Pirates Hinting
Deal
Is0n|y a Start
New President Takes
Over 8th-PIoce Bucs;
Vows Flag Winner
BY fhs Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, July 20.-The
Pirates began a new era today by
writing a check for approximately
500 900 to acquire Third Baseman
Bob Dillinger from the American
Leagues Athletics.
Dillinger'S purchase came few
hours after Frank Mckinney, In
dianapolis banker, sold his share
of the last-place Pirates to two
partners-John Galbreath, Colum-
bus real estate man, and Tom
Johnson, Pittsburgh attorney.
Galbreath became the principal
stockholder of the Bucs and presi-
dent. He left little doubt that he
will try to build pennant winner.
I'm interested in only one thing,
a winning club in Pittsburgh. To
that end, we will do whatever is
necessary"
May Be More Deals.
Manager Billy Meyer of the
Pirates was elated at Dillinger's
purchase. He said rookie Third
BaSeman Danny O'Connell,
brought up only recently from In
dianapolis OF the American Asso-
citation. might be tried at shortstop.
There may be other deals be-
fore the season Is out. And John
son and Galbreath are determined
to give Pittsburgh a winning ball
club" Pirate spokesman said.
The Dillinger deal had been
pending some time. The Ath-
letics first attempted it with Pitts
burgh when they placed Dillinger
on the waiver list before the June
IS trading deadline. Three Amer
lean League clubs, however, re-
fused to waive the 31-year be-,
spactacled infielder, who has a
lifetime hitting mark of over 900.
All Clubs Waived.
When waivers were asked this
time, all clubs waived and Roy
Hamey was on the spot with his
check book and fountain pen.
Meyer said he will decide today
on the player he will option or.
release to make room for
Dillinger. Speculation centered
around Pitcher Hank Borowy and
Infielders Stan Rojek and George
Strickland.
Dillinger came to Philadelphia
from the st. Louis Browns last
winter, but AS Vice President Roy
Mack said he was "a big disap-
pointment."
Meyer said, however. he feels
Dillinger will be a decided asset
to the Bucs because he'll bolster
our attack and steady our infield."
Dillinger has been hitting
around the $40 mark this year.

Joins
in Lifting
Cards Into Lead
D. c. Area Pitcher
Dumps Braves Out Of
lst Place in National
By jock Hand
Associoted Press Sport, Writer

With Stan Musial on a 23-game
hit spree and Enos Slaughter in
the Big Six, st. Louis is leading
the National League again. The
Cards are baseball's bounce
back" club.
In addition to the Musial-
Slaughter wallop, Red Schoen-
dienst has been hotter than the
weather since his game winning
homer in the All-Star game. Del
Rice's bat is sizzling, too.
Breaking out of a three-way tie
for first place with a resounding
double defeat of the Giants, the
Cards took charge Of the race
yesterday.
The shellshocked Giants, beaten
IL times in their last IS games,
were unable to provide even token
resistance. 1t was 1874 in the
day game and 1913 at night in a
combined 30-hit attack that
routed Larry Jansen and Sheldon
Jones in the early innings.
Three Pitching Gems.
Beaten three in a row by
Brooklyn earlier in the week, the
Cards cause looked dark. Now
they're back in control with three
consecutive pitching gems by the
Southpaw tr rio of AL Brazle, Max
Lanier and Harry Brecheen.
Lanier worked over the Giants
in the day game. When the Cards
piled up a 1871 edge in seven
innings he retired to rest. Bre-
cheen went all the way in the
evening romp.
Musial stretched his hitting
string with a double in the after
noon and two singles at night,
but the big guns yesterday were
Slaughter and Rice. Enos had
six hits. three in each game,
driving home four runs. Rice,
Slaughter, Schoendienst and Ed
die Miller hit homers in the day
game.
The Phillies. one of three tied
for the lead yesterday morning,
dropped a peg by splitting with
Pittsburgh. Granny Hammers
11th-inning homer with a man
on won the opener, 80, but the
Pirates grabbed the second, 4-2,
on Rookie Bill MacDonald's FIVE
hit pitching.
AS usual, Jim Konstanty saw
action in both games to make it
20 relief jobs in the, .Phils' 80
games. He came to the rescue
Of Curt Simmons in the 18th in
ming of the first game, but he
was too late in the second game.
It already had been lost by Russ
Meyer. Macdonald, a three time
winner over the Phils, walked 10
men. but didn't allow a hit after
the fourth.
Klippstein Wins First.
Johnny Klippstein won his first
big league game and hit his first
homer for Chicago in its l1-3 romp
over the Braves. Klippstein, who

