May 24 If the Seattle Rainiers. who've been on the comeback trial the past three weeks, had any idea of converg ing on Seal stadium to skip easily through another winning series, they certainly will have a different notion after last night. San Francisco blasted Seattle 10 to 3 last night to throw the Suds back into the Pacific Coast league baseball cellar. Hurler Cliff Melton, when he is hot, is very warm indeed. He outlasted three Seattle hurlers to go all the way for the Seals and gave up only seven hits.

All three succeeded with two coming in the fourth and the other in the seventh. It was Herrmann's fifth Far West league victory in 1950 and he received some aid afield from his teammates when the Rogues pulled off two doubleplays, their fourth and fifth of the series played at Eugene's park. In the fourth for Medford, Jack Cooney walked, went to third on John Polovich's single an oil drum in his garage for 23 gallons.
