rainier; lose
10 OAKS, FIRST,
10-GAME SERIES
By JIM HUBBAKT
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
With the Pacific Coast spotlight
shining on the great northwest,
Seattle and Portland are taking
their whacks at the No. 1 and 2
clubs, Oakland and Hollywood, this
week and next. But neither did
much giant killing last night.
Oakland won the first game in a
series of 10 with Seattle by 7 to 3.
Tonight, however, the Rainiers will
unsheath their most lethal weapon
—pitcher Jim Wilson.
Hollywood edged Portland, 2 to 1.
The Stars, who still trail the Oaks
by five games, face the Beavers
nine times this week.
The Twinks won the first one
when Portland third baseman Hil
lis Layne muffed a line drive in
the ninth inning and allowed Gene
Handley to come in with the win
ning run.
It was a heartbreaker for Vince
de Biasi, the Portland moundsmen
He allowed only three hits. Gordy
Maltzberger went the route for the
Stars and yielded six blows.
Oakland dispensed 18 hits in the
affair at Seattle. The game coulu
have been called at the end of the
first Inning and it wouldn't have
made much difference. The Oak;
pounded Rainier starter Jim Davi.
like they owned him. The carnage
produced four Oakland runs.
Every man in the Acorn lineup
hit safely, with Earl Rapp, ex
Seattle outfielder, heading the pa
rade. He drilled a triple and threi
singles in five trips, but failed tc
score or drive in a run. George Met
kovich slammed his lGtli homer ol
the year in the second innings.
Ernie Groth (7-5) will oppos<
Wilson (15-6) at Seattle tonight.
