Resumption Of Play
BY the Asseelased Press

With no complaints from the
newly organized players "asso-
ciation," the Dodgers and Braves
will resume the National League
pennant race a day ahead of
schedule at Milwaukee tonight.
The day before and the day
after the All-Star Game tradi-
tionally are off days in the
majors. but this is the only OPP
portunity the two clubs have to
make UP a postponed game, so
the show will go on.
The Dodgers will nave an OPP

they'll have to beat Jim Wilson.
who has yet to lose a game in
six decisions. The Dodgers will
go with Russ Meyer, who shows
Ga record for the year.
The big news in the Braves
camp concerned Bobby Thorn
son. who hasn't played a game
this season because of a fractured
right ankle suffered in spring
training. Thomson, who was
dealt to the Braves by the
Giants during the winter. hit a
two-run pinch-hit homer in an
exhibition game in Toledo Mon
day night.
Not Ready for Full Duty.
He's not ready for full-time
service yet, but Manager Charlie
Grimm said he will not hesitate
to use him as a pinch hitter.
II don't know how long it will
be before he can run well enough
to play regularly" Grimm said.
Manager Leo Durocher OF the
Giants, who got the better Of
the deal at least temporarily,
because Of the fine hurting of
Johnny Antonelli-was not par
ticularly optimistic over Thorn
sons chances Of getting back
into action.
1T will take the rest Of this
season and next spring training
before Bobby is back to normal"
he said.

AS it is, the Braves, who
thought Thomson would give
them the added punch to win

CLEVELAND, July 14.-This
21st All-Star Game will go down
as AL Rosen's. Give q cheer for
Casey Stengel, a winning nan-
ager on his nth attempt An-
other cheer for Larry Dolby. one
for Ray Boone and q bow to
Nellie Fox. But don't forget, it
was al Rosen's ball game.
The prematurely gray CleVe-
land infielder. whose two success.

Of the American Leagues runs
in an 11-9 victory, remained the
talk Of the town today as the
last Of the All-Star cast and
viewers departed.
RoSen, who didn't want to
play because he felt a swollen
finger on his right hand would
hurt the American Leagues
chances, and because he hadn't
homered since June 90, pointed
up anew the unimportance Of
form in baseball. The National
Leaguers, winners of four in a
row. were solid 7-to-5 favorites
oyer the crippled Americans and
one reason was that their squad
had the power. On paper, that is.
The National League squad
had q combined total of $50
home runs. the American band
a mere 152. Walt Aston sup
posedly had more and better left
handed pitchers. He had Stan
Musial. Duke Snider and. for
frosting on top. Willie Mays.
But only Stengel had AL Rosen.
Records Fall Like Leaves.

runs fell like autumn leaves as

the final touch Of irony, Second
BaSenlan Fox, who had famed
on his only other trip to the
plate. hit the cheapest Of the
days 81 hits. It was a little
blooper just beyond the reach of
Shortstop Alvin Dark, but it
scored Mantle and Berra with
the winning runs. It was almost
as If Fox had used a glass bat.
No Classic Example.

that it was q spectators game,

 Scotty Dies In His Castle

STOVEPIPE WELLS, Calif., R Death Valley Scotty died last night in his beloved castle, a three million dollar showplace in the desert wilderness.
 Scotty, 81, was California's most famous prospector since the gold rush, and the adventuresome and mysterious tales of his gold strikes were legion.
 Yet the only treasure he is known to have come by was the wealth of his late friend and bene- factor, Albert Mussey Johnson, Chicago insurance executive Johnson kept him in style.
 Dr. E. Vase Wallace, of Las Vegas, Nev., said Scotty died of a gastro intestinal hemorrhage Wallace said he had been treating Scotty - whose true name was Walter Scott mn for the past five years.
 desert rat was conscious until the end, and died quietly. At his bed side was Mary Liddecoat, presi- dent of the Gospel Foundation of California, who had been Scotty's constant companion during the last two years.
 Johnson, actual owner of the castle, conveyed the property to the Gospel Foundation upon his death about six years ago. He provided, however, that Scotty was to live there the remainder of his life, if he desired, and a suite was maintained for him.
 Scotty leaves a widow, Joseph Scott, TT, who has been living in Long Beach for the last IS years; son, Navy It. Walter P. Scott, 39, Oak Harbor, Wash; and two grandchildren, Walter P. Scott, Jr., IA, and Kathleen, 13.

Tribute Paid Pete Anderson Last Sunday

The following tribute was given by Mrs. w. B. Mccarthy last Sun day morning during the regular Sunday School session of the Com munity Church to honor Pete An derson, who attended the church and was active for many years.
 It was such a sincere and beau tiful tribute that we have been asked to reprint it.
 I want to tell you about a man who was faithful. All of you who go to Sunday School have seen him many times: MT. Pete Ander- son, the White-haired man with such a kind, sweet face, who was always in the Bible Class.
 He was the most faithful man in coming to worship that I have ever known-excepting my own father. I have known him for 30 years in the church and Sunday School and yet I know SO little about him except that he was so faithful.
 He must be the one the Psalmist was talking about when he said, Il was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord'" He must be the kind of man whom Jesus was thinking of when he gave the Beatitudes, for they all fit him:
 Blessed are the poor in spirit;
 Blessed are the meek;

kind of people have we trained in our church. That is good, and is something for you to think of and for the teachers to strive for. And when I think of the faithfulness of Pete Anderson, I think that is something, too.
 MT. Anderson died in Sitka last November. We did not know in time to send any flowers or re- membranes. That is as well. Since he did love to come to Sunday School and since this is his, church, what would you think of using one Sundays collection for a memorial for him?
 We might buy candles which MT. Havens keeps burning through the church services; we might buy some music for the choir and dedicate it to him; we might put the amount on the organ; we might buy flowers for Easter in memory of his faithfulness.
 Let us be silent for moment in memory of Pete Anderson, known all over the country as Deep Channel Pete"
