RAINIERS IN
SHUTOUT WIN
OYER PADRES
(By the Associated Press)
Oakland has ousted Hollywood
from the Pacific Codat league lead
for the first time since June 4—
and Seattle’s big Jim Wilson roils
! merrily on with 14 consecutive
i mound triumphs.
The Oaks made it two in a row
over Hollywood with a 1-0 win yes
terday and assumed a two-percent
age point lead—.596 to .594. The
veteran Clyde Shoun posted his 11th
victory in a southpaw duel with
Herb Knrpel. Each pitcher gave up
only two hits.
But the amazing Wilson, never
hotter in his 28 years, again posted
the day's top performance. The
Rainier righthander fanned 12 and
allowed three hits in blanking San
j Diego. 3-0.
! It also ran Wilson's string of
I scoreless innings to 37. One more
| full length shutout and he’ll tie
the PCL record of 46 set in 1905
by Bill Tozer of Los Angeles. He has
two more wins to go to reach Frank
Browning's league mark of 16 for
j San Francisco in 1909.
In other games, San Francisco’s
A1 Lien posted his 13th victory by
spacing 12 Los Angeles hits for a
3-1 decision, and Sacramento’s Bill
Evans subdued Portland, 4-3.
Incidentally, five of Wilson’s
strikeouts came in stccession in the
first two innings, and he walked
only one man. His Seattle mates,
helped by two errors, gave him two
runs in the first two frames. Jackie
Albright’s homer in the ninth was
extra gravy.
The Oaks sewed up their import
ant affair in the first inning when
speedy Artie Wilson beat out a bunt,
stole second, raced to third on an
infield out and scored on a fielder’s
choice.
The game could have ended right
there as Shoun and Karpel, recent
star acquisition from Seattle, bat
tled scorelessly on. Each pitcher
pitcher fanned six batters in one
of the year’s closest duels.

PHILADELPHIA. July 13 — tfl —
Ike Williams was expected to use
George (Sugar) Costner as a step
ping stone to a welterweight ti'le
fight with Ray (Sugar i Robinson,
Instead, the lanky Costner thrashed
lightweight champ Williams and
emerged himself as top contender
for Robinson's crown.
Costner turned in the fistic up
set of the year last night when he
handed Williams one of the worst
licking the 135 pound titleholder
ever received. The Camden, N. J.
negro simply smashed Ike into
submission in a 10 round non-title
scrap at Shibe Park.
So superior was Costner that one

in the league’s standings.

boxing returned to the Inland Em
pire.
The Seattle belter, at 170. had a

early in the bout.
Matthews won all 10 rounds to
keep his record clean in his bid
for the world light heavyweight
crown.
A crowd of 3,431 contributed to

presented here by Jimmy Fitten,

LA MOTTA IN
EASY WIN IN
MITRI MATCH
l
NEW YORK. July 13—IJV- An
other Jake La Motta-Ray Robinson
fight was in the making today fol
lowing the middleweight champ
ion's easy conquest of Italy's Tib
erio Mitri.
La Motta was due to step into
' the offices of the International
! Boxing Club some time this after
j noon to pick up a check of around
i $33,700 and to discuss plans for a
j sixth scrap with the welterweight
j king.
The 29-year-old Bronx bull paved
I the way for that encounter by
! I siting out a 15-round unanimous
j decision over. Mitri in Madison
j Square Garden last night.
| It was like old times in the
j palace of sock os a surprisingly
j large turnout of 16.369 paid $99,841
and rocked the rooi wi'h cheers.
LaMotta will cut into a lichei
pot than that if he signs to take
m Sugar Ray outdoors in Sep
| -t mber.
LaMotta won only one of his
five bouts with Robinson but all
except one were very close.
There was no doubt about last
night’s decision. You could almost
see LaMotta. a shrewd businessman,
counting the house as,.lie .started
with Mitri. He hasn’t looked that
good in years. Making 159 pounds
(Mitri weighed the samel didn’t
bother the champ at all.
He won just about as he pleased
over the previously unbeaten in
vader.

TWO BIG GAMES
ON SCHEDULE IN
MAJOR LEAGUES
(By the Associated Press)
The chips will be down tonight
when Philadelphia risk, its hard
won first place in the National
League against the second place
Cardinals in the opening of a vital
three-game series at St. Louis.
This is the big game or the day
as majors return to family feuding
after the All-Star melodrama, al
though an important series opens
tonight also at Yankee Stadium.
Cleveland's Indians, a game and
one-half back of the second place
New York Yankees in the Ameri
can circuit, have a three-game job
at the Stadium. The injury-riddled
Yanks are three games back of the
league-leading Detroit Tigers, who ■
meet the Senators at Washington
in another night tussle.
But the Phillies vs Cardinals af
fair dominates the scene, and upon
• the outcome rests temporary leader
ship in the National loop. The j
amazing Phillies, holding a one
game edge over St. Louis, are ex
pected to shdot Curt Simmons (10-5)
against Howie Pollet (9-5) in a
battle of southpaws.
Both the Phils and Cards have
to take into consideration the fast
stepping Boston Braves, slamming
along in third place only two games
out of the lead.
Billy Southworth’s boys are in'
Cincinnati for a night game with i
the Reds, and Johnny Sain with a i
12-5 record is due to be on the
mound for the Beantowners.
