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.

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.
