PCC All-Star Tussle
Tonight; Angels Lead
League by 12 Games
Portland. Ore. 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.

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

FOR THE BIG THINGS
IN YOUR LIFE, BE READY
WITH
U. S. 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.
