Ems Drop
5-4 Game
To Chiefs
By UNITED PRESS
An intential walk that back
fired shaved the Northwest
league lead of the Eugene Emer
alds to but one game over second-place
Lewiston last night.
Wild Pilch
Wenatchee took the Emeralds
5-4 with a ninth-inning run which
crossed when hurler Frank
Chase was trying to walk Phil
Marvier intentionally. His sec
ond pitch sailed over Catcher
Cliff Dapper's head and Bob Dur
etto scored easily from third.
Duretto had put the chiefs
back in the ball game with a two
run homer in the seventh to
bring it to 4-4.
Tri-City found the eighth in
ning profitable harvesting three
runs for a 4-3 decision over Yak
ima. Singles by Rick Herrera,
Danny Holden and Milt Martin
and a double by Tom Perez did
the damage. The Braves got their
other marker in the sixth on Don
Pries' triple and a sacrifice fly
by Danny Holden.
Salem Drubbed
Spokane also used an eighth
inning rally to take Salem 6-2.
Bill Sheets singled, Bob Cerrat
to walked, Eddie Murphy bang
ed a one-run single, Johnny Bel
lone walked and Nap Gully came
through with a two-run single
during the big frame. The fourth
run crossed on a double steal
pulled by Bellone and Gully.

Upset Suds
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
According to the song it's a
shame if the home team doesn't
win, so the Pacific Coast league
put in a pretty sad evening Mon
day.
There were only two games
but the visiting firemen took
both of them. And everybody
in the league except Portland
and Seattle profited.
Beavers Lose 4-1
San Francisco reared up from
the depths of last place and plas
tered the league leading Seattle
Rainiers 4-3 while Hollywood
improved its third place spot at
the expense of Portland 4-1.

top softball pitchers, has signed

Dewey Soriano, Rainier gen
eral manager, announced the
signing yesterday. The 25-year-
old right-hander, who has spent
10 years in softball, will not only
pitch from the standard 60-foot,
6-inch distance but will pitch

same manner that has pushed
him to the top rungs of softball.
Fesler has been working out
under the tutelage of Dick Bar
rett, former Seattle pitching
great.

first baseman, merited his posi
tion in the cleanup spot by belt
ing a two-run home run in the
eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie
and give the Seals the game.
Seattle rallied in the bottom of
the' ninth and got one of the
runs back but it wasn't enough.
Jim Walsh pitched the win
with an eight-hitter while the
Seals jumped on ex-San Francis
can Elmer Singleton for nine hits
and hung the defeat on him.
Alexander Loser
Joe Trimble pitched Holly
wood's win to raise his record
to six victories and one defeat.
Bob Alexander was the loser.
Portland got nine hits off
Trimble but he scattered them
well and was tight enough in
the clutches to leave 11 Beaver
runners adrift on the bases.
Hollywood could muster only
seven hits off Alexander and
his relief, Bob Hall, but made
them count for the victory.
Tonight the teams resume a
full schedule with doubleheaders
slated in Oakland and Portland.
Oak Hitter
Leads PCL
San Francisco (U.R) Vet
eran George Metkovich of Oak
land took over the Pacific Coast

leads in hits with 150, and in
home runs with 30. The runs-batted-in
leader, with 113, is
Earl Rapp of San Diego.
Lou Kretlow of Seattle con
tinued to dominate the pitching
averages with a perfect 11-0
record. Bob Garber, Hollywood,
has most wins, 17, against 10
defeats; and he also leads in

Casey Says
Cubs Hand
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
A dejected Casey Stengel hint
ed today that this is the weak
est Yankee club he has ever
managed but he insisted it's still
strong enough to beat all the
other contenders.
"I've never seen such poor
hitting in all the time I've been
here," Stengel said. "The team
average is around .250 and the
pitching ain't nothing to rave
about, either. But bad as every
thing is, I still figure we can
beat 'em all if we start to play
ball."
Stengel's remarks came as the
Yankees, only three percentage
points behind the first place
White Sox, were about to launch
a crucial three-game series with
the fourth-place Red Sox, who
are only IV2 games off the pace
themselves.
Marty Marion's pace -setting
White Sox, looking for their first
victory in the last five games,
also swing back into action to
night against the Athletics after
enjoying the same day of rest
all American League clubs did
Monday.
Herb Score Faces Detroit
The defending champion In
dians, who are only a half-game
out of first place and still have
a big stake in the pennant race
themselves, will be trying to
snap a three-game losing streak
when they send their rookie
southpaw fireballer, Herb Score,
against fifth-place Detroit to
night. Stengel's statement, concern
ing his floundering Yankees'
pennant chances, put him in the
same boat with Marion, Indian
Manager Al Lopez and Red Sox
Skipper Mike Higgins, all of
whom have picked their own
clubs to win, also.
"I said we'd win before the
season started," Marion declar
ed Monday, "and I see no reason
Archie Moore Cuts
Heavy Road Work
North Adams, Mass. '(U.R)
Having lost 10 pounds in one
week, challenger Archie Moore
has decided to cut out road work
and calisthenics temporarily in
his training for his title bout
with heavyweight champion
Rocky Marciano.
Moore, however, will continue
sparring daily. He now weighs
190 pounds and expects to weigh
185 when he enters the Yankee
Stadium ring to face Marciano
on Sept. 20.
Yankees Can Win;
Newcombe 2nd Loss
to change my prediction now. We
had our troubles the past week
but I think we'll get straight

Lopez said he was particu
