Hello Folks-Last Wed. evening at the Elks meeting it was decided that the Boy Scouts were to be spon- sored by the Elks. Two of our new Brothers have taken the responsi- bility of scout leaders We want to give them all the cooperation and aid that they need, however they claim they are self-supporting so all we need to give is moral support. I shouldn't have said that, but real ly brothers this is one time we want the Scouts to be thriving organiza- tion.

TIGHT PITCHING
PUSHES S0L0NS
AHEAD IN RACE
nv UNITED PRESS

Sacramento's Cardinals increased
their advantage in the Pacific Coast
league by twice beating the Seattle
Rainiers Friday night, 8-3 and Al,
through some top pitching by Kemp
Wicker and Tony Freitas.
The Solons clinched the opener
with a five-run barrage at the eX-
pense of Dick Barrett in the third
inning and never were in trouble
thereafter. Only one of the Seattle
runs was earned and Wicker him
self took a hand in the victory by
driving in a run with a hefty dou-
BILE.
In the nightcap, Freitas limited
the Rainiers to four blows while
Sacramento was reaching Ed Car
nett for eight. Three errors by
Seattle aided the Cards to victory.
Portland and San Diego split
pair, the Padres took the opener
80 and the Beavers coming back
for an ILL victory in the eight
inning nightcap, called by the time
limit
Home runs by Jack Whipple and
Johnny Jensen, each with the bags
empty, helped the Padres to their
victory in the opener. Wally Hebert
gave the Beavers only four hits,
while Wayne Osborne, was doing
out five to the Padres.
In the nightcap, however, the
Beavers blew the lid off in the
third inning when they landed on
Frankie DaSSo and Ed Vitalich for
seven runs on two walks and seven
hits, including Rupert Thompson'S
homer.
Los Angeles beat Hollywood 90,
with Barney Olsen leading the An
gels to victory with brace of hon.
ers that accounted for four runs.
Bob Joyce scattered 10 hits to give
San Francisco a Go victory over
Oakland and move the Seals back
into the first division Ray Perry
broke up a tight hurting duel be-
tween Joyce and Stan Corbett by
homing in the fifth.

Imperial Valley business visitor this
week, was a cracker jack second

friends report.
Walter Heinecke, FL Centro's pub
lie works director, recalls the days
when he and Housh both worked
for the same alma mater, Kansas
university, and the PW. director
assures us that the OPA man was
really all right. Housh could cover
just about as much territory down
keystone way as any man he has
seen in long time, Heinecke says.
He was fast as a scared jack
rabbit and his fielding was mar
vel to behold.
And when it came to the sticking
department Mr. Housh could car
ry his end as we'll as in the field.
Might call him a coach'S delight.

NEW YORK, June 81 CUP) -
The Chicago White Sox spent so
much of the early part of the sea-
son staggering III and out of last
place that they appeared headed
for their first second division spot
in four years but Jimmy Dykes
squad must be credited with the
quickest change of pace in the ma
jors today.
Eight victories in their last II
games and three straight Shutouts
make up Chicago's current impos-
ing record-a mark even more i'm
pressive considering the inactivity
of Thornton Lee and the Loss of
johnny Rigney to the Navy.
ARM AILMENT
Lee, 22-game winner and tops
il the circuit last year, is suffer-
ing from an arm ailment that has
p1rvented him from pS ching a
single inning this season
But Dykes and Coach Muddy
Ruel apparently have ironed out
the pitching staff crimp and have
restored its effectiveness to such
degree that in hepast II games,
Chicago chuckerS have compiled
the amazing earned run mark of
2.63, a standard without equal in
either league.
The White SoX had lost all eight
of their meetings with the New
York Yankees this season but last
night, ComiSkey Parks largest
crowd of the year-25, 5,934-watched
the Sox take advantage of Lefty
Gomez wildness and rolled up a
AZ triumph. Ed Smith won his
second victory against IL losses
holding the Yanks to six hits.
Charley Keller's eighth homer with
one on in the second spoiled
Smiths shutout.
Dick NeWsome won his seventh
victory as the Boston Red Sox cut
the Yanks' lead to 6h games with
80 triumph over the Cleveland
Indians before a night crowd of
1904.
AL Benton held his former mates
to six hits and the Detroit Tigers
clipped the Philadelphia Athletics,
81. Benton famed eight for his
fifth victory.
NINTH VICTORY
st. Louis slammed three pitchers
for II hits and an 8-5 triumph over
Washington. Elden Auker also al
lowed IL hits but scattered them
well enough to win his ninth vic
tory.
In the National League, the
Brooklyn Dodgers won their fourth
in a row, Sd, in IL innings over
the Cincinnati Reds but the tri-
umph was spoiled when Joe Med
wick's 27-game batting streak was
broken.

given the advantage of the tough

"They will all get their chance to
get toughened up and learn why
