Kane | SEATTLE LOSES TO PORTLAND Examine the Pacific Coast League standings today and you find that this week’s activities so far have ac- complished a distinct separation be-,] tween the first and second division. There’s Hollywood, atop the lad- der by six games, after saying it with home runs to beat San Fran- cisco 7-5 last night. Oakland lost to Los Angeles, 8-2, but stays in sec- ond place. San Diego beat last place Sacramento, 8-2, to hold third place, nine games back. Portland’s 5-4 win over Seattle, along with San Francisco’s loss, boosted the Beavers into fourtn place, 11 games off the pace and one ahead of the Seals. The Los Angeles win;” and Seattle loss, broke tie for sixth place, leaving the a game in front of the a Angels Rainiers.

L PGA TOURNEY For Two Games | AU....ALASKA’S BIGGEST CELEBRATION says the Juno Dollar Store (By the Associated Press) | Bucky Harris' new Washington rhumba team — Consuegra and Marrero—have mucho stuffo on the old apple. Just ask Detroit. The Tigers saw Sandalio Con- suegra yesterday and Conrad Mar- rero Tuesday. They haven't seen the ball yet. Who are Consuegra anu Marrero? The red book says they both pitched for Havana in the Florida Interna- tional ( s B) last year. Con- suegra had a 6-5 record in 11 games. He’s a slim Cuban, just under 6 teet but only 150 pounds. Marrero, 2 chunky fellow, had a 25-8 record for a 152 earned run average. Consuegra whipped Detroit yes- terday, 12-4, with only five hits. Marrero, like his countryman a righthander, now is a regular starter with a 4-2 record. Half his wins are over Detroit’s first-place Tigers, 2 three-hitter and a four-hitter.

The winner will play Washington State tomorrow night for the cham- pionship. | In the first meeting Rutgers took close ong, 4 to 2. But sports writers till like Texas in tonight’s game.| They tab the Longhorns, defending | champions, as consistently the strongest team in the tournament. | They point out that all Rutgers’ runs were unearned, and that Her- man Hering, who held Texas to three hits, won't be ready for an-| other appearance on the mound. | Hering pitched last night as Rut- gers walloped Wisconsin 16 to 2.

A Last publication, June 22, 1950, IN DAMAGE DONE Forest fires in Alaska damage more than timber according to Dr. H. J. Lutz of the Yale School of Forestry Dr. Lutz, an expert on soils and plant ecology, passed through Ju- neau Monday en route to the In- terior where he will continue a study started last year, of the ef- fect of fires on the vegetation of the Interior. The project is part of the Alaska Forest Research Cen- ter's program The Interior of Alaska does 1ot have “timber to burn,” Lutz reports in a recent technical note issued by the Research Center. The for- est resources of this great region | have suffered very severe and wide- spread damage from uncontrolied fires during the past half-century. Direct losses of timber, that will surely be needed as population in- creases, are only part of the injury and damage sustained. Concern is growing as to the effects of wide- spread fires on big game, fur bear- ers, erosion and slides along roads and railroads, diminishing stream- flow, siltation of streams®and on scenic and recreational values. As a result of repeated fires, areas supporting white spruce and other forest types may be trans- coarse grasses and fireweed taking over the site. On steep slopes this change in vegetation favors snow slides and erosion of the landslide type. It results in poor feed for big game. It has been contended that fires are favorable for moose because they bring in willows, birch which furnish browse. It should be pointed out, Lutz said, that severely burned areas may never come back to trees at all and that light burns often result in new stands of spruce instead of aspen, willow and birch. There is ample evidence, he said, that moose make heavy use of the white spruce ! stands They are not biological deserts so far as moose are con- cerned. ’l'ormvd to a treeless condition, with aspen and FROM DETROIT John Bennett of Detroit, repre- senting Nash-Kelvinator, is a guest at the Baranof Hotel.
