Z - S S “— I G0 WA - Tt THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— JUNEAU, ALASKA e & Q& RAINIERS IN DOUBLE WIN OVER SUNDAY By BILL BECsER Acsociatea rress Sportswiier The Seattle Rai:iers are the talk of the Pacific Coast League today. Riding to two shutout victories over the hard-hitting Sacramento Solons Sunday, 6-0 and 1-0, the Rainiers wound up with a 6-1 magin for the series, the firs® ti.ey've won this season. The wins ran Seattle’s streak to five straights—the longest foi the nertherners and seemed to serve notice to the other clubs that Jo- Jo White finally has his veteran club squared away and out of the cellar for good. ‘The double calsomine job was served up by Kewpie Dick Barrett and Sig Jakucki. The aging rizht- handers gave up seven hits be- tween them in 16 innings. The results left the Rainiers in a fairly solid seventh place, two and one-half games ahead of the Hollywood Stars who ran their losing string to eight straight— reason's worst—before finally win« ning the first game of a twin bill from league-leading San Francisco by a 5-1 score. The Stars’ Xavier Rescigno bested Bob Joyca. The Seals, behind another slick pitching job by young Bob Ches- nes, bounced back to take the nightcap, 4-1, and hang up an- other 6-1 series slam. It was Chesnes' ninth win—tops for loop—against two defeats. The Angels came a cropper Casey Stengel's bustling Oaks and lost their first series of the year, four games to three. After Ray Prim’s six-hitter gave the Angels the cpener, 5-2, the Oaks' Dewey Soriano shaded Red Lynn in a 1-0 duel. The win enabled the Stengelites to shoulder their way into the first division for the first time, a half-game ahead of fifth- place San Diego. San Diego—as have all at Portland—had a tough week twin bill and coming out on the twin bill and comin gout on the short end of a 5-2 series count Ed Vitalich hurled the Padres to a five-hit, 5-2 decision in the first game, but the Beavers rallied be- hind Jack Salveston to run off with the finale, 9-4. The Beavers thus found them- selves in third place, four games tack on the Seals. If they could approximate their home pace while on the road, the Oregonians would be topping the circuit. At home, they've won 18, lost 10. On the 10ad, the Beavers have nabbed only seven while dropping 12. STANDING Or CLURS Pacitic Coast reaguce w L Pct.

Black Douglas, float- ing laboratory of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, arrived here | yesterday enroute to the Pribilof Islands, where it will be used in studies of the food and migration | habits of fur seals. The scientific staff consists of Victor B. Shetfer, Seattle; William (H. Sholes, jr., San Francico; and |Robert Z. Bréwn, Swartmore, Pa. A fourth biologist will join the group in June. In command of the Black Doug- las, is Clyde I. Dell, Seattle. Chief |Engineer is Leroy “Bud” McDon- ,ald. “'She carries a crew of 15. | The Black Douglas was purchas- ed by the Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice in 1941, but was taken over by the U. S. Navy before it could be put into service as a srlentilic| vessel. It was used as a patrol yacht, during the war, working out of Neah Bay, Wash. The Black Douglas plans to reach the Pribilofs in early June. (Following completion of its sur-} 'vey there, it will make a fall cruise to the western Aleutian Islands and a winter cruise to the California-Oregon coast. B TAYLOR TO FAIRBANKS Tke P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, left his Juneau office today for Fair- banks, on his anual summer field wip. He will be absent several weeks. £ | — } Let Empire “wan-tads™ run yoi errands. Ckeap and efficlent! (ardsGiven Hard Swals By l;eflers By JOE REICHLER (A ociated Press Speris Writer) Some have called it a Others have called it just start.” But it was apparent today the trouble with the world c pion St. Louis Cardinals is that the rest of the National League has been ganging up on them with an junorthodox lLarrage of lefthanded - pitchers. Including their double deieat by the Philadelphia Phillies yvesterday -which incidentally sunk them deeper into the cellar, seven full games off thie pace—the frustraled Redbirds have been beaten by scuthpaws 11 times this season against only two wins against port- side pitching. Gang Up On Cards In 27 games, rival managers have started lefthanders against them 18 times and om 14 occasions were rewarded with victories. One game ended in a tie and the Cards won the other three. That is a far cry from last year when the Redbird won 36 games from lefthanders against only 24 defeats for a per- centage of 600 that was just 28 points off their season’s average. After Ken Heintzelman, ex-Prite, held the Cards to nine hits in the cpener to beat them 6-3, Ken Ruf- fensberger blanked the Cards through 12 irnings to win the night- cap 1-0. Except for the Cards, the Nation- al League pennant race resembles a mob scene with only a game and a half separating the first place Boston Braves and the sixth place Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves retained their half game edge over the New York Gi- ants by splitting a double header with the Reds in Cincinnati, win- ning the second game behind Red Barrett, 3-1 after Ewell Blackwell of the Reds had outpitched Mort Cooper in the opener 2-1 Giants In Second Spot After the Pittsburgh Pirates had overcome a 6-1 New York lead in the opener tc win 7-6, the Giants came back to take the abbreviated seven-iniing nightcap 11-6 to re- tain second place. The Dcdgers ended a skein of 18 scoreless innings by tallying four times in the seventh to down the Cubs 4-2 before a record Chicago crowd of 46.572 admissions Bobby Feller made his first start of the season at Yankee Stadium a success by turning back the New York Yankees 5-3, gaining his fifth victory against ihree setbacks Senaters Lose Two Scoring two runs in the ninth inning of each game, the Chicago White Sox took the measure of Washington's Senators twice in the Capitol City 4-2 and 3-2. Philadelphia’s surprising Athletics Park 4-3 and 5-2. Rain washed out the scheduled double header between the Tigers at Fenway Park. They are slated to try again today in a pair.
