TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. June 20. 19JS Seattle Nips at Angels; Hollywood Holds Onto Pace; Beavers Sit Through Rain Br DON THACKREY United Preu Staff Writer The handwriting on the wall for the Lo Angeles Angels says. "Don't look back because there are a couple of guys following you." The Pacific Coast League leaders made the mistake of glancing over their shoulder dur ing the week end and now the footsteps they hear are likely to be planted squarely on their league lead. The Angels played it cautious Tuesday, however, by banging out 13 hits to defeat the improv ing San Francisco Seals 12-5. Their pursuers were not shaken off. though. Seattle edging San Diego 3-2 and Hollywood beat ing Vancouver 3-1. Sacramento and Portland sat it out on ac count of wet grounds. Bob Thqrpe kept the Seals In control with a seven-hitter as George Freese and Gale Wade hit home runs. Steve Bilko, the human siege gun, rapped three singles to run his consecutive game hitting streak to 24. String Snapped The loss broke a six-game win string for the Seals, the longest they have put together this sea son. Reliable Elmer Singleton pitched the Seattle Rainiers to victory over San Diego and notched his 11th win of the year. The loop's winningest pitcher gave up a two-run homer to Bob Usher in the first frame and then blanked the Padres the rest of the way. Seattle waited until the sixth to tie it up against Arnie At kins, traded to the Padres three weeks ago. Then they did it with two unearned tallies. Ray Orteig's single in the eighth gave the Rainiers the win ning run. Atkins held the win ners to six hits, but his team- MEF0OTRIBUr Woods Dusted in Portland Golf Portland U.R) Most of the favorites made it through the second round of play in the Portland city golf champion ships yesterday but Dusty Woods of McMinnville, runner up for the title last year, was eliminated. Woods toured the Eastmore land course in par but Grant Braun carded a one-under to edge one of the pre-tourney fav orites.

Mrs. Grubb was runner-up in last year's tourney. mates betrayed him with two errors, both in crucial spots. Hapless Mounties Hollywood defeated the hap less Mounties with a two-run outburst in the ninth that broke a tie game. Fred Green, third Star pitcher, picked up the win. The loss went to Charlie Locke and gave him a record of one win and nine dumpings. Locke contributed to his own downfall with 10 walks as each squad left 14 men stranded on base.

Repubs Bounce Demos in Congressional Baseball Washineton (U.RJ A few groans were heard on the House floor today and members limped, compared bruises and generally showed signs of combat. But it wasn't that election year politics had degenerated into a knockdown, dragout brawl. It was just the once a year congressmen athletes get ting over their annual Republi cans vs. Democrats baseball game. The Republicans won the game Tuesday night. 8-7. after a last inning rally in which the Democrats scored six runs. One Casualty Age and weight considered, the congressmen turned in quite a respectable athletic perform ance in the five-inning game. The only serious casualty was Rep. Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.), GOP catcher. He suffered a dis located shoulder in a home plate fracas. It all happened in the first half of the fifth, and final, inn ing when Rep. Eugene Mc Carthy (D-Minn.) dashed for home plate. Curtis attempted a putout and McCarthy ran into him. Curtis was carried off on a stretcher but waved cheerily at his fans as he left the field of battle. About 1500 chilled, but cheer ing fans watched the traditional contest for the Washington Eve ning Star's summer camp fund for underprivileged children. In the nine games played so far. the Democrats won the first seven. The . Republicans turned the tide last year and made it two in a row Tuesday night. Demo Upsurge The GOP looked as if they had the game cinched going into the final inning. But the Demo crats went wild. With two outs they blasted a series of hits off Republican Pitcher Glenn R. Davis (R-Wis.) to bring in six runs and tie up the game at 7-all. It took a rarity, a Texas Re publican, to turn the trick. Rep. Bruce Alger (R-Tex.) tripled to deeD left center in the last in ning with one out. Rep. Thor C. Tollefson (R-Wash.) fpllowed with a sharp single through the middle to break up the game. The losing pitcher was Rep. Stewart L. Udall (D-Ariz.). League Leaders NATIONAL LEAGUE Plaver Club C. AH Lone iPtta 54 19!) Baiev. Cin. . 44 133 Bover. St. L 57 225 Clemcnte.
