Bill Askwith, Studs' business manager, said the local nine has a good chance to win by a great er margin. Good Ball Club He pointed out, however, the Eagles have a good ball club and is one of fastest running teams the Studs have met this year. Since the last encounter with the Eagles, the Studs have made changes in their lineup and have a new manager, Jack Cooney, who probably will start at first base in tomorrow's contest. Either Marv Scherpf or Jim Kelly probably will start on the mound for the Studs with either Dick Wooten or Howard Morris behind the plate. Probable Lineup The rest of the probable line up includes Cooney at first, Ed McCullough at second, Bob Sel sor at short stop, and Derald Wooten at third. The outfield will be picked from Terry Mad dox, Ron Maurer, Larry Bing ham, Gordon Carrigan, Bill Mc Lean and Harvey Tonn.

If their hopes are realized,' the Padres will move in against league-leading Seattle Thursday trailing the Rainiers by only half a game. . ' San Diego was involved in the only game played last night, and the Padres see-sawed their way to a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Seals. It was a contest of wild pitching, but John Car michael managed to survive for his 10th win of the year against five defeats. and a wild pitch by San Fran cisco starter Tony Ponce, but the Seals bounced back with two runs in the fourth on two walks, single and. a wild throw by shortstop Buddy Peterson.
