Twin Win
Oakland
San Francisco, Aug. 4 UR
The Oakland Acorns are giving
evidence of sprouting into a sub
stantial roadblock to the Holly
wood Stars.
Last year's champions, who
spent the first half of the sea
son on a treadmill, have sud
denly turned into a powerhouse.
The Oaks knocked off the Port
land Beavers twice last night
and moved into, second place.
They replaced the Sacramento
Solons as the latest "hop" to
displace the Stars for the Pa
cific Coast leadership.
Charlie Dressen's charges
stemmed the uprising Beavers
10-5 and 8-7, while the So
lons, erstwhile challengers for
Hollywood's spot, were drop
ping a pair to the San ' Fran
cisco Seals. Sacramento lost
4-3 and 8-6 in a couple of the
worst - played games of the
season.
The Stars capitalized on the
change of challengers. The Stars
lost to Seattle 10-2 but retained
their six and a half game mar
gin. The San Diego Padres, an
earlier threat to the Twinks,
pulled up to ' the even-Stephen
mark by beating Los Angeles
8-5.
Oakland make the hop into
second place, by bunching
their hits. In the first game
the Acorns lashed out with a
seven-run rally in the fourth
to take the lead and the game
away from the Beavers. In
the nightcap the Oaks staved
off a last inning rally by Port
land to preserve a lead that
was built up in the seventh
when Earl Itapp broke a tie
with a two-run homer.
San Francisco continued to
hold the Seals stadium jinx on
the Solons. The Seals won their
ninth straight game from the
Sacs in the park. In the opener
the Seals got only two singles,
but utilized Sacramento errors
and walks for the necessary four
runs. The second game, replete
with five boots, was called after
eight innings because of the time
law. The Seals virtually clinched
the game in the fourth with a
rally of four unearned runs. The
two teams made nine errors in
the two games.

Burgher Returns
To Salem Team
From Portland
George Emigh, business mana
ger of the Salem Senators, dis
closed Thursday that Bill Burg
her would be returned to the
Solons ior possible work against
Victoria.
The catcher moved up to Port
land at the end of the 1948 sea
son after catching for Salem.
The reason for his return, ' ac
cording to Emigh, is to give him
work behind the plate. He has
seen little- action in Portland.
With his return, it is likely
that "Swede" Carlson, who has
subbed for Bill Beard in games
this season behind the ' plate
will be returned to some Yankee
farm club.
'What Fat?' Highly indig
nant when a London reporter
suggested she was to fat, "Miss
America," Bebe Shopp, 18,
quickly replied, "What fat?"
Miss Shop is on a 33-day cru
sade through Europe for "clean
thinking and bona fide bos
oms." Of falsies, she said: "I
don't wear them and never
will. Falsies aren't honest."

Invaders Stifle Salem Rally
With Triple Play in Second
The Salem Senators, playing before the second largest
crowd of the season 3146 paid customers, knuckled down to
baseball Wednesday night and slapped down the Victoria
Athletics, 4-1.
Bob Drilling went the route for the locals and set back the
Canadian crew on his seven hit
ter which was supported by top
fielding of the Salems.
The fans, lured to Waters
park to see Funnyman Al
Schacht perform, saw a hot Sa
lem rally snuffed off in the
second by the third double play
ever effected at the local gar
den. Mel Wasley led off the Salem
half of the inning with a double
which bounced off the center
field fence. Bill Beard walked,
and Orrin Snyder, in the left
field garden, clipped a sharp
double into the area he covered
on defense.
Snyder's blow scored Wasley
and moved Beard to third.
Claude Buckley tagged one of
Pete Vucurevich's fast ones for
a single, scoring Beard and mov
ing Snyder to second.
Drilling, out to help his own
pitching chores by offensive
play, slammed the next pitch
for a single which brought Sny
der home.
Then, Victoria lowered the
boom. '
Marty Krug clipped one
which was taken by Vic Buccola
and flipped to Ray Walseth for
a triple play which snuffed the
Salem attack. After that inning
Vucurevich settled down to hold
the Salem sluggers.
Both teams scored one each
in the fifth.
Gil McDougal was forced.
from play in the fourth inning
when he sustained a cut sliding
into home.' Beard effectively
blocked the plate on the play to
nullify his attempt.
Bob Hedington, normally in
the lineup for Salem, will be
out of play for several-days as
the result of a bad ankle, injur
ed when he stepped on a mask
at home plate Tuesday.
Ihe final of the six game
series, and the last appearance
for the Athletics in Waters Park
this season will be played at 8
p.m. Thursday. Friday, thp
Vancouver Capilanos will move
into the local pasture for a
week-end series.

Dodger Pitching Works,

New York, Aug. 4 (U.R) Some
body finally solved the Dodger

the once-scattered pieces togeth

For most of the season, even
as Brooklyn led the National
league, the Dodger pitchers
seemed on the payroll simply
for comic relief plenty of com
edy and plenty of relief. But
yesterday trim Carl Erskine
hurled to a six-hit 10 to 5 romp
over the Pirates and thus became
the fourth Dodger pitcher to go
the distance in as many games.
All four won.
Don Newcombre was the
first to do it, then Ralph
Branca, then Rex Barney and
now Erskine. Newcombe takes
another crack today and
still under wraps are the two
leftys, Joe H a 1 1 e n and
Preacher Roe,
The Doger triumph yesterday
still left Brooklyn a half a game
out of the National League lead,
for Howie Pollett shut out the
Boston Braves on four hits, 7 to
0, to protect the St. Louis Car
dinal margin.
The five-hit pitching of Dave
Koslo gace the Giants their sixth
a row, this a 4 to 1 triumph
over the last-place Chicago Cubs.
Meanwhile, lefty Ken Raffens-
berger gave up only two singles
as he hurled the Reds to a 2 to
