HAMMERS .''' MAKE SIX .-as-as
 BIG PLAYS N
(By the Associated Press)

Seattle's Rainiers may not cut mueh ice in the Pacific Coast League this season, but they've carved themselves nice niche in the PCL rec6rd books.
 Fighting their way up from the deep freeze of the cellar, Paul Rich ards boys clicked off six double plays yesterday-one in the ninth, which was more than any team had ever pulled in nine-inning game on the coast. With such support, Al Gerheauser had little trouble in de feating San Francisco, 9-3.
 The Seals got nine hits, five of them two-baggers. But they were doubled and re-doubled two innings out of every three. Albright-Schus- ter r-Colman, Frey-Schuster- Colman, Frey Christman-C Colman, Albright Christman- Colman CD. and Frey Colman- Albright, did the stunts. Seattle sewed the game up with a five-run blast off Con Dempsey in the eighth.
 The San Hollywood battle for first place evened up as the former won, 2-1, on George Zuve- rink's nifty three-hitter. San Diego thus went three games in front, again.
 Zuverink, rangy highlander posted his fifth win against as many defeats.
 { Frankie Baumholtz, the circuits only 400 batsman, extended his hit ting streak to 29 games with two doubles and a single as Los An lgeles smashed Portland, 6-2. Les Layton and Stan Spence slugged their seventh homers to saddle Bob Drilling with the loss. Bob Nun crief checked the Beavers with four hits and famed eight for his sixth win.
 Back into the basement-look, it's , an escalator went Sacramento. The Solons bowed to a five-run Oak land rally in the 11th, 8-3, with Harry Gumbert the victim, Clyde Shoun the victor Defending cham pion batter Artie Wilson, who is starting to make his move, paced the Oaks with four singles in six tripc s4x : 11E>

Freak Play; Three Men On 3rd Base
(By the Associated Press)

Everything happens in Brooklyn: it's corny but it's true.
 Remember the day three men wound up on third base? The fly balls that bounced off Babe Her mans head? The sparrow that flew out of Casey Stengels hat?
 The 1850 Dodgers last night added the novelty of a three-man race from third base to home plate that wound up an interference double play by the Chicago Cubs. Sound complicated? Well, it is.
 Jackie Robinson was on third base and Gil Hodges on second in the eighth inning. Eddie Miksis hit a ball to third base. That set it up. The third baseman threw to the plate and catcher Jackey Owen chased Robinson back to third.
 When Robinson arrived he found Hodges also standing on the bag. Owen touched both men and the umpire ruled Hodges out.
 Then Miksis headed for second base and Owen threw to Wayne Ter williger. Although he had been ruled out, Hodges started for the plate in a three-man race with Robinson and Owen.
 Down the stretch they came vir- tually shoulder to shoulder. But the finish was not official. An ob- jection was lodged. The relay from Terwilliger was taken, by first base man Phil Cavaretta, protecting home plate. He tagged Robinson out be- cause Hodges interfered.
 The official scoring was a double play-third baseman Bob Ramaz- zotti to Owen to Terwilliger to Cav arretta. Owen got the putout at third and Cavaretta the one at home
 Oh, yes, the score. Brooklyn won, with rookie pitcher Dan Bankhead going the route for the first time. It was the Negro righthanders fourth straight victory, breaking a five-game win streak by the Cubs Bob Rush. Duke Snider, George Shuba and Roy Campanella smashed homers off Rush.
 Andy Pafko ruined Bankheads shutout with homer.
 Those Philadelphia Phils stuck right on the Dodgers heels by blasting six runs in the eighth in- ming for a 6-3 edge over Pittsburgh. Dick Sisler's three-run homer off Murry Dickson started the big up- rising.
 Rookie sCloyd Boyer pitched fine relief ball for the St. Louis Cardi- nals who beat New York 20
 Warren Spahn turned in his best effort of the season, a three-hitter for Boston against Cincinnati. Al. The Braves got to Ewell Blackwell for six hits and all four runs be- fore he gave way to Frank Smith.
 Rain washed out the "big game in the American, the first of the New York Yankee-Detroit Tigers series, but the Boston Red SoX clung to an early lead to down the St. Louis Browns, 7-5, for Mel Parnells' fifth victory. Two triples by Al Zarilla and doubles by Walt Dropo, Billy Goodman and Ted Williams led the 10-hit attack.
 Gene Bearden, the 1948 World Series hero but flop ever since, bounced back with fine relief job for Cleveland against Washington. Replacing Early Wynn in the sec ond, Bearden allowed only four hits in 2 l /3 innings for 5-4 decision over Joe Haynes.
 The Chicago White Sox came from behind to topple Philadelphia, 1O-7, with five runs in the eighth.

