Portland Grabs Holiday
Twin Bill From Oakland
By United Pren
Displaying the brand of base
ball that has put them in top
spot in the Pacific Coast league,
the Portland Beavers took both
games of their holiday double
header at Oakland, shutting the
Acorns out 6 to 0 in the opener,
and grabbing the nightcap 3 to 2.
Angels Split
Los Angeles and Seattle came
out with one game each in the
southern city, the Angels taking
the opener 4 to 3 and the Rain
iers winning the finale 5 to 0.
Sacramento and San Francisco
likewise split their doublehead-
er, the first going to the Seals
5 to 0 and the second to the So
lons 4 to 3, while Hollywood
won two from San Diego, both
by a 3 to 2 score.
Liska Wins
Veteran Ad Liska pitched a
two-hit game as Portland blank
ed Oakland in their first contest,
while the Beavers got to Floyd
Stromme and Sam Gibson for 12
safe blows. They made the only
run they really needed in the

first, when Frank Shone, Spen-
cer Harris and Charley English
singled, and Stromme walked
Ted Gullic to force in Shone.
In the short nightcap singles
by Gullic, Johnny O Neill and
Pitcher Roy Helser netted one
tally, and another came in the
fifth when an error by Frankie
Hawkins on Spencer Harris' fly
ball brought in Larry Barton,
who had singled, all the way
from first. Gullic's single, in the
sixth, followed by Mel Nunes'
two-bagger hit, accounted for
the clinching run.
Angels Break Tie
Los Angeles broke a ninth
inning tie to stop Seattle in the
opener and give Pitcher Red
Adams his tenth win of the sea
son. Joe Demoran, Glenn Elliott
and John Orphal performed on
the mound for the Rainiers, with
Orphal charged with the defeat.
Hal Patchett's single to right
brought in Seattles tying run
in the ninth, and Pinch-hitter
John Moore singled in Guy Mil
ler to end the game.

CRATER LINEUP
TO BE REVISED
Manager Paul Freer of the
Medford Craters said today he
will revise the batting lineup for
Saturday night s Southern Ore
gon baseball league game with
Klamath Falls Marines. Freer
said several changes will be
made In an effort to get more
power into the lineup.
Steve Crippen, veteran pitcher
and first baseman, will probably
start at first base in place of
Homer Sullivan, who is in a bat
ting slump. George Gitzen, who
is as good In the outfield as he
is behind the plate, may be
shifted with Freer doing the
catching. The whole batting
order is expected to be revised
in an effort to bunch the power.
George Barr, who has been
nursing a sore arm since his only
starting chore against Central
Point the first of the season, will
be called to the mound against
the heavy-hitting Marines. "Red"
Davis will probably start against
Ashland at Ashland Sunday, also
a league game. The Marines
play at Central Point Sunday.
Navy at Butte Falls, Sunday,
rounds out the league schedule.
