bunted and beat the ball for a
hit. The ball then was heaved
to the plate but Allen slid safely
home. Reaves got to third with

ened by nine fly balls which
were caught for outs. Schirmer,
hard-throwing Tiger, whiffed 14
batters, walked two and tossed
one wild pitch.

While Los Angeles and Seat
tle were playing Alphonse and
Gaston with the Pacific Coast
League last night, Eddie Basin-
ski of the Portland Beavers was
playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
with the Hollywood Stars.
Los Angeles recaptured the
loop lead with a 10-9 victory
over San Diego while Seattle
was conveniently losing 0-10 to
Vancouver.
Basinski showed the Holly-
woodians his dramatic ability
by booting four grounders, three
in one inning, to help give the
Stars five unearned runs. Then
he changed character in the bot
tom of the ninth and hit a grand
slam home run that gave the
game to Portland 6-5 and moved
the Beavers a notch ahead of the
Twinks.
In the loop's other game Sac
ramento rattled the boards for
10 extra base hits and a 10-3
win over San Francisco.
Slippery Ball
Basinski's three errors in the
second gifted Hollywood with
four runs and they got another
unearned tally in the third.
Then Sam Calderone pinch hit
a two-run homer in the eighth
for the first Portland scores.
The first three men ud in the
bottom of the ninth got on for
Portland and Basinski got them
off on his first pitch.
San Diego and Los Angeles
batted the ball around for 26
hits in nine innings until George
Freese's single broke a 9-9 tie
in the bottom of the ninth.
Bob Speake, Steve Bilko and
Jim Bolger homered' for Los
Angeles and Dick Sisler and
Clarence Moore did likewise
for the Padres.
Jim McDonald and Al Curtis
held Seattle to five hits as they
racked up Vancouver's first
shutout victory of the year. Mc
Donald gave up all the hits, but
tired in the late frames and Cur
tis pitched the ninth.
Meanwhile the Mounties mis
treated Don Fracchia and Howie
Judson. getting 13 hits and put
ting together a six-run fourth
frame. George Metkovich led
the attack with four hits, in
cluding a homer and a double
Coming and Going
George Risley started the Sac
ramento scoring with a two-run
homer in the first and in the
eighth Rufe Crawford closed it
out with the same kind of a
blast.
Four Seal hurlers saw front
line duty and the Solons scat
tered their seven doubles, a tri
ple and two homers fairly even
ly. Altogether they had 15 hits.
Cloyd Boyer was the winner,
going the route the only pitch
er in the loop to do so last night.
By coincidence all home teams
won last night after the visi
tors had all triumphed the night
before," leaving all four series
tied 'at 1-1 for today's rubber
games.

All Portland Workers
To Get Pay Increase
Portland (U.R) Key city
administrative officials, in line
for a pay boost under city coun
cil action taken Monday, yester
day saw the plan sidetracked.
The city council, sitting as a
budget committee, agreed to lim
it pay hikes to a one-step raise
across the board for all city em
ployees. Commissioner William A.
Bowes, a supporter of the pay
boost In the action, yesterday
announced that he would change
his vote.
The proposal carried in the
council Monday by a 3-2 vote.
Bowes' reversal would have
meant a shift in the majority.
Mayor Fred Peterson also agreed
with Commissioners Stanley W.
Earl and Ormond R. Bean that
the big boosts might not be fi
nancially possible under the city
budget.
Under the informal agree
ment reached yesterday, all city
employees will receive a pay j
boost of $10 to $20 a month.
New York (U.R) The base
ball world looks on the arrival
of Sal Maglie with the Brooklyn
Dodgers as one of the weirdest
events in the history of the
game.
Not even the days when
Brooklyn made a habit of put
ting three men on base the
same base holds a candle to the
"Barber" taking over a Flatbush
chair. The inference was that
he'd better keep his razor handy.
But to Maglie, once one of the
most detested of the hated
Giants, it's "just like coming
home."
"It was a much stranger feel
ing when the Giants sold me to
Cleveland in mid-1951," Maglie
explained as he sat in the
Dodger dressing room with that
unfamiliar lettering across his
chest. "That was really a star
tling feeling."
Fire O'clock Shadow
Sal had a faraway look in his
eyes as he ran a hand across his
famed five o'clock shadow, the
ever-blooming stubble which he
suited in his nickname when he
came up to the Giants in 1950
after playing in the Mexican
league. That was when Leo Du
rocher took one glance and
grunted:
"He looks more like the Bar
ber handling the end chair.".
After which, in more than
five seasons as a Giant, Maglie
shaved a lot of rivals with
the closest razor jobs held in re
serve for the Dodgers. Through
that period he won 22 from
Brooklyn and lost only six, hurl
ing five shutouts at the club he
most loved to beat.
But then he was sold to Cleve
land and there, among a wealth
of pitchers, Maglie got lost. Last
season he pitched only 26 in
nings for the Indians. This spring
they used him for only five in
nings in two games before taking
Brooklyn's cash last week.
"Going to Cleveland was the
tough jump," Maglie insisted as
he looked around at his new
Brooklyn teammates. "It was a
case of strange parks, strange
hitters and nothing but strange
faces."
There was a satisfied grin on
the lean, saturnine face which
glowers habitually when he is
on the mound.
Like Coming Home
"This is almost like coming
home. After all, I've known all
these guys for years. I know all
the National League parks and I
know the hitters. Even when I
walked m here, in the Dodger
clubhouse, I felt like they all
were old friends of mine."
,Maglie's hopes are high as he
contemplates pitching with the
famed Dodger power behind
him.
"I wasn't pitching well for a
while because of a bad back,"
he explained. "Favoring it gave
me bad pitching habits. But I'm
straightened out now and I feel
okay. I think I can help Brook
lyn." Which, whether he admits it
or not, are words you never
thought you'd hear from "the
Barber.' the man who nareA thp
dramatic Giant pennant march
which unseated the Dodgers in
1951.
Now. If the Dodeers can onlv
get Bobby Thomson from Mil
waukee mai scenario will be
complete.
Sprague Sees Trend
In Civil Rights Law
Portland (U.R) Ex-Gov
ernor Charles A. Sprague said
that Oregon's 1953 civil rights
law has had a "profound effect
on places of public resort."
Sprague was speaker at the
first membership meeting and
dinner of the Oregon chapter
of the American Civil Liberties
union Tuesday night at the Mult
nomah hotel. The chapter was
formed about a year ago.
"There is a growing trend to
respect that civil rights law,"
Sprague said, "not just out of
fear of legal action but respect
for the purpose of the law." The
law prohibits discrimination in
any public place because of
race, creed or national origin
"The biggest problem on the
national scene in civil rights to
day," Sprague said, "is in the
field of loyalty and security.
The margin is very narrow be
tween preservation of govern
ment and preservation of indi
vidual liberties."

Russ Would Welcome
Tour by Joint Chiefs
New York UR Russia has
secretly informed Washington
that it would welcome a visit of

Staff for an inspection of the So

The newspaper in a copy
righted story said it was in
formed of the invitation by a
U.N. news source Wednesday
night.
Feelers have already been put
out by the Soviets in the United
States on what the American re
action would be, the newspaper
said.
The news said the source ad
mitted that the Soviet feeler
might be just a trial balloon,
either to test public reaction in
this country or to open a new
phase of its "peace offensive"
propaganda.
