EIGHT MEDFOHD MAIL-TRIBUNE Friday, Sept. 14, 1945 Suds, Solons Split Twin Bill as Portland Beaten By United Press The Sacramento Solons and Seattle Rainier, who probably will open up the Pacific Coast league playoffs, split a twin bill last night with the second-place northwest team winning the nightcap 5 to 4 after bowing 3 to 1 In the opener. PCL President Clarence (Pants) Rowland announced late yesterday that the playoffs will open Sept. 25 with Portland in vading Seattle and either San Francisco or Oakland traveling to Sacramento. The two four-out-of-seven series will be fol lowed by the finals between the winners of the 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th place contests. The Beavers were all but mathematically certain of clinch ing the pennant, although their series lead dropped, half a game to seven ahead of Seattle with their 5 to 4 defeat last night at the hands of the San Diego Padres. In other PCL games San Fran cisco and Hollywood split two extra inning games with the Seals taking the opener 1 to 0 and the Stars coming back to win the finale 10 to 9. The Emeryville ball park which apparently is the place pitchers fall to pieces this week saw the tables turned from the previous night's contest when the Los Angeles Angels clicked off nine runs in one inning. Last night the Angels returned the courtesy and allowed the Acorns to make eight runs on three hits In the first three frames for a final score of 13 to 1. The Oaks got 11 free passes in the first three cantos off Paul Lammcrs and Ken Hicks, who took over the mound for Los Angeles In the second. Red Mann allowed the visitors only four hits. Seattle made a comeback after going Into the last of the fifth trailing 4 to 3. The Rainlers tied the count when Hal Patchett tripled to right as the second man up, scoring on Bob Gor bould's single to center. The winning run came In the next frame when Big Ted Nor bert hit a homer over the left field wall. LOUI8 IN EXHIBITION Pittsburgh, Sept. 14 (U.R) Sgt.

One of the biggest crowds in many a month saw the thrilling card. Georges Duselte, first man eliminated in the free-for-all, earned a draw with Harold (Blood and Guts) Davidson, sec ond man out, in the three round opener. Tex Hnger, third one ousted In the melee gave Coast Cham pion Jack Lipscomb a bad time for a round and a half but gave way to Lipscomb's superior weight and height and lost two straight falls.

Head boss man Al Simpson said he plans to hold a regulation game between the first string and second squad tonight and will get a good idea of how the club will perform under fire. The down-field blocking was good when wa were there the other night, passes were clicking fair, the line was charging good, but that run ning attack wowl Those backfield men came charging down the field like mad bulls and thoir deception and brok en field running sucked in the reserve would-be tacklers al most every time. The kids were playing football with theiz heads not their brawn All plays were run from the T-formation with Bob Watson calling plays from his fullback spot. Watson, Earl Stella, Jerry Clark, Glenn Bostwick and a reserve backfield almost as good took turns running circles around their teammates. Jim Cave, who turned In a sensational season at center last year, threw a hip out of joint about a week ago but will be ready to go soon, probably to night. Nick Greene is laid up with an infected throat but will be back the first of the week. Howard Whillock, slated for an end berth, Is out of town but was expected to be on hand tonight. Al Kirchcr still is suffering from knee trouble which will prob ably keep him out for quite some time. Had those four regulars been In the lineup the other night we imagine the Medfords would have looked even more like a tornado. The opposition, which starts off with Albany here a week from tonight, had better look as good as advance publicity claims or there may be a rout or two at the stadium before tho curtain rings down at end of the season.
