RAINIERS
IN 2 WINS
ON FOURTH
By Associated Press
If any club is going to chop Seat
tle's Pacific Coast League lead, i
looks like it will have to be Holly
wood.
The Rainiers kept right on rollin'
against Oakland, 7-3 and 5-0, yester
day. Second-place Hollywood stay,*
four games off the pace with a twi.
win over Sacramento, 1-0 and 4-2.
That dropped Sacramento 71- game
behind in third place, and for th<
first time it begins to appear to b
a two-horse race. The Stars anc
Rainiers don’t meet again, however
until July 19, so the status probab'j
will remain quo awhile.
Otherwise, the big Fourth of Julj
noise was San Francisco’s explosiv*
exit from the cellar. The Seals, ir.
the dungeon since the start of thi
season, clobbered San Diego twice
7-2 and 7-4, to climb over the Padre:
into seventh place by one game.
Los Angeles made it a clean sweep
all around by two-timing Portland.
5-4 and 5-2.*
Roundtrippers by Tom Neill and
Les Layton gave Los Angeles its
first victory over Portland: the
Beavers contributed four unearned
runs to assure the second.
Seattle’s ace, Marv Grissom, post
ed his 13th win against eight de
feats with a four-hit shutout ir.
the seven-frame finale. The Rain
iers had a five-run fifth to take
the opener from new Oak Chet
Johnson. Gordy Goldsberry’s homei
with two on was the big poke. Re
liefer Steve Nagy was the winner.
Johnny Lindell was Hollywood's
hero, twirling a four-hit shutout and
hitting a homer for the lone tally in
the first game against Sacramento
