The San Diego Padres were in
undisputed possession of third
place in the Pacific coast league
today after a 3 to 2 victory over
the San Francisco Seals credited
to Charley Wensloff, husky right
hand mound artist on loan from
the New York Yankees.
nl other games Portland de
feated the Oakland Oaks 3 to 1
in the year's fastest PCL contest
one hour and 24 minutes and
the Los Angeles Angels slugged
out a 12 to 9 win over the Sacra
mento Solons. Wet grounds kept
Hollywood idle at Seattle.
Wensloff, who fanned 10 Seals
including five in the first two
innings, wound up the game with
a bang when he struck out Neill
Sheridan, Seal big gun, in the
last of the ninth with the tying
run on third. Bernie Uhalt died
there after a pretty triple. The
next -two batters fouled out, with
Sheridan going down swinging.
Homers Sew Up Game
The Angels drew up into a
three-way tie for fifth place with
Si.n Francisco and their oppon
ents. Mel Hicks and Lou Novi
koff paced Los Angeles' offensive
with three circuit blows. Hicks
drove in three men with two
home runs, as did Novikoff's
sixth inning homer with the
bases loaded.
Pitcher Ad Liska held the Oaks
lo four hits as the Beavers in
creased their league leadership
by half a game. They nicked
Halo Chelini, Oak southpaw, for
fix bingles, bunching three of
them, including doubles by John
ny O'Neill and Liska for two
inns in the second frame.
Ted Gullic's circuit clout over
the left field wall in the third ac
counted for the third run.

NEW YORK, April 28 (UP)
These are trying days for Frankie
Frisch. His Pittsburgh Piratos
and his arthritis must be driving
him almost as daffy as the gas
house gang did in the old days.
For his Pirates, tagged as one
of the teams to beat in the 1045

Tl'oy've won only two of eight

Ivle Says Good
By to Marines;
To Leave Okinawa
(Continued from Page 1)
Rctore joining the marines h?
worked on a section gang for the
Pennsylvania railroad. He us
ually wears one of those wide
brimmed gioen cloth hats instead
of the regulation marine cap.
He always carries a .45 and it
has a slightly curved 25-cent
piece imbedded in the handle.
As says, "To make it worth
something."
Brady found two huge photo
graph albums in a cove. The al
bums are full of snapshots of
Japanese girls and Chinese girls
and young Japs in uniform and
of family poses. He treasured it
as though it we!-? full of people
he knew. He studied it for hours
and hopes lo take it home with
him. "Anything for a souvenir,"
could be the motto of the mar
ines. Another Indianapolis marine I
met on Okinawa was Pfc. Dalla
Rhude, who used to be a news
paperman himself.
He worked on the Indianapolis
Times. He started carrying th-;
Times when he was eight, then
got into the editorial room as a
copy beiy and kept that job till
he joined the marir.?s.
He is a icplacement; in other
words he is in the pool that fills
op the gaps made by casualties.
But since there have been very
few casualties he hasn't replaced
anybody yet.
' ballas spent 22 months in Pan
ama, was home for a little while
and now has been over hore for
four months. He says this Okin
awa climate sure beats Panama,
t
Marines may be killers, but
they're also just as senlinu nt il
as- anybody olse.
There is one pleasant boy in
our company that I had talked
with but didn't have any little
incident lo write about him. so
didn't put his name down. The
morning I left Ihe company and
was saying goodby all around, I
could senso that he wanted to
tell me something, so I hung
around until he came out. It was
about his daughter.
This marine was Corp. Robert
Kingan of Cuyahoga Falls. Ohio.
He has been a marine for 13
months and over here 11 months.
His daughter was born about si::
weeks ago. Naturally he has
never seen her, but he's had a
letter from her!
It was a V I tter written in a
childish scrawl and said: "Hello.
Daddy, I am Karen Louise. I
was born Feb. 25 at four minutes
r.fter nine. I weigh five pounds
and eight ounces. Your daughter,
Karen."
And then there was a PS on
the bottom which said:
"Postmaster please rush. My
daddy doesn't know I am here."
Bob didn't know whether it
was actually his wife or his
mother- in-law who wiote the
U:r. He thinks maybe it was his
motl'.er-in-iaw Mrs. A. II. Mor
gan since it had her return ad
dress on it.
So I put that down and then
a?k( d Bob what his motlur-in-law's
first name was. He looked
off into space for a moment, and
then started laughing.
"I don't know what her first
rami is." he said. ' I always just
called her Mrs. Morgan!"

Irwin II. Jones of Wenatehee.
Wash., member of the American
Legion's national employment

Addressing the closing session
of a two-day postwar employ

ness, labor and agriculture that
"the men and wome n in our arm
ed services today will not stand
idly by through another period
of mass unemployment such as
we went through in 1932 and
1033."
Jones, co-chairman of the con
ference, said the Legion's nation
al executive committee will as
semble the suggestions of labor
and industry from this and 11
similar regional conferences and
fiom them fashion a pattern to
supplement the Legion's program
for maximum postwar employ
ment. Ralph II. Lavcn of Washing

director of the Legion, declared
that at present, there "is no such

under civil service commission
