Br Th Associated Press
A sixth-Inning explosion that
netted six runs after there were
two men out clinched an 8 to 1
victory for the fourth place Seat
tle Rainiers in the opening game
of their Pacific Coast Baseball

The blast, started with a triple
by Len Gabrlelson and a double
from the bat of Hal Sucme drove
Jack Lott from the Acorn
mound. . He was replaced by
Italo Chelini, who was touched
for a double and four singles
before retiring the side.
Oakland scored its loan tally
in the fourth.
Third place Portland opened
the other northern series by los
ing a 4 to 1 decision to the Holly

to below .800 in the percentage
column, leaving Los Angeles and
San Francisco alone above the
80 per cent line.
Ronnie Smith held the Beav
ers to five hits, while the Stars
were nicking Jack Wilson and
Earl Cook for 11 blows. The
game was tied 1 to 1 at the end
of the seventh, but the Stars
clicked for two in the eighth and
another in the ninth.
In the only other league game
Sacramento reversed its season
long jinx of one-run losses and
tagged the second place San
Francisco Seals with a 4 to 3
victory when Bill Ramsey sin
gled in the final run in the ninth
inning.
The other league series will
open in Los Angeles today with

Gas Rationing
Offers Problem
In Antelope Hunt
SACRAMENTO, July 27 (JP)
Five hundred Californians are
going to get permits to hunt
antelope August 13, when the
second state antelope lottery is
held here, but how are they
going to get the gas to go a
hunting providing they are
lucky in the draw?
That question was posed to
day as it became apparent that
the state s first antelope season
under gas rationing offers more
problems than appear at first
blush.
The season is scheduled from
September 11 to 20 and is con
fined to Modoc and Lassen, two
of the northernmost counties in
the state. Yet of the approxi
mate 3100 applications for ante
lope permits so far received by
the state fish and game com
mission,' the majority are from
persons living in central and
southern California much far
ther away than the pleasure
driving distances allowed under
rationing.
James Boyle, OPA director In
the Sacramento office, said his
office is notifying "B" and "C"
hunters and anglers they must
explain to their ration boards
if they are out of their pleasure
driving radius.

Card Win Streak, Harris
Ousting Overshadows Start
Of Second War Relief Da?
By TED MEIER
Associated Press Sports Writer
Clubhouse friction was roll
ably reported today to bo tho
main reason why Bucky Harris
was dismissed last night as man
ager ot the National loague Phil
lies In a movo that astonished
tho baseball world,
Coming on tho heels of tho
Phils' doublo defeat at the hands
of the first place St. Louis Card
inals, who stretched their win
ning streak to 11 in a row, tho
news of Harris' ousting and tho
announcement of Freddy Fitz
simmons, Brooklyn pitcher
coach, as his suaccssor, surprised
most diamond followers.
.Tills latest twist to "what's-gonna-happen-next"
season over
shadowed tho Cards' winning
streak, longest ot the season,
and virtually shoved out of sight
the fact that today is the second
war relief day of tho season for
Uio major leagues.
Back on June 30. a total of
134.578 fans paid $147,391 into
tho treasury of National War Re
lief, Inc. The clubs hope today's
program, highlighted by Babo
Ruth's return to tho Yankee stad
ium as a one-day manager, will
exceed that mark both in attend
ance and dollars.
The pitching of Murry Dick
son and Howio Krist brought the
Cardinals victories by 6 to 2 and
5 to 2 to boost their lead over
the Idle Dodgers to 9t games.
Tho most exciting game was
In New York where the Yankees
and Cleveland Indians battled 13
Innings before a single by Pinch
Hitter Bill Dickey scored Bill
Johnson from second base for a
4 to 3 Yankee triumph. Hank
Borowy pitched all the way for
tho Yanks. The only previous
scoring came when Charley Kel
ler blasted his 13th homer with
two on In the sixth and Mickey
Rucco duplicated the feat for
Cleveland In the seventh to tie
the score.
Pittsburgh kept out of second
place on Monday when Brook
lyn's Arky Vaughn socked a
grand slam homer, started a new
drive for the runnerup spot by
beating the New York Giants,
8 to 5.
Tho Boston Braves moved
over the Phillies into sixth place
by defeating Cincinnati, 0 to 2,
as Jib Tobln scattered seven hits
in gaining his ninth win of the
season. Catcher Phil Mast had
a perfect day at bat with three
hits and a baso on balls.
Trailing by three runs going
into the eighth the St. Louis
Browns tied the score, then
bunched four hits for four runs
in the ninth to beat the Phila
delphia Athletics, 8 to 4. The
Chicago White Sox helped by
Gordon Maltzberger's relief
pitching, defeated Washington,
o 10 o, in a night game.
Tho Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox
and Tigeri were idle.