ALASKA AIRLINE PILOT CLEARED OF
 ONE CA CHARGE

SEATTLE, May 5-tR-A Federal Court jury cleared an Alaska Air lines pilot of carelessness last night, but convicted him of trying an in- strument landing at Boeing Field with too low a ceiling in 1947.
 The pilot was James E. Farris. After his landing attempt at Boeing failed, he continued to the Seattle Tacoma Airport, where the plane crashed and burned with a loss of nine lives.
 For attempting the Boeing land ing with a ceiling lower than that prescribed by Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration regulations, Farris was fined $1O0. The government had asked he be fined $1,000.
 Farris denied both the govern ment's charges, brought by the CAA. He maintained he did his best to make safe landing, des- pite excessive engine "roughness, , poor visibility and defective brakes.
 Government attorneys also char ged Farris landed at excessive speed and more than halfway down the runway. Defense attorneys de- clared other engine roughness and hydraulic brake failure, hampered operations.

that has a belated, but happy ending. It's about a woman who wanted a pair of gloves for Christmas, and she needed them pretty badly, too. She dropped hints all over the place, quite definite ones to four different persons, family snd friends.
 But they all remembered what happened to her two years ago when she indicated she wanted a new set of dishes, and Christmas brought her three sets, more than she had room for. So not one of them tied up a pair of gloves far her, each thinking no doubt that the other would.
 The first of this week, whel & hands were about to freeze, and her temper give out, her son gave in, and bought her a colorful pair of nitts.
 Kodiak is mentioned in the Sports of the Times column of the New York Times, dated Jan. 1, in which Arthur Daley, the columnist, forecasts some sshimsical sports events for 1850. All through the column, he has a bit of fun with the exhibition tennis matches be- ing played these days, through out the country, by Jack Kramer and Rancho Gonzales. In September, Daley predicts, Kramer wins No. 157 from Gonzales in Kodiak, Alaska. " k Kodiak probably seems as remote to Daley as Vladivostok and Johannesburg, South Africa, which he also men, tons as scenes of the tourna- nnents.
 Another columnist has writ ten something rather humorous about Kodiak, but through er- TOT, not jest. Louella Parsons, Hollywood scribe, wrote in a recent column that Bob Hope stepped out of the plane Christmas morning in Kodiak where the temperature was AZ below zero. :" Louella meant Fairbanks, apparently, but she has aroused the ire of an old timer in Seattle, who points out that the lowest tempera- ture recorded here was 20 be- low.

your rats before harvesting your

your rats before harvesting your
corn.
Corn being stored should also
be treated for weevils. Before
harvesting your corn your cribs
should be sealed on the inside at
least up to the level of the top of
your corn in the crib. After put
ting your corn in the crib sprinkle
hi-life over the top of your corn
at the rate of l gallon to each 200
bushels of corn. Cover with old
sacks or tarpaulin or old quilts,
seal your door and allow your crib
to remain sealed for possibly ten
days. The fumes from the hi-life
is heavier than air and will go
down through the corn and kill
practically all weevils. Be very
careful not to 60 around your crib
after treating with hi-ife with
lighted cigarettes or lanterns Of
any kind for hi-life is very ex-
plosive. Weevils eat at least SO
per cent of your corn stored where
not treated if it is kept in stor-
age for a period Of six months.
So it is necessary that you protect
your corn that you are going to
keep in storage at least until
spring.
