At hot new Hydn-Matk 0 3610 UTTE not the way they did it last night The league leading Rainiers lost ground to all three other first division occupants by los ing to Oakland 4-3. And to add injury to injury, all four of the Oakland runs were gifts. The other contenders kept pace in this fashion San Diego 7-2'ed San Francisco; Hollywood won from Sacramento 6-3 and Los Angeles got five runs while Portland scored only four. Oakland scored all its four runs in the seventh inning against the league leaders. First Monte Basgall cuffed around a grounder that would have end- ed the inning. Pop Fir Scores Three Then Carmen Mauro dropped a pop fly with the bases loaded while three more Oaks scam pered gleefully across home plate. The Rainiers came back with two in the bottom of the ninth but fell short of tying it up. Lou Kretlow was the victim for the third time against 13 win3 and Brooks Lawrence got the win. Dick Sisler hit a three -run homer in the first inning to start Steve Ridzik and the San Diego Padres off on the right foot against San Francisco. His blow got rid of Tony Ponce, the loser, and it would have won the game by itself. However the Pads made it double certain with a single run in the third and three more in the seventh. San Francisco got single runs in the third and fourth, one of them being Dave Melton's 16th homer of the season. King Gets First Win Nelson King of Hollywood pitched his first Pacific Coast league win with a six-hitter that set down the last place Sacra mento Solons. Bud Watkins was the losing pitcher and it was his battery mate, Danny Reich, who accounted for all the Sacramen to runs. Baich hit a home run with two men aboard in the seventh inning. Joe Hatten of Los Angeles outdueled Red Adams of Port land and won on a seven-hitter. The Angels had trouble giving Hatten the win, however, as he gave up home runs to Carl Powis, Luis Marquez and Don Eggert. All three round trippers came with the bases empty. Los Angeles stayed four games behind Seattle and one in ar rears of San Diego and Holly wood by clicking out 13 hits off Red Adams and his reliefer. Don Elston helped Hatten to the win. LINESCORES: .

PACIFIC HIGHWAY Moore Manager Begins Attack on Rock's Roughness Porth Adams, Mass. tu.PJ Charley Johnston, manager of Archie Moore, sounded the-toc sin today for an all-out pre-fight attack on Rocky Marciano's roughness. "In the first place, I'm going to ask Chairman Julius Helfand of the boxing commission on Friday to arrange for a good loud bell for the Sept. 20th fight if he has to get it off a fire en gine, Johnston said. "A loud bell will prevent Mar- ciano from hitting Archie after the bell and then excusing him self by saying he didn't hear it. He got away with that against Don Cockell at San Francisco and a lot of other stuff. But not this time. Pilot Charley stressed that he would ask Helfand to instruct his referees to crack down on Rocky for all brands of "foul tactics." Archie, the 38-year-old chal lenger, did not share Johnston s alarm about Marciano's tactics, but he said, "anything Charley does to help us win is okay with me."
