FLAG RACE
IS HOTTER In
AMER. LEAC.
(By the Associated Press

The American League had brand
new race going today with a bunch
of fast-aging players.
New York, Boston and Detroit
were only half game apart with
only II days to go in the tense battle
for World Series loot.
The pace-setting Yanks fell within
whisper of the runners-up last
night by losing to Chicago 4-3.
Detroit belted out Philadelphia,
1874, in day game and Boston
was rained out in Cleveland to set
up the tie for second place.
SO here's the way the three teams
stood going into today's three
fronted action:

Seen IN ALASKAN
WATERS BY WINTERS

The first school of mackerel in
Alaskan waters was seen last Friday
night by Olaf Winthers while fish
ing IL miles of Cape Cross. The
mackerel averaging eight to 10
inches in length were attracted to
the WHITTIER fishing boat Fremont
by lights used in the night opera

"Ive been fishing in these waters
for 33 years and this is the first
time I've seen anything like it,

facing only 81 men. A double play
and a rundown erased the hitters.
Brooklyn powered its way to vic
tory with homers. Gil Hodges and
Duke Snider each hit a pair in the
opener to overshadow Ralph Kiner's
two homers mos. "A and 45).

To the Public

was very much interested and surprised to read
in the Daily Alaska Empire under date of Sept. 14th
1850, regarding the Postal Authorities thru the Civil
Aeronautcs Board allowing the Alaska Coastal Air
lines to receive lump sum payment of $30OOO.OO
and 600 increase in the future for mail carrying to
Sitka, Alaska, and Way Ports over and above the
revenue so far received. My inquiry to the Post
Master at Juneau rewarded by the statement that
she did not have any official notice of the allowance
above stated.
My surprise, | am sure, will be shared by resi-
dents of all the communities along this specified route
which for the past fifty years served by surface
transportation at the total cost to the Postal Depart
ment of approximately $15,0O0OO per year; and in
addition theerto the freight was delivered in any
amount offered at classified rate from $500 to
$1,000 per ton instead of dabs and packages at the
rate of $4,000 per ton.
| am that it would be interesting to all con-
cerned to know what the entire cost is to replace this
service that was previously done by boat In addition
to the paid to the Alaska Coastal Airnes car
ryng MAIL it would be interesting to know the amount
of Tax Payers Money expended in building and main
tanning Cat expense to the Air Lnes) the many
floats and landing facilities served by the mail de-
liveries which also used exclusively by the Air
Lines for commercial purposes Nothing of that sort
was provided expected anticipated in the boat
service besides the boat in the past and expect to in
the future pay the usual dockage fees at the various
communities including the starting point, Juneau, AL
aska In this connection the Capital City of Juneau,
therefore does not have any connection for mail service
by surface transportation on TINS ola established
route.
About one year ago the Island Transportation
Co. of Juneau, Alaska, submitted bid to the Postal
Department to carry the mail and serve these
communities, Bondsmen furnished and qualified and
as vet we have not been officially notified way
the other or in other words the bid has not been
accepted or rejected atho the deadne supposedly
July 1st 1850 At least one should expect under
Democratic Rule the release of the bondsmen instead
of keeping them tied up while other concerns are
doing the business for which our bondsmen have
furnished the guarantee.

Eesides losing a game they almost
had won, the Yanks temporarily
lost the services of Vic Raschi, their
20-game ace. The crack highlander,
who pitched an inning Of relief last
Sunday to save game against the
Browns, was riding 80 lead for
81 innings when he complained
his arm didn't feel right"
Tom Ferrick, a demon rescue

clutch again. Chico Carrasquel
nicked him for a single and Gus
Niarhos, the former Yank, doubled
him to third With two out Nelson
Fox blasted a triple to center to
drive in the tying and winning runs.
The Yanks had gone ahead 80 on
Joe DiMaggio's 31st homer and Yogi
Berra's oath four-bagger, the lat
ter's a two-run blow. Chicago south
paw Bob Cain yielded only four hits.
Detroit Lineup Changed
In Detroit where Red Rolfe re-
shuffled his lineup, the Tigers
spirits scared. Hoping to get more
attack in his lineup, Rolfe sent in
Charlie Keller, Pat Mullin and Dick
Kryhoski to replace Vic Wertz, Hoot
Evers and Don Holloway. The
change worked.
Keller, the ex-Yankee, answered
5he bell like an old firehorse, pow
ering two homers, two singles and
driving in five runs. Mullin blasted
out a homer and double.

Tommy Holmes single with two

Boston against St. Louis.

Gen. Craig said that his investi-
gators had been unable to deter
mine whether there had ever been
any formal reports on the alleged
incident which was reported to
the House Civil Service group by
another worker there.
No Evidence on Check Story.
Gen. Craig also read a state
ment by Brig. Gen. E. j. Bean,
commander of the center, stating
that he had never been able to
find any evidence relative to the
alleged attempt of the worker to
leave with the checks. He also
said he did not intend to convey
to a GAO investigator that he
would withhold evidence from
House investigators as reported
earlier by the agency official.
The clerk, who is alleged to
have attempted to leave with the
checks, returned to the building
before reaching the gate. When
she left the structure for a Sec
ond time, she was searched and
no checks were found, Gen. Craig
said.
The incident is supposed to have
occurred some 28 months ago and
was one among 112 alleged irreg-

ploye, Mrs. Sally Dewey. These
charges include bad security risks
and the existence of Communist
