Los Angeles Takes Twin Bill From San Diego 14-5, 2-1 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 1 All was confusion in Pacific Coast league ranks today after a night of daffy diamond events that saw the Oakland Acorns topple the conference kingpin, Seattle, and yet lose its undivided claim on second place. For Oakland won only once, while Los Angeles, outhit in two games against San Diego, won both of them. The 14 to 5 and 2 to 1 scores sent the Angels into a clinch with Oakland In the runner-up position, 16 games behind the Rain- lers. Meanwhile Sacramento was los ing a freak decision to San Fran cisco, 3 to 2, but moving into the first division .001 percentage points ahead of San Diego. Sanity ruled in Portland where the most consistent losers in the league dropped the split-week op ener to Hollywood, 7 to 5, although they gave the Stars a five-run fright in the ninth inning. The Oaklanders, with a three run rally in the second inning sparked by Left Fielder Marve Gudat's triple, smeared up Pitch er Hal Turpin's effort to win his 19th for Seattle. The six-hit masterpiece hurled by Lanky Stan Corbett of the Oaks gave him 14 wins and three losses for the season. At Wrigley field the Angels made 13 hits off four San Diego pitchers good for 14 runs, while the Padres converted 14 bingles off Bob Weiland into only five tallies.

A howling crowd was on the grass at Seal Stadium as San Fran cisco put over its 3 to 2 defeat of Sacramento. Pinch Hitter Ed Stutz strolled in with the winning run in the ninth inning as the Sac catcher, Jim Grilk, stood by, dreamily twiddling the ball in his mitt. It happened with bases loaded, the score tied at 2-all, and the count three balls and one strike on Outfielder Brooks Holder. With the next pitch Holder dropped his bat and started to take a walk and Stutz ankled home. Not until he had scored did Umpire Wally Hood decide the pitch was a strike. The whole Sacramento team sur rounded Hood in yelping rage at the belated decision, as did a flock of Solon fans who appeared from somewhere. Hood finally changed his deci sion, but either way, the grinning Stutz couldn t lose. R H E Oakland 030 010 000 4 9 0 Seattle 010 001 000 1 t 2 Corbett and Conroyi Turpln and Camnbell.

Salem Defeats Vancouver 8-7 Spokane Indians Top Yakima Pippens 7-3 By The Associated Press Seven runs, seven hits In the seventh inning gave Salem an 8 to 7 victory over Vancouver in the Western International baseball league last night. That mathematical alliteration was the most interesting of the opening games in new series. Spo kane won over Yakima, 7 to 3, and Tacoma beat Wenatchee, 10 to 2. Salem's big inning began only after two men were out and ended with a home run by Buck Harris with a mate on base. Harris' hit was one of the longest ever made Waters park. Vancouver led during the first part of the game, scoring three times on three Salem errors in the third inning, adding two more in the fourth and scoring a final pair in the sixth. Spokane won with the aid of 13 hits, most of them in the four-run fourth inning. All the Tacoma players but one hit safely against Wenatchee. Four runs were scored in the third in ning and three in the sixth. Bobbie Garretson got two homers for Ta coma, and Danny Escobar one for Wenatchee.

Frenchie Is the most eccentrio of the 20 or more drivers who will pilot the speedy little cars. Rip Raddiff Plugs A Catcher And Goes In Part Payment ST. LOUIS When Rip Radcliff of the Browns, now leading Amer ican League hitters, first came up to the Athletics in 1934, Connie Mack was looking for a catcher. Radcliff recommended one named Errickson. who was with Louis ville, and quickly found he had talked himself out of a big league job. He went to the Colonels in the deal. NINE RIGHT FIELDERS NEW YORK The addition of Pete Reiser to the Dodgers makes the ninth right fielder the Brook lyn club has tried this season. The Reds used eight left fielders last year. Frenchie Dubois, 1939 Canadian1 champion from Montreal will be one of the internationally famous drivers who will appear at the fairgrounds track Saturday night. Frenchie is the type of driver who gives you a thrill even if he is on the track by himself.. The dare-devil French-Canad ian has worked out a system all his own which has won him many races and the Canadian championship.- Frenchie roars down the straightaways and takes the curves high and outside. Frenchie drives further than anybody else on the track but claims that staying on the outside of the curves gives him a better chance on the straightaways. How he stayii on the track is something the other drivers have not been able to figure out. The Saturday night meet will be the third to be held this sum mer on the fairgrounds track. All three of the meets have been un der the joint sponsorship of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Bobby Rowe, northwest sports promoter. Both previous meets proved very popular, attracting crowds of around 5,000. Vancouver. Caps Sign Ex-Senator Pitcher SALEM, Ore., Aug. 7.
