SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1951 RAINIERS IN LOSING GAME, BUTATTOPS By Associated Press The Pacific Coast League club swing into the second round of their weckend series tonight, and once again it appears as if a rearrance- ment of the first division is in pros- pect. The Sacramento Solons, breathing hot on the necks of the Seattle Rainiers following an 8-6 triumpl in their series opener last night play host to the league leaders again The victory left the Solons only a half game behind the Rainiers, whe took over the lead from the Sac: at this time last week. Down at the other end of the line it's something else again. One n'ce thing about being in the cellar: No- body expects you to win anyway, whieh may be consoling to the hap- less San Francisco Seals. The Seals, with a 4-0 lead to work on, collapsed like a houss of cards in the ninth inning at Otkland last night and succumbed, 5 to 4. The Oaks suddenly lit the fuse undcr cheerful Chester Johnson, the San Francisco starter, and before the carn: ended, - two relief hurlers were blasted into submission as well. Artle Schallock and the Hollywood Stars performed an 8-1 autopsy cn Los Angeles. The Twinks, winning their fourth in a row, piled up & six-run lead in the first inning, then coasted in behind the little lefty's five-hit pitching. At San Diego it was no worse. Portland pounded four Padre pitch- ers for 17 hits and a 12-2 triumph. Eddie Basinski drilled a mn -run homer during Portland’s un spree in the ninth inning. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

Tri-City 6, Yakima 2. Salem 13, Wenatchee 1. WILLIAMS IS 1 MAN GANG YET By Associated Press So Ted Williams is no team player. Don't try to sell that to the Chicago White Sox. Williams was a one-man gang at Fenway Park last night as the Re« Sox clipped the fleet: Chicago lads. 6-5. Vern Stephens’ game-winning homer with a man on stole the headlines but Williams put on a brilliant all-around exhibition — fielding, throwing and hitting. Ted actually starred in the field Honest. He raced to the scoreboard in left to make a sensational leap- ing stab of Chico Carrasquel’s fly to save the game in the eighth. Chicago had knocked out Mel pPar- nell, scoring two runs and had men sn second and third when Williams ended .the threat, Parnell, tagged for three runs in the third on singles by Bob Dillin- ;er and Nelly Fox and Minoso’s homer, was chased in the eighth. ©'lis Kinder's no-hit relief work nd Williams' catch saved Parnell’s hth win and a lifetime 17-3 rec- against Chicago. Randy Gumpert, with a 7-0 rec- ord as a starter and relief ace, took th.e loss. Luis Alomo and Marv Rot- latt followed with effective shutout jebs. With Allie Reynolds throwing his s-cond straight shutout, a six-single €-0 job against Cleveland, the New York Yankees clipped Chicago’s American League lead to 2': games the same margin they left home with two weeks ago. Bobby Felier just didn’t have it in his try for a seventh straight and 11th victory. The Yanks combed him for eight of their 10 hits in seven innings. Six Runs First Inning Bucky Harris was rushed to a Washington hospital for observation while his Senators were losing to Detroit, 7-3. Fred Sanford, the ex- ank ‘who threw a flashy three- ter in his first ‘Washington start, 3 knocked out by the Tigers in a run first inning./Ted Gray need- ed help from Hal White in the e'ghth to nail down his third win Gus Zernial poled two home runs off Al Widmar as Philadelphia nudged St. Louis a little deeper into the cellar with a 5-2 win behind Alex Hellner. Brdoklyn and Pittsburgh struggled through lighting trouble and show- ers in a damp marathon that fin- ally ended at 12:55 EST., this morn- ing. They were two hours late start- ing because of light trouble and de- layed another 36 minutes by rain. At last it was written into the records as another Brooklyn win, 8-4, pre- serving their 6'2 game lead on New York. Clyde King was the winner on relief over Ted Wilks. Rookie Willie Mays gave New York Giant fans a shot in the arm with a three-run homer in the 10th to whip Chicago, 9-6. Sam Jethroe, restored to center field when Tommy Holmes took over as Boston Manager, came thru with a two-run double with two out in the ninth for the Braves’ 8-7 win over St. Louis. Cincinnati ripped into Jocko Thompson for three in the first inn- ing and made it stand up for a 3-2 edge over the Phillies to move into fourth place. 5 STREAM GUARDS ARE NEEDED BY ADF The Alaska Department of Fish- eries needs five more stream guards, Lewis MacDonald, supervisor, said today. Three are needed for the Juneau area, one for Sitka and one for Wrangell. Fourteen have already been pla- ced on stream patrol in cooperation with the Fish and Wildlife Service on law enforcement. William D. Mc- Hale and W. H. Jackson are loca- ted at Ketchikan; Charles Hamil- ton and Tennes J. Aarstad at Craig; Joseph W. Lawton and Thomas C. Thomson at Wrangell; Mike P. Karry at Sitka; Charles W. Mala and Thomas K. Meekin at Cordova; James G. King and Mannie Man- ville at Anchorage. Charles Dou- chett will be assigned to Taku. George E.

Did he have his eggs sunny-side up? Or hard boiled? A man who might have answered that question died in Ketchikan a few days ago. His name was Joe Loy and to all but a few who knew him well he was just another anc- ient Chinaman.

Born in Canton nearly 86 years ago, Joe Loy received a better than average education before he left his homeland. In later years he wrote hundreds of letters, in Chinese brush characters, for his less skilled | countrymen in Alaska. It was about 1890 when Joe Loy ! first arrived in Alaska as one of | four cooks and stewards aboard the | little gunboat Pinta which was sta- ticned in these waters from 1884 until 1897.

And at Hong Kong he trans- red again, to the flagship Olym- When the Spanish American War ended many of the ships of our navy were decommissioned and Joe Loy was out of a job. He soon found another with the old U. S. Revenue Marine, now a part of the Coast Guard, and returned to Alas- ka in vessels of that service. He was in the galley of a number of the Revenue Cutters, including the Perry which was wrecked on St. Paul Island in 1910 and the Tahoma, wrecked in the Aleutians in 1914. Thereafter, shifting to ves- sels purposely seeking the rocks, reefs and other hazards to navi- gation, he served in ships of the ea service is believed to have been in the Surveyor. After he left the sea, Joe Loy | worked as cook at the Sunny Point jcannery in Ketchikan and at other | Southeast Alaska salmon canneries until he was up in his seventies. He quit working for wages then, but he continued to make his own liv- ing, or a large part of it. He was not one to hang around the fish docks where he might easi- ly have bummed small halibut or salmon or red snappers from the fishermen and buyers. Joe Loy caught his own fish and for many years the little old Chinaman, trudging home with a string of Llack bass or rock cod, was a fa- miliar sight on the streets of Ket- chikan. There were no military honors for Joe Loy when he was buried. Al- though a military force may travel on its belly, the cooks of the out- it are seldom honored.
