Oakland Trims
Seattle TO Hand
Barrett 4th Loss
By UNITED PRESS

Oakland handed Seattle another
trimming, 40. last night to cut
Seattle'S lead in the Pacific Coast
league TO Is games.
Jack Salveson handled the Rain
iers, giving them four hits one at
time. The Oaks got three runs
in the sixth when Glenn Chapman
raped out double with the bases
loaded. Dick Barrett allowed seven
hits. The win put Oakland a clear
game ahead of Oakland for second
place.
Los Angeles had bad evening,
dropping the first game of a double
header with San Diego, ga, and
wasting lot of time on a nightcap
that ran into a ScoreleSS tie at the
time limit The Padres put On a
Iour-run rally in the fifth to win
the opener. Howard Craghead and
Bill Thomas gave the Angels II
hits while San Diego was getting
l3 off John Fallon, Fay Thomas
and Lee Stine. The nightcap was
scoreiess when the time limit ar
rived at the end of the seventh,
so the game went for naught. UP
to that point Lefty Prim of Los
Angeles and Herman Pillette of
San Diego had each allowed four
hits.
Sacramento's Tony FreitaS was
good for a Al win over San Fran
cisco, although the Solons booted
three errors around and each side
had eight hits. Quay, Kittle, Jensen
and Ballou were on the hill for the
Seals.
Hollywood took wide-open III
victory from Portland. teeing off
on three Portland pitchers for 18
hits. Wayne Osborne and Hiram
Bithorn gave the Ducks eight blows.
Joe Gonzales. Lefty Irwin and Walt
Hilcher pitched for the losers.

Jri0ufe :.
They paid tribute to the greatest
outfielder in the National league
Wednesday night. little Melvin OFT,
who has been playing baseball for
the New York Giants for Is years
and the little man who's always
there received the biggest ovation
ever heard in the polo grounds.
But here. Harry Ferguson, the
sports editor of the United Press,
was there, so let him report to
you of baseball miracle.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
The artificial sun of the great
floodilghts whitened the Polo
Grounds, 53.997 persons were JAM
med into bleachers and stands -
and then, in the cool of last even
ing, the miracle came to pass.
Brooklyn Dodger fans yelled
themselves hoarse for a member
of the New York Giants! It never
happened before and it may never
happen again, for baseball's worst
feud RACES between followers of
the Dodgers and Giants. But last
night there were a few fleeting
minutes of true, for this was
very special occasion.
This was Mel OFT day.
There he Stood nervous and en-
baraSsed at the great wave of ap-
plause that poured down on him
from Dodger and Giant fans alike
He stood before a table at home
plate where fans, team mates and
baseball writers had piled the gifts
they had bought-a figurative pat
on the back that has been overdue
these many years to one of the
great ball players of all time.
McGRAW KNEW
Not long ago someone recalled
that Mel OFT, now 80 years old,
had spent almost half of his life
playing baseball-and top-flight
baseball-for the Giants He was
only l6 years old when he came
up out of Gretna, louisiana, a
raw, green kid who had little to
recommend him except a swing
OF fluid power at the plate. John
McGraw took one look at him and
said: There's a ball player"
OFT was catcher then, but
McGraw's sure instinct for base
ball talent told him the boy ought
to be an outfielder. So an out
fielder he became, and, although
he has plugged infield holes in
emergencies, he remains an out
fielder. He is such a good out
fielder that the Giant fans across
the years began to take him for
granted. Quiet, modest, playing the
game to the hilt every day, never
alibing in defeat and never boast
ing in victory, OFT might have gone
quietly out of the major leagues
some day if his friends hadn't TAX
en- charge of the situation.
They went back to his record
and this is what they found:
Up TO this year he has a major
league batting average of .315.
He has hit 378 home runs, more
than any other National league
player.
He has batted in l,434 runs. |
more than any other active National
leaguer and is crawling up toward
Rogers Hornsby's record of 1882. |
He won the 1888 world series
from the Washington Senators
with a home run in the tenth |
inning.
He has been a batting practice
catcher, right fielder, a third
baseman and a second baseman
for the Giants and has done a
ereditable job at each position.
SPEECHES BRIEF
The speeches were brief last
night. Carl Hubbell presented OFT
with a set of golf clubs from the
Giants; the baseball writers gave
