NEGRO IS 1110 STAR Even before Shotton came to Brooklyn, after one of Duro chcr's final huddles with Rickey on players, the Brooks had brouaht up Jackie Robinson from Montreal as a first baseman. The first negro to break into modern organized ball was installed at first base and never ousted. The job was a tremendous gamble at the time and the former U.CLL.A. football player cfaricri sinwiv. under back- breakintr nressurc. lie went hit less In his first 20 at bats but soon put together ... a 14-game it hitting streak and later ran ou a 21-game string, only one short of the record for a rookie. Robinson's basc-runnlng. speed and hitting have been Important factors in the championship team, at least as Important as the contribution of any other sinale man. He is in the run nine lor rookic-of-the-year. The Brooks took over first pjace ' permanently July 6 and never eave un despite a heart breaking blow when President Frlck ordered a re-play of a July 20 victory over the Cardinals because Umolre Beans Reardon had motioned that Ron Northey had hit a homer when the ball actually struck the wall ana bounced back and he was thrown out at the plate. Next day they started off on a 13-game win streak that probably won the pennant, Including as it did a three-straight sweep over St. Louis at Sportsman's Park. Brooklyn's success was a team triumph. No one player stood out above the rest. amped 3 Marooned For 14 Hours M.

I Local Bakeries Announce Three Cent Bread Increase : Effective Monday Morning Prince Rupert's collective pocketbook will receive another shock on Monday. Operators of the city's three bakeries announced this morning that the retail price of bread will advance at the first of the week from 10 cents to 13 cents a loaf. Increased cost of ingredients following the removal by the federal government of its subsidy on flour was given as the reason for the boost which some quarters had predicted, would not come for at least another week. Prince Rupert is believed to be the last city in Canada to follow the trend which started immediately after the subsidy was dropped a week ago. Stocks of flour in the .city, bought at the subsidized price were not large enough, however, to allow the 10-cent loaf to continue in Prince Rupert beyond Monday. Wholesale price of bread to grocery and food stores advanced to 11 cents HURRICANE IN GULF AREA NEW ORLEANS 0 An eleven- day-old hurricane born In the Caribbean Sea, was dying out early today In northern Louisiana, after a rip-roaring career across southen Florida and the Gulf of Mexico coast where It let t t least thirteen - dead -and around 500 injured.
