Hollywood Gains As Padres Split Twin Bill By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hollywood gained ground in the Pacific Coast League race Wednes geles while the runnerup San Di ego Padres were splitting a pair with Seattle. Hollywood thumped Ban Fran cisco for the third night In a row, taking a 5-2 decision behind Red Munger's seven-hitter.. . .... Seattle stretched its win streak to four straight by winning the opener at Seattle 43, but San Di ego took the afterpiece 3-2. The margin by which Seattle won the curtain raiser was a third in ning homer by catcher Ray Orteig.. who helped Tommy Byrne in his three-hit ( pitching performance In the finale, the Padres won (hp irnme in the third frame bv parlaying four successive singles into two runs. ' Walt Judnich hit a two run homer in the seventh inning to give Portland a 4-2 victory over Sacramento. Dick Waibel held the Sacs to seven hits while Marino Pieretti, although touched for 11 hits, was effective in all but the second and seventh innings. Jud nich's homer was his 15th of the season and he drove in all Port land's runs, his single in the third accounting for two. Sacramento's luns were -produced by a .double by Bob Dillinger, Merrill Combs' single and Nanny Fernandez' dou ble. A series of injuries to key men is putting a crimp in Charley Dressen's hope of making it a three-team race. His Oakland club 13 15 games behind Hollywood, and right now some of his power hit ters, Sam Chapman among them, are riding the bench or at home recuperating.

PAUL 11 Sain Snead, maneuvering with a sharp list to starboard and a grouchy look that was the natural result of a stiff neck, had to climb a tree on the 15th hole to make a reasonably good score in the first qualifying round of the 36th PGA cham pionship.' Ed "Porky" Oliver, suffering from a painful kidney ailment that has forced him to drop out of sev eral recent tournaments, holed putts from all over the course for a five-under-par 60. ' And 28 players shot 71 or better over the barren, un - hardened Keller course to turn the opening round of the nation's toughest test of professional golf into a race against par for the 64 available places in the match play bracket. That was the story as 135 of America's leading pro golfers headed into today's qualifying second round of the PGA tournament with the pros pect that a 36-nole total ot 146 or better would be needed to get in to the showdown stage of match play, starting tomorrow. Snead's "shot" from a post oak tree was the high spot of the open ing round In which the pros took Keller's par of 36-3571 to pieces, just as had been predicted. The West Virginia walloper, suf fering from a recurrence of the stiffness in his neck that plagued him all through the Open champi onship, almost pulled out of the tournament. But he decided to give it a try and until he hit the 225 yard 15th, Snead was doing very well. There his tee shot drifted and the ball lodged in the fork of a tree, some 15 feet above the ground. Sammy, stiff neck and all, had to go up there after it. He, knocked it out and got a five on the par three hole for a creditable score of 35-3873. The real business of the tourna ment begins tomorrow when 64 golfers buckle down to head-to-head matches. There'll be two rounds of 18 hole duels Friday. Two strokes behind Oliver were a trio of tournament toughened players: Cary Middlecoff, the 1949 U.S. Open champion; gnarled Johnny Revolta, a 43-year-old vet eran who Is rated as one of th nation's top teaching pros: and 47-year-old Orvllle White of Aiken, SC. Three Washington Stale golfers were still in the running. Joe Greer of Yakima carded 38-54-72; Dick Haskell of Seattle, had 35-40-75, and Ray Honsberger, another Seattleite, fired 38-39-77.

Editor Manager Doubts Apology MILWAUKEE Ifl There seemed to be some doubt in the mind of Philadelphia P h i 1 1 1 e s' manag er Terry Moore last night about the sincerity of the sugar-and-cream apology made the other day by manager Eddie Stanky of the St. Louis Cardinals. "He said the sama thing in 1952. right after he got the job, but the reform didn't last long," said Moore, who was involved in the irncas last Sunday at Busch Sta dium In St. Louis. Moore, a Car dinal coach In '52, was released a short time later by Stanky and the two haven't been exactly friendly sinco then. Moore chuckled when someone mentioned that the Cardinals had beaten the Phillies, 5-1, Monday night under the direction of coach Johnny Riddle while Stanky was under suspension. "Yeah," said Moore, "and things were a lot different in the dugout the boys tell me. Why, they said some of the Cardinals were even smiling and I heard somebody say it waa too bad Stanky didn't get the whole season off."

Last week the Lumberjacks trav- eled to Alturas to meet the Tig ers, who won the league game by a close 11-10 score. This was the third straight game that the Lumberjacks have dropped by a single run. Alturas' playing manager Bob Foote, who plays either in the out field or sometimes holds down the mound duties, will lead the Tigers into Sunday afternoon's game. Other Alturas players, who have proven tough for the Eldorado nine, are Gordy Robertson, a heavy hitting pitcher and Paul Art, the Tigers' shortstop. Hi Hatfield, manager of the lo cal semi-pros will probably start Fran Miller or 'JoJo George on the mound against ihe Tigers, while Art Westhouse or Hatfield will don the catching equipment. Art Raymond and Irv Whitt will hold down the corner positions at first and third respectively, while Don Slinltsch and Ron Owings will work at second and short to round out the Lumberjack infield.
