RAINIERS
COMING UP
PC LEAGUE
v —
B.v Associated Press
Sacramento’s lead in the Pacific
Coast League race is only a half
game today, and if Seattle's Sunday
luck holds out the penthouse may
have a new occupant come sunup
Monday.
The Rainiers, who gained ground
on the faltering Solons in last
night’s exercises, haven't lost a Sun
day doubleheader in their home park
all season.
Seattle whipped Hollywood, 8-4, in
their series opener last night to
break the deadlock for second place.
The victims were Artie Schallock
and Bob Chesnes, who coughed up
six runs to the Rainiers in the fifth
inning.
Sacramento, meanwhile, split a
doubleheader with Oakland to back
slide a half notch and to drop the
Oaks into fifth place behind Los
Angeles. Oakland won the opener,
7-1, Sacramento the finale, 8-3.
A1 Lien of San Francisco also
cranked up a five hitter in goose
egging the Portland Beavers, 5-0. He
didn’t allow anybody past second
base.
By contrast, Los Angeles nipped
San Diego, 10-9, in a free swinging
affair that reached its climax in
the seventh inning when the Angels
came from behind with a five-run
outburst.

LOUIS KNOCKS
.. SAVOLD OUT IN
SIXTH ROUND
NEW YORK, June 16 — ,PI — A
jubilant Joe Louis, looking more
like the magnetic, dynamic Erown
Bomber of 10 years ago, hollered for
Ezzard Charles today and there was
not a soul who would dare hush
him down, A couple of days ago if '
you even hinted that 37-year-old
Joe would have a chance against
the heavyweight champion, you
would have been called foolish.
Today, with the memory of the
bomber’s explosive six round knock
out of Lee Savold fresh in mind,
hardened boxing men and Savold
himself, will bet you even money
that Louis will take back the prized
crown he held so long. ,
And he n probably get his chance
in Detroit this September. Charles
has a July 18 date with Jersey Joe
Walcott in Pittsburgh on his agenda
and Louis said "I want a couple of
more fights before then. Maybe one
in Germany and one more.”
Savold wasn’t looking for the kind
of Louis he met last night in jam
packed Madison Square Garden.
Neither did anybody else including
the SRO crowd of 18,179 fans who
paid $94,684.
Joe called his shot. He predicted
“I’ll knock him out inside of six
rounds.”
He did it at exactly 2:29 of the
sixth with a smashing left hook to
the jaw that dropped his bleeding,
wobbling rival for the first time
in the fight and for keeps.
It was strictly a one-sided battle
all the way.

I
Again, excellent progress reports
were heard by members of Men
(denhall 4-H Club for boys at their
recent business meeting, presided
over by president Bob Ogden.
Though raising' baby calves for
veal without fresh milk is not an
easy undertaking, so far, our 4-H
boys have met the challenge most
, successfully. All calves are now' in
good condition.
I Duane Reddecopp, whose calf is
1 sponsored by the Centennial Flour
ing Mills Co. of Tacoma, reported
having received from the company
a fine shipment of assorted feed,
covering all nutritional require
! ments of vitamins and minerals for
his animal. He, too, is eager to
bring his animal to the 4-H Fair
this fall f or club exhibit. Duane's
second project is a fine flock of
baby chicks that were hatched a
couple weeks ago by one of his own
laying hens.
John Steward’s new litter of baby
, rabbits is doing well. This is John’s
first project, and needless to say
he enjoys tremendously taking caie
of his very own animals.
Something reallly new and most
, interesting has been added to our
j club, Gary Jenkins and Olaf Bart
ness each have a baby pig, Shipped
I here from Bothell, Washington.
! Both animals, of the Berkshire
breed, stood the trip fine, and are
on their way to grow into nice, fat,
4-H pork chops.

Weisgerber, Don Weisgerber, Henry
Allen Jenkins, and John Tanner,
fully aware of the importance of
fresh vegetables; reported their
gardens are all up.
Peter Wood, Jr. expects his baby
goslings to hatch any day now.
About 32 to 34 days are needed for
the hatching period, according to
Peter, who is all set to take good |
care of his young brood.
Bill Norton, guest speaker at the
meeting, gave important pointers
and explained thoroughly the rules
and regulations concerning awards
offered by the Westinghouse Edu
