TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1951 RAINIERS NOW HOLD HARD SPOT By Associated Press This should be an eventful week in the Pacific Coast League. Rogers Hornsby's Seattle Rain- iers, playing inspired ball, are oc- cupying the top spot in the stand- ings, but they'll have to prove their worth against Oakland in the Bay City. And Mel Ott’s Oaks, thumped by Hollywood, are quite anxious to get back on the victory trail. When Seattle gets through with the Oakland series it will have tc reckon with Fred Haney's Stars in Hollywood. The Stars have started to hit, the pitching is on the im- prove, and Hollywood again is get- ting the maximum number of runs from its attack. g Hollywood, three games out of first place, may be battling for the No. 1 spot when Seattle invades the cinema city. The Stars open a three- game series against San Diego at the border city tonight. Sacramento, knocked out of the lead last Sunday by Seattle’s dou- ble-header win, plays host to the much improved San Francisco Seals. Los Angeles is home to entertain Portland. NELSON OF SOLONS LEADS PCL HURLERS SAN FRANCISCO, May 29 —Sac- ramento right hander Frank Nelson, recently acquired from Oakland, topped Pacific Coast League pitch- ers today among those who have participated in 10 games or more He had a record of 12 wins and no defeats, meanwhile appearing in 19 contests.

A momentous 4-2 homecoming vi tory over the St. Louis Browns last night, before 23,138 whooping fans, zoomed the Pale Hose to the top. It climaxed a spectacular 12-game winning streak, all but one on the road. Naturally, the Sox needed out- side assistance. And they got it when the Red Sox nosed out the Yankees, 3-2, in Boston. Not since 1920 have the White Sox enjoyed — all by their lone- some — such a lofty perch as late as Decoration Day. They were on top for two days in 1937 — June 8-9 —but were forced to share the lead with the Yankees. New York went on to win the flag, Chicago drop- ping'to third. Victorious in 18 of their last 20 games, the Sox today hold a 24 per- centage point bulge over the Yanks —.127 to .703. Saul Rogovin threw a two-hitter at the Browns as his mates clubbed loser Duane Pillette for eight of their nine hits and all their runs in five innings. Mel Parnell, Red Sox ace south- paw, surrendered nine Yankee hits but was tough in the pinches to register his fifth victory, two of them over the Yankees. Sixth Homer Bobby Doerr’s sixth home run of the season, with a mate aboard in the second inning, was the payorf wallop. Reasonably rapid Robert Feller spun himself another shutout, his second in succession, as Cleveland whipped the Tigers in Detroit, 9-0. It was his sixth victory against a lone defeat. Brooklyn retained its two and a half game edge in the National League race, shading the Phillies, 4-3, in Philadelphia. A home run by Carl Furillo in the top of the ninth snapped a 3-3 deadlock and handed the Phils their fifth straight loss. The St. Louis Cardinals blew a 5-2 lead to Pittsburgh but came back in the last half of the 10th inning to eke out a 6-5 victory when Red Schoendienst singled with two out and the bases loaded. Warren Spahn snapped New York’s four game winning streak with a seven-hitter as the Boston Braves defeated the Giants, 4-1. Rain washed out the scheduled games between the Philadelphia Athletics and Senators in ‘Washing- ton and the Chicago Cubs and Reds in Cincinnati. All games were played under the lights.

B.B.STARS Stars of Monday major league games are: Pitching — Bob Feller, Indians— turned in second straight shutout and sixth victory of the season as Cleveland crushed Detroit, 9-0. Batting — Carl Furillo, Dodgers— homered in ninth to give Brooklyn, 4-3 victory over Philadelphia. TOP LIMIT SET FOR ADDED WEIGHT SOAP BOX DERBY RACERS Soap Box Derby boys may add weight to their racing cars this year, to bring them up to the top limit of 250 pounds for car and boy combined. This is one of the most significant changes in the 1951 rules. The Of- ticial Rule Book plainly states that this added weight must be securely built into the body or chassis.” “No loose material of any kind is permitted in the car,” the rule says. In other words, if weight is added to your car, anchor it firm- ly in the car. The national rules committee found that light boys should not be penalized by being forced to race below the maximum limit against heavy boys, whose car- driver combined total was almost 250 pounds. Furthermore, under the old rules, too many boys were try- ing to conceal added weight, only | to be disqualified at the last min- | ute. Every car, with the boy in driv- ing position, is weighed during in- spection before local races on To- ledo Scales. If a car and boy are | over the limit, the boy is given an opportunity to eliminate some of the weight from his car or from himself. Passengers: carried on .

Army| for withdrawal of 772,000 acres of land in the iinterior for an artil-| lery range is being “held in abey-| ance,” by the Army following hear- ings in Anchorage May 12. | This was the report of Leonard| Berlin, division engineer, Bureau of Land Management, who attend- ed the hearings in behalf of his de- | partment and returned to Juneau | Friday. The hearing was presided over by Lowell Puckett who is in| charge of Bureau of Land Manage- | ment for Alaska. ( the vicinity of Gulkana and the withdrawal was protested by aj number of hunting clubs, civic or-!| sanizations, and by the natives of | che Copper River area who testi- tied they derive an annual income of arcund $150,000 in fur, fish and zame from the area. Withdrawal of ‘he land for thé' Army would have closed it to all public use. Land asked by the Army was in‘I | As an alternate;’ the Bureau of{ Land Management | suggested for the Army another land area of about the same size east of the Aighardson highway and north of the Salona river in a triangle to ‘he junction of the Tok-Richard- son highways. This section, Berlin said, was not used by the Copper River natives and would be suit- ible for the Army’s purposes. It is | also comparatively poor in “fur, fish and gamé. Following the numerous protests Army officials decided to “hold in :beyance” its requests for the Gul- kana section pending examination )f other areas in the same general vicinity suitable to its use and more igreeable to the public.
