Redbirds Fall
Behind Brooks
Br The Associated Press
The St. Louis Cardinals, prc-season favorites in the National
league, may wind up among the also-rans because of their in
ability to win at home.
Including yesterday's double loss to the New York Giants,
which dropped them three and a half games behind pace-setting
Brooklyn, the Redbirds have won only six of 13 games at Sports
mans' Park percentage of .400, and fully ISO points below
their over-all pace.
A pair of former mates Bobby Blattner and Walker Cooper
beat the Cardinals yesterday. Blatner scored the only run as
the Giants won the opener 1-0, then homered in the 11th inning
of the nightcap to give the New Yorkers a 7-6 decision. Earlier
in the afterpiece, Walker Cooper, for whom Giant President
Horace Stoneham paid the Cards $175,000 last winter, slammed
a home run with the bases full.
Oaks Keep
Loop Lead
Br Th Associattd Press
Tall, lantern-jawed Herschel
Martin maintained the Oakland
Oaks Pacific Coast league lead
with a 320-foot homer with a
man on base yesterday. His blow
won the second game, 2 to 1,
after a 12 to 2 rout by the Los
Aneeles Angels in the opener.
The split allowed Oakland to
coast into a series beginning
Tuesday against the runner-up
San Francisco Seals with a three
game margin.
The best the Seals could do in
their struggle for the top rung
position was a split with the
Hollywood Stars, taking the
first game 6 to 4, and dropping
the closer 3 to 1.
Dick Barrett, pitching perfect
ball until the sixth inning, led
Portland to a 5 to 2 victory, in
the first game, but Sau Diego
came back in the second contest
to win 4 to 2, via home run by
Tony Criscola with one on in
the fifth.
Dewey Soriano pitched shut
out ball for the Seattle club to
give the Rainiers a 1 to 0 victory,
over Sacramento in the second
game of a doubleheader. Jerry
Staley led his mates to a 4 to
3 Sacramento win in the opener,
Portland and San Diego play
tonight at 8 o'clock, to finish up
their series. Portland then goes
to Sacramento, Seattle to San
Diego, and Hollywood to Los
Angeles for this week's other
contests.

their newly acquired Western
International league lead, Spo

nudging each other up and down
for the runner-up position.
With the Indians' weekly scr

playing Victoria, even on the

made for even play except that
Salem won the series, 6-2.

4-10, the Bluejackets won the
series, five to three.
The Spokane. Indians walloped
the trailing Athletics, 16-4, in the

3-1 Over
Mt: Shasta
By HALE SCARBROUGH
Exploding into run produc
tion only once, the Klamath Sons
defeated Mt. Shasta 3 to 1 at
Mt. Shasta yesterday afternoon
for their third consecutive
Northern California leaKue vic
tory. Clyde Carlstrom weather
ed a bad first inning and came
out with only five hi Us aKainst
him.
Jack Brown, leadoff man for
the Mountaineer in the first
frame, sinxled tu. right, took sec
ond on a sucrifice, went to third
on a passed ball and came home
on Tony Feminis' single to left.
That wus Shasta's sole tally, and
Carlstrom got things in hand and
whiffed U batters.
It was the sixth inning before
the Sons began to attack the
one-run Shasta lead, which by
that time was beginning to look
pretty solid.
Miller Doubles
Fran Miller, first man up In
the sixth, doubled into center
and scored on Hi Hatfield's sin
gle into center. Roy Wheeler,
next up, singled Into lelt. Jack
Ourocha fanned, Johnny Pastegn
singled, scoring Hatfield, ami
Ernie Bishop singled, scoring
Wheeler. Clyde Carlstrom hit
into a double play to end the
rally.
The Sons managed to work
runners to second and third in
their half of the third inning
with only one out, but two pop
flies stopped that effort.
Again in the eight and ninth
heats Klamath got runners
around to third base but were
unable to get them over. Miller's
double and one in the ninth by
Earl Brooks were the heavy
blows of the afternoon. All of
Shasta's five hits were singles.
