RAINIER!
KEEP ON.
WINNING
_*
By Associated Press
With the Pacific Coast League’s
halfway point only five days away
the Seattle Rainiers are looking like
a convincing animation of ancient
baseball saying which prophesies:
The team that leads the league on
the Fourth of July will win the pen
nant.
The Rainiers rang up their fourth
straight triumph last night, beating
Oakland, 3-2, quicker than you could
say A1 Lyons. Lyons, in fact, did
the job almost single handedly. Hf
drove in all three runs, the last om
vay of a bases loaded single in
the ninth inning.
Los Angeles slumped to sixth place
by losing both ends of a night dou
ble header at Portland, 3-2 and 6-1.
Hollywood, meanwhile, remained
in second place, three games behind,
by polishing off Sacramento, 7-2, be
hind Johnny Lindell’s five-hit pitch
ing and tbe batwork of Outfielder
Dino Resteni.
San Diego took a 6-4 triumph over
San Francisco in the battle for last
place.
