Borkowski Tallies Winning Run As Portland Ends Long LA Streak By john Mcdonald United Pr.i Sports Wril.r Don't give up, boys. Those Los Angeles Angels can be beat, The Portland Beavers found that out last night when they ended a string ol 15 defeats at the hands of the Angels by pour ing across three runs in the ninth to win 5-4. It was beginning to look like the powerhouse Pacific Coast league leaders had some fan tastic hex on the Beavers as they Tolled up the string and held a 17-1 season edge over the Port- landers. Going into the ninth last night the Angels led 4-2 and looked like a cinch to make it 16 straight. Then Frank Carswell walloped a two run homer to tie it up and the Beavers loaded the bags on ace reliefer Bob Ander son. Double Play Fails With one away, Angel second sacker Gene Mauch grabbed a ground ball and decided to tag Eddie Basinski going to second and then flip to first for a game- ending double play. But Basin- ski refused to run into the trap and Bob Borkowski sped home with the winning run, with Mauch still clutching the ball. In other games, the second- place Seattle Rainiers topped Vancouver 5-1 behind Artie Schallock's four-hitter; Sacra mento made it three straight over Hollywood 3-1; and San Francisco battered San Diego 9-4. Big Steve Bilko was no help to the Angels again last night The muscle boy went hitless in five trips. Angel starter Dick Drott rapped a solo homer in the fifth for Los Angeles' first run and Basinski poked one for the Beavers in the eighth. At Seattle, Schallock 10-8 gave up an unearned run in the first, then shut the door the rest of the way ss he struck out six and walked n'.x. The Rainiers got the one back in the second and then put it away with four runs In the third triggered by a pair of doubles by Joe Taylor and Bob Balcena. Wetilake Homers Ageless knuckleballer Earl Harrist gave izp just five hits to send the faltering Stars down to tHeir fourth straight loss. Wally Westlake smashed his 11th homer of the year to get the Solons started in the second. Harrist lost a shutout in the eighth when Ramon Mejias doubled and Bill Hall chased him in- with a single. At' San Francisco, the Seals chalked up five runs in the seventh to break a 4-4 tie. Larry DiPippo's three run double was the key blow, giving Bill Aber nathie in relief of R. W. Smith his fourth win against three losses. Third baseman Frank Malzone had started the Seals rolling with a bases-loaded double in the first and rang up four RBI's for the day.

Mother Confesses Kidnaping Hoax; Toi Found on Road Charlotte, N.C. (U.R) Police charged a young mother Wednes day night with abandoning her incurably ill infant son along a muddy country roadside and spinning a false kidnaping tale which sent police in five states searching for a "narcotics ring." Mrs. Mary Frances Roole, 25 year old Navy wife, was charged with assault and abandoning five-month olyd Raymond Poole. "The child was found by a girl on her way to a church meeting. The baby was lying face down on the muddy roadside but was unhurt. Taken To Hospital Police said the baby was taken to a hospital where doctors told them he was suffering from can cer of the brain. Mrs. Poole, who has two other children, touched off a frantic police search for her child and his fictitious kidnapers at 1 p.m. Wednesday when she telephoned authorities from her home in nearby Belmont. She said two men and a woman named Ruth Snider, of Oakland, Calif., took the baby from his crib because she refused to smuggle narcotics into the Charleston, S.C., Navy base for them. Would Be Sorry She said the Snider woman, who police now believe is non existent, told her she would be "sorry" about refusing to smug gle the narcotics. When the baby was found about 6 p.m. by Diane Ross, 13, police resumed questioning Mrs. Poole. Finally, Mrs. Poole confessed that her whole story was a hoax. She had told police that Mrs. Snider had a police record in Des Moines, Iowa, but police there said they had no record of the woman. She was held in lieu of $4,000 bond.
