THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1950 JOE PAGE IS LOSING ~ AS HURLER (By the Associated Press) What ever happened to fireman Joe Page of 1949—the greatest re- lief pitcher ever? Recent work of the New York Yankees' bullpen artist reminds fans of the Page of 1948—an in- and-outer who flopped after a glori- ous pennant year in 1947. Highest priced of all Yankee pitchers with a $30,000-plus wage, Page failed the world champs yes- terday for the second day in a row. Bothered by a sinus infection dur- ing the long home stand, Page has seen little action. He had a week’s rest before Stengel tried him in Chi- cago Tuesday night. Joe didn’t have it. Allie Reynolds was one out away from victory yesterday when the ‘White Sox caught up with him, with two gone in the ninth and New York leading, 2-1, a single and walk by pinch hitters Floyd Baker and Luke Appling and a single by Chico Carrasquel tied the score. Stengel took the ball from Allie and waved in Page. Joe’s third pitch to Dave Philley sailed into the lower left field seats homer and the ball game, 5-2. Last season Page strode from the bullpen 60 times. The Yanks won 42, lost 17, and tied one of those games, so far in 19 appearances by Page, New York has won 11 and lost eight. Especially alarming to Stengel is Page’s new habit of throwing the home run ball. Five hitters have hit ¥ homers off him so far. Only seven did the trick all last season. Page’s failure cost the Yanks a chance to gain on Detroit. Instead the Tigers clung to their half game lead despite an 8-2 defeat by Phila- delphia. Lou Brissie, whose only previous win came May 27 when he stopped a New York nine-game win streak, turned in a neat six-hit job against the league leaders. ‘The Athletics handed Dizzy Trout his first loss, with Elmer Valo and Eddie Joost hitting home runs. Five homers featured the night game between Cleveland and Bos: ton, won by the Indians, 7-3. Larry | Doby, Al Rosen and Lou Boudreau were the long distance clouters for | Cleveland, Vern Stephens and Ted | Williams for the Red Sox. Williams collected No. 19 off Mike Garcia in the third with one on. Ellis Kinder continued to throw that gopher ball up to the plate, yielding all three Cleveland homers.

But last night the Solons couldn’t be stopped, principally because of :lhird baseman Jim Tabor’s homer in the eighth inning. The Stars had |tied it, 3-3, in the seventh.

McLish became the first | Angel pitcher in two years to win {10 games and he smacked a three- ‘run homer to help himself along. It was the first one he ever hit right- i handed, although he had a lefty four-master against Seattle last year. He held the Rainiers to five (hits_and struck out seven men. Tod Davis and Frank Colman homered for Seattle, the latter mak- |ing it 3-3 in the third. There the count stayed until the sixth when ! the Angels let go for five runs, in- cluding McLish's noble effort.

Members of the “Shank, Ship and Shutter Club” plan a trip by boat to Taku glacier on next Saturday. One week later the club members will hike to Lemon Creek glacier. ‘Twenty-five members of the club went in ca to the beginning of the trail to Herbert Glacier last Saturday. Claire Olson, a member of the Hiking Club, says: “The five mile trail to the face of the glacier was not at all difficult Climbing up to the rocky shoulder overlooking the glacier was more rugged. The flowers along the trail, including the false hellebore, were very pretty. We took many good pictures of the glacier and the blue ice tunnels. We learned that it is dangerous to hike too close to the face of the glacier. What seems to be firm ground may give way, dropping the hiker into a soupy mixture caused by the glacier melting underneath. It was worthwhile hike.” a FROM KETCHIKAN Norman B.
