U.R) The Pacific Coast league holds its annual All-Star game in Mult nomah stadium tonight before what may be a record crowd for the classic. Portland Beaver officials pointed to the fact that the Beavers have been drawing well all season long in their new park despite the fact they are in sec ond divsion. They said this aug ured well for tonight's game. The record attendance mark for the game is 19,851, set in Los Angeles in 1947. San Fran cisco drew 14.210 in 1948 for the next best mark. Portland Manager Bill Swee ney is piloting the north team. He will start Gene Bearden of Sacrament on the mound. Mana ger Bob Scheffing of Los Ange les will start Angel mound ace Dave Millman for the South team. The Seattle Rainiers. collaps ing almost as- fast as the New York' Giants, virtually were through as pennant contenders today in the Pacific Coast league race and faced a battle to stay in second place.. While the Los Angeles Angels swept a double header from Sacramento Sunday to boom ahead of the field by 12'2 games, the Suds dropped a pair to last place Vancouver and now have lost nine out of their last ten games. No mercy was shown In any of Sunday's double features as the winners trampled their vic tims twice. The Angels downed Sacramento 4-3 and 7-1, 'Van couver belted the Suds 15-7 and 3-2, Hollywood dropped San Francisco into seventh place, 6-0 and 5-3 and San Diego shook up Portland. 8-4 and 10-8. Beamon Smashes Homer Vancouver teed off against three Seattle hurlers for 19 hits in the first game. Ron Jackson drove in four runs while con necting for four of them, three for extra bases. Charlie Drum mond got the win and Clarence Podbielan, who was shelled off the mound in the fourth inning, the loss. Then Charlie Beamon smashed a two run homer in the night cap and scattered seven hits to insure the twin triumph. Steve Bilko hit his 47th home run for the Cherubs as they blitzed Sacramento 7-1 in the nightcap after old reliable Bob Anderson had saved the opener for Marino Pieretti. Chico Arroyo blanked the San Francisco Seals with a seven hitter while posting his fourth win for Hollywood in the first game at drafty Seals stadium. Cat and Mouse Gene Freese drove in four runs in the second game with a homer and a double to lead the Twinks to their sweep. San Diego played cat and mouse with Portland in the first game, spotting the Beavers a two run lead in the first two in nings. But that was wiped out in the fourth frame and Harry Elliott's two run homer in the seventh helped turn the game into a rout. The win went to Bob Greenwood and the loss to Bob Darnell. A total of seven pitchers earned their salary in the wind- up. Lev Spencer iced the game for the Padres In the seventh frame when he came in to put down a three-run Portland rally that was featured by despera tion homers off the bats of Bob Borkowski and Jack Littrell. The Bevos committed six errors in this contest.

Their chief concern is the res cue and rehabilitation of any lid creature in Oregon that is lick or injured.

Any bird that recovers is en couraged to rejoin his brethren any time he feels the call of the wild. Nothing but a low fence and an aura of hospitality restrains any of the ducks or geese. Hawks, eagles and other predators are kept in cages. No attempt is made to tamt them. O'Donahue feels they have a better chance of survival if they retain their wild ways. Inmates Forego Freedom Such Is the charm of the place, however, that some of the birds fall in love with the boss and refuse to leave. One of the geese he wooed this way is a contented inmate of Portland's zoo today. He goes by the name of Jim the Pedes- trian. He came to O'Donahue after a state patrolman picked him up in the tules a couple of years ago. O'Donahue could find nothing wrong with him. But the bird refused to fly. seemed to prefer the comDanv of iO Dpnahue "to the other geese." O'Donahue's busy season starts with the first wild volleyi of the hunting season. Hunten by the thousands start camping around the shores of Tule lake in tent cities two weeks before the opening day.

Thousands of O'Dooahne and King, Labra d o r retriever, demonstrate method of rescuing wild fowL to his modest home overlooking Klamath Falls and places him in his half-acre hospital pen. If Ithe bird's wing is dragging, he may have to amputate. In any case, he clips the feathers to prevent the bird from flying for a year, to give him tune to recuperate. If the fowl is siok or starving. he may have to force-feed it Thrusting a tube down a goose's yard-long neck clear into the gizzard, O'Donahue forces a shot of raw eggs and milk into the craw, then follows up with "He's a born first-aid dog.

Then King's work is done. But O'Donahue's is Just begin ning. He rushes the bird back O'Donahue will tackle any- wild creature that is sick or hurt. He has doctored deer and squirrels. He has nursed wound ed hawks, falcons, eagles and even swallows. Most dangerous to handle is the eagle, who never gives up. ducks and geese are shot dewn out of flocks that number hundreds of thousands in a single narrow field a quarter mile long. Wardens, patrolmen and some hunters, too, bring crippled birds to O'Donahue's Red Cross station for wild life as his fame continues to spread. UO's Don Steen Decathlon Victor Vancouver, B.C.

SAVINGS BONDS mtewife- Tlie case of the and the husband who learned the hard way that Savings Bonds can't be destroyed! Once there was a husband who was definitely in the doghouse. When our wayward hero came home from work, his wife was no place in sight. And instead of the usual hot meal on the table, there were only some cold scraps of paper. Closer inspection proved that the scraps were the remains of some United States Savings Bonds that he had accumulated over the years. What happened next between husband and wife is not known, but here's what the record does show. The husband sent the scrape of mutilated Bonds to the Treasury Department. And new Bonds were issued without charge to replace his original ones. So all ended happily. Everything usually does end well when you put your money in Bonds. Here's why. You just can't lose a U. S. Savings Bond. No matter whether it's misplaced, stolen, or destroyed by an irate wife, the Treasury Department will replace it and date it to coincide with your original Bond. Savings Bonds are not only safer than cash, but one of the best investments you can make. You can be sure of the principal, sure of the returns (an averagt 3 interest when held to maturity) and sure of the future when you invest regularly in Savings Bonds. So start investing in Savings Bonds today on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or by regular purchases where you bank. Tht U.S. Government does not pay for this U. S.
