There was one out and two men were on base in the ninth with Hollywood leading. 4-3. when West poled George O'Donnell's 3-2 pitch over the right field screen lor a 6-4 Los Angeles victory. San Diego, which has been try ing week alter week to dislodge Hollywood from the top rung, bowed to Sacramento, 5-3, and re mained a half game off the pace. But the Padre:; have one game more to play than Hollywood, and by winning it could draw even. They try it again Friday night in Sacramento, where they play two against the Soions while Hollywood meets Los Angeles in a single game. Southpaw Tommy Byrne pitched Seattle to a 3-1 victory over Port land holding the Beavers to six hits. It was the ex-Yankee's ninth straight victory and his 18lh of the season. Dick Waibel pitched crcdi ilably for Portland and was re lieved in the eighth by Red Adams. The Hollywood-Los Angeles game was a battle of homers. The Stars held a 2-0 lead going in to the seventh, and one of these runs was a homer by Frankie Kcl leher. Then Vic Marasco homered for Los Angeles with John Pra- mesa on base, knotting the score. Kelleher was on base in the top of the ninth when Jack Phillips socked the ball out of the park, and that seemed to be the ball game. But Lee Walls dropped Ma rasco's fly with one down and Ma rasco reached second. Two singles and West's homer did the rest, with Lefty Joe Hattcn the winner on his five hitter, and southpaw Lino Donoso the loser. There were 11,946 4snectatois at Wrigley Field for the cross town rivalry. San Diego had southpaw trouble against Sacramento Thursday night. Tne trouble was that south paw Lloyd Dickey wasn't given the right kind of support, three Padre errors contributing to the team's defeat, and then too, south paw Bud Daley, the Sacs' 21-year-old rookie, scattered eight binaies and held Luke Easter hitless. Earl Rapp of San Diego got a double, the only extra base hit In the game, witnessed by only 1,726. San Francisco racked up a 7-1 victory over Oakland. Jim West- lake spanked a two run homer in the third inning to start the Seals on the road to victory. Oakland's only run came In the eighth as Jim Marshall blasted his 24th nomer. Frank Hiller had good con trol and was accorded good sup port.

Two splits were picked up in last night's alley action as Vivian Wise combined for the 2-4-7-10 shot, and Opal McDonald knocked down the 5-7 double. White Sox May Hold Flag Key By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK LP In trying to decide at this point whether the Cleveland Indians or the New Yotk Yankees are destined to un cover their noggins at the playing of the national anthem for the first World Series game on the after noon of Sept. 29 this year, it be comes necessary to take a long, searching look at the Chicago White Sox. The Sox by this time must have realized with a painful finality that despite their excellency in every department, they are not going to win the American League race. The best that Manager Paul Richards' ensemble can hope for is to win a special award as the best third-place ball club in the history ot the junior circuit. On June 1 the Sox were running a tight second, only a single game behind the Indians. Since then they have sustained a winning average of well over .600. a gait that would have been good enough to win the flag some years, and they find themselves looking on. When a thu.g such as that hap pens to a set of men they are likely to turn mean and want to take it out on someone, and it is for this reason that we feel it necessary to try to figure out what the Sox are likely to do during the next six weeks, and to whom. They are going to decide the pen nant race, it seems here. To begin with, the frustrated Chicagoans have six more games to play with Cleveland and only three more whacks at the Yankees. Three of their contests with the Indians will come in the final week. That series figures to put a terrific strain on the Tribe if the race still is close, as it prob- abiv will be. Up to this point, the White Sox are ahead of Cleveland over the season, having won 9 of their 16 engagements. In fact, Richards' speed boys are in the black against every team in the league except the Yankees. Their present plight is largely attributable to their in ability to lick the champs, who have clobbered them 13 times hi 19 tries. If all this gives us a clue, it appears to be that the Sox stand to do more damage to the Indians than to the Yankees in the run to the wire, providing they live up to past performances. It means that the Indians need desperately to add some padding to their present lead if they are to breathe easily in the closing stages.

The Pennants scored first in the initial inning of the exhibiticn ball game with two runs on no hits, a walk, two errors and three passed balls for what turned out to be the deciding margin. Two more All-Star errors follow ing a single by Sue Hendree pushed the Pennants total to a 3-1 lead, and a three run outburst in the fifth Inning virtually sewed up the gfcme lor the visiting girl sollball ers. Pat Carson connected with one cf Mickey Hayman's pitches for a long home run over the right field er's head to score all three runs. Another run in the six, again on no hits, as the scoring door was left open with a walk and an er ror. The Portland team's hard hitting center fielder, Pat Carson, clearly demonstrated to the fans how she led the Chicago Queens in a pro fessional softball circuit two years in a row in the hitting department as she cracked out another home run in the seventh inning. This hit was only tagged for a single, but as center fielder Bev Lloyd came in to make the play on the first bounce the ball sailed over her head and Carson circled the bases tor the second straight time. Klamath's single taiiy came in the fifth frame, as Mary Taylor singled with one out, and after Pennant pitcher Doris Barrett struck out Darlene Gordon, Bev Lloyd singled sending the base run ner to third base. With runners on first and third, Teddy Walker was safe on an er ror enabling Mary Taylor to score from third base with the local team's only run off the Portland team. Doris Barrett struck out nine while walking two for the Pennants and Mickey Hayman struck out three and walked two Portlanders also. The Pennants were led at the plate by Pat Carson as she col lected two hits in three official times at bat, while Joan Ballard, Sue Hendree, Lulu Wetzel and Lil Olson each hit safely once. For the state champion Klamath team, Bev Lloyd, Mickey Hayman and Mary Taylor each got one hit, with the pitcher's blow traveling for a three base safety in the fourth inning. , After the ball 'game, the city of Klamath Falls paid tribute to the local All-Stars for their winning of the state softball title with a buffet dinner at the Willard Hotel. Mayor Paul Landry and other civic dignitaries spoke briefly com mending the local team for their outstanding showing. Dotty Moore's Pennant shop team was also present.
