By DON THACKREY United Press Sporti Writer While Los Angeles and Seat tle were playing Alphonse and Gaston with the Pacific Coast League last night, Eddie Basin- ski of the Portland Beavers was playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the Hollywood Stars. Los Angeles recaptured the loop lead with a 10-9 victory over San Diego while Seattle was conveniently losing 0-10 to Vancouver. Basinski showed the Holly- woodians his dramatic ability by booting four grounders, three in one inning, to help give the Stars five unearned runs. Then he changed character in the bot tom of the ninth and hit a grand slam home run that gave the game to Portland 6-5 and moved the Beavers a notch ahead of the Twinks. In the loop's other game Sac ramento rattled the boards for 10 extra base hits and a 10-3 win over San Francisco. Slippery Ball Basinski's three errors in the second gifted Hollywood with four runs and they got another unearned tally in the third. Then Sam Calderone pinch hit a two-run homer in the eighth for the first Portland scores. The first three men ud in the bottom of the ninth got on for Portland and Basinski got them off on his first pitch. San Diego and Los Angeles batted the ball around for 26 hits in nine innings until George Freese's single broke a 9-9 tie in the bottom of the ninth. Bob Speake, Steve Bilko and Jim Bolger homered' for Los Angeles and Dick Sisler and Clarence Moore did likewise for the Padres. Jim McDonald and Al Curtis held Seattle to five hits as they racked up Vancouver's first shutout victory of the year. Mc Donald gave up all the hits, but tired in the late frames and Cur tis pitched the ninth. Meanwhile the Mounties mis treated Don Fracchia and Howie Judson. getting 13 hits and put ting together a six-run fourth frame. George Metkovich led the attack with four hits, in cluding a homer and a double Coming and Going George Risley started the Sac ramento scoring with a two-run homer in the first and in the eighth Rufe Crawford closed it out with the same kind of a blast. Four Seal hurlers saw front line duty and the Solons scat tered their seven doubles, a tri ple and two homers fairly even ly. Altogether they had 15 hits. Cloyd Boyer was the winner, going the route the only pitch er in the loop to do so last night. By coincidence all home teams won last night after the visi tors had all triumphed the night before," leaving all four series tied 'at 1-1 for today's rubber games.

Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Pros Sporti Writer All Portland Workers To Get Pay Increase Portland (U.R) Key city administrative officials, in line for a pay boost under city coun cil action taken Monday, yester day saw the plan sidetracked. The city council, sitting as a budget committee, agreed to lim it pay hikes to a one-step raise across the board for all city em ployees. Commissioner William A. Bowes, a supporter of the pay boost In the action, yesterday announced that he would change his vote. The proposal carried in the council Monday by a 3-2 vote. Bowes' reversal would have meant a shift in the majority. Mayor Fred Peterson also agreed with Commissioners Stanley W. Earl and Ormond R. Bean that the big boosts might not be fi nancially possible under the city budget. Under the informal agree ment reached yesterday, all city employees will receive a pay j boost of $10 to $20 a month. New York (U.R) The base ball world looks on the arrival of Sal Maglie with the Brooklyn Dodgers as one of the weirdest events in the history of the game. Not even the days when Brooklyn made a habit of put ting three men on base the same base holds a candle to the "Barber" taking over a Flatbush chair. The inference was that he'd better keep his razor handy. But to Maglie, once one of the most detested of the hated Giants, it's "just like coming home." "It was a much stranger feel ing when the Giants sold me to Cleveland in mid-1951," Maglie explained as he sat in the Dodger dressing room with that unfamiliar lettering across his chest. "That was really a star tling feeling." Fire O'clock Shadow Sal had a faraway look in his eyes as he ran a hand across his famed five o'clock shadow, the ever-blooming stubble which he suited in his nickname when he came up to the Giants in 1950 after playing in the Mexican league. That was when Leo Du rocher took one glance and grunted: "He looks more like the Bar ber handling the end chair.". After which, in more than five seasons as a Giant, Maglie shaved a lot of rivals with the closest razor jobs held in re serve for the Dodgers. Through that period he won 22 from Brooklyn and lost only six, hurl ing five shutouts at the club he most loved to beat. But then he was sold to Cleve land and there, among a wealth of pitchers, Maglie got lost. Last season he pitched only 26 in nings for the Indians. This spring they used him for only five in nings in two games before taking Brooklyn's cash last week. "Going to Cleveland was the tough jump," Maglie insisted as he looked around at his new Brooklyn teammates. "It was a case of strange parks, strange hitters and nothing but strange faces." There was a satisfied grin on the lean, saturnine face which glowers habitually when he is on the mound. Like Coming Home "This is almost like coming home. After all, I've known all these guys for years. I know all the National League parks and I know the hitters. Even when I walked m here, in the Dodger clubhouse, I felt like they all were old friends of mine." ,Maglie's hopes are high as he contemplates pitching with the famed Dodger power behind him. "I wasn't pitching well for a while because of a bad back," he explained. "Favoring it gave me bad pitching habits. But I'm straightened out now and I feel okay. I think I can help Brook lyn." Which, whether he admits it or not, are words you never thought you'd hear from "the Barber.' the man who nareA thp dramatic Giant pennant march which unseated the Dodgers in 1951. Now. If the Dodeers can onlv get Bobby Thomson from Mil waukee mai scenario will be complete. Sprague Sees Trend In Civil Rights Law Portland (U.R) Ex-Gov ernor Charles A. Sprague said that Oregon's 1953 civil rights law has had a "profound effect on places of public resort." Sprague was speaker at the first membership meeting and dinner of the Oregon chapter of the American Civil Liberties union Tuesday night at the Mult nomah hotel. The chapter was formed about a year ago. "There is a growing trend to respect that civil rights law," Sprague said, "not just out of fear of legal action but respect for the purpose of the law." The law prohibits discrimination in any public place because of race, creed or national origin "The biggest problem on the national scene in civil rights to day," Sprague said, "is in the field of loyalty and security. The margin is very narrow be tween preservation of govern ment and preservation of indi vidual liberties."

Russ Would Welcome Tour by Joint Chiefs New York UR Russia has secretly informed Washington that it would welcome a visit of the entire U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff for an inspection of the So viet armed services, the New York Daily News said today.
