Yankees On Toboggan For the record, the Braves won Iho game, !) to 2, extending the "jitters" slump of the Giants, who now have lost four straight, 10 out of 12, and 17 out of 22 in one of the most colossal collapses of a contender in recent limes. Roger Wolff of the Senators pitched the sixth one-hit game of the season in beating his ex mates, Philadelphia's Athkmcs at Washington, 0 to 0. He yielded only one walk and a blow over shortstop that Ha Peck stretched to a double by fast base-running. Good pitching also was tha meas ure of difference as the Senators also took the second game, 5 to 3 on little Marino Pieretti's six-hit-tcr. It was Wolff's seventh vic tory and Pieretti's sixth.

Harold Dow, who is now stationed in Goose Bay, Labrador, describing the country. Portions of his letter follow: "The way wc have been travel ing these past few days is the only way to do it. All you have to do is climb aboard one of those big C-5 (four-motor transpoits) lean back in plush and chromium reclining seals and let the ATC do the rest. In n few hours you are miles away from where you started. "Wo left Paris about noon on the 8th and flew across the chan nel over England to a base in noi thorn Scotland. After a brief rest and a meal there wo took oil again and whan wc landed were in Iceland. ' It is nothing but rocks and Niesscn huts although everyone here swears it, is a paradise com pared to Greenland. The only reason we are here now, I guess, is the fact that there was too much overcast to land on Green land so we had to come on and land here. All we're doing nov is waiting. "This is really quite n pleasant spot in Iho summer at least. Kind of like Wallowa lake with its pine trees. Just like camping out with very little to do except see a movie, read, play ping pong, etc. Quite n change from Paris." Corporal Dow graduated from the local high school with the class of HMD. He was active in football, having played on the all star team that year. He att.-nd-ed Kaslcrn Oregon college two years, and was a senior at the university when he entered the aimy three years ago. He has been serving in the army com munications service. CAP Property Check 1 8 Made For Army Lt. Col.

Tile Red Sox moved within half a game of the second plncc, Yan kees by beating thciri 1 to 0 at Boston as Clem Hausmann pitch ed his second straight three-hit shutout and his fourth victory in a row. Earl Caldwell, 30-year-old right hander, won his first start of the season for the White Sox at Chi cago, beating the Browns, 5 to 4. The Cincinnati Reds won their fifth extra-inning game in as many starts this season, 1 Oto 0, in the 13th from the visiting Cardinals. Brooklyn at Philadelphia in the National was postponed and Pittsburgh and Chicago were not scheduled. Veterans Chalk Up Three Shut-outs In Coast League By United Press Stellar pitching performances gave three veterans shutouts lust night in the only Pacific coast league games scheduled. Hal Turpin, 39, whitewashed the San Diego Padres with two hits as the Seattle Rainicrs chalk ed up a 5-0 triumph; Newt Kim ball, 30, blanked San Francisco on six hits as Hollywood won, 8-0; and Guy Fletcher, 31, Sacra mento, zeroed Portland with sev en blgws, 2-0. 11 was the first lime this year the pitchers showed such one sided superiority, although in the past 'two weeks two one-hitters have been tossed. Generally, the sluggers have been holding the edge. Beavers Are Humbled Fletcher's seven-hitter against the heavy-hitting and league leading Portland Beavers was the outstanding mound job. Syd Co hen started for the Beavers but was lifted in favor of Feder meycr in the eighth. The underdog Hollywood club broke out in a rash of bass hits to count seven times in a big fourth inning on five successive singles, with the help of two errors, to clinch their game with San Francisco.

STATE BPDILPDKIG FTO The special election June 22 gives the people of Oregon an opportunity to vote on a measure that means much to the future of (he State and its citizens, particularly its returning war veterans. Approval of the measure will establish a post-war building fund of $10,000,000 of which $4,000,000 will be for higher education and $6,000,000 for other state buildings. This fund will insure: adequate facilities for veterans, make possible long overdue improvements to the general state institutions, and provide a sizable employment project when war workers arc released. Present tuberculosis hospitals are inadequate. In normal times there is a long waiting list for admit tance. More adequate facilities will be provided for the training of doctors, whose services are,, sorely needed. These can be done without increasing taxes, even though the measure authorizes a so-called property levy to produce $5,000,000 in 1946 and a like amount in 1947. That is because the income tax in Oregon was created for property tax relief and funds from it can be used for no other purpose without a vote of the people. The bill provides a levy against real property merely to permit utilizing the income tax surplus. . ':'.''. j ,- Thus the measure will not mean the collection of any additional real estate taxes. It will not mean any . additional income taxes cither, because the legis lature provided for the surplus to be held in a reserve . fund if the building measure fails to pass. - J, BACKED BY LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE Will not cost you one cent in property tax arid will not increase income tax rates (iovrrnor nml Legislators Approve "('.ireful coMMiler.uion by the recent IcjtnUture results in Almost unanirmius passage of dm measure.

Bettati, President Oregon Stale Senate Deserves Support of All Citizens "The program submitted by the legislature which will, not increase taxes hut is merely a method of putting to use funds now frozen in the treasury) deserves the support of all citizens." The Oregonian, 'We arc clearly of the opinion that the proposed tax ler? of $10,000,000 for a state building fund . . . will not be levied on property in any part, but will be fully paid from state income tax revenues. , . "Wc can sec no reason that the proposed tax should hare any effect whatever on income tax rates or exemptioni." Chartca V, Galloway Karl It.
