Joyce, Fletcher Continue Coast Loop Hurling Pace (By United Press) The two "wlnningest" pitchers in the Pacific Coast league con tinued their merry way over the week-end. Lanky Bob Joyce, San Fran cisco Seals star who already has been lined up by the New , York Giants, fashioned a seven-hitter against San Diego for his 2'ith victory of the season. Guy Fletcher, ace of the Sacramento Solon mound staff, annexed his 21st win at Hollywood by a 4-0 score. While these two mound stars were shining, the first place race in the league tightened up as the loop-leading Portland Beavers dropped a pair to Oakland by identical scores, 4-2. The series Was divided, fnnr eampc Mr-h. Seattle Wins Two Seattle took a pair from Los Angeles Sunday, 9-5 and 2-0. Seattle won the series, 5-2. San Francisco split with San Diego, 6-2 and 5-2. The Seals won the series, 4-3. Sacramento split with Holly wood, losing the first 74 and Helping tomorrow arrive by air A flying boxcar took off the other day from Salinas, Cali fornia, headed for Cleveland, Ohio. Loaded with strawber ries, lettuce, peaches, nectarines and plums, it flew through a test tube more than 2,000 miles long. ' For this was the first of a three months' series of experi mental flights to find out what's what about shipment of perish, able farm produce by airplane about putting good things fresh with western dew upon the breakfast tables of the fast. Everybody has long consid ered such service a certainty of the future. We believe it can be done today. Hence we're co-operating with Ralph E. Myers, one of the world's largest pro duce operators, in a test to dis cover the economic and opera tional "bugs" and get rid of them. Wo are fueling with 100 octane gasoline a four-motored Consolidated Vultee sky freighter, dubbed the "City of Salinas" and operated by Amer ican Airlines, which is plying for an unprecedented three months' test period between California growing centers and such distant markets as New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Chi cago and Philadelphia reduc ing days to hours along the way. Thus Standard of California is again sharing in a forward step of commercial aviation, something which has become a habit since those days of the '20's when we flew one of the first transport planes through the West as a pioneering ven ture to demonstrate its practic ability. Over the years we've helped with airplane beacons on dan gerous peaks. We've helped with hundreds of roof-top airway signs. And, all along, weVe helped through the scientific development of oils and fuels. Now, once more, we're helping usher in an aviation tomorrow.
