Lonnie | Frey's double with two aboard| pushed over a brace in the sixth to spark the win, Sacramento countered all its runs in the third, but Seattle’s Guy Fletcher weathered several shaky moments to emerge with his second | game of the year. The San Diego Padres notched | their ninth straight win and step- ped ahead of the Coast League pack | two and a half games by taking ! tHeir series opener with Portland, 10 to 1. At the same time, Hollywood, 1949 champion, dropped further back i1 segond place by bowing 10-2 last night in their series debut with a hard-hitting Oakland club. It was _the third loss in a row for the fad- g’ stars. Weteran Red Embree managed to York his way out of the tight spots to go the full distance for the| Padres. The Los Angeles Angels, fresh from series wins over the pace- setting Padres and Stars, opened fast against San Francisco. The sgbre was 7 to 0.

A Red Sox official, who shall re- main unidentified, would have you | believe that the unmercitul trounc- ing the Bronx Bombers handed McDermott at the Yankee Stadium a week ago today was a blessing in disguise. During the recent spring drills, when McDermott was causing Man- ager McCarthy to spend sleepless nights with his indifferent pertorm- ances, a Sox official confided: “That McDermott could become a great pitcher if only he gets serious about his job. The trouble with him is that he's too cocky. * “What he needs,” the club spokes- man continued, “is a good pummel- | ing.” Got Pummeiing He got his pummeling all right. The Yankees took care of that last WWednesday. A dozen men faced McDermott in less than two innings and eight reached base. Four solid hits including a pair of home runs produced four runs in the first in- ning. A hit and three bases on balls furnished another run in the sec- ond and sent McDermott to a quick shower. N It seems that was the lesson Mc- Dermott needed. In his very next start, Maury pitched one of the best games of his big league career. That came yesterday when he hurled the Red Sox to a 6-1 triumph over the! Cleveland Indians. The gangling 21-year-old left- hander from Schenectady, N.Y., al- lowed only four hits and missed a shutout when Joe Gordon slammed a ninth inning home run. Single Ends Dream Maury had a no-hitter for six innings. An infield single by Larry Doby in the seventh ended his dream in that direction. Ted Williams helped Boston ring up its fifth straight triumph with his fourth home run. The Brooklyn Dodgers gained re- venge for Monday night'’s loss to St. Louis, trouncing the Cardinals, 10-3. Preacher Roe returned to form with a well-scattered 10-hit effort. Pittsburgh shelled Warren Spahn from the mound in the first inning with a four-run outburst and went on to defeat the Boston Braves, 6-1 The Braves’ lefthander had won his first three starts. The Cubs outlasted the Philadel- zelman for seven runs in the first two innings. Once again, rain played havoc with the schedule, washing out four Postponed were the New games. York-Chicago, Detroit-Philadelphia and Washington-St. Louis games in the American League; and New York-Cincinnati in the National. SPORTSMEN FIGHT BAN ON ADS FOR SALMON DERBIES Sportsmen everywhere are growl- ing to each other and to their congressmen because a post office ruling says that it is pure chance— aot skill—that any one fish is larger than any other taken in a fishing contest, and prohibits the use of mails to advertise fishing codeos and contests. According to information receive- 2d here from the National Wildlife Federation, three identical bills were ntroduced in Congress within three days seeking to clarify the law to except fishing contests. These bills, introduced by Rep- cesentative Charles P. Nelson (Me.) Russell V. Mack and Thor C. Toll- afson (Wash.), are now in the House Judiciary Committee. Spor- tsmen’s groups, outdoor writers, and individuals everywhere are writing their congressmen for immediate action on one of the bills. Aggravating the sports fisher- ren’s ire was a ruling given out by U. S. District Judge Fred L. Wham of East St. Louis, that bet- ung on horse racing and other sporting events is legitimate busi- 1ess involving skill and that it did not come within the lottery pro- vision of the law. Further information received from fishing contests which are held in nearly all parts of the United States indicates that postal authorities are not taking any ac- ton due to the storm of protests from every corner of the nation. 575, by Charles P. Nelson, of Maine; H. R. 7619 by Russell V. Mack, and H. R. 7621 by Thor C. Tollefson, both of Washington, seek to amend chapter 61 of title 18 of the Criminal Code by adding a new section, 1305, which reads as follows: Sec. 1305. Contests to Advertise or Develop Natural or Recreational Resources: “The provisions of this chapter shall not apply with respect to any fishing contest conducted by an official agency of any State or lconducted by an agency approved for that purpose by the Governor of any State where such contest is designed to advertise or develop the natural or recreational resourc- es of such State or any region or section thereof.” FIGHT DOPE Twe short bouts in fistic circles last night were: At Buffalo, N.Y. — Nick Barone, 177%, Syracuse, stopped Phil Mus- cato, 188, Buffalo, 4. At Los Angeles — Chu Chu Jim- inez, 134, Mexico City, and Chivero Chavez, 135, Los Angeles, drew, (1). (Fight stopped in first round when Jiminez suffered an eye cut).

