PAGE TWELVE isjiers. leavers Ba Continue Losing Ways By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Seattle and Portland continued their losing ways in the Pacific Coast Baseball League Tuesday night. The Rainlers dropped a 10- Inmng, 8-7 decision to tsacramenio and Portland was thumped by Ban Diego, 11-2. The Padres, annarently sharpen Ing up lor the big series with Hol lywood next week, had a field night in the Beavers' park, col lecting 12 hits. This San Diego victory had the effect of whittling down Holly wood's lead in the standing to three games, so It is entirely pos sible that the Stars could come out of the San Diego series in second place. They lost one to Oakland Tuesday night, 8-5. This cut the Stars' lead to three games. Oakland had a five-run third in ning that was produced on three Mngles. four walks and an error. The Stars didn't do anything right, although that one error was the onlv one of commission. The trouble was Hollywood's pitching, which may be starting to show signs of wear because of a small staif and an overload of work lor some very willing throwers. Oakland had Its big five-run in ning after two were out, and an error by the usually dependable shortstop, Dick Smith, made It all nosslble. Oakland's eoually de pendable shortstop, Bud Rose, had a bad night, with three errors, all on hard chances. Seattle scored in the top of the loth but the Sacs came back with two in their half. The winning punches were a home run by Joe Brovla and a single with the bases loaded by Marino Pleretti, a pitch. er. Mllo Candinl was the winning pitcher. He relieved Charley shanz In Uie sixth. Tommy Byrne was the loser. San Francisco thumped Los An gelcs, 9-2, behind Elmer Singleton's peven-hit pitching. The Seals slammed Cal McLish, Turk Lown and Tom Simpson lor 13 hits. It was Singleton's fifth straight win over the Angels, so he must have something they can t solve.

NEW YORK The sad plight of the minor leagues is causing deep concern in the upper strata of tlie baseball world, where It Is recognized that the game cannot survive without Its lower branches. Since the start of the season, three of the 36 minor leagues have fulded and the number of clubs playing minor league ball has shrunk from 268 to 249. The Flor ida International in Class B, the Mountain States in Class C and Uie Tar Heel in Class D are no more. George Trautman, head of the minors, was In town early In the week for a series of meetings. Al though he was trying to keep his chin up, lie obviously was disturbed by the foldings. "We're not going to die on the vine," he said. "The situation Is not that desperate. But obviously It is a cause of concern when you drop from 59 leagues In 1949 to 34 halfway through 1954. "I'm not saying that radio and television of major league ball games into our cities is the cause of all our difficulties. Perhaps it is only one of several contributing factors. Before wo get together for our December meetings In Hous ton, I hope we can arrange to channel some funds down to us from up on high." Baseball still is scared of Wash ington, uncertain how far it can move without being hauled up on charges of monopoly. If It were possible to tako some of the money that is paid for radio and television rights nnd spread it among the minors, without legal complica tions, r am sure Commissioner Ford Flick would advocate such a move. Something like that may be the ultimate solution.

BRITTON ft I .Pi rJMr Sox Capture Do-Or-Die Series Opener CHICAGO Lfl The Chicago White Sox were one up and two to go Wednesday as they took on the New York Yankees in the second game of a do-or-die three-game series with the defending champs of the American League. Tlio Sox manager, Paul Rich ards, reiterated his pre series statement that the Comlskeys could win "easily ' the series in Chicago against tlie only team that holds the upper hand against them so far in 1954. This view was pooh-poohed by the New York manager, Casey Stengel, who said that although Richards' view is "very interest ing" the White Sox have given "no Indication" so far that they can do it. Richards' optimism was bused on the Sox performance Tuesday night, wiicn Virgil Trucks shut out the Yanks with five hits for a 4-0 victory. Trucks, winning his 14th game of Uie season most any American League pitcher has re corded thus far never was in any serious trouble . The Sox triumph was wlinesscd by the largest crowd of Uie season and the third largest in Comlskev Park history. Richards said after Uie shutout that It was an indication that his third place White Sox liave been "outlucked" against the Yunkces ;n 1954 and that Uie 11 victories In 17 games by the Now Yorkers against the Sox this season nre no indication of the merits of the two teams. "Sure, the Yanks are the team we have to beat." said Richards. But don't forget that the Cleve land Indians have eight games more to play with New York and we have only three, after this series. Thnt means if we can con tinue beating the second division clubs like wo hnve. we have a good chance of sailing right past these two leading clubs while they langie.

Tlie Senators sent 14 men to bat, collected nine hits and ticketed two Lewiston hurlers for the showers. The Broncs picked up the cue and pushed across five runs them selves in their half of Uie frame. The rally was sparked by Bob Wil liams three run homer. Williams, incidentally, moved from the out field to Uie pitcher's mound in an e.'iort to still Salem's first inning blast. Although he gave up nine hits for five runs, he equalized that in part by collecting three hits and sending in lour ol Lewiston s tal lies. Yakima provided storybook fin ishes In its double tussle with Van couver by warning both games in the last hall ot the nintn. in tne second contest, the Bears went scoreless until the eighth and trailed 2-0 when Lou Stringer, who had walked, came home on suc cessive singles by Carlie Mead and Dick Brlskey.

The 10-rounder, to be telecast by CBS. will start at 10 p.m., EDT.

The onetime boy wonder, now a part-time tournament player and vice-president of a golf club man ufacturing concern said before the PGA Tournanunt began: "If I reach the final I'll probably make the same danged mistakes I did when I went to the finals before." It looked as if that prediction might come true yesterday when Chick knocked his second shot out of bounds into a cornfield. For three holes he was the same old Chick, the fellow who could hit them a mile, but often hit a half mile into the rough. He was under a tree on the second hole, but recovered. He fought the rough and buried his ball in a sandtrap for a double-bogey 7 on the third. And when Burkemo birdied the fourth, Wally was 3 up and well on the way to a successful defense of the title he won last year. That's when he stopped making mistakes and started playing the kind of golf of which he is capable at his brilliant best. For the next 30 holes, he never was over par and he lost only two of them. At the finish lie was on top by a 4 and 3 msrgin. It was the ninth time Harbert hail tried for the PGA title. It was his third trip to the finals. He tried to match his booming, un controlled drives against Jim Ter rier's putter in 1947 and lost. Five years later he hit a wild drive under a tree at Louisville and lost to Jim Turnesa. "It's the only national title I've ever won," he said. "Naturally I think it's the most Important. Wally is a great player and a great fellow to play with." Harbert said he thought the 10th hole was the turning point of the match. That was when he wedged a shot up for par, the second straight hole he had won. He also took the 11th to square the match, and from there on there was no stopping him. Burkemo also played fine golf except for a flurry of wild shoot ing from the 10th through the 15th in the morning, when he had three bogeys and lost three holes. Prom there on he shot 19 holes in 3 under par and couldn't gain an inch. 1V- la. ' . -.-t-f MONARCH TIRE SERVICE 315 So. 6th St. Phone 7071 We Give S&H Green Stamp. 8 j&,
