Giants Bump Off Dodgers By The Associated Press Mel Olt's lowly Giants, IS games behind with 62 to go, are in a hopeless position In the National league pennant race bul you never could prove It by the contending Cardinals and Dodgers. When the Brooks really need ed to take one with a chance to stretch their lead to a full three games, lust night, they couldn't bump off their rivals from Manhattan. Lefty Dave Koslo, touched for five hits In three Innings, tightened up and held the Dodgers hltles the rest of the way In recording his 12th vic tory of the season, 3-2. The re sult reduced Brooklyn's first place margin to two games. The Cardinal were rained out of their game at Pittsburgh. Chicago Pulls Out Chicago pulled out of a three game losing spin to smother Cincinnati, 3-0, on Claude Passeau'i four-hit pitching at Croasley field. The Bruins trail the Dodgers by 7',-i lengths. The hustling Boston Braves proved they still can beat the Phillies although outhlt by a 10 to S margin when they rushed over two runs In the 12th Inning to earn a 3-1 edge for Johnny Sain. In the American league, the Boston Red Sox marched an other step closer to clinching the pennant with a, S O romp over Philadelphia behind Tex HugliMin s five-hit pitching. Bobby Doerr blasted hi 15th homer of the season with Wally Mows on base In the first in ning to start llughson off to hi 12th triumph. It wa Dick howler 11th setback. Errors Best Browns Two unearned run on three St. Loui errors helped Detroit record a 31 victory over the Browns despite a four-hit pitch ing Job by Jack Kramer. Al Benton's fourth win enabled the Tigers to climb to within a single, giune of the second-place New York Yankees, whoso scheduled night game at Wash ington wa postponed by rain. Chicago's While Sox enjoyed one of their best hitting days of Ihe season, bowling over Cleveland, 11-1 on 16 blows good for 24 base. hasn't yet got its name Into the regional pot. District B and 10 arc set up lo cover this part of the state, and district 9 include Bend, Burns. Prineville and Redmond. District 10 Is Medford. Ashland, Grants Pans and Roseburg. Lakrvicw also has a team to put into state competition but, like Klamath, is not-included in a district. Anyhow, Sam Jennings at Medford, manager of the lea gue there and host at the com ing district 10 tourney, is now busy trying to find out if he might stretch his district to take care of Klamath and if so one team from here will prob ably enter the meet. fT3ililll TIRE SERVICE Phone 7071 mm f '"'W, ". Miller Held To Decision The steam which heretofore ha caused Bruce Miller's op ponents to go to sleep In the mlilsl of battle was somewhat insufficient lust night and Mil ler had to be content with a split decision over Joe Nara zilla without even knocking the chunky Mexican lad down. Miller was unable to get In a devastating rlghthund punch In the armory iniilnllner and Narnilla sldestepiM-d and slid under the blow but Bruce wa effective lu hitting Ihe Mexican with bis straight lef to the face and fin occasional body punch. Narallla was at hi best In close, sneaking in left hooks and right Jab in the Infighting every time, but llruce's left arm kept him away. Both boys were out for the kill in the final canto but neither scored In the toe-to-toe slugging. The real fight of the evening was a middleweight brawl be tween Johnny Jones and Jim Wright that went five pulveriz ing rounds to a dead heal. Both boys landed solid blows in every round. After battling even through the first and sec ond, Jones hooked three light ning lefts to Wright's face to start the third round and fol lowed up for point. Jonas In Trouble In the fourtli canto Wright took over with rights and lefts to the face und hud Jones on the ropes and In trouble at the bell. Starling the final round Wright landed a right hand to Jones' nose, drawing blood, and Jones retaliated with the hard est punch of the fight, a rip ping left that oMncd a cut over Wright's eye. The round was a draw. Pepsi Moreno gained a wel terweight draw with Wayne Hatcher in four rounds, but if the fight had gone another frame Moreno would have taken It hands down. He lost the first two round lo the free swinging Indian, then took the offensive in the third and fourth. When the fight ended Hatch er wa taking a drubbing as the well-conditioned Moreno became stronger. Those top three fights were crowded with excellent action but the prelims went the other way. Gene Darko landed a very low punch that doubled up Jack Dodge late in their first round and Referee Wally Moss gave the fight to Dodge on a foul. Down Thrae Times Gaylor Hatcher .slapped and slugged Kid Bliss through their first round and 40 seconds of the second before the towel came sailing in from Bliss' cor ner, a TKO for Hatcher. Bliss had been down three times for no count and It was as muclj his clumsy footwork as any thing else that kept spilling him. The third of the Hatcher bovs. Chief, swung his over hand right and led the fighting to Billy Martin in the feather weight opener until the third round when an uppcrcut blast ed Martin's mouthpiece out. knocking him wide-eyed, and the towel came in. tHillT I.

Manager White's remodeling has been short of dividends and the Rainier have dived deeper into the Pacific Coast league cellar, but Seattle faithful num bering 5502 wildly cheered their club's 5-1 deflating of the San Krancisco Seals last night. The defeat left the leading Seals, pompous after their se vere drubbing of the challengers last week, only three games ahead of the winning, second place Oakland Acorns.
