"The Farmers Store Since 1884 25 South Sacramento Beaten But Boosts Lead in Pacific Coast Loop By DON BECKER United Press International Looks like Sacramento can't do anything wrong - even when it loses. The Solons were defeated by Phoenix Thursday night, 5-2, but they increased their PCL league lead to five games. Salt Lake handed second place San Diego a pair of los ses to account for the unusual happenings. Dick Hall, who may be the best seven-inning pitcher in baseball, shut out the Padres in the first game, 5-0, and Jack Bloomfield socked a lQth in ning double that gave the Bees one second contest by a 5-4 score. In other games, Spokane's Connie Crob whitewashed Vancouver, 1-0, and Portland clipped last place Seattle, 4-1. Hall's Thud Shutout Hall's shutout was his third of the season in seven-inning games. In regulation scraps, Hall has failed to win a deci sion. His record is 3-3. The lanky righthander gave up eight hits. Shortstop Dick Barone, who sparkled afield, also lead the Bees at the plate with a homer, his first of. the season. In the second game, Gene Leek, who joined the Padres from Cleveland just in time, for the doubleheader, cracked a two-run homer that gave San Diego a brief lead in the second inning. But the Bees came back and scored their winning run in the tenth after relief pitcher Jay Striker walked two to set the stage for Bloomfield's smash off the right field wall. Phoenix relief on the big inning again Thursday night. The Giants scored six runs in the sixth inning. Jose Pagan and Bill Wilson belted homers for Phoenix. Eddie Fisher be came the first pitcher to reg ister six wins in the PCL as he went all the way for the Giants. The loss ended a five game winning streak for the Sacs who got their only two runs when JBuddy Feterson belted a two-run homer in the ninth. Sacramento's starter, Chuck Hickman, hurled hitless ball until Pagan led off the sixth with his homer. Indians Tighten Hold on Third Spokane entrenched itself in third place on its win over Vancouver. Grob was in trouble in only one inning as he held Vancouver to five hits. Catcher Norm Sherry hit an eighth-inning homer to give Grob his. win. The Indians were held to one hit by 21-year-old Chuck Estrada who worked the first seven innings for the Mounties.

Sugar Ray Tells Plans To Appeal New York - JUPD - Middle weight champion Ray Robin son planned to take the stand today at his final hearing, and publicly challenge Carmen Basilio to fight. It was to , be a last-ditch effort to prevent the New York State Athletic commis sion from vacating his title. 'And if they do take my title, I'll appeal right on through to the United States Supreme Court," Robinson said. When the hearing was ad journed last Wednesday, the commissioners seemed to be sharpening the axe for an exe cution today. They seemed to have found Robinson guilty of failing to arrange, by May 15, for a title defense against ex-champion Basilio. May 15 was the dead line set by commission and court for him to "enter into articles of agreement" with Basilio. On Wednesday the commis sion ruled that Ray's contract for a Philadelphia defense against Basilio, next Sept. 21, was invalid because only Ray had "signed. Moreover, the Philadelphia contract between Robinson and promoter Sam Rose depended upon a mys terious number-two contract that never was produced at the hearing. Also a guarantee of more than $238,000 to Ba silio had been offered long after the May 15 deadline. i Robinson, who hasn't de fended since he recaptured the 160-pound title from Basilio 14 months ago, was stripped of his title by the National Boxing association on May 4. The independent New York commission is not a member of the NBA. Elkins Case Heard By Supreme Court Salem -fflPB-Portland night light figure James B.

