Seattle has finally gotten around
to whittling the authoritative lead
Hollywood holds in the Pacific
Coast League race, but it took a
rousing assist from' lowly Sacra
mento to accomplish the objective.
Seattle staged a spine-tingling
ninth inning rally Thursday night
in Seattle to whip Los Angeles, 5-4,
scoring three runs as it overcame
the Angels' 4-2 advantage. Walt

When the good burghers snap
ping up tickets tike handfuls of
tax free money, thousands of Mil
waukee rooters see the country
following the Braves. Excursion
engineers are having a wonderful
time plotting new jaunts for Suds
ville addicts. A (99.50 package
lured 500 of them, complete with
tin-pans, to Brooklyn, adding to
the general din and contusion at
Ebbets Field. They went home
bitterly disappointed, but no less
enthusiastic.
When the Braves returned to
County stadium, they found five
dates of the 17-game stand already
sold out, excluding 7500 bleacher
seats that are cobbled up before
each contest. With space for most
premium, rabid customers were
purchasing perches for the Sep
tember stay.
The total attendance for 39
home dates was ,865,9211. If the
Braves continue to average 22,023.
as they have, another 377 000 will
be added and 1,242,928 will have
seen Milwaukee games with a
long September run to come.
Russ Lynch of the Milwaukee
Journal first ran a thermometer
"race" comparing this year's Mil
waukee attendance with the meas
ly 284,000 who paid to see the
Braves in Boston last trip. That,
as expected, was strictly no con
test. Milwaukee topped the Hub
figure in the first 12 appointments.
Sports Editor Lynch switched to
the Red Sox, and it was still no
contest.
So the 1948 pennant- winning Bos-

ly homer with the bases empty to
start the rally.
Artie Wilson singled, Ray Orteig
walked and Clarence Maddern,
pinch hitting for Gordy Brunswick,
banged out a triple that cleared
the sacks. Art DelDuca, who re
lieved Tom Lovrich in the eighth,
was the winning pitcher;- and Rand
Gumpert the loser.
The night's outstanding perform
ance was by Portland and San
Francisco. These teams went
through 10 innings without a run
as Bill Boemler, San Francisco'
southpaw, and Glenn Elliott of the
Ports mowed down the batters. But
in the 11th Portland scored twice,
and the veteran knuckleballer, Wil
lie Ramsdcll, pitched the last of
the Uth to hold the Seals for a
2-0 verdict.
Boemler struck out 16 batters but
walked eight, while Elliott fanned
only three and walked four. For a
time it looked as though the teams
were all set to repeat their 22-ln-ing
marathon of Wednesday.
Al Gettel, the PCL's leading
pitcher, notched his 21st victory as
Oakland smothered San Diego 12-1.
Gettel held the Padres to five hits,
while the Oaks got 15 off three San
Diego hurlers. The Padres won
the series, however, four games
to one.
Sacramento, which had beaten
Hollywood only three times In 18
starts, finally got the range and
came out with a 10-2 decision. The
Sacs knocked out George O'Don
nel. ace of the Star staff, with a
six-hit attack in the third Inning
and Just kept on swinging, getting
a total of 18 safeties off four pitch
ers. 2.4?

Mathematicians to the contrary,
the New York Yankees have an
opportunity this weekend to wrap
up their fifth straight American
League pennant.
The figure filberts can show you
this isn't so, that no matter what
happens in the Yanks' four games
with the Chicago White Sox start
ing today all eight teams in the
league will still remain potential
flag winners. ,
But if the. Yankees should win
all lour those fellows with the fig
ures are going to have a mighty
hard time convincing many folks
that the race isn't over.
New York led Chicago by five
games going into today's contest.
Following tomorrow's doublehead-
cr and a single game Sunday the
Yankees will have 46 games left
to play. The White Sox will have
44.
GOOD AS GOLD
A 9-game lead tills late tn the
season normally is as good as gold.
A White Sox sweep on the other
hand cutting the Yankee margin
to a single game would turn It
mio a real dog fight.
The White Sox are bound to be
the sentimental favorites the coiuv
try over since they represent hope
and opportunity against the long
entrenched Yankees. It might seem
a lot to expect of them, or any
oilier club, to win four in a row
from the Yankees on their own
home grounds. The Sox, however,
have done it before. They have
won their last nine at Yankee
Stadium, dating back to July, 1952.
In their final preps for the big
series the Yankees defeated Detroit
5-2 yesterday without much effort
while the White Sox rallied for five
Five Boats Qualify
For Gold Cup Races
SEATTLE W Five boats were
qualified Friday for Sunday's Gold

up her throne without a struggle.
The notice was served Thursday
hv Slo-Mo-Shun IV. winner of the
race in 1050 and 1952, which
averaged 107.5 miles an hour in
the three-lap qualifying rounds to
break the 103.746 record set, last
year by Miss Pepsi.
Driver of the Seattle boat was
Joe Taggcrt, who replaced Paul
Sawyer tills wee?", and who had on
ly a few minutes to familiarize
himself with the boat's controls be
fore he took it out on the lake for
a practice lap. . .
Taggert, of Detroit, ran the prac
tice lap at 105 miles an hour, re
turned to the pits for fuel and ram
med the Slo-Mo IV around the qual
ifying course without further ado.
The other four qualifiers all were
