Y. ¢ 65% Grain Neutral Spirits STANWYCK-NIVEN FILM AT CAPITOL TO CLOSE TONIGHT “The Other Love,” which will close a three-day run tonight at the Capitol Theatre, is Erich Maria Remarque's fifth powerful contri- bution to the motion picture tield. Starring Barbara Stanwyck, David Niven and Richard Conte, “The Other Love” unravels the threads of mental conflict which a brilliant concert pianist goes through after a collapse because of too strenuous a tour until she comes to accept the resultant shortened life span and prescribed inactivity. David Niven plays the coctor who falls in love with his patient and Richard Conte portrays a dynamic spertsman playtoy who provides | Miss Stanwyck, as the pianist, with a final fling at tempestuous ro- mance, For the musical aspects of the film, Ania Dorfman, renowned vir- tuoso, played Beethoven's “Fur Elise,” Rubenstein’s Concerto in D minor and the E-flat Concerto and Etude in D-flat, both by Liszt, for the sound track while Miss Stan- wyck did the fingerwork for the cameras. PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HIT BY (By Astociated Press) Even the world of professional sports has been touched by the pound devaluation. Jack Solomons, the London box- ing promoter, said that the de- valuation may knock his plans for Transatlantic bouts into a cocked hat. Solomons is dickering for Buitisher Freddie Mills to defend his world light heavyweight crown .in London against Joey Maxim of Cleveland, Ohio, in November. Other bouts featuring American fighters are planned. But here's the catch, . . . Amerjcans who fight in London have been getting their purse money in dollars at the old offi- | cial rate of $4.03 to the pound. Now that the pound has been devalued, they'll get 30 percent less. Unless, of course, the British promoters ante up the difference. TWO MEN BATILE FOR BATTING LEAD NEW YORK, Sept. 20—(®—Jackie Robinson of Brooklyn and Enos Slaughter of St. Louis are hooked up in a man-to-man battle for the National League batting title that is every bit as close as the Dodger- Card'nal struggle for the pennant. Robinson’s lead, once some 35 points, has melted to three points under Slaughter’s persistent attack When the Cards came east on their first trip last spring, Slaugh- hitting. Now he’s smashing the ball at a 341 clip, close behind Robin- son’s leading .344. LEADERS IN B. B. Here are the leaders in the major caseball leagues through Monday games: NATIONAL LEAGUE Batting — Robinson, Brooklyn, .346; Slaughter, St. Lous, .340. Runs Batted In — Robinson, Brooklyn, 120; Kiner, Pittsburgh, 119. Home Runs — Kiner, Pittsburgh, 50; Musial, St. Louis, 33.

LEAGUE| ter was riding the bench for weak THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA CARDS, DODGERS T0 PLAY THREE - GAME SERIES IN FLAG RACE By WILL GRIMSLEY Brooklyn's “B” Twins — Ralph Branca and Rex Barney—have hit their old stride again. The Dodgers’ pitching staff appears at peak strength for the stretch run in the tight National League pennant race This is discomforting news for the 2t. Louis Cardinals, who saw their lead chopped to a game and a halt last night and who have a three- game series with the pursuing Dodgers coming up tomorrow. Branca and Barney, the erratic roommates who fell short of the 20-game victory marks predicted for them in the spring, may play a big role in the important St. Louis stand. Both fashioned notable conquests the last couple of days over the Chicago Cubs. Barney turned in- one of the best pitched games of the season yes- terday in shutting out the Cubs on {ope hit, 4-0. He faced only 28 men, [none reached second and the only Llow off him was Phil Cavarretta’s single opening the eighth. A few hours later the Cardinals ran afoul a couple of Philadelphia rookies and lost to the Phillies, 4-3, to have their advantage whittled to 1'% games. This adds new pressure to the Dodger-Cardinal series opening with a day-night doubleheader m St. Louis tomorrow. AMERICAN LEAGUE In the American League the New York Yankees increased their lead to three full games of the idle Bos- !ton Red Sox cy trimming Cleve- |land, 6-0. It was the fourth straight triumph over first division foes for Yankees and their ninth victory in the last ten games. Lefty Ed Lopat pitched a five- hitter in shutting out the Indians, irecording his 15th victory of the season. Rookies John (Jocko) Thompson and Ed Sanicki were the Phillies who jelted the Cardinals. Thomp- son, a 29-year-old lefthander, held the Cards scoreless for six innings. Sanicki, a 22-year-old outfielder, batted in three runs for the Phils, two of them on a homer, In the other National League games, the New York Giants won a ten-inning affair from Pitts- burgh, 6-4, and the Boston Braves whipped Cincinnati, 6-2. Ralph Kiner hit his 50th home run of the season for the Pirates to become the first player in tl Naticnal League to hit that mark twice. Kiner, who is pressing Hack Wilson's league record total of 56, poled 51 in 1947. The only other game in the American League saw the Phila- !delphia Athletics push over three |runs in the eighth to subdue the St. Louis Browns, 7-4. SCRIMMAGE WORK FOR HUSKIES FOR GAME SATURDAY | SEATTLE, Sept. 20—(®—Wash- ington gridders got no rest cure yes- terday for muscles that still ached from the heavy going of Saturday’s Odell tossed a full-scale scrimmage session at the Husky squad in preparation for this Saturday's clash with Minnesota at Minne- 4polis.

The Hollywood Stars, four games ; ahead of runner-up Oakland have| merely to take four games in their series of seven with fourth place Seattle to win the flag outright.” In last night's only lengue activity, last place Los Angeles and next-to-last place Portland par- | ticipated in an inconsequential re- play of a doubleheader rained out earlier at Portland. The Angels won both games, 9 to 1 and 2 to 1, thereby eliminating Portland’s chances of taking over sixth place from San Francisco. STANDINGG Cr' THE CLUBS Pacific Coast League l !

NEW YORK, Sept. 20—(P—The eague leading New York Ys.nkm' maintained their three-game mar- gin over the Boston Red Eox today by squeezing out a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Yesterday he began the long trek back. But not because he was forced Oregon officials had decided not to ask for extradition. He was free to stay in Alaska, charges would be pressed only if he returned to Oregon. Yet, after a talk with Bernie Hulk, Juneau Police Chief, he de- cided to return to Oregon. “We talked about his future,” Hulk said today. “I just mentioned that some day he'd want to get married. And then he'd have to tell the girl about it. He thought for a couple of minutes. Then he said he'd better go back.” Earlier th's week, he was ve- leased from the City Jail where heI had been a model prisoner. He went | to work with a construction com-| pany here. Yesterday he got a chance to work his way south on a power and he jumped at the ! chance. But before he went, he told Hulk, ‘Thank all the people that helped jme out, Bernie. Tell them thanks a lot.” Today he is on his way south, possibly to prison, but certainly wil- ling to make complete restitution. He wants to be able to “look| anyone in the eye.” ien oy AIR EXPRESS! that your Alr express means immediate delivery te youl Simply write or wire your favorite shop er your business house, requesting Express, and Alaska Coastal speeds It te you in @ matter of hours!
