Summary
Given Now
By the Associated Press
Three teams today are waiting
for a miracle to take place—for only
by such a phenomenon can the
New York Giants, Cleveland Indians
or Boston Red Sox win a pennant.
Leo Durocher and his Giants ap
parently believe in miracles. They
are staying stubbornly alive when
they must know they should be
dead.
Yesterday, while Brooklyn Man
ager Charlie Dressen was announc
ing Preacher Roe as his pitcher in
the World Series opener, the re
lentless Giants chipped another half
game off the Dodgers’ National
League lead with a 4-3 triumph over
the Boston Braves. All other teams
were idle.
Brooklyn now leads New York by
two and a half games, its smallest
margin since the opening week of
the campaign. Since the Giants
started their frantic and seemingly
hopeless chase on Aug. 16, they have
chopped 11 games from the Dodgers’
once huge lead. The Giants have
won 33 of 40.
The Giants’ victory left the
clinching combination for the Dod
gers at four. Brooklyn has seven
more to play, four in Boston and
three in Philadelphia. A twi-night
bill in Boston is on tap for tonight.
The Giants’ four remaining games
are divided between Philadelphia
and Boston. They face Robin Rob
ers <21-12', the Philly ace, tonight,.
The New York Yankees can clinch
their 18th flag Friday. A victory
over the Philadelphia Athletics this
afternoon and a sweep of Friday’s
doubleheader with the Red Sox,
all at Yankee Stadium, would finish
off the Indians and Red Sox with
mathematical certainty.

Hornsby May Buy
Seals' Franchise;
That's One Rumor
SEATTLE, Sept.. 25—If Rogers
Hornsby doesn’t land a major
league manager’s job. he may try
to buy San Francisco’s Pacific Coast
League franchise.
President Emil Sick of the Se
attle Rainiers, the team Hornsby
piloted to the coast league pennant
this year, said yesterday he would
like to have the Rajah handle the
club again next year, but doesn’t
expect him to return.
Sick said Hornsby is trying to
interest eastern capital in the San
Francisco franchise, which owner
Paul Fagan recently placed on the
block.
It has been rumored both the New
York Yankees and St. Louis Browns
are interested in signing Hornsby
as manager.

liams from second and gave the
Giants a 4-3 victory over the Bos
ton Braves.

Relieved starter Sheldon Jones in

Maxim Is
Challenged
By Moore
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25—
Come out and fight wherever you
are, Joey Maxim.
That was the challenge Archie
Moore hurled last night after he
smashed 22-year-old Harold John
son of Philadelphia into bloody
submission at the arena here.
Moore said that he had tried
everything else to get Maxim into
a ring for a light heavyweight title
bout — maybe this old fashioned
street fight challenge would do the
trick. The 35-year-old fighter is
confident he can lick Maxim within
an inch of the champ's life, if only
he could get the chance.
The hard punching veteran from
St. Louis gave young Johnson a les
son in how to cut an opponent to
pieces methodically.

with a 20 lbs., 3 oz., fish and Mrs.
Fumi Sakamoto, 11-9.

(Special Correspondence)
SITKAp, Alaska, Sept. 16—The
Community Fair, sponsored by the
Sitka Women's Club, and held all
day yesterday at Community House,
was a roaring success. Kids espe
cially enjoyed it and most of them
seemed to stay from the opening
at 10 am. until closing time at
10 p.m.
One of the outstanding features
of the Fair was the display of U.
N. and Near Eastern countries
flags which covered the walls.
These flags were made by Sheldon
Jackson Junior College students j
for graduation projects during the
past few years. A prize offered to
the one who identified the most i
flags was won by Ivan Rezek.
Another distinctive feature was
the Russian Tea which was served 1
by Mrs. Edwin VanHorn and Mrs.
Nick Lindquist. And, during the
evening, a style show was featured
by the Sitka Bazaar, Connie's
Dress Shop, Vi's Shop and Mar- i
ians.
The success of the project ex
ceeded everyone's expectations.
The fish pond was fished dry by
early afternoon and the candy sale
put on by the Library Board ran
out of merchandise at the same
time. Fresh supplies of pop and
coke were delivered throughout
the afternoon and evening.
The community feels deeply
grateful to the members of the
Sitka Women’s Club for the tre
mendous amount of time and
thought put into the project and
many expressed the wish that the
ladies will make this an annual
porject.
The City Council took less than
an hour to whip through current
business at its regular Tuesday
evening meeting.
A letter from Grandy & Com
pany was read, suggesting that, in
order to get a lower interest rate,
the whole $133,000 bond project be
issued now but Councilmen de
oued no economy would result
since the $80,000 repaving project
could not be undertaken for at least
another two years. Instead they
voted to issue the $53,000 needed
immediately for the new fire
iruck, sidewalk repairs, sewers and
drainage.
A letter from the office of edu
cation of the Federal Security
Agency in Washington, D. C. in
formed Council that it was eligible

eive information on the Dan Mol
ler Memorial Park and Council
agreed to set up a twelve member
board for its management; three
members from each of the follow
ing; Elks, Moose and American
Legion and three members to be
appointed by the Mayor. Norman
Banfield, Juneau attorney, is draw
ing up all legal papers free of
charge, it was announced.
The purchase of a second hand
concrete mixer for $250 was ap
proved; bills totaling $784.67 were
approved and Council adjourned.

the half-hour caucus held Wed
nesday evening at the Fire Hall.

of the series of crashes of planes
in its Alaskan Patrol Squadron

YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
Very often there is a great
difference between the estates
men leave and the estates their
families receive. This is due to
estate shrinkage from post
mortem taxes, such as estate
taxes, inheritance taxes, in
come taxes due and accrued,
property taxes due and ac
crued; probate costs, admin
istration costs, debts.
To often, in order to raise
cash to meet these obligations,
It is necessary to sell valuable
estate assets at a sacrifice.
One of the great advantages
of life insurance is that it im
mediately creates a fund upon
death which can be used to
ward payment of post mortem
taxes and other estate ex
penses.

Another Reason Why
You’ll Prefer Budweiser
Year in, year out, we pay premium prices
for a special type of brewing barley. Then,
as good as it is, only the plumpest grains
are selected for malting.
Choicest hop blossoms and rice are added
in the costliest brewing process known.
Then come two fermentations and much,
much longer-than-average ageing...and
you get Budweiser.
