(ARDS BURIED BY
PHILS IN SHUTOUT
GAME LAST NIGHT
(By the Associated Press)
Remember the date—July 20. 1950.
It may go down in baseball history
as the day the New York Giants be
gan their amazing uphill climb that
brought them a pennant.
A fantastic pipe dream? Maybe.
Stranger things have happened,
though. Remember the Boston
Braves of 1914. They dug themselves
out of a deeper hit to win the flag
and the World Series.
Win or lose, the Giants' sensa
tional run of 16 victories in 17
games since that momentous day is
one of the high spots of the season.
How and why the streak got under
way is one of the top sports stories
of the year. It developed from a
brainchild of Manager Leo Duro
cher.
On July 19, the Giants had ab
sorbed a couple of unmerciful drub
bings at the hands of the St. Louis
Cardinals. After taking an 18-4
I thumping In the afternoon, they
came back to suffer a 10-3 loss at
night to sink deeper into sixth place.
That made It 13 defeats in their last
14 games.
The weary and groggy Giants
dragged their feet into the club
house fully prepared for a typical
Durocher tongue-lashing. It never
came.
“Go out." he said, "and have fun.
I don’t care what you do or when
you get back. The curfew is lifted.
Just make sure you show up at
the ball park tomorrow.”
The result? Sixteen victories in
the next 17 games.
It looked like the Giants might
drop one last night. They spotted
the Braves a 3-1 lead in the first
inning but roared back with a 14
hit attack to whip Boston, 9-3.
The triumph boosted the high
flying Giants to within two and a
half games of the fourth place
Cards, who were buried under a 9-0
score by the pace-setting Phila
delphia Phils. They were the only
games played in the majors yester
day.
Monte Kennedy started for the
Giants but it was Jack Kramer who

righthander did a splendid relier
Job. holding the Braves scoreless
after relieving Kennedy in the first.
Ken Johnson, a Cardinal discard,
hung the shutout over his former
mates. Making his first start since
July 4, the lefthander throttled the
Redbirds with two hits. He walked
six and fanned the same number. It
was the four victory for the fast but
erratic Kansan. He hasn’t been
beaten yet. .

Only The Alaska Line
\ •*»«*,
has provided complete
service to ALL Alaska
. WAS THAT "CONSPIRACY"?
The charges of the Antitrust suit against the Alaska Steamship Company are predicated on
the apparent belief that because we have provided complete service to all parts of the Territory
of Alaska we have been guilty of a conspiracy to monopolize!
For many years The Alaska Line has carried the slogan “Serving All Alaska” because
that has been considered to be a foremost recommendation of our service.
We have striven to provide complete facilities for handling passengers, freight, refrigera
tion and the variety of other requirements of our customers throughout the Territory of Alaska.
The efforts we have put forth now return to condemn us in the language of the Antitrust
lawyers:
“None of the water carriers with which defendants
, ... ti
(Alaska Steamship Company) have competed in the Alaska
trade during this period have been able to offer all of the
services desired or required by shippers. Shippers patronizing
defendants’ competitors in the Alaska trade have been re
quired also to patronize the defendants in order to obtain
all of the services which they desired or required.”
WKy have others been unable to render this necessary full-scale service?
The answer is that complete water transportation service to all parts of Alaska is made
possible only through adequate financial investment, through providing necessary ships and
facilities and through the determination to do the job. In the past twenty years no other com- j
pany has been willing to commit itself to these requirements.
The Alaska Steamship Company has provided the finances, the ships and facilities and
has devoted itself to serving all Alaska. That is why ONLY the Alaska Steamship Company has
offered vices desired or required by shippers.”
