Passengers
 Removed From Russian Vessel

TOKYO, tP)-Passengers of the stricken Russian ship Dvina are being transferred to a Soviet de- stroyer and an escort vessel in the waters off northeast Japan, the U. s. navy reported Saturday.
 The navy said there was no in- dication how many of the Dvina's reported 780 passengers had been rescued. The reports, radioed to the navy from Japanese vessels at the scene, said the passengers were being transferred to the Soviet ships via small boats.
 The reports did not identify the passengers by nationality, or say whether women and children were among them.
 The Japanese vessels - among eight which were standing by the Dvina l50 miles east of the south ern tip of Hokkaido - reported calm seas. The Dvina had been lashed by 50-foot waves since her first distress calls last Wednesday night.
 Earlier Saturday, a Soviet res cue vessel succeeded in putting a pump aboard the leaking and floundering vessel. A spokesman for the Russian mission in Japan said this had greatly improved the prospects of towing the Dvina to port.

 Portland and San Diego split their double bill, the Padres grab ping the opener. to 5. with Port land nabbing the nightcap, 6 to 4. The Beavers won the series. six games to eight, in their belated bid to move into first division.
 Seattle lost both games to Sac ramento. The Sacs put on final inning rallies to win by to ? and 4 to ? scores. Guy Fletcher, the Seattle pitcher in the opener, had given up only one run as he went into the ninth, but Sacramento tallied five runs off Bob Hall, who relieved him.

Larry Dolby To Be
Regular Player

GAS soon as his injured ankle

Cleveland Indian Manager Lou
Boudreau settled, temporarily at
least, what could well be the maj
or Tribe problem during the final
half of the pennant campaign.
Oddly enough this was one spot
which originally figured to give
the Indians no headaches at all,
but a succession of injuries and
disappointments began rocking the
boat so violently that there SEEM
ed to be some danger of it cap
sizing.
As the season opened speedy
Thurman Tucker had been install
ed as custodian Of the middle gar
den, From the outset he proved
terrific lift as he scampered all
over the centerfield acreage with
the same agility that had pre-
viously won him the defensive
leadership among outfielders. At
bat he poked, lined and ran his
way to 300 average, besides
scoring run game and stealing
seven bases. But this handsome
performance was not destined to
last! One afternoon late in May,
while facing his former mates.
the Chicago White Sox, he was
hit or the finger by pitched ball.
The resulting fracture required a
metal splint which he's still wear
ing at this writing, six weeks
later.
To centerfeld in his place went
Walt Judnich, long ball hitting
ex-Brownie. But Walt couldn't
seem to get going. He wasn't as
fast as Tucker afeld nor could
he produce any consistent threat
at the plate.
Hopefully, Manager Boudreu
sent Tucker back into the lineup
--splint and all. Unfortunately,
the experiment didn't work for,
with the injured finger sticking up
like q society matron drinking tea
Tucker couldn't hit a lick. The
Indians dropped 3 to the Yankees
and 1 to the AS before it became

obvious that the bespectackled
hustler wasn't ready.
At this point Boudreau decided
on a desperation move which may
pay handsome dividends before the
summer is over, Into this all-im-
portant spot he inserted his in
experienced but fleet-footed young
Negro outfielder, Larry Dolby. AL
most at once the 23year-old rook-
lie showed a decided liking for that
spacious territory and enemy
pitching. Besides making sever
al sensational catches and rifle
throws to cut down the opposi-
ton, he embarked on a week-long
batting splurge that totaled "A
for 8 games. But the old injury
jinx popped up again as Dolby suf-
fered a severe sprain as he twisted
his ankle rounding second.
However, he expects to be ready
for the Tribe opener in Philadel-
phia-a mighty encouraging note
as the Indians embark on this ira
ditionally crucial third trip east.
