The Acorns deserve at least half of the credit themselves, however. They lambasted Hollywood again by a convincing 10 to 5 margin in an eighth inning uprising which produced four runs. on four hits. Pinky Woods, the Stars’ strapping righthander, was the victim as the Oaks hiked their series edge to three and one West's contribution to the Oak- lanq cause was this: The Padre home run czar clouted his 39th round tripper of the sea- son early in the game to help give San Diego a 5 to 2 lead over Sac- ramento at the end of six innings. But the Solons tied it up in the seventh, and it stayeq there until OI' Max stepped up again in the tenth to single Whitey Wietelman across with the winning run. The score was 6-5. The win put the Sacs back in third place. At Portland, meanwhile, Dr. Francis Dierick, the medical pro- fession’s gift to organized baseball, | | TAKE JOB IN JAPAN | swallowed a bitter pill last night. The good doctor was unable to : diagnose Seattle’s batting power, and the Rainiers operated on him lor a 5 to 2 triumph over the Beavers. A pitching duel developed at Los Angeles as San Francisco edged the cellar squad, 2 to 1.

Incomparable Hironoshin Furu- hashi and company finisheq their mop-up of National AAU titles last night as Mr. F. clicked off another world record in the 800 meter free style. But, fortunately for American face, unheralded Robert Gibe of the Detroit Athletic Club came through to win the 100-meters and prevent a free style sweep by the Nipponese.

In making a motion picture from Mary Jane Ward's best-selling novel, “The Snake Pit,” 20th Cen- tury-Fox Production Chief Darryl F. Zanuck once again has ignored | [exisung taboos by tackling a sub- ject that until now has been dis- | cussed only in whispers. Without resorting to any documentary treat- ment and resisting the temptation to preach, he has put over his point simply bty presenting a great and ! powerful story with forceful and the American team title goes home with the Tokyo Swim Club tomor- row night, The six-man Nip team |amassed 62 ponts, more than the next two teams combined. The big buzz still was on over Furuhashi’'s unheard-of feats of battering world’s records for the 400, 800 and 1500 meters on successive nights. He also led his mates to a jnew international standard in the 800-meter free style relay. { The 21-year-old aquatic machine from Fujiyama enegotiated the 800 meters in 9:35.5, chipping 154 big seconds off Bill Smith's mark set in 1941 HI INSTRUCTOR T0 Emily Madsen, English instructor at Juneau High School the past year Ihns resigned her position, Superin- announces. leave soon for Japan where she will be a civilian employee under the Eighth Army.

How well he has succeeded with the film is indicated by the preview comments the picture has nlready‘ received. Louella Parsons, for ex- ample, said: “It will prove a sensa- tion . . . you will never forget it.” Columnist Samuel Grafton felt it is “easily one of the five best pic- ’Lures ever made in America,” while Hedda Hopper stated it is “power= fully and superbly done.” In casting the picture, which was directed by Anatole Litvak, there was no hesitation about assigning the leading role to Olivia de Havil- lland. She was eager to appear in {the film, fully aware that it would |give her the greatest dramatic op- portunity of her career. Everyone in the large cast shared Miss de ,Havmands feellng about appearing in “The Snake Pit.” Mark Stevens,| | who is also starred with Leo Genn, enacts the role of her husband. | BEN SCHOEN SERVICES PLANNED FOR TUESDAY' | i Final rites for Ben Schoen, long- | time Juneau resident who diedl Wednesday at the age of 80, have been tentxtively set for Tuesday | afternoon at the Charles W.
