SEATTLE (AP) - To steal a line from vaudeville, a Strange thing happened on the way to the Pacific Coast League baseball pennant. A substitute manager named Alan Strange has guided a patch work team of Seattle Rainiers out of the league basement and into contention for the title. At last count the Rainiers had won 14 of their last 17 starts. A month ago two victories in a row were considered a winning streak. They were 11 games out of first place and appeared to hold an iron-ciad option on finishing last So they won 11 straight. Now they're five and a half games out of first. Trying to explain it all Satur day, team publicity director Edo Vanni employed a baseball cliche "they jelled." . . No one man came up with a sudden burst of power hitting. The pitching had been excellent all vear. Given a lew timely hits by their teammates the pitchers started winning, instead of losing the close ones. Infielders began substituting rally-stopping double plays for game-losing errors. Strange took over the team in mid-season and mid-slump when Fred Hutchinson, field pilot and general manager, quit both jobs to manage the Cincinnati Redlegs. Strange was a coach, having joined Hutchinson as an aide after a couple of seasons on baseball's sidelines,. A quiet, friendly type who had played with pennant winning Rai nier teams before the war, Strange had managed at Spokane and Bremerton in the old Western International League. He was made acting manager when Hutchinson left, mainly because he was available. Very few players remained of the group that started the season. Outfielder Gale Wade, infielder Harry Malmberg and catcher Hal Bevan still wore Rainier livery. along with several of the original pitching staff. Hitters who were fearsome in the winter book had faded in the spring, to be re placed by anybody ohtainable. The team got outfielders Mim Dyck from Vancouver, Carroll Hardy from Cleveland, Paul Pet tit from Salt Lake City, Bob Thur- man from Omaha. Infielders Bob by Adams came in from Miami Rudy Regalada from San Diego, Lou Sizas (rom Havana. Farm hand Cal Bauer was brought up from Tri-City of the Northwest League to plug a gap at second base. Added to the pitching crew were Mark Freeman from Denver, Don Rudolph from Havana, Charlie Rabe from Toronto, Bob Mabe from Cincinnati. 'It was like starting spring training ail over, vanni said 'Once they got oriented they be gan to win. Speed is a team trade mark, the pitching is great and somebody always comes up with the big hit in the clutch. Strange is making the most of it. The winning streak knocked the 'acting" prefix olf Strange s man agerial title. He is known as percentage manager who will take a calculated gamble, with a pitch ing stalf that gave him one string of 32 scoreless innings including a no-hitter by Freeman against Vancouver the speed, the gam ble and the timely hit brought game-winning runs. Seattle fans who overflowed the park in Strange's playing days. have been acting like non-believers. For 'last Sunday's double header with San Diego the stadi um here was nearly 9,000 short o( its 11,500 capacity. But if the club can maintain its momentum, Vanni insisted, the fans are bound to become Strange people.

By WAYNE SCOTT Herald and News Sports Editor Although seven of the top play ers in the Oregon Collegiate con ference are lost to the Oregon Tech Owl football team as it pre pares to enter the 1959 grid sea son, the aspect is not exactly gloomy dn the Mile High campus according to head coach Rex Hun- saker. "We have lost some real good boys but we also have some good ones coming back, plus some new talent. Of course we'll have to wait and see about the new ones I guess you could say we'll play all our games anyway." grinned Hunsaker, who' is beginning his 11th season as head of the Owl football fortunes. Redskins Dominate LA Rams LOS ANGELES (UPI) Some 85,8118 fans shook their heads about the long and short of the Redskins, little Eddie LeBaron and big Johnny Olszewski, Saturday after they led Washington to a 23-21 triumph over the Los An geles Rams in the Annual Charity Exhibition game. The fans, who turned out to watch the Rams, and their twe heralded additions, back Ollie Matson and Defender Gene Brito, in their season debut had little to cheer about in the Coliseum Friday night. Despite the score, the Redskins dominated the .ball and controlled the game most of the way. It was two by land, with Olszew ski carrying the ball, and one by the air. LeBaron, who chalked up another sensational night from the firing line, passed for the other Redskin touchdown. The diminutive field general passed 23 times, hitting his re ceivers 15 times, good for 223 yards and the one score, a six yard lob to halfback Dick James The Washington offense bottled up Matson, the hard-charging full back obtained from the Chicago Cardinals by the Rams in a move to aid their chances for a Western Division title. The Owls, after a highly success ful, if confusing, 1958 season will begin 19M workouts on September 8 as per conference rules. The Techmen romped through the OCC 1958 schedule with a 4-won, 0-loss record for a league championship but at the close of the season, when OTI heads dis covered mistakes in various eligi bilities, the Owl 11 abdicated the throne. Their overall season rec ord was 6-won and 2 lost, defeats coming at the hands of the power ful Hamilton AFB team (.14-0) and Whittier (Calif.) College 127-8). The Owls opened the season with a 6-0 win over Westminster (Utah) College, whom they host on Modoc Field in the '59 season opener on September 19. Next came Hamilton, then a 31-21 vic tory over Portland State. They then rolled over Eastern Oregon 27-6, Southern Oregon 40-0, Moftett NAB 53-12, and a smashing 68-7 triumph over Oregon College be fore tangling with Whittier in the iinale, All this was accomplished with the help of team captain Alan Jones. All -.Conference for two years and Little All-America hon orable mention; center Bill Bar- ingion, tackles Arnold Metcalfe a 245 pounder now in the service Dick Hill, All-Conference, an engi neering student now nicely situ ated with a firm in Shclton, Wash ington, and end Dale McCulloch who also moved Into a good job Also missing this year are the number one and two conference scorers, halfback Otis foster ana fullback Earl Green. Foster, a 5-9 162 pound scooter, racked up points in eight games for the league title while Green, 196, ground out 545 yards in seven games to become the league'i ing second only to Foster. Despite the loss of this group of stars, Hunsaker lists 21 reasons why he is not, dismayed over the probable fortunes of the coming season. They are quarterbacks Charlia Ganter, 176, All-Conference veter an and All-Conference linebacker Roy Johnson. 182: 1 fullbacks Allen Leach, 184, the fastest man on the quad, and Bclton OUison, 186, a regular two years hack; halfbacks Al Eversnn, 182, offensive All-Conference two years running, and Charlie Wilson, the 175 pound 5-9 package of dynamite.

Backing up this formidable ar ray of veterans are 23 newcomer to Owl suits, Including some top high school stars and a few junior college transfers. Job assignments for the Owl coaching staff include veteran lina boss, George Miller, one of the most respected in the conference, brand new backfield director Jim Cordial, who moved from St. Helens to replace Ralph Carr, and Hunsaker. , "We may be defending only a mythical championship but you can believe me we'll be defending it," commented Hunsaker. Neither champion ground gainer and scor- Miller nor Cordial disagreed.
