Bob Joyce bids for his 25th
victory of the Pacific Coast
league season as his teammates
on the San Francisco Seals enter
their "make or break" series
with the Oakland Acorns.
Both teams are tied for fourth
place, four full games behind the
third place Sacramento Solons
and 19 games behind the top
spot Portland Beavers. A clear
cut scries victory for either
might go far toward securing a
berth in the post-season playoffs
for the winner and tumbling the
loser into the second division
permanently.
In other games tonight the
Sacramento Solons Invade San
Diego, while Hollywood and Los
Angeles battle for undisputed
possession of the loop cellar.
Tomorrow night the Seattle
Rainiers begin trying to whittle
down P o r 1 1 a n d's eight-game
league lead. But even sweeping
the eight -game series would
leave the Rainiers a full game
behind the Beavers.

ish Distance Aces Gunder Hagg
and Arne Andersson said today
that they both definitely would
come to the United States for
the Indoor track season next
winter in an effort to set new
world marks for the mile and
two mile runs.
Hagg made an unimpressive
tour of the American indoor
tracks last season and failed to
win a race. He attributed his
poor showing to lack of condi
tion after the long voyage by
freighter and to unfamiliarity
with the banked turns on indoor
board tracks.
