Eight of the conference's 10 members will compete in a full slate of from five to 10 games each, and for the first time since 1943 there will be at least a modified renewal of competition between northern Acorns Welcome New Pilot With Victory Over Seals By United Press Billy Raimondi got off to a fly ing start as manager of the Oak land Acorns last night as the Oaks nosed out the San Francis co Seals 3-2 in the Pacific coast league feature contest. Raimondi, who took over the reins from Dolph Camilli, col lected two singles in two trips to the plate. In all the Oaks col lected eight hits off Frank Sew ard and Tony Buzolich to give Red Mann his sixth victory. As Seattle and Portland idled Manager Buck Fausett of the Hollywood Stars drove in the 11th inning run that gave the Twinks a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Fuusell crashed through with a single to center field in his first trip to (he plate . since he pulled some rib muscles two weeks ago. The Sacramento Solons drop ped to fourth place in losing a 5-4 decision to the San Diego Padres, who notched their winning run in the second on Jack Dunphy'.f single, a sacrifice by Tony Cris cola and a double by Lou Vcs selich. Meantime, General Manager Vic Devinccnzi of the Acorns ac knowledged that "pressure was brought to bear" in the so-called resignation of Camilli, "Things weren't going well within the club," Devinccnzi said. "We've had trouble staying on the winning side, and Camilli , didn't see eye to eye with the rest of us quite often." . Camilli told reporters' flatly that he "didn't quit." "I was fired, and the club own ers know it," he asserted. "If they want to say I resigned that's their business. Sure, I was asked to resign, but that doesn't mean anything."

Tigers Move Into League Lead As Solons Nip Yanks NEW YORK, June 13 (UP) If John McGraw were alive today and could spare a moment from his worries over the collapse of the Giants, he probably would pick the Detroit Tigers to win the American league flag. It was McGraw, the little "Na poleon" of the majors, who pro vided the proverb "You've got to win the close ones to win the pennant." And that is the way the first -place Tigers are going. They a'."..' a fairly safe bet whenever they get into a close game. They won their 12th low-score game yes terday, beating the Browns, 2 to 1 in 11 innings at Detroit. ' Yanks Take Close Ones Among the other clubs, only the Yankees have been consist ent winners in sweating out the close ones. They have won sev en out of 10 games by one-run margins. Cleveland has won nine of 17, Washington seven out of 13, Boston is even up with six and six, the White Sox five out of 13, the A's four out of 13 with the Browns bringing up the rear. Fears that Hal Ncwhnusor, left-wing ace of the Tigers, wasn't up to his 1044 form were dis pelled when he won his eighth game against four defeats, put ting him exactly even with his record at this stage of the race a year ago. He was a miser in the pinches, stranding 13 men on base, as he outpitched Jack Kramer. Leonard Beats Yankees Emil (Dutch) Leonard, who makes the second division Sena tors look like champions when he pitches against the Yankees, beat them for the second time in a week, 5 to 3, knocking them out of the lead.

The Dodg-ers beat the leading Giants, 7 to 4, at Brooklyn to move within a game and a half of first place. Rookie Vic Lom- bardi gave up seven hits to win hi:; fourth game. The second place Pirates ad vanced to within a game of the Giants by topping the visiting Cubs, 0 to 3. Pitcher Al Ger- heauser kept Chicago at bay all the way and paced the attack with four hits. The Phillies, still going in re verse, lost their 15th straight, 10 to 0 at Boston, to set a new club record, lor consecutive defeats. Cincinnati and St. Louis were rained out.

Complete Local Reports Wednesday, June 13, 1945 Today's Sport Parade By JACK CUDDY- NEW YORK, June 13 (UP) A new murderers' row1 in the major leagues operating under the skull and bones of the Pitts burgh Pirates is ready now to wrest first place in the National circuit from the faltering Giants. The Steeltown Bucanecrs arc only one game behind the lead ing New Yorkers,, and they're swashbuckling along. . Their chief, Frankic Frisch, keeps his fingers crossed because during the five previous seasons that he helmed the Pirates, they never menaced the National cir cuit flag. True, they did wind up in second place in '44; but they were 14V4 games off the pace set by the champion Cards. According to the latest aver ages, the Pirates lead their cir cuit at the plate with a club batting mark of .275. They arc first in hits with 415, first In tuns scored with 232, first in runs battpd in with 213, and first in doubles with 77, and in triples with 18. The Pirates have menacing potential power.. If you include legularS, utility men and substi tutes who fill In frequently in the 'pinches," : Frankio has six batsmen with averages that range from .300 to .424. They in clude Lee Handloy, now playing regularly after arriving late and who has fashioned the .424 mark; Tommy O'Brien, .345; rookie cat cher Bill Salkeld; .320; rookie Al Gionfriddo, .328; the ex-Yank-je veteran Jackie Saltzgaver, .320; and olstcr Bob Elliott, ,300. Afield,, the Pirates would not cause inspired baseball writers to compose sonnets about the poetry of motion; but they have what appears -to be adequate pitching.- Their mound staff is led by Truett (Rip) So well, the "blooper ball" expert, who has seven victories.

Big League Moguls Active As Period For Swaps Wanes CHICAGO, June : 13 (UP) Manager Charlie Grimm of the Cubs was shopping for a pitcher, the Yankees arc after Jeff Heath and several other deals were brewing today with the major league deadline for trades only two days off. Friday midnight marks, the final hour that big league clubs can trade or purchase players, although they may continue to get them from the minor leagues or pick up discarded performers vja the waiver route. 'All teams, still-suffering from tho manpWor pinch, are anxious to swing swaps, but nobody wants to give anything away which has the makings of a stale mate. - Yankees Need Slugger The Yankes admit they would like the Cleveland Indians' Heath hitting for them in Yankee stad ium. Tho 29-ycar-old outfielder smacks a long ball and would fit perfectly into their big, horse shoe ball park. Heath, after hit ting .331,' for the Indians last sea son, was a holdout in Seattle unsigned.- , ' ' til Wednesday when ho- finally Always a bit recalcitrant, Heath's main' reason for 'stalling this season, according to reports, was that he -wanted to be traded. It's still possible, .with the' Yan kees in second place and needing extra bat power, that 'he may get his wish before 12' o'clock- Fri day night. . Cubs Also Need Hurler . . Grimm has four of' the best catchers in the National league and he's ready to:, swap ' one , of them for a winning pitched The Cubs have skidded Irom first to fifth place mainly because .of tho need for another tatarting iiurler. With Lefty Bbb Chiprhah expect ed to be called- into service with in a month, Grimm is-trying to talk someone out of a pitcher. Dick Sicbert, the Philadelphia A's heavy hitting first baseman, reportedly is on the block as a result of Connie Mack's house cleaning campaign. The A's also reportedly are in terested in Heath and Sicbert may be the kicker in the deal since Cleveland's present first baseman, Mickey Rocco, also can play the outfield. : .Jlospilal Notes .
