Pacific coast lea toe compett
tlon enters its second quarter to
night with roruanq nemm..
comfortable 6-game lead, while
fighting for second place are six
clubs separated only by four
games.
This week's play should help
unscramble the runner-up battle-royal.
Here's -the margin separating
the second to seventh spot
teams: Seattle in second six
games off the pace; Oakland in
third a game behind the Rai
niers; San Diego in fourth trail
ing the Acorns a game and a
half;' Los Angeles and Sacra
mento in a virtual tie for fifth
a game away from San Diego;
and San Francisco in seventh a
half game behind the Angels
and Solons and four full games
out of second place.
Manager Marv Owen's Beav
ers will open their second home
stand Wednesday against the up-and-coming
Los Angeles Angels,
who moved to the top of the
second division by shading Oak
land four out of seven last week.
Seattle will entertain the in-and-out
San Francisco Seals
who fattened their averages
with a 5-1 series margin over
Hollywood's falling Stars. The
series opens with a doublebill
tomorrow night.
San Diego's Padres, who held
second place for a single day last
week and then were over
whelmed 5-2 in their series with
Portland, will have the best
chance to improve their posi
tion. They travel to Hollywood
for a week in the film capital.
Oakland, which had trouble
with the Angels in its last series,
will attempt to recoup with
seven home games against' the
Sacramento Solons who dropped
four out of five to the Bainiers.

ISRAEL E. HERVW
autuloijr ruidint Aiiorae for otrrlM,
Italy. ... He reports as follows:
"I found out that the Ameri
cans are not the best GI boxers;
the Italians over there in Bari,
Italy, really are the best. They
beat the Americans, British, New
Zealanders, Russians and
Frenchmen every time they
meet. They are always in per
feet condition and have very
good instructors; the Americans
do not want to train tor tignts;
the British boxers just can't
fight; the New Zealanders can
fight but do not have any in
structors to teach them; the Rus
sians are very clumsy and easy
to hit; the Frenchmen fight like
they are beginners." ... In sup
port of this opinion, Sgt. La
combe adds that a 14-year-old,
120-pound Italian kid named
Angelo Colianni, can lick the
American and British feather
weights and most of the light
weights in Italy.
MORE COMPARISONS
In Italy, Sgt. Lacombe en
countered a Louisiana neighbor,
Johnny Ebarb, who boxed Louis
and Billy Conn there. . . . Ebarb
claims that if those two tangle
again for the title, Joe will be
able to stop Billy whenever he
feels like it. . . . Louis, he says,
still has plenty on the ball while
Conn has slipped considerably
and lost a lot of speed.
