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.
