A Wrigley field crowd of 15,- 483 biggest of the PCL season turned out last night to see the Angels turn back the Stars, 8-1, for the second night in a row and once again block Holly wood's chances of moving into first place Front -running Seattle man aged to split with Portland and thus take a half game lead over the Stars. The Rainiers won the opener 8-0 and dropped the sec ond game, 4-2. Meanwhile, the San Diego "Padres roared back into conten tion with a 5-0, 6-2 sweep over Sacramento leaving the Pads just 3Vi games back in fourth place and Los Angeles is ova games behind with 14 games to play. Cellar Race At the other end of the lad der, San Francisco climbed out of the cellar past Oakland with an 8-5 win over the Oaks. The Angels' Don Elston tossed a four-hitter for his 16th win while his mates, led by Steve Bilko, landed on Ben Wade and two successors for 11 hits Billed, the league-leading home run hit ter, slammed his 36th round tripper in the second inning to get .the Angels off to a 1-0 start. Seattle went on a slugging pree in the seven-inning opener in Portland as Elmer Singleton posted his eighth shutc&t and 17th win. Jerry Zuvela, Joe Ginsberg, Bill Glynn and Art Schulte hit home runs to account for all of the Rainier runs. But in the nightcap Royce Lint muffled Seattle bats with a five-hitter for his ninth "win. Luis Marquez singled in two Portland runs in the third and the Beavers were never headed. Wally Westlake homered in the eventh for Portland. The split gave Seattle (jindis puted possession of first place. Portland fell from a tie for third to fourth, 4Vi games out. Bill Brenner (1-2) and Ewell Blackwell, who came in 'for Se attle in the eighth, gave up 11 hits to Portland. Lint's victory vened his mark at 9-9. Seattle led off the scoring in the first inning.

You rTrust 0 Begin -aw PHIL GETCHELL Sell Course Mark T. Jackson Subdues Ez Second Time Cleveland (U.R) Heavy weight contender Tommy (Hur ricane) Jackson, fresh from his second victory over ex-champion Ezzard Charles, said today, "I want a title fight at Miami in February." Thirty - four - year-old Charles who gave Tommy much stif fer competition in the arena Wednesday night than he did in their first fight at Syracuse, N.Y., on Aug. 3, declared, "I won't retire. I'll keep on fight ing. I thought I won." - Ezzard was on the verge of a knockout 0 in the 10th round when his pitter-patter, dancing opponent suddenly turned slug ger and thrice sent the ex-champ lurching nearly to the canvas. Jackson's youthful stamina gave him an impressive victory at the finish. Largest Purs The "Hurricane" from Far Rockaway, N.Y., not only added j lustre to his status as third-rank ing contender; but he received a guaranteed $10,000, the largest purse of his career. Ezzard, whose right eye was nearly closed in the ninth round, landed the more damaging punches during most of the bout. He hurt his lanky opponent with smashes ' to body and head in the first, second, sixth, seventh and eighth sessions. Despite his improvement over their first fight, he was far from his old time form. v As the former champion tired in the late going, Jackson did plenty of leading in the ninth round, when he played a tattoo on Ezzard's face with long left jabs. And in the 10th, Tommy turned slugger and battered his staggering opponent from corner to corner and fromjrope to rope. It seemed that the referee might step in before the final bell. jklMj a,nt I, ff FIFTH rj I' c 1 400 W l I e w pint old Mo6(kp (ffif distilled and aged from generation JAMES 6: BEAM DISTILLING CO., CLERMONT, KENTUCKY.

Tri-City downed the visitors, 16-7, to move into second place ahead of faltering Wenatchee which dropped a 4-3 decision at Salem. In the other league game last night, Yakima spoiled Lewiston's final home showing by dropping the Broncs, 6-2. .Eugene leads Tri-City by five and one-half games. The Emer alds have five games remaining, two against Wenatchee starting today and the other three against the braves. Tri-City has seven games left to play and with some luck, could overtake the leaders. Who's Worth More in This Place, Anyway? North Platte, Neb. (U.R) Four city councilmen here re ceive salaries 2V times those of four other councilmen. The legislature authorized a $500 a year salary for councilmen but it didn't apply to those already serving terms. So the veterans must be con tent with $200 a year until, and if, they are re-elected in one year. o 0 . - First Pacific Coast Invitational 2Qi MM0 mm top Mm Featuring the ' 0 COAST'S TOP DRIVERS 0 in the most ever stagedl 24 STRAIGHT HOURS OF MAYllEr.ljOil O QUALIFYING RAGES Saturday, September 3 6:30 P.Mo'til?

C, tonight in its uphill fight to take home its fourth national American Le gion Junior baseball title. Cincinnati, beaten in its open ing game, has to win them all from here on in or be eliminated from the double elimination tournament. - The Ohio team squeezed through its second game last night when a wild pitch gave them a run in the fourth and they hung on to edge Lincoln, Neb., 1-0.

It was Washington that also handed Cincinnati its opening game loss, 6-5, and left them the only unbeaten record in the tourney. Power Cutback Seen By Stream Flow Drop Portland (U.R) A drop in stream flows brought on by the dry weather might force a cut back of interruptible power de liveries to 13 electroprocess plants in the Pacific Nerthwest by the end of September," the Bonneville Power administration reported today. The BPA said, however, there appears to be little possibility that domestic supplies of powir will be curtailed. Representative of electropro cess plants, including aluminum reduction plants, were told that there 'is a strong possibility that stream flows will reach "criti cal year" stages by Oct. 1. If. this occurs, the plants would not get the estimated 446,000 kilo watts of interruptible hydroelec tric power they are expected to need. Should this source of powerbe cut off, the plants would have to turn to steam generation to supply their needs.

Another 45 or so were ex pected to greet WSC mentor Al Kircher and more than 50 have indicated they would try out for Johnny Cherberg, boss of the Washington Huskies. Stahley, whose Vandals had one of their best seasons in dec ades last year, were expected to feel the loss of 10 key letter men," but the head coach said the Idaho club would be high on spirit and grit if the spring turn outs were any indication of what to expect. Washington State is boasting an imposing list of returnees, in cluding a line of two-year letter winners, and veterans in each backfield position; Some prog nosticated have picked the Cou gars to finish as high as third in the PCC this season if they don't get jarred 4oo heavily at the start of the campaign. USC will furnish the opposition in the opener Sept. 17. . Husky Coach Cherberg has made one promise for the 1955 grid season the Washington team will have more offensive power than it did last year.
