Double Plays
LANCASTER HERE
"Wednesday, May 81

Running their string of victories
to five straight without loss, Dutch
Dorman's Braves took the measure
of Lancaster on Wednesday night in
the first of three-game series, by
a score of to 2. Joe Reardon went
all the way for Hagerstown and
Danny Long was his catcher. Bob
LudWick, a left-hander (the losing
pitcher), started for Lancaster but
was knocked out in the Braves big
seventh inning and Gilbert, a right
handler, relieved him. Bob Bare
ford did the catching.
Charlie Heinbaugh unfortunately
was taken sick with the grippe right
after the game in Harrisburg on
Tuesday night and was unable to
play, so the utility infelder, Harold
Freund, took over the second base
chores, and due to the fact that Ian
caster was starting a left-hander,
Don Madden relieved Owen in right
field.
Despite the fact that two errors
were charged to the Braves, heir
all-around defensive work was ex-
ceptionally good and, as a matter of
fact, it was that defensive play that
got Reardon out of two or three
pretty bad holes. Simmons, as usual,
was unbeatable around short, COM
ing up with no less than eleven as
slsts and starting one of the Braves
two double plays. Tedesco was also
busy young man around third
getting two putouts and five assists
Don Madden helped the cause along
considerably when his fine peg to
the plate in the third frame, after
Umstead had singled, nipped Asst
bury at the plate and stopped what
might have been a Lancaster rally.
Too much credit also can not be
given to Danny Long, whose backing
up of first base also nipped another
rally in the bud.
Reardon got off to a shaky start
and gave up two runs in the top half
of the first frame. Runge opened
the inning with solid triple to left
and scored while Baracato was being
thrown out at first on a grounder to
second. Reardon then walked Small,
and Astbury beat out slow roller
down the third baseline, and Small
went all the way to third when Heap
let. Reardon's throw get away from
him. Umstead was up next and he
grounded to Reardon who made a
bad throw to second with Small scor-
ing on the error and Astbury moving
to second Reardon then settled
down and got the rest of the side
out without any further damage.
Ludwick also had a shaky first
inning, mainly because of his wild
ness He walked the first three men
to face him, Simmons, Heap and
Levan, but got Tedesco on line
drlVe to LETT, with Simmons scoring
after the catch. He walked Tufano,
filling the bases for the second time,
but then turned right around and
struck out Madden and Freund to
retire the side. That was all the
scoring until the seventh inning,
when the Braves put the game on
ice with four-run splurge.
Simmons opened the inning with
a single to short center, but Heap
forced him at second. Levan fol-
lowed with another single to short
center, with Heap stopping at Sec
ond, and Tedesco came through with

