FOUR TWIN
GAMES FOR
PC LEAGUE
Bv Associated Tress
The gargantuan helping of base
ball served up yesterday for Pacific
Coast League fans should1 keep even
the hungriest of them satisfied un
til play resumes Tuesday.
Four doubleheaders were on the
menu, frosted with six overtime
innings.
Luck was going all one way.
Portland defeated Hollywood 7-6
and 4-3, Seattle won over San Fran
cisco 4-2 and 4-3, Oakland took
San Diego 5-2 and 6-5. and Sacra
mento whipped Los Angeles 14-6
and 8-7.
At Portland, both games went
beyond the limit, one inning in the
first and three past the scheduled
seven in the second. Fred Haney,
Hollywood manager, played the
second game under protest. Ke had
a verbal agreement, he said, not tc
play beyond 6 p.m. because his team
had chartered a plane for 7 p.m.
Threat of rain delayed the opening
game more than an hour.
At Seattle, tight baseball was the
order of the day. Marv Grissom
turned in his sixth straight pitching
win in the nightcap. Despite the low
scores, both teams belted a total of
19 hits in the first game, 17 in the
second.
rmu news v.aa wuacu vwm guwu
at Seattle. A1 Lyons, who came from
the outfield at Portland a week ago
to pitch a one-hitter for the Pain
ters, asked that he not be started
again this year. Manager Rogers
Hornsby said the ex-major leaguer
feared a permanent injury to hi:
right arm. The sore wing once kept
him out of play for three seasons.
The action left Portland three
and a half games ahead of Oakland
and Sacramento, tied for second
place. Sharing third place honors
were Seattle and Los Angeles, four
games behind the leader.

Thunderstruck by the club's 11th |
consecutive defeat — yes, the Giants j
lost again yesterday — New York
fandom is wondering what Leo Du- j
i cher is going to do next.
Just picture the Giants’ plight to- j
day. The situation is almost unbe
lievable. This is the ballyhooed
Giants, the club a majority of ex
perts picked on opening day to win
the flag. Now, two weeks later, Du
roclier’s “my kind of club'’ is wal
lowing deep in the basement.
It was not until the sixth inning
yesterday that the Dodgers broke
up a 2-2 deadlock with a three-run
uprising to pave the way for their
6-3 victory.
Lurry Jansen who started so well
! with that opening day hut out win,
i ivas .he loser.
Three-Way Tic
The victory put the Brooks into
i a three-way tie for first place with
Boston and St. Louis. The Braves
divided a doublcheader with Phila
delphia. They won the opener, 1-0.
although held to two hits by Jocko
Thompson. The Phils overcame a
six-run first inning by Boston to
win the second game, 10-9.
Hurry Brechen held the Cubs to
six hits in Chicago to w'in his sec
ond game as the Cardinals pounded
out v 6-3 triumph.
Pittsburgh* climaxed an uphill
battle, beating Cincinnati. 9-8. in
the opener of a doubleheader that
went 13 innings. The second game
ended in a 1-1 10-inning tie called
because of the Pennsylvania curfew
law.
Browns Win Twin
The lowly St. Louis Browns
| stunned the Cleveland Indians by
swf oing both ends of their double
header in St. Louis, G-3 and 13-11.
The Senators backed into their
share of the lead, accepting a 4-0
licking by the Yankee;; in New York
Boston’s Red Sox tallied four run*
in the 13th to outlast the Athletics,
12-8, in the first game of a sched
uled twin bill in Philadelphia. The
Sunday 5:45 lESTi curfew called
a halt to hostilities in the second

We, too, could make a beer without layering
... but not Budweiser. Lager beer is beer that
goes through a long second fermentation,
which really ages it. In that process, Mother
Nature also enriches it with bubbling, natural
carbonation. It’s the costliest brewing process
1 known... and it creates the exquisite bouquet
and distinctive taste of Budweiser.
