1S H0MERS BELTED IN
 TWO DAYS
By JOE REICHLER

About the only thing missing in yesterdays and Mondays Major League opening games was a mo- hitter.
 Practically everything else hap pened, to the delight of 33l, ,783 fans who set record for opening day attendance.
 As for the results themselves, Brooklyn sneaked past the Giants 7-6 in New York; the Cards shut out Cincinnati 40 in St. Louis. Washington gained revenge for it's one-sided defeat by the Yankees Monday, thrashing the world cham pions 9-1; Detroit defeated the White sox in Chicago 5-2 and the Indians sent a record inaugural crowd of 73,163 home happy with a 40 triumph over the St Louis Browns.
 Tn other games, the Philadelphia Phillies had a successful home open CT as they whipped the Boston Braves S-1, and Pittsburgh did like wise with a 3-2 win over the Chica- go Cubs The Red Sox and Phila- delphia Athletics were idle.
 Here are some of the opening day hirhliThts
 Eighteen home runs were belted yesterday and Monday-rot an un- usual number, but look what some of them produced:
 Stan Spence, Vern Stephens and Bobby Doer hit in succession in one inning-a record-tying feat-but the Red Sox lost anyway.
 George Vico, rookie first baseman of the Tigers, formerly of Portland, snlacked one on the first pitch serv- ed him in his first Major League game.
 Tommy Mcbride of the Senators slammed one-with the bases loaded in the first inning.
 Mike Fresh of the White Sox hit one-llis first in 787 games. He had not hit a four bagger since 1940. Pre- viously he had hit only cne home run in 10 years in the Majors.

HAWAII SKIING X GOOD, BUT BEACHES
 CHIEF ATTRACTION

HILO, Hawaii--It's only Is miles as the mynah bird flies from Ha- waii's well-publicized surf to it's lit tle-known snow.
 But no mynah bird--and few Ha- waiians-- would be caught in the domain of winter atop towering Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa vol canoes.
 In the land of perpetual summer, where maidens hula and guitars wall and swimmers surf in tropical comfort the year round, few pause to realize that winter is only good ski jump away.
 At times the snow line descends almost halfway down the slopes of these two l3,000 foot titans. A few hardy souls 1entilre into SHOW coun- tiy with skis.
 They are more enthusiastic than expert. Hawaii's warm sun usually turns snow mushy by noon. But what skiing there is, is good. Msuna Kea particularly is adapted to all types. Its varied lava structures and cinde. cones provide everything from the slow slope to the express incline.
 A few years ago the national park service took a group of mainlanders into the snow. One visitor was so enthusiastic he predicted Hawaii would become the pan-Pacific ski ing center, complete with Swiss cha let, lifts. ski planes and ski beats to transport daily crowds to this winter wonderland in the south seas.
 Tourists, he said. would pack skis as naturally as swim suits when coming to Hawaii.

FOG HORN CLANCY
 lS BIG N0ISE AT
 ANY R0DE0 SHOW


 TULSA, Okla.-Fog Horn Clancy has gained a degree of fame by shooting off his mouth.
 Sincs the turn of the century, he's been announcing, judging and re- cording rodeos all over the land. He goes back to the days when there were no public address systems and no self-respecting, full-lunged an- rounoer would he caught with a msgaphone.
 Fog Horn acquired his name when his own voice had to dominate the other noises at New Works Madison Square Garden, Cheyenne. Pendle- lon, Dewey, Hutchison and other big rodeos.
 His biggest crowd addressed by voice, he says, was 86,0O0 at Sheeps- head Bay, N. Y. Another time he had to make himself heard by 30,o0o scattered around half a mile track at Dewey, Okla.
 Tt was simple" says Clancy T made a careful study of what makes sound travel Then I just take big breath and let 'er go."
 Here to help judge and keep sta- tistics on a Livestock Exposition and Rodeo, Fog Horn at 65 is quieter now. The voice that once rattled windows is subdued since he learned it was rough on loud speaker tubes.
 His announcing is only part-time, most of it on little known bits of rodeo history, so that the press and spectators may have better un- derstanding of what's happening.
 Like, for instance" he recalls, "the fact bulldogging was invented by Texas cowhand named Bill Pickett, back in 1903. He would leap from his horse, grab a steer by the horns. then bite it on the lower lip-just like a hulldog-and hang on til the critter toppled'
 Clancy-his real name is Fred erick Melton but he doesn't even sign checks that way any more has turned literary in recent years.
 He shyly acknowledges he wrote an encyclopedia history of rodeos. He is also founder of the Rodeo Fans of America and is its corral foreman" equivalent of president. He publishes the annual "rodeo his tory and records" reference book.
 Folks may not realize it" he rumbles, but the rodeo is the sec ond biggest sport in America today. It draws more people than any other event in Madison Square Garden" :"
 Clancy, a native of Phoenix, Ala, came west early in his life. He has keen identified with the area ever since, although he now calls home 3 ranch in southern New York state.