Pottenger was behind the plate.
Bob Sweeney, a Highlander
(the losing pitcher), started for Lam
caster and was believed in the
eighth by Dan Bennett, left-hand-
er. Bareford was behind the plate.
The Red Roses took a two-run
lead in the top half of the first, but
the Braves came right back and tied
it up in the bottom. Weiderecht
started the inning by walking
Stramm and Baracato and then
struck out Small, but followed that
with walk to Astbury, filling the
bases. 1t looked as if he was going
to get out of the bad spot when he
struck out Umstead, but Glica, the
next man up, hit hot grounder be-
tween short and first that Simmons
went back on the grass and stopped
but had no chance to make any
play Stramm scored on the hit,
but if it hadn't been for Simmons
fine stop another run would have
been certain to come in. Weiderecht
then walked Lewis, forcing in Bar
acato with the second run. and at
this point Baxter took over and got
Bareford on an easy grounder to
Heap at first
In the bottom half, with two away,
Levan beat out a slow roller down
the third base line. Tedesco was up
next and he slammed double to CEN
ter scoring Levan, and Tufano came
right behind him with double to
left, scoring Tedesco Madden then
grounded out to end the inning.
1t was Az Hagerstown in the Sec
ond With one away, Pottenger
hoisted a high fly to short left, that
Astbury dropped for the first error
of the ball game. Baxter struck
out, but Simmons walked, moving
Pottenger to second. Heap then
singled to right, scoring Pottenger,
and when Umstead let the ball get
away from him, Simmons also scored
on the error, with Heap going all
the way to third, but he died there
when Levan went down swinging.
That was all the scoring until the
fourth, when Hagerstown went
ahead 6-2. Pottenger walked and
Baxter sacrificed him to second. He
moved over to third when Sweeney,
trying to nip him at second, made a
wild throw, and then Heap came up
with his four-bagger high over the
center field wall, driving in Pot
tenger ahead of him.
1t was To Hagerstown in the sixth,
when Simmons, who had reached
first on fielder's choice, scored on
Heaps third hit, double to center
Lancaster got their first hit off of
Baxter in the top half of the sixth
when( with two out, Lewis doubled,
but he got no farther as Bareford
grounded out, but they came back
swinging in the seventh, when three
solid blows gave them all of their
runs. Sweeney opened the inning
with walk and after Stramm had
struck out, Baracato doubled,
scoring Sweeney. Small followed
with another double, scoring Bar
acato, and Astbury came through |
with single, scoring Small for the
third run. Umstead then forced Asst
bury at second and Glica ended the
inning by lining out to Tedesco.

Running their winning streak to
six games, the Braves made it two
straight over Lancaster on Thurs
day night, behind the steady pitch
ing of Al Bennett, the third Hagers-
town hurler to go the distance. Bob
Pottenger was his battery mate.
Jim Walsh, a Highlander (the
losing pitcher), was knocked out in
the fourth and Gilbert, for the sec
ond straight night, was the relief
pitcher and did a bang-up job. Joe
Soskovic was behind the plate.
Both Bennett and Walsh pitched
no-hit ball for the first three innings,
and Gilbert did the same in the last
four. All the scoring took place in
the fourth.
In the top half, Umstead, the first
man up, singled to center and then
stole second. Glica popped up to
Tedesco at third for the first out,
but Lewis drew base on balls.
Then, with Soskovic at bat, Ben
nett uncorked a wild pitch sending
Umstead to third and Lewis to Sec
ond. He then walked Soskovic to
fill the bases. Walsh was up next
and he flied out to Madden at right,
with Umstead scoring after the catch
for the Senators lone tally. Stramm,
who went to center field after Runge
was hurt when he crashed into the
wall taking Freund's long fly in the
third, took third called strike to
end the inning.
In the bottom half, Levan, first
man up, doubled to left and Tedesco
got base on balls. Tufano follow
ed with single to center, scoring
Levan and sending Tedesco to third.
Madden struck out for the first out
of the inning but then Walsh devel-
oped a wild streak. He walked
Freund to fill the bases, then fol-
lowed with base on balls to Pot
tenger, which scored Tedesco and
left the bases full. Still unable to
find the plate, he then walked Ben
nett forcing Tufano across the plate
and leaving the sacks heavily oc-
cupied. At this point acting man
ager Astbury yanked him out of
there and sent in Gilbert. He got
Simmons, the first man to face him,
on a third called strike, but Heap,
who had previously been unable to
find his batting eye, came through
in the clutch with solid single to
center scoring Freund and Pottenger,
with Bennett stopping at second.
Levan, up for the second time in
the inning, drew base on balls, but
Gilbert ended the inning by striking
out Tedesco
Gilbert pitched no-hit ball the
rest of the way, sending the Braves
down in order in the last four in
nings. Bennett pitched shutout ball
in the last five innings he worked.
In the sixth inning he gave up a
walk and a single with one man out
but got the next two batters on easy
grounders. He was in trouble again
in the seventh inning when he walk
ed the first man to face him and the
next singled, but Jay Simmons got
him out of that hole by making a
beautiful play on Umstead's ground
er and turning it into double play.
The Senators last hit came in the top
half of the ninth when, with two out,
Baracata doubled, but Bennett end
ed the inning by forcing Small to
pop up to Tedesco at third.

