ent law. the complaining party
must be a District resident for

700 PM.
Originally scheduled as an after
noon game, the contest was
switched to a later time in order
to comply with a proclamation
issued by Baltimore Mayor Tommy
D'Alesandro naming the weekend
of May 1888 as Baltimore All
Sports Weekend. Thus sports
fans will be able to see the Freak
ness in the afternoon and to witness
the game later in the evening.
The Kansas City AS, challeng-
ing the Birds sixth place finish Of
last season, will be in Baltimore
for the second double-header of the
year on Sunday afternoon, May 10
at 2 Pm. The two teams will play
again on Monday night, May 20.
On Tuesday night and Wednesday
night, May 21 and %, the Detroit
Tigers will furnish the opposition
for the Orioles. Aiming for a fifth
place finish or better this season,
the Birds must oust the Bengals
from the No. spot where they
finished last year.
Following an open date of
Thursday, May %, the powerful
Boston Red Sox, with Ted Williams,
will play in Baltimore on Friday
night, May "a, Saturday afternoon,
and followed by a double-header
on Sunday, the 26th.
1t is not unlikely that, during
the coming home stand, George
Kell, veteran third baseman of the
Orioles, will reach the coveted
2,OOO-hit mark. The likeable farmer
from Swifton, Ark, was only S8
hits away from that goal at the
beginning Of the season and he will
become the Tooth player in Major
League history to reach the 1000
hit mark. Other active players
with over 1000 hits are Stan
Musial, Mickey Vernon, Ted Will
liams, Enos Slaughter, Pee Wee
Reese, and Red Schoendienst.
Ticket Manager Elmer Burkart
has announced that plenty of
tickets are available for all games
during the coming home stand.

Orioles Begin 17-Game Home Stand;
Play Yankees May 10,11,f2

Of to their best start since their
return to the American League
in 1854, the Baltimore Orioles
viii inaugurate a 17-game home
stand with three games against
the World Champion New York
Yankees on Friday night, Saturday
night, and Sunday afternoon, May
10, IL, and II.
Now concluding their first West
ern swing of the 1857 campaign,
the Birds return home on Friday
night for one OF the longest home
stands of the season. Following
the Yankees into Memorial Stadium
will be the Cleveland Indians,
Chicago White Sox, Kansas City
AS, Detroit Tigers; and the Boston
Red Sox. Thus, every team in the
junior circuit with the exception
of the Washington Senators will
visit Baltimore.
The New York Yankees, featur-
ing Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra,
are probably the biggest attraction
in baseball today. Last year, over
100000 fans came to Memorial
Stadium to see IL games between
the Birds and Manager Casey
StengePs power-packed team.
The Orioles enjoyed a good deal
of success against the Yankees in
Memorial Stadium, too, as they
won 6 games and lost 5. To date
this season, the two teams have
met only once and the Orioles
fought the New Workers on even
terms until Mickey Mantle hit an
eighth inning home run to help the
Yankees to 3-2 triumph in New
York.
Following this trio of games
between the Yankees and the
Orioles, the Cleveland Indians will
come to Baltimore for three night
games on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday, May IA, 15, and 16.
The Chicago White Sox, formerly
managed by Baltimore Manager
Paul Richards, will play a night
game in Baltimore on Friday, May
IL and will play a single game on
Saturday, May 18 beginning at

Witness at Cirard Trial Says CI
 Chased Japanese Before Fatal Shot

} SOMAGAHARA, Japan, R-A prosecution witness testified to- day that minutes before William s. Girard fatally shot Mrs. Naka Sakai he chased other Japanese brass collectors on a US. firing range.
 The witness, Hidetsugu Oneze- Xii, said Girard pursued six or seven Japanese for more than 50 yards on the range near Somaga- hara.
 Testifying at the final outdoor session on the range, Onezekki gave this account:
 After chasing the scavengers Girard returned to his foxhole and threw cartridge cases toward the Japanese. Mrs. Sakai ap- preached and Girard called to heI in Japanese:
 "Old woman, there's really a lot of brass, isn't there?"
 Mrs. Sakai went to foxhole to which Girard pointed and climbed in, Onezeki said. The witness add ed that he started toward the same foxhole but stopped when when 'the soldier stood up and pointed the rifle toward me-"
 Girard fired at Mrs. Sakai and she tumbled to the ground, One zeki sadi.
 Soldier Victor Nickel, the only American witness for the prose cution, said he believed Girard fired at Mrs. Sakai as a joke and did not tniend to hit her.
 When the woman fell, Nickel testified yesterday, tthe Japanese started to kick up a commotion Girard went over and when he came back he was scared. He asked, 'What'll we do next?'"

Convicted Marine Pleads for 90 Days Sentence Instead of 30

LONG BEACH, Calif., R-A Marine Corps sergeant surprised a municipal judge when he told him he preferred a 90-day sen tence rather than 30 days.
 Sgt. Richard K. Pattershell, 27, of Camp Pendleton, Calif., was ordered yesterday to serve 30 days for cashing five forged checks totaling $625. He told Mu- nicipal Judge Vasey:
 "If I serve 90 days I'll receive a bad conduct discharge from the marines without a court-martial.' J
 With a 30-day sentence, how ever, the marines could court martial him, make him serve ad- ditional time in a military prison, Battershell explained.
 Judge Vasey granted the re- quest.

Alaska Railroad Profits Despite Competition From Oil Pipeline

WASHINGTON, R Despite barely breaking even on last years operation, Alaska Railroad officials have no plans for a gen. eral freight rate increase such as was suggested last spring.

 Revenue loss as result of the Defense Departments operation of the aines-Fairbanks oil pipe line was about $31s million for the last fiscal year.
 But because of improved busi- ness elsewhere and operating economies the railroad finished the year with a surplus of about $18O,OOO.
