She wore long white arm gloves and carried a bouquet of white spring flowers
 The Queen was crowned by Al Carlson, president of the class.

'Rajah' Takes Win Calmly
 Win Biz Grin
Famous Pilot Tucks Pen nanf AwaY-Win Seems Step Back 10 Big Time

SEATTLE, Sept Rogers Hornsby was the calmest man in the clubhouse last night as the Se- attle Rainiers celebrated winning their first Pacific Coast league pen nant in 10 years.
 Hall-of-famer Hornsby, one of baseball's all-time greats. was happy, of course. that his club had fin ished on top during his first year at the helm, but winning was old stuff to the Rajah.
 As the bowling mob of ball. players streamed in from the field where they had defeated Oakland, last years penn ant winner, Hcrnsby stood quietly by, an ear to-ear grin on his face, but few words on his lips.
 Not so the Rainiers. General Manager Earl Sheely and Vice Pres ident Torchy Torrance made ab- propriate speeches. So did effer- vescent Jimmy Rivera, White Sox- bound Hornsby discovery voted the most valuable player in the league, and most of the rest of the crew. Someone opened a case of the stuff that bears the same name as the ball club.
 Hornsby's contribution was brief He stepped over to shake hands with pitcher Charley Schsnz. He passed 9 few quiet remarks to other players, then quickly dressed and left the clubhouse.
 It was a familiar scene, different setting, for the Rajah.
 Winning the Coast League pen nant was another step on the trail that may take him back to the majors where in 1926 he piloted the St. Louis Cardinals to the world championship.

Al Rosen and Lake Easter, Clere- lands classy onea'wo punch, are using their big bats to deflste the theory that the Indians are Q mo hit, good pitch" club.
 Rosen and Easter were the biz guns last night as the Indians de- feated the Detroit Tigers, 5-2, ana regained first placs in the American League. Each walloped a home run with Q man on base to help the Tribe back up it's 18th victory in IT meetings with Detroit.
 The Indians wrcstIed the lead from the New York Yankees, who dropped a Az decision 10 the vis- iting Boston Red Sox. The triumph moved the third place Sex to within three games of the Gefcnd- ing champions and left them four behind Cleveland. Boston trails the Tribe by only one in the in,- portant lost column.
 New York's Giants refuse to give up their fight to overhaul the Ma tional League leading Brooklyn Dodgers. A sweep of a doubleheader from Boston, 3-2 and 9-1, enabled them to cut Brooklyn's lead to five and a half games. The Dodgers whipped the Philadelphia Phils, 5-2
 Philadelphia's Athletics tool; two from Washington, Al and 9-7 Gin cinnati defeated Pittsburgh, 6-3. and the St. Louis Cardinals and Chi cago Cubs split. The Cubs won the opener, 3-2, in Il innings and the Cards grabbed the nightcap, 6.5.
 The homers by Resen and Easter were all Cieveland's Early Wynn needed to register his 17th triumph against 12 losses. The righthander surrendered culy four hits.
 Twin" Eaters
 Hitting homers in the same game has become something of a habit to Rosen and Easter. Yesterday marked the ninth time this year the two sluegers accomplished the trick. The Indians won all nine games.
 Brilliant pitching by Leo Kiely and Maurice AfcDermott, a pair of young southpaws, helped Boston to it's 10th victory in Is meetings with the Yankees.
 Kiely, called I'D from Louisville last July, hurled seven runiess in- nings before weakening. A bril- liant rescue job by McDernott helped the -year-old from Ho- boken, NJ. to his fifth victory in eight decisions.

Hornsby's Rainiers Take
 pennanf by Downing Oaks
By the Associated Press

Rogers Hornsby Las made it on his first try in tl.e Pacific Coast League. The eX-National Leaguer. generally recognized as the greatest right hand hitter of all time, saw his Seattle club take the Pacific Coast league pennant last night. The Rainiers downed Oakland, 4 to 2, and removed the last vestige of hope Hollywood entertained of gaining a tie.
 Hollywood downed Sacramento again. to 9, on George Schmee5' single with the bases jamned in the tenth. Portland took LOS An geles in a slugfest, to 6, and San Francisco whipped San Diego in the only day game, 3-0
 Hornsby's success was due to his assembling of a well-balanced pitching staff, Jim Rivera's all- around play. the double duty of pitcher -outfielder Al Lyons, and lots of speed afield and on the base paths. Hollywood had more hitting power but was slow and veterans were out of. action fre- quently.
 Hornsby thus made it two titles in a row. He piloted Beaumont to the Texas League championship in 1950 The team he inherited from Paul Richards at Seattle finished sixth last year. This year Beau- mont is battling to stay in the first division.
 .Portland's win over Los Angeles moved the Beavers within a half game of the third place Angels. These clubs are battling for first division places and appear to have them just about clinched, with the right to take part in the Governors Cup playoffs starting next Tuesday in Seattle and Hollywood,
 San Franciscos shutout, pitched by Al Lien, ended a five-game losing streak for the Seals, and enabled them to get a tie with Sacramento for the dubious distinction of being in last place.

in the first inning, Ted Williams 28th homer in the third and Bobby Dcerr's single in the fifth, accounted for the Red SoX runs. All came with two out. Vic Raschi lost his ninth decision against IT victories.
 A grand slam homer by Gil Hodges, the sixth of his career, gave the Dodgers and Ralph Branca their victory. It was Hodges 3,ih circuit blow and Branca's 18th triumph.
 Sal Maglie pitched his fiTsi victory. over the Braves and Sheldcn Jones hurled his first complete game of the year as the Giants made it 23 wins in their last 26 games.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
arY to blow the shofar at the end
of the Yom Kippur day service?
ANSWER: A number of inter-
esting explanations are offered by
various sources. Generally, this
blast is considered a commemora-
tive feature of the Jubilee year
when the shofar would be sound
ed at the end of the Day of Atone
ment to set the slaves free. In this
sense blowing the shofar at the
end of the service indicates our
freedom from sin and the fear of
punishment. Some writers indi-
cate that the sounding of the sho-
far heralds the departure of the
Almighty who rises to his heaven
ly throne after a day of judgment,
just as trumpets announce the
departure of monarchs or their
arrival. Others claim that it was
originally done to announce to
those at home that the day OF
fasting had ended and it was time
to prepare the meal that breaks
the fast and feed the family.
Others claim that it is blown to
confuse Satan who seeks to find
fault with G-d's children after
they have been forgiven. The
Hassidic sources feel that the sho-
far is the agent of defense before
the throne of judgment. After the
day is over and it has triumph
antly won the case for its con-
stituents it sounds off in triumph
and pageantry to celebrate its vic
tory. Thus the blast of the shofar
after the Yom Kippur day might
be a signal of victory.
QUESTION:: Why is the Book
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1951-10-05

of Jonah read during the after
noon service in the synagogue on
Yom Kippur? (TH-oueens. L. ~
ANSWER: The parallel of the
plight of the people of Ninveh to
the people of Israel on Yom Kip
pur day is self-evident. Even
though wicked, the people of Min
veh were forgiven and their
punishment withheld because
they tasted and repented. The,
people of Israel, likewise, fast and
repent on Yom Kippur day and
are shown the Biblical example of
Ninveh to instill them with con-
fidence that such action brings
forgiveness. Others like to think
of the moral charge handed to the
people through the story of Jonah.
Jonah tried to escape his response
bility and found himself caught in
the web of circumstance that
compelled him to carry out his
destined charge. The people are
thus reminded that one can never
escape his responsibility in life
and would do best to accept it as
such and discharge it with honor.
