But that one hit was a homer that came at the start of the fifteenth at Hollywood and gave the Beavers a 5 to 4 win over the Twlnks. The game was touch and go until the final out which ended a Twink scoring threat as Del Young, batting for Bill Brenzel hit a double play. Wayne Osborne, winning hurler. was assisted by three other members of the Portland pitching staff. Whitey Hilcher and Manuel Perez handled the twirling chores for the Twinlts and yielded IS blngles to 16 allowed by Beaver moundmen. Seattle disappointed San Francisco fans by halting the Seals climb into the upper divi sion with 5 to 0 shutout.

Cochrane Picks Great Service Team to Send Against Big Leaguers Washington, June 11 -OP) Lieut Cordon "Mickey" Coch rane, manager of the Service All-stars, has chosen 13 soldiers and 10 sailors to make up his team for the benefit game at Cleveland July 7 against the winner of the annual American league-National league all-star contest. Furthermore, Manager Mickey is serious about winning the Cleveland classic. He has asked that his players be relieved of their military duties in time to report to him at the Great Lakes naval training station 10 days before the game for hard practice. It Is a powerful squad that Cochrane has picked, compris ing the cream of big league talent that has answered the colors Bobby Feller, Hank Greenberg, Cecil Travis, Don Padgett, Johnny Rlgney and the others. Providing they can reach anything like top playing condi tion in 10 days of practice they should give their former com patriots a stiff argument in Cleveland's big stadium. Two Army Grid Teams Slate Nationwide Tour for Relief Washington, June 11. (AP) Two powerful army football teams, made up of the finest college and professional talent In the service, will battle the clubs of the National professional league across the nation's gridirons this autumn in a series of games principally for the benefit of army emergency relief. In six bustling weeks the two service elevens one represent ing the "East," the other the "West" expect to appear in cities all the way from Los An geles to Boston and to reap a million dollars or more for char ity. Their respective schedules still are far from fixed, but each of the principal cities of the north appears to be assured a look at one or the other of Uncle Sam's "dream" teams. Organization of the gridiron program is in line with the mili tary's present campaign to en courage every sort of competi tive athletics and probably will serve to encourage schools and universities that might have wor ried about their football pros pects for next fall. The army, like the navy, intends to set the exnmple. It Is planned for the two army squads to begin training Aug. 22, one somewhere In the mid-west and the other on the east coast. Six days later the west team has a date with the professional Washington Redskins in the Los Angeles coliseum. Army authorities have not yet selected the coaches, but it vir. ttially Is certain that Wallace Wade, famous as coach of the Duke Blue Devils and now ma jor of a machine gun battalion, will handle the eastern squad. The coaches will pick their own squads and select training sites. To make things handy for them, the army has compiled a list of 1300 football stars, past and present, professional and col legiate, who are Is uniform now. All the coaches will need do is go down the list with their pen cils and mark an "X" now and then when they detect a 200- pound halfback who can run the hundred yards in 10 seconds flat No subsidizing.
