THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1951 SEATTLE IS BEATEN UP By Associated Press It begins to look today as if Joe Gordoh and his Sacramento Solons | are dead set on causing widespread | grief in the Pacific ‘Coast League | this season. The revitalized Sacramento club | moved to within half a game of the | league-leading Portland Beavers, by | clouting ‘HoNywdod, 5-1, Wednesday night behind ‘the five-hit pitching of a rookie righthandér named Walt Clough. 4 For the Solons, Wht inistied dead last in 1950, it was u striking con- trast to_their frequent position as the leagle’s doormat. Portland obliged somewhat, too, by Succumbing by 7-5 to third place Los Angeles. Oakland moved into the first division by way of a 14-7 autopsy on the Seattle Rainfers, and San Diego supplanted Holywood in sixth place by whipping San Fran- cisco, 5-4. Batwork by Messrs. Lloyd Chris- topher, Bill Jennings, and Jim Mar- shall, for Oakland caused most of the damage in that WIIa®affair at Seattle.

Since June 17, 1949, the chunky New York Yankees hurler has had a jinx sign over the Cleve- land gang. How can Cleveland put on drive when Manager Casey Sten- gel has Lopat? Eddie’s poison was almost as dead- ly when he pitched for Chicago. But once he switched to New York He became a sure shot against the In- dians. It’s a rare Cleveland series that doesn’t find Lopat pitching the key game for the Yanks. He beat them six times last year as well as the last three times he faced them in 1949. They criticized o0ld Case last sum- ‘mer When he used Lopat afid Tom- my Byrne as pinch hitters against this very same Cleveland team. But last night Lopat proved his batting power once more. He hit a three-run homer and drove in five Yankee runs in their 9-2 triumph. Lopat now tops both majors with a perfect 5-0 record for the year ‘although his string of 32 innings without an earned run was snapped. Loser Bom Lemon was knocked out in the sixth, It was the Yanks seventh win in nine starts on their first western trip. Giants Beat Cards ] The Yanks victory probably was the rhost important of yesterday's action but the New York Giante 17-3 romp over the make-shift ‘St. Louis Cards started more tongues wagging. Leo Durocher’s crew now has won eight of its last 10 starts With eight Cards bedded dowh by flu, the Giant sluggers ripped into Max Lanier and three “savers” for 21 hits. Ray Noble, husky Cuban catcher, hit two home runs and two singles in the big push. In the upper brackets of the Na- tional, the Boston Braves took ad- vantage of the Card collapse to widen their lead to two games, Vern Bickford allowed only two Cincin- nati singles in winning his fifth straight, 4-0. It was the Braves sixth shutout job in 24 games, Ten-Winning Win Jim Konstanty picked up his first win after three defeats as the Phila- delphia Phils took a 10-inning game from Pittsbuigh, 6-5. Konstanly rescued Russ Meyer in the ninch, forcing Gus Bell and Ralph Kiner to ground out. Then | he blanked them in the 10th while the Phils got to Reliefer Joe Muir for the winner. Clyde King tamed the Chicago Cubs for a 5-4 Brooklyn victory. The American League got notice to expect the worst from Hal New- houser from now on as the Detroit lefty shut out Washington, 4-0, with seven hits. The veteran ace has pitched two fine games in succes- sion. The Philadelphia Athletics scored six in the 10th to drub the St. Louis Browns, 8-2. The Boston at Chicago night game was rained out. LA MOTTA, MEET NOW CHICAGO, May 10 —(P— Irish Bob Murphy has added the 53rd knockout to his sensational ring rec- ord and has. won the right to test the iron jaw of durable Jake La Motta, who has been beaten but never floored. ks 7Y La Motta, who lost his middle- weight crown fo Sugar Ray Ropin- son on Feb. 14, will make his first start as a ligm-he_a\{yv{_eighg con- tender against the flailing Murphy in New York’s Yankee Stadium June 27. Murphy gained the big money shot last night by bruising and cut- ting down Danny Nardico, of Tam- pa, Fla, for & spectdcular fourth round technical knockout in 2 scheduled 10 rounder. BIB i Batting — Ray Noble, Glants — drove in five runs with two homers and two singles in New York’s 17-3 rout of St. Louis, Pitching — Eddie Lopat, Yanks — beat Cleveland for 10th straight time with six-hitter, 9-2, driving in five runs. JUNEAU VOL. FIRE | DEPT. LAUNCHES DRIVE FOR FUNDS “The old fire horn has just soun- ded a call and you realize that it is the one for your neighborhood,” | says a press agent. “You dash for | the old car and race towards your! home. You recall that the wifeand | little Johnny are still there this | éarly in the morning. As you round | the corner you notice smoke and | than see flames shooting from your | home. Your heart is now pounding | more than a mile a minute as you skid to a stop to find that your| Aeighbors, meaning well, are lost As What ‘to do. You attempt to dashl into the burning house but are| iorced back by the heat. You won-| fer where that old fire department s and why hasn’t someone done something before about getting your wife and Johnny out of the nouse? It all has happened so fast :hdt no one realized they were in the house and besides they were hot familiar as to what measures 0 take to combat the fire. With your heart being torn out you can %o nothing but watch everything you loved and owned go up in the flames of distruction. Is this the scéene you wish to have occur to o? Or would you rather have the ‘ollowing happen to you in the svent of a fire? All Safe “As ycu turned the corner you noticed s.xioke and then the flames, but already on the job were the volunteers. You could see water playing over the ouse and the James beginning to be subdued Then the most important thing, you saw your wife and Johnny safe and sound. Some volNihteer disre- ‘garding his own personal safety dashed into the building and pulled ‘them one by one from the burning inferno. Other firemen were busy attempting to save all the Tlrnitire that they could and protecting with tarps that which could not be moved. In short order the fire was out and you observed that only slight damage occurred, which was covered by insurance. Up To You “Yes, you and you alone can have either incident happen to you. What will it be? To have the latter your support will be needéd. The Juneau Volunteer Firemen are do- ing their job because they want to Protect their city and its citizens. They have families and like to know should they be out of town their family will be protected by other volunteers who are on the job. You say, they get paid when they go to a fire. Sure they get paid, $1.50 and remember that most times they ruin much more than that amount in clothes. No one pays their cleaning bills. They go ofit in all kinds of weather, all hours of the .day or night, while you stay in bed and wonder what happened and where was the fire. New Equipment Needed “Juneau and you have an oppor- tunity to show the local firemen what they think about the depart- ment. Juneau can voice its appre- ciation by aiding in the purchase of new equipment. New methods, new apparatus might be the means of saving your life. Not so long ago the boys answered a large fire to find the occupant of the building sitting on the roof unable to get down. What would have happened in the event the ladder could not reach the roof? The boys go out in all types of weather on emer- gency runs hoping to arrive in time to save a life or work until exhau- sted in the attempt to save a life. They don’t get paid for that type of service. They do it as good civic minded citizens. “Let’s get behind the local fire- men in their drive for new equip- ment. We can do this by buying tickets on a beautiful new 1951 Mercury Sport Sedan. This beauti- ful car will have all the deluxe trimmings that are available. You will be proud to drive this new car this summer. All it takes is to puy tickets from our Jiri€au Vol- unteer Firenign. D6 1t With the main thought that your dollar is going towards new equipment. This new equipment that perhaps wih save your life someday. Its not often that these gallant lads seek your assistance. So give and give freely. Are you to be the one who will be responsible for poor equip- ment and improper fire fighting technique. Buy those tickets.” LEADERS N B, B.
