Sacs Twice;
Padres Split
San Francisco, May 15 U.rD
Some self-acknowledged base
ball experts have maintained all
along that Seattle does not be
long in the Pacific Coast league
basement.
Manager Paul Richards and
his Rainiers agree.
They declare that the least
they'll settle for Is the first divi
sion and they might take the
championship.
They may be right for this
week Seattle trimmed the
league-leading San Diego Padres
four games to three.
Yesterday's double-header at
Seattle was a split, with the Rai
niers shutting out the Padres
4 to 0 in the first and bowing
to them 3 to 1 in the nightcap.
Baavars Baat Bacs
Other league double-headers
found Portland taking two over
Sacramento, 1 to 0 and 13 to 1.
Oakland dumped San Francisco
twice, once in a morning game
11 to 1, the second time In the
afternoon meeting, 12 to 8 in a
13-lnnlng tilt. Hollywood and
Los Angeles traded, with the
Stars winning the first 12 to 5.
the Angels the victors in the
second 5 to 2.
Portland moved Los Angeles
out of third place in the stand
ings, as the Beavers took their
scries with Sacramento five
games to two.
Beaver Dain Clay slugged a
homer with none aboard to rack
up the single run in the first
game. The Solons completely
collapsed in the second game,
garnering only four hits and
the single run to Portland's 15
hits for 13 counters. Clay start
ed out Portlands scoring by
slamming a double to bring in
one run in the first inning.

Babe Zaharias
Wcathervane
Golf Tournament
Cleveland, May 15 (U.R)
Belting Babe Oidrikson Zaharias
headed into the fourth and final
?g of the Women's Weather
vane golf tournament today with
a seven-stroke lead on her near
est rival.
The transcontinental tourna
ment, which began in Pebble
Beach, Cal., moved then to Chi
cago and then here, concludes
next week-eiJ at the Knollwood
course in White Plains, N. Y.
Mrs. Zaharias. who set a
course record of five-under-par
72 in yesterday s round, has a
total of 470 strokes for the 108
holes. National Open Champion
Louise suggs of Atlanta, wno
had a four-stroke lead when
they left Chicago, was second
with a 477 total.
Under orders to accept the
match or get off next Thursday
night's wrestling card, The Great
Atlas last night signed to meet
Leo Wallick in a return match,
Promoter Mack Lillard an
nounced today.
The Atlas took two straight
falls from Wallick last week and
following a dressing room squab
ble between the two which other
wrestlers kept from becoming a
fist fight, Wallick asked for the
return match.
Again it will probably be a
question of who gets his favorite
hold first the Atlas with his
deadly full , nelson or Wallick
with his pile driver.
A bout which should rival the
main event for lively action will
send Pete Belcastro, the wild
Weed Italian, against Karl Gray.
Belcastro has been hounding Lil
lard for a chance at either the
Atlas or Wallick and if he can
get over Gray, he probably will
get a shot at the winner of the
main event.
Eddie Williams, the classy Scot
who hails from Springfield, Mo.,
will meet Ted Bell in the opener,
starting at 8:30 p.m. Both are be
lievers in fast, clean grappling
and fans are in for a classy scrap.
Tickets are on sale at Brown's
cafe, 101 East Main street and
armory doors will open at 7:30
p.m. Thursday.
