San Francisco, Sept. 10 (UWThe
power of love, a mighty force,
kept the Oakland Acorns within a
tilf game of the San iranclsco
Seals in the torrid Pacific Coast
league pennant race today.
01' Casey Stenge), the Acorn
manager, called on the manly
pride of newly-married yill Hafey
W night and the twitterpated
Vt ill came through with his third
h(ier of the season, an eighth-Inning;
blow that saved the game.
Casey's no dope. Hafey came
b k to work after a honeymoon
a i wasn't scheduled to leave the
d gout. But in the seventh Sacra
RMfito came from behind with six
runs to tie up the game. That's
wnen Casey said, "Will, hit one
out of the park for the little wom
an." 1 The resulting blast, with Merrll
Combs on base, netted the Acorns
an 8 to 6 decision over the Sacs,
thaJrsixth straight victory.
j Seals Also Win
Meanwhile, San Francisco man
aged to maintain a half game edge
aa young Cornelius Dempsey let
the Seattle Rainiers down with
four hits to hurl the Seals to a 7
to 3 triumph.
Los Angeles made it three
Straight over Port'.and by lashing
out 11 runs in the last two innings
to down the Beavers, 13 to 5, and
San Diego bested the Hollywood
Stars for the second time in a
row, 6 to 2.
- 'Actually the Seal lead was a
technicality, since the case of the
tar-baby baseball, otherwise
known as L'Affaire Buxton, won't
be settled until Sept. 21, when the
,two teams replay the last half of
oH'einnlng. The Oaks were lead-
ng 4-a at this point where pitcher
ipn Buxton put tar on the ball,
so they have a good chance of
picking up a game.
Shirt Schedul
League President Clarence
:( Pants) Rowland made arrange-
ents satisfactory to both teams
esterday. It was agreed that Oak-
nd and Sacramento will play
their scheduled Sept. 21 game on
Sept. 20, thus leaving the Oaks
tfee on the 21st to meet the Seals
fst prior to a game between San
ancisco and Seattle.
Joe Grace hit his third homr In
three nights for Sacramento dur
ing the Sacs' big seventh frame at
Qakland. Manny Salvo was the
loser, with Floyd Speer receiving
credit for the win.

New York, Sept. 10 tU'i Bill
Meyer's success with the Pirates
this season contradicts the base
ball axiom that a manager is only
as good as his material.
This rookie pilot took a tail-
end club that had been question
ably rebuilt by the addition of
cast-offs and untested freshmen,
and he guided the nondescript out-
lit through one of the hottest
pennant races in National league
history to the challenger's rung,
which it occupies today.
Pittsburghs 6 to 1 victory over
the Reds yesterday loft the Cor
sairs only three games behind the
leading Braves and one-half game
ahead of the third-place Dodgers.
if Meyer can boost tils Pirate3
to the pennant, he will be the
first manager in modern major
league history to achieve the
top with a club that finished last
or tied for last the year be-
lore, ino pnoi nas lurnea Tne
trick since 1900.
Wind Up Last
Under Manager Billy Herman
last season the Pirates wound up
in a last-place deadlock with the
Phillies. During that campaign,
chunky, gray-haired Meyer was
managing Kansas City . of the
American association.
Because of the Corsair's dis
mal showing in '47, and because
of their uncertain "new look" aft
er the off-season "rebuilding,"
most baseball writers figured the
club would be lucky to climb to
fifth place in '48.
But the writers hadn't reckon
ed on Meyer's genius in handling
pitchers and his ability to Inspire
a club to play "over Its head."
Play Good Ball
The Pirates have played good
ball all season; and since Aug. 1
they've been going at a .676 pace,
winning 25 while losing 12. That's
a remarkable accomplishment for
a club that doesn't boast a single
.300 hitter and whose starting
pitchers include such "elder
statesmen" as Elmer Riddle, Er
nie Bonham, Fred Ostermueller
and Rip Sewell.
Meyer solved his pitching prob
lem by letting the oldsters take
plenty of rest between starts
a week If necessary.
Bill rejected suggestions that
he make an outfielder of rookie
Bob Chesne3, tne 3150,000 pitch
ing "beauty" from San Francisco,
who appeared very unlovely early
In tne season. Ana cnesnes re
warded Bill's confidence by be
coming ace of the mound staff,
with 12 victories and four de
feats.
He changed Kirby Hlgbe from
an uncertain starter to one of the
most dependable relief hurlers
In the circuit.
