SPORTS Steve Bilko Gets Mad, Hits Homers By SCOTT BAILLIE Uniled Press Sports Writer "Don't get Ty Cobb mad," used to be the fearful watch word in the American League and the same might be. applied today to Steve Bilko, the lar ruping first baseman of the Los Angeles who is driving toward a new PCL home run record. Big Steve was cruising along on a streak of five home runs in five straight games before yesterday's twin bill with Seat tle. One homer in that opening contest would have tied the mark of six for six recorded by the Cherubs' Gene Lillard in 1935. But Don Fracchia of the Rainiers held Bilko hitless, al though the Angels won 4-3. Came the nightcap and the angry slugger smashed two cir cuit clouts his 17th and 18th of the year to propel the An gels to a 5-4 win and a sweep of the doubleheader. Mounties Face PCL Leaders Los Angeles, which meets last place Vancouver on Tuesday, moved three games ahead in the PCL race off yesterday's tri nmnhi and will meet the futile Mounties with a six game win ning streak on the nre. Bob Anderson, who has been credited with three of those six wins, saved the nightcap for Los Angeles and posted his fifth win of the vear asainst no defeats. He has had 23 relief appear ances. In other action, San Diego bounced from sixth place to fourth by toppling Portland twirp. 9-2 and 4-2. while Holly wood and San Francisco divid ed. The Seals took the opener, 5-4. on Bob DiPietros two run homer in the ninth frame. Holly wood won the walkout, b-4. Kaxak Leads Attack Eddie, Kazak, who flirted with fame 10 years ago as third base man for the St. Louis Cardinals, was the big man in San Diego's thumping of Portland. The sharp featured, soft - spoken veteran went four for four in the opener and clubbed a home run in the process to help pitcher John Carmichael post his fifth win. Kazak's fourth home run of the year in the second game, coupled with five hit pitching by Dave Hoskins, helped cinch the finale. SOC Jumper 1st in NAIA Portland (U.R) University nf Portland and Lewis and Clark College each qualified three men for the NAIA national track and field meet in district 2's qualifying competition at Lewis & Clark Saturday.

Seal, Angel PCL Slates Protested San Francisco (U.R) The mid-week day game schedules of San Francisco and Los Angeles came under fire at a special meeting of the Pacific Coast League directors today. President Fred Davis of the Sacramento Solons led a fight to force the Seals and . Angels to return to a night game schedule or agree to revise the present method of dividing up game receipts. David said the present method of giving the home club 60 per cent and the visitors 40 per cent of the net receipts does not give the latter club enough revenue when they play before small day time crowds in Los Angeles and San Francisco. David said if he fails in his move to force the two clubs to return to night ball, he will pro pose that the Seals and Angels retain all their home game re ceipts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and allows the Solons to do the same when the clubs are playing in Sacramento on those days.
