SAN DIEGO IN
LATE SEASON
POWER SURGE
By JIM Hl'BBART
(Associated Press Sportswriter)
If the San Diego Padres are
assaying a comeback, then they
probably started too late to do them
selves much good in the Pacific
Coast League pennant race. But the
Padres today are in a position to
administer a double dose of embar
rassment to the opposition.
The scourge of the circuit before
mid-season rigor mortis set in, San
Diego rang up its 10th straight vic
tory last night by whipping Port
land, 4 to 2. Bulwarked by the in
evitable Suitcase Simpson, the Padre
batting power was there in .413.
Despite the triumph, however,
San Diego still dropped half a
notch more behind the pace setting
Oakland Acorns, who took a double
header from San Francisco; 6 to 1
and 6 to 5.
That tv^nl killing roacbed things
up for ev^yfcody. ’
At Seattle, tbe Rainiers split a
double bill with Sacramento. The
.sedftt?‘Hite 3.'-to D'both; times-. The
Scions needed 10 innings to beat
Jim Wilson, Seattle’s 20 game win
ner, in the finale; shabby base run
ning cost them the'opener.
At Los Angeles, Choctaw Cal Mc
LiSh pitched the Angels to a six hit,
3 to 0 shutout over Hollywood. In
posting his 15th triumph, McLish
fanned seven and faced only 32 bat
ters.
Simpson slammed his 23rd home
run of the season for San Diego. It
came with one man aboard, brought
his RBI total to 100, and gave him
31 hits for the months of August.
Wilson was working on a six. game
winning streak before Sacramento
cut him short on Len Ratto’s 10th
inning double with two men aboard.
Loutish base running by John Lu
cadello cost the Sacs a run in the
first game. He dogged it between
third and home, with the result that
a throw from the outfield nabbed
Joe Marty for the third out of the
inning before Lucadello could cross
the plate. A1 Lyons drove in all Se
attle’s three runs in the opener with
a double and home run.
The second game at San Fran
cisco was called after seven innings
because of the curfew. The Oaks
won both games in the seventh—the
first with a six run assault that
wrecked A1 Lien's one hitter; the
second with a three run outburst
at the expense of Manny Perez.

LOUIS FAVORED
TO RECAPTURE
HEAVY CROWN
NEW YORK. Aug. 18—UB—Ezzard
Charles, the NBA-recognized heavy
weight king, will be the underdog
Sept. 27 when he meets Joe Louis
I at Yankee Stadium.
First odds offered were 3 to 1 that
the Brown Bomber, now 36. would
recapture the title he surrendered
18 months ago. Perhaps they'll
shorten before fight time, but Louis,
| as always, will be favored.
Charles, 29, never has made a
smashing hit with the public.
In line with their drawing power,
Louis will get 35 percent and
Charles 20 percent. Their managers
! agreed to that yesterday in phone
conversations with international
Boxing Club officials.
B. B.STARS
Stars of major league baseball
games played yesterday are:
Batting — Gil Coan, Senators —
beat Yankees with two-run triple
in eighth inning, 2-1.
Pitching — Steve Gromek, In

5-4 game in 12th.

Giants Losej
Doubleheader
*
To Brooklyn
(By the Associated Press)
Bosto nand Brooklyn, the pre
season pennant picks, are down but
not out today—6'a games back with
about six weeks to go.
Surging at Fenway Park, fourth
place Boston has a five-game win
ning streak going in the American
League. All were scored at the ex
pense of the tattered Philadelphia
A’s, 10-6 victims last night. Wash
ington comes into Fenway tonight,
followed by all the western clubs.
Brooklyn, cooling off the New
York Giants yesterday in both ends
of a doubleheader, 8-6 and 5-1, re
gained second place in the National
League from Boston. But those idle
Phillies, showing no signs of slack
ening their pace, threaten to romp
home. The Phils open a scries in
New York tonight while Brooklyn
entertains Boston.
Home runs by Gene Hermanski,
Gil Hodegs and Billy Cox helped
Don Newcombe struggle to his 12th
victory in the opener. Still the Dod
gers needed a fine relief job by
Pj-eacher Roe. Roe came in with the
bases loaded in the eighth and three
runs home. He made Don Mueller
rap into a double play, then breezed
through the ninth.
Erv Palica tamed the Giants with
four hits in the second game. Carl
Furillo ruined New York with his
14th homer, a single and fly ball to
drive in three runs.
Cincinnati shaded Chicago. 2-1,
in the only other National League
game. Kenny Raffensberger scat
tered six Cub hits.
Rain Wins One
Rain washed out the Pittsburgh
at-St. Louis night game. Philadel
phia and Boston were not scheduled.
Detroit clung to its three-game
lead over runnerup Cleveland in
the American chase. New York’s loss
to Washington dropped the Yanks
4 'k games back and only two games
ahead of the Red Sox.
The Tigers stomped Chicago, 8-3,
on nine hits and nine walks. Aaron
Robinson and George Kell each hit
his eighth homer.
Cleveland had to go 12 innings to
whip the stubborn St. Louis Browns,
5-4. Early Wynn’s pinch single fol
lowing Ray Boone’s triple did the
trick.
New York’s Yankees, only first
division club to tumble, bowed to
the Senators, 2-1. After pitching
no-hit ball for 6 1/3 ininngs, Allie
Reynolds finally bowed to Sid Hud
son. In addition, the Yanks lost the
services of outfielder Hank Bauer,
hit on the head by a throw from
catcher A1 Evans, trying to pick
him off third.
Reynolds’ no-hitter was broken
by Sherry Robertson's infield single
in the seventh. In the eighth Gil
Coan’s two-run triple won the game
after a two-base error by Phil Riz
zuto on Hudson’s grounder had
opened the gates.
Ellis Kinder went the route for
the Red Sox to win his 12th game.
The loss was the 19th in succession
for the Athletics at Fenway in two
seasons.
fOWN CRIERS
TAKE ALL-STARS
BY 19 TO 6 SCORE
The power laden Town Criers
gapped out a 19 to 6 victory over
an all star team picked from the
Juneau softball league last night
at the Evergreen Bowl. No home
runs were registered.
Jim Vuille of the Town Criers
and Richard Allen of the All Stars
cracked long triples. Vuilles’ hit
landed on the concrete of the ten
nis court, but due to the excess
weight in various portions he was
pushed to drag everything into
third base. Allen’s hit was a hard
drive over the Town Criers center
fielders head for a well deserved
three base knock. Allen's hitting
and fielding last night has proven
without a doubt that he is the
most promising high school player
to hit the Juneau softball league
to date.
The battery for the Town Criers
were Tom Powers, catcher and John
Scott, pitcher. For the All Stars,
Carl Mueller catcher, and Sgt. Ja
cobs and Lowell Trump, pitchers.
The next meeting of these two
teams will be Monday night at 7
p.m. at the Evergreen Bowl.
