But Whitney North Seymour Sr., counsel for the IBC, de clared the government had fail ed to prove conspiracy or mono poly, and had failed to show a market for title fights exists sep arate from the market for non title fights.

She said Capt. J. J. McNeil, president of the sourdoughs who is still an active deep sea mas ter, plans to come here from Hamburg, Germany, for the Sacs Not Sad; Take PCL Lead Away From Seattle By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Sacramento Solons, rated as pigeons in the pre-season esti mates, were in the catbird seat in the Pacific Coast League to day. The supposedly sad Sacs ac complished their minor league miracle by pinning back the wings of the high-flying Seattle Rainiers for the second straight time last night and taking over their perch with a 5-2 victory. The rest of the first division marked time as San Francisco split with Hollywood, losing 0-1 and then winning 7-6 in a couple of close ones and Los Angeles and Portland were rained out. San Diego scored 7-6 over Vancouver. Jackie Tobin, a former Rain ier, led the Sacramento attack with three of his team's 12 hits. The Solons got the first two runs of the game in the sixth and were ahead all the rest of the way although the Rainiers twice pulled to within a run. Earl Harrist was the winner and Elmer Singleton the loser but both met their mates in the shower room, being taken out before completing the game.

"I hope I live up to his kind words," Delany said prior to limbering up on the Coliseum track where the race will be staged. "I would like nothing better than to run my best against Mr. Landy. "I have nothing to go by in determining how well I can run against him. After all, he has run faster than four minutes on four occasions and that's a feat no one has matched."
