Win Streak
Of Rainiers
Is at End
By Associated Press
Portland clung to its lead in the
tight Pacific Coast League baseball
league last night by clipping San
Francisco 5 to 4.
Hollywood outscored Seattle 8 tc
5, to end a six-game' Rainier win
ning streak, Sacramento beat Oak
land 9 to 3 and Los Angeles white
washed San Diego 2-0.
Jack Graham clouted two homers
for San Francisco in a losing cause
in the game at Portland.
Graham lifted his first homer out
of the field in the first inning with
Jim Brideweser and Eddie Lake on
base. The sacks were empty as he
repeated in the fourth.
The Portland victory enabled the
team to maintain its two-game lead
over Los Angeles.
Hollywood came from behind,
staged a six-run uprising in the
eighth innipg, and halted Seattle’s
six-game winning streak. Johnny
Lindell, the ,ex-New York Yankee,
took over the hurling for the Stars
in the first inning when Starter
Ben Wade faltered. The Rainiers
were able to get only one run off his
knuckle ball after the first, whereas
the roof caved ir> on Vern Kinds
father in the eighth. The Stars kept
pumping hits on his successors. A
homer by Herb Gorman with two
on was the telling blow.

Mathewson when the Philadelphia
A's are in town. Now it's Connie
Marrero, Washington’s chunky Cu
i ban with a one-hitter.
Marrero picked up where the

left off. The Latin missed his shut
out last night on Barney McCosky’s
first home run since 1947 but he
pitched the majors first one-hitter
ot 1951.
The fun-loving little Cuban stuff
ed a seventh straight loss down the
A's throats, 2-1, winning on homers
by Mickey Vernon and Gil Coan.
It was his second victory, both over
Philadelphia, whose Manager Jim
my Dykes complains Cubans should
I not be allowed to play winter ball
If the A's staggering is big news
in the American, the shocking fail
ure of the New York Giants is head
line stuff in the National.

j "Wilson is playing second, that’s
j all.”
! S,anky or Wilson. It made no dif
' ference. They lost just the same.
Giants Shut Out
J- hnny Sain shut out the Giants,
3-0, with six hits as Boston spoiled
1 Sal Maglie’s 34th birthday. A two
I run homer by Roy Hartsfield, fol

run, broke open a scoreless game in
the eighth inning.
It was Sain’s 100th victory in the

place percentage tie with the idle
St. Louis Cards by whipping Brook
