SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1951 SPO ‘_\!; R . SOLONS ARE - CLIMBINGUP | P. (. LEAGUE By Associated Press Contrary to pre-season dope, the Sacramento Solons might bear some close watching in the Coast League pennant chase. Joe Gordon’s hard-hitting mix- ture of rookies and veterans rapped San Diego, 7 to 4, last night. It was the ninth win in the last 14 starts for the Solons, now only four games off Portland’s pace. Oakland edged into second place by downing San Francisco, 9-7, and shaved Portland’s lead to three and one-half games. The Beavers bowed to Seattle, 6-2, in 13 innings. “ Hollywood’s 6 to 5 win over Los Angeles left the Stars, San Diego| and Sacramento in a virtual third place tie. And that's a spoi few expected to see Gordon’s crew in at this or any other juncture. Marv Grissom of Seattle was the twirling standout, stopping Portland ] ’).' va > 3 o PN . THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA R 1 Boston Sox Disappoinis ~ Fansof B. B. By Associated Press Who stole the Fenway Park left field wall or what's the matter with the Boston Red Sox? That’s the puzzler for the good citizens of Boston. The Sox, perennial pre-season fav- orites to waltz to the American League pennant, are in a deep freeze. Steve O'Neill's men entered the season with 11 straight exhibition victories and their long suffering followers licked chops, anticipating a terrific start. But alas, the Sox still are wallowing in the dust, look- ing for victory No. 1. | They began by dropping twoj games to the world champion Yanks in New York, scoring only once in the process. Yesterday they opened their home season and it appeared that their spiked guns would smoke and belch as of old. Victory seemed a lead pipe The final night of bowling by the Thursday Nighters on the Elks al- leys finished with Casler's team snowing Pacific Northern under for yt i l he top seat. Sweeney's Bar took third spot from Alaska Coastal. High game was rolled by Chuck Porter, 215. Chuck also rolled high series, 554, Jim Wilber, 519, Geo. Taylor 506.

Bud Sheeley was the Rainier bat- ting hero. He tied the game up with a homer in the seventh and con- tributed a two-run double to the winning rally. Oakland’s Earl Harrist, kayoed in @ start 24 hours earlier, pitched a fine seven-inning relief job, holding San Francisco to one run and six hits. Sweeney’s Bar . Sheldon 153 149 .

The factors that pointed to a sure-fire Red Sox victory were: 1. The Sox were back on their home lot with that chummy left field wall, a haven for their awe- some right handed hitters. 2. They were to meet the Phila- delphia Athletics. The A’s, dead| last in 1950, had lost 22 straight] games at Fenway Park, not win- ning in Boston since Sept. 12, 1948. 3. Alex Kellner, a 20-game loser in 1950 and a lefthander to hoot, was to pitch for the A's. A left- hander goes the route and beats the Sox in Boston only once in a blue moon.

C, —(®— Two young lumber men who can really put the wood to a golf ball — Ho- bart Manley of Savannah, Ga., and Billy Joe Patton of Morganton, N. C., — met today for the 51st North and South Amateur championship.

Juneau ski clubbers still contend that the best ski conditions of the season exist at the present time, and to prove their point at least six ae- tive members will be on the high slopes again tomorrow. To try new terrain the board riders will climb the slopes of Mt. Bradley using the southeast approach for their ascent. A large natural ski bowl will be crossed at a point approximately half way during the climb where the group will test snow conditions on several long high speed runs. Lunch time will find the group perched on the top-most peak of the mountain with a wonderful view to be enjoyed while the nose- bag operation takes place. H. C. and J. ‘W.
