Seattle Defeats Stars Once More By JIM HUBBART Associsted Press SportswriUr The Hollywood Stars are looking toward big John Lindell as the thunderstick they need to beat their way bzck as Pacific Coast league pennant contenders. ' Whether Lindell, the x-New York Yankee, can provide the power punch Hollywood has lacked all season is a matter of conjecture. The 33-year-old outfielder bussed a lot of fences in the majors be fore he lost his touch. Even if he does produce in the Coast league, his appearance may be too late to help. The Twinks trail Oakland by 8V4 games to day, and acquiring Lindell may be tantamount to buying the horse af ter the barn has burned down. Lindell joins the Stars tonight for an eight gtme series with Seat tle. This is the one that can make or break Hollywood or Seattle, also for that matter. The Rainiers gained an even split in their 10-game battle with Oakland by whipping the Oaks. 5 to 1 last night. But it didn't hoist Seattle back into the first division.

His lifetime mark is 8-5. There were no games in the American league yesterday but the National league pitcher changed somewhat when the Bos ton Braves defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, and the Chicago Cubs whipped the Brooklyn Dodg ers, 8-5.
