TWIN GAMES
 SUNDAY ARE
 SPLIT ONES
Doub|eheaders on Sunday Are Even Breaks, Ex-
 lept Seals, Beavers
By the Associated Press)

Split doubleheaders were the Sabbath menu throughout the Pa cific Coast league.
 That is except for San Fran cisco, which had a twin-beating served up by Portland to give the Beavers an unquestionatle hold on sixth place in the standings.
 Max West came through with a choice tidbit for San Diego, his fifth homer of season with two aboard. This was the margin of a 6 to win for the Padres over the loop-leading Hollywood Stars in the second game of the day.
 In the opener Hollywood's Cor don Maltzberger kept San Diego well in check and the Stars turned in well-done l2 to victory. Herb German and Irv Noren batted in five runs apiece for Hollywood as the Stars won the lopsided affair.
 Booker T. tCannonbalD McDan- iels, Los Angeles Negro newcomer, forked up his third twirling vic- tory in as many times on the mound as the Angels edged Seattle 2 to 5 in the first tilt. The Rainiers captured the nightcap 6 to 3 but Los Angeles, in the league cellar, won the series four games to three.
 Oakland won a seven-inning opener to and Sacramento took the regulation nightcap to 0. The second game win was Frankie Das- sos 18th victory of the year against four losses.
 Portland took the San Francisco seals to and to 0. Portland's Hal Saltzman hurled neat two-hit ball in the nightcap for his ninth win of the season. Red Lynn pitch ing in relief for George Diehl, was credited with the Portland win ir the opener.

Bears Win ByLength
 Over Wash.
Huskies, However, Take Both Frosh, Junior
 Varsity Races

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY, June 27 --lR-Any lingering doubts that California does not have the best crew in the country had teen dis pelled today--a result of it's smartly executed victory in the Poughkeep- sic Regatta.
 Until Saturdays race, some op- posing coaches were undecided whether California or Washington should hold the top spot. Now, at least for another year, the picture has been cleared.
 It was Al Ulbrickson, Washington coach, who said before the three mile Hudson river grind, that the shell that could show strength in the last mile would be the one to win. His prediction came true, but he had an idea the order of finish in Saturdays race would be diff ferent
 Ulbrickson really thought he had the fastest finishing eight on the river. That's how he had been training his boys. When the Huskies whipped into the lead at the start, it looked as though they would take the classic for the sec- ond straight year.
 But Ky Eorights confident Olympic champions of California had other ideas. They permitted Washington to open up daylight in the first two miles, but then raising their beat steadily until it hit 37. they pulled away in the final lap to win by about toat length.
 Strung out behind the two lead- CTS were, in order: Cornell, Navy, Princeton. Penn. Wisconsin, Colum- bia, Syracuse, Stanford, MT, and Rutgers.
 Washington was not to be denied part of the glory, though. The Huskies won both the frosh and junior varsity events, the former at two miles and the latter at three. The winning California var sity clocking was 14.426, while the Washington Jayvees were caught in an even 16:O0. Washington's yearl- ings did the two miles in 9:40.2. Bad weather delayed the varsity race for over an hour and the river was choppy.

RESIGNATION OF JOE WERNER A5
 BASEBALL LEAGUE pRExY GIVEN
 ANOTHER INSIGHT BY V. kAETCALFE

Editor. Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir:
 In last Fridays edition you car ried a letter from Joe Werner an- nouncing that he was resigning as President of the Gastineau Chan mel Baseball League. Players and fans alike were surprised by Joes action, yet I believe that sy his resignation he has called attention to things that were wrong that otherwise would not have gotten across to the public It's a shame Shat man of Werner's capabili- ties cannot be kept at the job, but a man in business for himself just can't spare that much time. In addition to the time element, a league President must have darn tough hide as he is the target tor abuse from players and fans alike. He also has to bargain with the Fire Department to keep the field in shape.
 Werner gave it all he had ana no more can be asked of any man. 1 believe, as player, that most of his troubles can be laid at the door of the department of umpir- ing. For the most part the jumping hasn't been too cad, all things con- sidered. The only trouble has been that in most cases Joe had to beg them to do the job. Umpiring is a thankless task in Juneau. The Fans abuse you, the players cuss you, and you're likely to get hit by a foul ball or a scatter armed in- fielder. AS player, I'll argue as much or perhaps more than the next guy, but it is my thought that it wouldn't be baseball if you didn't. However, I don't condone profanity directed at His Umps" or kicking dirt on him, or showing him, and several other practices I've seen in four seasons playing in this league. It is my considered opinion that the umpires should be paid goodly sum to do the job and te presented with copy ot the l949 rule book. One of the best ball and strike men in the league hasn't umped this season because he is a business man and believes that he may hurt his business by doing it. And some of the players and fans are just hard hearted enough to do that little thing. As for fan support it certainly could be better. I believe that we are playing better ball this year than any time since the war. The scores have been close, the pitch ing terrific, the fielding has i'm proved and in most cases so has the thinking of the players. There have heen fewer mental errors rhIs year than ever before. know that 1 feel like really hustling wher there is an appreciative and size able crowd in the stands. After 2
 player has worked all day ht doesn't always feel like giving it tht
 olo college try but crowd give:
 you a big boost and you often play over your head. As one player onct put it, After all, va know, we jus
 play for the cheers AS one O.

Police officials whose job it is
to guard the Houses of Commons

reluctant to talk. One Of them,
however. did let drop that police
had received a phone call last
night from a man with q mocking
voice, who said:
There's a policeman's helmet
on the spire OF Central Hal
Tower"
They didn't believe him. They
did this morning, though.
|. The Ministry Of Supply promised
to supply q steeplejack as soon a:
the frost dried off the tower. Ar
old-time member Of the House OF
Commons staff said the spire was
last climbed AZ years ago.
Some London newspapers noted
that London medical students had
