The victims were Artie Schallock and Bob Chesnes, who coughed up six runs to the Rainiers in the fifth inning Sacramento, meanwhile, split a doubleheader with Oakland to back- slide a half notch and to drop the Oaks into fifth place behind Los Angeles. Oaklaid won the opener, 7-1, Sacramento the finale, 8-3 Al Lien of San Francisco also cranked up a five hitter in goose- egging the Portland Beavers, 5-0. He didn’t allow anybody past second base.

RASCHI BEATS UP ON WHITE 50X T0 WIN FOR YANKEES By Assoclated Press Vic Raschi, the Springfield (Mass.), rifle, is on the beam again. As'a result the pennant outlook for the New York Yankees is brighter today. Raschi beat the Chicago White Sox last Friday and last night turned back the Detroit Tigers, 2-0 on three hits to become the first major league pitcher to win 10 games. Raschi's victory enabled the Yanks to cut the White Sox’ pace-setting margin to three games. The Sox were upset by the last place Phila- delphia Athletics, 4-3 and 12-5. Philadelphia’s stunning victories over the White Sox ended Chicago’s 15-game consecutive road win streak. Don Johnson, recent waiver ac- quisition from the St. Louis Browns, turned in his second straight' vie- tory for Washington as he pitched the Senators to a 4-2 decision over Ealy Wynn and the Cleveland In- dians. The Brooklyn Dodgers continued their relentless pennant drive in the National League, edging the Chicago Cubs, 2-1. The second-place New York Giants remained six games off the pace, outlasting the Pittsburgh Pir- ates, 11-6. Tht St. Louis Cardinals snowed under the Philadelphia Phillies, 10- 2.

LOUIS KNOCKS SAVOLD OUT IN SIKTHROUND NEW YORK, June 16 —®— A jubilant Joe Louis, looking more like the magnetic, dynamic Erown Bomber of 10 years ago, hollered for Ezzard Charles today and there was not a soul who would dare hush! him down. A couple of days ago if | you even hinted that 37-year-old Joe would have a chance against the heavyweight champion, you would have been called foolish. Today, with the memory of the bomber’s explosive six round knock- out of Lee Savold fresh in mind, hardened boxing men and Savold himself, will bet you even money that Louis will take back the prized crown he held so long. And hell probably get his chance in Detroit this September. Charles has a July 18 date with Jersey Joe Walcott in Pittsburgh on his agenda and Louis said “I want a couple of | more fights before then. Maybe one in Germany and one more.” Savold wasn't looking for the kind of Louis he met last night in jam- packed Madison Square Garden. Neither did anybody else including the SRO crowd of 18,179 fans \"hol paid $94,684. Joe called his shot. He predicted | “T'll knock him out inside of .\h{‘ rounds.” He did it at exactly 2:29 of the | sixth with a smashing left hook to| the jaw that dropped his bleeding,® wobbling rival for the first time in the fight and for keeps. It was strictly a one-sided battle all the way. JUNEAU BOYS GET PRAISE FOR THEIR 600D SURVEY WORK| i Four Juneau boys received high praise from R. J. McKinney of the' Portland office of U.S. Engineers. John Monagle, Bill Graves, Harry! Johnson and Terry Robbins have | been doing survey work for McKin- ney in the Rocky Pass country and returned yesterday from Petersburg to spend the weekend in Juneau. “Nicest bunch of kids I ever saw. good careful workmen and able to take care of themselves. I am well pleased with their work,” Mc- Kinney said. After a month in the bush with no radio and no newspapers, they emerged looking like a bunch of young hermits, beards and all. Tt was late when they arrived in Pet- ersburg but met the local barber on the street so he opened shop for the four customers. They leave Monday morning for Oliver Inlet on the Forest Service vessel Ranger to make a topo- graphical survey of a possible canal route over the present portage be- tween Oliver Inlet and Seymour Canal. It is about a mile across at high tide. Next week a seismograph and operator will join them to de- termine the amount of rock below the surface, McKinney said. Albert W. Ball of Dillingham is at the Baranof Hotel. MEHERINS LEAVE FOR SEATILE AFTER BUSINESS MEETINGS IN JUNEAU Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Though raising baby calves for veal without fresh milk is not an| |easy undertaking, so far, our 4-H boys have met the challenge mosti . successfully. Ail calves are now in good condition. Duane Reddecopp, whose calf is 'sponsored by the Centennial Flour- ing Mills Co. of Tacoma, reported having received from the company a fine shipment of assorted feed, covering all nutritional require- ‘ments of vitamins and minerals for his animal.
