Burt Shotion Happy Over Big Victory

Sholton. at 65, was happy as a 14- .ye.ar-oid schoolboy over the 4-3 triumph his National Lesguerr fashioned. ,

The bitterness in his heart from a pre-game booing and'jeering at his introduction was almost gone. He charged into the dressing room and cut loose with a blood-curd- ling yell.

"What a ball nine." screamed Burt. ".i'here's simply nothing to it-with that kind of a gang."

The Brooklyn manager spoke briefly of the booing that followed his introduction:

"I stood out there long enough with my hat in my hand to let them see me and get all the boos out of their system. Those 48,000 out there ought to be ashamed of themselves now."

The Chicago fans booed Shot- ion because he had tried to dis- place l-iank Sauer, Chicago out- fielder. with his own Duke Snider, but was overruled. -

Red Schoendienst of the Card- inals. whose 14th-inning homer broke up the game was joyously gleeful.

Somebody asked what sort of pitch Detroit's Ted Gray threw him. I

"I guess it was a double-knuckle ball." he said with a huge grin. "The pitch didn't have much to it. because I pulled it."

Ford Frick. president of the Na- tional League. pronounced the game the greatest he had ever seen.

”No matter who won," he ex- claimed, "it was the finest game I have ever seen. I wonder what happened to the lively ball?"

American leaguers

CHICAGO. July 12-(A?)-You would have thought the American Leaguers had won.

They were still a cocky, jesting bunch as they piled into their dressing room after losing the All- Star game to the Nationals.

That is. all except the Yankee Clipper. Joe DiMaggio, who hit into a double play to end the

Art Houttemsn said Ralph Kin- er's four-bagger of! him in the ninth. which tied the score 3-3, was tagged on a fast ball. Ted Gray described his homerun pitch to St. Louis' Red Schoendienst in the 14th-the blow that brought the Naeis their fifth victory in 17 All-Star classics- " a "low, fast one."

The New York skipper. Casey Siengel, said he wished "I could have sent in my pinch-hitters sooner.

”But as things worked out I was pretty well hamstrung in try- ing to find a place to insert them."

Scales Mountain After 25 years; "Packs Hiavier"

By Murlln B. Spencer

CORDOVA, Alaska, July i2 - (AP)-A gray-haired, 60-year-old Bostonian, who was among those making the first ascent of 19.850- foot Mt. Logan 25 years ago. con- quered the peak again June 17- the second time it has been scaled.

For Norman H. Read. it was six days short of 26 years since he and five others fought their way to the top of the forbidding mountain. highest in Canada and second by

the North America continent.

Read and Andre Roch. his com- panion from Davos, Switzerland. returned here after 51 days on ice where there is no animal or bird life. They battled incredible snow- storms that threatened to destroy them.

In the face of overwhelming odds. they climbed both of Logan's peaks.

The ice-capped mountain rises high just inside the Yukon Ter- ritory to the north of Yakutat. Alaska, between Oordova. and Juneau. on June 2!, . 1925 it was ascended for the first time by six members of a. joint expedition of Canadian and American Alpine Clubs.

"Since it was a. quarter of a century slnoe I'd done it before. I wanted to see if I could do it again-if my legs would take it." said Read in an interview aboard a. plane to Juneau. "I found I could, although the packs seemed a lit- tle heavier this tine."

Read. Roch and an Alaskan guide. severet Jacobsen of Chitlna, Alaska, made their plans carefully. but everything went wrong.

They left oordova May 8 by plane and landed on Olgivie glacier near the mountain. A second plane dropped supplies but. strong winds scattered the food and equipment over an eight-mile area.

Wearing only what they had on when they left Cordova, Read and Roch waited 18 days in their little tent at the 7.000-foot base camp for new supplies to be flown in,

Manhandled Sleds

They started their climb May 26. pulling heavy sleds behind them.

"We'd move part of the supplies up a. couple of thousand feet and then have to go back six or seven times for the remainder," Read said.

For l2 days they lived above 14.- 000 feet in temperatures of 15 below zero. They had worked their tortuous way to the 17,500 foot level when a three-day storm struck them.

Jacobson, who had gone back for supplies. was cut off from the advance base and Read and Roch decided to go on alone. They had carried just four days' supplies to this advance point and all they had to cat was a little soup, raisins and chocolate.

They had hoped to find a bag of canned food which had been left at the 18,500-foot elevation 25 years ago. but it had been covered by snow.

Early June 11. the two men start ed the final ascent. They piodded 50 yards. then had to rest. piodded another 50 and rested again as they fought for oxygen in the rarlfied air.

They finally reached the lower of two peaks. just 50 feet below the highest point. They then went down the other side and climbed the higher pinnacle.

Flying to Juneau. Read. a 200- pounder, looked out of the plane window at distant Mount Logan. Then he looked at his finger- tips blackened by frostbite.

"Two times are enough." he

LONDON. July 12 - (OP)-one of every three paid workers in Britain is a woman.

four are skilled. we or three do routine clerical and four fill higher clerical. t ' l or professional positions.

These and other facts are con- tained in a first report on women prepared by the Economic infor- mation Unit of the Treasury. Mrs. L. 8. Horton of the Econ- omic information Unit told the Canadian Press the report had been issued in response to an increasing demand by women's organizations throughout the country.

Wanted Facts

More and more women were clamoring for facts and figures on export, productivity. employment, building and all economic factors with direct bearing on home life. Created to explain economic problems in clear and understand- able language. the unit has worked in close co-operation with the women's organizations, providing much lecture material.

The report explains the part women play in the earning and saving of doliars.. It shows that women form a main artery of in- dustry, productivity, export and. as a natural cycle. the economy of thenation. '

In reference to dollar exports.

and imports, Canada is mentioned on three pages of the foul-9age re- port. Page one says: "The quantity of exports to Canada and the United states has been larger than a year ago. and is still in- creasing.-"

The report was well received by the British press. Cixnmcnted A. J. Cummi of the Liberal News Chronicle: "It makes far more entertaining reading than most of the stuff churned out by Govern- ment departments."

Crews Of Pearl I Ilarbor-Bound Destroyers Busy

ABOARD H.M.C.5. CAYUGA. July 12 - (CP) - Training and manoeuvers are keeping the crews of three Canadian destroyers busy as they steam towards Hawaii and a possible rendezvous with United States fighting ships in the Kor- ean area.

Full operational crews man the vessels, dispatched from Esqulm- alt, B.C., last week to the big U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, where they will exercise and await word on whether they are to join the United Nations? forces battling the Communist invaders of south Korea.

Since this flagship and the Sioux and Athabaskan left Es- quimalt last Wednesday, their crews have been engaged in sharp- ening up their fighting skills in

three destroyers. For part of the time. the manoeuvers ' ciuded the cruiser Ontario which accompan- ied the destroyer flotilla on the early stages of the 2,400-mile voy-

age.

The Ontario parted company with the destroyers last Thursday evening and headed back for the west coast naval base.

Around dusk, the destroyers steamed by the cruiser. whose fore- castie, gun turrets and bridge deck were massed with the ship's com- pany. As each destroyer passed the bigger vessel, a wave od cheers rolled across the short stretch of water between them.

Then the Ontario dropped as- torn and the destroyers stood on for Pearl Harbor. They are due to arrive there Wednesday.
