Newspaper Page TextPads Regain Tie for PCL Lead; Seal Pitcher Hurls No-Hitter By UNITED PRESS The San Diego Padres roared back into a tie with Seattle for first place in the Pacific Coast League last night with a 15-hit, 8-1 victory over the Rainiers in the opener of their five-game eries in Seattle. In San Francisco, George Pik tuzis pitched the first no-hit game of the season to give Los Angeles a 2-1 win over the Seals. San Francisco reached the 23-year-old left hander for a run in the seventh Inning on a walk, an infield out, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly. In other ganvs, Hollywood defeated Oakland, 3-1, behind Ben Wade's five hit pitching and Sacramento squeaked past Port land, 3-2 to climb into seventh place ahead of the Oaks. A ladies night crowd of 14,639 that overflowed into roped off sections of the outfield in Seat tle gloomily watched Eddie Erautt (12-6) hold the Rainiers to seven hits and break their brief monopoly on first place. 123 Strikeouts San Francisco hitters couldn't get anything remotely resem bling a hit off Piktuzis (7-10). The young fast-baller walked three and fanned nine to run his season strikeout total to 123, tops for the league. The Seals temporarily tied the score in the seventh when Mike Baxes drew a walk, went to second on Bill Serena's infield out, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Walt Jud nich's sacrifice fly. Portland lost a ball game and a catcher last night. Sam Calde- rone, first string receiver, suf fered a broken ring finger on his throwing hand when struck by a foul tip. Sacramento scored twice in the first inning, mainly as a re sult of Jerry Streeter's fly ball which left fielder Luis Marquez lost in the early evening haze. It fell for a triple. The Sacs scored the winning run in the eighth after Streeter's single went through Marquez's legs. Winner Chet Johnson (6-6) gave up 10 hits while loser Red Adams (7-6) yielded eight. CHENEY STUDS TAKE ON ELKS HERE SATURDAY; SUNDAY FRACAS AT GP Medford Cheney Studs and Grants Pass Elks contend this week end to break their fourth place deadlock in the Southern Oregon Baseball league. And third place or a share of it could be the prize if either club can cop a series sweep. Conflicts will be at 8 p.m. Sat urday at the fairgrounds here and on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Grants Pass High school field. While the Studs can't take anything for granted and must take into consideration the long time tense rivalry between the two Rogue valley cities, several things add up in Medford's fav or for the series. Among them are an apparent new spirit on the squad and a display of hustle. Then the Studs have turned back Grants Pass in all four meetings in league and non league tussles. Other loop activity this week "Tail ffffir4 will get 10 more year for having pleasant dreams about that foreign OLD Mr. BOSTON VODKA." no : $040 ten-tale 0'i9T breath $21 PINT DIST. FROM 100 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS 80 PROOF MR. BOSTON DIST.. INC, BOSTON will have Bend at Bandon, Co quille and Roseburg will vie with games probably at Coquille on Saturday and at Roseburg on Sunday. Drain draws a bye in loop activity. Sox Lead By Three Currently Coquille is in sec ond place. The Loggers are fav ored to take a pair from Rose burg but can't quite catch loop pacing Drain this week since the Black Sox have a comfortable three-game lead. Bend and Bandon will have their first outing together since a scheduled early season series was postponed.l Bend now holds third spot. If Bandon can win a pair and Grants Pass and Med ford simply split, the Rogue Val ley clubs can take over third position. Manager Jack Cooney has re ported that Marv Scherpf , a lefty and Terry Maddox, a righthand er, are likely starting chuckers in the try for the fifth and sixth wins of the season over Grants Pass. Warren Noyes is not slated to be on hand from Seattle to toss for the Studs this week end. Ready for relief will be Jim Kelly, lefthander, and Derald Wooton, rightsider. Scherpf has two wins over GP this season although he needed the strike out relief work of Wooton in the ninth canto of one hassle. Lucas, Reid May Tot Brad Lucas and Bob Reid are expected to get the mound sum mons from GP Elks according to Manager Mel Ingram. Bill Seymour probably is the No. 1 candidate should either require relief. None of the Medford margins over GP this year have been wide enough to indicate a cinch this time out for the Studs. Med ford won the league engage ments 6 to 4 and 10 to 7. In non circuit scuffles, outcomes were 9 to 8 and 8 to 5. While aiming to up their status on the SOL front, the Studs will have some thought on a big series at the fair grounds on Wednesday and Thursday, July 27 and 28. They'll entertain the Coos Bay North Bend Lumberjacks, a strong contingent of ex-pro and standout semi-pro players. The series is expected to be one of the big baseball attractions of the season here.
