Next to beating ‘the Dodgers, the Redbirds get the greatest delight out of mak- ing the experts look foolish. RemembBer those pre-season re- ports on the Cards? Too old. Nr reserves. ‘A one-man ball club. Tsk tsk. Is our face red? With a lineup shot as tull of holes as a slab of Swiss cheese, the scrappy St. Louis gang has man- aged to win five of its last six games. They capped it off last night with " a thrilling victory over their hated rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers. The score was 3-2. Until the last half of the ninth, Brooklyn was in front, 2-0. Starter Joe Hatten had held the Redbirds to three hits up to that point. Hatten began the last inning by walking Chuck Diering. Enos Slaughter singled Diering to sec- ond. Marty Marion, making his first appearance of the season, batted for Steve Bilko and fanned. Eddie Kazak, another pinch hit- ter, lined out. One more out to go and the Dodger lefthander would own two straight shutouts. But it never came. Red Schoendienst singled, scoring Diering. That was all for Hatten Another pinch hitter, Bill Hower- ton, faced Willard Ramsdell. How- erton singled to right scoring Slaughter with the tying run as Schoendienst raced to -third. A wild pitch by Ramsdell allowed Schoendienst to cross the plate with the winning run. Hatten wat charged with the loss. /The victory moved the Cards intc a virtual tie for second place, = game and a half behind the front- running Dodgers. It was the only game played ir the National League. All other téams were idle, resting up for their intersectional clashes. There was no action in the American League. Philadelphia and Boston, only clubs scheduled, were foiled by the weather.

The Yellow Cedar Company of Alaska is not at all worried by the nearby competition, the Juneau Lumber Company, The Thane mill, specializing m‘ yellow cedar but also suwlngl spruce, has plenty of orders to keep it busy, according to Norm Durocher, business manager. The plant began operation Oct- ober 1 and, with orders piling up, increased its mill crew today to six men,, It had been operating with a four-man crew since it orened after a three-month winter shutdown when logs could not be brought in. Original plans were to cut yellow cedar lumber exclusively, and while much of the 6,000 feet of lumber is spruce, enough of the tough, close-grained yellow cedar lumber is being cut to keep pace with the orders for air-dried furniture lum- ber. The Juneau Marine Com- pany is taking the mill's entire production of yellow cedar boat lumber, said to be as tough as Port Orford cedar. The yellow cedar company, which is Juneau owned and operated and was completely financed in Juneau, grew out of the ideas of two young Juneau men, Durocher and Jack Martin, a former logger in Wash- ngton state and Alaska. Product of their mill is marketed through the Don Abel building sup- ply company. The Juneau Lumber Company, whose new mill is operating on the property formerly owned by the Juneau Spruce Corporation, is now producing 50,000 board feet of lumber per day. It went into production Friday, i |EX-ALASKAN WINS "BUNION DERBY" OVER 67 RIVALS!

The run is limited to three days, Thursday through sm-‘ urday. The picture’s star, Broderick | Crawford was also a recipient of the award for the best performance of the year. Mercedes McCambridge won the accolade as the best sup- porting actress of the year in this film. Fortitudinous and a bit frighten- ing, as concerns its political impli- cations, is this biographical drama, based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pu- litzer Prize novel and treating with | the life and death of the late Huey Long. The film is first, and above all entertainment — gripping, com- pelling, emotion-stirring — the kind that should thrill thousands of movie-goers. And, in its above-average length, there isn’t a moment or a scene that cheats the film's overall fast tempo and excellence. Performances are thoroughly admirable and umre- lentingly convincing. It's one of! those rare pictures which tran- scends cast. Due to meticulous at- tention to production details, in- spired scripting and sterling direc- | tion it becomes a triumphant credit to Robert Rossen who wrote and d rected it. “All the King's Men” comes froui the Columbia Studios and stars Broderick Crawford, Joanne Dru, John Ireland, John Derek, Mercedes McCambridge and Shepperd Strud- wick. | There’s an easier way ALASKA'S KEY POINTS oaly Im.m away by Yes, this is the easy way to protect machinery, orchard-heatess, all ;L“' ;nd FIAS Cng corrosion.
