Nile, Aug. 8 United Press International Something's gotta give in .that hair-tight Pacific Coast League race but the question is: Whsn ar.d how So far, ho team has been able to get hot and move ahead of the pack. Only two and a half games separate sixth place from first place which is currently being shared by three teams. Friday night's five one-run de cisions was typical of the closest race in PCL history. Ptir Of 2-1 Setbacks Last place Sea'tle knocked Sac ramento out of its seeijiingly com fortable game and a half lead with a pair of 2-1 victories over the Solons. Portland actually took over" technical possession of first place by a percentage point as it nipped Phoenix, 5-4. Vancouver stayed with the Beavers and Sol ons with a 5-4 win over Salt Lake. Fifth place San Diego clipped Spokane 3-2, and the Padres are now only two games off the pace. The first team to put together any sort of a streak could win the pennant with ease, but wheth er any of the clubs is strong enough to do it looks doubtful at the moment. Two Games 14 Hits Sacramento, which has been winning games while not hitting, was completely stifled by the Rainiers Friday night. The Sacs got just 14 hits in the two games. The Kainiers staved off a last inning rally in the abbreviated first game, Sacramento had the bases loaded with one out when Bill Kennedy came in to put down the uprising and save the victory for starter Don Rudolph, who held the Sacs to six hits over the first six innings. Dave Stenhouse fired a six-hit ter at the Solons in the second game. Seattle won it with two runs in the seventh. Singles by Lou Skizas, Bob Thurman and Rudy Kcgalado and a walk ac counted for the tallies. Roig Homers Twice Tony Roig smashed a pair of homers for Spokane but they weren't enough to defeat San Diego. Billy Hunter homered for the Padres and Jake Striker went all the way on the mound for the Pads giving up seven hits and getting his eighth win. it was San Diego's 12th win in its last 14 games. Connie Johnson, 37 - year-old Vancouver relief ace, set down Salt Lake over the last three inn ings to insure his team's 5-4 win. The loss was handed to Dick Hall III league's top pitcher. Jerry Zimmerman drove home the winning run. A three run double in the first inning by Jim Westlake enabled Portland to defeat Phoenix. Mar ty Kutyna went the distance for the Beavers and gained his llth win against eight defeats. Bobby Prescott homered for the Giants. Shriners Schedule Game Scrimmage PORTLAND (I PI' Game- type scrimmages were scheduled today for the Metro and State squads in preparation for the Aug. 15 Shriners hospital football game at Multnomah Studium. State coach Fred Spiegelberg scheduled the scrimmage for his squad at 10 a. in., while the Metros began an hour earlier. The staters spent the Friday af ternoon session polishing execu tion of plays and in the morning drill worked on team defense and punting. Coach Tom DeSylvia had his Metros working on pass defense and blocking for the passer in the Friday morning practice, while o dummy scrimmage and punt re turns were held in the afternoon drill. . Fullback Jake Jackson of Lin coln high school was back in uni form tor tlic Metros Friday, but limited his activities to running rather than risk further damage to his pulled leg muscle.

As far as their futures are con cerned, there was r.o actual loser in their nationally televised and broadcast 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden. Matchmaker Teddy Brenner an nounced today. "Ortega will meet Florentino Fernandez of Cuba in a TV light at the Garden, Oct. 16: and Paret will meet Don Jor dan in a non-title TV 10-rounder at the Garden, Oct. 23." Paret 's fight with Jordan will be a grand opportunity for Cuban Benny to try to force Jordan into a defense of the 147 pound crown, once worn so produly by Cuba's Kid Gavilan. Right now Benny is ent even rated among the top 10 contenders. Ortega is ranked ninth fiyhim Magazine, and sixth by the NBA. lar.t. 22. a well-built and speedy, upright boxer -puncher fought Friday night as a substi tute for Charley Scott of Philadel phia. , Scott found he couldn't gcr into condition in time, after he had signed as a replacement for Cu ban Florentino Fernandez, who withdrew because of a virus. It was an excellent see-saw fight in which lanky 'Ortega, 23. was generally the agressor with his wild, long-range hooking at tack to body and head. Paret attacked at times in buzz-saw fashion, but generally waited for openings so he could move in with countering close-quarter combina tions of short hooks, or he waited for targets for his sneaker rights. Judges Mike Parisi and Tommy Colon favored Gaspar on a rounds basis. 6-4 and 5-4-1, respectively. But Kcfc.-ee Teddy Martin had t ahead. 6-4. The Cn el'sdTePareni But Referee Teddy Marin had lnlcrnaticnal had it even on rounds, 4-4-2, but favored Ortega on points, 5-4. A poll of 15 ring side sports writers showed nine for Paret and six for Ortega.
