More than 7,000 fans filled the Seattle stadium for game. Oakland fell before Hollywood in the opening game of their series as John Bittner limited the Oaks to three hits.

THE WHISKEY WITH “NO ROUGH EDGES” ~ GAS HOUSE GANG GETS Pirates Beafen Twice by Cards - Rookie South- paw Holds Senators (By Associated Press) Augie Galan whipped Cincinnati naturally won. The league leaders had six men stranded on bases. Gas House Gang Works Playing like the Gas House Gang of five years ago, the St. Louis Cardinals bowled over the Pitts- burgh Pirates twice yesterday after- noon. The Cards have now won 15 games in the last 17 starts. Lose by One Run For the thirteenth time this sea- son the Bees lost by a one-run margin as they fell before the Phillies in the nightcap of a double- header. Boston won the opener yes- terday. 4 Hits—3 Runs Two big innings were all the Giants needed yesterday to beat the Dodgers. They made four hits good {for three runs in the first frame inning. Bankie Wins Marius Russo, rookie southpaw held Washington to four hits as the Yankees offset Dutch Leonard’s six- | hit pitching yesterday. 1 Cleveland Wins Two Cleveland pulled within half a !game of the third-place Chicago i White Sox by taking a doubleheader from the St. Louis Browns yester- dny afternoon. Twelve Innings Relief Pitcher Clint Brown threw a home run ball to Charley Gehr-| inger yesterday afternoon and had | to work overtime before the Chi- icago White Sox came through in| | the twelfth inning to beat the De- troit Tlgevs ‘GERALD BODDING . LICENSED FLIER, ‘, RETURNING HOME Gerald Bodding, Juneau boy who went to California early this year to learn to fly, obtained a com- mercial license recently at the Ryan | | School of Aeronautics at San Diego, and is leaving there tomorrow for home. After visiting in Seattle, he will return to Juneau. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Bodding. ' Beffer than Baugh! | WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. — The {Washington Redskins have an- nounced the acquisition of a for- ward passer heralded as the su- perior of even sensational “Slinging Sammy” Raugh. The newcomer is Lyn Warren, a former Stetson University boy rec- !ommended by a former Redskin, Dale Waters, as potentially a great- elrdpmr than Baugh or Ed Danow- ski.

Donald would rather be known as “Dick.” But it was the Atley handle that sports writers piled into the records during the Yankee pitch- er's 12-game winning streak and that's the name the public has grasped. It probably will be hard to shake. It's tough enough, Atley—beg par- don—Dick explains, to be out there trying to protect a one-run lead th the bases loaded. But to hear a falsetto voice from the enemy |dugout in a honey-dripping “Yoo hoo, Atley!” is plain murderous. A name like Atley, Donald claims, is just what the “jockeys” ordered. He has a point. Suppose some other ball players were known by their comparatively unknown but proper names: “Chubby” Dean of the Philadel- phia Athletics could be excused for a wild pitch if someone let loose with: “You're looking lovely, Lovill.” And “Aloha, Aloysius” might send shivers up and down the spines of three ball-playing hobres. They're John Aloysius (Buddy) Hassett, Bos- ton Bees’ singing infielder; Aloysius (Al) Simmons of the same club, and | Aloysius Bejma of the Chicago White Sox. Two of Donald’s teammates should | be sympathetic. Sub-catcher Warren Vincent Rosar sneaks by with “Bud- dy” and First Baseman Ellsworth Dahlgren gets “Babe,” a fine old baseball moniker. A few others escape smoothly. There's Elburt Fletcher, Pittsburgh Pirates’ pepper-pot who's always “Elbie.” Claiborne Henry Bryant, Cubs’ pitcher, is “Clay” on the sports pages and Camfield Hack, Cub in- | fiélder, is “Stan.” Jerome Herman | (Dizzy) Dean doesn't have much choice between his nickname and the McCoy. But Mr. Donald, who was Atley for 12 straight victories, probably will be Atley for the rest of his major league career, | Which is a tough break for “Dick” | Donald. e | AR PR ( ! | 'Monkey Training As a Hobby Becomes Full-fime Occupation.
