Phone 2-5336 or 2-5897 Ashland 8121 SIPOMffiTrs Portland's Beavers Trip LA Angels 10-7 By john Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer The clock was running out to day on thumping Steve Bilko, brawny home run blaster for the Los Angeles Angels, in his chase of the Pacific Coast league's 3 1-year-old homer record. Bilko came out of a batting slump last night with two singles against Portland but failed again to find the home run range. The singles made little difference as the Beavers outgunned the Angels 10-7. Elsewhere in the loop, Elmer Singleton pitched a five-hitter to lead Seattle to a 7-1 triumph over Vancouver; the San Fran cisco Seals vaulted back into sixth place on Frank Malzone's ninth inning homer which gave them a 7-6 win over San Diego, and Hollywood and Sacramento split a twin bill, Sacramento winning the opener 3-2, then bowing 4-3. Pressure Telling Pressure, the ancient foe of home run record seekers, was beginning to tell on Bilko in the home stretch of the season. He track in friendly Multnomah stadium, but after rapping his 51st four-master Monday has been unable to belt the long one. His Monday homer left him nine short of the record 60 set by Tony Lazzeri in 1925. in a 200-game season. Bilko has just 20 games left. The Beavers opened up an early lead last night scoring eight runs in the first four frames, then held the Angels off in a free-swinging contest. Joe Hannah hit his first homer of the campaign for the Angels and Luis Marquez and Sam Cal- derone slugged round-trippers for the Beavers. Bob Darnell 14-10 in relief, picked up his second win in as many nights. BRAVES SIGN SHINN Milwaukee (U.R) Shortstop Jimmy Shinn, a graduate of Co- vina, Calif., High school last June, has been signed by the Milwaukee Braves and will re port to the club's Lawton, Okla., farm club in 1957. Shinn will report to the Braves minor league training camp at Way- had expected to get back on the cross, Ga., in the spring. - r AC Reviews -Suspension Of Aragon Los Angeles (U.R) The Cali fornia Athletic Commission call ed a special meeting today to review the suspensions of Art (Golden Boy) Aragon and Ref eree Abe Roth. Both Aragon and the referee were suspended indefinitely as an aftermath of the Golden Boy's ninth round technical knockout victory over Cisco An drade Wednesday night. Aragon was suspended for using eye patches and Roth for his quick action of halting the bout after 42 seconds of the ninth. The commission was expect ed to hear both Aragon and Roth at the special hearing. Inspector Clayton Frye yes terday released the welter weights estimated $28,500 purse, but said the colorful fighter would remain under suspension until the commission can deter mine if he ' used illegal eye patches in the outdoor bout. Fans Disapprove Meanwhile, many of the 14,000 fans viewing the bout con tinued to voice disapproval over Roth's sudden action in halting the bout. Andrade was knocked down in both the eighth and ninth rounds after putting up a spirited fight, but most of the fans thought he should have been allowed to continue. Roth and one official had Aragon ahead on points while the other official had Andrade in front after eight rounds. Roth, a veteran of 35 years as the third man in the ring. said he had no regrets at the way he handled the bout. He said Aragon's weight advantage of more than seven pounds was just too much for lightweight Andrade. , The referee said he felt that Andrade couldn't catch up after being downed twice. Roth add ed that it was his opinion if he allowed the bout to continue another punch might have hurt Andrade for life. LA Rams, Giants Vie on Saturday.
