DRAFTING OF
i PLAYERS HIT,
j P.C. LEAGUE
•
By Associated Press
The Pacific Coast League cam
jaign enters its 11th week tonight
with the issue still highly in doubt
md an unfamiliar cast of char
icters occupying the first division.
Sacramento, winner of only one
>utright pennant in 46 years, seems
tow to be the most formidable of
he lot, although fierce contention
Is developing from Hollywood, Seat
le and Portland.
What's behind this topsy-turvy
ltuation which stacks all but one ol
the pre-season favorites on the bot
tom half of the pile? PCL President
Pants Rowland could tell it in three
words: Major League Draft.
Bled of most of its best talent,
the league looks weaker this semes
ter.
Standout Rookie
The one standout rookie to date
is Jim Rivera, Seattle’s center
fielder. Major scouts are clamoring
for him like salesmen around a
sweepstakes winner, with the Chi
cago White Sox perhaps on the rail.
Others to watch: Pitchers Fred Bac
zewski of Los Angeles and Sam
Jones of San Diego; First Baseman
Bob Boyd, Sacramento.
Seattle and Sacramento were the
PCL’s winningest outfits during May.
The Rainiers won 20, lost 13; the
Solons finished the month at 19-12.
A new Seattle outfielder will be
in the lineup when the Rainiers
open a series at Portland tonight.
Ed McGhee, a .356 hitter for In
dianapolis in the American Asso
ciation, joined the club yesterday.
McGhee is the property of the Chi
cago White Sox, who transferred his
option to the Rainiers.
McGhee will replace Rightfielder
A1 Lyons, a good pitcher who would
rather play in the outfield than
• pitch.

LOPAT JINX
BROKEN NOW
BY INDIANS
By Associated Press
It took nearly two years, a black
cat, 15,000 rabbits’ feet, a message
to Garcia and some solid socking
for Cleveland to break through the
Ed Lopat jinx.
But that’s what the Indians ac
complished last night when they
sent the stylish southpaw to the
showers in two innings with a six
run assault and went on to whip
the New York Yankees, 8-2.
Cleveland’s victory, its third
straight over the Yankees, and its
ninth in a row, overshadowed even
the Chicago White Sox’ sweep of a
twi-night doubleheader from the
Boston Red Sox, 6-5 and 2-0.
Not since June 17, 1949 had the
Indians been able to conqper Lo
pat. Since then, the lefthander beat
them 11 straight times, twice this
season. He entered the fray with
an unblemished record of eight wins
without a defeat.
Garcia Does Job
Mexican Mike Garcia, beseeched
by numerous messages to “beat Lo
pat,” did it handily with a well
scattered 10-hit performance. He
held the Yankees runless after a
wobbly first inning to register his
fifth victory against three defeats.
“I guess the rabbits’ feet and the
black cat did it," Lopat sighed in
the clubhouse.
Lopat was referring to the good
luck charms handed out to the first
FIGHT DOPE

Baltimore — Willie Pep. 131.
Hartford. Conn., outpointed Jesus
Compos, 127, Cuba, 10.
Toronto — Arthur King, 137, Eng
land, outpointed Armand Savoie,

New Orleans — Chuck Davey, 125,
Lansing, Mich., knocked out Tommy
Ciarlo, 146, Waterbury, Conn., 4.
15,000 of the 20,217 fans who entered
Cleveland Stadium.
Black Cat on Mound
As if that wasn't enough, a zany
fan tried to break Lopat’s hoodoo
all by himself by running out to the
mound with a black cat as the Yan
kee hurler was tossing warmup
pitches in the last of the first inn
mg.
The year’s biggest turnout at Co
miskey Park — 42,718 — hollered
itself hoarse as the White Sox
whipped two former teammates —
Ray Scarborough and Will Wight—
to open up a three and a half game
lead in the American League race.
Detroit’s Tigers came from be
hind with two runs in the last half
of the ninth to nip the Washington
Senators, 6-5.
Rookie Lou Limmer hit a grand
slam home run to lead the Phila
delphia Athletics to a 7-6 triumph
over the St. Louts Browns.
Homers By Musial
Stan Musial smashed two homers
and a single, drove in three runs
and boosted his average to .380 as
the St. Louis Cardinals checked New
York's second place challenge with
a 7-2 win.
The Cincinnati Reds roared from
behind a 7-0 deficit with three tallies
in the eighth and seven in the ninth
to down the Boston Braves, 10-7.
Gus Bell hit for the cycle—a
single .double, triple and homer, to
lead Pittsburgh to a 12-4 victory
over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Rain washed out the night game
between the Dodgers and Chicago
Cubs in Brooklyn.

SPORT FISHERMEN
WARNED AGAINST

Clarence Rhode, regional director
of Fish and Wildlife Service, said
today that several complaints have
been lodged in his office against
local sports fishermen who have
been catching salmon in Tee Harbor
and Auk Bay and selling them com
mercially.
Rhode emphasized that the salmon
trolling season is closed to com
mercial trolling and will remain so
until June 25. The closed area in
cludes waters north of Midway Is

Auk Bay and Lynn Canal.
Rhode pointed out that the sport

must affect both."
