The Yankees, with a sustained at tack, won the game 13 to 11 after the Giants apparently had clinch ed a victory with an eight-run at tack in the fourth Inning. The Yanks scored in all except the fifth inning, and, after being batted out of the lead in the fourth inning when the Giants went in front 10 to 7, came back with a four-run splurge in the sixth to win the game. Gerretsen proved the big stick in the Yankee attack, pounding out three hits, a homer, double and single. DeBernardi, Coen, and Nichols each poled out two hits durjng the course of the game. For the Giants, Bashford and Baker each secured a double and single to lead their squad in tne nitting department. Following the game, which marked the end of the competi tion for the season, the Yankees, who by virtue of winning their three games became entitled to an lee cream feed, invited the los ers to share the treat with them, and both squads will be enter tained at 3:30 p. m.

Journal Notes Long Life Of Douglas National Bank Only three Oregon banks still doing business were founded be fore the Douglas National bank of Roseburg, which, with the First National bank at Baker, and the First National bank at Eugene, was founded in 1883, according lb a survey recently made by Coast Banker, the banking jour nal of the Twelfth Federal Re serve district, which embraces the seven western states.

Candidate of Farley Wins Battle in N. Y. (Continued from page 1.) later against the former demo cratic national chairman. Farley managed President Ro osevelt's 11132 and 1936 cam paigns, but balked at the .bird term and let his own name go be fore national convention for the nomination. Roosevelt Parries Query When asked today what effect Bennett's nomination would have on Ihe conduct of the war effort, President Roosevelt, apparently prepared for the question, read an excerpt from an article ihis morning by Mark Sullivan, news paper columnist. The article referred to a press conference held by Robert P. Pat terson, undersecretary of war, in which a reporter sought com ment on the Commando raid on France. "The question was asked in a manner which suggested that the questioner really did not have much hope of an answer," the president quoted Sullivan.. "By thus setting his expectations be low his hopes, he escaped dis appointment. Mr. Patterson said merely that lie had no worth while comment." Smiling, Mr. Roosevelt contin ued to read: "If Mr. Patterson has no copy right on those four short words no worth while comment' they could be advantagously used by some other Washington officials who face press conferences." Party Split Foreseen Senator Norris (Ind Neb), long a supporter of the president, said lie thou;; lit the New York con vention fight would have a "bad effect on the country" because :t would bo taken as a "very -.severe slap at the president." "It means the democratic twrh will be badly split up," he added. "As for 1!M4 tne New York del egation might be for Farley for the democratic nomination for president or be Farley-controlled, but that does no; mean he would control the rest of the jtate del- : egations." A democratic senator from the south, commenting anonymously, 'said the Bennett nomination : "makes Jim Farley a national figure in his own right. " i "It also means." he added, "that the 1944 delegation to the nation al convention from New York i will be either controlled by Far ley or lie an open delegation. It ! might even be for Farley." GOP Victory Forecast. 1 Senator Bridges (RNH1, a candidate for his party's pres idential nomination in 1940, com mented: "It leads me to believe we'll elect a republican governor of New York. There will be such a row among the democratics ihat they'll cut each other's throat's." The republicans meet at Sara toga Srlngs next week to se lect an opponent for Bennett and the nomination is expected to go to Thomas E. Dewey, the former "racketbustin" district attorney of New York county. Raid on Amiens Bares Nazis' Air Weakness (Continued from page 1.) Wednesday as a day of allied tri umph from every angle as a vic tory on the field Itself, as a help to soviet Russia, as a step forward in the whole master plan of the United Nations. A communique summarizing the raid called it a "successful demonstration of coordination of all three services" land, sea and air. Losses Summarized Although the official announce ment labelled the attack merely a "reconnaissance in force," it said the raid had a "vital part" In al lied policy.
