er, stayed ahead in the Pacific
Coast league batting chase on
two fronts with a .399 average
and 25 homeruns.
' While the Canadians breezed
to a 4-1 victory over Spokane
Tuesday" night, Sacramento
made it two straight over
Phoenix, 7-0. and Portland
shaded San Diego, 2-1, in a
13-inning marathon. Vancou
ver's win left the 'Mounties
with a 11 2 game margin over
the Giants and a three-game
bulge "over the slipping
Padres.
Seattle blanked Salt Lake,
4-0, as the fourth-place Bees
continued their slide down
ward. The loss shoved the
Bees nine games back of Van
couver. Palica Wins 12th
Erv Palica picked up his
12th victory of the season as
he allowed Spokane only five
hits. The Indians scorea "their
only run when Jim Williams
unloaded a splo four-bagger
in the fifth inning.
Owen Friend and Jim Dyck

a home run apiece. Catcher
Charlie White contributed
three safeties. The loss went
to Connie Grob, who went
the distance for the losers.

string when Don Nicholas

though Vic Lombardi came

Wojey, the third of three
Padre hurlers, got the loss.
Greene Cuffs Giants'
Phoenix could do little with
the offerings of Sacramento's
Carl Greene as the Solon
right-hander put the Giants
down with only five hits and
helped his own cause with a
home run in the second in
ning.' The Sac's collected 14
hits off a trio of Phoenix hurl
ers. Seattle, behind the eight
hit pitching of Ted Wieand,
handed Salt Lake its sixth
loss in the last eight games
to drop the Bees to their worst
position in more than a
month. The Rainiers'- backed
up Wieand with a 10-hit at
tack, including homers by
Jim McManus and Gale Wade.
The Bees staged a mild
threat in the seventh on
singles by Joe Christopher
and Dick Barone, but Wieand
fanned two pinch-hitters to

Sxuzina Faces
Webb Tonight
New York (UPD German
middleweight Franz Szuzina
craves victory instead of blue-
blooded martyrdom tonight in
his first Madison Square Gar
den fight with Spider Webb.
"Maybe I get-the decision if
I win yah?" said the stubby,
muscular carpenter from
Bremen.
He said that because he had
dropped a very unpopular
split verdict to Joey Giardello
at a "black tie" dinner fight
in Washington, D.C., June 11.
That was the night Wash
ington society leaders made a
martyr of Franz by forgetting
social amenities and booing
the decision thunderously.
Columbus Tips
Royals in Pair
United Press International
The Columbus Jets, taking
their hopes for a fourth-place
finish in the International
league on the road with them,

and 7-2; to take a half-game
edge over Miami for the fourth
and final playoff spot.
Elsewhere Tuesday, the cel
lar-dwelling Buffalo Bisons
enjoyed a 14-6 walloping over
Miami; Dick Ricketts went all
the way and yielded only four
hits to lead Rochester to an
8-2 decision over Havana; and
the Richmond-Toronto game
was postponed by rain.
GAME UNCERTAIN rf
Portland (UPD An Oct. 10
appearance by the St. Louis
Cardinals is still not a cer
tainty, according to Don
Walker, member of the Port
land Beavers board of direc
tors. Walker said the board
would first have to approve
the exhibition game and he
pointed out that costs of reno
vating the stadium turf after
football games have been
played on it might make the
game impractical from a fi
nancial standpoint.
