With the exception of Hollywood.
first division teams in the Pacific

double victories. Hollywood drop
ped to fourth place by splitting a
twin bill with the last place San
Francisco Seals.
For the first time in several
weeks. there is some breathing
space between every club. Second
place, which a few days ago was
claimed by Hollywood, Portland
and Los Angeles. now is held by
the Angels with half game mar

amasSed Is hits in the first game
off Gabler and McEvoy. Camili and
Lahman each drove out three safe
ties, including two doubles. Gillick
checked the Oaks with five hits in
the nightcap. The Oaks will lose the
services of Manager Ray Brubaker
and Catcher Art Veltman probably
for several weeks as a result of ac-
cidents. Brubaker's collar bone was
fractured when he collided with
Alex Kampouris as the latter slid
into third base. Veltman split a
finger when hit by foul tip.
The Angels took both games from
the demoralized Missions by a 6 to
2 and an IL to score. Leroy Her
mann turned in his fifteenth mound
victory of the season for the An
gels in the first contest. Dick Ward
let the Missions down with five hits
in the second game and ran up
his string of triumphs to IL.
Beaten in their opening game
with the Seattle Indians Monday,
the Beavers regained their lost
prestige with a 4 to l and to 3
victory yesterday. Bowman permit
ted the Indians six hits in the first
game, while the Beavers collected
dozen off Haid and Sewell. The
Indians lost the second tilt in the
eleventh, when Blackerby, who had
walked, scored on a tumble by Nc
Larney. 1t was Seattle's fifth error
of the game.
After winning the first game, 8
to 4, the Stars fell before an un-
usually hard hitting San Francisco
team in the second, 8 to 2. The
Stars found Ken Douglas for 10
hits, but they failed to come at
the right moment. Until the ninth
inning, the Stars were unable to
tally. The Seals solved Wetzel for
II safe blows. Joe De Maggie hit
safely in his thirty-ninth straight
game.
