(By Tho Asoclated Press)
The unpredictable ' Coast league
race, with six teams playing better
tLan .500 baseball, was further snarl
e.l today.
Three teams remained a game and
a half out of first place, as the lea
cueleadinK Purtland Beavers dropped
tlicir third iu a row to Los Augele&
10-4, and second place Seattle took
its third consecutive licking from the
San Francisco Seals 42.
Oakland and San Diego moved up
on victories over the San Francisco
Missions and Sacramento by 2-1 and
6-1, respectively.
Collapse of their pitching staffs
brought defeat to Portland and Seat
tle. Bill Posedel yielded eight runs
hefore he wss chased ' by Los . An
Belesj and Hobo Carson had to finish.
Meanwhile, Joe Berry held the Bea
vers hitless In seven out . of nine
frames. John Bottarini hit a homer
and two singles to lead the seraph at
tack. Ed Wells yielded the Seals hits' in
every inning, whilo Win Ballou pit
ched smart ball, allowing eight hits
inly five of which went to the out
field. Hal Ithyue, Tony Boroja and
Darry Woodall got nine of the Seals'
10 hits.
Mnneger Dutch Ruether was not al
lowed on the field at the start of the
game because a league fine of $50
remained unpaid. Bill Kleppcr, presi
dent of the Seattle team, produced
the money nil in small change
which was presented Umpire Harry
Leake in a sack. Rcuther was then
allowed to coach.
Oakland measured the Missions for
Ibe third straight night in a pitching
duel between Jimmy Tobin and atu
dious Wayne Osborne. Osborne caus
ed his own downfall in tho eighth,
when leading 1-0, he hit and walked
two batsmen, who scored on singles
ly Jimmy Hitchcock and Jack Glynn.
Tobin, who restricted the ltcds to
fur hits, scored the winning run.
Sacramento's brilliant rookie, Henry
Pil.pen, saw bis winning streak of 10
consecutive games broken by Sen
Diego. Old Herman Pillctte turned the
trick, holding tho Sacs to four blows,
including Frank Morehouse's' second
homer is as many games.. Vine De
niaggio hit a homer, but Chick Shi
ver, San Diego's odd-fielding pasture
tender, took batting honors with a
tilple and two singles in four trips.
