But the San Diego manager wagered and hoped his luck would hold out a while longer. O'Doul and his Padres enjoy the altitude of first place, though they seem to be descending slow ly. Oakland sliced the Pads' Pa cific Coast league margin to a game-and-a-half Tuesday night, nipping San Diego, 3-1, on lefty Lloyd Hittle's fine pitching per formance. San Francisco turned three hits Into a 3-1 victory over Portland because one of the safeties was a homer hy Joe Grace with two on. Los Angeles nipped Sacramen to, 4-3, when Gene Baker dou bled to set up the tie-breaker In the eighth. It rained at Seattle and Hollywood and the Fininicrs did not play. The appearance of San Diego as league leader was taken as a temporary thing, even to O'Doul. But Lefty doesn't plan to yield his top spot without a skirmish or two. He's added tal ent like Allen Dirhter, Herb Gorman and Lou Stringer to his squad with the idea of maintain ing the status quo. But neither those three, nor any other Padres bothered Ilittlc as he went about his workman like job. Cracker Jack Graham spoiled Ills series of zeros hy hitting a homer In the ninth. Earlier, the Oaks had picked up three runs In one-shots off Willie Luna, the San Diego southpaw. Grace, the Seals' leading slick er and among the PCL bat load ers, hit his four-masler In t ho first inning. It was the snuth-paw-swlnger's first homer of the year. With the three-run lead on which to work, Bill Bradford turned In a great effort, allow ing only four hits. The win put the Seals at the .500 mark, with 24 wins and 24 losses. The fourth - place Angels fought from behind to measure the Solons. Don Walkins, who blanked the Sacs during his three frame relief stint, got a deserved win. Bob U.shor hit for the circuit for Los Angeles. And catcher Jim MrKeegnn plopped one out of the park for the Solons. LIGHT. .f.1ILD...

In Russia, a broadcast said, everybody fishes better. The big fish story was set off by the return of a Soviet whal ing flotilla after seven months in the Antarctic. The Russian fishermen, the broadcast said, had accounted for "great ac hievements." "Vasily Tupikov, for example, killed 372 whales. A hero of So cialist Labor, Afansy Purgin, killed 333 and Georry Ofsyanni kov, 319," Moscow boasted, add ing: "The Norwegian harpooner, jMarius Jakobsen, of 20 years islanding and the best harpooner i in the capitalist countries, has during one season killed only 151 whales. "His record," Moscow calmly added, "was beaten by all Soviet harpooncrs." Purdue Star Signs Pro Pact Chicago (U.R) Purdue half back Neil Schmidt, ninth on the Chicago Cardinals draft list last year, has signed a 1952 contract, Coach Joe Kuharich announced Wednesday. Schmidt finished college a year ago and coached the Rush ville, Ind., high school team last year. He was a star at Purdue in 1950, gaining 406 yards in 101 carries and 282 yards on 23 pass receptions. inches in the discus, Oregon's Jack Smith, with 9.6 In the 100, Is the fourth best in the nation.

Oregon State's pole vaiiltcr, Lyle Dickey, Is sec ond at 14 feet Inch. Figures compiled by the con ference commissioner's office Wednesday show that USC dom inales the slate again. But outstanding threats will come in several events. Includ ed would be the nationally ranked leaders listed above, and Ken Morgnn, Washlntgon, with 1:53.6 in the flRO-ynrd run.

Second place may turn out to be an over-ambitious perch for the Senators. Rut they are looking up not down at the moment. Only two games behind Cleveland after Tuesday night's 2-0 decision over St. Louis, the Jensen Harris ticket is in the mood to claim a pennant on an early ballot. Jensen rapped Tommy Byrne for a perfect 3-for-3 night. Since joining Washington, 17 games ago, Jensen has baited .375. That brought his season average up to .314. While Jensen sprayed base hits, Harris, fired as Yank manager in 1948 basked V a new-found wealth of pitch ing. Connie Marrcro, the chubby little Cuban, did the shutout pitching for Harris Tuesday night with a four-hitter against Uhn RrAiirnc While the Yanks might have reasons to regret the deal that sent Jensen to Washington, they could point with pride to the Johnny Sain purchase and Mickey Mantle's four hits at Chicago.

Dr. Alvin Cahn of Chicago, Shlral's manager, knew at first sight when he saw Shir ai working out in a Tokyo gym that he was potentially a future champion. He was boxing to support his family of nine, who had been made destitute by war-time bomb ings. The National Boxing associa tion told Tuesday how Dr. Cahn, a botanist working with the U. S. Army in Japan, wrote a lengthy letter to the associa tion here asking for guidance on Shirai's future. His protege was not world famous then. In his letter Cahn frankly told the commission "I am not fight manager by profession but by a freak twist of fate. It is a crazy situation, but there now speaks English and a fa it is."
