Hollywood and San Diego, as expected, were running one-two in the chase, with San Francisco a close third. Sacramento, as pre dicted, was down in the base ment. However ,the surprise was the poor showing of the Oakland Acorns after playing 13 games. The Oaks have won only four and their pitching appears to be iust about the worst in the loop. However, Owner Brick Laws has been assured he'll get some mound help from the New York Yankees in the near future. Meanwhile, the teams square off again tonight, with Holly wood at Portland to test the sur orising Beavers, Sacramento at Los Angeles and Oakland at Se attle. San Diego invades San Francisco. Last night, the Beavers defeat ed Oakland for the third time in a row, 12 to 6. for their fifth win in the six-game series. It was the worst performance so far this season for the hapless Acorns. The Beavers went into a 2 to 1 load in the third inning and were never headed from then on. In the next frame Oak Pitcher Earl Jones was replaced by Forrest Thompson. Beavers' Bob Cher ry, Vince Shupe and Eddie Bas- msKl promptly slammed out three consecutive doubles to tote up four more runs. The Oaks put four pitchers in to the fray, with Jones getting credit for the loss. Red Adams was winning pitcher. Louisville.
