By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer If a "stop Stevenson" move ment is shaping up at the Demo cratic convention, it's a cinch that "a stop Mel Steiner from umpiring" drive is gaining speed today in San Francisco. For the second time this month, the harassed arbiter was a target Sunday for cushions and epithets hurled at him by Seal fans who don't like his de cisions at home piate. Only this time a few fists were mixed in. And for the second time in a month, Steiner was the fall guy behind the plate when the Seals lost a doubleheader. It was on June 3 that maligned Mel was bombarded with cushions at the end of a wild nightcap that saw the locals drop's twin bill to Los Angeles. San Diego swept both ends from the Seals Sunday, 3-2 and 5-2, and when it was all over, Steiner had to slug his way through a crowd of fans who didn't like his call on a close play at home plate. Kaiak Called Safe The lid blew in the eighth in ning of the extra-frame night cap when the Padres scored three times to sew things up. Dick Sisler belted a single off losing pitcher Bill Henry with the bases loaded and two runs 1 came across. There was no question that Bob Usher was safe but when Steiner gave the safe sign on Eddie Kazak who raced In after him, a roar of protest exploded from the Seals and fans. After a five minute argument play was resumed and presently the game was over and Steiner surrounded by enraged specta tors. One squared off in front of time. Another walloped him in the back. Cushions flew like buckshot. . ; Win Streak Ended Hollywood downed Seattle In the opener 7-2, to end a nine game winning streak both for the Suds and reliable Elmer Sin gleton, who finally was tagged with his fourth defeat as Ben Wade went the route to post win number six. Howie Judson blanked the Stars with a two-hitter in win ning the finale, 2-0. Steve (The Bomb) Bllko smashed his 31st home run as Los Angeles drubbed Sacramen to 9-1, in their opener. The Sacs woke up for three runs in the sixth inning of the finale to edge Los Angeles, 8-4.
