BY UNITED PRESS

Oakland's AcornS, who decorated
the top of the Pacific Coast league
for the early weeks OF the season,
were back on top today after a
plunge to the depths usually oc-
cupied by Portland's Beavers and
the San Francisco Seals, neither
of which have had their heads
above water for any length of time.
Oakland spanked Seattle for the
third straight time. to 2, and
pulled nine points above the Rain
iers but the prize game of the night
was the outrageous 13 to blister
ing San Diego's Padres gave the
Seals
The game was such a farce that
Manager Lefty O'Doul took it upon
himself to pitch in the eighth in
ming, with the score 10 to Against 4
him. He walked one batter, got an
other out on an infield Out, and
then when balk was called on
him, threw his glove in the air in
disgust and stormed off the field.
A heckler got his goat and ODoul
retaliated with a kick in the brit
ches. Jack Burns, who hasn't pitch
ed since the second grade, took up
the mound duties and walked three
men. How the Seals ever got the
Padres out at all will always be a
mystery. They do say Lefty won
30 games as a pitcher-back in
1919.
Jack Salveson won his own game
for Oakland in turning back Seattle
with six hits. In the fourth inning
Marvin Gudat singled, Cecil Dunn
doubled him in, Lloyd Christopher
got to first when hit by Ira Scrib-
ner, and Ernie Raimondi bunted him
to second. Salveson then doubled
to score Dunn and Christopher.
In the seventh inning, with two
out and Bill Schuster on base,
George Archie, Dick Gyselman and
Bill Lawrence singled in succession,
Schuster and Archie scoring. Bill
Walker and Don Tate finished on
the mound for the RainierS.
Sacramento made it two out of
three from the Angels by pounding
out to win.
Hollywood again shut out Port
land to behind Wayne Osborne's S
five-hit pitching. The stars blasted
Bill Thomas for IL hits, including
Bill Brenzel's eighth-inning homer
with Bob Kahle ahead of him.

Scores 81 toLead
In National Open

CLEVELAND, June 7. (UP)-ThiS
is the day the axe falls in the Ma
tional Open Golf championship,
chopping all except 60 players from
the list of 1863 who started out yes
terday full of hope that they might
win the most important tournament
in the world.
This is the day when the field
sets out in pursuit of Sam Snead,
the long, true hitter from the hills
of West Virginia who shot devastat-
ing golf in the opening round and
left broken records in his wake.
Snead, putting with magic touch,
and smashing 'em out terrific dis
tanceS off the tee, came in with
a 81. That score set a record for
the opening round of the National
Open and also set course record
for the Canterbury Country club
where the 1910 tournament is be-
ing played
Snead flashed a dazzling game
yesterday in nicking five strokes
off of par, but there are 54 weary
holes yet to go and swapping on
his heels are some tough customers
who never say die until the last
putt is down. Right behind him
at SO, for instance, are Horton
Smith, the demon putter, Ed Oliver,
a chunky pro from Hornell, N. Y,
who has the long, smashing game
that the Canterbury course calls
for.
Standing at 10 is little Ben Ho-
gan, suffering from a cold but still
betting the ball mile off the tee,
and with him are Vic Ghezzi and
Al HuSke of Dekalb, Ill.
The II shooters are Leland Glib
son, Kansas City, Robert Babbish,
Rochester, Mich, Henry j. Kaiser,
Racine, Wis, Andrew Gibson, Bal
timore, and Gene Sarazen, veteran
professional
AT 72 are Sammy Byrd, former
outfielder of the New York Yanks
and now golf pro, Byron Nelson,

To tell you the truth. as a golfer
he has only one fault 1t isn't in
his swing. which is the best in the
field. 1t isn't in his putting touch
or his approach shots but it is in
a trick fault in his vision. Snead
simply does not have the ability
TO judge distance.
He is constantly in danger of us

Fortunately for his chances here.
Canterbury is such a long course
