J . : The scores were 7-1 arid 7-2, giving the Beavers the series, six games to 'one. Viike Di Biasi, Portland's ace chucker last year, finally regained his 1948 form and held the Angels to three hits in the first game. Los Angeles got to him for a run In the first inning, but was helpless thereafter. The run came on Wayne Terwilliger's double and two infield outs. Leo Thomas and John Bucker clouted ' nme runs for Portland, Thomas' coming with two men on base n the fourth inning. In I the seven-inning nightcap ) Joe Brovia and Vince Shupe 1 smashed homers for the Beavers, while lefty Roy Helser was scat tering seven hits to keep the An gels scoreless except in the third inning. The Angels tallied twice in that, frame through a Helser balk. Ter-. williger came home on the balk and Cece Garriott moved up to third from where he scored on Clarence Maddern's long fly. The double win made it five consecutive victories for the Beav ers, currently the hottest team in the league. They have won 12 of ; their last 14 games. Sar Francisco's Con Dempsey shut put Seattle, 3-0, in the first game of their Pacific Coast league twin bill today but the Rainiers came back to win the seven inn ing nightcap, 9-2. The split gave Seattle a five to two edge in the seven, game series. Two great center field catches by Jack Tobin helped Dempsey hold the Rainiers scoreless for his seventh win of the season. Seattle had a man on first base with one away when Tobin raced back to the wall to Snag Frank Colman's wind-driven liner back handed. On the next play the fleet outfielder made a diving, somer sault shoestring catch of Al Ly ons' low drive. In the nightcap, Herb Karpel racked up his seventh victory against two losses as Seattle pounded Hal Gregg for 12 hits. The Seals got their only runs in the fourth, when Rocco homered with the bases empty, then Reno Cheso doubled and came in on Dario Lo diginia's single.
