to just 81 batters in the seven-in-
ming nightcap while his mates were
pounding out a 10 to 0 victory.
Pippen, who broke into the Pei

two of Oakland's runs were earned
Hugh Luby and Les Scarsella each
collected three hits for the winners.
Fern Bell and Jack Devincenzi
homered with the bases loaded to
aid Pippens great performance in
the finale. The Oaks took the ser
les, four games to three.
The Portland Beavers continued
to demonstrate that the Los Angel
eS Angels are only human after all
by splitting twin bill, thus wind
ing up with Sd margin in the
series.
Home runs by Larry Barton and
Ed Adams, both with one man on,
gave the Beavers a 7-6 victory in
the first game. Joe Orrell permit
ted Los Angeles 13 hits and Jake

Dodgers Pacing Nationals
Old Men

Good
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, June CUP'-They
called the Dodgers the mine old
men" when the season began and
predicted that age would finish
Brooklyn quicker than the opposi-
ton. But Leo Durocher'S club had
the last laugh today as it held first
place in the National League,
propped up by the performance of
one of the oldest players in the
game-Freddie FitZSimmons.
You won't find FitZsimmons name
among the strikeout leaders and he
doesn't rank high in the won-and-
lost column. However. there hasn't
been a grander exhibition of COM
petitive courage than the one given
by the 41-year-old pitching veteran
against the St. Louis Cardinals
Yesterday.

BY OSCAR FRALEY

NEW YORK, June l CUP)-The
gagsters from coast to coast today
tossed out their stores of jokes on
Bing Crosby's ragged racing
stable" For Bing's Don Bingo has
added the 57th running OF the
coveted Suburban Handicap at Bel
mont Park to his string of vic
tories, giving the old singing man
plenty to Groom about.
From Bob Hope to Jay C.. Flippen
they all agreed that jokes were out
and that the raw-boned South
American colt was a champion all
the way yesterday as he brought
Bing's cerise and white silks home
first in the mile and one-quarter
test in a snappy POI 2/5. The
smooth, fleet, brown Don BingO
beat some of the best horses in the
country as he flashed under the
wire two leigths ahead Of the
favored Market Wise, the bargain
basement star of contractor Louis
Tufanos stable.

TOWN MEETING CREATES FIVE MAN POLICEBOARD
Father Guerin, Independent Cops A Minority Post

Running as an independent, Rev, Fr. Michael J. Guerin, pastor of the Church of Christ the King took the spotlight at the special town meeting, June 4. when he was elected with James Anderson, School St., John Carvalho, Bloom field Ave-, Joseph Vincent, Pros pect St., and Will Walsh, Blue Hills Ave-, to Bloomfield's new board of police commissioners.
 Anderson, Carvalho, and Vincent are Republicans. Walsh is Dem ocrat.
 Widespread dissatisfaction with previous selections of party com mittees is said to have accounted for Father Guesrin's candidacy and that of five other Republicans making field of twelve for the meeting to consider. But when the preliminary balloting had finished, Father Guerin was the only one remaining who had not carried a party endorsement to the election.
 Melville H. Barnard and John F. Kiernan of the Democratic party survived the initial ballot but were defeated on the final count. The unsuccessful Republican candid ates, nominated from the floor, were Randolph L. Smith, F. Wat son Burnham, Frederick J. Pistel, Anthony Balesano and Carleton B. Barnard.
 Following the town meeting, the commission met and voted to ap- point as supernumaries the men who have been serving the town as constables. These appointments will continue in effect until the board meets later for further action.
 Prior to the election of the pol ice commissioners the meeting voted to discontinue publication of the property assessment list in the annual town report; talbed mo- tions to discontinue sending copies of the annual report to all voters and eliminate post card notices of town meetings: passed without dis cussion a resolution prohibiting the use of new state road funds until after January 1, 1914.