Benson Asks Local Labor Be Used On Local Projects

Henry Benson, Territorial Com missioner of Labor is here for a few days on business from his of flee in Juneau
 He states that he finds that a certain section of the law pertain ing to hiring is not being followed by employers in the Territory, and calls attention to Section 34, Chapter 2 (a) which states that all employers must notify en- ployees in writing at the time of hiring of the day and place of pay ment and rate of pay. Failure to comply involves maximum of $1 100000 fine or year in jaly.
 Approved forms for employers will be available at The Nugget.
 He urges the community to take steps advocating the use of local labor in the military projects which will soon be getting under way in this area, as several hun dred men will probably be needed on construction. He stated that this work should not be given out to imported labor when the peo- pie here need it so badly and that there are plenty of workmen quail flied in the area to do the job.

Confident Senate Will Vote On
 Statehood Bills
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) pared by Senator Butler R.-Neb0, ranking minority member of the committee, also is expected to be presented to the Senate during the coming week.
 Statehood for Alaska and Ha- waii I regard as a major aspect of American international policy, for the passage of these two mea- sures will indicate better than al- most anything we can do that the policy of the United States is to foster and establish self-govern- ment by peoples everywhere with out regard to distinctions of race or color," O'Mahoney said. "Ac- cordingly shall continue to press for early consideration of these bills"
 The committee report on the Alaska bill reviewed the terms of the legislation and said it believ- ed the bill has the support of the majority of the citizens of the Ter ritory.
 It said Alaska occupies stra- tegic position in world affairs and an important place in nation al defense being only 54 miles from Soviet territory. It said that strictly speaking statehood will not change the military situation in the Territory and that it's peo- pie would defend it just as com pletely under Territorial status as under statehood.
 ''It is military axiom," it con- tinued, "that a populous area with a developed economy, and a stable citizenry and political institutions is a bulwark against invasion militarily and psychologically /. |.
 Alaska and Hawaii are the only remaining incorporated Ter ritories under the American flag which have not yet achieved his toric destiny of incorporated Ter ritories, namely statehood" the report said. ''The present measure and similar bill for Hawaii, would complete the historic pat tern"
 It said Alaska ''is ready and qualified for statehood now. =.
 "It therefore earnestly recom- mends that the Senate take affir- native action on this measure which is a major plank in the platforms of both major political parties."

DINNER HoNoRs WoAlkN'S DIVISION HEADS

From the speakers table at the dinner given last Friday honoring the heads of the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Meth odist Church, Mrs. Frank Brooks, president of the organization, took the group on a talking tour of countries all over the world where Christian women are working. In a most eloquent manner she told of the Christian women of Korea and their eagerness to learn more of Christian way of life, and how hard it is for them to get this in formation while high powered by communism on all sides; she told of the Women of Germany today and their despair for improved conditions for themselves and their families; of the dislike of Americans in France due to com munistic propaganda against our country. She explained that al- though this organization of women is the biggest women's organiza- ton in the world with over one and one-half million members, more are needed to carry on the work of sharing and fellowship with the less fortunate women of other countries. One startling statement made was that there are now over seven millions more women in Germany than men, meaning that women of that coun- try must carry the load of ad- ministration.
 A lovely dinner was served and placecards were made by Robert Mayokok. The dinner in- cluded songs by the Native Sister hood and toastmistress was presi- dent of the Woman's Society, Mrs. Earl Clark.
 Mrs. Carrie McLain gave a his tory of church work in Nome since the gold rush days.
 A presentation was made by Bertha Fiscus of Nome Cook Books to the guests and an ivory gavel to Mrs. Brooks.
 Mrs. Emma Willoya was inter pretor for the Native group.
