Hornsby’s Rainiers Take
Pennant by Downinq Oaks
My tne Associated rress i
Rogers Hornsby Las made it on
his first try in the Pacific Coast
League. The ex-National Leaguer,
generally recognized as the greatest
right hand hitter of all time, saw
his Seattle club take the Pacific
Coast league pennant last night
The Rainiers downed Oakland, 4
to 2, and removed the last vestige
of hope Hollywood entertained of
gaining a tie.
Hollywood downed Sacramento
again, 3 to 2. on George Schmcej
single with the bases jammed in
the tenth. Portland took Los An
geles in a slugfest, 8 to 6, and San
Francisco whipped San Diego in
the only day game, 3-0.
Hornsby's success was due to
his assembling of a well-balanced
pitching staff. Jim Rivera’s all
around play, the douh'e duty of
pitcher-outfielder A1 Lyons, and
lots of speed afield and on the
base paths. Hollywood had more
hitting power but was slow and
veterans were out of. action fre
quently.
Hornsby thus made it two titles
in a row. He piloted Beaumont, to
the Texas League championship in
1950. The team he inherited from |
Paul Richards at Seattle finished j
sixth last year. This year Beau- ■
mont is battling to stay in the first j
division.
Portland’s win over Los Angeles
moved the Beavers within a half
game of the third place Angels
These clubs are battling for first
division places and appear to have
them just about clinched, with the
right to take part in the Governor’s
Cup playoffs starting next Tuesday
in Sent tic and Hollywood.
San Francisco’s shutout, pitched j
by A1 Lien, ended a five-game lo-m^ I
streak for the Seals, and enabled I
them to get a tie with Sacramento |
for the dubious distinction of being j
in last place.
Hiking Club W\\
Me Oremighi !
Trip Safurd-iy
Ed Peyton, local mountaineer
will guide members of the Shin.
Shank and Shutter club on an over
night hike to Camp Six above
Thane on Saturday, weather per
mitting, the Rev. H. E. Beyer, club
president, announced today.
Camp Six is on the Alaska-Juneau
Mining Company’s power line trail
to Annex Creek on the Taku -River...
Tiit re are bunks for 14 persons, and
if more than that number make the
trip, Beyer said, they must bring
their own sleeping bags.
Caroline Hoff, telephone 874, is
taking reservations.
The party will leave town from
in front of the high school at 8 a m.,
drive tc Thane, and hike up Fish
Creek to the camp. Hikers are asked
to bring their own trail lunches.
This will be the last scheduled
trip of the season, Beyer pointed
out.
The “jinx” on Mt. Olds was broken
Tuesday* when Beyer, accompanied
by Miss Florence Cramer and I. J
Montgomery, ascended the moun
tain. The trip had been scheduled
several times during the hiking sea
son but was postponed each time :
because of bad weather. The three j
said that the view from the crest
of the mountain was worth the
climb.

Step Back fo Big Time
SEATTLE, Sept, 6— M—Rogers
Hornsby was the calmest man in
the clnbhou.se last night as the Se
attle Rainiers celebrated winning !
their first Pacific Coast league pen- 1
nant in 10 years.
Hall-of-famer Hornsby, one of
baseball’s all-time greats, was happy,
of course, that his clnb had fin- 1
ished on top during his first year
at the helm, but winning was old
stuff to the Rajah.
As the howling mob of ball
players streamed in from the field
where they had defeated Oakland, j
last year’s pennant - winner, j
Hcrnsby stood quietly by, an ear
to-ear grin on his face, but few !
words on his lips.
Not so the Rainiers. General ]
Manager Earl Sheelv and Vice P/es- J
idcnt Torchy Torrance made aj>-1
propriate speeches. So did effer
vescent Jimmy Rivera, White Sox- j
bound Hornsby discovery voted the
most valuable player in the<league, i
and most of the rest of the crew. |
Someone opened a case of the stuff
that bears the same name a the ball
club.
Hornsby’s contribution was brief.
He stepped over to shake hands
with pitcher Charley Schanv He
passed a few quiet remarks to
other players, then quickly dressy l
and left the clubhouse.
It was a familiar scene, different
setting, for the Rajah.
Winning the Coast League pen- ;
nant was another step on the trail
that may take him back to the
majors where in 1926 he pil >ted
the St. Louis Cardinals to the v 'rid ;
championship.

Kerosene lamps—fresh air meat lockers—
washing socks in 5 gallon cans—are strictly for
tourists in this day and age. Instead, it's electric
lights, electric refrigerators and washing
machines, and radios—thanks to low-cost elec
tric power from “Caterpillar” Diesel Electric Sets.
Put a set in place—connect the loads through
a simple circuit breaker—and you’re in business.
And it’s just as easy to operate! It requires no
attention or adjustment and stays right on the job!
The cost of this comfort is conveniently low,
too. The sets run on small helpings of low-cost
non-premium fuels. Large, single orifice injec
tion valves are clog-resistant. “Caterpillar” safe
guards, such as air cleaners, fuel filters, oil cool
ing and others, keep the engines on the job year
after year. Veterans ol 60,- 70,- even 80,000 hours
are still hard at it.
Put your camp on the same modern basis as
your logging. Switch your lighting load to one
of the several “Caterpillar” Diesel Electric Sets
available. See us today!
