Governor's Cup Tuesday |
By the Associated Press
i Seattle was all set last night to
• clinch its first Pacific Coast League ;
pennant, since 1941, but it reckoned
without Ray Lamanno. a catcher
] now with Oakland but formerly of
Cincinnati. Lamanno blasted a I
four-run homer In the third frame,
highlighting a six-run rally that
gave Oakland a 10 to 4 decision over
the league leaders.
Manager Rogc/s Hornsby is send
ing Paul Calvert or Charlie Schanz ‘
against the Oak tonight in an ef
fort. to get the formalities over. The
Rainiers need c nly one more win
to finish on top. Bill Skiff piloted
Seattle to their 1941 pennant and
the late Jack Lelivelt led them to
championships in 1939 and 1940.
Seattle was sixth last year under
Paul Richards.
Hollywood kept its very faint
hopes alive by plastering another
defeat on hapless Sacramento, 7
to 4. Ben Wade, ace Star right- i
hander, won his ninth in succes
sion and his ISth of the season as
he held the Sacs to eight hiis.
“Grumpy Guy” Fletcher of San
Diego beat his former San Fran
cisco teammates by a 5 to 2 score.,
He fanned eight and scattered the 1
seven hits he allowed.
Los Angeles staged a three-run
ninth inning rally to beat Portland,
4 to 2. The teams are battling for
third place and the Angels now
have a game and one-half bulge
over the Beavers.
The Governors Cup playoffs will
start Tuesday night at Seattle and
Hollywood. Hollywood will face the ;
fourth place club and Seattle the
third place outfit — if they wind
j up ns indicated.
