Martin Holds Stingy Title San Francisco W Morrie Martin of the second-place Van couver Mounties held the title of stingiest pitcher in the Pacific Coast league this week with an excellent earned run average of 1.71 in 142 innings of hurling. Precentage-wise. Bill Aberna- thie of San Francisco topped the loop with 12 wins and two losses for an .857 mark. . Keely of the Seals had the most wins with 17 and Jim (Mudcat) Grant of San Diego was tops in strikeouts with 122. On the debit side, Roger Osen baugh of Sacramento had the most losses with 14. pitcher Roger Osenbaugh singled to left, was sacrificed to second, and scored on a double by Leo Righetti. Bottler doubled down the line to left field in Portland's third. Ed Winceniak walked and Luis Marquez scored Bottler with a double to left. Earl Rapp scor ed Winceniak and Marquez with a single. Don Kaiser was the loser. The double win second in a row for the Solons put them four games ahead of the Beavers in the series here. Heavy hitting by Cuno Bar ragan and Harry Bright assist ed the Solon win in the opener. Winceniak Homen Barragan's third homer of the season came of a pitch by John Carmichael in the second in ning, with the bags empty. An inning later, he tripled - and drove home two runs. Also in the Solon's big third which sent Carmichael to the showers and brought in Darrell Martin Bright tripled, and Jim Green grass hit a double. It was five runs on five hits and an error for Sacramento in that frame. For Portland, Ed Winceniak smacked a two-run homer in the fifth. Other Monday night PCL scores included Vancouver 3, San Francisco 2 and Hollywood 14, Los Angeles 0. It may have sounded like the rattle of musketry coming from Gilmore Stadium Monday night but it wasn't the Battle of Water loo revisited it was merely the Hollywood Stars banging out 20 hits in their 14-0 shelling of the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels may be well down in the second division of the Pa cific Coast League but they nev er before this season suffered such a humiliating defeat. The victory for the Stars moved them up a game on the league-leading San Francisco Seals, who lost a squeaker up in Capilano Stadium to second place Vancouver, 3-2. ' But the debacle in Gilmore Stadium was not the only sur prise in PCL action Monday night. Hold on to your score card Sacramento is out of the cellar again. The Solons moved up into the rarefied air of seventh place by trouncing the. faltering, stagger ing, what-are-we-d oing-here Portland Beavers twice, 10-6 and 6-5. George Witt got his ninth straight victory and his 15th in 19 decisions by limiting the Angels to three hits. The Stars put things on ice in the fourth when they got to Angel starter John Jancse and his reliefer Babe Birrer for seven runs on seven hits before the lights were pulled, with hard luck John re ceipting for his 10th loss of the campaign. Up British Columbia way. Vancouver pulled even in the series with the Seals at 2-2 by coming from behind in the eighth inning with two runs to embarrass Seal starter Jack Spring with his sixth loss of the season. The win pulled the Mounties within four games qf the front runners. Sacramento yanked itself up to only 29 V games out with their double lacing of the now place Beavers. Now, if there were 100 games left in the sea son but that's the same dream of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and there ain't that much hemp in Baghdad to make THAT come true! As for the San Diego Padres and Seattle . . . They're still around. However they were not scheduled Monday night so they both picked up a half game on the Seals. The Pads, wistfully studying their pre-season press notices, are still firmly in third place, five games out. The Rai niers are kings of the second division, 12 games away. tup ITVFsrOHKS: T nc AnlM . 000 000 000 0 3 3 Hn'llvwoorf 103 703 00x 14 20 0 Jancse. Birrer 4 and Battey; W and Hall.

Game time is 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds field. No loop honors are at stake tomorrow but a lot of prestige is involved. With the clubs each having tripped each other twice this season this fifth matching will be the rubber encounter. Drain currently is trying to prove itself best in state by com peting in the American Amateur Baseball congress tournament at Portland. If the Studs can whip the Sox and Drain goes on to Rams, Cards Share Field With Bevos Portland Multnomah stad ium will be a beehive of activity Labor day week end with a heavy schedule of baseball games and a professional foot ball encounter between the Chi cago Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams.

