Frank Parker Tells Tennis Authorities What They Can Do- SOUTH ORANGE, N.

Parker, who completely outclassed day, 6-2, 9-7, 6-2, said he thought he had earned the right to play in the cup competition. “And, furthermore,” he added, “if the authorities don’t think I've earned my Davis Cup berth by beating Schroeder they know what they can do with their team—as far as I'm concerned.” Last year, Parker -pointed out, Jack Kramer played only at Wim- . bledon before being selected for the Distributed throughout Alaska cup team, by ODOM COMPANY { bid Se: TOP SPOT (By The Associated Press) By the narrow margin of three percentage points, the San Fran- cisco Seals today led the' Pacific| Coast League race. The Seals preserved their lead! by splitting a doubleheader with ! Casey Stengel's persistent Oakland outfit. San Francisco won the morning game, 5 to 3, and Oak- land, collecting five runs in the, first inning, took the windup 12-'1.‘ Actually, San Francisco is in a much better position since it has played four less games than Oak- land, and has the opportunity of widening the advantage. This week ' the Seals draw the lowly Holly- wood Stars at San. Francisco, while Qakland has to battle the resurg-| ing Angels in Los Angeles. ; Los Angeles spanked Hollywood in both ends of their Sunday bill, taking the first, 6 to 1, and the next, 9 to 3. The Angels captur- ed the series, five games to.two. Portland and San Diego split their double bill, the, Padres grab- bing the opener, 7 to 5, with Port- land nabbing the nightcap, 6 to 4.

" replied the stranger, “I'm Bob Henry, the guy who owns the car.” And that's the story of a 37 pound 13 ounce $almon which proved to be worth nearly $2,000. Henry and his uncle had made the trip to Juneau the first part of June to try ‘their luck at fish- ing, and until the Derby, the so- called luck wasn’t worth mention- ing. | but who “I was trying to save a little money this summer to help with expenses when attending the Uni- versity of Washington this fall,” said Henry, “but until the Derby, I was doing little more than break- ing even. First, I'd miss the good runs and then I'd go in the hole replacing broken tackle and other gear, and all considered, the unc’ and I were having tough luck with the fishing: venture . . . Winning the Plymouth sure saved my neck!” Bob sald he fought the fish for an hour and fifteen minutes and that the pole was broken for the last forty-five minutes of the tussle. “Thought I was going to lose him more than once,” continued Bob, “but the - big fellow finally | gave up the fight after pulling us all over the bay and in and out of a - great number of other fishing boats.” Bob said it was the largest fish he's ever caught, was the most val- uable pound for pound that he’s 2] where it is planned to sell the car.| So, with another . salmon derby | under the - bridge, here's wishing| Bob a lot of luck with his future fishing and hoping to see him | out for the big one when the 1949 Derby rolls around ce eee STANDING OF CLUBS National League Team: Boston | Brooklyn St. Louis Pittsburgh New York | Philadelphia Cinetnnati Chicago American League w 67 67 65 61 52 4“4 43 36 L 42 45 45 46 56 65 64 n “Team: Cleveland Philadelphia Boston New York .
