I
SIX CLUBS IN
NAT. LEAGUE
IN BIG RACE
(By the Associated Press)
Dust off those playoff rules, Ford
Frick, your National League may be
headed for a six-club showdown.
With July 4th, traditional half
way post, just around the bend,
they’re all in the race except Cin
cinnati and Pittsburgh.
Boston, New York and Chicago
closed in while Brooklyn and St.
Louis fumbled the pace. Now it's
only five games from first place
Philadelphia to the sixth-place New
York Giants, and 1% from first to
fourth.
Lose one and you drop from first
to third. The Dodgers did the trick
last night. They took a half game
lead into Shibc Park. After an 8-5
defeat to the Phils they were lucky
to be third.
The revamped St. Louis Cards
sneaked past Brooklyn by mauling
Pittsburgh, 9-4. That left the Cards
only three percentage points back
of the Phils.
Cincinnati made an early lead
stand up for an 8-5 victory over
the Chicago Cubs, although Kenny
Raffensberger needed help from
Herm Wehmeier in the eighth to
save his victory.
Big Luke Easter continued his
long distance clouting with two more
homers and A1 Rosen hit his 21st
as Clevland hammered Detroit.
Larry Doby went bat-in-hand
after Detroit Pitcher Dizzy Trout
when a Trout pitch sent him sprawl
ing in the second inning. Players
from both sides streamed on the
field but the umpires quieted the
fuss short of an actual fight.
The Yankees ended Boston’s
seven-game win streak with a 9-6
afternoon win but took a severe
10-2 drubbing from the Red Sox
in the night half of the day-night
program.
The Philadelphia A’s escaped
from the American League cellar
with a double w’in over Washing
ton. 7-6 and 4-2, in a twi-night bill.
Gus Zernial hit- his 12th homer
with two out in the 13th inning
for Chicago’s 3-2 edge over St.
Louis. The loss, charged to Ned Gar
ver. dumped the Brownies into last
place.
NATL. DECATHLON
CHAMPIONSHIP IS
WON BY MATHIAS
TULARE, Calif., July 1 — (#) —
Handsome young Bob Mathias of
Tulare won the national decathlon
championship for the third straight
year, broke the world record by do
ing it and today planned a year’s
holiday from this gruelling all
round test of track and field
prowess.
Throwing back the challenge of
William E. (Bill) Albans of North
Carolina, 19-year-old Mathias
rounded out the two-night perform
ance last night just before midnight
with these achievements:
He captured the crown, the first
man to do it three straight years.
He scored 8042 points shattering
the record that had stood for 14
years since Glenn Morris astonished
the world by registering 7900 points
for America in the Olympic games
at Berlin.

RAINIERS IN
5- 2 WIN IN
8TH FRAME
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sportswritcr)
When it conies to liquidating the .
other guy’s assets, there usually is!
no substitute for baseball’s most ne- j
gotiable security, the home run ball.'
The round tripper paid rosy divi
dends in the Pacific Coast League I
last night, particularly for the Port- j
land Beavers and the Los Angeles |
Angels.
Les Layton lifted one out of the
park for the Angels with one aboard
in the seventh to whip San Fran- j
cisco, 5 to 3, and ruin one of the |
circuit's foremost moundsmen, Ai |
Lien.
The Beavers drilled three ball- j
over the fence in edging last place 1
Sacramento 7 to 6. Mickey Rocco |
administered two of them. Eddie!
Barr got the other.
Although the antics of these les- I
;er clubs contributed little more j
than local color to the pennant i
melodrama, they nevertheless over-1
hadowed a lethargic ritual at Holly- j
wood in which Oakland dumped the I
Stars again, 5 to 3, and approached i
to within two games of the lead.
At Seattle, however, the game be- I
tween the Rainiers and third place !
San Diego was a thing of beauty. |
Seattle also collected two homers, |
by Al Lyons and Marv Rackley, j
but it was Bill Salkeld’s bases loaded
single in the eighth that broke San
Diego’s back and insured a 5 to
conquest for the Rainiers.
It was Seattle’s third triumph in j
four games with the Padres. Sal
keld’s timely one-baser broke up a -
2-all deadlock.

139-POUND HALIBUT
LANDED SUCCESSFULLY
ON 20-POUND LEADER
There are trout derbies and sal
mon derbies—why doesn’t someone
start a halibut derby? opines Ray
Rice, of the Ray Rice Plastering
and Tile Contractors. He has a
good start for one.
Yesterday while fishing off Point
Bishop, with Mr. and Mrs. Walt
Johnson aboard their 28-foot speed
boat, Rice hooked a 139-pound hali
but—and landed it successfully us
ing a light 20-pound test leader.
Rice, who weighs only 11 pounds
more than the fish, said the com
bined efforts of himself and John
son could not get the fish aboard
so they towed it to town.
What do you do with a fish like
that? Rice wanted to know. The
Empire editorial room suggested a
general barbecue. Rice still thinks
there should be a halibut derby.

JUNEAU CLINIC ADDS
SPACE; DR WILLIAMS
HAS NEW OFFICES
The Juneau Clinic has greatly
extended its service since being
organized 14 years ago by several
physicians. Now. it has burst the,
seams of its quarters and over- j
flowed into an adjacent building, j
The hammering and sawing and
painting at 170 South Franklin
Street are about over, and the
second floor will be occupied to
make room next door for a new j
associate.
The long unoccupied storage
rooms above H. S, Graves. Men's
Furnishings, have been transformed
into attractive modern dental offi
ces for Dr. Richard H. Williams.
He plans to move in during the |
holiday week-end.
His former office and the adja
cent one will be redecorated for
Dr. John Stewart, New York sur- j
geon, who will arrive in about I
three weeks.
The new dental quarters will in- j
elude two operating rooms <an 'x-1
tra chair vill enable the better'
handling of orthodontia work); a
laboratory reception room and bus- j
iness offices.
Entrance will still be by the I
Juneau Clinic stairway, as a pass- j
ageway has been cut.
Except for use by Graves for j
storage, the premises at No. 170!
have been unoccupied for some 20 ;
ar 25 years, since Marie Brennan j
had the rooms for rent. Before!
that, the upstairs provided living i
quarters for Z. J. Loussac, now
mayor of Anchorage, who had a j
drugstore on the first floor. The !
Juneau Clinic moved to the South j
Franklin Street address after tiie i
Goldstein Building fire.
Dr. Williams has been associated j
with the Juneau Clinic since it was
founded early in August, 1936 by
Dr. C. C. Carter and the late Dr.
W. W. Council. Dr. William White
head aird Dr. Wiiliam P. Blanton
also have been associated with the
Clinic since that time.
