Friday, September 13, 1957 Rainiers May Play in '58 Seattle (IP) Baseball fans here may have watched the Se attle Rainiers' last performance in the Pacific Coast league Thursday night. If so, the 20-2 spanking by Hollywood would be an ignominious exit for own er Emil Sick's Suds, defenders of the baseball faithful here for more than 19 years. The Rainiers brought home five pennants since Sicks' Sta dium opened in June of 1938, three in a row since 1939, an other in 1951 and the last in 1955. But Sick still believes there's a chance to operate his club if the major league invasion of the West Coast is limited to one team. Sick told reporter Lenny An derson of the Seattle Times that if the New York Giants alone were permitted to move to San Francisco, he believed he would field a team next year. "We would continue on that basis," he said, "unless the ar rangement looks so impermanent as to make that kind of an opera tion unfeasible." Sick had said previously that if both the Giants and the Brook lyn Dodgers moved to the coast he might not operate the Rain iers in 1958. Such a double move would take the five California teams out of the PCL. "If only the Giants come," Sick said, "the loss of San Fran cisco and Sacramento could be made up by picking up such cities as Denver and Salt Lake City. If those moves could be made, I believe the league would do better than it has done in the past." Sick said however, he would have to wait on a decision by Dodger President Walter O'Mal ley before making up his mind on the Seattle situation. BLAKE REHIRED Montreal (IP) Hector (Toe) Blake, who took over as coach of the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League three years ago when the late Dick Irvin left to coach the Chi cago Black Hawks, has signed to coach the Canadiens for his third season. Blake signed for one year and it was believed he received an increase in salary. ORIOLES SIGN TWO Baltimore (IP) Dick Nebing er, a 17-year-old third baseman, and 19-year-old pitcher Jimmy Lehew, both of Baltimore, have been signed by the Orioles to farm club contracts. Nebinger goes to San Antonio of the Texas League, while Lehew goes to Aberdeen, S.D., in the Class C Northern League. minimum n iiiw'wmafctTfmmH WORLD LEADERS TwonCisjEDouse Suds As Leaders Lose Anyone who thinks the twin kle has gone chit of the Holly wood Stars simply hasn't seen Thursday night's Pacific Coast League baseball results. In this case, the twinkle is named Paul Pettit. The 26-year-old former S50,00Q bonus pitcher for the Pittsburg Pirates batted in an amazing total of 10 runs as the Stars smashed Seattle to the doleful tune of 20-2. Six of Pettit's runs came on two homers one in the third with a man on, and another in the game-wrecking 11-run fifth frame with the bags loaded. Hol lywood starter George Witt coasted to his 18th win against seven losses, giving up seven hits in the process. The Stars collect ed 18 hits off five Rainier pitch ers. Starter Tom Gibson (2-1) lost. The San Francisco Seals dropped their game to Los Ange les. So it stands to reason that Vancouver should also have lost. And it did, greasing the skids just a bit more for the Seals' first pennant in 11 years. Those respective scores were Los An geles 3, San Francisco 2, Port land 8, Vancouver 4. In the other loop contest, Sac ramento came from behind to whip San Diego, 6-3. The game in Los Angeles went along smoothly with the Angels collecting tallies in the fifth and sixth. However, San Francisco knotted the score in the seventh and eighth frames and the game went into an extra inning. That is when Leo ( Kiley, the third Seal hurler, 'served one right down the middle which Bobby Jenkins slammed out of the park for Connie Grob's sixth win against three losses. Kiely is now 21-7. It was the second straight win for Portland over the wavering Mounties. The Beavers tied the score 1-1 in the second on a Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Only the finest is fine enoughl'This philosophy has made these Seagram brands world leaders.

ALWAYS NAME YOUR BRAND MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE triple by Luis Marquez, then went ahead and stayed there with a three-ijun outburst in the third frame. Vancouver used four of Its best pitchers trying vainly to stem Portland. Starter George Bamberger caught the loss. Bob Borkowski homered for Portland in the seventh and Owen Friend did the honors for Vancouver with one on in the eighth. Another come-from-behind ef fort was successfully made by Sacramento when the Solons scragged a two-run San Diego lead and move ahead in the fifth. All San Diego's tallies came on two homers, Earl Averill in the first one on and Bill Harrell in the third. The final series of the season begins tonight with Sacramento meeting the Seals in San Fran cisco, Seattle going to Vancou ver, Hollywood playing Portland and San Diego at Los Angeles.
