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.

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

Los Angeles U.R) The Los

Ford Trucks prove their dependability
on the biggest construction job since the Panama Canal!
Not in 42 years has the world seen such a massing
of construction men and machines. They're clearing
the way to the heart of a continent in the mighty
St. Lawrence Power and Seaway project.
The going's rugged and the completion date
allows no delay. That's why you find tough,
dependable Ford trucks at work everywhere.
How those Fords can take it! It's a proven fact
Ford trucks outlast every other leading make! And
their day-in, day-out dependability is a major
reason why Ford trucks cost less. It means less down
time, lower repair costs, more work output. .
Ford's first cost is low. The gas and oil economy
of modern Short Stroke engines keeps sunning costs
low. And longer-lived Ford trucks bring top dollar
on resale. To get lower truck costs all around, take
a tip from America's biggest truck users the men
who know truck costs best.
