San Diego Klips Se Angels Smash Solons, 8-3 San Diego, Calif. (IP! Albie Pearson, who stands five feet six inches, Saturday banged out a bases-loaded 10th inning home run to give league-leading San Francisco a 6-2 win over San Di ego in a Coast league game. The game had been delayed for two hours and four minutes between the first and second in nings because of a heavy down pour. The victory gave the Seals a 2-0 lead in the two clubs' cur rent series. San Francisco took a 1-0 lead In the first inning, but the Pad res tied it up on Dave Pope's homer in the sixth. Each team added a run in the next inning, San Diego's coming on Allen Jones' home run. Kiely Wins 20th The win went to lefthanded Leo Kiely (20-4), who came in in the eighth to relieve 18-year-old Bill Prout. Prout started against 20-year-old Gary Bell, who went the distance and took his fourth loss against one win. Bell could take comfort in the fact that until he walked Grady Hatton in the seventh, he had retired 17 Seals in a row. He began setting 'em down after the first inning score. It's be R. W. Smith (11-10) and Tom Hurd (9-6) for San Francisco tomorrow and Jim (Mud Cat) Grant (16-6) and Bill Werle (8-7) for San Diego. The doubleheader will wind up the series. Los Angeles (TP) Tom Las orda, backed up by home run hitting by Bob Jenkins, Jim Fridley and Steve Bilko, pitched an eight hitter today as the Los Angeles Angels dumped the Sac ramento Solons, 8-3, in a Pa cific Coast league contest at Wrigley Field. Lasorda struck out five bat ters and walked only two in gaining the victory, his sixth of the season. He has lost 10. Loser Roger Bowman (5-11) started for the Sacs but needed help from Carl Green in the third. The victory gave the Angels a 2-0 edge over the Solons in the current series. Bilko Hits 56th Bilko's homer, his 56th of the year, came in the sixth inning and was a tremendous drive over the rightfield screen. It tied the Angel club record for homers, set in 1935 by Gene Lil lard, and left Bilko only four roundtrippers behind the league record of 60. Jenkins collected his homer in the second, bringing in the first Angel tally. It was his 10th homer of the year. Fridley's round tripper was his 13 th of the year and came in the fourth with Bilko aboard on a walk. The other four Angel tallies came in the third inning on four singles and two walks. Sacramento scored twice in the first inning when Jim Westlake hit hi3 fifth homer of the year with Tom Agosta aboard by a single. The other tally came in the fifth when Agosta hit his fourth homer of the season. The series winds up tomorrow with a doubleheader. Sacramen to will start Bud Watkins (7-9) and Earl Harrist (5-11) against the Angels' Connie Grob (5-3) and John Jancse (8-11). (10 Innings) San Francisco .. 6 9 0 San Diego 2 7 1 Prout.

They were in the first and third rounds. "I sent him into retirement," said 26-year-old Miceli. "That was something champion Car mer Basilio couldn't do. I've earned a shot at Basilio, or if Basilio wins Ray Robinson's mid dleweight crown, I should be high in the tourney for Basilio's vacant title."

Warren says that the Crater team is "going to be small." Top weight among linemen who showed best during the past week is 175 pounds. The start ing line may average 170 pounds.

Randy Campbell, who has been switching between end and center, and Jim Goldenpenny, tackle, are lineman who lettered last year. Leslie Kellow, a sen ior, who gained a letter for three year membership on the squad, has been shifted from back to guard and is doing well at his new spot. Warren indicated that he is alternating Wayne Allen and Kerman Bennett between quar ter and fullback posts to be utilized to the fullest abilities of each. Some 51 uniforms have been issued to grid candidates. More than 40 have been reporting for evening drills and more than 30 for morning sessions.
