LEGION MOVES UP
 BY 2-1 WIN OVER
 DOUGLAS FIREMEN

Strengthening its hold on the second place league standing berth and making a final effort to over- come a strong lead held by the first place Moose, the Legion last night overcame a one-run margin of the first inning and dumped the Douglas Bremen 2-1 in one of the seasons closest.
 Douglas got off to quick start with their first man up when Man. ming rapped out a single which de- veloped into the Firemens' only run and the lone hit against Mac Donald, the Legion pitcher. The Legion evened the score in the first of the second when Cope stole home for the tying run. It was then case of three up and the same down until the first of the fourth when Cope was walked seccnd time, stole second and third, and then slid home on bad catch to bring in what proved to be the winning run. The last three innings saw only one hit against Morrison, the Douglas hurler and neither team scored.
 From the first inning on. Mac Donald settled down, sent them across the plate in regular order and took the Douglas batters three up and three down in four of the remaining six innings. One Fire man made first when hit by the pitch and another by the third baseman's error, but both died on base, never threatening to make the home mark.
 The Legion was in dangerous scoring position in the fourth with men on third and second and two men down, but Notar was caught reading the latest edition of Sport ing News off second base and was thrown out for the third down. Again in the fifth the Legion was in scoring position with two town and Tyvol and Terrell on the third and second sacks. But once more the Douglas twister settled down to fan Bud Brown for the third out From then on in the Legion failed to make show, with Morrison flaming Tyvol, Terrell and Brown in the last frame.

By BILL BECKER

The Pacific Coast League, perked up by Jack Graham's improved condition and the selection of it's All-Star te ms, steams into another week of hot competition today.
 Oakland. clinging to half-game lead after a near rout at Portland, plays host to Hollywood. The Oaks will try to gain ground at the ex- pense of the sixth place stars while closest rivals San Francisco and Los Angeles tangle in the Angels orchard. Los Angeles has won seven of its nine games and holds a l5-l0 sea- sons edge over the seals.

GIANTS WALL0p
 DODGERS; LIppY
 HAS LAST LAUGH
By JOE REICHLER

Lippy Leo Durocher rode trium- rhantly into the Polo Grounds to- dav in his home debut as man. aoer of the New York Giants with all the pomp and glory of con- quering hero.
 No matter what Durocher does from now on, Giant followers will never forget what he did last night Neither will the Flatbush faithful. In a setting knee-deep in drama, the former pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers returned to his old stamp ing grounds last night and watch ed his Giants club his former hire- lings into almost total submission. The New Workers massacred then ter-borough rivals, l3-4.
 It was sweet revenge for Giant fans who had seen their favorites hunlbled g times in 39 clashes at Ebbets Field over the last four years. =
 In all the Giants collected IT base hits against five Dodger pitcn- CTS. 1H
 Durocher took an unmerciiui booing before the start of the game. Rarely has a manager or player been forced to accept such show CT of verbal abuse. It started the minute he poked his head out of the Giant dugout and lasted until the game got underway.
 Cries of Kill the quitter." ana Send the bum back to New York, :, were hurled at him.
 The partial Dodge crowd of 33,93z' all that could get into the park, didn't know it then, but that was the last chance it had to ]eer Durocher and the Giants. once the game got under way, it was Leo who had the laugh.
 The victory, only the fifth in Is meetings with the Dodgers this years. left the Giants still in fifth place. a half game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates.

IEl5EN DROPPED IN BATTING LIST:
 HOLLOWAY ON TOP
Cope Moves from Third to Fourth in SIuggers'
 Heap-PheIps Up

Ed Nielsen, Ieague-l leading hitter since the first of the season, moved into second place last night in the Legion game with Douglas when he came to the plate three times without making first by a hit. Nielsen famed once, was thrown out at first and popped up to the first baseman for his third out, thereby bringing his average from healthy .490 into a second place .442.
 Red Holloway. regular catcher and manager for the Moose, now has the drivers seat by a narrow two-point margin. Batting .444, the fiery Moose backstop mans the kingpin slot with the security of a Kansas broker when the wheat pit begins to slide.
 The batting order was further shifted when Cope slid from 425 third place booth to AIS and hand ed the ticket to Bud Phelps of the Moose who is currently swatting the pill for .424 mark.
 Dodson of Douglas retains his not too comfortable perch in fifth place, but dropped from .4l4 to 400 by popping up to the Legion second-sacker last night. Taking the downhill grade on we'll waxed skis, Bud Brown came down the hill from an altitude of .4l2 to that of .389 and is now sharing sixth place honors with , Fenster of the Legion and Simmons
 of the Moose. Present standings are as follows:

Sister st. Hilary

This is a unique kind of book,
not difficult to eyaluate, for it
is a little masterpiece which,
unlike most things written In
another language, loses nothing
in it's translation into English.
1t is based on fact; the story
of a shepherd who, three months
after his marriage, takes his
flock up into the mountains to
Craze for the two months period
of warmth and sunshine.
During the night of June %,
the mountain fell, covering the
valley and the town of Derbor
ence with q hundred and fifty
million cubic feet of rock. Seven
weeks later, young Antoine Point
reappeared, a ghost OF his for
mer self, to tell of his living on
bread aud cheese and finally
crawling through tunnel after
tunnel until once more he stood
free in the sunlight.
The author is a Swiss who has
lived all his life among the
mountains he knows so we l..
Seldom has any writer painted
such vivid word-pictures His
language Is restrained and power
fully suggestive in his descrip-
ton of the cataclysm and its
effect upon the surrounding viii
lagos.
The book 10 a welcome change
from the usual type of current
LITERATURE" and deserves to live
as a classic. not only because of
the nature of the story, but for
its simple, exquisite English,
from which many of our modern
American writers might well
