I Picture by Paul Jenkins) Simpson Paces San Diego; His Blows Pound Portland By The Associated Press One of the loosest and most productive swings in the Pa cific Coast league belongs to San Diego's swivel-jointed outfielder, Harry Simpson. Harry belter known as "Suit case" levels on a ball in a manner reminiscent of former Coast league greats Earl Averill and Ted Williams. Last night he cannonaded a single, a double and his 22nd homer to drive in four runs in the Padres' 7-2 win over Portland. That enabled San Diego to re main seven games behind pace setting Oakland, which walloped San Francisco, 11-4. Los Angeles dropped Hollywood deeper into third place with a 5-1 trimming, and Sacramento edged Seattle, 2-1, on Nick Souchock's pair of homers. Al Olsen pitched a six-hitter against Portland for his 16th vic tory and the Padres' ninth in a row. Simpson's stickwork made it easy. Since last Saturday, the lanky flyhawk has made 11 hits in 17 trips, pulling his average up from .316 to .329. His run batted in total of 98 makes him a real contender for honors there. Only 24, Simp son seems a cinch to join Larry Doby and Luke Easter as favor ites of Cleveland's Central avenue. He's the Indians' property. Roy Zimmerman blasted five singles in six trips, pacing Oak land's 21-hit barrage against the Seals. Earl Harrist spaced 10 hits for the win, with Les Fleming get ting a two-run homer. The home run hero, however, was Souchock, who blasted one in the seventh to break a scoreless tie. His second in the ninth inning gave Sacramento's Red Evans, a "Old at 40,50,60?"

Pug SPOKANE Harry (Kid) Matthews threw only three punches last night in adding another knock out victim to his path toward a possible shot at the world's light heavyweight boxing title. The Seattle puncher disposed of John Thomas, New York heavy weight, in 1:15 of the first round of a scheduled 10-canto main event. A dynamite-laden right cross was the crushing blow.

Gas Turbines May Oust Piston Type In Autos LOS ANGELES P High speed gas turbine engines, burning cheap fuel and weighing one tenth as much as conventional types, will soon replace the piston engine in automobiles, says W. M. Brown, project engineer of the Kenworth Motor Truck Corp. Addressing delegates to the west coast meeting of the Society of Automotive engineers. Brown said turbines being tested in trucks have only 10 percent as many moving parts as ordinary motors. They also are smokeless and operate without vibration, he said. Brown's report dealt with exper imental truck operation. Other en gineers at the meeting predicted that the revolutionary power sys tem will be generally available for passenger autos within six or eight years.
