(AP) A sensational catch and a 13th Ihnlng two-bagger, both by a weather-beaten veteran were the rea sons Sacramento's Solons had only a two-game lead In the Pacific. Coast baseball league today. The score was tied at 4-all last night when Arnold State, second place Los Angeles centerftelder, who has been playing baseball for some 20 years In big and little leagues, came to bat in the first of the 13th. Dutch Lleber had singled before him. Statz smashed a two-bagger and Lleber came home with the run that gave the Angels a ft to 4 win over the Senators. In their half of the 13th the Sen ators got Johnny Verges on base. Conterflf lder Ray Dlefenbach cracked a scorcher Into centerflold with three bases written on the cover. Again Statz came to the rescue and snared the seeming sure hit on the dead run and the game was over. Paced by Freddie Muller and Levi McConnock, who smashed four hits each In five times at bat, Seattle overcame an early lead to defeat tho Hollywood Stnrs, 6 to 3. Seattle's win put the Indiana Into a tl for third place with the San Diego Padres, who shoved tho San Francisco Seals out of the first dl- vision by beating them, 6 to 3. with a barrage of hits, the cellar Oakland Oaks submerged the Port land Beavers. 14 to 1. The Oaks nicked two Portland pitchers for 19 hits. Although hasn't seen action In the last four gsmes. due to an In jured wrist, Medford's Tommy White, slugging outfielder. Is the Southern Oregon league's leading batter at the present time. While Leonard Patterson, Ashland first baseman and leading sticker last week, was going hltless In four trips to the plate last Sunday against Crescent city witn tne resuu iai his average dropped over ISO points. White's mark of .470 remained the same. And, It If good enough to top all others. Les Avery, Olendale Inflelder, holds down second plsce with a mark of .448, with Patterson In third and Manager Wally Rlrkert of the Cra. tare In fourth. Rlckert also holds a wide margin over all other circuit players In the matter of runs scored with IS.

Scores Yesterday Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Hot Stove League Picks Aft-Stara From S. 0. Loop Veteran Angler Catches Big One And Drops Dead JAMESTOWN, N. Y' July 18. (AP) As he embarked on a fish ing trip, Axel William Johnson, 80, said, "I'd like to catch one more fish before I give up this eport." He caught a 10-pound muskel. lunge. Seconds lster he dropped dead of a heart attack. Some of the more rabid local base ball bugs were gathered together the other night, and the talk turned to a Southern Oregon league all-star team J m Mlly Rule. which players ofvhloh clubs are tops In their respective positions. It was strictly an infor mal conlab, of course, but the air got pretty m u o h churned up as everybody had a crack at picking his mythical outfit, none of which were identical with any of the others. About the only two positions the boys all agreed on were shortstop and right field. It was unanimously believed that Ted Schopf, Ashland's hard hitting and great-fleldlng shortstop, was aces at his post, and that Paul "Hoosler" Hoffard, Medford's "grsnd old man," was the class of right gsrdeners. Arguments waxed hot and heavy over the catching spot, with Med ford's Cliff "Chief" McLean and Al Drolette, Orants Pass receiver, tab bing most of the vocal ballots, Yreka's Colt, after his grt exhi bition here Sunday In picking two men off second base and catching another stealing, was not far behind, but it was finally agreed that Mc Lean, because of his all-around abtl Ity. should be considered the cir cuit's number one backstop. First base was also bitterly con tested. Bob Smith of Medford had his supporters and Leonard Patter son of Ashland had his, with the result thst, after a long-drawn-out squabble, Patterson was awarded the Initial cushion. Principally because of a better throwing arm and better work at the plate. In the absence of any really out standing second baseman, Les Avery, Olendale shortstop, was shifted to that position. Being one of the best hitters in the loop and certainly one of the best lnflelders, he couldn't be left off, even though Schopf was considered tops at shortstop. Third base furnished a alight amount of argument, with Shelton of Yreka and Ager of Ashland running neck and neck for awhile before Shelton's su perior batting punch proved the de ciding factor. Shelton played aecond base for the Callfornlans here Sun- dsy. but third Is his regular position. For the other two outfield berths with Hoffard. the concensus was that Reynolds of Crescent City, Chuck os- trum of Orants Pass (on his good days), Tommy White of Medford and Melvln McCarthy of Orants Pass were tho other pasture aces, with little to choose among them. White, of course, was tabbed the best of the lot In the games he has played, which Is only four. The hoys named two pitchers, mid with no hesitation Mike Koll at Crescent city and Lowell Rrown of Medford. both of whom have dropped only one game this' year. Steve Crlppen. urattt Pass, and (Hen Klllott, tllendale, also were noted as being better than the nveragc run of semi-pro hurl era, but It was Rrown and Koll elevated to the top.