Noyes, head of the Alaska Road Commission. Several months ago, hopes were held by Canadian highway engi- neers that they could force their way through Chilkat Pass and over a slide area near the U.S. border by May 1. Chilkat Pass itself is open now, but the slide area, less than two miles inside British Columbia from the border, has hampered opening the 160-mile road. Brig. A. B. Connelly, in charge of the Canadian portion of the Alaska Highway, left from White- horse several days ago to inspect progress being made on clearing the highway, and wired Colonel Noyes that he would inform him on the possibility of getting the road open. Last year the important cutoff wasn't clear until June 9. Last fall road engineers left clearing equip- ment at the summit of Chilkat, to enable an earlier start on road work. The May 15 date beats the 1949 date by “more than three weeks, even though it is later than hoped. Colonel Noyes left today for the American sector of the cutotf, to inspect progress on the U.S. side, tand will also look over the Cana- dian slide area. The American por- ! tion of the road, 42 miles long, has been passable for more than a month. HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. John C. Dunn, Marian Nich- i olson, and Corbett Shipp were ad- mitted to St. Ann’s hospital yester- day. Mrs. Ruth McCarthy, Francis Meek, Albert Taylor and Catherine McGill were dismissed. Sarah Williams of Yakutat was admitted to the Government hos- pital and Mattie Giatros of Juneau was dismissed. IFISHING BOAT FALCON | SINKS SW OF KODIAK; SURVIVORS PICKED UP The fishing vessel Faleon of Ju- neau sank early this morning 400 miles southwest of Kodiak Island, and a Coast Guard aircraft from Kodiak Island picked up survivors from the vessels shortly after noon. No casualties were reported. The Coast Guard was alerted when a loran station on Unimak Island picked up a message from the Falcon at 1 a.m., today Juneau time. The message said the Falcon was leaking badly and the crew was abandoning ship 10 miles south ot Mitrofania. The fishing vessel Albaiross, 24 miles from the estitaated position of the Falcon, was Jwroceeding mI assist the crew, the messages said A Coast Guard patrol aircraft from Kodiak began searching for the survivors early this morning and sighted them at 11:35 a.m., Ju- neau time. The survivors were picked up by the aircraft and taken to Sand Point on Popof Island. The Falcon’s listed owner is Alvin Osterback. It's home port is listed s Juneau. "PEPPER BOX" PISTOL FOUND IN HIGHLANDS An o1a “pepper wox” pisiol—ante- cedent of the famous six-shooters of grandfather’s day—was found re- cently in the Waynor Tract by Aut K. Olsen, Jr,, a carrier for The Em- pire. Alf happened on the gun as e was delivering papers in the High- lands subdivision, the six barrels peeping above ground in dirt that had recently been removed from an excavation. Alf took the gun home and cleaned it up, although evidence showed it had not been in the ground long—perhaps not more than several weeks. Its wooden handle was in good shape; rot would have set in if it had been in the damp earth much langer.

RUSS QUERY REPORT U.S. REBUILDS JAPAN TOKYO, May 3—(M—Russia to- day asked General MacArthur to explain military and news reports that the United States is rebuilding key Japanese naval and alr bases. It charged such rebuilding would be in violation of allied occupation | The top general of the Soviet ia’s complaint in a letter to Mac- Arthur. The Russian, Lt. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko, cited several published accounts of how the U. S. put new sinews in Japan's old naval bases| and built “a number of airfields from Hokkaido to Kyushu” which ‘can acccmmodate the country’s largest bombers.” Derevyanko quoted retired U. S. Adm. D. C. Ramsey as saying in April, 1948, when he was Pacific Fleet Commander, that “The naval bases at Sasebo, Kure anhd Yoko- suka, together with the bases on the islands of Okinawa and Guam, offer a formidable combination of forward operation bases in event of any future hostilities in the Far East.” U. S. military authorities said originally air and naval bases were | necessary to protect American and | British occupation forces. Sincé then they have been declared ess- ential for the protection of un- armed Japan, FROM IDAHO Mrs. La Vaughn Bellville of Mackay, Idaho, is registered at the Baranof Hotel. FROM MT.
