BIX HERALD AND NEWS Portland's Series With Angels May Be Turning Point Of PCL Flag Race By PAUL WELLS Associated Press Sports Writer With five weeks remaining in the Pacific Coast Baseball league season, the big question is whether the "old man" of the front-running Portland Beavers can stand the pace of a stretch drive. For the first time this year the Beavers have shown signs of a genuine slump, having had to go all out to gain a 4-4 series split with the Oakland Acorns last week after dropping a 5-2 engagement with the second-place Seattle Rainiers. Tonight they open a home stand against the Los Angeles Angels which may prove whether their lineup of veterans is cracking. Suds Face Acorns Seattle, four and a half games off the pace, faces a tartar in the vastly-improved Oakland Acorns, who are battling to wind up in the first division and a chance at the governor's playoff pelf. The Rainiers edged the Angels 4-3 last week and are still definitely in the pennant race. Their skipper. Bill Skiff, forecast three weeks ago that they would displace ' the Beavers before the end of the season. .

Four regulars will return to the Pelican fold including Har old Wirtn, guard; Roger Vander hoff, center; Chuck Thurman, end; and Bob Redkey, halfback. Bill Sari, who would have most probably held down a line assignment last year if it had not been for a knee injury received early in the season, will also be a definite candidate for a post in the forward wall. Pelican reserves who will be hot afer starting berths are Scott Reed, Jim , Pope, Jim Palmer, Ben De Vore, Earl Han nen and Tommy Edwards. Members of last year's Wild cat squad who will be pushing some of the varsity are Bob Mo cabee, Ray Craig, Allen Eck, Maurice Dwight, Fred Gerbino, Bob Eastman, Gene Yarnell and Leroy Coleman. Bob Dodson and Lester Fos ter, two outstanding prospects from last year's freshman ele ven, will also be. candidates for. the Pelican squad. "".. The KUHS grid eleven faces a torrid eight-game schedule dur ing the 1843 season, opening with Grant of Portland here on September 21 and closing with Bend there November 9.

In some manner he strained the shoulder of his pitching arm so that two fingers of his right hand were virtually paralyzed, impairing his effec tiveness. Both the Beavers and Rai niers play at home this week, after which they will go on the road or two weeks before con- ciuaing me season in iwo-wcca home series. Seals Meet Sacs San Francisco, fighting to stave off Oakland's threat to its first division spot, tangles with the third-place Sacramento Sol ons this week. The Seals are in fourth three and a half games ahead of the Oaks and four tilts behind the Solons. Friday has been set as "Bob Joyce night" in the Seals' stadium to honor the circuit's top winning tosser. Joyce has registered 27 victor ies against eight defeats. Sixth-place San Diego will journey to Hollywood for a ser ies against the movietown club, which lost six out of seven last week to Sacramento and drop ped deeper into the cellar. Davidson To Tangle Wiih Sneeze Achiu In the semi-windup in the grappling grab-bag Friday nisht at the Klamath bicep bin, Walter sneeze Acluu has been booked to tangle with Buck Davidson, former scourge of the marine corps.

Georges Du sette busted "Sneeze" on the but ton a few times last week just because of these tactics and he wasn't kidding. Buck may be relied upon to do virtually the same thing Friday night and this tussle should be a whooper-dooper. Dusette and Jack Lipscomb have been signed to twist torsos in the main event and the open er will see the appearance of Gorilla Poggi, a newcomer to the Klamath mat wars, who will meet none other than Milt Olsen, the Minneapolis thunderbolt. 35 Oregon Ball Players Mad At Cards OREGON CITY, Aug. 21 fP) Thirty-five young Oregon base- hall Vinnitfllla hairA a mn,co1 grudge against the St. Louis varainais.

Hank Greenhorn's return has boosted the Bengals' hopes and Al Benton's hurling has taken up much of the slack caused by Dirzy Trout's back miseries but it's Mr. Ncwhouser who will make or break Stevo O'Neill's world series plans. A year ago Ncwhouser had the same 20-7 season victory rec ord as today but Trout also had copped 20. The slim lefthander has copped seven of his last nine starts. He dropped a 3-2 verdict to Chicago and was lifted for a pinchhitter in a game that even tually was lost in 12 innings. Newhouser Wins No. 20 Ncwhouser's 4-0 shutout of Philadelphia yesterday was his 20th triumph and the Tigers also needed Les Meucller's 4-1 job in the second game as Washington blanked the onrushing Cleve land Indians in both ends of a twi-night doublehcader to stay within a game and a half of the lead.
