Then in the second contest the Seals wasted runs in winning 7-1.. Hollywood got only one tally in losing to Oakland 6-1 but made two stand up for a 2-1 victory in the second contest. Sacramento's single run wasn't good enough against San Diego's five in the 5-1 opener but the Solons also took a 2-1 second game. Same Pattern Seattle played at Portland and completed the pattern in which the home team always won the first game and the visitors the second. The Portland Beavers pre vented Seattle from closing in cn the league-leaders as Bob Al exander and , Ed Burtschey blanked , the Rainiers on three hits. Portland put three of its seven hits in the eighth for the only score. In the nightcap a four-run fifth inning by the Rainiers net ted the victory despite homers by Portland's Carl Powis and Ed Mickelson. Evell Blackwell, who gave up five hits, was the winner. ?