Waitress Dies After Plunging Into Channel
BRIDGES CASE HAS COST GOVERNMENT
 OVER TWO MILLION

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20-LR The jury in the Harry Bridges perjury trial was told today by his attorney that ''the government has spent well over two million dollars on it's long, studied, complete, per- sistent persecution of one man for Is years"
 The attorney, Vincent Hallinan, claimed the government had built up "a terrific concentration of gov ernment forces, massed to remove Bridges from the public scene"
 Bridges, president of the CIO longshore union, was indicted on a charge he perjured himself by swearing in his 1945 citizenship hearing that he was not and never had been, Communist.
 Two other longshore union off cials are on trial as co-defendants. They are J. R. Robertson and Henry Schmidt, supporting wit nesses for Bridges in his citizen ship hearing.

NAN GILBERT TAXES LEAP;
 ENDS, DEATH
George Kuhns Makes Heroic Effort 10 Save Wom-
 an in Sunday Tragedy

A plunge into the icy waters of Gastineau Channel yesterday af- ternoon resulted in the death of a 40-year-old Juneau waitress in spite of heroic attempts to save her life.
 Nannette Gilbert, who dived from the Alaska Line wharf clad only in a bathing suit, died at St. Ann's hospital short time after she was pulled from the channel.
 George Kuhns. Alaska Coastal Airlines traffic representative, made valiant attempt to save the woman. Standing at the door of the airlines office, he saw her walking with a determined stride" past the Mckinley Building. He ran after her and was 30 yards away when she dove about 25 feet from the edge of the wharf to the water.
 Kuhns Takes Jump
 Kuhns took off his clothes and. after shouting to man on the wharf to get a rope, jumped from the wharf. The water was so cold "it just about stopped my heart" he said
 He swam from piling to piling, trying to reach the drowning woman who was being carried away by the tide. An unidentified man on the wharf threw two cargo boards into the water in an attempt to aid Kuhns. Finally rope was thrown from the wharf and Kuhns. with numb fingers. tied 1t about the woman.
 She was dragged unconscious from the water by George Jorgen- son, service station owner and city councilman, and Fred Jacobson, contractor. They carried her to the Jorgenson Motors Shop. and. while Jacobson called the police and the fire department, Jorgenson. aided by Carson Lawrence. gave the drowned woman artificial respira- ton.
 Miss Gilbert regained conscious ness and was rushed to St. Ann's hospital. She died shortly after reaching the hospital.
 US. Commissioner Gordon Cray said her death was apparently due to exposure after swimming
 No reason could be found for Miss Gilbert's plunge into the water.
 She was born in San Jose, Calif. and had worked as a waitress at several restaurants in Juneau. She was unmarried, Commissioner Gray said.
 Her mother. Mrs. Jeanette Binns of Flag Ranch, Laramie, Wyo., has been informed of her death.
 No inquest has been scheduled by Commissioner Gray.

COMM MUNIST5 BAN
 AMERICAN EVACUEE SHIPS FROM CHINA

WASHINGTON March 2O.-lR- The State Department said today the Chinese Communists have blocked evacuation of Americans and other foreigners from Shanghai by last minute refusal to let, two landing craft reach the city.
 American representative on the scene have been instructed to press for reconsideration, an announce ment said
 Meantime, the landing craft and the American President Liner Gen. eral Gordon, to which the foreign CTS were to be ferried, have been ordered to remain at Hong Kong.
 A further report comes from J. J. Bergman, Hong Kong manager of the American President Lines.
 Bergman said he had talked with officials in APL's Shanghai branch. He said Red officials had refused entry of two American ves- sells enroute to Japan from Shang- hai The ships were to transport evacuees, including some 300 Am ericans, through Shanghai harbor waters which the Nationalists say they have mined.
 The landing craft-which were to ferry the foreigners from Shanghai to the American President liner General Gordon-have been ordered to remain at sea. The Gordon was instructed to stay at Hong Kong.
