Thursday, the Padres switched from Manager Bob Elliott to Manager George Metkovich. But Thursday night they re turned to their losing ways and were dumped 9-4 by the Van couver Mounties. Farther up the PCL ladder the Hollywood Stars got more breathing room by beating 'Se attle 3-1 while San Francisco was blanking second-place Los Angeles 6-0. Portland kept tread ing away at the long climb to the first division by taking care of Sacramento 5-2. Jergensen Homers Twic " Spider Jorgensen took care of all the runs the Mounties needed with two home runs and a single that drove five tallies across. Jim Marshall also whacked out a homer for the Mounties to help make Metkovich's debut an un- success. Portland had sloppy Sacra mento playing to thank for its victory. The Solons had a 2-0 lead going into the eighth and Joe Stanka had a three-hitter. Then, after two were out, the Sacramento infield committed three errors and awarded Port land foua unearned runs. The final Portland run, which came in the ninth, was also of the un merited variety on another boot by a Sacramento infielder. John Briggs got the win and the luckless Stanka the loss.

GEORGE METKOVICH NAMED TO MANAGE SAN DIEGO NINE .i San Diego (IT) Ralph Kiner, general manager of the Pacific Coast league San Diego Padres, yesterday dismissed Bob Elliott as manager. Kiner immediately named George Metkovich, veteran out fielder and first baseman, as new manager. He is 36. Kiner said Elliott was offered the position as assistant general manager but turned it down. He said Metkovich signed a one-year contract. "Elliott is being dismissed to help the morale of the team," Kiner said. Metkovich joined the Padres this spring, being purchased from Louisville.

Tight Tiff For Team Honors in PCC Meet University of Oregon, Eugene A tight team battle and a num ber of top duels for individual championships feature the 27th running of the Pacific conference track and field championships at Hayward field today and Satur day. UCLA's Bruins, who ended the long domination of the Southern California Trojans last spring, were expected to have a tough time defending their team title against the USC crew this year. The Bruins are hopeful their strength in the running events will offset the power of the Tro jans in the field events. Stanford, Oregon and Cali fornia figured to be locked in a tight race for third spot and may hurt the Bruins in the sprints and hurdles as well as the middle distance races while the Trojans didn't face as tough a challenge in the field events. Eight defending champions re turned with Bob Voiles and Ron Morris of the Trojans in the jave lin and pole vault and the USC relay team contending. Bernie Nelson of Stanford in the highs, Rafer Johnson and Dick Knaub of UCLA faced a tough time ahead in the low hurdles and broad jump. Jim Bailey of Ore gon may not defend in the mile, but may go after UCLA's Bob Seaman in the 880, where the Bruin ace is the champion. There may be several meet records broken. The 100-yard dash mark of 9.6 may fall before Leamon King of California or Oregon's Steve Anderson. The same is true in the 220, where the record is now 21.0. Bailey, Seaman, Cal's Don Bowden and USC's Tom Anderson can all crack the mark of 1:51.6 in the PREAKNESS ENTRY LIST HEADED BY IRON LIEGE Baltimore (IPI Calumet Farm's Iron Liege, the Kentucky Derby winner, headed the proba ble lineup when the entry box for Saturday's $100,000 added Preakness Stakes closed today for the second of the Triple Crown classics.

Martin Has Fallen Out With Casey New York HH Billy Mar tin, Casey Stengel's "boy," has fallen out of grace with his New York Yankee bosses, and because of his part in the Hank Bauer nightclub brawl may be headed for Washington in a multi-player deal. Martin. Bauer and four other Yankee players faced stern dis ciplinary measures by Stengel for staying out beyond the cur few prescribed for "good" ball players while celebrating Mar tin's 29th birthday until the early hours of Thursday morn ing. The climax of the party was the slugging of Edwin Jones, a 42-year-old delicatessen owner. Jones claims the slugging was done by Bauer and threatens suit of $250,000. Bauer denies it and the Yankee management be lieves him. But Stengel and the top brass are infuriated at the after-hours partying. They feel that Martin is the ringleader in these bright spot escapades. And sources close to the Yankees believe they are ready to deal Martin away, even though he long was regarded as Stengel's favorite player. A reliable report had Martin, Andy Carey, Norm Siebern, Al Cicotte and a Yankee farmhand going to the Senators for Eddie Yost and a pitcher either Camilo Pascual of Pedro Ramos. President . Cal Griffith of the Senators is willing. And Charley Dressen, front-office assistant, is due in New York today to talk business. : Dead line Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday: 10 a.m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport . 880 and MaxTruex has bettered the two mile time for the Tro jans, which now stands at 9:02.3, with a national record of 8:55.0. The javelin mark, is also under pressure from Voiles, who has tossed 249-6 this spring for a new collegiate record. In addition to the sprints and 880, one of the best races was expected to be the 440, where UCLA's Russ Ellis meets Wash ington's Terry Tobacco.
