RAINIER!
KEEP TOPS
PC LEAGUE
By Associated Press
Thanks to their dependable part
time pitcher, A1 Lyons, the Seattle
Rainiers retain the Coast League s
top spot today.
Lyons came in from his outfield
post to pitch his third win without
defeat against Sacramento yester
day. The 6-2 victory, accomplished
via a five-hitter, offset a 2-1 loss
in the second game, gave the Rain
iers an even split in the four-game
series and left them one game ahead
of Hollywood.
Ken Gables racked up his 10th
win for the Solons in the nightcap.
Hollywood, after running its win
streak to six straight, missed a tic
for the lead by bowing to Los Ang
eles, 2-1, with George Schmees driv
ing in. both runs,with a homer and
double.
Sacramento and Oakland remain
ed a close-up third and fourth. The
Solons are a game and a half back,
and the Oaks stayed two games be
hind by dividing with San Francisco.
Jay Ragni wo nthe opener for the
Oaks, 5-1, scattering seven hits, but
the Seals’ Lloyd Dickey stopped ’em.
7- 4, i nthe finale.
Only club to profit by the sab
bath doings was Portland, which
whnaged San Diego twice, 5-1 and
8- 4. The Beavers teed off on Guy
Fletcher in the opener and then
drove Sam Jones, the league’s strike
out ace, to cover with five runs in
the first frame of the afterpiece.
Bill Salkeld’s homer was the saddest
blow of all for Sad Sam.
Portland winners were Reliefers
Bob Drilling and Red Adams.
Business around the loop was
looking up. Hollywood drew its best
crowd of the year, 10,962. San Fran
cisco-Oakland had 9,592; there were
7,848 out to see the first place battle
between Seattle at Sacramento; and
3,688 sat out the shellacking at San
Diego.

Another Reason Why
You’ll Prefer Budwelser
One of America’s very few true lager beers,
Budweiser is fermented not once, but twice.
Much, much longer-than-average ageing
brings it to mellow maturity.
Only the choicest hops, rice and best barley
malt are bought for Budweiser... and at
premium prices.
The Budweiser lagering process is your guar
antee against greenness and bitterness.
