Although they probably lost little
sleep over it, four pitchers came
within one run of shutout perform
ances in last night’s Pacific Coast,
League activities.
Each losing team scored one con
solation run as San Diego edged
Oakland, 3-1, Hollywood trounced
Portland, 11-1, Seattle dispatched
San Francisco, 6-1, and to compleu
the trend, Los Angeles beat Sacra
mento, 9-1.
Guy Fletcher, who at 41 is the
oldest active player in the league
pitched the San Diego victory ir
a convincing, eight-hit demonstra
tion that there’s still life left in the
old flivver.
Fletcher saw his shutout go down
the drain in the elgth inning wher.
Earl Rapp doubled Oakland’s run
across.
Another old timer. Jack Salveson
pitched five-hit ball for Hollywood
as the third place Stars moved to
within a game and a half of the
league-leading Solons. The run cfl
Salveson came in the first inning.
Bob Hall, the Seattle Adonis, put
the Rainiers only one game behinc
the Solons with another seven-hit
ter against the tail end club. San
Francisco. Bill McCawley’s seventh
inning homer spoiled Hall’s shutout
bid.

the Dodgers last night. He pounded
out four hits, a home run. a double
and two singles and drove in three
runs to spearhead the Dodgers' 11
hit attack.
The New York Giants remained
n second place as a result of their
3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds
in a day game. Errors by Virgil
Siallcup and Connie Ryan helped
the Giants to score three runs in
the eighth and break a 2-2 tie.
Errors also helped Robin Roberts
and the Philadelphia Phillies beat
t'ne Chicago Cubs, 5-0. The Cubs
trade four errors, which figured in
l.ree of the Phils’ runs.
One American Game

Boston Red Sox defeated the De
troit Tigers, 2-0, behind the five
hit pitching of Bill Wight, who went

BULLETIN—NEW YORK, Juno
14 - The Joe Louis-Lee Savoid
15-round light has been postponed
another 24 hours and now will be
fought in Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night, the International
Boxing Club announced today.
The bout originally was scheduled
for last night but was set back be
sausa of rain and now has been
postponed a second time.
NEW YORK, June 14 —IM— Fore
casts of clear and warmer weather
for tonight brightened the hopes of
Joe Louis and Lee Savoid as they
awaited the starting gong for their
make-or-break 15-round fight in trie
Polo Grounds.
Neither of the aged gladiators
showed any outward concern over
yesterday's postponement. A de
pressing drizzle beat down on the
streets early Wednesday morning.
Both, however, voiced a desire to
"gel it over with" tonight. They've
trained for over a month and at
their age — Louis is 37 and Savoid
35 — they could lose their edge
overnight.
If the weatherman is crossed up
and forces another postponement,
he scrap will be transferred indoors
to Madison Square Graden and be
held Friday night.
