TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Stars Nick Portland iVith Vice's Home Run By DON THACKERY United Pres Sports Writer The Hollywood Stars, who just got back from a trip to the Pa cific Coast League basement, ap parently did a little bargain hunting and came up with George Vico. The much-traveled Mr. V. signed as a free agent last week after stints with four other PCL clubs, clouted a tenth inning pinch hit home run last night to reward his new bosses with a 6-5 victory over Portland. This enabled the third place Stars to move within five and a half games of the top as the Oakland Oaks, who apparently can't read the standings, con tinued their assault on league leading San Diego. The Oaks won 4-1 las night on Jim Mar shall's two home runs. Seattle, now only two games Fathers Day Cards and Gifts 1 norm away from the top rung, took full advantage, grabbing a 3-1 decision from San Francisco while Sacramento climbed over Los Angeles to get out of the cellar on Johnny Briggs' bril liant two-hitter. Vico Hitting Vico has pinch hit three times since joining the Stars and has got three hits, two singles and last night's homer. Vico went in to bat for relief hurler Joe Trimble at the start of the bot tom of the tenth and he let the customers go home right away Earlier the Beavers drove Roger Bowman out of the box with four runs in the seventh to tie the game up. One of the runs was a homer by Carl Powls. Marshall clouted a two-run home run in the first inning and a solo blast in the third to pro vide the Oaks with the margin they needed to keep up their mastery of the Padres. Chris Van Cuyk got the win and Bob Kerrigan the loss al though the Pads outhit their tor mentors 8-6. Good Pitching Howie Juason tossed a five hitter at San Francisco to gain the win. The Rainiers were also I out-hit 5-4 but bunched three of ! their clouts in the seventh in- j ning after Maurice Fisher had i gone six and one-third frames with a no-hitter. Briggs got his seventh win of the season with his two-hitter and pitched his club out of the cellar. His mound rival deserved a better fate. Hy Cohen hurled a five hitter and the only run against him was unearned. In addition Cohen got the Wednesday, June 15 1955 Railroad Days Due At Dunsmuir, Calif. Dunsmuir, Calif.

Neil (Skip) Stahley yesterday described his prospective 1955 squad as "eager, for the most part inexperienced, but still hard-hitting." In a letter to university alum ni Stahley said an "unhealthy attitude" of pessimism and de featism "has been changed con siderably." He added, "I am not being optimistic over results merely over attitudes." But he said later in the letter the 1955 team "may well be one you will be proud to call Van dals before the fall season is over . . . these lads have a keen desire to hang onto the winning streak of four games which con cluded last season." only solid hit off Briggs, a sin gle in the sixth. Gene Mauch's fourth inning double was the one that Rufe Crawford lost in the lights. Briggs walked only one and, with the infield giving him dou ble plays, held the Angels to one man left on base.
