TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1949 SOLONS KEEP ON WINNING, P. (. LEAGUE (By the Associated Press) The surging Sacramento Solons keep right on surging. They trimmed Los Anzeles 5 to 1 in the Pacific Coast League's only Mcnday night game. The win gained the Sclons a half-game on Hollywood, the idle league-lead Tke Stars are five games in front The win was the Solons 18th in their last 21 starts. Ken Holcombe’s arm was principal reason for the An downfall. The Solon hurler spacea five hits and allowed cnly one Anze! past first base after the first in- th ning. The Angels pulled a triple play that appeared and then disap- peared in a matter of seconds. Um- pires Gordon Ford and Pat Oir overruled Umpire Ira Gordon in nullifying the triple-killing. The disallowed play started when Angel outfielder Clarence Maddern made a going-away catch of Jim Tabor’s hard hit ball into deep letr. His throw trapped two Solon run- ners who were going around the bases like mad. Gordon called them cut. However, Ford and Orr ruled that Maddern trapped the ball off the wall and reinstated the runners. Taktor was credited with a hit.

Musial isn't even in the top ten although he koosted his mark from .290 to .304 with a sensational eight for 14 at Brooklyn’s Eblwts Field. Slaughter, however, shot up from 13th to a tie for third with another Redbird teammate, Al (Red) Schoendienst. The hustling Cardinal outfielder collected 15 hits in 30 times during the week and raised his figure to .323. That was still 36 points be- hind Robinson’s league leading .35¢. The brilliant Brooklyn second baseman fell off a bit, shedding seven points from his 366 of a week ago. Robinson's closest pursuer was Willard Marshall, the stocky out- fielder of the New York Giants, whose .332 entitled him to second ‘place. FIGHT DOPE Resuits of fights last night are; as follows: N At Brooklyn—Herbie Kronowitz, 158%, Brooklyn, outpointed Lou Valles, 159, New York, (8).

Not only did they defeat the Yankees, but the; turned the tables on Vic Raschi who had whipped them four j straight times this year. The Yan kee ace went the route for the 15t time, but was tagged for 11 hits jand went down to his fourth de- feat. He has won 15. Wynn regis- tered his eighth victory against twe setbacks, but needed help fror In the only National League game, the Dodgers, striving to sav( something from their disastrous series with the Redbirds, had & settle for a nine-inning tie as the i Cards overcame a 3-1 deficit in the sixth, With two away in the sixth, Sta [Musial doubled, Enos Slaughter jwalked, and Ron Northey scored them both with a two-base hit Rocky Nelson’s two-bagger brought in Northey to put the Cards ahead 14-3.

JUNIOR MOUNTAINEER SETS PACE FOR PARTY CLIMBING MT. JUNEAU A youngster set the pace for a party of mountain climbters Satur- day, but it was too fast a clip for the adults. “You folks are too slow!” was the cnly complaint made by John Elkins, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Elkins. As tie adults “took it easy” on the steep slopes| of Mount Juneau, Johnny would call from ahead, “Come on, 7ou guys, what are you waiting for? One of the group, Miss Mary, Louise Crowell, wonders if John may be the youngest climber to his name i the record book at the top. In the group were John and hisl parents, Miss Crowell and Mrs. | {Urban Nelson. They made the ascent in about five hours, and came down in three and a half. The trail is in fine condition, and | Leautiful flowers in many varieties| are to be seen, they report. They saw lots of ptarmigan—but not one bear! CALLED COMMUNICATION Of Mt.
