Owen Friend tripled twice for Vancouver, batting in one run and scoring another himself. The only Seal runs came in the eighth when Tom Umphlett singled in Harry Malmberg and Ed Sadowski. In San Diego, the Rainiers jumped off to an early one run lead, adding its last tally in the top of the seventh. In the bot tom of that frame, San Diego let go with a three run splurge that put them out in front. They added two more in the eighth to cinch it. Jim Grant won his sixth consecutive contest in go ing the distance and is now 12-5. Ked Munger, 6-8. was handed the loss. Ls Angeles collected two of its runs just enough for the win on homers by Steve Bilko and newcomer Earl Battey.

Bennie Daniels, 14-5, lost, while Tom .LaSorda got his fifth win against six losses in going the distance. The game in Portland may be a bone of contention for some time. In the eighth, and with the Solons leading 4-3, Frank Cars well hit a homer inside the park with one on, which Umpire Bob St. Clair called a ground rule double. However, Head Umpire Cece Carluccfsaid every ball is playable in Multnomah stadium, and therefore, ruled it a round ipper.

Rademacher-Patterson Mix History Maker No Matter What Its Result May Be By RAY ANDREWS Seattle, Wash. 0P Pete Rademacher is quite a salesman. He has arranged a prize fight guaranteed to go down in ring history whatever the outcome. Pete also must be somewhat of a Walter Mitty. He has never been in the professional ring in his life he has only seen two pro fights, but a week from Thursday he will square off with the heavyweight champion of the world. Something of the philantropist is in Rademacher, too. For while champ Floyd Patterson is guaran teed $250,000 just to put on the gloves, the chances are good Rademacher won't make a penny unless he wins and be comes champion. That is not likely. So perplex ed are bookmakers at the spec tacle of this 28-year-old amateur taking on the world's best that "any of them wont lay any odds. They cannot recall a precedent unless it be the Fourth of July 34 years ago when Jack Dempsey almost made a ghost town of Shelby, Mont. Will Survive Fight Seattle will probably survive the fight Aug. 22, but a group of Columbus, Ga., businessmen al most certainly will drop a quar ter million dollars. How they were persuaded to put it up is a story in itself. Rademacher is not a pro but he did win the Olympic title at Melbourne last year. And he feels that he is good enough to get in the ring with the champ, notwithstanding warnings from as far away as London where a boxing writer foresaw the end of the fight game. Rademacher laughts at the ridicule. "Everybody in camp seems to hp trvin to Drotect me from the wisecrack being made about the fight," he says. "They edit tne paper for me. All I get is the front page and the funnies, inen They even cut out Joe Palooka. They don t want me to reaa any thing about boxing. But I know what people are saying and it rolls off me. "I go into every fight, I don't care how bie he is or how rough he is, with the idea of being re laxed. Conservative and Quiet Rademacher is a conservative. quiet person. He wears a gray flannel suit nicely and speaKs with intelligence on most sub jects. What's left of his balding hair is closely cropped and he could be taken for a junior exe cutive or a nrofessor. He weights 212 pounds, stands six feet, two and one-half incnes. He is married and the father of a two-year-old daughter. He dreamed of becoming a baseball player and did play college foot ball before going into amateur boxing. Rademacher was born in Tie- ton, Wash., a wee town 18 miles west of Yakima. For nine vears he attended grade school in Tie- ton, then his rancher latner sent him to Castle Heights Military academy in Tennessee. After his first year there he contracted rheumatic fever. "I thought I never would re cover from that, he says, l spent four months in bed and rested for a whole year. But finally I whipped it and went on to participate fully in athletics. I've been perfectly healthy ever since." Wis Washington UDbringinS may be a sentimental reason for choosing Seattle for his first pro fioht hut rjrobablv more im portant is the fact that the Wash ington State Athletic commis sion aDoroved it while others across the country would have no part of it.
