TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1946 OLDTIMERS SWAT ELKS REGULARS BY 14-1 SCORE The Oldtimers eat the Elks last night in a game that showed Juneauites that oldtime baseball is far irom dead. With errors more spectacular than hits and rain ceming down in the final innings the Oldtimers doubled the Elks, 14 to 7. Max Lewis was the winning pitcher and Dudley Smithberg tocsed for the Elks. The Oldtimers got 15 hits and 14 runs, while committing nine €rTers Schmitz was the big man at the plate, collecting three for five. Schmitz’ uncle and nephew played second for both teams. Be- wnd the plate it was the brothers Magorty, Jerry starting and Terry replacing him at his dare in the middle of a violent argument abcut whether the hit was fair or foul. It was a good old fashioned crowd cheering for whoever hap- pened to be at bat, and getting as big a kick out of the errors as the players did themselves. The Elks made their runs one each in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth, and three in the seventh. The Oldtimers made five in the second, four in the fourth and three in the fifth, then added two more in the sixth. Starting lineup for the Old- timers was: Schmitz, 2b; Philpes, 1b, 3b, p; Werner, ¢; Lewis p and 3b; Grummett, If; Ramsay ss; Har- By VICTOR GUMSON By Central Press Correspondent HOLLYWOOD—Now that the Pacific Coast league baseball sea- son is under way, energetic Gail Patrick is satisfied she has all of her time well occupied. Gail not only has a financial in- terest in the Hollywood Stars ball club, but also is its No. 1 fan. That occupies her evenings, except when she has a date. Gail now has two day-time careers. Of course, first there's the movies, where she’'s in constant demand. As an example, she nq gooner wound up camera work on “Rendenzvous With Annie” than the studio engaged her for “Claudia and David.” Then there’s her newest inter- est, a children’s shop in Beverly Hills called “The Enchanted Cot- tage.” Finds Baseball Relaxing Gail could hardly wait for the baseball season to open. She ex- plained: “I don’t think there’s anything more relaxing than watching a baseball game, It gives you an outlet for all your pent-up feelings. “I don’t believe there's anyone who can get more excited about it than I can. “I remember one instance where an umpire made a very bad de- cision. I gave him a dressing down, I can tell you. He did 1.0t show up for three days. Of course, someone may have been sick in his family.” Gail laughed at the recollection. Miss Patrick likes to talk about baseball and knows all the angles. The worst storm of the year had washed out several games and this correspondent remarked it would make for big crowds at a Sunday double-header. “No, it's funny,” said Gail. “Sunday double-headers don’t pull as you'd expect in Hollywood.

She explained how it happened: “We were walking along a street on the edge of the business district when we saw this house.

When people come in to purchase gifts for chil- dren we find out all about the children so as the gift would be something they could enjoy. “Then we keep a set of card in- dexes. On one we record the name of the purchaser, what he bought and who it was for., “Then we keep another card listing the name of the child, what the gift was and who bought it. “This has worked out wonder- fully well. It means as far as we are concerned no child will get two of the same thing for Chris/ mas or a birthday. No Duplications “You ‘know how disappointed a child can be when he opens his packages and finds several iden- tical gifts. “We have gpecialized service in making children's clothes. We had one case recently of a boy, son of one of the stars, who was allergic to wool. So we made his clothes of a material which wouldn't af- fect him. “Of course, sometimes we have some unusual costumers. A very well known star came in recently and bought what is known as a ‘burp set’ for babies. He wanted to send it to another prominent star as a gag. “We think we have a very un- usual shop. We have wallpaper of a very striking design and recent- ly we got wrapPing paper to match the wall paper.” Gail disclosed she recently had been made a very large offer for the shop, but refused it. “I figured if it was worth that much to them, it was worth morz than that to me,” she said. “But, et the best crowds when we have|of the work.