COURT TEST CASE ON COMP pENSATI0N ACT UP AT ANCHORAGE

Scheduled for hearing this week at Anchorage is a suit concerning the territorial unemployment trust fund-an action that affects every working man in Alaska according to the plaintiff.
 The suit, brought in the name of Felton Griffin, past president of the Alaska Territorial Federation of La bor, seeks to invalidate the experi- .ence rating clause of the Unemploy- ment Compensation Act. Defendant is R. E. Sheldon, executive director of the Unemployment Compensation Commission.
 Employed by lator to press the case is the Anchorage law firm of McCutcheon and Nesbett.
 The territory was to be represen- ted by Attorney General Ralph Riv- CTS Since he is in Washington on business, a local attorney is expect ed to take over.
 On the same side of the fence as the territory are lawyers H. L.. Faulkner of Juneau and E. F. Med ley of Seattle Faulkner has been granted leave to intervene in the case on behalf of nine Alaskan em- ployers. They include Western Fisheries of Cordova, Juneau Lum- Der, Ketchikan Spruce, Alaska Laun- dry, Joe Coble of Fairbanks, Wells Alaska Motor Co.,, United States Smelling Co.,, Healey River Coal Co.,, and the Pioneer Cab Co.,, of Fair banks.
 McCutcheon and Nesbett have subpeonaed Acting Gov. Lew Will liams to appear with territorial rec ords in the hearing before Judge Anthony J. Dimond.
 They contend that the experience rating system was "irregularlyY pas sed during the final days of the 1947 legislative session.
 The 1887 legislature passed the Unemployment Compensation Act which set up an unemployment trust fund to take care of Alaskan workers during depression sort of provision for the 'lean years" during the fiat years.
 Into the fund up until the time the suit was filed late last summer went close to $10,o00, 900. According to Shelton's figures, the fund now stands at atout $l0,8C0,000.
 After July l, 1947, the experience rating system went into effect. Un- der its provisions, employers who "qualified"-that is. wl.o maintained a steady level of employment could be given ratings" which ex- empted them from future payments.
 A so-called cutoff period was provided, however. By this is meant, the commis ssioners can decide whether an employer can be "cut- eff" from exemption provisions, and compelled to put money into the fund again.
 Even with the experience rating system in effect since last July, de- fendants of the measure point out that the kitty" has increased. This is so, they claim, because many em- ployers don't qualify fer exemption. and others deliberately do not take advantage of the exemption.
 The AFvTL, however, maintains that it's a matter of simple arith- metic to see that a depression would deplete the fund in short order. Hence, they want the rating system outlawed and the employers com pelled to continue payments all the time with no exemption clauses.
 Paid into the fund is three per cent of a payroll Actually, 2.7 per cent goes to the territory for the fund. and 3 per cent goes to the Federal government.

As the next man began to bat Leo leaped from his seat, yelling, and raced out to the cage to give few words of instruction and then paus- ed to yell at no one in particular: Come on, let's go." Then he was lack on the bench talking about Preston Ward, who started the sea- son at first tase: That's Ward. I think he's got it..

ST. LOUIS, July 31.-In series
of sixth-inning explosions here to-
night two Washington pitchers blew
up, Manager Joe Kuhel was waited
from the game on heave by Um-
pire Cal Hubbard and the st. Louis
Browns blasted across seven runs
enroute to a 1913 victory over the
Mats.
Kuhel, elected from game for
the second time in two weeks, was
i'm violent disagreement with Hub
bard, who called the Browns AL
Zarilla safe at the plate on a close
play. Catcher Jake Early first ex-
pressed considerable annoyance at
Hubbard's decision and when Kuhel
prolonged the debate he was
thumbed from the premises.
The Browns outburst was at the
expense of Walter Masterson and
Forrest Thompson. who were shelled
for six of st. Louis IA hits in that
inning as the Browns grabbed a
1912 lead.
Washington bounced back with
four runs in the seventh, sliced
the Browns advantage to 10-7 in
the eighth when Mickey Vernon
contributed his second homer OF
the season and had the potential
tying run at the plate in ninth
inning rally which died after one
run had scored.
Masterson was nicked for 10 hits
before the Browns battered him from
the mound. Rookie Ralph Schwamt
was the winner although the Mats
got rid of him in the seventh.
The Mats fashioned 20 lead in
the first when Gil Coan singled
across AL Kozar and Sherry Robert
son, who had singled successfully
and advanced on Rightfielder Dick
Kokos' error.
The Browns locked the score in
the third. Bob Dillinger doubled
and AL Zarilla was hit by a pitch.
They worked a double steal before
Jerry Priddy walked to fill the bases
and Hank ARTS long fly to Ed
