Weiss and including gam es of June 8. While Boyd jumped 30 points last week against San Francisco pitching, Les Peden, Los Angel es catcher who Was in front a week ago, dropped 185 to a .303 mark.

The Dodgers, who left for a Western road trip 2V4 games be hind the Giants, suddenly mus cled into a commanding position, five full games in the lead and ready to take on all comers. Monday night they looked like dead ducks until the seventh inning at St. Louis. Then they roared from behind as Peewee Reese hit a two-run single to tie the score at 2-all. And in the eighth Roy Campanella clinched it with a two-run. homer and Boss of Phillies Ponders Trades; Hamner Demoted Chicago (U.R) Philadelph ia Phillie owner Bob Carpen ter has indicated he is thinking about trades after an angry club house meeting and the demotion of Granny Hamner failed to pep up his seventh-place club. The whiz kids who charged to the 1950 National league pen. nant now are the fizz kids, 15 games off the pace. Carpenter bawled the team out in a club house meeting at St. Louis last week-end and he demoted Ham. ner from team captain. Loafing Charged Carpenter blamed the club's fall on the lack of hustle, and his particular ire was aimed at Hamner for passing up tough chance in the field. He accused the shortstop of loafing Friday on a ball that might have gone for a double play instead of a base hit. The Phils owner backed up his manager, Eddie Sawyer, to the hilt. "There's nothing wrong with Eddie," he said. "It's the lack of hustle. There's not a chance anyone will take Eddie's place.' Yakima Tops Seals, 7 to 4 . By UNITED PRESS Dario Lodigiani's Yakima Bears haven't been able to get out of the cellar against other Western International league teams, but they do mighty well against outsiders. . They entertained the parent San Francisco Seals Monday night, and ground out a 7-4 vic tory over the Pacific Coast league team. The win was a great morale booster for the Bears and added another blow to the staggering Seals who had just lost seven in a row to Seattle. Yakima simply outhustled the seals, collecting 10 hits off hurl. ers Bob Savage and Matt Zl dich and committing one error to a pair for the losers.

Dodgers Extend NL Margin With Victorious Road Trip Tuesday.' June 10,' 1951 Carl Furillo provided still two more runs with another homer to make it 6-2. The Dodgers, who have lost only one game on their Western road swing, thus were in a better position than they were a year ago at this time when they had a 31-18 won and lost record. Tuesday they were 35-11. In the American League, the Red Sox increased their margin to a full game over the idle Yankees by topping the Tigers, 9 to 8.

That's the opinion of the own ers of the Seattle Rainiers. The Seattle club, second-division most of the season, found that Hank Sauer Top Vote Getter in All-Star Poll Chicago (U.R) Home run star Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs held on to his lead Tuesday as top vote-getter in the Ail-Star baseball poll as Phil Rizzuto of the New York Yankees increased his edge over Chico Carrasquel of the Chicago white Sox for the American League shortstop po sition. The fourth tabulation of votes showed that the fans had given Sauer, who leads the National League in home runs, 7,853 votes. Carrasquel led In the early voting, but Tuesday's tabula- tions showed Rizzuto with 6,196 votes to 4,932 for the White Sox star. Baseball fans- began voting last Friday to pick the starting National and American League squads for the 15th annual All- Star tussle at Philadelphia July 8. The voting closes at midnight June 27." " out last week. As their win streak continued, the attendance at the games gained and gained. Crowds that averaged less than 2,000 the first couple of nights climbed to 4,000 by Friday and nearly 8,000 saw the Sunday double-bill. The Rainiers go after their 11th straight victory Tuesday night as they tackle the Beavers in Portland. Now up in fourth place after spending the first seven weeks of the campaign in the second division and at one time even in the basement the defending champion Rainiers suddenly have taken on stature. They have the loop's leading hitter in first baseman Bob Boyd, the fastest man in baseball; and manager Bill Sweeney finally has rounded out a pretty good pitching staff. The result is suc cess. The Rainiers don't get a crack at the loop-leading San Diego Padres until they come back from a road trip Tune 24. After playing the Beavers .seven games this week the Rainiers visit Oakland for seven days. Meanwhile, San Diego hopes to consolidate its first-place po sition by taking on the last-place Sacramento Solons this week. In other games, Hollywood, still in second place and only three games out of the lead, takes on the fading Seals in San Francisco, and Oakland visits Los Angeles.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREW Realtors Divided On Good To Come From $ - Lifting of Controls BY UNITED PRESS The nation's realtors were di vided Tuesday on just how much good the relaxation on controls on house down payments would do for the prospective home owner. Some thought it would be beneficial. Others said it was too small to do much good. The Federal Reserve Board, which Monday loosened the con trols effective Wednesday, stood by to see exactly what would happen. The board was alert to tighten things up again should the situation get out of hand. : There was a general feeling among realtors, however, that the easing of Regulation ' X would benefit potential small home owners and those seeking high-priced homes. Nobody much thought it would bring any great change to the middle-priced bracket the $15,000-$20,000 class. Z. L. Majors, former president of the Dallas Real Estate Board, greeted the news enthusiastically. 'Many sales will be made which had been held up because of down payments," he said. : Realtors at Montgomery, Ala., hailed it as the best news we've had all year. It'll let more persons buy homes. "It's what we've been looking for," said Fred C. Lucks, con- tractor and president of the Home Builders Assn. at New Orleans. "Regulation X was hard on middle-income group the very backbone of our nation," he said. Under the new order, veter ans will not be required to make any down payment on homes under $7,000. Non-veterans must put down S instead of 10 per cent as before. Hostility Shown Some builders and real es tate men greeted the action with downright hostility. "The government sure didn't break its back in reducing down- payments on homes," said Jerry Madigan, executive director of the Home Builders Assn. of Greater Cleveland. "They should have dropped the entire regula tion." Victims of Accident Forwarded to California Remains of Dudley C. and (Catherine -E.
