Thursday are:
Batting — Del Ennis, Phillies —
drove in seven runs with homer and
double, each with bases full, in
13-3 win over Chicago.
Pitching — Dizzy Trout, Tigers —
stopped Tigers’ losing spin with 5-1
victory over Boston, protecting De
troit’s first place margin.

TEAM SPLITS IT?
WHITEHORSE GAMES
tournament Planned at
Haines on Labor Day
Juneau Team Invited
HAINES, Alaska, July 25—(Spe
cial to The Empire i—The Haines
softball team visited Whitehorse
during the weekend of July 22-23
and won a split in games with the
! two top teams of the Whitehorse
! Softball League. The Whitehorse
i Elks trounced Haines 23-2 in the
first game played Saturday evening.
Haines committeed an error in
strategy by playing a powerful team
just after completing a long, hard
drive.
After resting up Saturday night,
the team was in better shape, and]
| with the addition of pitcher Ed
Sauder, defeated the Canadian
Army team 5-4 in a thrilling game.
Haines came from behind in the
i fourth inning, scoring three runs
when David singled, Nestcr walked
and Keith tripled, Keith then scored
on notch’s grounder. The Army tied
(he score with single runs in the
fourth and fifth.
The winning run for Haines came
in the eighth, when Hayden beat 1
out a slow roller, took second or
Kelly's sacrifice, and scored from
second on Aukerman’s single. Thr
Army threatened strongly in the
ninth inning when the first two bat
ters hit safely, and advanced to
second and third w'ilh none out
David took a hard grounder iron I
the next batter, feinted a throw t< j
first, and tagged out the runner or
third when he broke for the plate
White then beat out an infield hit
but the runner attempting to scon
from second was thrown out at the
plate. Stuart then popped up to enc!
the game.
The Heines outf:* were the re- |
cipients of some splendid hospital
ity from their Whitehorse oppon
ents, and hope to repay that hos
pitality Labor Day. Both the White
horse Elks and the Canadian Armj
team have agreed to participate in
a tournament at Haines over Labor
Day. It is also planned to inyite the
Juneau Town Criers to the tourna
ment. The Town Criers won the
Haines 4th of July tournament by
defeating Haines 7-5 and Lytle and
Green 4-3.

LOUIS IS
TRAINING
FOR BOUT
NEW YORK, July US- 'JD—Jcc
Louis, now 30, will try to regain
the world heavyweight boxing title
he gave up two years ago.
As a challenger he notified the
International Eo : 113 Club that he
had started preliminary training in
Indiana today witli the hopes oi
meeting NBA Champion Ezzard
Charles in September in either New
York or Chicago.
Louis made the announcement
through James Norris, president of
the International Boxing Club.
Louis’ statement said, in part,
that “I have decided to light again
because of a large and unexpected
tax assessment for 1947-1947 which
has just been levied.
“I will enter the ring in good
shape and expect to be the first
retired heavyweight champion to re
gain the title.”
Charles is the universally recog
nized successor to Louis.
ADMINISTRATION
EXPLAINS WHEN
WAR IS NOT WAR
(By Associated Press)
Administration leaders have given
a detailed explanation to Congress
men wondering why the U.S. is
engaged in an all-out fight in Ko
rea without a declaration of war—or
even of a national emergency.
Reliable sources say the Congress
men were told that first of all, me
U.S. is not at war with Korea in
the usual sense—it is carrying out
a United Nations order.
In addition, President Truman
already has many wartime powers—
dating back to 1941—and is getting
more from Congress without declar
ing an emergency.
Administration leaders believe
that any formal declaration of U.S.
intentions might be taken as an
excuse for further Communist ag
gression.

NO-HITTER
IS HURLED
BY HIGBE
COLUMBUS, O., July 28 Am If j
veteran pitcher Kirby Iligbe is aim- i
ing at a return to the major leagues,
he shot close to the target last
night.
The 35-year-old South Carolina
hurler, on the mound for Minne- j
a polls in the American Association, I
pitched a no-hitter against the Co- j
lumbus Red .Birds in the seven- j
inning opener of a twin bill.
His feat was marred by a lone
Red Bird score. The Millers won
the abbreviated opener 3-1 'out it
didn’t detract from the veteran’s
brilliant pitching.
The man whose lifetime major
league record is 118 wins against
101 defeats got into trouble only in
the first inning. The Birds got their
only run then when Solly Hemus
walked, stole second, went to third
one Jake Early's poor peg, and
scored on a wild pitch.

The White House is the scene of
a family dispute today over which

Until recently, it was understood
that allocation and priority powers
would be divided three ways—among

Protest Against
Leopold's Return
(By Associated Press)
About 300,000 Belgian workers
now have joined the strike in pro
test against King Leopold's return
to the throne—and Brussels is hard
hit. Only 100 streetcars are running
in the capital.
Factories are closed—so are most
of the big department stores, and
the violence continues.
An anti-Leopold demonstrator
died today of injuries suffered last
night in a battle with police, 300
yards from the king's palace at
Laeken.
