RAINIERS IN WIN
IN ONE GAME BY
UNIQUE DECISION
.
By JIM HUBBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
Paul Richards, Manager of the
Seattle Rainiers, wins baseball
games by keeping one eye on the j
ball and the other on the rule book. 1
For example: what happens when
your man belts a homer and skips
second base on his way around
the diamond?
Richards had a better answer to
that one than Oakland did last
night and it cost the Oaks a 7 to 6
setback in the first game of a Pa- :
cific Coast League doubleheader.
The homer came off the bat of
Seattle's A1 Lyons during a six-run !
second inning. Lyons thought his
swat was merely another outfield
fly. So when he cut second base,
Oakland called for a new ball from
plate umpire Bill Engelin and tossed
it to second for the putout—or so it
seemed. %
No, Richards pointed out during
the ensuing rhubarb, you have to

[ return the ball to the pitching rub
ber Where play must resume after
a ball is whacked out of the park.
Whereupon he sent Lyons back to
touch second and retrace his steps
to the plate.
Oakland got revenge in the sec
ond game, however, with Cookie
Lavagetto’s ninth inning single driv
ing in the run that beat the Rain
iers, 4 to 3.
Hollywood lost again to Portland
for the fifth straight time, 7 to 3.
This, combined with the Seattle
Oakland split, dropped the second
place Stars another half game be
hind the Acorns, who now lead the
pack by seven lengths in what be
gins to look like a shoo-in.
Las Angeles rallied in the seventh
to overcome San Diego for the first
time this week, 6 to 4, and San
Francisco trimmed Sacramento, 6
to 3, in last night's other games.
Veteran Harry Feldman pitched
the victory for the Seals. He lasted
just long enough to put down a
Solon uprising in the ninth. At Los
Angeles, the Angels turned in a
four run seventh to overtake the
Padres and drive starting pitcher
George Zuverink off the mound in
the process. The key hit of the in
ning was a poke by Frankie Baum
holtz which had double play writ
ten all over it. But it caromed off
Zuverlnk’s glove and skittered
through the legs of third baseman
Bobby Wilson.
