CHICAGO, July 11 P For
- ...;V, -lHntxr trniihle this
guy Claude Passeau has done
quite a piece of work to help
put the Chicago Cubs in first
place in tne ttauonai league.
Claude, now in his 11th season-in
the major leagues not so
many weeks ago was ready to
quit the big time. He figured
that recurrent troubles with an
arm he broke playing high
school football 19 years ago were
sufficient to keep him down on
his farm at Lucedale, Miss.
But Cubs manager, Charley
Grimm, had a different idea,
and today Passeau is not only
4h. laaAlna nltnhm- nf the first
place Cubs, but he's been .get
ting in his ncKs ai uie piaie
along with hurling with that
bad elbow which has brought
him nine straight victories. .
"It was a 'can I, or else' pro
position this spring," he said to
day. "I came back to the Cubs
just to try. That elbow, with
the bone chips bothered me.
I told Grimm I didn't think I
could make it He. thought I
could. And here I am."

Seals, 7-6;
Solons Win
Sacramento Moves Into 3rd
Place; Portland Increases
Lead To Four Full Games
By PAUL WELLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
Third base was beginning to
look like the far-off promised
land today to the faltering Oak
land Acorns, who have failed to
advance a man that far in their
last 22 innings of Pacific Coast
league play a new mark for
the s-tason.
The Oaks' 10-0 loss last night
tn Kneramento moved the fast-
stepping Solons into third place
as the San Francisco Seals were
being nosed out 7-6 by Portland.
The victory increased the loop-
leading Beavers margin over
the idle Seattle Rainiers to four
games. The two games were
the only ones booked Tuesday.
Fletcher Wins No. 15
Guv Fletcher, ace Sacramen
to hurler. was beaten out of a
no-hit, no-run triumph when Bill
Raimondi, Oakland's catcher
manager, rapped R single to left
in the third inning for his club's
only bingle. It was Fletcher's
15th win of the year against
eight losses.
The Acorns drought in the
base-hit and paydirt department
began in the second frame of last
Saturday's game with Portland,
and breaks the previous record
in futility set last week by Los
Angeles which registered 31 con
secutive scoreless innings.
Five of Sacramento s 13 swats
off three Oak moundsmen were
for extra bases two doubles
and three triples. Garth (Red)
Mann, who was touched for six
tallies in four innings, was cred
ited with the defeat.
Seals' Pitching Falters
The Seals' descent to the bot
tom of the first division marks
the first time since June 22 they
have been out of third place.
Their 7-6 loss to the Beavers was
their eighth defeat in the last 10
games, a slump attributed to
sudden failure in the pitching
department.
Portland got off to an early
5-0 lead in the first four cantos,
due largely to circuit-clouts by
Outfielder Frank Shone and
First Baseman - Larry Barton.
San Francisco exploded in the
sixth with, a five-run assault off
Syd Cohen to knot the count
and went ahead on another tally
in the seventh. - The Seals' ad
vantage was short-lived as the
Beavers tied it up in the eighth
and pushed the winning run
over in we last oi tne mntn.
With one away in that frame,
Frank Demaree beat out an in
field -hit and went to second on
Ray Perrys wild throw to first
San Francisco's relief hurler.
Tony Buzolich, who replaced
Frank Seward in the sixth, then
purposely walked Spencer Har
ris. Demaree scored on : Ted
GulUc'a long double to left
Wandel Mossor, who went in for
Cohen in the seventh, was the
winning pitcher.
A full schedule Is listed for
today. San Diego will open its
series at Los Angeles with an
afternoon doubleheader, while
Hollywood begins hostilities at
Seattle in a twin bill tonight.