Beaverton, led by versatile Steve Pauly, will enter 15 ath Colored Ghosts Provide Mirthful Entertainment Camp White - There wasioff his shoe to revive .the hilarious entertainment for softball fans here last night once the fun began. The Iowa Colored Ghosts, traveling clowns of the sport, playing the Camp White semi pro baseball nine, were given little- chance to cut-up during the first five innings when the fine pitching of the Whiters' Vern Collins made a good game of it. Final score of the "contest," which was coincidental to the fun, was 3 to 2, favoring the bornstorming crew. Collins allowed the Ghosts only one hit through five in nings and the score stood 1 to 1. Then Collins' arm tired. Jack Burns relieved him. The Ghosts found his offerings more to their liking, got two runs in the sixth inning and intensified their mirthful show. And, the colored gang came up with a host of tricks and antics to tickle the fancy of the spectators. Runners on first and second for the Ghosts ran and ex changed bases. First base coach and runner frequently changed places until nobody knew who was runner and who was coach. Then the Ghosts got a man on third base. The runner stole toward home and shook hands with the umpire while the Camp White catcher tagged him out. But it turned out to be the third base coach who was tagged and the legal runner still was safe at third base. Ghost third baseman and manager Rip Collins once batted with a bludgeon that looked like an oversized beer bottle. Then Ghost pitcher Treetop tossed easy to Pete riaie, lw nrst oaseman. mies. took a wicKea swing ana ine "ball," a grapefruit, splattered all over the stadium. The barnstormers gave the plate umpire, John Willis, a bad time. They covered the plate with dirt, swiped the ump's plate broom and drop ped it when handing to him. Burns tripled for the home club in the seventh inning. Rip Collins shouted that he de served a home run and led the Whiter by hand across the plate. Two Ghosts laid on the dia mond simulating boat fishing. Bats were used for oars. The boat upset and one man swam for shore with stream of water coming from his mouth. The' other man was overcome and rescued. A doctor was called and his bag contained various liquor bottles. Te finally took SP 2-5211. letes. Its biggest challenge is expected from Jefferson of Portland, South Salem and Grants Pass. Coquille, Rainier and Nyssa are considered the teams to beat in the A-2 division. Co quille and Rainier have 14 entries each. No such onslaught on rec ords as occurred last year is expected. Fourteen marks were broken and one was tied last year. angler. The stricken fisherman spouted streams of water when artificial respiration was applied. The shadow ball game after regular game was hilarious. Players warmed up and play ed without ball, Had argu ments with ump and tag outs on bases. Pitcher Frank Hesser had slow ball which he fol lowed to plate, pushing it along, blowing it and steering it by hand. The batter missed it. A runner coming in from third was blocked by catcher. They played tic-tac-toe in dirt waiting for chance to make tag. The runner slid his hand under the catcher's leg, touch ed the base and was called safe. ; The Ghosts scored on a two- base error and a hit in the third inning. Camp White got a run in the same frame when, on a single by Don Wendt and a triple by Bob Smith. Camp ,White fielders had trouble holding the ball because of the pockets in their gloves being shaped for regular base ball. ; LINE SCORE: Colored Ghosts ' 001 002 0 S Camp White 001 000 1 2 Treetop and Hesser; Collin, Burns (6) and Wettle.

No Progress in Steel Contract Talks Reported New York-(UPD-Negotiators for the United Steelworkers of America and the big steel industry meet again today with no progress reported as yet in their efforts to reach a contract agreement before a possible June 30 strike. Industry spokesmen re-emphasized their opposition to any wage increase for the nation's 500,000 steelworkers Thursday in two public speeches. Declines Comment Union president David J. McDonald declined to com ment on fhe speeches made by Roger M. Blough, chair man of U.S. Steel, and Clif ford F. Hood, a U.S. Steel director, beyond noting that "they have said nothing dif ferent from what they have said before." Blough spoke before the National Press Club in Wash ington. McDonald will address the same group next Wednes day. ' Hood, speaking before the National Industrial Confer ence Board here, said that about one-quarter of steel in dustry production is going into stockpiles against a pos sible strike. Logger Killed Near Cape Lookout Tillamook -0IPD-Ernest Otis Newberg, 48, Sand Lake, was killed Thursday afternoon in a logging accident just south east of Cape Lookout State Park near here. Newberg was a log skinner for the Ray Feazel Logging company of Netarts. He had rolled a log from the upper side of a road and the root of a windfall tree came loose and rolled down a hill over his tractor. Officials said he was ap parently trying to get off the machine when the log struck. Newberg, who was unmar ried, died en route to Tilla mook county hospital. The mills are producing at 94 per cent of capacity, he said, but consumption is only 70 to 75 per cent of the pro duction.
