Adams pitched perfect ball un til the eighth inning and struck out six and walked one for an 11-10 record. Losing Padre Bill Thomason evened his record at 4 and 4. The Beavers jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Four Beaver batters found Thomason's range as Carl Powis, Dick Whit man, Eddie Mickelson and Jim my Robertson all singled to add up the two counters. Smashes 5th Homer Robertson connected again in the fourth, smashing his fifth home run of the season over the back wall to make it 3-0. An other Beaver run came in the seventh on a single by Powis and a sacrifice by Whitman. The Padres drew a blank until the eighth inning when Adams, who. had faced 21 men in the first seven inhings, finally al lowed -a walk to Ray Jablonski Earl Rapp then drew the first Padre blood by knocking his 29th homer of the season over the right field fence and out of sight. In another game of some im portance in the. league Holly wood downed Los Angeles 3-2 and moved into a virtual tie with Seattle for the loop lead. The Stars now trail, the Rainiers by a single percentage point. Hollywood scored two runs in the sixth frame to take the win from Los Angeles with Red Mun ger racking up his 21st win- highest in the league.

In fact, the 26-year-old out fielder from St. Wendelin, O., has been out-homering Kluszew ski for the last month and may wind up beating out his more publicized teammate. Post boost ed his home run total to 34 when he blasted two off Robin Roberts Monday night to give the Red- legs a 4-3 victory over the Phil adelphia Phillies. Roberts Blows Lead The Phillies, striving desper ately to finish second for the best showing since their pennant- winning 1950 campaign, pre sented Roberts with an early 3-0 lead but he yielded four homers in all to suffer his 10th loss. He was gunning for his sixth straight win and 22nd of the sea son. Smoky Burgess and Post broke Robin's shutout spell with back-to-back homers in the sixth inning and pinch-hitter Hobie Landrith tied the score at 3-3 with his fourth homer of the year in the eighth. That set the stage for Post's game-winning wallop in the ninth. A total of 13 homers were hit by the National League's slug gers Monday. The Brooklyn Dodgers blasted out three homers in routing the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-4, while the Chicago Cubs hit four round trippers in beating the New York Giants, 6-3. Pittsburgh and Mil waukee were idle. 39 For Snider Roy Campanella hit his 30th homer, Duke Snider No. 39 and Carl Furillo No. 23 to lead Brooklyn's nine-hit attack and pave the way for southpaw Johnny Podres to even his rec ord at 9-9. Harry' Chiti hit two. homers and Gene Baker and Dee Fondy one each as the Cubs bombarded four Giant pitchers for 14 hits. Warren Hacker went the route f oi his 11th win while Jim Hearn suffered his 13th' loss compared to 14 victories. In the American League, the four contenders were idle and the Baltimore Orioles made the most of the all-but-empty stage by sweeping a double-header from the Detroit Tigers, 6-0 and 4-3. Erv Palica pitched a five- hitter for his fifth win in the opener and Ray Moore picked up his seventh victory in relief in the nightcap.

JONES . f THIS SCENE POSSIBLE MARATHON PREVIEW A pile-up or two like this could highlight the 24-hour marathon hard top race slated by the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce over the Labor day holidays at Jackson County speedway here. Time trials are scheduled Saturday night and the main race will get underway at 4 p.m. Sunday. The car which com pletes the most laps by 4 p.m. Monday will be winner. Drivers of this area have been tuning for the marathon in regular programs at the Jackson speedway and at the Ashland track? There are mix-ups and spills of sorts on almost every racing card at the' two tracks and the above possibly is an example Top Jockeys Chicago (U.R) Strategy will be forgotten Wednesday when Swaps and Nashua tangle in their $100,000 ' match race at Washington Park, and both trainers intimated today "the fastest horse will win the race." Neither "Sunny Jim" Fitzsim mons, Nashua's handler, nor Meschach Tenney, trainer of Radio Station KYJC will carry the Swaps-Nashua race between 2:15 and 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. Swaps would predict that a world record would .be broken in the mile and one quarter gal lop, each under 126 pounds. But there was the suggestion that if pressed hard enough, either horse could clip the l:5Sk record hung up by Noor Seattle Site Of PCL Meeting San Francisco (U.PJ The Sept. 12 meeting of the Pacl .c Coast League, first set for San Francisco and then changed to Los Angeles, has now been switched to Seattle, Wash.

RIVERSIDE -MEDFORD -DIAL 2-2247 Ride Swaps, at Golden Gate June 24, 1950. Rex Ellsworth, Swaps' owner, said he would have "about a dozen words of instruction" for jockey Willie Shoemaker, while Fitzsimmons figured on little more in his last pre-race conver sation with Eddie Arcaro. Observers believed that Swaps would be let out to set the early pace and defy Nashua to catch him. Then it would be Arcaro's problem to rate his horse close enough to the front-runner to pull ahead in the final sixteenth The winner of the race was expected to be acclaimed both as three-year-old of the year and horse of the year. Swaps has been unbeaten in eight three-year-old starts and Nashua has won eight of nine starts, losing only to Swaps in the Kentucky Derby. In comparative times for the mile and a quarter distance, Swaps had the edge. He won the Kentucky Derby in 2:01 4-5 May 7 and captured the Hollywood July 9 in 2:00 3-5, while Nash ua's best time for the route has been 2:03 4-5 at Aqueduct July 2. - The track was expected to be fast for the venture.

The two squads had tied at 17 17 at the end of regulation play, but, under an agreement reached prior to the game, extended the contest until one team or tbA other scored. The Rams scored a touchdown after 11 minutes to win the game. Glickman said members of the Giant team left they would find it hard to get used to the idea of playing 'past the final gun. Giant players also felt the team win ning the toss held too great an advantage. The Rams, on the other hand, were-in favor of the innovation, Los Angeles officials had been . asking for the rule change for some time in advance of the con- test.
