o Starts, bounties Gain One, Harrow San Francisco Lead By JIM HEALY United States Sports Writer The San Francisco Seals had better be immune to claustro phobia becau:ie Hollywood and Vancouver ai closing in on them, and faat. The tough Hollywood Stars stung the Pacific Coast League leading Seals Thursday night to the tune of 3-1 to move within four games of the leadership themselves. At the same time, Vancouver stayed two percentage points ahead of Hollywood, and also four games out, ,by whipping ban Diego, 3-1. It was the third loss in- a row for the Seals and also the third loss for San Francisco starting hurler Bill Prout. The Seals started with their one and only run in the first. But Hollywood came back tith one each in the fifth, sixth and seventh to cop the win. Don Ferrarese gave up only four hits in leading Vancouver to its win over the Padres, one of those accounting for the only San Diego score in the -second frame. Aguirra Loeei The Mounties trailed until the fourth when they put across the tying run. They got one more in the sixth, ' then hit starter and loser Hank Aguirre for three others in the seventh frame. In the other loop contests Seattle defeated Los Angeles 7-3 while Sacramento and Port land split a doubleheader the Solons taking the opener 10-2, then losing the nightcap 4-1 to the Beavers. The Raniers won their series beginner mainly on the strength of home runs by Kay Orteig, Joe Taylor, and Hal Bevan in that order. It was Taylor's 22nd homer of the year. He Is Steve Bilko's closest rival. . The big man himself clouted one for Los Angeles during the contest his 34th. Bilko brought in the other two Los Angeles runs. ,' . The Solons won their opening game with runs to spare. Win ner Roger Osenbough gave up eight hits, but Portland could only turn those into single runs in the second and seventh frames the first being a homer by Earl Rapp. Back-To-Back Jim Westlake got the first Solon score with a triple in the beginning frame. Then in the seventh, Lyle Olsen and Ed White hit back-to-back homers with none on. Jim Greengrass capped the scoring with a homer in the eighth with two on. Sacramento scored first in the second contests, but Bob Bor kowski homered in the fifth to tie it up. That, along with one good run and two unearned tal lies, gave the Beavers their split.

By HAL WOOD United Press Spoils Writer San Francisco HP) The West Coast's population growing pains? largest evr experienced by any region in such a sJjort span of history, probably will re sult in the extinction 4f two of the oldest athletic leagues' in the country within the next few years. It appears right now that the Pacific Coast League, founded in 1903, is headed for the junk heap. And the Pacific Coast Confer ence, the (jpllege unit, may join the PCL in the land of limbo by 1960. The disruption of the PCL ap pears to be a foregone con clusion. The next step may be the formation of a new league that will eliminate San Francis co and LosAngeles when those two clubs go into the major?. It would be hard to conceive of San Diego, Seattle, Portland, and Sacramento without some type of professional baseball. Each city has a trade area of better than a half million per sons. Some are closer to 1,000, 000.. , The Question But what the.future holds for the Pacific Coast Conference is certainly a question. This group, organized in 1915, now is 42 years old. But there is increasing thought among some of the southern schools to break off from the fiortherr group in the light of recently . imposed penalties. There has been talk ef a con-i ference with Southern Cali fornia, UCLA, California, Stan ford, College of Pacifjp, San Jose State, Fresno State and San Diego State. All have big enough trade territories to support major league college football. Additionally, Arizona Tempe State, with a student population, of better than 6,000; and Univer sity of Arirona, slightly larger, probably would like to come into sifch a conference. Every school mentioned in this proposed con ference is in a trade, area of better than one-quarter millian persons. San Diego and Phoenix, 10 miles .from Arizona State, have around a half-million trade areas.5 How About Stanford? There has been talk of this same conference without Stan ford. The . Stanford school has sided quite a bit with Oregon, Washington, 'Oregon State and Washington State in imposing penalties. If Cal, USC and UCLA should pull out, there is the pos sibility that Stanford would stay with the Northwest schools. The Original PCC, organized at Port land Dec. 2, 1915, had Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and California as members so there is precedent for a lone California school playing in a conference with Northwest members. Getting three cities to fill out the va cancies in the PCL might 'be tougher. Phoenix might be considered. But Spokane and Ta coma in Washington;Salt Lake City, Utah;. and" possibly Fresno and Stockton in California may be available. San Jsse would be too close to San Francisco; and Long Beach too clfte to Los Angles.
