If Phil Rizzuto Yankees Rkzuto, Jackie Lead Hit Marks Top 10 Changed; Stan Musial Down NEW YORK (iiPV-Little Phil RLz ruto, the last of the "old line New York Yankees, is showing his teammates now Jplt's done with a vj league - leading y.351 average In lithe American .League. Slashing down bunting for base i bits and scamp 's erins out of run- !down situations, Rizzuto is off and Jrunning in the most valuable player race. In the Nation al, Jackie Robinson rides high with a .393 average. The Brooklyn sec ond baseman was out of action most of the week with a leg in Jury but returned to work Satur- f dav. Stan Musia i 'jrr oi m. liuuis, us ually jousting with Jackie for the lead, is strug gling with a sub par .294. There was a big shakeup among the top 10 hitters in eachH league, as is to be , - expected at this Jock tobJfMOn time of year. Ex- iw actlv half of last Oodgft week's leaders fell by the way side. Bob Nieman of the St. Louis Browns, a .424 smasher to lead the American a week ago, slump ed to .295 with only four hits all wee's. Rizzuto's nearest opponents are Al Rosen of Cleveland, steadily improving his position in a move from fifth, and Dom, the last of the DiMaggios. They're tied for second at .344. Rosen also leads with eight homers and 20 runs baited in. Rookie Bill Henry of the Boston Red Sox with 4-0 and Sal Maglie of the New York Giants with 5-0 are the top winning pitchers among many with unbeaten records.

The Wolves knocked over the Portland Staters 7-6 in their last fame, while Willamette defeated Linflld'a Wild cats. Mike Glenn or Andy George, both righthanders, will be on the mound for the Willamette today. Run Nairn or Whitey Palm qulst likely will assume the pitching chores for the Wolves. Willamette plays a Northwest Conference finale Thursday at Portland with Leu-is & Clark, and has a makeup game slated with Portland University here next Monday. Rolfe Remains As Tiger Head DETROIT (.-Pi-Red Rolfe will stick around as manager of the Detroit Tigers, who are uncom fortably berthed in last place in the American League. But the Tigers will try to gain strength or new faces in the trade ma:t even if it means dealing out such stars as third baseman George Kell or outfielders Hoot Evers, Johnny Groth or Vic Wertz. That came straight from gen eral manager Charlie Gehringer Monday after he huddled with president Spike Briggs. He laughed when newspaper men told him the local rumor mill had listed either Schoolboy Rowe, Muddy Ruel, Jack Tighe, George KeJ, Fred Hutchinson and Diz Trout as the next Detroit man ager. "Ked has done all right," he said. "I don't quite agree with him on his not using the younger boys more. But I can see why he hasn't used them. When you're losing, you can't afford to gamble. You play it close to the belt."

Another Japanese whiz, this one Toi Yamato of Singapore, is to appear in the special eventtonight against Frenchy Roy. Yamato is a Judo-slinging ruffian who has been causing more mat riots late ly in the Northwest than the late Rowdy Rufus Jones ever thought of. He has a deadly sleeper hold he uses, and also possesses 24 new stitches in his head, results of re cent squabbles with assorted grapplers, fans and police.

They claim to have lowered the millage rate from 24.7 to 22.4 mills since 1946. This is true enough, but We thought Al Loucks had only been mayor for a year end a half. What makes it more amusing, - in another cam paign, this one for state representative, the same tired old political machine, that's been ruling you so long, is claiming the identical millage reduction for the preceding mayor during his term of office. Well . . . we don't care which one-of these machine representatives heroically lowered the millage, -the whole point is that taxes have INCREASED a full 36 in the past two years in actual dollars taken In. They've smoothly increased the property value in Salem from about $17 million in 1946 to about $32 million in 1951. No wonder they can reduce the millage and still wind up with the highest tax collections in history. Let's get out of the Red with Ed.
