win OVER
BEAVERS
(By Associated Press

The big inning is as potent in
the Pacific Coast League as any
where.
Seattle saved its power for six
run outburst in the seventh inning
to vanquish Portland, 7-3, last night.
San Diego, employing the strata
gem twice, tailed four in the sixth,
then four more in the last OF the
ninth to defeat Sacramento 8-4.
otherwise, the Pei front was less
explosive. San Francisco beat Holly
wood. 40, on Chef Johnsons neat
five-hitter. Oakland maintained its
steady siege-gunning of Los Angeles,
running up an lis victory without
any splurge larger than three in an
inning.
Seattle broke loose to give Jim
Wilson his 23rd win after being
held to two hits in six innings by
Bob Drilling. The Portland rookie
came apart, however, as the Rain
iers banged out five hits and jim
my. Glacid committed costly err
ror in the fatal seventh. Al
Wilson himself capped the rally
with a two-run homer. Big Jim
famed 10 batters and finished
stong after the Beavers touched him
for all their runs in the fifth.

The surprising finish came as the

great scrap SO far. Referee Ruby
Goldstein waved off the onrushing
Saddler and announcer Johnny
Addie told the puzzled throng that
Pep had dislocated his left shoulder
and could not continue. According
to New York rules it was listed as
an eight-round knockout.
Pep claimed the dislocation was
caused by Saddler's wrestling tact

Eddie Sawyer and his Philadelphia
Whiz Kids are looking forward to-
day to smoother sailing.
The youthful pennant seekers
have had quite scare the past
few days but thanks to a couple
of old hands, Russ Meyer and Ed

give the Phils 4-3 victory over the
runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers last
night in the finale of a four-game
series. Brooklyn won the first three
games.
Never restricted the Dodgers to
six hits and led all the way. HIS
worst moment came in the eighth
inning when Duke Snider smacked
a two-run homer to cut the Pills
lead to one run. But Meyer bore
down and retired the last four bat
tiers in succession. The victory was
Meyers eighth compared to IL losses
and his third over Brooklyn.
Watkins, the 30-year-old first
baseman, slammed out two singles
and a double, drove in two runs
and sparkled afield.
Giants Turned Back
The Braves, seven games behlnd,
turned back the fourth-place New
York Giants, 4-3, on a three run
homer by Tommy Holmes in the
seventh inning. Warren SPAIN went
the distance to gain his 18th victory.

ly famous violinist, in joint re-
cital with Maxim Shapiro, plan

askans. Under the joint man.
agement of our local Concert
Association and Maxim Shapiro,
this concert series will bring to
our city for the first time world
famous artists with superb abili-
ty and we'll merited concert
successes for their background.
Roman Totenberg was born
in Poland and at an early age
began his concert career, play
ing in European cities, Scandin-
avia, South America and then
the United States, where he is
now a naturalized citizen. The
famous George Enesco was his
teacher and today's great pianist,
Artur Rubinstein, introduced
the artist to South American
cities.

great composers. He has by gift,

tinuing line. and to hold by
sheer musical communication, al
most any musical persons in
terest." Virgil Thomson in
THE Art of Judging Music"
Maxim Shapiro completes this
brilliant duo. His great gift as
a pianist is common knowledge
in Alaska where he has played
so successfully for three seasons.
More than this, he has felt the
warm recognition for his music
coupled with the friendliness
and desire of many Alaskans
to experience only the best in
real musical programs. Using
his wide understanding of artists
and their work, putting aside
his own affairs, his great ambi-
ton to serve Alaska has created
the Alaska Music Trail with the
encouragement and support of
leading men and women in ten
communities.
The concert will be heard in
the Seward Methodist Church,

'SeWard Nav
Escape Polio"
Say Officials

Public health officials here
are beginning to feel that this
city may be fortunate enough
to escape any occurrence of
polio in Seward.
The end of the tourist season
with decreased travel from the
interior and the stopping of pas
senger service by Alaska Steam
ship Co. both eliminate much
contact with infected areas.
Nurses of the Seward Regis
tered Nurses Association in Sew
ard have volunteered for serv-
ice if needed land both schools,
Jesse Lee and city schools, are
being closely watched by the
Public Health Nurse, teachers
and physicians.
It was rumored in town that
two light cases had been dis
covered here, but the rumor is
false. According to Mrs. LaPreal
Bic, Public Health Nurse, both
DR.. Shelton and DR.. Sellers have
denied that there is any polio
here.

H~omes+eoders Now
Con Get Loans

Delegate f. L. Bartlett reports
that under terms of a law enact
ed during the first session of the
81st Congress homesteaders in
Alaska and elsewhere for the
first time in history were permit
ted to obtain homestead inn
provement loans under the
Bankhead Jones T e a t Act.
Such loans for some time have
been available to farmers but
loans to homesteaders were
never allowed because OF lack
of security against the loans.
The act passed last year PROVIDES
security from homestead entry
men on mortgage contracts Gre
ating liens against land prior
TO the time the entryman obtains
title. :--
In urging an increase above
the 500, 900 allotted for home
stead loans in the Territory dur
ing the 1851 fiscal year, Delegate
Bartlett stated to Secretary
Brannan:
without a question the loan
program would be OF great AID
to the settlement and develop
ment of Alaska if sufficient
funds were allotted to that pro-
gram for Alaska operation. The
need for a comprehensive and
intelligent loan program Of this
kind to encourage and assist
homesteaders to make their way
in Alaska and thus contribute
to the economic well-being OF
the Territory vas recognized by
Congress in enacting Public Law
361. Congress took the initial
step toward inaugurating a sensl-
BILE program to include Alaska.
But that program should not
be handicapped by such a low
| allotment as reflected in the
1851 fiscal year apportionment
made by the Farmers Home Adj
ministration.
"There are vast areas in Alas
ka ideally suited to farming
provided the prospective home
steaders can be assisted through
loans to clear that rich potential
farming land. A permanent
settlement of Alaska by thou
sands of persons who have gone
there from the States and VINO
plan to go there is largely de.
PENDENT on a stable agricultural
development program. Until re-
cent years development OF Alas
ka has been deferred through
disinterest and negligence on the
part of the federal government.
That situation has immeasurabiy
improved but not in all phases
of federal participation. Ihere
is no better time than right now
