 WALLOpED.,
 3 HOME R !.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

A fourth-inning pitch worth a mere single was what worried Oakland leftfielder Brooks Holder today.
 Every other ball he tied into last night boomed over the fence for three home runs in four times at bat.
 His teammates joined him in the rout for an 18-hit assault and a 15-2 shellacking of the Seattle Rainiers.
 Holder opened the Oakland at tack with a 340-foot blow in the first inning, repeated in the third, Slumped to the point of singling in the fourth, homered again in the fifth, and by that time the third Seattle hurler to see service had had enough.
 In winning the lopsided victory the Oaklanders were unable to shake their challengers for the lCdNl, lliC 0dli ldllIloCO Seals, game behind. They turned in 10 shutout of the San Diego Padres.
 After 10 straight losses since he pitched a no-hit game two months ago, Ad Liska came back last night to hurl the Portland Beavers to a 6-3 decision over the Los Angeles Angels. He allowed nine hits and enough punching for three Angel runs in the seventh. The Beavers eXplodtL fcur-run attack in the second inning off Dick Conger, who retired in the last half of that frame. The game evened the series at 2-all.
 The Hollywood Stars profited from errors for 6-3 victory over the Sacramento Solons, making it four in a row.

Terrible Teddy Williams, gener- ally acclaimed as one of the all- time hitting greats, appears well on the way today to become the first player ever to lead the American League in the Big Four" hit de- partment-batting, home runs, runs batted in and total hases-in two different years.
 Not even Williams immortal pre- decessors, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx, could accomplish the feat.
 The clouting kid from Boston struck his 20th home run yester- day to wrest the leadership from Detroit's Hank Greenberg as the league-leading Red Sox routed the Washington Senators 12-1.
 Charley Keller's 17th home run with one aboard broke up a tight II pitching duel between tie Tanks Floyd Bevens and the Ath- letics' Phil Marchildon to give the Bronx Bombers a Al victory. A walk to Tommy Heinrich set the stage for Keller's game winning homer Another walk and a pair of singles produced the last run.
 Brooklyn's three and a half game National League lead rernain- ed in status quo as the Dodgers whipped the Boston Braves 3-1 in the daytime, while the runner-up St. Louis Cardinals trounced the Pittsburgh Pirates at night 5-1.
 The Philadelphia Phillies made it 19 victories in 26 games as they eked out a 7-5 decision over the New York Giants in a 10-inning affair under the lights, but could not move into fifth place as the Cincinnati Reds, occupying the top berth in the second division by a half game, defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-3, also in 10-inning con- test.

A LITTLE GOOD

&c. J. Doherty in Missoula County Times)
A recent news release from OPA headquarters reports on
a survey of business firms in Montana. The surveyors declare
that the overwhelming majority of firms were complying with
OPA regulations and the majority of the few violators were
unaware of their violations. Thus, we find a change of ath-
tude by OPA. Formerly every merchant was considered a
potential criminal and often inspectors and shoppers acted like
F. B. /. agents after a murderous kidnapper.
1t is pleasing to find the OPA acknowledging that the
average business man is honest and is trying faithfully to live
up to the burdensome and rapidly changing regulations that
haunt him night and day.
1t is impossible for any business man to live up to and be
aware of all the regulations and rules that the various alpha
betical agencies and bureaus have compiled during the last five
years. Many of these rules and regulations were idotic and
impossible of compliance or enforcement. They were made to
apply to one section or one industry in this great nation. To
attempt to apply them to the entire nation was ridiculous.
Now that the OPA is off on the right foot let us all hope
it will continue to travel in the right direction.

Men Are Ready to
Pilot Any, Planes
Must Know How to Fly Al
Type of aircraft.

TERMINAL ISLAND, CALF. -
The navy pilot zoomed in over the
field in a little Hellcat, landed,
walked across the runway, and took
off on a four-engined amphibious
job.
"Hey, doesn't he even get a check
ride in that thing before he switches
over?"
"Shove off, Mac" the sailor
groundcrewman said. "This is ma
val air ferry squadron three. If we
checked those guys out we couldn't
of flown 2 1000 planes 20 million
miles in two years, could we? Not
with only 5000 pilots anyway"
"Yeah, but do all these guys know
how to fly all types of ~planes?"
"Mac, they can fly IS different
types of naval aircraft"
Comdr. Henry S. Blake, USNR,
commanding officer of squadron
three, walked up and began to ex-
plain a little of his outfits far flung
operations since its commissioning
December l, 1943.
"What the crewman told you was
correct. We laid special emphasis
on training pilots to operate the
highest number of types of navy
planes so they would go anywhere,
anytime. At one time we had 30
per cen of our officers and men
away on ferry trips to Saipan, Okin-
ava, Two lima and carriers stand
ing off Tokyo"
The squadron was started when
increased plane production made
it impossible for naval activities to
dispatch pilots to pick up and ferry
each new aircraft, the commander
explained.
