Loss in Six PCL Games
(Br The JkssoclaUd PrftM)
The Seattle Ralnlers turned in
their first Pacific Coast League
victory In six games Wednesday
night, while the .Portland Beav
ers received their first setback
in as many starts.
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

Hatten had remarkable con
trol for a portsider. He did
n't get behind a single batter
until the eighth, walked his
first man In that innings, and
then in the ninth almost lost
his control completely.
He walked three men in or-
Base Stealing
Is Lost Art
' New York (P) ''Base stealing
is a lost art.
"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.

Unofficially timed for one

in two runs on the granite-hard

The records claimed Wednes

Unofficial times, yet to be veri

were 193.36 for the five mile

National Headquarters
Backs Up Waipahu Beef
By CHRIS KOWITZ, JR.
Yakima, Wash. 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."

With Injury
The Dalles, Ore. (P) An
ankle injury has sidelined Ed

bonus baby, for the remain
der of the baseball season.

pitcher signed by the Red Sox
for a reported $80,000, was
sent home this week by the
