TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, September, 6, 1S57 Vancouver Blows Opportunity To Gain Ground on SF In PCL BY JIM HEALY United Press Sports Writer If anyone happens to see nine grown men angrily jumping up and down on their caps, don't call the nearest booby hatch. Its only the Vancouver Moun ties working off their well earn ed frustrations. Tt all starter! earlv Thurs day night when Hugs Peppert pitched a one hitter for Holly wood to tromp Pacific Coast league-leading San Francisco 6-0. Figuring that here at least was a chance to move a game closer to the Seals, Vancouver turned on the steam and tied up their game with Seattle, 8-8 in the fifth. And that's the way it went, for 15 tense innings, until the Rai niers' Dick Aylward singled home Morrie Wills in the bottom of the 15th to win the contest, 9-8, and keep the Mounties still three and a half games away from San Francisco. George Bamberger, the fifth Vancouver pitcher of the eve ning, caught the loss. He is now 14-11. Duane Pillette 15-7 was the third Rainier to face the Mounties and won. Near Immortality Pepper, a 26-year-old Missis sippian, also deserves to stomp a few caps. He had a no-hitter go ing until the ninth .when Ed Sadowski, the Seals' second base man, slammed out a single to keep Pepper from adding his name to the immortals of PCL history. Pepper walked only one man ctnifk out one other while his team collected 16 hits off a helpless San Francisco. He also zAAoA in his own cause with three hits which accounted for one of the Stars' RBIs. Paul Pet tit hit his 17th homer of the year for the last run of the game after the Stars had collected one each in the first, second, third, sixth and seventh frames. In other games, Sacramento doused San Diego, 1-0, while Portland came from behind to dump Los Angeles, 5-4. The Beavers, trailing by two runs going into the seventh, hopped on Angel starter Babe Birrer tor three hits, two walks and a sacrifice fly. One of the hits, a single by K. C. Wise, ac counted for two of the Portland runs. Dick Fielder added a little color to his pallid pitching r-A nH is now 4-14. George Anderson helped put the Angels into their early lead with a two run homer in the second.
