Taylor had a fine day for him self with a three-run homey and another run batted in against San Francisco. Then he had an even bigger night with two hom ers good for five runs. That made it easy for Larry Jansen, who held the slipping Seals to six hits and kept them scoreless until the eighth. Cheer a Loser Portland, deeply mired in last place, drew more than 25,000 fans to see them play seventh place Sacramento in a two-for-the-price-of-two double header.
