LSNINGER'S READY-MIX CONCRETE Sunday, August 17, I9S2 Lindell Gets Knocks From Sassy Seals San Francisco U.P.) The Pa cific Coast League's winningest pitcher mumbled into his crunchy-wunchies Saturday about the ferocious San Fran ciso Seals. "Can they be the same club that's in seventh place?" Johnny Lindell might have asked. Whacked By Seals Lindell, Hollywood's master knuckleball artist, drew the mound assignment against the sassy Seals Friday night. The huge righthander was shooting for his 20th pitching victory. But the Seals won 9-5, after knock ing Lindell from the hill with a five-run fifth inning. It was only two weeks ago Saturday that Lindell. glorying in reports he might be getting another chance in the major leagues, got his come-uppance from those same San Francis cans. The Seals blasted him out with a wild early-game flurry and tabbed him with one of his losses, the eighth of which he suffered Friday night. Increase Lead The Hollywood setback was costly. First-place Oakland tram pled Los Angeles 11-1 to in crease its league lead to games over the Stars. The Star-Seal thing was wild. It took 2 hours and 38 minutes to resolve itself. Seven pitchers saw action. And 30 hits were rapped out. In other affairs, San Diego nailed Sacramento 9-1 and Port land nipped Seattle 2-1 on Eddie Basinski's homer.

Record Safe Babe Ruth, who died of cancer at 53 just four years ago, blasted his immortal 60 homers in 1927. As of today, Hank Sauer, this year's leader, is only half way to that mark with but little more than a quarter of the season left. Bucky Harris who has done a magnificent job with the Wash ington Senators, rates old Satch el Paige as the surprise of the baseball year. "If we had him we could win the pennant," Bucky insists. "If Cleveland had him, they'd win easily. Without him, the Browns would be in the cellar." . . . Probably right on all three counts, too.
