RAINIER! GO
BACK IN 5TH
PLACE AGAIN
(By the Associated Press)
As if the attendance declined
weren't bad enough, the rainy sea
son has arrived in the Pacific Coast
League, and with it those tedious
“make up game” series.
While the weather man watered
the pastures at Los Angeles and Sac
ramento Sunday, the Oakland
Acorns boosted their lead to nine
games and San Francisco wrested
fourth place from Seattle.
The Oaks copped both ends of a
twin bill with second place San
Diego. 9 to 4 and 3 to 1. San Fran
cisco also won twice, whipping the
Rainiers by 6 to 3 and 3 to 2. It
put the Seals, who were on the teeter
totter with Seattle all week, back in j
the first division by the margin of;
a half game. i
As a result of the Los Angeles
Portland postponement, these two
clubs will play an 11 game series at
Portland next week. Two games had
been called off previously.
Sacramento and Hollywood will
make up their rained out double
header in Hollywood during the
week of Sept. 26 to Oct. 1.
Guy Fletcher, Seattle mound reg
ular, was carried out on a stretcher
in the first |ame at San Francisco.
In the second inning he was struck
in the face by a line drive off the
bat of San Francisco outfielder Joe
Grace. X-rays showed Fletcher's
Jaw fractured in four places.

BROWNS IN
FEROCIOUS
PLAY NOW
(By the Associated Press)
The St. Louis Browns, a doormat
for the greater part of the season,
have suddenly grown ferocious,
playing like champs instead of
chumps.
Cleveland was the first to meet
disaster at the hands of the “New
Browns.” The St. Louis club knocked
the Indians out of contention with
four straight victories in Cleveland.
The Red Sox and Yankees were
next on the list. The Browns took
two out of three from Boston’s third
place Sox and followed by splitting
a doubleheader with the league
leading Yankee^ yesterday.
They knocked the Yanks off, 6-5,
in the first game and battled the
Bombers tooth and nail until the
last inning of the second before ca
pitulating, 6-1. At that, it took a
grand-slam, pinch hit homer by 34
year-old Johnny Hopp to beat them.
Despite the split the Yanks moved
a game ahead of the second-place
Tigers who lost a 3-2 squeaker to
the Red Sox in Detroit.
Here is the picture at a glance:
W L Pet GB GL
New York . 90 52 .634 — 12
Detroit . 88 52 .629 — 14
Boston . 88 53 .624 IV* 13
The Browns’ biggest crowd of the
season, 21,082, showed up at Sports
man’s Park and saw rookie Ken
Wood double home Owen Friend in
the ninth inning to win the opener.
Mound Duel
The nightcap was a mound duel
between Allie Reynolds of the Yanks
and A1 Widmar. The Yanks loaded
the bases in the ninth on a hit. a
bunt which Widmar threw to sec
ond too late and an error. Hopp then
batted for Reynolds and socked the
pitch off the rightfield pavilion
roof. Vic Raschi finished for the
Yanks to save Reynolds’ 14th vic
tory.
The Red Sox and Tigers also put
on a spine-tingler before 53.167 fans
in Detroit. The Sox jumped off to a
3-0 lead in the first four innings
with Birdie Tebbetts knocking home
two runs and Vern Stephens the
other.
Lefty Mel Parnell nursed this
margin until the ninth when the
Tigers finally caught up with them
Athletics Win
The Philadelphia Athletics edged
the Cleveland Indians. 10-9, in 11
innings and the Washington Sena
tors and Chicago White Sox split a
doubleheader. The White Sox won
the opener, 4-0, behind Bill Wight
and the Senators captured the
nightcap. 3-2, on Irv Noren’s ninth
inning homer.
The Philadelphia Phils continued
to move along in the National
League, beating the Pittsburgh Pir
ates, 5-3.
Boston took over second place
from the Brooklyn Dodgers by
sweeping a doubleheader from the
Cincinnati Reds, 6-2. and 3-1, while
the Dodgers lost a 3-2 decision to
the Chicago Cubs on Wayne Ter
williger’s two-run homer.
Warren Spahn became the Na
tional’s 20-game winner by stopping
the Reds on six hits in the opener.
Johnny Antonelli yielded eight blows
in winning the second game for
Boston.
The New York Giants scored three
runs in the last of the ninth inning
to shade the St. Louis Cardinals,
7-6.

