Tacoma Increases PCL Lead With 8-3 Win Over Portland By United Press International The Tacoma Giants today were whistling a variation of that old standard, "what a difference a day makes." Only Giants would change the title slightly and call it, what a difference a week makes." Just a week ago Tacoma held a slim half - game lead over the Seattle Rainiers in the Pacific Coast league's Northern Division pennant chase. Today, and seven games later, that margin has grown to a comfortable three and one-half games. The Giants added to their lead Monday night when they scored six runs in the first inning and coasted to an 8-3 victory over Ihe Portland Beavers. At the same time, the slumping Rainiers ran into a strong eight - hit performance by Howie Reed and dropped a 9-0 decision to the Spokane Indians. Elsewhere, Hawaii's Ron Mocllcr tossed a sparkling California Speedway Eyed t,os Angeles - iupd - Sam Hanks, director of racing at the Indianapolis Speedway, Monday announced prelimi nary plans for a $17 million California Motor Speedway -an "exact duplicate" of the In diana track. Hanks said he and his as sociates plan for construction to begin In the spring of 1964, with completion scheduled in time for the running of the first California 500 national championships in the fall of 1965. The former Indv 500 win ner said the speedway would be located Just east of On tario, bounded on the south by the San Bernardino Freeway. Tony Lema Wins Memphis Open Memphis, Tenn. - WrO -Champagne Tony Lcma lived up to his name and his prom ise Monday and ordered three bottles of "the best you've got" for newsmen after he won the $50,000 Memphis Open. The tall, unassuming Cali fornia pro nabbed the $9,000 first prize from Tommy Aaron in a sudden-death 73rd hole playoff. Both ended 72 holes with 270. The victory was the first of the season on the PGA circuit for Lcma, who has placed well In money In every tourney he has entered. He now ranks second on the tour money list with more than $44,000. four - hitler as the Islanders squeezed by Salt Lake City 1-0 and Dallas - Fort Worth pounded out 12 hits to dump Oklahoma City 7-3. San Diego was idle and Denver lost a 7-2 exhibition decision to the Kansas City Athletics. Jacke Davis capped Taco ma's first inning explosion when he smashed a home run 400 feet over the left center field fence with two team mates on base. The Giants starter, Jerry Thomas, survived a shaky third inning and went the distance for his fifth victory of the season.

But each time the Rain iers were unable to come up with the big hit to spoil the shutout. J I m Barbieri paced Spo kane's nine -hit attack with three singles and two RBI's. Despite Moeller's fine pitching performance, Hawaii needed an unearned run to pick up the win at Salt Lake City. Shortstop Jimmy Stu art's error and Mick Harring ton's single gave the Island ers the game's only run in the fourth. Moeller struck out 13 bat ters and was never in serious trouble In recording his first decision of the season.

By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer Now is the time for the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers to show their muscles in the major league pennant races. The Yankees trailed the Baltimore Orioles by Wt games and the Dodgers were 2 games back of the San Fran cisco Giants wncn an me teams took time out Monday to catch their collective breaths. Both the Yankees and the Dodgers will be on the road for the next two weeks, mak ing their immediate tasks all the more difficult. The Dodgers have won 18 of 25 games at home thus far this season but are 8-11 on the road. The Yankees com pleted a 9-2 home stand Sun day to bring their season rec ord at Yankee Stadium to 13-6. However, they are only 10-8 on the road. Starting with a night game at Boston tonight, the Yan kees will play IS road en gagements in the next 14 days. Their most important stop will be at Baltimore next week, when they square off against the Orioles in three straight night games. The Orioles, winners of eight straight and 13 of their last 14 games, play three game sets at Kansas City and Los Angeles this week before returning home for their scraps with the world champions. The Dodgers launched a 15- game road trip last week end at San Francisco, losing two of three games to the Giants. They move on to Milwaukee for the start of another three game series tonight, then Giants, Dodgers Take Rest Before Long Stretch on Road have stops at Cincinnati, Houston and Chicago before resuming their war with the Giants at Los Angeles June 10. Maury Wills wasn't with the Dodgers when they head ed east, remaining in Los An geles for x-ray treatment of a foot injury If the calcium deposit on the second toe of Wills' left foot doesn't re spond to treatment he may require surgery. That would knock the base-stealing cham pion out of action for another three weeks. While the Dodgers were having their share of troubles, manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees was extremely opti mistic when he left for Bos ton. "We've got good reason to feel pretty good as we start on this long trip," he said. "We've just finished a fine home stand, the lineup is solid for the first time and the pitching has been looking up." When it comes to pitching. though, you can't beat that Baltimore staff. Milt Pappas, unbeaten in four decisions, is pacing all American league pitchers with a 1-59 earned run average. Teammate Steve Barber (8-3) is third w.ith a 2.27 ERA mark and Robin Roberts, another Bird is sixth with a 2.65 average. Is it any wonder that Balti more fans are talking pennant so early in the season?
