Rainiers CHAMPS RALLY INI TO DEFEAT 3-2 Kewpie Barrett Pitches 23rd Victory Beavers Drop Two More to San Diego By ihe Associated Press The Seattle Rainiers sprin kled moth balls on the Pacific Coast league pennant today, and laid it away in their hope chest for another year. Their hope to keep the pen- ant in 1940, after winning it In 1939, blossomed into practical reality last night In a two-run ninth inning thriller when they squeezed past Sacramento, 3 to 2. The Rainiers were trailing the Solons, 1 to 2, in the last half of the ninth when Solon hurler Norman Kleinke yielded two singles and a walk to fill the bases. Then Ed Kearse, pinch hitting for moundsman Dick Barrett, hefted a long fly and the tying run was scored after the catch. A single by Joyner White and a centerfield error paved the way for the winning "run. The victory was No. 23 this season for Barrett. Angels Win Southpaw Ray Prim held the Hollywood Stars to six hits while the Angels drubbed the opposition, 10 to 2. The San Diego Padres moved into a third place tie with Oak land with twin bill triumphs over Portland's Beavers, 9 to 6 and 1 to 0. Bill Thomas pitch ed the opening victory in which the Padres scored four runs In the first inning. Johnny Gill got two round-trlppers for the Beavers and Art Garibaldi one for the San Diegans. In the seven inning nightcap, Jim Morris held the Beavers to three safeties. The Padres' sole and winning run came in the sixth when Garibaldi tapped Joe Gonzales for a double and scored on Steve Mesner's single. The Oakland-San Francisco game was rained out, and the teams will play a double header tonight. LIEBE GETS ATHLETIC POST AT FORT LEWIS Tacoma, Sept. 6. (JP) Ap pointment of Capt.

(P) The Cleveland Indians went on a new war path uncharted by pennant race developed into Most players attended a hotel i room session without the know ledge of Manager Vitt last night and laid new plans for today's series finale with Detroit and for the rest of the season. They were a serious and de termined-looking band after losing their second game to the Tigers, making four straight losses. Both Detroit and New York are within two games of their first place. The Indians were reluctant to discuss their council of war, which recalled previous such sessions first to demand that Vitt be fired and later to agree to forget everything but the pennant. Several players indicated this session was attended by "all but two or three regulars." Asked how they expected to carry out their plans without co-operation of Vitt, one spokes man said grimly, "If we have to do it, we'll give the orders ourselves." Vitt himself had no comment on the meeting, except to say: "I'm still working for Mr. Brad ley (Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland club) and will continue to do so as long as the arrangement is agreeable with him." New York, Sept. 6. Of) Billy Conn and Bob Pastor, a couple of Fancy Dans of the boxing ring, fight It out over the 15-round route in Madison Square Garden tonight to de cide a future opponent for Joe Louis, but when last heard from Joe wasn't worrying too much about it. The best that can be said about the chances of the Pitts burgh pretty boy or the ex-col legian from Manhattan, if tossed in there with the Bomber, is that tonight's fight should be a good match to see. For, while neither constitutes any immediate threat to the crown resting on Louis' head, thev are two of the classiest boxing men among the big fel lows since Tommy turned in his gloves, Loughran Fights Last Nighl By the Aisoclattd Press (jarfirld, N.

TOUCH SCHEDULE FACES ORANGEMEN Corvallis, Ore., Sept. 6. (JP) Oregon State college, won derlng which will be tougher, the team or the schedule, starts football practice next Thursday morning with every prospect of the smallest squad in the Pacific Coast conference. The Orangemen, picked by most of the prophets for third place in the final standings, will have a seasoned backfield fash ioned around the versatile Jim Kisselburgh, and, excepting a few graduations, pretty much the same line as last year. About 40 are expected in the first turnout. Oregon State goes to Los Angeles for its conference opener against Southern Califor nia October 5, hikes to Seattle October 19 to play Washington, after a home game with Port land university at Corvallis.

Ernie is one of those fellows who uses the old noodle at all times. He drops match now and then, as they all do, but send him in there against the same guy in return fracas and 99 times out of a 100 Ernie will reverse the verdict. Why? Be cause Ernie, in that first match, has learned all there is to know about his opponent's strength, weakness and general methods And learning these characteris tics, he applies his knowledge to means of developing a defense and offense of his own that will overcome those of his foe. And he seldom fails. Several weeks ago Nazarian defeated Piluso. Last week Pilu so went to Promoter Mack Lil lard and strongly requested that he be given the opportunity of facing the Armenian mad-man again. Nazarian agreed to the rematch, so once more Ernie will have a chance to prove he seldom, if ever, drops two straight to the same opponent. In supporting contests, Whitey Wahlberg, a Minnesota newcom er, will face Jack Hagen, and Steve Nenoff, alias Tiger Tas koff, will go against George Wagner. Nenoff is a tough guy, so the initial squabble will pro bably be a hair-raiser. OPEN STARTS TODAY Scranton, Pa., Sept. 6.
