By UNITED PRESS

San Diego. back in first place

the tail-end Portland Beavers this
week in the Mexican border city
and appeared to be cinch to in
crease their half-game margin over
Oakland'S Acorns, who must face
the fourth place Hollywood Stars in
Emeryvllle.
San Francisco's Seals, showing
some OF the sass usually connected
with their club, took four to three
series from the Acorns and moved
over to Sacramento, where their old
nemesis Tony Freitas is awaiting
them. The Solons were on the short
end of a four to three game count
with the Padres last week.
Seattle. which won one of three
games with the Portland Beavers,
goes to Los Angeles, leaving the
northwest temporarily without base
ball. The Angels lost a series to
their cross town rivals, four games
to three. last week. But still are
in third place by half game over
the Stars.
In Sundays encounters, San
Francisco beat Oakland 7 to then
dropped the nightcap to 4; San
Diego twice thumped Sacramento,
5 to 4 and II to 6, the latter game
in 10 innings. Portland licked Seat
tie 5 to l then had the second game
called by rain in the third. Los
Angeles and Hollywood divided, the
Angels taking the first 7 to and
the Stars the second 3 to 2.
San Diego's double win over the
Solons showed them back into first
place. They punched nine hits off
George Munger and Warren Lilly
in the first game to score five runs
IN the third fourth and fifth in
nings. Meanwhile Byron Hum

ing eight hit ball. Bob Blattner's
home run with two men on base
in the seventh inning was not suf-
ficient to give the Solons the edge.
Tied call at the end of the sev-
enth inning of the nightcap, the
Padres took advantage of three hits,
walks and infield bobbles to put
across five runs in the 10th inning.
Rollic Van Slate and Oscar Judd

Sport Notes


The tip was. Watch BraWley S
varsity and Glass B track teams IN
the san Diego District meet come
Saturday this week following the
Wildcat victory in the county meet
The tip was offered because
BraWl5y boasts one of the best bal
anced teams to represent the val
ley in lHany seasons.
But the varsity competition is the
toughest in coast circles. and as a
result the northenders are in for
their stiffest competition of the
season. BraWley's Bees, however.
appear to have the inside track q.
The Wildcat Eighties were winners
OF the division one year ago.
A good pitcher always follows a
program Of improving his delivery,
OF adding a few new tricks to his
trade. so no one in particular was
surprised when Red Ruffing came
up with a "screwball" to add TO his
list of weapons this year.
The famous Yankee right -hander
uses It as a change of pace against
left-handed swingers.
Rufus the Red asserts the pitch
does not strain his arm. which is
odd inGsmuch as the screw ball
hurt the arms of Carl Hubbell and
others.
Ruffing throws his screw ball
overland letting the ball 60
off the inside OF his middle finger.
1t sinks away from a left handed
batter
Ruffing is such a great pitcher
that a sore arm actually improved
him. He dabbled around came
