Seattle Manager Luke Sewi !l,

hungry Rainiers home today

games but still determined to j
slug it out for the flag wi'h one
of the greatest nowernouses m
Pacific Coast league his'ory.
Sewell. who brought in the
old St. Louis Browns by a
whisker for their only pennant
in 1944. faced what h.okwl like

San Francisco Seals led Seattle
12-3 in the eighth inning. But
his Rainiers battled back for
10 runs in that frame to nose out
the Seals 13-12 in the first game
of a twin hill.
Veteran Max Surkont shut out
the Sewells in the nightcap with
a neat five-hitter. 30. but that
garrison finish in th' first game
had the pennant gleam in Sow
ell's eye, bright as it ever was
with the Browns in another dec
ade. The Rainiers lost a half game
by the split as the Angels pro
pelled by Steve (The Wrecker)
Bilko powered over Sacramento

Priming for
Seafair Run
By DON THACKREY
Livermore, Calif. (U.R; The
crew in a sand and gravel plant
in this California town of 7.000
have an uncommon interest in
the outcome of a hydroplane
race on Seattle's Lake Wash
ington a week from Sunday.
The race is the S25.000 Sea
fair regatta for unlimited hydro
planes and the reason for the
interest of the workers at the
sand and gravel plant is that
one of the boats. "Scooter Too."
is practically their baby.
The Scooter is one of two
boats entered in the Lake Wash
ington championship by Edgar
Kaiser and it was designed,
built and perfected at Kaiser's
Livermore sand and gravel
plant.
Jack Regas. who will pilot
the boat, is a welder at the
Kaiser plant. Bart Carter, who
designed the Scooter and built
it in a reconverted warehouse
at the plant, is the plant super
intendent and a former mayor
of Livermore.
Plenty of Help
Mechanics Tim Lee and Ed
Olsen also work in the plant
and innumerable other em
ployees of the sand and gravel
company have had a hand in
building the Scooter and getting
her ready for racing.
Regas reported that he had
the hydroplane out on Lake
Washington Wednesday and
"she did well over 100
miles I

per hour without prosing. I
She is rated at 2.000 horse-1
power at 2.600 revolutions per :
minute and has a tested soeed '

of 160 miles per hour. ;

JOE LOUIS BENCHED AS WRESTLER Ex -heavyweight
Champ Joe Louis is shown as he threw Big Jim Bernard
in Detroit last may during his first, and probably last,
appearance as a wrestler. The Illinois State Athletic Com
mission ruled that Louis will not be allowed to wrestle in
Illinois for at least six months due to a heart condition.
Other National Boxing Association states will likely follow
suit. The day after the above bout, Dr. Robert C. Bennett,
Louis' friend and physician, discovered a broken rib and
said that it had caused damage to his heart.
