Oakland Beaten
By Cast-Off With
Hollywood, 2 to 1
(By the Associated Press)
Oakland's second-place Acorns,
trailing by a wider gap than ever
before in the Pacific Coast Base
ball League campaign had reason
today to regret the shuffle that
lost them the services of Second
Baseman Gabby Stewart.
A low hitting average was
Stewart's main handicap early
in the season, and Manager Casey
Stengel, heaping acorn power at
the plate, sold him with a .210
average to the Hollywood Stars.
1 Since then the second sacker
has livened his willow to the
tune or .271, and last night he
made the Oaklanders' sorry about
the whole thing by setting up the
run that enabled the Stars to set
aown the Oakland club 2-1.
The defeat left the Acorns five
and one-half games behind the
leading San Francisco Seals, who
open a series against the Angels
hi ios Angeies wnn a double
header today.
Ralni'erg Nose Padres -
Seattle's Ralnlers, who recently
climbed to seventh place after
long tenancy of the cellar, edged
out the San Diego Padres 3-2 be
hind the seven-hit pitching of
Pullord and his relief, Yelovlc. a
costly error by Lohrke let Melro
get aboard and go to second base,
and York singled him home for
the winning tally in the fifth
Inning.
The Padres scored their second
run In the eighth frame without
benefit of a hit. Walks to McDon
ald and Jensen, a sacrifice and an
outfield fly produced the marker.
Sacramento's Solons shaded the
last-place Portland Beavers 2-1 In
a seven-inning opener of a double
header, and the two clubs battled
through 11 innings to a 6-6 tie in
the second encounter. The night
cap was called when the league's
11:50 P. M. deadline for stanlng
a new ining was reached in deacT
lock.
Staley yielded seven hits In
pitching the Solons to their vic
tory. Losing hurler was Llska,
who allowed eight safeties in five
Innings.

Brooklyn stands in dire need
of a fiery pep talk from cheer
leader Leo Durocher today with
Its National League lead shriveled
to a half game after absorbing
a 10-0 pasting from the rejuven
ated Pittsburgh Pirates.
Stories that the last-place
Pirates were putting on a closing
surge to save their jobs under the
new owners had been accepted
wilh a grain of sail. Eut since
Krank McKlnney, Bins Crosby
and associates bought the Pitts
burgh franchise, the Bucs have
hustled to seven wins In 10
games.
With seven more games against
the Cards and four more with the
Dodgers, Pittsburgh could very
well prove the decisive factor in
the championship battle.
Strincevich, who lost his first
seven starts in 1946, shut the door
in the Brooks' faces, allowing
only four hits. The Pirates climb
ed all over Vic Lombard! and
three successors.
Cardinals, Cubs Win
The Cardinals lit into Niggling
for a 41 verdict over the Boston
Braves.
The Chicago Cubs pained
ground on boin Brooklyn and St.
Louis by whipping the Phillies
twice, 5-2 and 10-2. but lost Sec
ond Baseman Don Johnson with a
fractured left hand.
New York advanced to within
a half frame of the slumping fifth
place Cincinnati Reds wiih a 4-.':
decision engineered by Koslo with
home run help from Cooper and
Rosen nullifying a workmanlike
effort by Gumbert.
Red Sox Stretch Lead
Boston's pennant-bound Red
Sox divided a pair with the lowly
St. Louis Browns but stretched
their lead to 144 games over New
York with only 35 to "o.
Bagby grabbed his fifth win in
the opener. 51. and Kinder of the
Brownies fashioned his first ma.
jor league success in the 5-4
llnale with relief help from For
rick. Teddv Williams bashed his
33rd homer.
Both Cleveland's Feller and De.
troll's Newhouser failed in their
attempts to hit the 22-win mark,
Feller bowing to Washington. 5-4.
and Newhouser losing to Philadel
phia, 20.
Gumpert's chrht-eame win
streak was snapped hy Chicago
as Lopat turned back New York,
