I FINE AMERICAN WHISKEY FAMOUS SINCE 1857 65 Grain Neulrol Spirit Pettit Hurls Hollywood To Victory San Francisco (U.R) Pitch er Paul Pettit, a 20-year-old southpaw with a double-barreled bank account, led the Hollywood Stars to a convincing victory over San Francisco in Pacific Coast league play Tuesday night. The moneyed moundsman, who scrawled his signature to a Pittsburgh Pirate contract In 1940 for $100,000. took credit for the Stars' 9 to 3 win, the fourth of his publicized pitching career. It was Pettit's first take of the season for the Stars. He fanned two and walked six. Scored Quickly Los Angeles scored quickly and then hung on to defeat Oak land, 3-2; Sacramento won the Iast-vs.-first battle from San Diego, 7-2, and Portland's Don Eggert caressed a grand-slam home run to pace the Bevos to an 8-2 triumph over Seattle. Pettit's adversary was Bill Reeder, a tall Texan who looked like a pitching gem when he worked a one-hit game on his first assignment opening night. Reeder looked something less than precious last night, getting relieved of duty in the second Inning. The Stars built up a five-run lead In the first two frames on doubles by Chuck Stevens and Monty Bascall, singles, by Lou Stringer, Carlos Berner, Mike Sandlock and Tom Saffell, and assorted other occurrences. Hanner Helps Los Angeles won the game in the second inning, scoring twice on Ed Lovigne's homer, Gene Bakers' double and Jack Hollis' single. Bill Moisan had Oakland blanked until the ninth but, thanks to help from Ralph Ham ner, he got the win. Johnny Ostrowski batted home four runs to pace the Solon win. Padre Jack Graham slapped his fifth homer of the year, but crafty Glenn Elliott had enough stuff to keep Sacramento in front. Eggert's grand-slammer fea tured a six-run Portland eighth Inning. Whereas the Beavers ap peared woefully weak against Oakland pitching last week, they stroked with authority against three Seattle pitchers, collecting 15 hits.

The defending champions edged Lewiston, 2-1, Tuesday night while Vancouver whipped Victoria, 7-4. This combination brought Spokane into a virtual tie with the Tyees, who have been leading the tack since the season began. Salem. Wins In other games, Salem blank ed Vakima, 6-0, and Trl-Clty took Wenatchee, 3-2. Mel Wasley's towering home run over the right field barrier in the 10th inning gave Spokane its victory over the Broncos. Wasley also batted in the win ders' other run with a single in 'the third frame. At Vancouver, the Caps ef fectively bunched their 10 hits to hand the Tyees their second straight loss. Victoria's Granny Gladstone collected a homer, a dauble and a single but he struck out with the bases load ed in the ninth to end a closing rally. Poor Fielding Aids Salem took advantage of poor fielding and timely base hits to defeat Yakima. Two of four Bear errors were responsible for Sa lem's first run. Yakima has s i g p e d a right-hander Kenny Wright, formerly with tne san Francisco Seals, in an effort to bolster the Bears' sagging mound staff. Tri-City scored three unearn ed runs in the third inning and then went on to defeat Wenat chee. The Chiefs announced the unconditional release of outfield er Stan Budin and the signing of southpaw Dave Dahle. who was with Oakland of the racinc Coast league.

Main Phone 2-2939 Jim Rivera Gets 'Rest' Philadelphia (U.R) Rookie outfielder Jim Rivera, the fleet foot whose base hits spoke with authority in the St. Louis Browns' gaudy season start, was back on the bench Wednesday with an early-bright batting ave rage ebbing in the tide. In the parlance of baseball, MarTager Rogers Hornsby said he was giving Rivera "a needed rest." In the figures in the book, Ri vera collected only two hits in his last 33 times at bat, and his batting average boiled down to a mere .172. It was above .300 early in the season. Hornsby admitted the bench ing of the widely-publicized Pa cific Coast star as the Browns broke a five-game losing streak at Shlbe Park Tuesday night. But the Rajah said he definitely was not giving up on the 29-year-old rookie who sat out the three games of the Washington series. "I still figure he's major league caliber," Hornsby said. "All he needs is a rest." Vejar Davey Mix Chlcaen (U.R) A hattlo nf brains will, depend upon brawn Wednesday night when a pair of collegians, NYU's Chico Vejar and Michigan State's Chuck Davey, meet in a professional welterweight fight in the Chi cago Stadium. Davev. who holds a master's degree in education at 26, is un- aeteatea in 32 fights and has tallied 22 knockouts. Vejar, 20 and working toward a college de gree, has lost only once in 42 battles and has marked up 32 knockouts. For their battle, which Vejar hoped would lead to a match with champion Kid Gavilan, DaVeV Was an R tn 5 favnrito That only made Vejar and his manager, Steve Ellis, happy. Both believed Vejar fought be't ter as an underdog and believed that he was a better puncher. Astoria, Ore (U.R) Astoria was named Tuesday as the site for the Veterans of Foreign Wars annual state convention to be held July 9-12.
