OAKS, SEALS
 LOSE GAMES
 IN pLAY0FF
tBy The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 That hot Coast League race must have taken something out of Oak land and San Francisco.
 Both lost their second straight in the Governors Cup playoffs last night.
 The winning Oaks fell again tsfore Los Angeles, 9-7, and the runner-up Seals were re-bop- red by Seattle, 20.
 Los Angeles did it with homers. Cliff Aberson smacked one with two on, and Dom Dallessandro and Eddie Lukon duplicated, each with one on. The last blow made re- liefer Ralph Buxton the loser Don Carlsen, young righthander, shut out the Oaks for the final four frames to gain the win after re- placing Red Lynn. Eddie Fernandes and Merrill Combs homered off Lynn.
 Seattle's Charley Schan out twirled Willie Werle for the Rainier victory. Werle had trouble with old Bob Johnson, who hit homer and later singled and scored on Tony York's hit. That was all Schanz, in four-hit fettle, needed. Werle gave up six blows.

 MEMBERSHIP DRIvE;;| ELECTION ON OCT. s|

Aiming for an all time high in membership, the Juneau Ski Club has officially launched their mem bersnip drive, which will continue until 8 pm, October 8.
 A bigger and better season is in store this year and enthusiasts who are interested in joining can get a membership blank at the H & Q Sports Center. This membership drive is open to any individual who holds 48-49 membership.
 The grand prize awarded the winner of the membership drive will be years free ride on the Juneau Ski Clubs tow up at the second cabin. Ceremonies surround ing the awarding of this token of merit will take place at the clubs next meeting to be held in Union Hall October 8.
 President Jim Church nominated members Dean Williams, Glen Mil lice, and Leon Alexander, to serve on the nominating committee and to take charge of the election that will take place at the October 8 meeting.
 The highlight of last evening was the showing of the 16mm movies loaned the club from Anchorage. They were taken during the 44-45 season at the Armys Arctic Valley Ski Resort when several of the top skiers in the nation were stationed there with the Army. Most of the pictures were taken under ideal snow conditions and one could very clearly see the technique of sea- soned veterans at play.
