NEW YORK, May 11.-Don
Warneke won his fourth sgame of
the season yesterday afternoon
when he pitched seventh ball
against Philadelphia Phillies as
his teammates pounded Passeau
for IL safeties and a 4-3 victory.
The Card hurler was relieved in
the ninth by Bowman, although
no runs were scored off his de-
livery in that frame. Passeau
and, Warneke staged a pitchers
battle most of the way.
Brooklyn Dodgers hoped on
two Cincinnati Red hurlers' for
IL safeties and scored a 10 to 5
win over the then league-leaders.
Meanwhile Wyatt and Hutchin-
son limited the Redlegs to seven
safe blows. Dodgers came from
behind twice. A seven-run rally
in the seventh cinched the game.
Cards victory and Reds loss
brought the two teams into tie
for first place in the National
League. The Reds lost the serv-
ices of Tony Chccinillo, who was
injured when attempting to put
man out at second.
Pittsburgh Pirates rose from
the cellar yesterday into sixth
place by blanking New York
Giants, S to o, while the rhillies
were losing. The former relief
hurler held Terry's charges to-
six hits.
Lou Fette echalked up his fourth
win as he pitched .masterful three
hit ball against Chicago Cubs for
the Boston Bees. One of the.
Bruins two markers was a hon.
er by Hartnett and the other was
unearned. The Bees batted a trio
of Cub rrioUndsmen for 10 bingles
and six runs, ....... =
Although. New York Yankees
have won two more games than
Boston Red Sox, they have lost

Bosox, who were idle yesterday.
Murdeerrs' lost no time downing
St. Louis Browns yesterday. Cir
cult clouts in the first inning pro-
duced four runs-two more than

It's five victories for Bob Eel

hurler was good in the ipirches.

EMPLOYMENT
GAINS; DROP
IN BENEFITS
Unemployment Compen.
safion Payments Cut
in Half Since March

Number of benefit checks paid
unemployed Alaskans by the I'm
employment Compensation Com
mission has been cut in half since
March, the decrease being attri-
buted mainly to resumption of sea-
sonal employment.
The frs three weeks of June
show a decided decrease in the num-
Der of benefit checks written by the
Commission, Walter P. Sharpe, Di-
rector, said today
Records of the Commission dis
close that more than 1000 payments
were issued during the month of
March, it is estimated the month
of June will show a so percent de-
crease from this figure.
Maximum Paid Some
The reason for this decrease, Mr..
Sharpe said, is the resumption of
seasonal employment within the
Territory and the fact number
of individuals have received bene-
fits for 16 weeks, the maximum
number under the law.
Unemployment benefit payments
have been a great aid to Alaska
workers who have become unem-
ployed during the past slack season"
Sharpe stated.
Approximately 10000 benefit checks
have been written by the Commits
sion, representing an outlay of
some 100000 which has been dis
tributed among Alaska workers.
