, won't be any fireworks here
about July 4, but there should
be plenty at the major league
meeting two days Inter when the
boys start bring

positions as the

idea . . - From
here. Zeller s

iJ!S starting late and
mmtitJmkm training at home
sounds good, but to make the
1043 season (if any) a success,
we favor playing weekends only
until the usual closing time . . .
Teams could play night or twi
light games Fridays, double
headers Saturdays and Sundays
and do pretty well. The players
might even take up Art Rooney's
idea for the pro footballers and
get useful jobs for the other five
days . . . Traveling could be cut
down to a war-time level by sep
arating the eastern and western
sections.

Tigers Hang
On to Tiny
WIL Margin
By The Associated Press
The Tacoma Tigers retained
their narrow five-point lead on
Western International Baseball
league standings last night with
a 2-1 victory over the Spokane
Indians while the recently de
posed Vancouver Capilanos were
trouncing Salem, 8-5. .
' The Tigers took advantage of
the Indians' only error in the
series opener at Spokane to
score a single run in the first
inning when right-fielder Bob
Daley allowed a roller to get
away from him and then added
the clincher in the fourth frame.
At Vancouver, Salem piled up
a four run lead in the first three
innings but gave it away when
the Caps scored five times in
their half of the third. The
Capilanos scored the winning
run in the fourth and added
two more in the seventh.

picked last night, of all summer
nights, to wear long woolics and
"wrestle to free (themselves)
rrom tne baleful imbroglio."
ine Daieim imDroguo was a
one-hour main event capping one
of the longest armory mat cards
in recent memory on one of the
hottest nights in the armory
since weather became a censor-
able subject.
Maybe Sockeye Jack McBon
aid, the Scottish grappler, knew
Thomas Cariyle, the Scottish es
sayist, better, for it was he who
freed himself from the imbroglio
by pinning Irish Jim Casey with
an arm bar in the closing min
utes of the hour-long battle, then
held until the bell to win Ref
eree Earl Yoaklcy's nod as the
night s principal winner.
The entire evening's business
consumed two and one-half swel
tering hours before a sumrisinc-
ly well-filled steaming house of
grapple bues. Earlier Pedro
Brazil had hammerlocked Broc
coli Bob Kruse into a sweat of
pain and surrender and then,
substituting for George Craig,
the habitually missing Mcdford
blacksmith, had lost to Prince
Mihalakis on a Boston crab.
After the first pair of matches
it appeared the working press
was going to get a break and
the soft-drink hawkers a kick
in the teeth by all hands retiring
early. '
But McDonald and Casey, in
their long drawers, saw to that.
Early in the final bout McDon
ald hoisted the tapcr-torsoed Ca
sey to his shoulders and spun
him with a whirler stolen direct
ly from the book of Cowboy
Dude Chick. But the follow
through backfired when the
black Irishman refused to keep
his wings on the canvas and in
stead locked the ex-logger in a
scissors headlock which was to
endure for a full five minutes.
Midway in the grueling tussle,
McDonald fell heavily from a
corner rope tangle and injured
his back so seemingly seriously
that the soft drink laddies re
tired in anticipation of the end
It was a sorry move for
Sockeye, rested by a 19-count
respite out of bounds came
back and carried on. It was too
bad the cold drink- merchants
did not, for the thing wont on an
other full half-hour.
Ultimately McDonald jumped
on Casey's right hand, then his
chest for the first and what was
to be the only fall. The balance,
a five-minute frame of indeter
minate grappling was anti-climax.
Brazil's opening victory over
Kruse, the Oswego, Ore., farm
boy, came via a punishing series
of hammerlocks which eventual
ly forced Kruse to give up in the
third round. The second fall
came immediately in the open
ing of the fourth as Brazil ap
plied another hammer.
But the Brazilian, groggy,
wasn't a complete wrestler when
he faced Mihalakis in the seml
windup. In relatively short or
der, the Arabian caught a Bos
ton crab for the one-fall decision.
Promoter Mack Lillard an

Bosehlts were common last
night at San Francisco where the
Seals pounded Portland Hurlcrs
Lee Stine and Ad Liska for 13
hits and a 13 to 7 victory In Paci
fic Coast loague baseball.
Kcrmit Lewis, San Francisco
outfielder, clouted a three-run
homer to put his teammates
ahead In the first inning of a
wild game.
Bill Joyce, Seal twlrlcr, was
unsteady early In the game and
he gave the Beavers three runs
in the second, three more in the
third, and one tally in the fourth
on seven hits and a walk. He
finished the game with a record
of nine hits.
Lewis, who led the batting
with three hits in five times at
bat, appeared to bo out of the
game in the fourth inning when
he crashed Into Lorry Barton at
first base and knocked himself
out. He revived and finished
the game, however.
Sacramento increased Its lead
in the standings to three games
by reason of a 3 to 4 decision
over Oakland and San Diego's
triumph over the second-position
Angels.
Blix Donnelly, aco Solon hurl-
er, won the game by singling
with two on in the nines after
he had rcliovcd Kemp Wicker
in the lost frame.
Jack Salvoson and John Yelo-
vlc, who was charged with the
defeat, yielded nine hits.
The team batting average ot
the Los Angeles Angels Is slight
ly lower today and Wally He
bert, San Diego pitcher, Is re
sponsible for the drop.
Hebert held Angel Stickmcn,
tho most powerful in the league,
to five scattered binglcs when
the Padres blanked the Angels,
3 to 0.
