SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March
28. (AP) Seattle defeated
the Pittsburgh Pirates. 7 to f, In
the first of a two-game baseball
exhibition series here today.
Two big Innings gave the Pac
ific Coast league club victory. In
the first Inning, the Indians
swamped the Pirates with four
rnns and put across three more In
the eighth. The National leaguers,
with Meine, Chagnon and Wood
doing mound duty, held the tribe
in check the remainder of the

Jackson Tuesday night at the
armory, when Jackson failed to
re-enter the ring after being toss
ed out with Reed's famous flying
bead scissors. Jackson claimed,
and many fans thought, that
Reed, who went out on 'he floor
also In tossing Jackson out, club
bed Jackson over the bead with a
chair while they were out in the
crowd.
Reed did pick np a chair and
they were at close quarters; but
Referee Vern Harrington by
awarding the bout to Reed ruled
that no foul had been committed,
and use of a chair as a club, un
less proyoked, would most cer
tainly hare been a foul. -
There' was plenty of action
throughout the bout, and Jack
son's previously demonstrated
grudge against Harringtott was
re-demonstrated in some haymak
ers In which there was "no fool
In." Reed won the first fall also by
tossing Jackson out of the ring
with a "sonnen plane" the Reeds
port editor claimed he bad Just

that It enabled Reed to lift the
Alaskan out across the ropeo in
the same motion. Jackson took
the second fall with a hammer
lock. Henry Jones defeated Jack
Mitchell in the one-hour bout, but
did nothing to endear himself to
the fans while he was about it.
In thefirst place Jones held up the
show for some time, due. it was
said, to car trouble at Oregon
City. Jones also had his troubles
with the referee; and throughout
the bout, he consistently roughed
Mitchell to avoid the necessity for
wrestling.
Jones won the firsf fall with a
half wrlstlock and body press,
Mitchell the second with a Bot ton
crab and Jones thethlrd with a
Deadlock and body slam.
A boxing bout between "Mickey
Mouse" and Wayne Baker tilled
In part of the time before Jones
arrived. The bout was called a
draw.
The show drew one of the big-
gest crowds m ine history of
wrestling here. There was a
"queue" awaiting tickets In the
rain at 8:15, halt a block long.
Going into the last half of the
ninth two runs In arrears, the
Pirates started a rally but It was
good for only a single score.

With prospects for one pretty

scanning weather forecasts In the
hope of finding conditions favor
able for a few workouts prior
to the opening game of the sea

two weeks away.
So far, the Parrish baseball
sauad has not been able to do
any outdoor practicing, and Hauk
visions an Initial game in which
he will have to Instruct some of
his boys whieh end of the bat to
grasp: There are some lakes on

about satisfactory playing condi

Daman, a catcher, is the only
member of the 1932 squad avail
able for this season's campaign,
but Nick Serdots, who pitched
some good ball for Salem's Am

Hauk coached last summer, is In
school and ready for action.
Parrlsh will play In the north

went through stiff schedules both

without injuries.
It Is recorded that Finney,
when he Joined the Ducks last
year, was a little weak against
southpaw pitching. So Lou. In
stead of dodging the portsiders,
hired all the left-handed young
sters he encountered to pitch to
him, and gave them a special bon

it's said Finney's hands frequent
