Hillman Grabs 19th For LA, Stops Valdes Try; Bernier Fined Br JOHN McDONAI.n Uniud Pri Sporti Writer Hollywood ! fiery Carlos Ber nier, always a headache to Paci fic Coast league umpires, began sitting out an indefinite suspen sion today but the controver sial Puerto Rican speed boy couldn't blame the umps this time. His own manager, Clay Hopper, hoisted the thumb and slapped him with a $50 fine for "too much lip." Hopper said the 27-year-old Bernier started sounding off when the manager lifted him from the second came of a twin bili with Sacramento because of Bernier s injured thumb Hopper was in no mood for Bernier's beefing as he watched tne boions swep the doublehead' er 3-2 and 4-2. ' In other games Dave Hillman racked up his 19th victory for Los Angeles and stopped Rene Valdes from gaining his 20th as the Angels dumped Portland 4 2; Vancouver edged Seattle 7-6 in a four hour, 13-inning marathon; and the San Diego i'adres handed San Francisco its 31st one-run defeat of the season, 3-2. Loop's Bad Bov Bernier has been the loop's bad boy since 1954 when he poked Umpire Chris Valenti after a called third strike. For that he drew a suspension for the remainder of the season. He was benched last week be cause of a fracture at the tip of his thumb, but apparently thought it had healed sufficient ly to play last night. He current ly leads the league in stolen bases and triples and set a mod ern PCL record a few years back with 65 base thefts. Bernier's contribution last night was a single in the first game and one for seven for the night. The Solons' Cloyd Boyer shut out the Stars on three hits in the seven-ining opener and Nippy Jones drove In two runs, the second with a game-winning sacrifice fly to wrap up the nightcap. Jones also brought in one of the Solons' first game runs with a double and Wally Westlake's two baser accounted for the other. The double win rocketed the Solons to within one-half game of fourth place Portland. Pitchtrs' Affair What had the makings of one of the season's best pitching duels between Valdes and Hill man proved a hitter's affair at Portland. Hillman stopped Valdes' bid to become the loop's first 20- game winner and put himself in line. Both hurlers now have 19 wins. Bob Speake hammered a two- run homer over the right field wall to give the Angels a 2-0 lead in the second. Hillman had the Beavers blanked until the seventh when Jick Littrell sin gled in one run and Luis Mar- quez's sacrifice fly chased home the second. Valdes had the consolation of stopping the Angels' home run king, Steve Bilko, cold in five trips. At Seattle, Charlie Beamon's squeeze bunt scored the winning run for Vancouver in the 12th inning after the Suds' Art Schult doubled and Milt Smith singled him home in the ninth to send it into overtime. The Mounties rapped out 15 hits in the wild contest and com mitted five errors. Home runs by Eddie Kzzak and Joe Astroth in the fifth in ning kept San Diego in the game, and Bob Usher's third straight single in the eighth won it and gave Vic Lombardi his ninth win and third over the Seals this year.

Medford UKE SIPCDIffiTS Watered Down Segregation Law Sugar Bowl Aim New Oreleans (U.R) Sugar Bowl officials were expected to publicly announce today a plan to water down a strict segrega tion law which bans all racially mixed athletics in Louisiana. Letters went out late Tuesday to the 140 state legislators, who meet in a special 12-day session called by Gov. Earl Long for Thursday, asking them to give the Sugar Bowl their support. The plan, a bold one for this segregation-conscious itate, was to seek the signatures of each lawmaker as authors of a bill which would exempt cities over 100,000 population in the state from the terms of the racial bill. This would keep alive ambi tious sports dreams for the cities of New Orleans, Shreve port and Baton Rogue. The Legislature unanimously approved a bill during the recent regular 60-day session which out laws the mixing of Negro and white players in any profes sional or amateur sports events in Louisiana.
