The happiest guy in town today was ageless Mcl Ott, the little elant who has high hopes at last of rewarding his loyal legion of fans with a National league nnnnant. His team, with 17 victories In 22 starts, is off to the best get away for the league since Cin cinnati won the pennant in 1840 and there are no indications of 8 crack-up. There are plenty of factors to account for the upsurge, but the biggest is a terrorizing dis play of home run and extra base power. That was the case yester day when the Giants won their ninth game in the last 10, beat ing the well regarded Chicago Cubs, 6 to 5. The game went into extra innings and Phil Wein traub had to break it up with a single in the 10th which scored Ray Treadway from second. The second place Dodgers kept on winning at Brooklyn, making it nine straight by defeating the Pirates, 4 to 1. At Philadelphia, the Cincin nati Reds cashed in on three errors to score four unearned runs in the fourth and 5 to 4. All American league games were rained out and St. Louis at Boston in the National moved up their game to create a double bill Wednesday.

Manager Marv Owen's nine has Just completed one of the most successful road trips in Pa cific Coast League history win- nlng 11 out of 14 games on for eign territory. The Bevos trounced Hollywood in a 6-1 series, then ended on a high note at San Dlcgo by taking the last five games in a row for a 5-2 tri umph. The slugging Seattle array, back in second place after a 4-1 series triumph at Sacramento, also returns to the home lot to take on the rejuvenated San Francisco ' Seals, also starting Wednesday. Hollywood s bleak outlook for the future probably wont be aided any by the invasion of San Diego tonight. The Padres have just dropped two heart-breaking 4-3 series in a row and the. ace mound staff of the border-town gang should find the silent star bats made to order. Sacramento at Oakland offers (Jie followers of the fine art of slugging a probable, chance to get their fill. Both clubs are well stocked with gentlemen who can sock the ball, and after a slim week of base hits on both outfits, a rash of slugging is pre dicted.

The American fell in the wa ter and was later rescued by a small plane from one of the task force battleships.

S. 12th Army Group, May IS U.fi) Millions of Ger man prisoners who have stream ed into the American and Brit ish lines since the surrender have created a huge problem for the occupation armies. It is estimated that more than 6,000,000 Germans have given up to the western allies since the peace was signed. Most of them surrendered to avoid being captured by the Russians. Approximately 2,000,000 have surrendered .to the 12th army group and these, together with a vast number who surrendered during Gen. Omar N. Bradley's advance to . the Elbe, have brought about a situation where the Germans have more military forces in the occupied territory than the total number' of occupy ing forces.
