The defending champion Oak land Oaks, who played dead at Sacramento in' the first four games, played baseball instead yesterday and took two narrow wins, 7-6 and 3-2. San Diego, a three-time loser to Hollywood, crushed the Stars 10-8 and 7-3. The Seattle Rainlers also turned on -Jhe tormenting Los Angeles An gels for a pair of victories 7-6 and 5-4. Only jn San Francisco was there a split of the doubleheader, Portland lacing the Seals 16-11 in the first and losing the second game 74. Acorns Outhlt The Sacramento Solons outhit the Oakland Acorns in both of their games, but couldn't get the right combination. Mel Duezabou drove in the winning run in the ninth inning of the first game and Don Padgett knocked in the win ner in, the sixth inning of the nightcap. There were five home runs in the first game. i It was home run day for fair in Los Angeles with Seattle squeezing out one-run victories, both powered by out-of-the-park ' blows. In the opener catcher Sam my White got Seattle's fourth homer of the game in the 11th in ning to give the northerners vic tory. Tom Neill won the second game for the Rainiers with a two run circuit clout in the seventh. Hillls Layne had slugged out a home run earlier in the contest. Los Angeles went without a home run. . 3 Homers Hit Luke Easter, giant San Diego negro, put two pitches out of the park in San Diego to give the Padres their first two wins of the season. He hit one in the first game with a man on base and re peated the performance in the short contest. The Padras got 13 hits in each game, but had to stavc.tiff a couple of Hollywood alttp.?foho1tf-the-lfcad in the open- . jr. They won the second game with a five-run sixth inning. Pitcher Cliff Melton of San Francisco became the first double winner in the league by beating Portland in the second game. He gave up nine hits in the seven-inning stretch, however, but was aided by a six-run Seal fourth in ning. The opener, lost by sopho more hurler Con Dempsey when he allowed nine runs in the sec ond, was a scorer's nightmare as Portland got 21 hits and the Seals pounded out 18; Harv Storey of Portland hit two home runs in the contest. This week the teams change partners playing in the same parks. Oakland goes to San Diego and Hollywood comes to Sacra mento while Seattle takes on the Seals in San Francisco and Los Angeles hosts the Portland Beav ers. The Standings W. L. Pet.

Williams 3 PCL Umpires Fined for Laxity Los Angeles, April 4 IP) Three Pacific coast league umpires' pay checks are each going to be short $25 this week. PCL president Clarence Row land fined the three arbiters Sat urday night for "laxity in. han dling a game" between Los An geles and Seattle here Friday. Ed Runge, Danny Deeber and Jack Powell worked the game won by the Angels 12 to 10 but later protested by Seattle. Row land said he disallowed the pro test only because It was made too late and admitted it ordinarily would have been allowed. The umps muffed a play in the bottom of the ninth when they permitted a Lbs Angeles batter to race to first when the Seattle catcher missed a' third strike. An' other Angel runner was on first at the time and he advanced to second. t Baseball rules do not permit a batter to take advantage of the "missed third strike" rule if first base is already occupied. The nl.nv prist the Rainlers the came because a pinch hitter later bom'- ered in the inning-, wnn two out and the two men on to give Los Angeles the win.
