also saw. 12 home runs.
When the carnage was over it
was the two teams that stayed
in California that shared top
spot in "the loop.
Hollywood blanked Los Ange
les 3-0 to have them move both
teams to the top spot.
Seattle was in a virtual Hie
because of 6-4 and 6-1 victories
over San Francisco both
brough about by the big bat of
Joe Taylor.

Minor Loops Eye
Pension Plan
New York (U.R) . Minor
league baseball players already
have taken the first steps toward
the creation . of a pension plan
similar to the one now enjoyed
by their big league brethren, the
United Press learned today.
Players with 10 years service
in the minors, from Triple-A
classifications all the way down
to Class D, would be eligible for
pension benefits, according to
the plan.
a couple of amazing crowds
Vancouver broke all records
for crowds but San Diego did
the cashing in, 10-5.
Curt Raydon limited Los An
geles to four hits and R. C. Ste
vens homered for the Stars as
Hollywood avenged in part a
disastrous earlier series with
the Angels.
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.
In the afternoon game Roger
Osenbaugh blanked the Beavers
on four hits and Russ Rosburg
and Ted Bell hit homers. In the
nightcap Bell and Nippy Jones
hit homers for the Sacs, but
they could not match a homer
by Frank Ernago and a pair by
George Freese for the home
towners. Earl Harrist was the victim
and Bill Werle the victor in the
second game although neither
was around at the end.
