(By Associated Press

In the Shaughnessy playoffs, Oakland last night took a one game edge over San Francisco, 5 to 1, victory behind the pitching of Oaks Manuel Salvo. The Oaks nipped the Seals, 6 to in l3- inning game Wednesday night, but the victory was later cancelled by League President Clarence Row land, who upheld the Seals pro- test over a foul ball that was de- clared fair in the second inning. That game will be replayed Satur- day.
 The Los Angeles Angels, who won the Pacific Coast League pen nant by 12 games, bowed for the second night in row last night to the Portland Beavers, who won 3 to 2. Marine Pieretti held the Champs to five hits and shut them out after the third inning. Port land needs two more wins to get in the finals with the winner of the Oaks-Seals series.

Great armies have been started with fewer "veterans0
 That the reason for the rapid ad- vance of Allied forces in western Europe has been that the Germans have decided the war is over and have opened the back door" to U. s. and British forces rather than let the Russians in There even has been talk that this is part of the "capitulation offer" made to the United States and England.
 Military experts here say if the British, Canadian and American forces move across Germany as rap idly as they have swept across France, and the Russians still are held on the eastern frontiers, there may be some reason for speculation along these lines.
 q haven't found any official here, however, who gives eredence to the rumor that any such proposition" has been made to the U. s. and Great Britain0
 These and scores of other such tips and hints keep Washington seething. History or tomorrow's news
 undoubtedly will prove some of them true.

SCHOOL INITIATION

The Douglas Freshmen are being initiated today and this evening in several different ways. For the past several days, Freshmen have been purchasing an unusual amount of ice cream cones, and never get to eat them. Ever so often you see a Freshman on his or her knees before a higher classman, saving to the Honorable Honorable One" that they will do as bid. This morning the class of eight Fresh men are very fashionably dressed with a new sort of style--pajamas and bathrobes, big overgrown bow ties, and hair done up in a fashion not too becoming to them. There has also been considerable giving of the "hot seat" around of late. Tonight the initiation will be eli maxed with party in the Douglas Schools at 8:15 o'clock, at which the faculty and staff are invited.

 Grease -sineared men, looking lit- tie like soldiers, were at work. They were attaching bumpers, air brakes, couplings and all the other necessary contraptions to the under side of the car floors. These were hoisted by travelling cranes and set on their axles. Then the embyro cars were pushed along on their tracks and given over to the body builders. Before long they became gondolas, cabooses, tank cars or big brothers of those tiny box-like creations which in the last war were marked 40 hommes, 8 che vaux. But when the stencillers
