Strugglo; Seals No Better
By The Associated Press
Seattle's hopes of catching sec
ond placo San Francisco in the
dying days of the Pacific Coast
league season faded sharply over
tho weekend as the Itainicrs
dropped two out of three games
to the Portland Beavers.
The Seals' weekend record
against Oakland was no better,
but timo definitely is on the side
of the San Franciscans, now nine
and a half games ahead of the
Ra inters.
Seattle had to como from be
hind for a 7-3 victory in tho
nightcap of yesterday's double
header to salvage something
from the weekend's engage
ments. The Beavers won the
first Sunday contest 6 to 3 and
won 6-4 Saturday.
Frank Tincup, new Rainier
pitcher, who is a powerful pinch
hitter, slashed out a double to
climax a Seattle fourth inning
rally. Hal Sucme, Seattle catch
er, drove In four runs, his big
blow being a double in the
fourth with the bases loaded.
Ted Gullic, Larry Barton and
Jack Wilson hit homers for the
Beavers In the first game.
The games closed season's play
between the two teams with
Seattle winning 12 and losing
nine.
The Los Angeles Angels made
themselves all but mathematical
certainties to cop the league
crown by splitting a double
header yesterday with Holly
wood. The Stars won the first
game 2-1 and the Angels the
second, 3-0.
The Seals split with Oakland,
losing 9-3 and winning 3-0. The

It seems far-fetched, but there

A quick glance at the stand

to show, however, that In the
last two weeks the second place

won 14 of 18, including three

Washington Football Team Has Lrttt
To Worry About Despite Man-Ratioitriig
SEATTLE, Aug. 30 (AV-Thanks to Uncle Swn. Coach Retort
(Pest) Welch and his Washington football team ha vb little to
worry about rationing this fall. They should get plenty of potato.
utner northwest and coast football coaches may have to
worry along with 16 and 17-year-olds and 4-Fs. and some have
folded up altogether (see Stanford), but Washington is in a good
spot.
The navy will permit its trainees to play football, and Wash
ington is well-blessed with marine and navy cadets, with exper-
ence won on other campuses.
Tbey will have only two hours
a day for sports and Coach
Welch said today he would
have to limit Washington prac
tice sessions to an hour and a
half, but that should be long
enough.
Practice opens September 10
and a check-up today showed
46 men had checked in for uni
forms. A dozen or so more are
certain to be on hand that date,
too.
Washington will have the
help of some good former
Washington State college foot
ball timber, which should have
Cougar Coach Babe Holling
bery gnashing his teeth.
Take the backfield, Sam Rob
inson, Husky speedbalL, and
Jay Stoves, of Washington State
fame, will be heading the same
direction down the gridiron this
year, behind a Washington line.
There's Bob Erickson, Neil
Brooks, John Wingender and
Pete Susick. And Gerry Austin
and Bob Zech, too.
Fourteen men want a wing
berth. Heading the list is Jack
Tracy, a letterman, but not far
behind are Hec Brown, the bas
ketball player, Gail Bruce,
promising sophomore. Bob
Moles, four-year College of
Puget Sound veteran, Ed
Roark, St Martin's regular, and
Bruce Bern, of Yakima.
Three former Huskies, and
Husky is the right word, are
after tackle posts. They're
Leon Larson, Tony Balchunas,
and Don Decks, who lost a few
fingers in a longshoring acci
dent this summer and will have
to wear a special glove.
Frank Saksa, Husky veteran,
and Bill Ward, 220-pound for
mer WSC veteran, are the top
guard . prospects, since Tom
Branigan, also formerly of
WSC, was transferred to San
Diego. Two' recent Seattle and

ters, Gordon Berlin and Jim
