Eugene Eliminates
Beavers Drop
Twinks Again
In P.C.L: Play
By JIM HUBBART
Auociatcd PrM SporUwriler
Lame and sore, pitcher Pinky
Wooda wa8 enroule home today to
watch his Hollywood Stars finish
the Pacific Coast league pennant
race without him.
The loss of Woods, a 23 game
winner last season, wrote another
chapter of a Hollywood tragedy in
which most of the principal char
acters have heen disposed of al
ready. The Stars not only are los
ing ball games; they also are los
ing their players. And it begin
ning to show like a spot on the
rug.
After being shelved since June 9,
the large right handcr pitched re
lief last Sunday and promptly ag
gravated his thigh injury. Mana
ger Fred Haney announced from
Portland yesterday that Woods was
through.
The announcement came just be
fore the Stars filed into Vaughn
Street Stadium to suffer their
fourth straight loss to the Portland
Beavers. The score this time: S to
3.
The setback left the Hollywoods
61,! games behind Oakland in sec
ond place. The Oaks were rained
out last night at beallie.

ine Beavers siuieu an men mua
in the first three innings. They
were outhit, 11 to 5, but it didn't
make any difference. The Twinks
never could put enough hits togeth
er at one time. Leo Thomas, newly
acquired from Kansas City, cele
brated his return to Portland by
singling in one of the tallies.
Elsewhere along the circuit, San
Francisco and Sacramento divided
a doublehearier and San Diego
handed Los Angeles its fifth loss
in a row. The score was 5 to 3.
The Seals won the second game
of their twi-night twin bill by S
to 4 when reliefer Al I. ion. struck
out Ralph Hodgin to halt a Sacra
mento rally in the ninth. The So
lons iced the seven inning opener,
3 to 2, on Jim Busby's squeeze
bunt in the fifth.
Bungling by the battery cost the
Angels their game with the Pa
dres. Catcher Ray Cash commit-"
ted one of two Seraph errors in a
first inning that produced three
San Diego counters, while a walk,
wild pitch and a balk contributed
to another in the second, ilal Sallz-
man had a shut-out going until I.e.?

Yakima Defeats
Salem Club, 20-3
By FRANK VAfLLE
(Auociatcd PreM Sporuwnlcr)
Yakima's boisterous Bears, rid
ing high with a 10-game win streak
climaxed by last night's 20-3 shel
lacking of the Salem Senators, sped
homeward today to face the chal
lenging Tacoma Tigers in the fea
ture Western International league
attraction.
The title-defending Bears gain
ed a half game on the rest of the
league last night as rain washed
out scheduled appearances of Spo
kane at Vancouver, Tri-City at Ta
coma and Wenatchee at Victoria.
Now three games ahead of We
natchee and Vi out in front of Ta
coma, Yakima is hoping to dupli
cate its performance of five weeks
ago against the Tigers. When they
last entertained the Tacomans,
Yakima swept the three-game se
ries. Such a performance now, with
the season two-thirds over, might
well doom the Tacomans' title
hopes.
Tri-City moves into Salem in the
other new series while Wenatchee
and Spokane hope to get under
way with their Canf-an foes:
Yakima left little to chance last
night, and it was well that only
188 were in the stands to see the
way they treated the Oregonians.
After Salem jumped into a two
run lead in the first inning, the
rollicking Bears ooened ud a 24-
hit attack highlighted by Jerry Zu
vella's two triples and a brace of
doubles. Reno Cheso and Dave Mil
ton also clubbed out four blows
each and every player in the Yaki
ma lineup garnered at least one
bingle. Six errors further humiliat
ed the holons who dropped from
fifth to sixth with the defeat.

Brown singled and came in on Bud
Shirtcliff's double. In the fifth two

Brown's double. Brown was the
big gun with three doubles in four

Piteo looked alive in the firts to
get the first runs of the game on
successive singles by Defferding

homer in the fifth.
It took only two inings for Suth

Roudtree sacrificed to bring
in a run and Bud Allen singled
to clear the bases of the other

in.
Firmeco's Harley Smith homered
