Cagy Steve Nagy exercised plenty of southpaw wizardry as he twirled Seattle to a 5-1 de cision over Oakland and dropped the Oaks a full game behind Hollywood. Nagy limited the heavy hit ting Acorns to five blows, while the Rainiers drove Al Gettel out in the seventh. Nagy bashed in the first Seat tle run with a bases loaded sin gle in the fifth, and Seattle sew ed up the game in the seventh on a hit batsman, a walk, a dou ble by Nanny Fernandez and a squeeze bunt by Bob Boyd. Nagy now has beaten the Oaks five times in six starts against them this season. Los Angeles snapped out of a slump that had Seen them win only one of their last 11, games. The Angels blanked up-and- coming Portland, 5-0, Lefty Joe Hatten, ex-Clucago Cub, allow ing but three hits. ., ' Hatten had remarkable con trol for a portsider.

"That's what some of the vet eran baseball observers have been saying about the knack of pilfering baseball sacks. The fig ures bear them out. To date, there have been only 579 bases stolen in major league play, 299 in the National League and 280 in the American. With only five weeks of the season still to go, it's unlikely the total will come near last year's aggre gate of 866." : The evidence shows that only the Boston' Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates are ahead of their 1951 theft efforts. The Bo tox, who stole only 20 sacks last season, already have 38 in the till this season while the last place Pirates with 39 have sur passed their '81 total of 29.

Salem and Waipahu, Oahu, were playing this afternoon at Takima in an unprecedented post script to a regional American Legion junior baseball tournament Salem defeated Waipahu twice last night, 4-3 and 9-5, and from all practical stand points, had wrapped up the re gional crown and a trip to the sectional tournament at Hast ings, Nebraska. However, a protest by Hawaii over an umpire's minor ruling was approved by American Le gion national headquarters in Indianapolis, and last night's second game must be replayed. So the Capital Posters, who thought they bad the tourna ment won for about 60 glori ous seconds last night, will have to win this afternoon, too, in order to gain the trip to Hastings. The protest was lodged by Hawaii coach Joseph Low in un orthodox fashion, and on a play which had no bearing whatso ever on the outcome of the game. . What's more, Salem coach Vince Genna was not notified that the game was be ing played under protest until several innings after the protest had been submitted. The whole incident started in the top half of the first Inning, with Salem at bat. Wink Pederson, first up, walked on four straight pitches. Mike Campbell, next batter, laid down a bunt to pitcher Tsutomo Oshiro of the Hawai ian team. In bunting, Campbell stepped on home plate. Buck Labis sanere, umpiring behind the plate, called Campbell out for stepping out of Jhe batter's box to hit a ball. That call was cor rect. Pederson moved to second on the bunt, and Labissanere allowed him to remain there. That call was incorrect. According to baseball rules, the ball should have been de clared dead as soon as Camp bell stepped on the plate. Ped erson, then, could not have ad vanced to second. He should have been ordered back to first. (Pederson later scored. Had the play been called properly, and Pederson sent back to first, the run would have scored anyhow, because Phil and Curt Jantze .each had solid singles with two out later In the inning. The play that was the subject of the protest thus had no bearing on the score at all.) Waipahu manager Low, after conferring with his catcher Keija Tsuhako, came out on the field to talk to Labissanere. Low said later that he vejt on the field with the inten'pa of fil ing a protest, but that Labis sanere apparently didn't under stand that he was protesting the game. ' Low, realizing that the umpire had evidently misunderstood, went directly to Earl Chandler, the American Legion national representative in charge of the regional tournament. Chandler, who had full au thority to rule on the protest, de cided instead to telephone Earl Miller, national Legion baseball chairman, at Indianapolis, Ind. Chandler and Miller talked for 15 minutes over the tele phone. After consulting sev eral sections of the baseball rule 'book and American Le gion baseball rules, Miller fi nally decided that the protest was in order, that it should be If OM1 Vis Y Ipf ; Cl&SSlC fl STRArfiHTWHBlIB I Jr. Legoomi Seirnes allowed, and that the game must be replayed. Members of the press box fraternity ' (including this writ er) learned midway in the game that Miller had allowed the pro test from his bedroom in In dianapolis. Word of the approval came to us before, we had been noti fied that a protest had even been lodged. Dave Adams, the tour nament official storekeeper, never received any notification whatsoever of a protest. Genna, the Salem coach, wasn't notified that the game was being played under protest until the fifth inning, after Sa lem had battled their way into an 8-3 advantage. Late in the game, when a Salem victory seemed appar ent. Chandler got Miller out of bed at Indianapolis again. He just wanted to double check. Miller assured bim that ' the protest should be allowed, so Chandler announced to the crowd after the game that the game would be replayed to day. As soon as Salem hurler Ken Pingle got the last Hawaii man out in the ninth inning, the en tire Salem team, dozens of Sa lem fans, parents of the players, etc., swarmed on the field in a wild celebration. Their shouts of joy were stun ned into silence moments later when the announcement of the protest was made. Genna at first announced that he refused to let his team play an extra game today, because they had already played four nine-inning games in two days. This morning, Genna an nounced in a telephone con versation to the Capital Jour nal, that his team would def initely play the game. Genna was the recipient of several phone calls and tele grams from Salem people this morning. Some of them urged that he play the game, some of them urged that he pack up and come home. "I just left it up to the boys," said Genna. "They want, to get out there and beat them again." Co-Captains For Upstate Team Named Portland U. Doug Sim mons, Astoria center, and Dick Knight, Grants Pass halfback, have been elected . co-captains by the State all-star football team for Saturday night's Shrine game against Portland all-stars at Multnomah stadium. Coach Mel Ingram pronounc ed his state team in top shape with the exception of John Har bour, Grants Pass tackle, Avho will not be able to 'play because of an injury. Saturday night's game will be the "rubber" game between State and City as the teams have each won two apiece.

Eddie Urness Out for Season With Injury The Dalles, Ore. (P) An ankle injury has sidelined Ed die Urness, Boston Red Sox bonus baby, for the remain der of the baseball season. llurness, young high school pitcher signed by the Red Sox for a reported $80,000, was sent home this week by the .Roanoke, Va., -team in the Piedmont league. Urness twisted an ankle while backing up home plate. Club officials sent him home since there are only three weeks left in the season and he would not regain full use of the ankle in time to see action again. Double No-Hit. Game Played In Pony Loop Batavia,. N. Y. W One of baseball's rarest feats a double no-hit game was turned in by two Class D Pony league pitch ers Wednesday night with Brad ford defeating Batavia, 1-0. Frank Etchberger, a Philadel phia Phillies farmhand, gained the decision over Jim Mitchell as Bradford put together a walk, sacrifice, wild pitch and an in field out for the lone run in the eighth inning. - Etchberger fanned six and walked five. The 19-year-old Mitchell struck out five and passed one. The only double no-hit game in the major league record book was turned in by Fred Toney of Cincinnati and Jim Vaughn of Chicago in 1917. The Reds broke Vaughan's spell in the 10th and won 1-0. West Virginia U's basketball team scored 100 points twice and 99 points once during the 1951 52 season. All three wins were on opposition courts.
