Sacramento spurted to within two and a half games of first place last, night by taking a doublchcadcr from San Fran cisco, 7 to' 8 and 2 to 1, while Seattle bent the Angels in a twin bill, 1 to 0 and 5 to 4. Sacramento and Seattle thus both gained two full games on the Angels. The Rainlers are now eight games behind. Floras Holds Jess Florcs held the Rainlers to two hits in the seven-inning opener at Los Angeles, but a single and an error in the fourth Iruine gave Seattle the win.

Bevos Drop Pair Oakland made doubleheader wins unanimous in the loop, tak ing a pair of games from the lost-place Portland club, 6 to 2 and 6 to 4. The Oaks swept the second inning opener by scoring all their tallies in' the first two in nings, but had to put on a four run rally in the eighth to take the nlno-lnnlng afterpiece.

PAUL, Minn., Atrg. 1 fP) The way the par-wreckers are going to work on the Keller public course in the 55000 St. Paul open, a fellow who cuts a couple of strokes off regula tion figures finds himself blush ing instead of boasting. In all, 28 of the gang broke par 72 yesterday, and 11 were under 70. Taking over the 18-hole lead ership was 26-year-old Bob Hamilton of Evansvllle, Ind; He recently won the Hoosier State open. Hamilton had been rip ping off sub-par scores in prac- ticc rounds and didn t slow down a bit in posting a 34-33 67. Chick Harbcrt thought he was safe with a 68, but before ho could catch his breath, Law son Little, Gene Kunes of Phil adelphia, and the veteran Jim my Hines came up beside him. "Any Runs Today?' Asks Poor Edgar Smith; Chicago White Sox Usually Answer "No- By BURTON BENJAMIN NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug.' 1 Edgar Smith, the stocky, blond chunk whose name you will find at the bottom of the American lea gue pitching standings, can still smile. Rest assured, the Chicago White Sox southpaw is not dou bled up in paroxysms of laugh ter. His grin is hardly tooiny spread. But he manages a faint lip twitch when you Inquire about his record (2 victories, 16 defeats) end explains: "My 'pitching is exactly the same as It was last year or the year before. I'm no faster, no slower. I've got the same curve, the same change of pace, the same degree of control. My arm is fine. "I guess I'm the original hard luck guy. Jimmy Dykes tells me to keep on taking my turn and the breaks will come. May be they will. I've had some tough years but this one beats 'cm all." , Eddie Smith lost his first 10 starts while sporting the best earned-run average he ever had 3.15. H lost five games by one run, two by scores of 2-1. WHITE SOX EL FOLDO EVEN STIFLES DYKES Diagnosticians agree there is nothing wrong with the 29-year-old New Jersey resident that a few runs won't cure. The White Sox are suffering from a per nicious anomia at bat. The club's el foldo has left even the ebullient James J. Dykes subdued and spiritless. His phclgmatic attitude seems to have affected the players. The Pale Hose gave Smith exactly no runs In five ot his losses. Six times he was on the short end by a single run. Only once, against Washington, was he given much positive assis tance. They scored 11 runs that day, and Smith, somewhat shaken by this barrage, went on to win his first game. Smith, a 5-foot lOi-inch, 190- poundor, Is accustomed to pitch ing well And getting nowhere. Ai a member of the Philadel- '-.

His .538 average is still far ahead of any contenders. Lou Eagieson, young Albany pitcher, advanced into second place with a .500 mark. Lee Shinn and Spencer Dean of Sil verton, tied for second last week, dropped to third and fifth with averages of .467 and .406, re spectively.
