But the San Diego manager wagered and hoped his luck would hold out a while longer. O'Doul and his Padres enjoy the altitude of first place, though they seem to be descending slowly. Oakland sliced the Pads' Pa cific Coast league margin to a game and-a-half Tuesday night, nipping San Diego, 3-1, on Lefty Lloyd Hittle's fine pitching per formance. Homer Beats Portland San Francisco turned three hits into a 3-1 victory over Port land because one of the safeties was a homer by Joe Grace with two on. Los Angeles nipped Sacra mento, 4-3, when Gene Baker doubled to set up the tie-breaker in the eighth. It rained at Se attle and Hollywood and the Rainlers did not play. - The appearance of San Diego as a league leader was taken as a temporary thing, even to O'Doul. But Lefty doesn't plan to yield his top spot without a skirmish or two.

Catcher Jack Gra ham spoiled his series of zeros by hitting a homer in the ninth. Earlier, the Oaks had picked up three runs in one-shots off Willie Luna, the San Diego southpaw. Grace, the Seals' leading stick er and among the PCL bat lead ers, hit his four-master in the first Inning. It was the southpaw-swinger's first homer of the year. With the three-run lead on which to work, Bill Bradford turned in a great effort, allow ing only four hits. THE LINESCOKES: San Diego 000 000 0011 ' S 1 Oakland 001 101 OOx 3 S 0 Luna.

Mtdford, Oregon - Doar Stian tmnramm9: gmpn ' i inning Wednesday. May 21. 19S2 Hurler Says Eddie Stanky Steals First New York (U.R) Eddie Stan ky Is the only man who steals first base and gets away with it every time insists Yankee pitcher Bobby Hogue. "They claim it's impossible to steal first base," snorted the chubby Yankee relief ace, "but Stanky does it right under the umpires' noses." Hogue. who played together with Stanky on the Boston Braves in 1948 and 1949 and op posed him in both National league competition and 1951 World Series since then, says "The Brad" has the technique down pat. Squirms Llka Eel "He inches up and down in the batters' box," Hogue ex plained, "he squirms around like an eel . . . he crouches one min ute and gets up on his toes the next . . . he's all over the place . . . you simply can't pitch to him at all. "He's a genious at getting on base. One way or another, he'll do it. And the impires don't do a thing about it because all of his tactics are perfectly legal. "I always liked Stanky," Hogue went on, "but I hated to see him come up to hit against me in Ihe World Series. He was up to his old tricks as usual. I think a pitcher has to work three times as hard on him than on any other hitter. And the funny part about Stanky is that he's not a great hitter and prru-My never will be one."

(tiurnnt,.'ni Solons Climb As Marrero Shuts Out Brownies 2-0 By UNITED PRESS Connie Marrero, who doesn't speak much English, was put ting it on his curve ball instead, and hitters were cursing him in different languages all over the American league. Washington's cigar - smoking Cuban cutie, who is supposed to be more than 40 years old and hurls all winter in Latin-American competition when other hurlers are resting their aching bones, has been a terrific spring winner for the past two seasons. His only trouble is that he gets tired when summer comes and he runs out of gas. But in the early stages he Is unbeatable. Last year he won five games in a row before los ing on May 25. This year has been a repeat pattern. Tuesday night, in one of his greatest jobs, he held the Browns to four hits in a 2 to 0 victory that put Washington within two games of idle first place Cleveland. It was his fourth straight, without a de feat. Many Pop Ups Marrero was so effective with his curves that he struck out eight batters and all but one of the rest went out on pop ups to the infield or were out stealing. Marrero himself retired the on ly St. Louis batter to go out on a ground ball. He walked only two men. The only dark cloud on the horizon is that summer is com ing. Last year, after running up an 11-3 record, he faded and did n't score another victory after Aug. 4, being knocked out of the box on his five final appearan ces. But if the Senators can pro vide him with some vitamin-filled cigars or some other energy producing magic, they might keep right on causing trouble in the American League race. Be cause this year, Marrero has added pitching help, plus a bet ter all-around team behind him. Tuesday night, with one well timed rally, the Nats got the runs they needed to top Brownie left-hander Tommy Byrne. They bunched three of their nine hits for both runs in the second Inning. A walk to Ed die Yost and singles by Jim Bus by, Jackie Jensen, and Archie Wilson, all of them Senator new comers, etched the final score. Byrne was rescued from trou ble at other times by four dou ble plays. Sain Outlasta Sox In the only other major league game played, right hander John ny Sain of the Yankees scorsd his fourth victory against one defeat, by outlasting the White Sox at Chicago, 4 to 3.
