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.

one of their best hitting days
of Ihe season, bowling over

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

busy trying to find out if he
might stretch his district to

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.

Suds Punch
Seals, 5-1
By Th Associated Prass
The Seattle baseball club, that
haven for athletes seeking work
since Joe White took over a
revamping Job, Isn't looking for
a pennant this year but gets a
kick out of walloninn the boys
who are.
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.
Sorry Showlna
Seattle and San Francisco last
met in June, when baseball en
thusiasm in the northern city
was running high over the em
ployment of White to replace
Bili Skiff as manager. Since
then, the Rainiers, with players
bounced and hired right and
left, have managed to win only
18 out of 52 games.
Oakland turned back the San
Dicifo Pndres 4-2. but Manager
Pepper Martin of the losers to
day registered a protest over an
umpire's decision In the fourth
inning.
With the Padres leading 1-0,
Tom Hafcy of the Acorns in
that Inning popped a fly which
Shortstop Dan Breard had to
back up to reach. He dropped
the ball, was charged with an
error, and Bill Hart, who had
walked and advanced on a dou
ble scored on the olav.
