San Francisco. 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.
Portland Winner 12-7

heavy-handed Joe Brovia con
nected for two home runs to lift

in the eighth inning and wiped
out a one-run Angel lead.
Portland hit succesfully live
times in that frame, including a
three-run circuit by Brovia and

Los Angeles used six hurlers,
including their ace Cal McLish,

Squeeze Plays Work
Player Manager Tommy Nel
son of the Rogues crossed up the
opposition as he has several
times this season by calling for
squeeze plays, three times last
night. 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

gallons. What angered him was
that the thief stole Piechowski's
watch dog, which had been chain
ed in the garage to keep thieves
from stealing the oil.
