Twinks Miss Again
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sporti Writer
At best the Los Angeles An
gels have only an outside chance
of winning the Pacific Coast
League pennant but they're hav
ing lots of fun playing "spoiler"
for their arch-rivals, the Holly
wood Stars.
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. Gene Verble

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.

Tri-City Braves
Move Into 2nd
By UNITED PRESS
The Tri-City Braves moved
into the lone ' remaining spot
from which Eugene's position as
the kingpin of the Northwest
League can be threatened by
beating the Emeralds for the
third straight time last night.
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.

Head Coach Tommy Prothro to

St. Paul (U.R) Pre-tourney
favorite Cincinnati tangles with
Salisbury, N. 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. The defeat eliminated
Lincoln from the tourney.
Salisbury was tagged with its
first loss yesterday, dropping a
7-6 decision to Washington, D. C.
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.

Northwest members of fhe Pa
cific Coast Conference opened
the 1955 college football season
today. Initial fall turnouts were
slated at Idaho, Washington and
Washington State College.
The pigskin call was expected
to bring out more than 40 hope
fuls to Coach Skip Stahley's grid
training ground at Moscow,
Idaho. 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.
Cherberg said the problems will
be to develop more backfield
speed, find some pass catchers
and work some new men Into
the Husky attack.
Washington opens against
Idaho in Seattle Sept. 17.
