For eight innings at Oakland Tuesday night, the Beavers look ed like they were going to deal the deathblow to the Acorns' all but faded pennant hopes. Oak land's Loyd Christopher opened the scoring in the second with his 20th home run, but in the fifth Eddie Basinskl tied the score with a solo four-bagger. Then the Beavers took a one-run lead. Portland hurler Harold Saltz iiinn protected his margin till the ninth, when the Oaks pyramided Ihice singles and a walk into two inns. Allen Getlel, ninth-inning reliefer, was credited with the victory. me Hollywood Slars gave Pinky Woods an early lead by scoring once In the second, twice in the third and again in the fifth, the last on four successive singles. Wood in the meantime was re tiring the Seattle lineup almost In order. He gave up only two hits in eight innings and his shutout was threatened only one. In the ninth, the Rainiers put two men on base with two out, but Woods himself stopped the spurt by fielding the final out. It was his 23rd victory. In the other southland game, Los Angeles started out on the short end of a 3-2 score after San Diego's Allle Clark homered In the fourth with two on. The Padres scored again in the fifth, but the Angeles' three-run rally In the eighth tied the game at five-all. Virgil Gnrriott's tenth innlng single drove in Gordon Goldsbery with the winning run. The San Francisco-Sacramento game was also tied up in the eighth, but the Solons broke the knot right there. They pounded Seal hurler Manny Perez for three singles and two doubles good for four runs.

Duke is a defensive mainstay, but the other two are "freshmen" who have gained their jobs against considerable competition . . . Some of the nation's most highly-publicized ends and centers were released by the Yanks to make room for Garza and Ecklund. Wilkins Is finding pro football a little on the rough side. Although he has increased his weight to 195 (he varied between 167 and IB2 last season), he is beginning to pick up injured hands and bruised legs but nothing serious. He is probably the only pro football play er in either league to play without taping - his ankles and wear oxfords . . .

Name Golfers Set for Gals National Open WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 OP) The greatest field of golfing gals ever assembled is slated to compete when play opens Thurs day for the fourth annual wom en's National Open crown at Prince Georges Country Club. Every major United States and British pro and amateur women's champion is scheduled to shoot for the nation's top female crown. Although only 55 women are expected to tee off over the 6892 yard, par-75 Landover, Md., course, every entrant in the $7500. 72-hole medal play affair is a definite title threat. Leading the list from the pro ranks are three former open title holders defending champ Babe Didrickson Zaharias of Grossing er, N.Y., the 1047 winner Betty Jameson from Chicago, and 1946 queen Patty Berg who also now hails the windy city. National amateur champion Dorothy Germain Porter of Phil- j adelphia and the three - other semi-finalists in the recent quak cr quaker city meet Dot Kielty of Long Beach, Calif., Dot Kirby 01 L&ng oeacn, iam., uvi rvnui of Atlanta and 15-year-old Mar-! lone Bauer from Los Angeles top the amateur entry. Patty Berg, who is president of the newly-formed ladies' PGA which is sponsoring the event, has expressed the sentiment of nearly all the campaigners. "There's never been a field like this in women's golf history," she said. "The winter will really be the first true American wom en's champion and I sure hope I win."

From a 7-7 tie in the first period, Compton moved into a 13 7 half-time lead when Carl Wil liams scored a touchdown from the two-yard line. Anderson had counted the first Compton tally. In the final half, Compton rolled up three more markers two by Anderson and one by Dave Sanchez on a pass from Don Bahrman. Anderson's final touch down came on a 47-yard sprint down the sidelines after he had intercepted a Hutchinson pass. Washington Senators Have Disastrous Year WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (P) The? Washington Senators have auietlv but efficientlv aone about making themselves the worst1 Washington club in 40 years. They clinched that unfortunate record Tuesday night when they lost to the St. Louis Browns, 15 to 6. If they win every game from now on out (and the odds, roughly, are 8462 to 1 that they won't), they still won't be able to win as many games as the 1919 and the 1948 Washington teams did. Each of those won 58. The present Senators have won 45 and have only 10 games to go. The Senators have won only 11 of their past 67 games, and only 14 of their last 88.

Pep, making his first defense of the 126-pound crown that he recaptured periodically from San dy Saddler on Feb. 1 1, gave Tues day night's voung challenger from New Haven a terrific bat tering and practically closed both his eyes before Referee Bill Conway stopped the bout. A crowd of more than 10,000 chilled fans gave Compo a grand ovation as he left the ring; for he had made a magnificient dis play of gameness after being floored twice in the fifth round. He was floored the third time In the seventh. But he was on his feet again, trying to fight back, when silver-thatched Con way intervened despite Eddie's protest. Pep Sharp Pep. who observed his 27th birthday Monday, never appeared ti blindingly fast and so deadly accurate as he did in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. He had been less impressive in the preceding four, but still effective enough to win the approval of referee Conway in every session. There were no judges. Going into the seventh Conway had given Willie of Hartford ev ery round, had scored 35 points for him against 20 for the 21- year-old challenger. The United Press scored the fourth round for Compo who knocked Pep into the ropes twice with hooking barrages to the body and forced the champion about the ring. Pep who scaled exactly 126 pounds after being forced to work off an extra three-quarter pound during Tuesday's weigh-in diffi culties bruised Compo's right eye so badly in the second round that it quickly closed. . Nine Count In the fifth round Willie floored him for nine with a left hook to the chin that sent the well-built. black-haired chr.llenger slithering down the ropes near Pep's corner. When Compo rose. Pep was after him. battering him with solid punches until a straight right to i i.a,in i lhe chin drooped Eddie in a neu tral corner for another count of nine. When Compo lurched -to his feet, he amazed the top-coated but shivering crowd by fighting back so desperately that Pep was unable to put him away. Pep smashed him with so many solid straight lefts and rights in the sixth that Eddie's left eye was practically closed, and he was trying to find Pep like a semi blind man. But Eddie did not go down in the sixth. However, he hit the deck early in the seventh when a left hook exploded on his chin. Again he staggered to his feet at "nine:" but he was so groggy and blinded that Conway stepped in to save him from se rious injury.
