SPORTS
RAINIER!
LOSE 6-3 IN
LONG GAME
(By the Associated Press)
Hollywood and Oakland are so
far in front of the pack today that
the Pacific Coast League pennant
chase begins to assume the propor
tions of a rout.
The Hollywoods resumed their
fence busting operations at the ex
pense of San Francisco last night
by scoring 10 times in the first two
innings and coasting in to a 13 to
2 triumph.
Oakland lost by 5 to 4 in a 10
inning affair at Los Angeles, but it
didn’t make much difference in the
overall scheme of things. The near
est contender to the second place
Acorns is San Diego, and the Padres
are 11 games off the pace.
Clarence Maddern’s single with
the bases loaded in the 10th was the
blow that wrecked the Acorns and
put them three games behind.
Portland and Seattle also became
embroiled in an overtime contest,
with the Beavers emerging on the
long end of a 6 to 3 score.
A pair of doubles by Luis Mar
quez and pitcher Bill Fleming did
the job for the Beavers in the 11th
inning on this occasion.
At Sacramento, Orval Grove
turned in a five hitter and pitched
the last place Solons to a 9 to 1
conquest over San Diego.
j The Padres, who lead the circuit
in total errors, committed four more
j last night enroute to their defeat.

BROWNS TALK OF
MOVING IS GIVEN
SLAP BY CHANDLER
NEW YORK, July 6——Com
missioner A. B. Chandler has told
the St. Louis Browns politely that
if they want to talk about moving
their franchise they should do it
during the off-season.
The Commissioner’s office in Cin
cinnati made the disclosure after
Frank Shaugnessy, president of the
International League, had lodged a
firm protest..
Shaughnessy said the talk about
moving the franchise to Baltimore
had cut down attendance consider
ably in that city. He sharply criti
cized Bill Dewitt, president of the
Browns.
“Fans are of the mistaken opinion
that the present ownership is
blocking a movement to bring big
league baseball to Baltimore,"
Shaughnessy said.
“It’s the worst case of tampering
I ever heard of. Something should
be done to stop Dewitt. And the
Commissioner agrees with me.”
