San Francisco's Les Fleming Leads Coast League In RBI's By JIM HUBBART ' (AMOclatod Ptwm Sporuwriurt Long iso, baseball strategists fought off insomnia with a little ditty which today is regaining pop ularity on the managerial hit pa rade. It goes approximately like ao: Iff not home runa that win the S lines, e back your power guys; A batting average ain't no good Without those RBIs. With this in mind then, let us pause (or a moment of silent trib ute to San Francisco's Les Flem ing, who, as of now, leads the Pa cific Coast league's runs-batted-in department. No bases empty swatter, he. The stocky Texan is one of those rare personalities who derives his in- spiration for hickory mayhem aim- PENNANT CRY: Spahn, Sain, Then 2 Days Rain Etc. By JOE KELLEY BOSTON, April 25 Bos ton Braves' fans are beginning to . chant their 1948 pennant winning ' refrain again: , "Spahn and Sain then two days of rain then Spahn and , Sain." That was the rallying cry of tribal supporters as their favorites battled to Boston's first National league flag in 34 years with War ren Spahn and Johnny Sain doing most of the pitching. That accomplishment graphically supported Manager Billy South worth's frequently reported conten tion: "Give me a team of mediocre fellows who'll hustle, using 85 per cent of their ability at all times and you take the stars who are sluggish and give 40 percent of their energy." Now the warriors, once again a united Tribe with an eager all for all spirit in contrast to their dissension riddled outfit which staggered into fourth place last season, are off to a fair start. Slender southpaw Spahn and rug- ged Sain, tobacco chewing right ander, are the boys who got the tribe off a-running as each won his first two games. A year ago Sain lost his first two starts and didn't gain his first victory until his fourth start April 30 when he shout out the New York Giants 4-0. Big John, who seemingly has re gained his ability after a poor sea son last year, probably will pitch against the same Giants Thursday, after Spahn faces them tomorrow night. . In 1949 Sain never won more than two games in succession and couldn't win a single game after Aug. 23. From that date to the end of the season he started seven and lost four, winding up the sea son with a 10-17 record. ., WILLAMETTE WINS TWO CALDWELL, Idaho, April 25. (. Willamette took over first place in the Northwest conference baseball race yesterday, taking both games of a twin bill from the College of Idaho 6-1 and 11-8. Friends of a prospective bride groom among the Madis of central Africa give him presents to help him pay for his bride.

Washington St ond S P R R Tracks ply by the sight of a teammate camped on second base. Fleming's batting average Is a skimpy .239. Yet in 27 games, the Seals' first baseman has knocked in 29 runs, a generous contribu tion to San Francisco's foothold in the first division third place, to be precise. He'll probably figure prominently in Manager Lefty O'Doul's plans when the Seals open their intra bay series at Oakland tonight. Le us also pause for a moment to mourn for the Seattle Rainiers, last in the standingc and, signifi cantly, last in RBIs. The carcass haa been removed to san Diego, where the ' second place Padres are whetting their Instruments for further experiments on the cellar club. The Rainiers became stricken at the start of the season and were pronounced dead at Hollywood Sun day from an overdose of sleeping pills. The autopsy shows that Seattle is largely responsible for Holly wood's 3i game bulge and that the Suds have lost, among other things, the knack of hitting in the clutch. If Hollywood could get fat on the Rainiers, it seems reasonable to expect that the Padres can get even fatter, because San Diego is the league's No. 1 team in runs-batted-in. The Padres also lead the home run parade with 19. In other games tonight, Los An geles entertains Hollywood and Portland plays at Sacramento. Manager Bill Sweeney hasn't an nounced Portland's starting pitch er, but for Sacramento it'll prob ably be Bill Bevens (1-1). Other starters: Seattle (Al Gerheauser, 4-1) at San Diego, (Al Olsen, 4-1). San Francisco (Al Lien, 3-0) at Oakland (Charley Gassaway 3-0). Hollywood (Pinxy Woods, 3-0) at Los Angeles (Bob Munchief, 1-1).
