TRIPLE PLAY E MADE, p(L GAME;
 BANNERS LOSE
By JIM HUBBART Associated Press Sportswriter)

A triple play isn't much to watch really. It's one of those baseball phenomena which comes perhaps one or twice in season and hap pens so fast you have to take the loudspeakers word for it.
 Take the one at Oakland last night, for instance. The Portland Beavers effected the Pacific Coast Leagues first triple play of the sea- son and used it to wipe out ninth inning Oakland rally and insure Q 9fto l triumph.
 Only it went by so fast that few fans appreciated it. Billy Herman and George Metkovich of Oakland we're on first and second via walks. Then Earl Rapp slammed line drive toward Portland second base man Eddie Basinski.
 sBasinski came up with it. fired the ball to shortstop Joe Polich for two outs and Polich tossed to Mic key Rocco at first to end the ball game. Simple.
 This was just one phase of an ekening which also produced four hit shutout by Red Embree and two hpmers with the bases loaded-au in different ballparks.
 Embree, who came to the San Diego Padres from the St. Louis Browns by way of Cleveland, set the Los Angeles Angels down, to O. without allowing a man to reach second. He personally contributed a run to the San Diego cause, too, with a sixth inning single.
 9The Hollywood Stars once again were shellacking the hapless Seattle Rainiers.
 sIt was Seattle's 18th loss in IA starts. Manager Paul Richards jug gled his batting order and lineup ill wholesale fashion last night, fig uring things couldn't get much worse. They did, though. Hollywood won by 15 to 4 in a performance esnbellished with seven run eighth inning and Frank Kelleher's pinch hit homer with the bases full in the fifth.
 At Sacramento. Les Flemings ninth inning roundtripper with the sacks loaded gave the San Fran cisco Seals an to victory over Sacramento.

HURLER DICKSON
 GET5 REVENGE ON
 CARDINAL OUTFIT
By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sportswriter)

Murray Dickson, pint-sized Pitts burgh pitcher, persists in nursing a grudge.
 Consequently the St. Louis Car dinals may find the road to the 1850 National League championship rocky one.
 Dickson did not exactly jump for joy when he learned a year ago last January that Bob Hannegan, former Cardinal owner, had sold him to the Pirates. Nobody likes to leave a perennial pennant con- tender for a second division club.
 The little righthander showed his resentment the best way he knew. He simply pitched his heart out every time he faced his former mates The result? Dickson defeated the Cards five times in eight tries last year-more than any other pitcher. Murray won only seven against all the other six clubs com- bined.
 The Cards lost the flag to Brook lyn by one game.
 Clips Rcd Birds
 Now comes a new season but the story is the same. Dickson made his first start yesterday. The Cards were the opposition. And as can be guessed, Murry clipped the Red birds wings again, pitching the Pi- rates to an easy 8-4 triumph.
 That was the only game played in the National League. The rest were postponed because of rain and cold weather. Inclement weather also cut the American Leagues ac- tivities to one game In that one, Detroit again nipped the Indians in Cleveland, this time by 5-4.
 Dickson stemmed his former mates with six hits including Stan MusiaIs second home run of the season.
 Ted Gray went the route for the Tigers, limiting the Indians to six hits for Detroits second straight one-run margin victory over Cleve- land.
 Manager Lou Boudreau of the h. dians was hit on the left elbow while batting in the ninth inning and left the game.
 The Tribe, trailing 5-2 in the ninth. made it close when rookie Al Rosen clouted four-bagger with one on.

We'll the past season has been an unusual one from several view points. Spring came fairly early with the breakup less dis agreeable than in many past years. We had some rains in June that started crops out in good shape, which is unusual for up here. We expec ted a lot of rain during Aug ust and September but it failed to arrive. Potatoes were harvested in good shape and most of the hay and grain was undamaged by moisture this fall. More small grains were matured and threshed than any other year in the history of the Matanuska pro- ject.

Tn three weeks from now the employees of the Coop will be engaged in taking semi annual inventory, this is always task for cold figures have a tendancy to be boring. So, if you see some of the clerks with long faces and that tired annoyed look, just remember they are trying to get things in the right column so you can find out what your Coop is doing. The men on the concrete gang are making a lot of progress now. When the first floor was poured in the new cooler all were new to the job, but now they have become sea- soned and are doing good job and making better time.
 Few people realize that the milk and ice cream has to be processed while the new construction is being done in the creamery. A new high has been reached in the co-op- eratlon between the creamery employees and the construction men working on this job.

"AS Alaska goes so goes the Unlon", Stlll holds good, f or in the National elections the trend was about the same as in Alaska i The Republicans made substantial ga ins butt not enough to control either houses of Con4 gress. It will be interesting to see Nflatl the president and congress will do next year as there are so many big problems which will demand action and require a lott of jockeying to accomplish anything with the present division of parties close. One thing is sure no one controls the vot- CTS, but headlines in the newspapers pro- bably influence them a lot.
 Statehood for Alaska seems to be doomed by the turn of events in the elections. It appears that the leaders of the conserva- tive elements of both parties are now in full c ontro1. Hawaii may get statehood asl there is no doubt that the senator's and representatives would be acceptable to the conservatives of both parties, but the possibility that the two senators from Alaska mi ght be too liberal minded, scaresj the big policicans from granting statehood at this time.

AL MINE TURNS OUT HIGH GRADE
 $250 10 LIBRARY

A recalculation of figures on the amount left to be raised for the Ju- neau Memorial Library gave board members @ pleasant surprise today, as D. D. Stewart. acting board chair man, announced the sum has dropped to S2,7l519.
 The big drop was helped yester- day considerably by a contribution yesterday by the Alaska-Juneau Mine. which while defunct for six years, donated S250 to the fund through pr. James c. Ryan, com-' missioner of education and board member.
 J. A. Williams. general manager of what was once the worlds larg- est low-grade gold mine, made the donation in the name of the firm.
 While the company's stock is holding strictly on the low-grade side itself these days, it scared sky high so far as residents of Juneau are concerned, with news of the donation being released.
 But even this generous contribu- tion doesn't account for the tremen- dous difference in the figures be- ing released from day to day by board members. The difference is believed to have come about by sum given by employees of the Alaska Native Service. who an nounced they were going to give s400 to the fund some weeks ago.
 The sum was several weeks en route to Dr. Ryan's office. and then went over the figure estimated, as service employees plunged deep to put the pledge over. It apparently when it arrived-sneaked in a back door in some way, and was placed in the bank without being added up
 At any rate, here's how things stand with the fund as of this morning:
 Cash on hand S42 593.S1
 Due on pledges 2f,6S6.o0
 pa,ance 271519
 This figure puts all hands in merry frame of mind, because both Stewart and pr. Ryan were looking anxiously at that s3,o9O mark and wondering when end how it would be passed.
 But that corner need cause no more worry-and there's only tive more big ones.
