Cellarite Beavers Smack Oakland in Doubleheader, 3 -2 and 8-7 New Amateur Golf Champ Orrell and Fitzke Fling Seo ond Fray Leading Sol ons Beaten by Angels. By lb Associated Press Th Portland Beavcrt ara p- Krently tired of running along hind the Pacific Coast league baseball pack. Th Inspiration of playing ba ton horn fans may hava some thing to do with It, but whatever the explanation, the Beaver are making their bid to finish the season out of the cellar. Last Night, the PorUanders nosed out Oakland by one-run margins In two abbreviated games. The first game went seven innings and ended 8 to 2, while the second contest ended In the fifth, 8 to 7, because of the league rule that forbids starting an Inning of play after 11:90 p. m, Oakland collected nine safe ties off Ad Llska in the opener as Henry Pippen held the Beav ers to five hits, but the breaks were with the winners. Win Early Portland batters recovered In the second game to pound out four hits for a five-run lead in the first inning. In all the Beav er collected 11 hits to 10 for the Oaks, who nearly won out in last Inning rally in which they scored three runs on five hits. Each of the ether league games were decided by one-run margins. The second-place Los Angeles Angels used a four-run rally in the fifth to nose out the Sacra mento Solons, league paceset ter, 6 to S. The win put the Angels within a game and one half of the Solons. San Diego, playing at San Francisco, also outhlt the Seals S safeties to 7, but dropped a decision 3 to 2 as the host team took advantage of a few lucky breaks.

The long-tailed Whlrly, own ed by the wealthy Warren Wright, the Kentucky and Chi cago horsebreeder, happens to be a stretch runner of great fame.

Yesterday Ray Starr, the lean spellbinder of the Cincinnati Reds, pitched three-hit ball and was beaten 2-1 by the pitiful Phils because two outfielders collided under a fly hit by Pitcher Frank (Rube) Melton and the ball fell for a home run. On the other hand Vern Ol sen, the Chicago Cubs' south paw, was pummeled for 11 hits by the New York Giants and not only escaped with his sixth straight victory but scored shutout. 3-0. Starr's misfortune came In the fifth Inning just after his teammates had given him a 1-0 lead. The 36-year-old rookie had walked Catcher Benny Warren of the Phils and then Melton lifted a long fly to left center. Outfielders Max Mar shall and Harry Craft raced for it and knocked each other to the ground. The ball rolled away for a homer and time had to be called and stretchers, too before the game could con tinue. At Chicago the Giants got men on base In every Inning and made hits in the first eight, but they never were able to break through Olsen for a run. The Cubs, made three less hits off two New York pitchers, but Lou Novlkoff singled home two tal lies in the fifth and the Cubs scored In the eighth on two singles one of the scratchy sort. . Cards Win At St Louis Mort Cooper had luck of a different sort. He was bitted out of the box for the third time in succession, but the Cardinals rallied spectacularly to beat the Boston Braves, 7-5, in 11 Innings. , Brooklyn punished the Pitts burgh Pirates 8-1 with Whitlow Wyatt pitching three-hit ball for his tenth triumph of the year in a night game that drew 21,294 fans at Pittsburgh. Wyatt's path was made easy when Billy Herman doubled with the bases loaded In th ' first inning for three runs. In the American league, the New York Yankees downed the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on the two hit hurling of rookie Hank Borowy and extended their first place margin to six games as the Boston Red Sox absorbed another beating by the St. Louis Browns, 3-2. . wt - 4.-rtt 4 1 aimp II Imt - ZVAFi PLAYER OF THE YEAR 'Ted Williams.
