By Associated Press
It begins to look today as if Joe
Gordon and his Sacramento Solons
are dead set on causing widespread
grief Yn the Pacific Coast League
this season.
The revitalized Sacramento club
moved to within half a game of the
league-le^dipg Portland Beavers by
clouting TYolfy^dod, 5-1, Wednesday
night behind the five-hit pitching
of a rookie righthander named Walt
Clough.
For the, Solons, who finished dead
last in 1950, it was a striking con
trast to tpeir frequent position as
the league’s doormat.
Portland obliged somewhat, too,
by succumbing by 7-5 to third place
Los Angeles. Oakland moved into
the first division by way of a 14-7
autopsy on the Seattle TtMhiers, and
San Diego supplanted Hollywood in
sixth place by whipping San Fran
cisco, 5-4.
Batwork by Messrs. Lloyd Chris
topher, Bill Jennings, and Jim Mar
shall, for Oakland caused most of
the damage in that wild* affair at
Seattle.
Christopher, with a triple, a dou
ble, and a single, led the runs-bat
ted-in parade with four.

Lopat Puts
Jinx Sign
On Indians
By Associated Press
As long as Cleveland is in the
American League. Eddie Lopat has a
steady job. Since June 17, 1949, the
chunky New York Yankees hurler
has had a jinx sign over the Cleve
land gang. How can Cleveland put'
on drive when Manager Casey Sten-,
gel has Lopat?
Eddie’s poison was almost as dead
ly when he pitched for Chicago. But
once he switched to New York lie
became a sure shot against the In
dians.
It’s a rare Cleveland series that
doesn’t find Lopat pitching the key
game for the Yanks. He beat them
six times last year as well as the
last three times he faced them in
1949.
They criticized old Case last sum
mer When he used Lopat arid ’‘Tom
my Byrne as Rinch hitters against
this very same Cleveland team. But
last night Lopat proved his batting
power once more. He hit a three-rur
homer and drove in five Yankee
runs in their 9-2 triumph.
Lopat now tops both majors with
a perfect 5-0 record for the year
although his string of 32 inning?
without an earned run was snapped.
Loser Bom Lemon was knocked out
:n the sixth.
It was the Yanks seventh win in
nine starts on their first western
trip.
Giants Beat Cards
The Yanks victory probably was
the most important of yesterday’s
action but the New York Gianti
17-3 romp over the make-shift St
Louis Cards started more tongues
wagging. Leo Durocher’s crew now
has won eight of its last 10 starts.
With eight Cards bedded dowh by
flu, the Giant sluggers ripped into
Max Lanier and three "savers" for
21 hits.
Ray Noble, husky Cuban catcher,
hit two home runs and two singles
in the big push.
In the upper brackets of the Na
tional, the Boston Braves took ad
vantage of the Card collapse to
widen their lead to two games. Vern
Bickford allowed only two Cincin
nati singles in winning his fifth
straight, 4-0. It was the Braves sixth
shutout job in 24 games.
Ten-Winning Win
Jim Konstanty picked up his first
win after three defeats as the Phila
delphia Phils took a 10-inning game
from Pittsburgh, 6-5.
Konstanly rescued Russ Meyer in
the ninth, forcing Gus Bell and
Ralph Kiner to ground out. Then
he blanked them in the 10th while
the Phils got to Reliefer Joe Muir
for the winner.
Clyde King tamed the Chicago
Cubs for a 5-4 Brooklyn victory.
The American League got notice
to expect the worst from Hal New
houser from now on as the Detroit
lefty shut out Washington, 4-0, with
seven hits. The veteran ace has
pitched two fine games in succes
sion.
The Philadelphia Athletics scored
six in the 10th to drub the St. Louis
Browns, 8-2.
The Boston at Chicago night game
was rained out.
LA MOTTA,
MURPHY TO
MEET NOW
CHICAGO, May 10 —IJFI— Irish
Bob Murphy has added the 53rd
knockout to his sensational ring rec
ord and has won the right to test
the iron JaW ol durable Jake La
Motta, who has been beaten but
never floored.
La Motti, who lost his middle
weight crown to Sugar Ray Robin
son on Feb. 14, will make his first
start as a light-heavyweight con
tender against the flailing Murphy
in New York’s Yankee Stadium
June 27.
Murphy gained the big money
shot last night by bruising and cut
ting down Danny Nardicp, of. Tam
pa, Fla., for a spectacular fourth
round technical knockout in a
scheduled 10 rounder.

"The old lire horn has Just soun
ded a call and you realize that it
is the one for your neighborhood,"
says a press agent. "You dash for
the old car and race towards your
home. You recall that the wife and
' little Johnny are still there this
early in the morning. As you round
the corner you notice smoke and
than see flames shooting from youi
home. Your heart is now pounding
more than a mile a minute as you
skid to a stop to find that your
neighbors, meaning well, are lost

into the burning house but are

your wife and Johnny out of the
house? It all has happened so fast

your heart being torn out you can

you loved and owned go up in the
flames of distruction. Is this the
icene you wish to have occur to

All Safe
"As you turned the corner you
noticed sxoke and then the flames,
but already on the Job were the
volunteers. You could see water
playing over the house and the
.'lames beginning to be subdued.
Then the most important thing,
you saw your wife and Johnny safe
and sound. Some volunteer disre
garding his own personal safety
dashed into the building and pulled
them one by one from the burning
Inferno. Other firemen were busy
attempting to save all the furniture
that they could and protecting
With tarps that which could not
be moved. In short order the fire
was out and you observed that only
slight damage occurred, which was
covered by insurance.
Up To You
“Yes, you and you alone can
have either incident happen to you.
What will it be? To have the latter
your support will be needed. The
Juneau Volunteer Firemen are do
ing their job because they want to
protect their city and its citizens.
They have families and like to
know should they be out of town
their family will be protected by
other volunteers who are on the
job. You say, they get paid when
they go to a fire. Sure they get
paid, $1.50 and remember that most
times they ruin much more than
that amount in clothes. No one pays
their cleaning bills. They go opt in
all kinds of weather, all hours of
the day or night, while you stay in
bed and wonder what happened
and where was the fire.
New Equipment Needed
“Juneau and you have an oppor
tunity to show the local firemen
what they think about the depart
ment. Juneau can voice its appre
ciation by aiding In the purchase
of new equipment. New methods,
new apparatus might be the means
of saving your life. Not so long ago
the boys answered a large fire to
! find the occupant of the building
sitting on the roof unable to get
down. What would have happened
in the event the ladder could not
reach the roof? The boys go out
in all types of weather on emer
gency runs hoping to arrive in time
to save a life or work until exhau
sted in the attempt to save a life.
They don’t get paid for that type
of service. They do it as good civic
minded citizens.
"Let’s get behind the local fire
men in their drive for new equip
ment. We can do this by buying
tickets on a beautiful new 1951
Mercury Sport Sedan. This beauti
ful car will have all the deluxe
trimmings that are available. You
will be proud to drive this new
car this summer. All it takes is to
buy tickets from our JuAekU Vol
unteer Fireman. D6 It ifrlth the
main thought that your dollar is
going towards new equipment. This
new equipment that perhaps Win
save your life someday. Its hot
often that these gallant lads seek
your assistance. So give and give
freely. Are you to be the one who
will be responsible for poor equip
ment and improper fire fighting
technique. Buy those tickets."
