MAIN AND RIVERSIDE Phone 2-6189 first baseball In the Mormon country of Ogden, was tired but philosophic about pitching the best but losing game in the Pacific Coast league in 14 years. Singleton curved and fast balled his way through 12 13 innings of no-hit, no-run base ball last night. But in the 13th, Elmer grew arm weary, gave up three straight singles and lost the ball game to Sacramento, 1-0. Three Days Rest The mound veteran, unbeaten In three starts, worked against the Solons with but three days rest. He pitched and won for the Seals Sunday. Singleton issued three bases on balls, one inten tionally, during the 13 frames. He struck out seven. Four other clubs were extra-Inning minded. Sammy Chapman singled in the 10th to gain Oak land a 3-2 win from Seattle; and Jim Russell blasted a 380-foot homer in the 17th to secure Port land a 6-5 triumph over Los An geles. In a regulation game, Hollywood tallied nine times In the fourth inning to liquidat San Diego, 9-0. Near Record Singleton came within one out of tying the all-time PCL record of 12 23 innings of no hit, norun pitching, set by Dick Ward, of San Diego, on Aug. 30, 1938. Ward eventually beat Los Angeles, 1-0, In 16. Singleton had the misfortune to oppose tough Jess Flores, who spun an eight hitter and was stingl in the clutches. Flores earlier this year came within one pitch of notching himself a no hit, no-run game.

SO COME OFTEN AND INCREASE YOUR CHANCES (In case of ties, prizes will be divided equally) ELROD'S TROUT FARM 4 Miles West of Talont on Anderson Creek Fast Early Pace Shown By Red Sox By UNITED PRESS The Boston Red Sox, almost unnoticed so .far in the furore over the surprising showing of the St. Louis Browns, were blaz ing along at their fastest early pace since 1948, the last year they won a pennant. It could be that the Red Sox, and not the Browns, will turn out to be the "surprise" outfit of the year a "team of des tiny" fashioned by Lou Bou- dreau out of raw rookies and a handful of powerful veterans. Big Shots Benched Boudreau, . who never did things according to the conven tional rules anyway, has been benching such big shot talent as Ted Williams, Vern Stephens and occasionally Johnny Pesky and Billy Goodman, and he's getting away with It. He knows that Williams will be lost to the Marines next week anyway, and he also knows that in past years the Red Sox frit tered away great opportunities in the spring and lost ground they never could make up. Two Key Wins Against the World Champion Yankees, still the team that has to be knocked down In the long run, the Red Sox put on the pressure and won two key games in a row. Thursday, winning their ninth game against only two losses so far, the Red Sox came from be hind to top the Yankees, 3 to 2, in 11 innings. In the only other game played Thursday, the Braves wiped out a 3 to 0 deficit with a three-run rally in the eighth, then went on to beat the Giants, 6 to 3, in the 10th as rookie reliever Lew Burdette pitched five scoreless innings. .

Cusick tried to score from first on Gene Conley's hit to leftfield in the second inning of game at New York. Giant leftfielder Hank Thompson's throw to Westrum was in time to nab Cusick. . .
