STARS WIN
CLOSE One,
SCORE 10
Rainiers Drop Game 10
ACorns-SeattIe Baseman
Is Hit by Pitched Ball
(By the Associated Press)

Hollywood, which has lost more
than it's share of close ones in the
Pacific Coast League this year, is
beginning to believe the law of av-
erages hasn't been repealed, after
ALL
The Stars won their second close
one in row, 10, (and what could
be closer?) from Portland last night
Jack Salveson made it two shutouts
in succession, following Pinky
Woods 20 win Tuesday.
Hollywood however, failed to gain
ground as front-running Oakland
whacked Seattle, 1915, to maintain
their comfortable 9l2 game margin
over the Stars. Elsewhere, San Diego
edged Los Angeles, 80, in 10 in
nings, and Sacramento made it. two
straight over San Francisco, IL.
Nobody knew it at the time, OF
course, but the Stars Beavers game
could have been called after the
first Hollywood batter, shortstor
Buddy Hicks, raped Red Lynn
first pitch over the right field fence
Lynn was superb after that giving
up only four more hits and tanning
five.
But Salveson, chalking up his 18th
win against three defeats, was even
sharper. He spaced five singles,
three by Joe Brovia, and walked
none. 1t was revenge for Salveson
whose earlier 10-game win streak
was snapped recently by Lynn's
three-hitter.
Harry Gumbert, the old major
Lacquer, turned in one of his best
Pei performances for the Sacs with
a five hitter against San Francisco.
Dino Restelli's first inning homer
was the only Seal run.
Max Vests fly scored Orestes
Minoso in the 10th to give San
Diego the nod over Los Angeles. Hal
Saltzman went the distance for the
win. Pete Mallory drew the loss
after relieving Bob Muncrief in the
ninth.
Oakland spotted Seattle lead on
homers by Bill Salkeld Frank Col
man and Jack Warren, then roared
back with 12-hit barrage that in
cluded circuit drives by Ray Noble
and Bob Holman. Reliever Lou
Tost was the winner.
Seattle second baseman TODD
Davis was hit by a pitch from Al
Gettel, but preliminary X-rays
showed no conclusion. He remained
overnight in Berkeley hospital.

In Memory

On the 7th day of October the
Death Angel entered the home OF
Lloyd Niles and carried the wife
and mother out of her pains and
suffering to a happier land. Al
though she had been sick a long
time she didn't give up hopes OF
getting well and it hurt her family
to stand by and know she had to
60. She had lived in hopes OF see
ing her first grandchild but all
in vain as she had passed into a
coma when he was born, but weep
not for her as she will see all on
that Resurrection morn and there
will be no parting or tears to be
shed. All had been done on this
earth to stay her life but it was
Gods will that she had to go.
She leaves behind to mourn her
death her husband, one son, one
daughter, one grandson, one step
daughter, her mother, six sisters,
and a host of relatives and friends
She was laid to rest in the Odd
Fellows Cemetery, Rev. Lonnle
Johnston officiating, amidst beau
tiful flowers as a token of love
from loved ones and friends.
A precious one from US is gone
a voice we loved is still, a vacant
place is in .our home that never
can be filled.

Endorses TB Drive

DR.. Felix j. Underwood, execu-
tive officer of the State Board of
Health, today issued a strong en-
dorsement of the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal campaign. He
said:
THE tuberculosis Association,
financed entirely by Christmas
Seal contributions, is rendering an
Invaluable service to the cause
of public health. Their contribu-
tons of x-ray apparatus and
films, motion pictures on health
subjects, printed educational ma
terial, and programs Of research
and rehabilitation, are aids that
the official health departments
cannot do without.
Because Mississippi needs every
possible help in its health pro-
grams, and especially in the fight
against tuberculosis, / hope every
citizen who can do so will buy
and use Christmas Seals liberal
ly."