SERVICE CLUBS
FORCE AGAINST
COMMIES: PETRY
A review of the Lionism spirit
of service and accomplishments
was given by Herbert C. Petry, Jr.,
International President at a re
gular luncheon meeting of the Ju
neau Lions Club at the Baranof
Hotel Monday noon.
Petry sketched the beginning of
the Lions club in 1914 in Chicago
with its ideal of service to others
less fortunate. He told of the first
meeting in Dallas, Tex., in 1917
with 25 clubs representing 800
members that decided on a project
in sight conservation, the pushing
of the white cane law in various
states, providing clinics, glasses and
seeing eye dogs for the blind.
Other projects later follow with
the Canadian clubs providing sum
mer camps for crippled children
of work with spastics launched by
the Kentucky clubs, a Lighthouse
for the Blind in Miami, Fla., a
tuberculosis hospital in Guatemala
City, a half million-dollar hospita
in Panama City, and other worthy
accomplishments of Lions, saying,
"You can’t put a price tag on these
things."
He reminded the Juneau mem
bers that the Lions had giver,
wholehearted support to the Unitec.
Nations from the beginning anc
was the first service club to be
given a consultant status for tha’
body.
Regarding Communism hi
pointed out that it breeds among
the discontents and in slums where
Lions have gone to provide swim
ming pools and playgrounds anc
o'her activities to counteract it.
"There are over one million men
in the United States in various
service clubs, all working with a
service motive. This in itself is a
potent force against those whe
would destroy our way of life,” he
concluded.
Ray Hand of the University Lions
club at Los Angeles was a visiting
Lion. Frank Metcalf, head of the
Alaska Highway Patrol, was also a
guest.
Dr. Joseph Rude announced that
25 Lions and their wives had signed
up for the blood typing program
which starts Sept. 26. It was an
nounced that the basketball com
mittee would meet this week.

TED LOWES AND
YACHT FIFER ARE
HERE FROM SOUTH
The yacht Fifer and owners Mr.
and Mrs. Ted Lowe arrived at the
Northern Commercial Company
float Saturday and will remain in
port until Tuesday.
This is the third trip the Fifer.
Capt. Stanley Ellis, has made to
Juneau in three years and the Lowes
have made so many trips to Alaska
they have lost count.
The Fifer is 106-feet long, diesel
powered and Canadian-built. The
fact that its machinery is all English
delays sailings occasionally when
machinery parts must await import,
but this is a minor fault when one
considers advantages of the English
equipment aboard—like the shatter
proof. bullet-proof glass five-eighths
of an inch thick that can withstand
pounding by the stormiest sea.
The Lowes are sports fishermen,
had a wonderful trip in Mexican
waters this spring fishing for marlin
and fished for salmon at Campbell
rivei and Alert Bay on their way
i orth.
With Mr. and Mrs. Lowe as guests ,
ire General and Mrs. Shepler Fitz- |
:<erald, of Coronado, who were with
,hem aboard the Fifer on their
Alaska trip two years ago. Gen. j
FitzGerald was in command of “fly- i
:na the hump” from India to China
during World War II.
The Lowe’s bear dogs, that have
beer traveling north with them
aboard the- Polaris I and II, the
Taku and Meander, have become al
most as well-known as their owners.
Their present dogs, Tuya and Nah
iin, will have two companions if
negotiations with another bear dog
fancier, a mounted policeman in
Lytton, B.C., are successful.
The Lowes, whose home when not
aboard the Fifer is now in San
Francisco, first came to Alaska in
;y29, started radio station KFQD
n Anchorage and the Paciifc In
ternationl Airlines which later be
came a part of the original Pan
American company in Alaska.
