Seals Held to Three Hits,
But Defeat Portland, 3-1
By PAUL CANE
San Francisco (U.ra The wheel
of fortune, its little white hall
starting to plop in the wrong
places, went spinning around
Lefty O'Doul's head Wednesday.
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.

Fishski Story
London Wi Moscow Radio
sounded a few loud sneers Tues
day at the achievements of capi
talist fishermen. 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."
