TEX WEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June IS, 1937 Innis Sparks Card Victory n Hot National Loop Race ISPORTS i y MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Wriler Del Ennis, on the trading block only a week ago, is swing ing in his old rhythmic style again and he could be the man to proiiuce a possible pennant melody for the streaking St. Louis Cardinals. The slugsing Ennis paced the Cards to their eighth straight victory Wednesday night when he blasted a three-run homer off Robin Roberts of the Phillies in a 40 triumph that moved St. Louis within one game of the National league lead. Thanks, in part, to Ennis' re cent performances, the first five N'L clubs are so closely bunched today that they all could squeeze through the eve of the same nee dle. Cincinnati still leads by half a game over both Brooklyn and Milwaukee while St. Louis and Philadelphia are both one game out. Musial Sets Record Larry Jackson of the Card inals scattered nine hits to regis ter his eighth victory as Stan (The Man) Musial set a league record for consecutive games played at 823. Brooklyn drfeated Milwaukee, 11-9. Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati, 4-3, in 10 innings: and the Ciants edged the Cubs, 4-3 in other NL games. The White Sox increased their American league lead to five games with a 7-6 victory over the Yankees; the Indians licked the Red Sox, 6-1; Detroit beat Baltimore, 4-2; and Washington took the nightcap of a twi-night twin bill, 3-2, after Kansas City won the opener, 5-3. Charley Neal drove in four runs with a triple and a homer as the Dodgers ended their four game losing slide at the expense of the Braves. Real's two-run triple climaxed a six-run second inning and his two-run homer in the fourth proved the margin of victory. Frank Torre. Ed Mathews and Hank Aaron hom ered for the Braves. Gene Freese singled home Dee Fondy in the 10th inning with the run that gave the Pirates their eight victory in the last 12 games. Mays"Steals" Show Willie Mays was the whole show in the Giants' win over the Cubs. He slammed his 11th homer with two on in the sixth to tie the score, then stole third base in the ninth and continued home when Cub catcher Cal Nee man threw wild into left field. The White Sox had to call on relievers Paul LaPalme and Dixie Howell to check a ninth inning rally after Mickey Mantle blasted a two-run homer, his second of the game and 18th of the season. Mantle had four hits in iive trips to boost his batting average to .378. Walt Dropo and Jim Rivera STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGl'E W L Pet.

IP Califor nia's Golden Bears wore their second national collegiate base ball title today on the strength of pitcher George Sterling's fifth inning clout, which scored the only run in a 1-0 battle with Penn State. The final game in the college world series Wednesday night was wrapped up by Sterling with a line drive triple off the glove of Jim Lockerman to score Bernie Kelly, who had walked. Cal Emery, a smooth Penn State sophomore, limited the Bears to three hits and was named the most valuable player by sportswriters. The Bears are only the third team in the 11-year history of the series to win the title with no losses in tournament play Texas came through the 1950 tourney unblemished, and Okla homa did the same in 1951. The Bears won previously in 1947. The five straight wins boosted Cal's season record to 36-10. Penn State, unbeaten in 19 regular season games, won three and lost two in the series. Sterling limited Penn State to five hits and was in trouble in only two innings. The pitch ing horizon darkened for Sterl ing in the third, when an error by teammate Earl Robinson and two walks loaded the bases. The threat ended when Penn State right fielder Jack McMullen grounded out. In the ninth, Gary Miller sliced a single to right field and Emery walked with none out. But Sterling struck out Steve, Baidy and got the next two bat ters in forceouts at second and third. Emery, who lost his first game in 11 starts, fanned nine NATIONAL LEAGl'E W Cincinnati 3!

Les O'Connor Asks Majors To Aid PCL San Francisco iW Leslie O'Connor, president of the Pa cific Coast league, has released a letter he wrote to Commis sioner Ford Frick and the major league presidents, asking jthem to help keep the PCL alive if the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants moved to Cali fornia. O'Connor's letter to Frick, Will Harridge, American league president, and Warren Giles j National league head, asked the majors to help the PCL continue playing Triple-A baseball on a realigned basis. "They, the PCL owners, un animously agreed that every effort should be made to con tinue operations, if at all pos sible, in order to provide pro Daseball for their communities," the letter said. "However, no club is willing to undertake the impossible task of substituting lower-class baseball in competi tion with major league opera tion in Los Angeles and San Francisco and with major league radio and television within our territory." O'Connor's letter said the PCL believed open or Triple-A baseball in the area will be pos sible only if there is a realign ment with the major leagues co operating and allocating some share of radio-TV profits to com pensate for attendance losses. The National league recently gave the Dodgers permission to switch their franchise to Los Angeles and the Giants permis sion to move to San Francisco. The league sstipulated that they request the shifts before Oct. 1 and make the move together. Eugene Within One Game Of First in NVV Circuit By UNITED PRESS Northwest League standings got a major shakeup Wednesday as Wenatchee crowded Salm out of third place, Lewiston hand ed the cellar slot to Tri-City, and the high-flying Eugene Emeralds pulled within one game of first place but faltering Yakima.

SAN DIEGO PADRES TIP LA ANGELS TO GET TIE FOR 1ST DIVISION SPOT By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The San Diego Padres got their noses above the Pacific Coast league waterline for the first time Wednesday night, but still faced an upstream swim to get into contention. The Padres, generally picked for the pennant, have spent the season thus far Delow the .500 mark. But Wednesday night the Pads beat Los Angeles 3-1 and moved above that mark for the first time. They also moved into a tie with the Angels for the last spot in the PCL first divis ion. There was no change in the Vancouver-San Francisco leap frog for first place as both teams lost. The Hollywood Stars dumped Vancouver 5-0 and Sac ramento beat San Francisco 2-1 on a heads-up play by Harry Bright. Seattle got a 2-1 decision over Portland in the other game. Grant Fans 13 San Diego won its second straight from Los Angeles be hind the four-hit pitching of Jim Grant who fanned 13 en route to his third win of the year Preston Ward's sixth inning homer, which gave the Pads a 2-0 lead, was the only circuit clout of the night in the loop. The loss went to John Jancse. Bright reached across the plate while he was being pur posely walked in the bottom of the ninth to tap a ball into the outfield for a clean hit and drive home Al Heist from third base with the run that won for Sacramento. Tommy Hurd, who took the loss, and winner Joe Stanka had staged a hot duel until the ninth when San Francisco got an Un earned run and the Solons came back with two marred tallies. Hurd gave up five hits and Stanka seven. George Witt subdued Vancou ver for the Stars with a three hit shutout. His mates scored two off Charlie Beamon in the third frame and chased him with three more in the sixth. Stars Gain Ground It was the second straight win for the Stars over the Mounties and brought them to within three games of the top spot. Duane Pillette starred on the mound and at the plate for Se attle. Pillette relieved starter Russ Meyer when he pulled a muscle in the third and three hitted the Beavers the rest of the way to get the win. In addi tion he drove in a sixth-inning run that broke a 1-1 tie with a single. Bob Thorpe absorbed the defeat.