Main PHONE: take the state meeting, the Cheney stature will get a con siderable boost. i Much Tougher The Black Sox are expected to be a much tougher team Wed nesday than the combination which Medford downed 5 to 2 and 9 to 8 and which then beat the Studs 4 to 2 and 10 to 2. Drain has lost Second Baseman Wimp Hastings for the campaign but has picked up strength with the addition of Infielders Ad Rutschman and Vern Marshall and Pitcher Noel Aronson. With Stan Dmochowski, Jerry Pflug and Jack Henkel on hand, the Sox have more mound depth than the Studs. But Medford hopes to be a full strength for the rubber ruck us. The Studs were a bit make shift when they lost 10 to 2, because of injuries. Possible Drain line-up is Ar onson, pitching; Irv Roth, catch ing; Ron Bown or Vern Marshall at first base, Bill Levin or Rutschman at second, Dan Luby at shortstop, Manager Ray Strat ton at third, and among Norv Ritchie, Pat Wohlers, Jerry Gregg and Ron Bowen in the outfield. Jerry Bartow may be on the hill for the Studs with Manager Frank Roelandt be'hind the plate. nest of the likely line-up is Jack Cooney at first, Larry Perkins at second, Ron Owings at shortstop, Frank Rector at third and Jerry Droscher, John Kovenz and Ed Reinking, outfielders. 13 Won in Row Medford will carry a season record of 20 wins and four de feats into the scrap. Drain has a season standing of 18 victories and five setbacks. The Black Sox have copped 13 straight. The visitors probably field a club with more overall experi ence while the Studs field a gang with a nucleus of seasoned play ers surrounded by up and com ing baseballers. Medford's com bination has provided plenty of interesting ball. The Studs enter Wednesday's action with a .324 team swat ting average.. Of their 292 hits 34 per cent have been for extra bases. They have a total of 26 homers, 20 three-baggers and 54 two-base safeties. Droscher, from Roseburg and Oregon State college, heads the club with a .406 slugging mark. Roelandt follows with 374 and Bartow has .370. There are sev en players with averages of .329 or better. Ron Owings and John Kovenz each have hit five home runs. Rector is the runs batted in leader with 34 and Kovenz has 28.

Parker Quits Lions Nominates Successor By JACK BERRY United Press Sports Writer Detroit IP Buddy Parker said today he definitely quit as head coach of the Detroit Lions and he nominated assistant coach George Wilson to take his place when, the Lions open the exhibition season' here Wednes day night against the Cleveland Browns. Parker shocked President Ed win J. Anderson, many of the directors and all of the players, at the annual "Meet the Lions Banquet" Monday night by an nouncing his resignation. "When you get to the situation where you can't handle your football players it's time to get out and that's what I'm doing tonight," said Parker, one of the most successful coaches in pro ranks. The effect couldn't have been greater than if an atomic bomb had been dropped. For a mom ent there was a dead silence then milling, buzzing crowd. Anderson hurriedly conferred with General Manager W. Nich olas Kerbawy and then went to the speaker's stand. Will Not Reconsider "I'm sure Buddy is just emo tionally upset over two things that happened today, Anderson said. "With a good night's sleep to think it over and realize what he's said in public, he'll recon sider," he said as fans yelled "don't be a quitter, Buddy!" But Parker says he has no intention of reconsidering. "Detroit As just dead," the Texan drawled later. "I've been in pro football as a player and a coach since 1935 and I know what I can do with a team. So far in practice this year I have not been able to do anything with them," Parker said. He refused to single out any players and said he knew "noth ing" of the "two things" that Anderson talked about.

"George Wilson probably will take over as coach," Parker said without hesitation when asked who would get the job. Wilson had been with Detroit as end and offensive backfield coach since 1949. He played with the tough Chicago Bears of the early 1940s and went to Northwest ern. "There's a lot of good foot ball players with the. Lions," Parker said. "But I couldn't do anything," said the man who signalled the rebirth of pro foot ball in Detroit. Under Parker's tutelage th Lions won three straight West ern Division titles, 1952-53-54, and won the National Football league title in 1952 and 1953.
